Chapter 106 Thriving

In order to reap greater benefits in the future, King Lu finally gave up his plan to confiscate the granary of Hexian County and make it his own.

Lin Zhihuang hid behind Lin Zheyun and borrowed Lin Zheyun's hand to immediately put the government's grain store on the market. Each person with a household registration in Fanhe County could buy three liters of grain from the government grain store once every three days based on his household registration.

, the price of grain returned to the price of two hundred cents per bucket of rice.

After the people of Hexian County learned about this, they rushed into the government grain stores with their household registrations to buy grain. After actually buying grain at the price of two hundred coppers per dou of rice, the people in the city burst into tears of gratitude and shouted "Qingtian Da Da" with tears in their eyes.

Master, everyone is happy and excited, just feel like they are back in the world again.

At this point, the only bad thing for the people of Hexian County is that they were forcibly recruited as soldiers by the rebel General Chongtian. The young and strong people in Hexian County who used to be good people still don’t know what their situation is now.

It would be better if he is rescued and reunited with his family.

The problem of food and clothing was solved, and the people began to look forward to other things. They hoped that the rebels would be annihilated by the court in the near future, capture this thief, and rescue the young men who were forcibly conquered by the rebels.

The refugees who did not have household registration in Hexian County and entered Hexian County because the rebels stormed the city, some of whom were even family members of the rebels, suddenly panicked.

Just when these refugees were thinking that they would be driven out of Hexian County again, the government sent "commission officers", which were newly created by the county magistrate of Hexian County and were specially set up to distribute "labor labor" to people who were not from Hexian County.

It is said to be labor, but it is not the kind of labor that the government used to treat people who were not used by others.

In the past, when the government distributed labor force, it was based on the number of households. When the people went to serve, it was not only their contribution, but they also had to prepare their own food to fill their stomachs. Even though it was so harsh, they were treated like beasts, and their actions were slightly

Slow down, and the soldiers will be whipped to serve you. I don't know if I can survive.

The "labor labor" distributed in Hexian County today is different. Not only taking care of food and food, they are also relatively easy jobs to build rivers and pave roads, and are not limited to men and women. As long as they are willing to work, they can take the job.

They can also receive a one-yin subsidy per month! This is a good thing that refugees like them would not dare to think of before.

Therefore, in order to earn more money, these refugees, regardless of age or sex, went to the "commissioner" to receive "labor labor".

The tasks of "labor" include clearing snow on the streets, repairing damaged houses, building huts, building city gates and walls, developing wasteland, etc.

Some were lucky enough to be assigned to the newly established "Carpentry Workshop". They could not only work but also learn a craft and get paid for it. It was simply wonderful. If they wanted to learn some craft before, they would go to the shop to work.

Not only do you have to pay for the job, but you also have to be beaten and scolded by the master in order to learn a little bit of the craft.

If all "labor" in the world were like this, they would be willing to do "labor" for the rest of their lives.

So the refugees took active action. At first, the people in Hexian County were still somewhat resistant to these refugees, but after they were arranged by the commissioners, they started working, plowing snow, building houses, and everyone looked hard-working and willing.

As it turned out, Hexian County saw great changes day by day and quickly accepted these people.

After all, they refugees did not harm the common people here too much, but the wealthy squires suffered a great disaster. Those wealthy squires had oppressed the people of Hexian County in the past, and they died when they died. The common people could only applaud and applaud.

After the wealthy gentry in the city were massacred by the rebel General Chongtian, many houses were left vacant. After entering the city, these refugees hid in them to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and did not rob the homes of ordinary people like them.

At this time, when the new houses in Hexian County have not been built, these refugees have to temporarily spend the winter in these houses. Although they do not have their own homes, their mental outlook is very different. They are no longer lifeless, but have a positive attitude toward life.

There is a new head start.

Because Magistrate Lin of Hexian County said that if you have worked hard in Hexian County for three years, regardless of gender, you can settle down in Hexian County and become a native of Hexian County.

This group of refugees were overjoyed when they heard the news. They were even happier than hearing that the "laborers" would receive monthly wages. For no other reason than because they wanted to become Hexian people so much!

Look at the conduct and conduct of Magistrate Lin of Hexian County. He is a loyal and loyal person only seen in history books! It is really a good thing to be able to make a living under his rule.

The "labor labor" was fully paid and the wages were paid monthly. Many local people in Hexian County were very excited when they saw it. They asked if they could also receive this "labor labor". You must know that they had never heard of wages and wages before.

Those who get paid monthly can only get paid annually. Such a good thing cannot be given to the refugees.

The people in Hexian City took the initiative to ask for "labor", and Lin Zhihuang naturally asked for it. The surplus labor can be mobilized, and all that is produced is value, so there is no reason why she should not respond.

Hexian County has been devastated by war and is in ruins. Now is the cold winter, when there is no harvest without farming.

Lin Zhihuang took advantage of this opportunity of abundant labor and wanted to comprehensively widen and build the streets of Hexian County to give it a completely new look.

The more than 3,500 surrendered soldiers who surrendered and chose to perform "hard labor" for three years without compensation were assigned heavy tasks by Emperor Lin Zhihuang. Half of them were assigned to build city walls and roads, and the other half were assigned to open up wasteland in the countryside and dig rivers and canals.

After all, these people are different from ordinary refugees. They all have serious crimes of rebellion and cannot be leniently spared. Although they have no choice but to encourage rebellion and rebellion, they must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.

Despite this, these heavy-duty soldiers still had no complaints in their hearts and were extremely grateful to the magistrate of Hexian County.

Nothing else, because although they are doing hard labor, they can have three meals a day. It is as simple as that. As long as they have food to eat, they will survive, and that is enough.

After completing these three years of 'labor' without pay, they will become the common people of Hexian County like their wives and children at home, and put off their sinful bodies!

The population in Hexian City is in full swing.
Chapter completed!
