Chapter 723 What is Welfare
Not only Yang Hu was like this on the street, but the other people were also ready to run away one by one. When the county magistrate saw the people around him in a panic, he felt very embarrassed and snorted. The county magistrate next to him immediately scolded, "No one is allowed to run away! Whoever runs around will catch them and beat the board!"
The county magistrate is still very majestic, or the majesty of the board is still very majestic. Under the threat of the board and the driving of a group of yamen runners, seventy or eighty people were driven to the gate of the yamen.
"Mr. Xu, I think the county town is not very crowded, so why don't everyone come here to listen to this good news."
The person who spoke was a young man. Yang Hu was surprised to see that the county magistrate, who was so arrogant on weekdays, had his familiar smile on his face.
Because of this smile, Yang Hu usually hangs it on his face.
He also heard a literati say that his expression was called flattery.
"Telecomman Yuan is right, so I should do this. County Magistrate Liu, why don't you go quickly!"
Yang Hu suddenly realized that the county magistrate actually showed a flattering smile. He couldn't help but wonder what he was as a young man. Who was this?
The young man had a strange little round card on his chest, with red five-pointed stars and words he didn't recognize.
Soon, County Magistrate Liu began to knock on the door and call people from door to door, and the city gate began to enter and exit. Before long, hundreds of people were gathered in front of the county government. The originally spacious place suddenly became crowded.
There is no way, most of the people with household registration live in this county town.
"Okay, the people have arrived almost. Today I summon all the villagers and elders here for a great good thing!
Everyone should know that the new governor has come to Bingzhou. He is Kou Xian and Kou Envoy, who were recommended by the General of the Northern Expedition. Kou Envoy knew that our Bingzhou was in a bad cold, so he specially wrote a letter to the General of the Northern Expedition, and approved tens of thousands of leather and wool cloth to distribute it to the poor people of Bingzhou!
And our Wuzhou County also received 150 horses! This is the kindness of Minggong, and it is the New Year's welfare for you! You must be grateful!"
Welfare?
What is welfare?
Everyone's heads were filled with question marks.
At the same time, there are some uncertain speculations.
Could it be that... the government is going to publish it to everyone?
How is that possible! From ancient times to the present, there are only officials who collect grain and money, but where are there officials who distribute grain and publish food!
If you can see that everyone is having a hard time and you will reduce your taxes, you should be crying for long live.
The man who was called the special commissioner coughed and walked up and said, "Everyone, Bingzhou is now under the rule of the General of the Northern Expedition. I think many people don't know who the General of the Northern Expedition is. This is the General of the Northern Expedition! His name is Ma Qiang and his courtesy name is Ziyu. He is our Ming Gong! He is also the object of our loyalty!!"
A huge photo was rolled up by two people and presented it to everyone. In the photo, Ma Qiang was wearing armor and looked into the distance.
Oh! This is the General of the Northern Expedition!
So young!
What a handsome young man!
Many people began to talk in a low voice. This was the first time they understood who their Ming Gong was so.
Even Liu Hong did not have such a strong presence before.
"Ming Gong loves people as much as his son. He has been worried about whether you have enough clothes to wear and whether you have food to eat this winter. However, the General's Mansion of the Conquest of Peking had just quelled Yuan Cheqi's rebellion, and there was insufficient food. He could only allocate some cloth to you so that you can survive this winter.
I believe that as long as we are led by the General, in a few years, we will definitely return to our peace and stability, every family has food to eat and everyone has clothes to wear!
However, now there are too many people and fewer people, so this time, I can only send it to the people who need it most!"
Really to post it to everyone?
Yang Hu couldn't help but shouted excitedly, "Who is the person you need the most?"
The commissioner took a look and found that it was not the one he arranged, so he couldn't help but feel even happier. He nodded and said, "This guy has asked well!
The poorest, the hardest life, and even the winter clothes are not enough to wear. The people who can only hide from the fire at home are the ones who need these cloths the most!"
That's our family?
Yang Hu wanted to jump up.
But when he thought of himself as a wild man, the light that had just lit up in Yang Hu's eyes dimmed again.
Wild people evade taxes, labor, and naturally there will be no benefits.
For example, when the Huns came to rob, the registered people could escape to the city, but he could only carry his father to the deep mountains.
After all, how can anyone not on the roster prove that you are not doing it in detail?
The commissioner saw that his supporting actor did not speak anymore, and his eyes were still a little sad, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Judging from this person's dress, he is obviously poor and can't be poor anymore.
Not to mention anything else, just the pins of the animal clothes are not like those with women at home.
The beast clothes sound amazing, but this is not a fantasy world. These kinds of fur scraps are sewn together as clothes, which has high requirements for the maker.
Yang Hu's father is obviously not within this range, so this leather jacket is just two words - bad.
The special commissioner is Yuan Hua, who was a refugee and came to Hongxing Camp with his parents since childhood. He is only nineteen years old this year and is one of the group of officials who Ma Qiang supported Kou Xian.
He had just entered the officialdom because he had not yet passed the imperial examination, so his official position was very low. Once he had a job here, he would have to work as a county official. At this time, it was just because he had criticized a special commissioner of the governor's office that made the officials in Wuzhou County respectfully respected.
The badge on his chest was rewarded for his excellent grades in Hongxingying School when he was young. Ma Qiang personally wore it for him. From that day on, the badge was always hung on his chest.
Like many younger generations in Red Star Camp, he was surrounded by Ma Qiang's iron-core. In Zhang Ning's words, these people talked about Ma Qiang, just like when she saw those senior brothers talking about her father.
That look is called fanaticism.
"Brother, why are you not very happy? Could it be that your family is rich and you feel you have lost money?"
"Hahaha, he is still rich, who doesn't know that his family has only this piece of clothing!"
Many people who knew Yang Hu laughed softly.
Yang Hu lowered his head. He wanted to escape now. The identity of the wild civilian made him afraid of the officials, but the yamen runners around him made his feet as difficult to move as iron cast.
"Yang Hu! Ask you, quickly answer Shangguan, Gong Ming and the envoy's grace, what else are you unhappy about?" County Magistrate Xu blinked at Yang Hu as he said, hoping that he would not talk about his wild people.
Anyway, the special commissioner will not check the household registration, so just give me a reason to deal with it.
"Small...small..."
A man next to him who was carrying charcoal suddenly shouted, "He is a wild citizen! He used to evade taxes, but now he has nothing to take, so I regret it!"
As the saying goes, his colleagues are enemies. Although that man also sells charcoal, he is registered. For this reason, he doesn't know how much he is to dislike Yang Hu, who is a wild citizen.
"Wild people? So what about wild people? The government forced the levy to bribe before, and you couldn't bear to escape to the mountains and fields. It's understandable!
The envoy has an order that as long as you are willing to settle down, you can divide the cloth according to your family situation. If you don’t want to, you can continue to be a wild citizen. It’s not too late to settle down when you are willing to return home.” Yuan Hua said, and the eyes of the people around him were wide.
What? I found that the wild people were not punished? I still feel it was understandable?
