Chapter 103 Ubiquitous Associations(1/2)
The main room of Mrs. Wang's house is very simple, but it can be seen that her family is working hard to maintain dignity. The interior decorations, such as curtains, curtains, tents, screens, etc., are all available.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang closed the curtains, separated a private space in the lobby, and had a secret conversation with Fang Chongyong and his party.
"I wonder if you can give me some advice when your envoy is here?"
Mrs. Wang put her hands on her clothes and wiped them subconsciously, leaving traces of flour on her waist.
Hu biscuits account for a large part of Hexi's diet, and wheat rice is firmly resisted here. Anyone who has the conditions will grind wheat grains into flour to make "dry Hu biscuits".
The gadgets can be stored for a long time in the dry environment of Hexi.
Here, people can be seen everywhere who make Hu biscuits once and can eat them for a month! There is even a shop in Liangzhou that specializes in selling this kind of standardized "dried Hu biscuits". Fang Chongyong eats similar dried Hu biscuits here every day.
The biggest advantage is that it is versatile and does not have any unique flavor in itself.
"The war in Hexi is tense, and the rotation of troops has been postponed. The rotation will be carried out after the war is over."
Fang Chongyong said in a deep voice and handed the documents from the court to Mrs. Wang to read.
What is surprising is that the other party actually took the official document and read it at a glance. Then he returned it to Fang Chongyong, then nodded silently and said: "I already know about this matter, so you are interested."
Fang Chongyong was a little surprised when he saw that she didn't look like the kind of petite woman who came from an official family. Instead, she had a stout figure and was obviously good at daily farm work.
"That child is the holy son outside their temple. He knows everything. You hope that I will not be able to enter the Xilai Temple to become a monk today.
After receiving the expected answer, Anaye nodded slightly, seeming to understand part of the political ecology of Sogdia, or the Hexi Corridor.
As for the Qushe outside Hexi, the strong labor force of a certain family must have been transferred to the frontier army. Others outside the Qushe will provide high-interest loans and unpaid labor to the members according to the rules and actual conditions. In this way,
This avoids falling into easy households and borrowing low-interest loans due to various motives.
The canal society has no canal owner, and is responsible for taking the lead in repairing the canals and formulating the rules of the canal society. Although the canal society is a "democratic system" and members who boycott the canal society's activities cannot be signatories, the canal owners have very little say in it.
No matter what, the delay in the rotation of garrison soldiers is a foregone conclusion. Giving face to others is not giving face to oneself. Anaye understands the helplessness of the people at the bottom very well.
When the sun set, Anaye, who had worked hard all day, leaned under the Taishi chair I specially ordered to build, while enjoying the massage service from Fang Laique, while watching Ou Jingjun walking in the courtyard like a pigeon.
Go.
Lady Wang Qi said very weakly.
Anaye said in a very explicit and weak tone, basically giving Facheng a chance to agree.
We don’t have wheat, do we have stone mills, and your family doesn’t have stone mills, but does it have strong labor force, so other members of the commune will help your family harvest rice and barley during the autumn harvest, while we send wheat regularly, but you have worn it out for us.
Then give it back as part of the reward."
Complex summary: Government designated units!
The Seventh Lady was stunned. It seemed that such a common sense question would be asked by Anaye, who was the governor.
We must put all the pressure on the local farmers. These people are all members of the Qushe. If they want to cause trouble, there will be a big stir.
Typical "no money no talk".
A temperament that leads to laziness due to bad food and lazy work.
There are few Buddhist temples in Zhangye City, so why go to Xilai Temple?
That can be considered bad news. After all, problems that can be solved with money are only minor problems.
The settlements next to the city are also bad. If we exceed the amount, we will negotiate with the Xiaotang government about the bad amount. We are talking bad.
A pair of big eyes that are full of energy and express emotions.
There is no textile company for weaving.
"Look at the slave's memory. Your Majesty may have just been in Hexi for a long time, and he knows about the association there.
Fang Laique leaned into Anaye's ear and asked loudly.
The governor came to explain, but his attitude was not very high. A few compliments to each other were enough, and they blamed each other for what had changed.
"The saint wants you to live, right?"
A slightly less fat figure.
Suddenly thinking of that incident, Ou Jingjun asked doubtfully.
Anaye asked reluctantly, and gave the page about taxation in the draft outside the Sogdian government office to Lady Wang Qi for review.
If tax increases were to be consistent, we would have to discuss it with the law, grit our teeth, and say that we can get it together.
Anaye circled around Ou Jingjun, who was still following him. No matter how Ou Jingjun turned, I also followed him, always facing Anaye. It was just my funny look that made Ou Jingjun laugh.
broken.
We must allocate a small portion of military expenditures to local small households. The local small households themselves have a small number of internal affairs and belong to a semi-military organization. What should we do if those people defect to Tibet?
I am sure that in the suburbs of Chang'an, less than half of such families would have to hire people to work in the army because of the strong labor force outside the family. As a result, the fields were cultivated, resulting in a sharp decrease in income, or even making ends meet. In order to relieve their difficulties, the family had to hire someone to farm, and
To spend money, you have to borrow low-interest loans, or sell land to survive, increase the cultivated area, and the standard of living spirals until bankruptcy.
Believers organize themselves and participate in Buddhist temple activities. Organizations similar to Buddhist societies are too unusual.
"Uh, by the way, what are those people inside and outside the house and yard doing here?"
For example, the Qushe that Mrs. Wang Qi joined with a group of people outside the courtyard does not have a very weak social attribute, and it organizes isolated peasant families, which is a very weak and close connection.
"Does he look like I'm a fool?"
That’s right. Did the court really say that taxes would be increased by ten thousand yuan?
Anaye decided to find a time to have a chat with the owner of the canal club where Mrs. Wang Qi’s family was located.
Madam Wang Qi explained patiently, and Anaye discovered from those words that the family did not have dozens of acres of paddy fields, and the strongest members of the family joined the army, but they did not go bankrupt because of it!
Before Ou Jingjun finished speaking, Gan Hu Bing patted his chest excitedly and said, "You know! Just tell me if you don't have any instructions!"
Facheng, who was well-informed, had long known the identity and background of the newly appointed governor. Faced with Anaye's aggressive PUA, Younai accepted the "reasonable" request.
Ten guans of money is an "increased tax", not the so-called "exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes"! In addition to that, the taxes that local residents in Hexi Province have to pay every year are still high and can be reduced or reduced!
Anaye spoke, but Yu Fa looked at Ou Jingjun.
Anaye was an activist, so she immediately took Ou Jingjun to the Xilai Temple in the south of the city, which was far away from the government office. Before revealing her identity, Anaye successfully met Facheng, the abbot of Xilai Temple.
Facheng was confused and did not follow Anaye's thinking.
Thinking of the time when she was queuing up in front of Madam Wang Qi's house, no one stopped her group. Anaye suddenly realized this.
That still includes the extra miles required to hire Ganzhou people outside the city.
"The young master said that Xilai Temple plans to pay a certain amount of money. If it is more, it will be fine. If it is more, for the sake of the saint's small career, it will only be added to the people of Oujing. There will be a civil uprising by then.
Anaye adheres to the idea that a piece of paper or a piece of cloth is useless, and feels that there is no magic in that wave of routines, and Ou Jingjun is the core of the routine, and there is nothing he can do!
Facheng was not very determined. Speaking of which, the ten-year-old governor would have regarded the Sogdian natives as fools, right?
What is that?
"It must be a waste of money. This government office will recruit strong men in Zhangye City and have them trained uniformly by regimental training envoys.
When Facheng heard what he said, he awkwardly echoed: "The envoy's followers are people with small ambitions."
Anayepi smiled and patted Gan Hubing on the shoulder and said.
Anaye added.
If Yu Fa takes into account my usual habit of keeping my mouth shut... Fang Laique was really wrong when he said I was a big fool.
Ou Jingjun was shaking a cattail leaf fan in his hand, as if he heard Ganhu Bing complaining, and he looked thoughtful.
Take Lady Wang Qi’s family as an example. Two of your daughters went to work under the Chishui Army, and the fields at home were taken care of. Normally, Lady Wang Qi can do it reluctantly, but when the farming is busy, someone must come to help.
.
It seems that I have also visited other people, and I guess they are all just the same but very different.
…
"The slave is a woman. If the government asks for money, if you don't have it, there are still dozens of acres of paddy fields outside the house. It's like they have taken away the paddy fields. Anyway, if you ask for money, you don't have it."
Considering that those people have joined Qushe, they will have to rebel one by one. If a civil uprising breaks out... the consequences are dire!
Your family and these other families jointly spent money and effort to build a canal to divert white water to your farmland. In order to build the canal, you formed a canal society. In addition to coercively arranging members to maintain the canal on weekdays, you also
We will help each other according to the rules of the society.
Very slowly, Ou Jingjun walked up to Ou Jingjun and asked, "Master, do you have any instructions? Are you going to rent a carriage to go to Liangzhou?"
However, there are no tricks for fools. Sometimes fools cannot do things that abnormal people can do.
In that case, no one will be able to work outside the fields."
Raising taxes by 10 guan would cost the law 10,000 yuan. This is hardly a desperate measure. The farmers are desperate. The sandbank terrain of the Hexi Corridor means that people can also run outside the desert. It is estimated that the civil uprising will only be carried out in Sogdia.
Got it!
After appeasing the young members of Qushe and promising that the court would raise taxes so hastily, I took Ou Jingjun and A Duan away from Mrs. Wang Qi's home.
Textile company?
Anaye finally understands why these local officials in Sogdia, who would rather act like a blind man, are willing to carry out Ji Ge's autumn prevention order!
