Looking at the brand new chisels and copper saws distributed, a group of poor villagers with torn clothes were excitedly kowtowed to Chen Xu, "Lord Lidian is really a blessing for our villagers!"

They heard that this new Lidian is very powerful. Not only did he invent the threshing machine in front of him, he also tried to kill a four-foot-foot big snake, but he also received cordial reception and commendation from the county magistrate. Although he was only fourteen years old, there were rumors that he was the star god in the sky who came down to earth to help everyone.

"Okay, everyone will go back quickly. The villages in each village are in charge and gather all the villagers to speed up the threshing machine. It doesn't need to be too strong. Just harvest the summer wheat and autumn millet this year!"

"Thank you, Lord Lidian!" The group of people kowtowed again.

"Well, go!" Chen Xu waved his hand, and a group of ragged villagers dispersed and returned to the village.

"You four should pay close attention to the progress and trends of each village, and patrol every two days at least. If you are lazy, you should report to me quickly!"

"Yes, Lord Lidian!" The four responsible pavilion leaders bowed together.

"Also, the collection of summer grain tax must also keep up with it. This year, there is not enough manpower, so let the grain collection team work hard, don't delay!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the four pavilion leaders left, Chen Xu sat down on a simple cold couch made of several bamboos to drink herbal tea.

This is an old wooden house, which is considered the office of the town government. In the past, Lidian was an old man in his sixties. He was really old and stupid. He basically followed the old things and did nothing, and did not know how to adapt or innovate. The town's Qiangfu Youjiao and the pavilion chief could only live with him.

Although the Qin Dynasty strictly managed the population, had a household registration system, and had a baojia joint position system. Without permission, you could not leave your land and leave your home, and you were not allowed to destroy your land. You also had a lot of contempt for doing business, but after Chen Xu came here, he found that apart from the recruitment of civil servants, he did not feel harsh as the later generations said. One of the important reasons was that the transportation was inconvenient.

The huge Qin Empire, except for the poor, bitter and cold lands in Xinjiang and Tibet, are not within the territory. The prosperous and prosperous lands in the four major basins of Liaohe River, Yangtze River, Huanghuai River and Pearl River are almost all included, but the population is no more than 20 million. It is definitely a large area and sparsely populated people. If you scatter it, you will not find people. There are primitive wilderness everywhere. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to think of leaving a village, let alone go far away, the poorer you will be unable to get out.

For rich people or businessmen who are rich riding horses and riding on horseback, they do not need to consider household registration. As long as they do not kill and robbery, they will never be able to deal with them. This is the same as in the future, and rich people are superior to others.

For example, Chen Xu stayed in the county town for a day, and the soldiers standing guard at the city gate were basically a decoration for those who rode horses, carriages, or even drove cattle in and out. They would not even yawn at all. Even if they were wearing a little better and neatly, they would not care. The people who were often scolded and beaten were all the poorest and most beggars. These people may be fugitives, refugees or slaves, and were questioned the most. In fact, they were basically poor local people who went to the city to buy and sell something.

In other words, the Qin Dynasty's laws were indeed strict, but like later generations, the emperor was still far away. The leaders of the town and the villagers below were also good, and everyone was happy. You can go to the service, pay taxes, don't kill people, steal or set fire, and no one will find trouble. You must know that it is not easy for cadres to go out. It takes most of the day to go back and forth in a village. When sitting on the horse, you can get stuck. Occasionally, some villagers make trouble or other incidents. If you can compromise, compromise, appease, comfort, and intimidate. If you can intimidate, you can keep a low profile. It is the same as later generations. You must never let things go big and make trouble into the ears of superiors. Generally, those who make trouble will definitely be punished, and officials will also have to bear responsibility, so no one wants to cause trouble for themselves.

In this era, the strict laws were actually limited to relatively prosperous places, and there were some poor and remote places where Qin had unified China.

Chen Xu sat in the room, tidying up his thoughts while drinking tea.

After several days of understanding, Lidian is nominally the largest official in the town. What he wants to do looks complicated and needs to take care of everything, but in fact, there are only two main things: the first is to collect taxes, and the second is to implement the corvee service order issued by the county magistrate. As long as these two things are done well, Lidian can basically be safe and stable. This is also the reason why the foolish and elderly man from his ex-boyfriend has been entrusted by himself for so many years.

The first is that it is indeed old-fashioned, and the second is that the leader has changed.

When Jiangbeiting became the county magistrate, he naturally had to change a group of people he liked. It happened that Chen Xu was the one he liked because he gave him such a big surprise as soon as he took office.

The samples of the threshing machine have been sent to the county town. I believe they will definitely receive the county magistrate's commendation, and Jiangbeiting will also add a large amount of political achievements. Not only will there be such talents who are proficient in the design of the organs under their rule, but more importantly, it will make summer grain harvest faster. It is indeed a major initiative that benefits the country and the people. I believe that if the threshing machine is sent to Xianyang, all the civil and military officials in the court will be alarmed.

Therefore, Chen Xu is a rare investment target for Jiangbeiting. It doesn’t matter if he is young. If he trains himself, he will become a proud assistant to the Jiang clan in the future.

Now is the time to harvest summer grain, so naturally summer grain tax is the top priority and there must be no sloppy.

Jiang Beiting repeatedly reminded him several times about this matter. The summer grain must be handed over a lot of grains on time. As for whether the people below had food or whether they would starve to death, they would be under the jurisdiction of Lidian, not the county magistrate. The county magistrate was only responsible to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was only responsible to Xianyang, and then the grain tax was collected layer by layer before entering the warehouse. Other orders would be crushed layer by layer. Those who could not complete the task were also the grassroots officials and servants of Lidian and Tingchang Village. At the level of the county magistrate, there were few people who were beheaded, and there were people above them. As long as it was not rebellion or dynasty, it would be no big problem to keep their lives.

Qinghe Town is just a small town with a population of less than 3,000. There are no officials only available in two regular towns, namely order and masculine. Therefore, only officials are set up according to the local area. Therefore, the Lidian is the largest official, and the pavilion chief has all the same, and they are all under his overall management. As long as the summer grain tax is settled this time, there will be nothing to do in the next few months, and then you can slowly do something you want to do.
