Four Hundred and Seventeen: Reconstruction of Xiangyang County (1)

The epicenter of this earthquake was near Shangjing, so the losses in Shangjing were the most severe. The entire capital city was reduced to ruins, with lonely souls everywhere.

Xiangyang County is on the edge of Fengyi County, some distance away from the earthquake source.

When the earthquake occurred, the earthquake here was not as strong as in Shangjing, and the losses were not as heavy as in Shangjing.

It’s just that the timing of the earthquake is too annoying. Who doesn’t sleep in the middle of the night?

Therefore, there are still more than ten thousand people on the road to hell in their sleep.

After experiencing the torment of the earthquake and then being destroyed by the Tsing Yi Army, Xiangyang County is now in dire straits and is in urgent need of reconstruction.

If you can look down from a high altitude, you can see that at least one-third of the buildings in this place are in a state of disuse.

Faced with the devastation of Xiangyang County, Jiang Pengji regained her composure and ordered her troops and the Forbidden Army to urgently clean up the ruined buildings.

No matter what, there must always be a place for the people who go to the capital to sleep in the open.

She pinched her brows, thinking of the situation in Xiangyang County, and couldn't help complaining, "This Xiangyang County is no better than Shangjing..."

Feng Jin took a nap and now she has regained some energy.

He said, "When heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions... The words of the sages and saints still make sense. Everything is going well. The beginning is difficult, Xiangyang County is in a mess now, and it will be difficult to rebuild on top of the ruins. But if the master can get over this hurdle, he will soar to the sky."

Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes. She wasn't a Sky Monkey, so why did she go to heaven?

However, Feng Jin's words still made her feel better, and with a wave of her hand, she summoned a few subordinates for a meeting.

She doesn't like to play tricks, and she doesn't like to listen to useless nonsense, so she goes straight to the point and gets to the point.

"After the earthquake and the ravages of the Ninth General's Tsing Yi Army, today's Xiangyang County is destitute and devastated."

Jiang Pengji started, and everyone sat down separately. There was only tea and water in front of the table, so she felt thirsty and moistened her throat.

"Details aside, the main problems we face now are rebuilding Xiangyang County and recruiting troops to strengthen the defense of Xiangyang County. While rebuilding Xiangyang County, we must be prepared to go to war at any time. Prepare. The Tsing Yi Army is much larger than we imagined, not to mention the Red Lotus Sect, which is on the same level as the Tsing Yi Army. These are potential dangers and enemies in Xiangyang County. Now, we can only rely on ourselves." This last sentence is full of resentment.

Everyone agreed.

However, no matter which one it is, it will cost a lot of manpower, material resources and time, but Jiang Pengji is very poor now.

This poverty does not mean that she is short of food or money, what she is short of is people!

Thanks to the generosity of the viewers in the live broadcast room and giving her money, she temporarily trapped the little monster in the system. The popularity points in her hand were enough for her to squander, allowing her to easily support tens of thousands of people. Not to mention how good the food is, at least I won’t starve to death.

As for money?

She had "borrowed" money from so many families in Beijing, and the accumulation was quite considerable, enough for her to survive until this winter.

She added, "Last night, we sent someone to count the captured Tsing Yi soldiers. There were 1,781 in number, 90% of whom were young men between the ages of thirteen and thirty. I also checked the population of Xiangyang County. I checked the information in the county government and found out that there are between 5,000 and 10,000 young people, plus the people who came to Beijing with us... If we let them all join the labor force, I think as long as we make a detailed plan and execute it step by step, we will be able to enter the country. It is not impossible to rebuild Xiangyang County before winter."

Hearing this, Luo Yue frowned and said, "Corvee?"

Feng Jin said leisurely, "My lord should mean paid corvee. The people contribute, and the lord contributes money and food. It can not only ensure the food and clothing of the people, but also rebuild Xiangyang County. The lord is not rich now, and her family property is limited. But as the county magistrate, she , Even if the people do nothing, the Lord cannot let them starve to death. Instead of giving them food, it is better to find something to do. "

Corvee is essentially unpaid physical labor.

Nowadays, the people are living in poverty and have no food to eat. If they are allowed to work for free again, Jiang Pengji's good reputation will be completely ruined. Even if others ask her to do so, she will not commit suicide like this.

In special times, working-for-relief is an excellent method in itself.

She had done this before, so Feng Jin and others did not get it wrong.

Of course, unpaid corvee has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is normal for Luo Yue to misunderstand it.

"Even so... I'm afraid there are not many people willing to respond, especially the local people in Xiangyang County."

Qi Guanrang shook his feather fan, with tiredness on his brows, but his eyes were scorching, and he continued in a slightly sarcastic tone, "They have money and grain reserves at home, and they can still harvest autumn grains after autumn, so there is no shortage of corvee labor." Food given by labor.”

The Tsing Yi Army went on a rampage and confiscated the properties of many wealthy squires. They only had enough to eat after they confiscated the property, and they looked down upon ordinary people at all.

Therefore, people still have grain stored in their homes and have a certain confidence. There is no need to sell their labor, and the possibility of refusing corvee work is very high.

After saying that, Qi Guanrang sneered in a low voice, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

After hearing this, Meng Hun whispered a suggestion, "How about increasing the remuneration?"

Jiang Pengji's eyes were helpless. Was she that rich?

"I am poor, your master, how can I offer so much reward? The house was not built for me, they..." She put her ten fingers together and complained, and suddenly thought of something, and had an idea in her mind, "But it's not that there is no way. There are countless buildings collapsed in Xiangyang County due to the earthquake, and many houses and land are vacant. If there is no family to inherit, according to the law, they must be reclaimed and confiscated..."

After hearing her words, Feng Jin and others showed all their thoughts.

However, someone reacted faster than them!

The audience in the live broadcast room was tired of the pain of buying a house, and they didn't expect that they would be hurt by watching a live broadcast.

[Qu'er]: Shocked! The oldest real estate developer in history turned out to be her!

[Nutrient Express]: If Xiangyang County is thoroughly built up and becomes a safe place to live in troubled times, I think those lands will be expensive.

[Drunk White Snake Soup]: Bah, which gentleman said that houses were cheap in ancient times before, and wanted to travel through ancient times to become a landlady and eat rent while lying down? Look, look, the anchor is going to do real estate, and the price of houses can go up to the sky. Let alone buying a house and becoming a landlady, if you travel back to ancient times, you still have to become a house slave. Damn it!

Jiang Pengji glanced at the barrage and felt quite innocent. She really didn't think so much at the beginning.

Why did she speculate in real estate and land?

She just wanted to build a house on unoccupied land, so that people who participated in corvée labor could move in with low rent, and there would be certain tax reduction benefits in the future, and she could also rent farming equipment and oxen from the county government at a relatively low price... Her idea was very simple.
