Feng Juan's concerns are certainly justified.
Li Dao If there is no way to go on land, we will take the river route. It is not surprising to have sneak attacks everywhere.
If his field of vision had reached Qiachuan Pier, he could immediately put down the ship model to clean up the pirate fleet, but now his field of vision was still a little short, which was quite embarrassing.
We still have to save the people of Heyang County quickly!
As long as most of the people in Heyang County feel happy and hand over the "Salvation Index", won't they be able to see Qiachuan Pier in their sights?
"Yiye, tell Thirty-Two that our village will immediately fully support the disaster relief in Heyang County, fully support it! Let Heyang County start a work-for-relief program immediately, and at the same time, I will immediately go to Heyang County to provide rain.
Gao Yiye quietly relayed Li Daoxuan's decree in Thirty-Two's ears.
Thirty-two cheered up: "Mr. Feng, we have discussed the relief of Heyang County last time. Without further delay, let's start immediately. However, you should also know that if you win favor with rice, you will fight against rice with hatred. It is not a good thing for us to directly give food to the people in Heyang County, so... we need to give it to them in the form of wages."
Feng Juan nodded: "That's very good. Mr. Bai also talked with me last time. Let's just build two roads.
One goes directly from Quangou Village to Heyang County, and the other goes from here, which is Gaojia Village, to Yang Village... I will organize a large number of migrant workers to build these two roads, and the relief food you give will be in the form of wages. distributed to migrant workers. I thought about it carefully, and if I gave the workers half a full meal every day, they would be happy at work. "
Thirty-Two smiled and shook his head: "How can I have the strength to work when I'm half full? I have to eat completely! And I have to pay additional wages. The wages of three kilograms of flour per day must be paid in full."
Feng Juan: "Ah?
When he first heard about the "relief for work" program, he thought it was just like giving porridge to the people, allowing the workers to work so they could barely eat. Who knew that Gaojiacun actually said that they would be fully fed? Giving out three kilograms of flour as wages every day is too...
It’s beyond expectations!
Feng Juan's nosebleed suddenly flowed down. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and the nosebleed actually formed two curved arcs on his face, as if he was smiling.
Feng Juan: "Is this serious?
Thirty-two: "[Absolutely true]."
Feng Juan was overjoyed: "That's great."
Bai Yuan also stood up: "Once the work-for-relief job opportunity is proposed, all young and middle-aged men will want to participate in the work, which will cause the disbandment of the militia in your county, but Wang Jiayin's fleet may attack at any time. He When we come here, if your militiamen are digging the ground to build roads, then Heyang County will be in danger."
When Feng Juan heard this, his face turned ugly again: "Really? What should we do? I can't order the militia not to build roads. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. There is no need to wait for the bandits to come. , the militia will have to rebel first.”
Bai Yuan smiled: "So your militia has to re-examine its organizational methods."
Feng Juan: "?"
Bai Yuan said: "Just pay wages to the militia and let them concentrate on their promising career as a militia and go to other jobs. The wages of this militia will also be paid by our Gaojiacun, ensuring their The road workers are taller, so they can be safe from thieves.”
When Feng Juncu heard this, he thought this was a good plan.
But when he thought about it more carefully, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The nosebleed suddenly came out again. He stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face. The nosebleed curved downwards, making his expression a little weird. He said in a deep voice: "What if?" Migrant workers, that's all, but the militia group is supported by your Gaojia Village paying wages. I always feel like something is wrong?
Bai Yuan spread her hands: "Mr. Feng, you are overthinking. Aren't the militia groups raised by wealthy gentry households from all over the country? They are not raised by the government in the first place. Even if we in Gaojiacun don't pay for them, they will be raised by someone." Zhang Yuanwai, Li Yuanwai, Wang Yuanwai, and Zheng Yuanwai are all spending money to support them...could anything bad happen from this?"
After hearing this, Feng Juan seemed to feel that it made sense.
It feels wrong to think to the left, but it makes sense to think to the right.
Thinking about it, my head got stuck.
In fact, although the militia is a little different from the servants, the difference is not very big. It is a "civilian army" supported by the gentry with their own financial resources. It is not much different from the mercenary in nature. Who gives it money? Just listen to whoever says it.
If it fell into the hands of ordinary squires, it would be an important force in protecting the place.
If it falls into the hands of someone who is determined to rebel and cause trouble, it will be no different from a rogue bandit.
Feng Juan thought carefully: There are many wealthy gentry households in Heyang County now, and they support several militia groups. Not long ago, they relied on them to kill the remnants of Fanshanyue. Even if Gaojia Village harbors evil intentions, they cannot get rid of those gentry groups. We just snatched the militia from our hands, right?
If you want to raise a militia, just do it. At worst, you can compete with the local squires in Heyang for financial resources, and it won't pose much of a threat.
It seems that I don’t really need to worry about this aspect.
In short, Shaanxi is in chaos right now, and the court is indifferent. I can only find a way to save myself. Even if I resort to extraordinary measures, it is only natural.
After he figured it out, he stopped worrying about it.
"Okay, let's do it!
Feng Juan, the county magistrate, nodded, and things were easy to handle.
Gao Yiye smiled and said: "Now that the road construction matter has been settled, there is only one last thing left. Let's start a new practice in Gaojia Village and ask the Dragon King to bring rain to Heyang County. The farmers have also received some benefits.”
As soon as she said these words, Feng Juan was confused: "How to open an altar? Ask the Dragon King for rain? What is this? If you want to play the tricks of a cult, I will not agree.
Of course, this was what Li Daoxuan deliberately wanted Gao Yiye to say.
He could have taken the same approach as he did to conquer the common people in Chengcheng County, first using villains to infiltrate, and then sending out Taoist priests, three ladies, religious men and women, etc., to lay the groundwork for all kinds of chaos, and finally manifest his spirit to conquer all the people.
But this is a bit slow!
Wang Jiayin's fleet will arrive at any time. Li Daoxuan is eager to see Qiachuan Pier and reach out into the Yellow River. This time he is not so calm, so he might as well be rough and follow the path of a magic stick.
Gao Yiye smiled: "Master Feng, don't worry, we are not a cult. Master Ma Tianzheng of Quanzhen Longmen Sect is in our village. We only need to ask Master Ma to go to Heyang County to open a forum." This way, we can ask the Dragon King to send rain. Look, our village has not suffered from drought because the Dragon King has sent rain."
