Pingyun County.
This is the former tribe of the witch tribe.
The court didn’t know how many times it had sent people to suppress him.
After three consecutive county magistrates met with unexpected deaths within a month.
The imperial court sent many people to conduct a strict investigation and arrested many, many people.
A lot of blood was shed here.
Then a new county magistrate was appointed.
But it's obvious that the people in the court don't want to put much effort into helping the Wu Clan become better.
Usually only demoted county magistrates are arranged here.
He stayed up until his term was up and left immediately.
The court did not believe these locals of the Wu clan.
So officials have always been dispatched.
There are even instructions from above, which is to keep suppressing the Wu clan.
As time goes by.
Those who are already poor here don’t want it anymore.
When Hanzhi came here, he found that the streets here were all made of dirt, and not even the cheapest bluestone was paved.
Hanzhi had thought that Pingyun County was very poor, but he never thought that Pingyun County was so poor.
A woman and two children, about three or four years old, knelt in front of Hanzhi. They were also wearing patched clothes, their little faces were dirty, and they looked very pitiful.
"My Lord County Magistrate, please give us a piece of land for our family to cultivate!"
The middle-aged woman cried: "As long as you can give us some land so that we don't starve to death, we can work as cows or horses, that's fine!"
After hearing what their mother said, the two little boys next to them also followed their mother and kowtowed to Hanzhi and begged.
"Sister, please save my mother and brother!"
"Yes, eldest sister, our family is really on the verge of death. As long as you are willing to help us once, we are willing to work as slaves and horses!"
The two little boys looked at Hanzhi eagerly, their cute looks were so heartbreaking.
Hanzhi sighed, raised his hands, and hugged the two children.
In the unclaimed land of Pingyun County, Hanzhi made people gather all the branches.
Hanzhi is also very poor and has too many people under her hands.
Hanzhi transferred all three thousand guards over, so basically no one in Pingyun County dared to confront her head-on.
Hanzhi said to the woman: "Don't worry, our Pingyun County is mainly suffering from food shortage now. I think most people in Pingyun County grow medicinal materials.
I will definitely not stop you from planting whatever you want on your own land.
But I hope that the current land in Pingyun County can be used to grow food. If the excess grain cannot be sold, there is no need to worry. Our county government will purchase it according to the market price. The current price is two big dollars per pound of grain.
As soon as I took office, I bought it for three big bucks per pound.
Then the streets here need to be renovated. Anyone who comes to do work will be given two meals a day and two big bucks a day.
If you perform well, you can make three big bucks in one day.
If you don’t want to eat in the cafeteria, you can bring your own tableware to eat at home. "
As soon as Hanzhi finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion around him.
Most people still don't believe it. The food now is too precious and it's not the harvest season.
Those grain dealers are very shady.
When there is a good harvest, the price of food becomes very cheap again.
But Hanzhi is actually still willing to recruit workers. The wages for the workers can be paid daily, and most importantly, food is included.
Who doesn't like this kind of treatment?
The woman quickly said excitedly: "Thank you, the magistrate, thank you, the magistrate!"
Hanzhi smiled and said: "Since the imperial court appointed me as the magistrate of Pingyun County, everything I did was as it should be.
Everything I do is for the good of Pingyun County.
Let's build the road first. After the road is built, I will ask the grain merchants in the capital to transport the grain.
I'll open a shop and sell staple food for two big bucks per pound. If you have a better way, you can also open a shop and sell it cheaper than me.
The reason why I opened the store is just to let everyone have a benchmark in mind. Prices cannot be increased casually. All the food in my store will never increase in price.
No matter what happens in the future, there will always be two big bucks.
Other merchants want to open stores in our county. If they don’t sell goods cheaper than my store, no one will buy anything.
If we want the food store in the county to open quickly, we will work hard. "
Hanzhi's words made everyone's hearts surge. Being able to have full stomachs every day was the goal they pursued.
After Hanzhi said that, he asked people to start recruiting workers. As long as they are willing to sign up, they can start working now.
You can get a meal today.
It’s just the New Year and the weather is still a bit cold.
There is not much food for the winter at home.
Basically half of the people are short of food at home.
So everyone started signing up.
The main reason is that Hanzhi has a good reputation. Not only does it provide rice dumplings, but the food in the cafeteria is also very good. There is also braised pork, and each person can get three pieces.
Hanzhi felt very happy when she saw so many people participating enthusiastically.
Hanzhi did not ask people to build the county government immediately, but built roads first.
In terms of food, Hanzhi did not treat everyone badly.
Today is her first day on the job, which is a happy event, so Hanzhi asked someone to make fragrant braised pork.
Everyone smelled the fragrance, ran over one by one, and swarmed to the table.
The guards stood guard.
They didn't dare to grab food and queued up honestly.
Just looking at the fragrant braised pork in the pot, everyone's mouth is watering.
"I didn't expect that I couldn't eat meat during the Chinese New Year, but now I can eat meat by working for the county magistrate."
"Yes! It's great of you, the magistrate. If I can eat one piece of meat like this again every month, I will be satisfied!"
…………
Everyone was lamenting that they thought the county magistrate was so kind.
Hanzhi smiled on the side, and she felt very happy when she saw everyone eating with gusto.
Some people were still hesitant.
Seeing this scene and smelling this fragrant smell.
I couldn't bear it any longer.
They all signed up and started working.
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. After this period of time, Hanzhi has completed the statistics of the entire village.
There are 763 households in the whole village, and the total number of men, women, old and children is more than 5,000.
Everyone started farming after get off work, and they were not idle.
After all, this work is gone once it is done. Only the land is the basis of their lives.
Although tired, it is very fulfilling.
Everyone is very efficient these days, and soon a straight road was built.
Now we are just about to lay a cement road, but because there is no cement, we have to stop the work for the time being.
Hanzhi stood at the intersection in Pingyun County and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling very happy in his heart.
“This road is finally completed, and Pingyun County will no longer have to rely on walking.”
Xiaolian sighed and said.
Xiaolian has been following Hanzhi for a long time.
She hadn't seen Hanzhi show such a happy expression for a long time.
