It has been ten days since the Red Feather Messenger set off. It is estimated that Chang'an has received the news a long time ago. I don't know how frightened Li Yuan and King Qin will be. Is there a huge quarrel in the court...
Hey, who would have thought that the plague in Hanzhong City would come sooner or later! Do you have to wait until Xiao Han sets off with three-season rice?
But in this case, Changan will definitely respond quickly and send any powerful doctor over! When the time comes to brainstorm, maybe we can actually come up with a way to solve this problem!
Ye Lu told him what he had guessed in his mind, so that he could feel at ease. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiao Han pretended to be relaxed and said: "Now, as long as the condition can be stabilized, it is a great achievement! You go back and tell others that when the plague is completely subsided, it will be a great achievement." It’s time for merit to be rewarded!”
"But……"
"No buts, do your best and we won't forget you!"
Leaving behind these words that made his ears tingle when he heard them in his previous life, Xiao Han dragged Xiao Qi aside and ran towards the kitchen!
"But...that's not what I want to say..." Ye Lu was dumbfounded, watching Xiao Han's figure disappear behind the wooden house, with a look of tears on his face...
"Young boy! Play with me first and then be respectful. You are still young!" Xiao Han ran to the back of a wooden house without stopping. He carefully stretched his head to see Ye Lu stomping his feet a few times before returning to the convoy. He couldn't help but laugh evilly and straightened up. He walked back humming a tune.
Now Xiao Han is no longer the stupid young man who just arrived. This Ye Lu is obviously a guy with a story. When we first met, I could see that this man was aloof and arrogant. Now he was deliberately trying to flatter me. If he said that he didn't ask for anything, I wouldn't even believe it!
"Hey, one more thing is worse than one less thing..."
Xiao Han hummed a little tune and shook his head as he entered the kitchen. There is nothing wrong in the world, let me disturb myself! How can smart people like us deal with this kind of trouble by ourselves?
Xiao Hancong is not smart, and the cook doesn't know. But it’s true that there are not many marquis like him who love to go to the kitchen. But fortunately, now he only goes into the kitchen to take a look or give some guidance, and he can't do anything.
There is no other way, the only person here who is qualified to cook for him is Ren Qing, and this guy still can't stand the fact that he is idle and not doing his job. The only way to cook for him is for Ren Qing to eat and talk at the same time! Xiao Han wouldn't do such a heartless thing.
You can't cook here, and you can't go out to play. The only thing left seems to be to help with the work. But there is a lesson from heaven! In my two lifetimes, this is the first time I have seen rice! Where can these jobs be done?
Besides, Xiao Han was frightened when he looked at the murky water in the field. Who knew if there were water snakes and leeches under the invisible water surface? Being bitten by one of those things makes me terrified just thinking about it!
The Sui and Tang Dynasties were all based on farming, and everyone seemed to know how to fiddle with crops. According to those in charge of agricultural supervision, even emperors and queens had to take their civil and military ministers to plow the land for a day during spring plowing to show how much they valued farming.
Of course, Xiao Han thinks that this kind of abandonment of national affairs is a waste of time. Switching to farming is just a waste of time!
If there is a specialization in the art, the emperor should think about who to beat today and who to draw tomorrow!
Ministers should follow the emperor and help him come up with a good idea or a bad idea!
And for a laid-back prince like himself, it would be great if he could instruct others to complete their tasks. Only fools would do it themselves...
Time flies by and the sun goes down in a blink of an eye. People who had been working in the fields for a day came back one after another, washed their hands and faces in the clean sink, and went outside the kitchen to wait for the meal.
Washing hands is a mandatory requirement of Xiao Han. If you don’t wash your hands, you will have no food. This is a hard and fast rule! Xiao Han really doesn't want a plague to happen in his area, so hygiene issues must be taken seriously!
After the continuous replenishment of personnel in the past few days, there are now forty or fifty people here in Shuitian, and there is always a big crowd every time we eat! There were only a few long tables where people could barely sit down. Excluding half of the guards among these people, the rest are all good farmers sent by Yuan Dake.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, three types of taxes were used: rent, tax, and tax, as long as they were registered. You need to pay for food, cloth, and twenty days of free labor every year! Of course, those who have soldiers in their families who are on military expeditions are also exempt from taxes. This is also the fundamental reason why the military was so popular during the Sui and Tang Dynasties!
If a member of the family becomes a soldier and fights in the war, not only will the family no longer have to pay taxes, but they will also get money! The key is that if you are lucky enough to achieve military exploits, you can honor your ancestors. As for those who are unlucky and die in battle, these are not considered. Who doesn't think of the best?
Rent and transfer are all done with money and things, but Yong is like these people now. Just work with all your strength, Xiao Han doesn't even need to pay!
Xiao Han saw these people working hard at the beginning and wanted to pay them some wages, but before he could finish his words, Ren Qing covered his mouth and dragged him behind.
"Xiao Hou, what are you doing?!" Ren Qing shouted at Xiao Han with a black face.
Xiao Han looked confused: "Give me money, what's wrong? As for such a big reaction?"
Ren Qing's face turned even darker: "Are you crazy? Renting mediocrity is the foundation of a country! You set a precedent today and give them money. If someone uses it later, will they give it or not? Listen to me, don't be too outrageous! If If someone puts a label on you that can win people's hearts, what will the emperor think?!"
"But, isn't it natural to pay for work?" Xiao Han wanted to make a few quibbles, but was directly interrupted by Ren Qing.
"Paying taxes is the only right thing to do!"
Ren Qing said this categorically. This taciturn man rarely spoke so many words! It seems that only towards Xiao Han, he would be so sincere.
He bowed his hands to Ren Qinggong to show that he had been taught. Xiao Han has always been grateful for other people's kindness.
"Just wait, tax-free farmers will definitely come true!"
Ren Qing didn't hear clearly what Xiao Han was mumbling. Even if he heard clearly, he would think that Xiao Han was hysterical. Farmers are not taxed? Where are the national assets?
The method of paying wages obviously doesn't work, but how can this stump Xiao Han? There are so many cases of future generations taking advantage of legal loopholes. If you can't handle such a small thing well, how can you be a marquis?
"You, that's you, don't run away! Well, I see you've done a good job, I'll give you the usual reward! Go back and work hard!"
After saying that, Xiao Han waved his sleeves and floated away, leaving behind the stunned migrant workers. Hehe, in this way, no one can say anything wrong. Even Ren Qing could only smile bitterly and shake his head when he saw it, letting Xiao Han do what he did.
People cannot live for ideals! Because you always have to eat and drink on the way to your ideal, and appropriate rewards can stimulate people’s motivation! So ever since Xiao Han asked for rewards from time to time, Ren Qing was surprised to find that the people who came here to work were working faster and better!
Distributing money is just a small phenomenon of Xiao Han's temper in later generations. In addition, he also ordered the kitchen to make up for the food of these people! Three meals a day are even more essential.
