...Jiangzhong sparrow Bihuang is too small. This Liulingao is a small and poor county with a small population and no obvious name. [No pop-up novel website] There is no strong support from Zhu Shen. These stately government agencies, which relied on local financial support, did not exist for many years before gradually falling into disuse. The majestic government offices also fell into disrepair. Except for Confucianism, the institutions that the county must maintain still exist, but others have long been empty. The Grain Collection Bureau occupies the Daohui Department, which has the most magnificent building among them. In this original official Taoist management department of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention Taoist priests, even the statues and sacred cases no longer exist. It seemed very desolate.
Dude liked the style of the official office here. Compared with other government offices, the gate tower and main hall here were larger, so that there would be enough office space for future expansion of the institution. Then Lingao Construction Company was asked to renovate and renovate it on the spot. It became the Yamen of the Grain Collection Bureau.
Although it is a yamen of the Ming Dynasty, the work is done in a realistic manner. Behind the horseshoe-shaped wooden counter are the first batch of graduates from the taxation class of the national school. Others such as one-meter noodles. Are there also railings for queuing? And there is a stricter order system here than in another time and space. Several government officials who were retained after being reviewed and screened by the study class fiercely carried whips to maintain order in the queue.
There are many people who take the initiative to declare, but there are also many who are reluctant.
In their view, the ultimate goal of clearing land must be to tax all land. Although many grain farmers may not be able to spread or send crops secretly, it is easy to conceal the number of acres.
But the threat from the Australians is also clear: failure to declare or register when due. Or if the declaration is incorrect, all unregistered land will be confiscated and returned to the public. No one doubts that Australians can do it.
The Time Travel Group uses the modern "violent propaganda" model to remind people everywhere: Go declare it quickly! Tintin launches a massive publicity campaign. Every three days, a propaganda team would go to the countryside to promote the land declaration by beating gongs and drums. Colorful notices and drawings of people's names on the posters were plastered all over the villages.
The posters produced by Zhou Dongtian's printing factory lack genuine woodblock printing. The woodblock New Year picture craftsmen painstakingly copied the patterns designed by the Propaganda Department onto wooden boards, and then overprinted them with several colors. Ineffective. But the cost is cheap and suitable for use as promotional posters. The most shocking one is a man wearing a Feiyu suit with a sinister face pointing at your nose, with a line underneath: "Did you declare it honestly?"
This kind of noisy, highly offensive propaganda was something the common people had never seen before. On weekdays, a strange propaganda team came to the village where no outsiders came, except for the grain collectors who collected food in autumn and the occasional salesman. Here came a strange propaganda team: men and women in strange clothes. Driving a shed-equipped bullock cart or pushing a beautiful handcart.
As soon as he arrived in the village, the liaison officer beat the gong and gathered the whole village, old and young, to listen to the announcement? The propaganda team leader read out the Grain Recruitment Bureau’s notice on measuring acres and its importance.
After he finished speaking, the promotional truck equipped with loudspeakers would play majestic songs that people had never heard over and over again. The impassioned melody breaks the tranquility of the countryside. During the interval of the song, a loud male or female voice shouted slogans:
"Measuring acres of land benefits the country and the people."
"Clearing taxes is a century-old plan!"
“To deceive the Grain Collection Bureau is to deceive the emperor!
"Fighting Qingzhang will lead to death."
“Declare early and reap benefits early!”
The slogans were so loud that they could be heard even outside the village. It made people's ears buzz. These slogans will also be painted on the walls of the village. Under the oxcart were people seconded from the army and the national school, each carrying notices, paste buckets, brushes and ink buckets, painting slogans and posting notices all over the walls. Even the walls of the pigsty were not spared. Soldiers from the Army armed with rifles and county magistrates armed with sticks surrounded them like wolves and tigers, reminding the people that the threats in these slogans were by no means empty words.
After the policy propaganda team left, the literary and art propaganda team arrived and even talked and sang to promote the Qingzhang Tianmu. Clarify the benefits of taxes. There are not many cultural activities in the countryside. A monk who sings Xuanjuan can gather a large group of people to listen. After the performance, a kind of beautiful candy was distributed, transparent candy cubes, colorful. Not to mention children, even adults are tempted by this fruit candy produced by a food factory.
The indiscriminate propaganda campaign has had a great effect. Originally, the government was just a distant and vague existence, but now. It is by your side all the time, sometimes as a propaganda team, sometimes as notices and slogans all over the wall. It reminds you endlessly every day what you should do, and implicitly threatens you with what will happen if you don’t do it. Its effect is quite significant. of.
Under such constant and repeated beatings, more and more people took the initiative to declare. Some small and medium-sized landowners and grain farmers know that there is no chance of survival if they continue to delay, and those who understand current affairs are heroes, so it is better to report obediently. After Fu Buer hesitated for a few days, he finally took the field deed to declare it. Before going out. His wife didn't try to stop him by rolling around on the ground like Zhou Qixiu, but just stood there in a daze, showing a look of bewilderment.
Fu Buer, who was originally dissatisfied with his wife's wordiness, felt a little pity for her, but his heart softened a little when he thought that this woman had always been doing it for his family business.
"Don't worry, the Australians are nice to us," Fu Buer said confidently. "We won't suffer a loss."
Is this the case? He is not very confident. However, the help from the Tiandihui and the recent new measures to pay for food gave Fu Buer a lot of trust in the Australians. He believes that Australians will not do anything that harms the people.
Fu Buer just carried the land deed, dry food and water on his back and went to the county town to register with many people in the village. When passing Fu Yousan's gate, the old man looked at them like a wise man looking at a fool:
"Go ahead, go ahead, and throw yourself into the trap one by one." Fu Yousan muttered to himself as he had expected everything on his face.
His eldest son Fu Yizhuang is not so confident:
"Dad! The village has done a great job in reporting this matter."
"Let them go, let's not move
"But the Australians will go to the countryside when they come here. We have so much land, we can't hide it from them." As he spoke, he timidly looked at the big slogan painted on the opposite wall: "Fighting Qingzhang will lead to death. That "death"". It was also painted extremely huge, almost taking up one wall.
"You're so scared!" Fu Yousan suddenly lost his temper, "I don't believe that Australians are all gods." As he spoke, he paused hard on the cane and Xiao Fu Yi Zhuang shivered in fright, thinking that his father was going to beat him with the cane again.
Fu Yousan's confidence certainly didn't come in vain. The land with three Fu families is the most in Meiyang Village. A large part of them is hidden in a hilly valley near the village. Although the terrain is not dangerous, it is far away from the village and the main road. The forest is dense and the grass is deep, and the path is complicated, making it difficult for ordinary people to find. Fu Yousan built a village there specifically for his youngest son to live and farm with several trusted villagers and their children. Even someone like Chen Mingwang, who knew the land situation in the county very well, only knew that three of Fu You's families had hidden land, but they still had no idea how much or where it was located. Just use this to extort some money and use it.
"Zhuangzi's piece of land, which originally had no land deed, Fu Yizhuang whispered, "It doesn't matter if you declare it or not. But there are things around the village that cannot be hidden from anyone, so you have to be willing to go there.
Fu Yousan put on a religious face: "Exchange the land deed? If the Australians leave, wouldn't it be a piece of waste paper?"
"The new land deed is still from the government, and the grain collection bureau is handled by Mr. Wu from the county." Fu Yizhuang explained.
Even though Fu Yousan was the head of the Fu family, the largest family in Meiyang Village, and the richest man in the village, he looked like he was looked down upon by no one. He would make sarcastic comments about everyone he met to show his wisdom as an old man, but he was most afraid of officials, even if a county official came to the village. Fu Yousan would be so frightened that he would hide and not dare to see each other. Just ask my nephew to deal with it.
I heard that the grain collection bureau is run by the county government. It's Wu Ya, the "second in command in the county," who is in charge again. Fu Yousan's originally determined expression suddenly became panicked.
"Ding, you traitor!" he scolded, "I didn't tell you this earlier!" As he said this, he gave Fu Yizhuang a walking stick.
"How many days have the notices been posted in this village?" Fu Yizhuang said with grievance after receiving a slap in the face.
"How dare you say that!" So Fu Yizhuang received another stick. "Quickly, bring me a copy of the notice!"
A blackboard was erected in a large office of the Grain Collection Bureau. There is a progress chart posted on it. All registered villages in the county have paper slips posted on it. Next to it are small paper flags of different colors according to the progress. Write the latest progress figures.
Du De updated this schedule every day in front of the blackboard based on the latest data sent in. Once the Grain Recruitment Bureau's office was repaired, the leadership team moved here from Zhang Youfu's village, so that they could control the land clearing matters nearby. .
On the blackboard, there are only a few little red flags indicating 100% completion, and most of them are only halfway through.
"The progress has begun to slow down. Doude took a look at the weekly comparison chart just drawn next to him. Compared with last week, the increase rate this week is lower than that of the previous weeks. After the large-scale publicity offensive began, the number of self-declarations has increased a lot. It has increased rapidly. However, in the past week, the growth rate has begun to decline significantly. This shows that the effect of publicity is fading.
He called Ding Ding:
"The effect of publicity is fading. You have to use your brain more to see if there are any new means of publicity.
"I understand, but there are too few promotional trucks. Can you allocate a few more? Especially the loudspeakers above.
ech is off. ! ~!
