The Taoist temples that came to Jinniuling were already filled with disaster victims who were willing to go to Lingao. [Full text reading] This Taoism was finally applied for by Pirate Quanzi. During the wave of acceptance at the end of the security war in Qiongbei, the New Taoism and the Lingao Church launched a competition for local religious facilities. In the office of He Ying, who serves as the religious affairs officer, Dai E and Dean Wu started a fierce battle. As the county with the most temples and Taoist temples, Qiongshan has naturally become the focus of competition between the two sides.
After some bargaining, Daoist Dai lived up to his expectations and won most of the religious facilities for the New Taoism. Although this Taoist temple on Jinniuling is in disrepair, its scale is considered to be magnificent in the entire Qiongzhou. Zhang Daozhang adheres to the principle of "occupying land first and then building", and the principle of occupying such religious facilities is that the more the better.
"...Our central task is, first, to arrest people, and second, to seize territory." Zhang Yingchen instructed in a letter to Dai E, "Taoist temples are the center of communication. Without a fighting fortress, there is no way to seize the land." Arouse the enthusiasm to fight.”
Now, a young Taoist boy from the Taoist training class of the New Taoism has been stationed in the Taoist temple. He is wearing the standard Taoist robe designed by the Taoist priest himself: Tang style Hufu with narrow sleeves and lapels on the right side, and the uniform is sewn on the right arm. He wore a red Qian Gua armband. Looking after you at the door. He was caught off guard by the large number of refugees arriving at once. There is actually nothing in the Taoist temple. Due to the shortage of funds, only a few houses were repaired as dormitories and office spaces, and a few crumbling temples were briefly reinforced.
Now these dilapidated houses, which are barely holding on, are filled with refugees preparing to go to Lingao to work. Staff sent by the county are maintaining order. Of course, the main role is played by the troops of the 1st Infantry Battalion stationed in Qiongshan. The company's clerk is registering the roster one by one so that sufficient camps, food and clothing can be prepared at the height. According to the plan, most of these refugees will be used in various infrastructure construction sites and agricultural production fields in Lingao.
Due to the influence of that successful MLM performance, almost all the propertyless tenants waiting for relief in the county were willing to go to Linggao to make a living. Many people are also supporting the elderly and children in preparing to move their families. But the situation on the porridge reached the ears of the big players extremely quickly, and the reaction of the big players was much faster than Yang Yun, who was in charge of this matter, expected. Before the statistical work was completed, the big business owners came to stop people with the deeds signed by the tenants and the receipts written by the poor farmers when they borrowed debts and owed rent. There is no concept of "going out to work to pay off debts" in this time and space, and besides their physical strength, these debtors have nothing to deduct their value from.
Therefore, it is impossible for these creditors to let these laborers leave the county easily, which is equivalent to evading debts. In the past, they could have sent a piece of paper and asked Lingao County to detain the people and continue to sell their labor to repay the debts and complete the contract; but now they It no longer has such great prestige.
Of course, the big households know what it means to lose their tenants. First, this year's rent has been completely wiped out. Despite the typhoon and floods, the tenants can still grow food for the next season. Even if they can't collect the rent, they can get a 20% discount. If you get some, you will have nothing if the tenants run away, and even the rent arrears accumulated over the years will be written off in one fell swoop. Moreover, many refugees had borrowed a lot of money from usury in the past to survive the famine and spring farming. Now that they have gone to Lingao, they will definitely not be able to repay the money.
In desperation, the big families sent their stewards and servants one after another, and some even went out in person to stop people at the porridge.
Liu Xiang thought of this when he heard Yang Yun introduce the action plan. While he was still setting up pots and lighting a fire in the porridge shed, he had already asked someone to call the security commissioner of Qiongshan County Office - now Qiong The Shan County Police Department has not yet been formally established and brought naturalized police officers to the Jinniuling Taoist Temple to maintain order.
They also sent people to pick up the elders in charge of Delong Qiongshan Branch and Qiongshan County Court to deal with the problem.
But I didn't expect that the big players would act so quickly and the backlash would be so violent. In the entire Taoist temple, there were some quarreling, some kneeling down and crying, some scolding, some choking on the rice balls... Naturalized policemen and soldiers ． The soldiers worked hard to maintain order, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Xiang had to go up to the stage in person. In a hurry, there was no electric loudspeaker here, so he had to get a big tin speaker. Shocked the scene with the "rich high note" that he had developed using Kara in the old time and space.
"What's the fuss about? You think this is Caishikou!"
Although other people sing out of tune, and Liu Xiang never sings in tune, Liu Xiang's voice is indeed loud and deep. In addition, although his belly has been reduced a lot, it can still block his sight as a resonance box. This sudden roar makes The scene suddenly became quiet.
The aborigines didn't know what Caishikou was, but they could tell that the Australian was angry. Everyone was stunned, not daring to argue anymore.
When the naturalized policemen saw this good opportunity, they immediately showed their presence and separated several people who were tied together around them.
"Refugees go to the right to register first. Others wait at the gate of the Taoist temple!" Liu Xiang waved his hand and drew a line in the air. "This is a refugee camp. No one is allowed to come in!"
"Qingtian Da... that...... Mr. Zhang," a man dressed as a manager said bravely, "We can't let them go. They still owe a lot of debt to our master!" This The steward clapped an oil-paper bag in his hand and shouted "Quiet", which caused the stewards from several other wealthy families to express their approval.
"Master, if you take them away, our whole family will have no choice but to hang themselves." A small landowner cried, his robe was covered with mud, "Last year's rent was not paid in full..."
"This group of unruly people, Sir, please look at this. These are the sweet knots written by our Lord's households last year, the year before, and the year before that. Until now, they haven't paid a single grain." Another steward waved a stack of ledgers indignantly. , "Now I'm running away again! What a real troublemaker!"
"Chief, this is Wang Sansheng's family who borrowed a debt, and he didn't even say that he would use his daughter to pay off the debt! Now he's running away! What's the matter? If you want to leave, you can just stay here to pay off the debt!"
"Repaying secondary debts is a matter of course!"
Liu Xiang was dizzy when suddenly the crowd was separated, and an old man with a white beard came in. He seemed to be a scholar like a landlord. He said tremblingly: "Master... long... from ancient times to the present. Wealth comes from grain, grain comes from leasing, and all grain households in the world are the foundation of the imperial court. I must not destroy my own foundation by imitating others' kindness..." He became excited as he spoke, " Students who have read history books are the ancestors of the Song Dynasty. There is no such example of famine relief and disaster relief, so please be wise.
He thought that since the Australians claimed to be descendants of the Song Dynasty, it would be a big killer to promote the methods of the Song Dynasty.
"They just registered to express their willingness to go, and they are not taking them away now! The county has already made plans for the debts and rent arrears you mentioned, and the cadres who are handling them are on their way here. You go to the door first and wait. Don't mess around here! Everyone get out first!" Liu Xiang said with a dissatisfied expression.
Seeing that the Australian county magistrate had become really angry, this group of people did not dare to cause trouble. They also thought that these mud bastards were in the Taoist temple and they were guarding the door. They did not expect them to slip out from under their noses, so they They retreated noisily to a place where they could get shelter from the rain at the gate. A few girls were so slow that they had to huddle under the eaves.
Seeing that order was gradually restored, the two elders in charge of court and bank affairs also arrived. They were actually in Qiongshan County on a business trip and had no formal appointments. In fact, the veteran cadres in Qiongshan County, except for Liu Xiang, are all on business trips. Their tasks are to set up teams and provide training and guidance. When the naturalized cadres are generally capable of doing their jobs, they will move to another place. The one planned by Delong Bank Chen Ce from the office went to Qiongshan to set up a local branch of Delong - since Qiongshan is a county in Quanzhou, Delong planned to build a Qiongzhou branch here, and then set up branches or offices in each county. The Qiongzhou branch is also located in the administrative branch, with only three offices and one warehouse.
The elder sent by the legal community was Ji Xin. In addition to serving as the president of the court, he also had the task of building the local elementary school.
Liu Xiang held a small meeting in a dilapidated house in the Taoist temple. He first explained the situation and then came up with a plan on this issue.
"The situation is clear. These tenants are directly dragged to Lingao. They don't dare to say anything, but the impact is not good." Liu Xiang concluded: "The big households are not aware of the real danger yet. They just instinctively protect themselves." debts can be secured."
"I agree with the plan just mentioned. If the amount does not exceed my authority, I can approve a fund." Chen Ce reiterated the condition of "not within my authority", "But I doubt whether they are willing to accept our circulation coupons? Just At present, Qiongshan's circulation notes are not creditworthy enough, and many people are doubtful. As for directly using silver or grain to repay debts, I'm afraid the reserves are not enough."
"Then I'm ready to accept this lawsuit. After a few days of heavy rain, I finally have some work to do." Ji Xin said calmly, "I can take some measures to cancel these debts or reduce the amount. It’s not difficult either.”
The wealthy gentry bullied the tenants, most of whom were illiterate and did not understand the relationship between the above terms. The contracts, IOUs and settlements they signed were all "overlord clauses". Ji Xin had long wanted to take the opportunity to combat such unhealthy tendencies. The spirit of contract must be It is based on relative openness.
"Is there a problem? The big players don't think that we are using power to rob, right? I'm afraid people are unconvinced." Chen Ce was a little worried, as he was instinctively sensitive in this regard. ! .
