"Ping Guo Gong, who is the magistrate of Pingshun County, is the person in charge here!"
A somewhat thin old man walked out with his arms folded.
The other party was quite old, which allowed Tang Ping to suppress some of his anger.
However, he still walked to a bed, lifted up a quilt and said, "Winter is coming soon. Is it going to snow here in the winter? Do you want them to cover it at night?"
As he spoke, Tang Ping shook the quilt in his hand. It was so thin that it couldn't contain any cotton, because the cotton hadn't even been grown yet.
You can tell by pinching it with your hands that it's probably stuffed with some rags or the like. The bedding is clean, but the question is, can this thing keep you warm?
Tang Ping had prepared thick clothes for those who came. Do you want them to sleep without taking off their clothes at night?
And even if you don't take off your clothes, you should know that it is much colder at night than during the day.
"Mr. Pingguo, can you please allow me to come?"
"Okay, tell me, Mr. Lu Guogong told me that everything has been arranged here!" Tang Ping now wondered if someone was lining his own pockets at this level.
The magistrate of Pingshun County seemed to have read through Tang Ping's thoughts and took out a form from his arms.
"Please see, Duke Ping, this is an allocation from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, of which 10% is used for the repair of these houses, 20% is used for purchasing various supplies, and 70% is for their food and clothing until next year's harvest. The above expenses are accurate. Down to every penny.”
Tang Ping is also doing business himself. Although Wang Qingluan and Lu Yi are in charge of many of them, he knows the prices of goods in Datang.
The flow of funds on this list is very clear, and even where it was purchased from and when it was purchased are clearly marked.
The prices of many items are still lower than the market retail price.
Of course there is still money left, but people have also said that this is for food and clothing until next year, and it is mainly used to buy food for them.
"That's it?" There was nothing wrong with the accounts, but the money seemed a little short in Tang Ping's opinion.
"Ping Guo Gong, this is what I want to say. This standard is a unified standard. If you give too much here, plus your original identity, if this matter spreads, I am afraid there will be trouble. "
After saying this, Tang Ping understood that in order to prepare for war, the Ministry of Civil Affairs would naturally recruit some civilian forces, and other civilian forces recruited would be based on this standard. The people in Tang Ping were originally from Beiyan. If they are given too high treatment now, then if other people who have been mobilized know about this in the future, it is likely to cause public resentment.
No, it's not very possible, it's certain.
There is a saying that we should not worry about scarcity but worry about inequality. Especially if the people of Northern Yan are given higher treatment and the people of Tang Dynasty are given lower treatment, then the public resentment is certain.
Just when Tang Ping was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, the county magistrate said again: "So Duke Lu specifically told the subordinates that Duke Ping brought people here. If Duke Ping wants to improve their treatment, it's you. Even if people find out about Duke Ping's affairs in the future, they can only say with envy that they followed the right person, Duke Ping!"
Good guy, Cheng Zhijie, an old guy, what does it mean to be cunning?
This is called a cunning old man!
Tang Ping felt that he had been involved in court and officialdom in the past few years, but he didn't expect to be tricked.
No wonder that old man started to persuade himself to send people over in person as soon as he asked for them.
He had calculated that he would get angry when he saw the conditions here, so he was waiting for him here!
The old man was also sure that he would not let the people who followed him suffer, so he would definitely pay for it himself!
It's like one of your own people comes to work, and you have to advance money!
Tang Ping himself was so angry that he laughed. Didn't he just trick your family Cheng Chumo into leaving for two years? This old guy is seeking revenge, absolutely, one hundred percent!
But even if he knew it, Tang Ping had nothing to do. This was a conspiracy!
Pointing at the county magistrate, Tang Ping couldn't blame him. This was the clerk below who was following orders.
He had to do whatever the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Mr. Cheng said!
And this person can be considered a capable official, at least the accounts are kept clearly.
"Take someone to rest and go shopping in Luoyang tomorrow!" Tang Ping was able to say such a thing.
Anyway, the weather is not that cold yet, so we can still deal with it.
Tang Ping got up early the next morning, mainly because he had to find his bed and didn't sleep well.
We walked around this specially designed planting base.
The terrain here is really good, a relatively closed area with water sources and a small village.
There are not many people. At that time, the people in this village will mainly be responsible for the daily life and logistics of these cotton farmers. There will also be a team of Tang troops with an unknown number of people arranged around.
Tang Ping also made a special trip to the small village. The people there were all drafted civilian husbands. Indeed, as Liu Xiancheng said, the living standards were exactly the same as those brought by Tang Ping.
Then Liu County Cheng will also live here for most of the year.
"Pingguo Gong!"
Liu Xiancheng didn't expect that Tang Ping would come to his place. He was holding a bowl of soup cake in his hand and planned to put it down.
"It's okay, you can eat yours!"
After saying that, Tang Ping entered his room. When he went in, he saw that even his accommodation conditions were the same. Although he didn't know if it was just for show, at least on the surface, there was no difference at all.
"Gong Lu Guo said that Xiaguan will live and eat with them during this period until the crops are harvested next year!"
"Okay, you and I go to Luoyang City to buy things!"
What they eat is not too important. There are no additives in this era. As long as it is not spoiled food, it can give them enough food and enough strength to work.
The main thing is to buy things to keep warm in winter.
After driving with Liu County Cheng, Tang Ping drove to Luoyang.
"Ping Guo Gong... doesn't bring any money?" Liu County Cheng asked curiously.
Tang Ping's pickup truck had all the contents removed from the back compartment. It was obvious at a glance that there was no place to put money in the cab.
You must know that this is buying things for more than 10,000 people, and the expenses are absolutely inevitable.
"How did I know that I would buy so many things when I came out this time?" Tang Ping said angrily: "Then...that Mr. Lu Guogong has tricked me, can't you tell?"
Even if Tang Ping was rich in the Tang Dynasty, he did not have a bank card in this era, and the Datang coins issued by himself had not yet begun to circulate in Luoyang. It was impossible for him to fill his car with gold or copper coins every time he went out. ?
"Then, how are we going to purchase supplies?" Liu Xiancheng said, "I have to keep my money to buy food. I can't misappropriate it to you first!"
"Don't worry, I don't need your money. Guild Lu is nothing, so I can't do it?"
"Empty hands... set on a white wolf?"
