This good phenomenon gave Lin Yuanqiu greater confidence in the successful completion of this matter.
Now that the relocation decision has been made, the next step is to make various arrangements.
Ping An acted quickly and quickly went to Houya's study room and brought over all the dozen or so house plans he had drawn last night.
Yongning Prefecture has a total of 68 villages under its jurisdiction. It is necessary to post a copy of each village.
Lin Yuanqiu took it, then called a dozen scribes, and after giving each of them a house plan, he ordered, "You should draw seventy copies of each house according to the house style above. Remember, we must do it before tomorrow evening." It needs to be completed, do you understand?”
"Understood!" All the scribes said in unison.
Seeing this, the leader of the Yamen couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Sir, is there any errand that the young men can do?"
Other yamen servants also asked, "Yes, sir, if you have any errands, just give me your instructions, and the boys will definitely complete them successfully!"
"Yes, yes, it will definitely be perfect!"
Yan Tongzhi also didn't want to be idle, "Sir, do you have anything to do as a subordinate?"
"Are there people who are lower-ranking officials?" He Tongpan said that he also wanted to do something.
Lin Yuanqiu nodded, what he wanted was such a positive atmosphere.
He turned around and took another piece of paper from Ping An. On it were the specific details of the big relocation that Lin Yuanqiu had stayed up late last night to write out, including that the allocated homestead could only be one per household, and that the division of households after the notice was issued was not counted. in. In addition, the housing sites in each village will be planned on the same plot of land. This will not only take care of each other when building houses, but also make management easier in the future.
Lin Yuanqiu handed the detailed rules to Yan Tongzhi and said, "Master Yan, you and Master He will arrange for people to make seventy copies of these detailed rules. Then we will post them in every village together with the house style diagram. By the way, there are also Remember to write down the size of the homestead on the notice. Each villager will get three-thirds of the homestead, and each of the orphans and widowers will get one-and-a-half points."
Three thirds of land is equivalent to 200 square meters. This kind of area is enough for a family, even if there are twenty or thirty people.
Yan Tongzhi nodded, "I will definitely live up to my rank."
Although seventy copies sounds like a lot, there are still many scribes in the government office, and one person can copy four or five copies and finish the work quickly.
Lin Yuanqiu couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the cadres in the hall eagerly waiting to assign jobs. He cleared his throat and said, "Take advantage of your free time today and tomorrow to understand all the details of the relocation. Wait until the time comes." In the days to come, I will send you to each village to post relocation notices. If there are any villagers who don’t understand, please let me know one by one."
Hearing the word "trouble", the officials were a little flattered and felt that Master Lin was too approachable.
Before all the officials had finished being "intoxicated", they heard the Lord Zhizhou at the top say solemnly, "You must be patient and careful, and you must not cause trouble in the village, you know!"
All the officials bowed hurriedly, "Young men, you understand!"
…
After breakfast the next day, Lin Yuanqiu and his party went to Dinghu County next door.
Yongning City and Dinghu County are not far apart. If you ride a horse, you can get there in less than half an hour. However, before arriving at Dinghu County, Lin Yuanqiu and the others passed by Tuzi Gorge. Wang Yongqing informed them that this is where the Shanrong people came.
The so-called Bald Gorge is actually not bald.
Lin Yuanqiu saw that whether it was this mountain or several surrounding ones, there were many trees growing on it. If we really talk about the bald place, I'm afraid the only one is the big rock wall on the top of the mountain.
Because climbing over the mountains is equivalent to leaving the border, and because they are afraid of encountering mountain warriors, few people usually go up these mountains.
There were fewer people walking, so there was naturally no way to go. Looking from here, Lin Yuanqiu did not see a mountain road that could be walked, and he did not know where those Shanrong people came from. Anyway, looking from here, apart from the tall trees, there are only thorns and bushes on the mountain.
Compared with the twos and threes of pedestrians coming and going in Yongning City, the city gate in Dinghu County is much more lively.
When he arrived at the city gate, Lin Yuanqiu saw many carriages loaded with luggage coming out of the city.
Looking at several of the carriages, there were many men, women, and children sitting on them. Combined with the luggage on the carriage in front, Lin Yuanqiu was sure that these people should be moving.
Just like when he arrived in Yongning City before, Lin Yuanqiu was not in a hurry to go to the county government office. After he asked the guards to wait at the city gate, Lin Yuanqiu and everyone went to the busiest street in the city.
Hedong Street is full of people coming and going, and it looks lively.
What conflicts with the pedestrians coming and going is that there are several closed shops on both sides of the street.
Looking at the door panel, there is a notice for sale or leasing.
Lin Sanzhu saw that several stores were in really good locations. He really couldn't understand that such a good store was actually being sold.
Lin Yuanqiu was also very puzzled, so after coming to the county government, he quickly asked about the reason.
Wang Xiancheng had long been looking forward to the new county magistrate coming to take office, so when he saw Lin Zhixian, he was naturally happy.
But when Xinzhi County asked about the sales of many shops on the street, Wang Xian Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "Master Zhixian, since the accident in Duzhi County, many wealthy families in the city have moved away from Dinghu with their families. County, they all went to live in Shizhou Mansion, and the shops on the street belong to them."
Lin Yuanqiu understood that the wealthy people in the city were frightened by the death of the former magistrate.
In the eyes of the people, this is the county magistrate. Who would have thought that the head of a county would die unexpectedly, so ordinary people like them should be careful and stay away from this terrible place as soon as possible.
When Lin Yuanqiu returned home from Dinghu County, it was almost midnight. After dinner, Lin Yuanqiu went to the study room, preparing to record everything he learned from Wang County Cheng today.
Lin Yuanqiu felt that only by understanding the situation in Dinghu County in detail could he determine whether Dinghu County should follow Yongning Prefecture and implement the decision of large-scale relocation.
If it is feasible, Lin Yuanqiu has even thought of the name of the plan, and it will be called "Small County, Big City".
…
Chapter 193 Implementation
It was not until the end of Youshi that Lin Yuanqiu sorted out the information on Dinghu County.
It's said to be data, but it actually refers to population and the area of the entire Dinghu County.
Worried that there would be discrepancies in the data mentioned by Wang County Cheng, Lin Yuanqiu went to the main register to check the specific numbers. He found that the difference was not big, especially the number of people in several large villages. There was basically no difference. It can be seen that Wang County Cheng usually I'm quite concerned about official duties.
Finally, Lin Yuanqiu summarized the information he compiled. Then it was discovered that although the number of villages under the jurisdiction of Dinghu County was more than that of Yongning Prefecture, the population was much smaller. And the number of people in the city is a thousand more than that of Yong Ningcheng. Calculated in this way, the total population of Dinghu County is more than 27,000.
Looking at the area of the county seat, it is more than thirty miles square. With such a size, if planned well, it will definitely not be a problem to accommodate all the villagers.
At this time, Lin Yuanqiu was thinking about whether he should open a workshop in the county. As the magistrate of Dinghu County, I must have the obligation to lead the people to get rich. What's more, they have the entire Dajing Dynasty market. As long as the embroidery and handicrafts in their workshops are good, they will not worry about lack of sales.
As for making persimmons, not to mention, there are also many persimmon trees in Dinghu County.
Today, Lin Yuanqiu specifically asked several county government officials, and the answer he received was that they would plant several trees of this fruit in front of and behind every house in the countryside. Every year when the fruits are ripe, the villagers will also pick them to sell in the city, but most of them keep them for home consumption. After all, there are too many persimmon fruits to sell at a high price, and it takes a lot of effort to pick them.
The sky was getting dark, and Lin Yuanqiu knew that it was almost midnight.
After Ping An lit the oil lamp, Lin Yuanqiu asked him to go down and rest early. He must have been very tired after running around with him these past few days. He was still under his age, so don't tire yourself out.
At this moment, Lin Yuanqiu had forgotten that he was only a few years older than Ping An.
However, Lin Yuanqiu forgot to feel sorry for himself, but Lin Sanzhu, a father, would not forget it. After seeing the moving details on today's large piece of paper, Lin Sanzhu knew that his dog must not have slept much last night, so before going to bed, Lin Sanzhu specially went to the front yard to see if his son had rested. We will wait and see. As expected, the light was still on in the study, so I quickly entered the study.
Lin Yuanqiu looked up and saw his father. Lin Yuanqiu was surprised, "Dad, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Sanzhu rolled his eyes and said, "You still know it's late, Yuanqiu, we can't become a big fat man with one bite. Dad knows you are busy with work, but you don't want to sleep."
And Lin Yuanqiu, at the moment, was still thinking about the eye roll his father just gave him, because he thought of the scene where his mother rolled her eyes at his father. The expression and movements were exactly the same. Sure enough, genes cannot be faked, who gave birth to her? Who is the baby like?
"Dad, you look so much like Nai."
Lin Sanzhu didn't expect his son to suddenly say something like this, "What's weird about this? Dad was born from your breasts, so of course he looks like him. Just like a dog, you are my father's son, so don't you look like him?" .”
Lin Sanzhu felt that the most proud thing in his life was probably giving birth to his precious son Gouzi.
Lin Yuanqiu and his father have always had a lot to talk about, and he also likes to discuss things with his father. Thinking of the issue he had just considered, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what do you think our family would like to open a workshop in Dinghu County? "
Also open a workshop?
When Lin Sanzhu heard this, he said excitedly, "Is it also a persimmon cake workshop and an embroidery workshop?"
Lin Sanzhu was very keen on making money.
Lin Yuanqiu nodded, "Yes, our family is used to doing these two things, and we will definitely not lose money if we do them."
"Dad, I think this will work. No matter if we open one workshop or two workshops, our persimmon cake recipe will definitely not be kept secret. Let's do it before it spreads to other places. This way we can make more money." When you have money in hand, you won’t feel the loss.”
It is said that one family does not know what is going on in the family. To outsiders, the Lin family has a big house and a large courtyard, but compared to the other official families nearby, their family is not as good as a star.
It's not that Lin Sanzhu wants to compare with others, but that this kind of money-making opportunity is so rare, why doesn't he take advantage of it?
It's not an exaggeration to say it's rare. Not only is the mountain high and the emperor is far away, but there are so many persimmon trees by chance, as if God had specially arranged it for their family.
As for the rest, Lin Sanzhu and Lin Yuanqiu had the same idea. As long as they acted upright and did not cheat, accept bribes, or exploit the people, there would be nothing to worry about.
What's more, it is allowed to open a workshop in the name of a female family member.
Thinking of the female family members, Lin Sanzhu quickly remembered another thing, "Yuan Qiu, what are your plans for Dinghu County? Are you also preparing for a big move?"
Well, Lin Yuanqiu nodded, "My son has done some rough calculations just now. It is feasible to let all the villagers live in Dinghu City."
Lin Sanzhu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that it was feasible, "Yuan Qiu, dad suddenly thought of something today. You see, since people from the countryside are moving into the county, it can be seen that the shops in Dinghu County will become prosperous sooner or later. Dad thought, why not let your mother, your aunt and sister-in-law buy a few houses, and then whether they rent them out to collect rent, or sell them when the price doubles, they can make a lot of money. . Dad has made inquiries today, and in some shops you can buy it for seven to eighty taels of silver. I think your mother and the others have saved up this money."
Lin Yuanqiu had to admire his father's smart mind. His father was not the only one who went to Dinghu County with him today, and none of them, including himself, thought of this.
As his father said, there are many shops in the city that have been sold off by wealthy households, and it is the cheapest time to buy them.
And when the villagers all move to the city and the population increases, business will definitely become easier, and the prices of these shops will definitely double. Anyway, they are bound to make money.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqiu couldn't help but give Lin Sanzhu a thumbs up, "Dad, you are much smarter than my son."
Suddenly being praised by his son, Lin Sanzhu's eyes immediately became a line of joy, "Of course, otherwise, how could dad have given birth to a smart baby like you, Gouzi?"
"By the way, there is also your father-in-law." Lin Sanzhu patted his head, "Father, go over and ask him now. Ask him if he has brought any money this time. If so, dad will also ask your father-in-law to buy a shop. If If he didn’t bring it, let’s take the silver and give it to him first.”
After that, Lin Sanzhu turned around and walked out, but he didn't go very far before he turned back again, then poked his head into the room, and said with a bluster, "Remember to rest early!"
…
The next day, just after breakfast, Lin Yuanqiu went to Qianya. Today was the day to send people to various villages to post notices, so he had to arrange things early.
When he arrived at the front office, Lin Yuanqiu saw that not only Yan Tongzhi and He Tongpan, but also all the scribes and yamen servants, and even the horsemen and lampmen were coming over.
Looking at the faces of everyone, they were all beaming with joy, as if they were catching a pie falling from the sky.
Especially those government officials who live in the countryside have been digesting the big move for two days, but looking at them now, they still grin from the corners of their mouths to their ears.
Hey, can you be unhappy? Who doesn’t want to live in the city and have a house in the city?
The officials were certain that if Lord Zhizhou hadn't repeatedly told them to keep it a secret, they would have run home long ago to tell their parents, wives, children, and the villagers about the great news.
There are a total of sixty-eight villages under the jurisdiction of Yongning Prefecture, and we will definitely not be able to inform them all today. Lin Yuan will have less than half of them until tomorrow at the autumnal equinox.
He didn't waste any time, and quickly divided the people present into twenty-three teams, each with one clerk and two yamen.
Lin Yuanqiu then assigned each team the task of two villages, and also stipulated that after posting the notice, they must carefully answer the villagers' inquiries.
Finally, Lin Yuanqiu said, "Remember to inform the villagers and ask them to come to the government office on the tenth day of next month."
As for what the Li Zheng people would do here, of course they would draw lots to divide the plots.
