Chapter 79: Yun Zhao's first political performance
When putting disaster relief and disaster relief in the hands of others, you may be worried and feel that there are so many clues and nowhere to start.
It is not difficult to put it in Yun Zhao’s hands.
A long time ago, Yun Zhao made no less than ten copies of this strategy to deal with sudden disasters, and each time he made it took more than two months.
Even so, this is still supported by a large amount of information left by our predecessors.
Text, video, ppt, and dynamic plans are something that Yun Zhao is familiar with and cannot be familiar with anymore.
Among them, military control is an option for facing the harshest environment.
All means of production must be publicly owned, and all manpower and material resources must be mobilized to deal with the disaster ahead.
Only by working together, being tightly organized, predicting in advance, and making careful arrangements can we amplify the existing power and ultimately achieve the goal of defeating the famine.
When natural disasters strike, the most taboo thing is internal strife. Once internal strife develops, natural disasters will add to the chaos, and the people will have no way to survive.
Fortunately, the Yun family has a good reputation in Lantian County, and the Yun family bandits also have a strong enough deterrent force in Lantian County. Now, Yun Zhao has obtained official recognition of the right to rule.
Yun Zhao himself has the capital to mobilize the people to fight against God!
There are only three months left before spring sowing. Yun Zhao must organize water conservancy, build enough ponds, and build enough waterwheels, oranges, and pumps before spring sowing... After all, Drought is the urgent need now.
Overnight, notices stamped with the magistrate’s seal of Lantian County were plastered all over the world, and the people of Lantian County immediately learned that they had an eight-year-old magistrate. master.
I heard that the county magistrate wanted to confiscate the food from everyone’s homes, so everyone in the huge Lantian County was in danger.
Basically, except for the Yun family, the rest of the Lantian people thought that this was a new way of exploiting the people thought up by the eight-year-old magistrate.
Wherever this decree arrived, the local cooking smoke was immediately cut off.
Even if he makes a fire to cook, he still chooses to do it in the dark night without the moon...
After reading the land register of Lantian County, Yun Zhao doesn’t care about the thoughts of these ordinary people at all. To be honest, more than 60% of the land in Lantian County is in the hands of large landowners like Yun, and the number of homesteaders is only 40%.
It is these 40% of the farmers who are responsible for the heavy taxes and heavy taxes imposed by the Ming Dynasty every year. In other words, despite the huge land and large population of the Ming Dynasty, in fact only these 40% of the people actually support the country. Home farmer.
Moreover, judging from the records in the field registers, this group of people is still dying out rapidly. Especially after the Year of Apocalypse, the loss of the owner-farmer population has become even more serious.
Therefore, as long as these big landowners are dealt with and construction of water conservancy projects is carried out for the peasants,If there is great benefit, the farmers will of course obey it. The premise is that the government is really preparing to build water conservancy projects and is not deceiving others.
Just when the people in the county were panicking, news like thunder came from Beixiang.
The baby magistrate who was only 18 years old actually had to do it in front of more than 3,000 people in Beixiang, in front of the Shaanxi pacification envoy, Xi'an fellow magistrate, Lantian County academic political student, Su Lao, and the head of the village. In front of the squire and the steward of the sixth house of the county government, Yun's IOUs that had been accumulated for three generations were burned!
From then on, no matter how much money the families in Beixiang owed the Yun family in food, they no longer had any debts after the IOUs were burned.
The people in the city may not know much about burning IOUs, but the squires deeply understand that the basis for a big family to establish a foothold in the countryside is not the fields and money, but these IOUs.
It is because of these IOUs that the Yun family can naturally become the ruler of Beixiang!
It is with these IOUs that Yun can order anyone who owes his family money and food to do things without any scruples.
If the Yun family were more vicious and used IOUs to force farmers who owed debts to sell their children and daughters, it would be logical to destroy their houses.
Compared to other places, Lantian County only suffered from disasters for three years. In these three years, countless farmers went bankrupt. Who didn't borrow some money and food from Yun's to tide over the difficulties?
As for the tenants and long-term workers, they worked hard for the Yun family for a year and encountered disasters. At the end of the year, not only did they have no income, but they owed the Yun family a lot of money and food.
Although the Yun family has never paid any debts, the amount of debt accumulated every year must be clearly written in black and white, and the fingerprints must be pressed...
These things are the foundation of the Yun family. The roots!
Nowadays, these six boxes, totaling 12,126 IOUs, are piled up in Yun's barn, which is a spectacular sight!
Hong Chengchou picked out a piece of yellowed paper from it, glanced at it and said to Yun Zhao: "This is the IOU for Emperor Shenzong's second year. Isn't the person who lent your family sixty coins dead long ago? "
Yun Zhao coughed and said: "Father's debt must be paid!"
Hong Chengchou looked at the IOU again and shook his head: "One cent is fair."< /p>
Yun Zhaodao: "The Yun family has always been a generous family!"
"This IOU is calculated based on sixty years of interest. If the interest is compounded, how much should your family pay? "
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "I don't know, selling all the people in their family won't be enough to pay back the interest."
Hong Chengchou smiled and dusted off the IOU. : "A single IOU can determine the life or death of a family. No, after sixty years of population growth, there should be more than one family. Don't you feel it's a pity?
This is what your Yun family can do in Beixiang. The basics of holding the power of life and death, taking and taking away!"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "If you don't destroy it, you can't establish it!
After the Yun family, there should be a new way of living. The ancestors lived in Lan step by stepTianxian has lived for hundreds of years and has only achieved this little family fortune. I feel that I should have greater achievements in the future.
Hong Chengchou sighed, looked at the timid squires in Dongxiang, Nanxiang, and Xixiang and threw the IOU on the pile of old papers and said: "This boy is really ashamed to kill all the men in the world!"
Okay! You do your job happily!
I also give you a promise: as long as you really follow your plan, no matter what happens in Lantian County, you can say that it is approved by me.
In the future, even if you go to the Jinluan Palace or enter the Dali Temple, you can still say this! "
When Yun Zhao heard this, he waved his hand, and Qian Shaoshao quickly brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Yun Zhaosu invited Hong Chengchou with his hand and said: "Establish a written evidence! "
Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yun Zhao looking at him without blinking, he happily took up a pen and recorded what he just said on paper. He also wrote two copies in one breath, and He used his private seal and official seal.
Yun Zhao put away one copy, showed the other to the earth-colored squires, and said softly: "Everyone has seen it, this time. The Yun family is determined to fight the famine to the end.
I, the Yun Clan, have already destroyed our family and are in trouble. I don’t ask you to be like the Yun Clan, but I only ask that you risk your life for your own benefit.
I previously said that all grain should be collected for public use, but this is obviously not possible. I have checked that although the harvest in Lantian County last year was not the best in history, it was still a bumper year.
This time, in order to provide disaster relief, the Yun family gave out 5,000 shi of grain, so there should be no problem for the three superiors to give 3,000 shi of grain, right? ”
After listening to Yun Zhao’s words, the Liu family from Dongxiang, the He family from Nanxiang, and Zhang Tianxiong from Xixiang all had earth-colored faces.
Yun Zhao then said to the remaining squires from Zhonghu: "The grain collection this time is not for corruption. Every grain of grain will be used for disaster relief and disaster reduction, and will be eaten by the victims. Finally, it will become a traffic corridor, water conservancy ditch, and pond in Lantian County. , turned into a waterwheel orange.
The food eaten by the victims will become newly cultivated land and new crops!
As long as we survive the famine this time, as long as the Qinling Mountains are still there, and as long as spring water continues to flow from this mountain, our Lantian County will no longer have hungry people everywhere.
The people here are all folks from our home county. If they all starve to death, without their protection, what will happen no matter how much food we have in hand?
Aside from attracting bandits, what other benefits does it have?
On this matter, Yunshi was very open-minded, so Yunshi took out all the food and all the money. An empty Yunshi would not attract bandits to covet him.
If you are unwilling to help your fellow villagers, when the time comes, the Yun family will open up the road to the south and will no longer defend you against thieves from the south.
Maybe you can still get it from thievesCollect some money to buy the way..."
After Yun Zhao finished speaking his reasons and threats, he took the torch from Yun Fu and threw it into the pile of old papers in full view of everyone.
The flames licked the paper, and the paper was quickly ignited, turned black, curled, and finally turned into ashes.
When the flames were burning most vigorously, Yun Zhao turned around again and faced the onlookers. The villagers, officials, and squires roared angrily in a childish voice: "You all see clearly that from today on, you no longer owe the Yun family money and food, but! You owe the Yun family a favor, a huge favor!
It is very simple to repay this favor - that is - this year, I want you all to obey my command, and we have to fight against God! We want to live! ”
