At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 219 Jiaoxi Policy
The snow has stopped, and although the sun is quite bright, the temperature is getting lower.

"Erlang, there is a war and chaos outside, don't go out." The blind old woman said.

Liang Erlang lifted the pole and said, "Mom, no matter who is an official, can he still be exempted from the salt tax? If I don't go today, I'm afraid the future will be difficult."

"Hey... I'm sorry for your father..." I couldn't help crying.

Liang Erlang didn't know what to say, so he just opened the door and walked out.

The cold wind was biting and he shivered immediately. He didn't dare to stop anymore and quickened his pace.

They all live on the coast and were not affected by the shelling. However, other families did not dare to go out and kept their doors and windows closed.

Before leaving the village, I saw a group of people approaching, all soldiers wearing helmets.

Liang Erlang was startled and immediately returned home, hurriedly looking for something to block the door.

"Erlang, what's wrong?" My mother also panicked.

"Soldiers are coming." Liang Erlang moved the table behind the door and went to look for other things, but his mother held him back.

"Quick, get under the bed and don't come out no matter what happens." The old woman dragged him inside.

Liang Erlang pushed his mother in turn and said, "Mom, you hide, I'll be fine. The worst is, I'll be drafted into the army."

"Mom is blind. If you die, you will die. You can't die. Go and hide." The old woman was in a panic and there was no doubt about it.

For other families, those who could run ran away last night, and those who had no money, food, or thick clothes couldn't run away even if they wanted to. It was freezing cold outside, and without food or clothing, they were basically certain to die.

Those who drill under the bed, those who hide in the grass, let their fate be their own.

But when the soldiers arrived in the village, they did not break into the house, but shouted: "Master Wang restored Shandong and now hires laborers for thirty cents a day and two meals!"

"Mother?" Liang Erlang was stunned.

"Master Wang has restored Shandong and strictly enforces military discipline, but those who disturb the people will be killed without mercy, so fellow villagers need not panic.

Nowadays, laborers are hired to carry the baggage for thirty cents a day and take care of two meals! "

"Mother~" Liang Erlang turned around and called.

"Don't go, don't go..." I grabbed Liang Erlang and didn't let go.

I'm afraid I'll never come back.

"Mom, there is no food at home. Sooner or later, I have to go out." Liang Erlang wiped away my mother's hand, opened the door and walked out.

There are more than 100 salt households in the village and a population of more than 400. Only three people have walked out of their homes. They are all unable to survive and will starve to death sooner or later if they don't go out to work.

Shrinking closer, Liang Erlang asked: "Master Jun, are you really giving me money to take care of the food?"

"Breakfast and lunch, casual workers pay." Dutou once said.

After calling for a while, no one came out again, so Zeng You took the three of them to the beach.

People can slide down the ladder, but loading and unloading materials is much more troublesome. They have to pass each other hand-to-hand or use a pulley block, which is quite slow.

In fact, there are many of these people, but in order to win over people's hearts, these people are the "trees" that stand up to gain trust, not because they are much better, but because Song Jun will indeed fulfill his promise.

In the city, many people have already walked out of their homes.

Under the protection of a group of soldiers, the new magistrate Zhu Ye shouted: "Because the Tatars stubbornly resisted, the king's division had no choice but to bombard the city, causing damage to buildings and casualties. This was a helpless matter.

If you are unable to repair your house, you can borrow money from the county government, with an annual interest rate of [-]%, and you can repay the loan starting next year, which can be divided into ten installments.

At present, those whose houses are damaged can live in the county government office, and the government guarantees safety. "The older ones immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "Thank you so much, officer, thank you so much, officer." "

"Get up and talk." Zhu Ye asked the soldiers to help him up and said: "You have been missing for more than a hundred years. Don't think that the imperial court will..."

Boom~
An explosion interrupted Zhu Ye's speech. The people were in a commotion and looked around where the explosion came from. However, they couldn't see anything due to the isolation of the houses.

"one two Three……"

With a bang, the door of Chen's house was knocked open, but Song Bing did not rush in, but threw another sky thunder in.

Boom~
"Fight in, and those who don't surrender will die!" Cui Wulang shouted.

The front row raised their shields and the muskets were behind them. After entering the gate and walking around the screen wall, they saw dozens of people running towards the backyard.

咻咻 咻 ~
The crossbowman immediately fired his arrows, killing five or six people.

"Those who kneel down and hold their heads will live, but those who resist stubbornly will die!" Cui Wulang shouted.

I don't know whether they were frightened or emboldened, but two people still ran back and were shot to the ground again.

The Chen family is a powerful local family, and most of the pawns in the county came from his family. After learning about the situation, Cui Wulang was ordered to surrender, but he didn't want the other party not only to not surrender, but to hide behind the wall and shoot arrows.

Although no one was injured, Cui Wulang was still furious and immediately ordered a strong attack. In order to frighten other people, he even used thunder.

Half an hour later, more than 30 people in the Chen family were dead, and the remaining 50 or so people were all driven to the front yard. There were more than ten people in the Chen family, and the rest were servants.

Cui Wulang was very angry.

There were no casualties during the siege, but one person was injured while wiping out a large household. Are you angry?
"Although you are not servants, you are no doubt like slaves. You usually work like cows and horses, but now you are at odds with the imperial court for some benefits. You really don't know whether to live or die! If the imperial court had not come, I would have to kill them all!" Cui Wulang cursed.

"Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life!" The servants kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.

"If you want to survive, there is only one way, and that is to go south and conquer the country overseas." Cui Wulang shouted.

"But it's up to grandpa to make the decision." The servants did not dare to be nagging.

Who let them get carried away by gold?The only thing to blame is that the Chen family is too rich. When Song Jun came to the door, he directly carried out a box of gold bars to buy Ding's life.

After the servants were disposed of, the slaves were released as people on the spot. Because they were all proletarians, they would live in the Chen family for the time being, and some would be divided after the land inventory was completed.

Of course, if you want to marry a bachelor in the military, that is also very welcome.

After dealing with the servants, Cui Wulang looked at the mistress of the Chen family, a Mongolian woman.

"Resisting the celestial master, killing evil in vain, death is not a pity!" Cui Wulang said bitterly: "However, the imperial court has its own laws, and the people in the city report, if you are innocent, you will be released naturally, if you are guilty, you will be liquidated together! "

After saying that, the Chen family was imprisoned in the woodshed. Cui Wulang counted the Chen family's wealth. They found eight thousand shi of grain and thirty thousand guan of money. They were much richer than the county government, and they were all included in the army.

Of course, not all of them are as ignorant of current affairs as the Chen family, and they still pay homage when asked.

It's just that these people need to go through a round of review. Those who commit crimes will still be liquidated, and only those who have no complaints from the people will be appointed.

The clean-up operation in the city is still going on, and supplies have been shipped in from outside the city, starting with salt.

Originally, Yuanting had northwest lake salt, southwest well salt, and coastal sea salt. The price of salt had always been around ten cents. However, since last year, the price of salt has continued to rise and has tripled.

Therefore, the Song army shipped nearly a thousand rock salt with the ship and sold it for eight cents per pound.

In short, the army is entering the city one after another, and winning over the people's hearts is proceeding in an orderly manner.
