Chapter 372
After lunch, Qin Feng, Liu Rengui, Ma Zhou, and Du He were processing various documents in the front yard of the Dudu Mansion.This place has become the governor's office, and there are many cases, documents and materials in the hall.At this moment, there are not only a few people in the Dudu's Mansion. Besides them, there are ten other talents selected from poor families. They are in the assessment period. Once they successfully pass the assessment of several giants, they can be in The grassroots under the Shuofang Governor's Mansion took office.

Due to the large number of people returning from the south, Qin Feng and others are not familiar with local affairs, and there is a shortage of manpower, the people returning from the south are now concentrated in one place, and they have not been allocated specific land. At this moment, they are mainly responsible for returning to the south. People resettlement work.

Among these ten people, there is a man named Gao Pei who is quite outstanding. He is knowledgeable, flexible and not pedantic, and he is recognized by Qin, Liu, Ma, Du and others.

Gao Pei was in his thirties and was from the south of the Yangtze River. He used to be the county magistrate in a county in the south of the Yangtze River. After reading Qin Feng's "Frontier Poetry Collection", he was full of romantic feelings and resolutely resigned as the county magistrate. After Shuofang, he abandoned his pen and joined the army and joined the army.

It's a pity that he is a frail scholar who doesn't know how to kill the enemy, so he let the army shut him out.

However, he has the stubbornness of a scholar and the character of never giving up until he reaches his goal.

The first time, the army returned him politely; thinking that he would give up after hitting a wall, but who would have thought that on the second, third, fourth, and fifth day, he would stand guard at the gate of the barracks every morning.

In the end, Qin Feng was alarmed.

In order to reduce the trouble, Qin Feng brought this annoying and lovely scholar back to Dudu's Mansion.Qin Feng talked about everything, poetry, calligraphy, and reasoning. It took him more than an hour to finally convince him. Gao Pei changed his mind. Since we are not made for military service, we should be students instead. ?
So, he stuck to Qin Feng's body again, and insisted on worshiping under Qin Feng's door to learn poetry and calligraphy.Qin Feng wished to give him a few big feet, but his attitude towards learning was very sincere, and he had the spirit of Kong Yingda's apprenticeship at the beginning.Qin Feng was moved by his pursuit of knowledge, but also a little afraid of this stubborn donkey. In desperation, Qin Feng made an agreement with him that as long as he fulfilled his requirements, he would accept him as an apprentice.

In this way, Gao Pei became an official in the governor's mansion in a daze.

Others are also talented but have no opportunities. When they get the opportunity, they cherish it even more, and they work harder.

"Master Governor, I feel that the previous method of mixing and resettling the people returning from the south and the local people is a bit inappropriate." Gao Pei picked up a resettlement diagram and said.

"Oh? Master Gao, what's your opinion?" Ma Zhou asked with a slightly changed expression, because he was the one who made this arrangement.

Gao Pei patiently explained: "The returnees from the south are evenly distributed to the surrounding counties. Although the resettlement work is dismantled, the pressure is not so great. However, the people in the two places live together because they do not trust each other. The local people think that These returnees occupied the water and land that originally belonged to them, so there were many conflicts. Fortunately, the eldest son did not collect taxes in advance, nor did he make the local people serve in corvee. Otherwise, I am afraid that a civil uprising would have been triggered."

"Oh? According to Lord Gao's wishes, how should we arrange it?" Ma Zhou looked a little pale, but still asked "aggressively".

However, Gao Pei talked eloquently: "According to the officials, it is also possible to mix the people from the two places. However, there should be no new villages for the people returning from the south, but they should be resettled on a household basis. The lower officials thought that if the people returning from the south were apportioned according to the method of resettling several households or more than ten households in one village, the resistance would be much smaller, and there would be no fights between the people of the two villages over water sources like in Gusi County."

At this time, another Shuofang local scholar refused to accept: "Brother Gao, if the returnees from the south are apportioned in the form of resettling several households in each village, will the villagers in those villages be willing to accept it? There are suddenly more people in one village. People with surnames outdoors, will they be happy? They will still think that their water source and land have been taken up!"

Gao Pei didn't care.With a slight smile, he continued to explain: "This is the only way to effectively curb the conflicts between the people of the two places! Of course, this plan is not isolated, and there must be certain auxiliary measures, otherwise it will still be nothing."

Gao Pei's words.Qin Feng couldn't help being interested.He also asked: "Brother Gao, if you have any good ideas, please just tell me!"

After Gao Pei bowed to Qin Feng and saluted, Fang explained: "Captain, Xiaoke thinks that the people returning from the south should be scattered to the villages. Since they are a small number, and most of the people in the village are related Under such circumstances, they should not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble, at least reducing the possibility of trouble by half. And in order to make the local people happy to accept these people who have returned from the south to settle in their own villages and live in harmony. We can issue an announcement, It is announced that all villages that accept people returning from the south and treat them well will be able to reduce or exempt taxes. The more households each village accepts, the longer and longer the tax reduction and exemption period will be. In this way, the people in each village will naturally not resist Instead, they will actively cooperate with the people returning from the south to settle in their own villages! With the strong support and cooperation of the people, many unnecessary disputes will be reduced, and the people returning from the south who are alone and unaccompanied will feel that they are fellow villagers. The warmth of a loved one, and besides, it can reduce the troubles of the government office, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

Gao Pei's words made everyone sitting here wake up from a dream.They never expected this move, and they all looked at Gao Pei with admiration.

Qin Feng was even more moved. Li Shimin had previously promised to exempt Shuofang City from taxes for three years. He originally planned to wait until the resettlement work was completed before making an announcement.However, Gao Pei's proposal is to use the tax exemption policy to the limit.His thoughts are meticulous and his mind is flexible, and he probably won't give up much more than Ma Zhou. Qin Feng feels like he has found a treasure.

He immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Okay! Let's do it according to Brother Gao's wishes! You should immediately formulate a detailed rule. How many households in a village accept returning from the south will be exempted for one year, some households will be exempted for two years, and some households will be exempted for three years. And related rewards and punishments..."

Then, Qin Feng got up and glanced at all the officials present and said: "Everyone, if the resettlement work can be completed smoothly, I promise you that those who are willing to stay in Shuofang can become officials of Shuofang. Under my rule, As long as you have talent, as long as you have good moral character, you are not afraid of not being promoted, I hope everyone will work hard to fight for a good future for the people and for you!"

Everyone bowed and saluted, and these people were even more energetic, expressing in unison that they would do their best not to disappoint the governor or the people.Qin Feng didn't promote anyone in government affairs, but he is famous for the way he employs people in the army. He employs people in an eclectic manner, only emphasizing talents and virtues rather than seniority, and there is no sectarianism. This is no secret in Shuofang. Now that Qin Feng has put the words here, as long as Qin Feng is satisfied with the Governor of Qin, they will suddenly become state officials, which is a good thing that they never dreamed of before.Besides, who doesn't know that Qin Feng is the son-in-law and celebrity of the current emperor, if he gets his recommendation, isn't it a chance to reach the sky in one step?

However, they also know that the key is not with Qin Feng, but with themselves.Whether it can win this honor is proved by facts.

Seeing Qin Feng's words, Liu Rengui, Ma Zhou, and Du He aroused everyone's enthusiasm.I also admire Qin Feng's ability to incite people's hearts. They would never be able to do it. Of course, this is also determined by personal status. Qin Feng is the leader of the three states, and his words naturally carry weight be different from others.

****************************
Time flew by in the midst of busyness, Abe Jintu "played" in Shuofang for six days, during which time, Sun Lang and the others had nothing of value to offer, in desperation, Abe Jintu had to leave Shuofang with disappointment, Returned to Chang'an.

Before leaving, he went to Dudu Mansion to meet Qin Feng.

In order to make Abe feel at ease when he entered the soil, Qin Yong deliberately mobilized his internal strength when meeting him, made a tired appearance of "excessive indulgence", and hinted that he was very satisfied with the beauties that Abe paid tribute to.

Abe entered the soil and thought he had a plan, and left contentedly. This was the only harvest he had from this trip.

It's just that he never dreamed that he left Shuofang before he left. Ma Zhou immediately launched an operation against him under the pretext of investigating spies.

In just an hour, the innocent people all returned safely, and the official also gave each person five catties of dried meat as compensation to thank the people for their cooperation.This move by the Dudu Mansion was appreciated by the people. After all, the government did this to ensure the peace of one side. The people are obliged to cooperate for free, and the government also gave away dried meat. This is definitely the only one in the world.

Of course, the people arrested by the Shuofang government were not blind, but targeted. Some people were once suspected of being from the forces of Xieli and Tuli. Now, some people's innocence has been proved, while some people have disappeared forever. out of people's sight.

As for Sun Lang and others, they were also arrested in this operation.It's just that when they returned, their faces were pale and their hands and feet were trembling, because from this moment on, under the control of drugs, they had officially become Mission Impossible.

When Sun Lang and others were arrested, they were enjoying themselves in the brothel. After Abe entered the soil and left, they became free and indulged again.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers pulled them off the bed that they knew that trouble was imminent.

As Ma Zhou said, these people are extremely selfish, and there is no need for interrogation to extort confessions when they enter the torture hall. It is just the majesty accumulated by the government for thousands of years, as well as separate detention and interrogation, which are enough to scare Sun Lang and the others to confide everything. .

Sun Lang and the others were originally a small gang of hooligans near Chang'an, doing illegal activities of bullying men and women.

Just one night when they committed the crime, they were caught by a mysterious man. Just when they were worried about seeing an official, things took a magical turn.Not only did the mysterious man not send them to the big prison, but he also made a deal with them, using gold in exchange for their work.

The trading currency in the Tang Dynasty was Tong Bao, but gold and silver items were always expensive, so they were easy to sell, and it took only a few minutes to exchange them for Tong Bao.

How could Sun Lang and the others not be tempted? From then on, they began to do things for others. Half a year later, they finally knew the true identity of the mysterious person back then—he was Abe Sudo of Yamato Kingdom.Since then, they have become Abe's lackeys working for him.

It's just that from now on, they're two-way spies.However, Ma Zhou also clearly told them that cooperating with the government will make their life easier and more relaxed, and they don't have to risk their lives to spy on the news, because any information that Abe wants, the official They will be provided to the criminal gang headed by Sun Lang.

As for the authenticity of the information, except for the few high-level officials in Shuofang, only God knows.But these were enough for Sun Lang and the others to deal with them.
