I really don't want to lose the country

The rest is copied by the document and pasted on the wooden board of the bulletin board for common people to read.

There is no notice board outside the city, so it is pasted on the outer wall of the village chief's house in Lizheng.

Soon the new notice in Nancheng County was taken out of the house by the yamen servants, and then posted on the notice board.

Without a word of posting, countless people immediately gathered around.

The person in charge of posting the notice corrected his voice, stood aside and said:

"According to the order of the county magistrate, the notice is posted as follows, Nancheng County intends to use the power of the whole county to build water storage reservoirs and flood control embankments of the two rivers..."

Main text Chapter 196 It is impossible to repair the embankment of the reservoir

"What! Do you want to build the embankment? My dear, how much labor will be conscripted this time!"

"Yes! It's over. As soon as the new county magistrate comes up, he will work hard to repair the embankment!"

"It's hard for us ordinary people, what's the point of repairing those two rivers, they flood every spring, so what's the use of repairing them?"

"That's right, that piece of wasteland, let it be flooded by the flood..."

As soon as they heard that the embankment was going to be repaired, the people who watched the excitement felt their scalps go numb.

His face was bitter and he was in a bad mood.

You must know that whenever the imperial court makes big moves and conscripts labor, most of the people have to do coolies.

And this kind of labor is not only free, but also has to buy dry food by yourself.

Each family has a certain number of days of hard labor each year.

This is stipulated by the law, and if you don't go, you will be dealt with according to the law.

A light fine of money and food, a severe beating and imprisonment.

Originally, after the autumn harvest, there were two directions for general labor.

One is to fight a war, which requires civilian husbands to deliver supplies.

The second is to repair the city.

It is impossible to repair the city every year. If there is a war, the war with the Turks will end early.

He can no longer act as a civilian husband.

So this year is considered a good year, and you can serve less.

As a result, Nancheng County is now newly established, and it is a great achievement to come up.

The people naturally took it for granted, and complained endlessly.

"Cough cough, don't make noise and make trouble." The arrester who read out the notice coughed and said:

"Listen well, the construction of reservoirs and embankments here and now is not forced labor, but voluntary labor. The county magistrate has a law. Anyone who voluntarily goes there will be in charge of food and housing. They will only work for five to six hours a day. If you work for one month, you can get [-] mu of land, if you work for two months, you can get [-] mu of land, for three months, you can get [-] mu of land! After working for four months, you can get [-] mu of farmland!"

Silk!

All around suddenly quiet.

Everyone's eyes widened and they stared straight at the policeman who was talking.

The arrest was made by the guards of Xiaoyao Mansion, who had already seen the strong wind and heavy rain.

He continued with a smile:

"The county magistrate still has a law. Anyone who is a carpenter, mason, or blacksmith can get money, food, and housing subsidies that match their abilities!"

"What? And money, food, and housing subsidies?"

Everyone screamed.

Can't believe it.

"Go voluntarily, not conscript labor! Is there such a good thing?"

"Your Highness the Sixth Highness is benevolent and righteous. Only His Highness the Sixth Highness has such arrogance. He is willing to pity me and other poor people!"

"I have no hope for subsidy or anything. I don't even care about Tian. The main reason is that His Highness is willing to cover food and housing. Just for His Highness, I, Ye Er, did it with him!"

"That's right, we are not afraid of working, nor are we afraid of suffering, as long as we are full, I, Niu Hanhan, will go too!"

"I'll go! I'll go too, count me in!"

Soon, many people patted their chests and expressed their willingness to repair the reservoir and river embankment.

Without it, it is affordable!

In the winter, there is no work to do, so I stay at home and idle, and a strong laborer has to eat up how much stored food.

If you can save this ration, you will earn money.

Food and housing are included in the county, and one of them works for five to six hours, so he is not a harsh person.

So as long as the brain is not stupid to death, people will suddenly become active.

Just in case, the conditions are not good, you can still come back to work, anyway, this is not forced labor.

It is voluntary to build reservoirs and embankments.

In addition, this is a good deed, and it will be a fortune for future generations. Going out in the future will be a fortune, and you can be proud to follow your generation. I am a person who has done great things.

"Excuse me, where did you sign up? I'm the first one to sign up..."

"Don't worry, everyone. From tomorrow onwards, we will set up stores at the south gate exits of each square, and in every pavilion and township outside the city. We will definitely let everyone who wants to go have a chance. Everyone can rest assured that our Nancheng County's finances are very good. This year Only do one big thing, and the money will be used wisely..."

When the surrounding people heard the words, they were relieved and applauded one after another:

"Okay! Great! Nancheng County Wannian! Nancheng County Wannian..."

Word spread quickly.

Hard labor was not collected for repairing the embankment of the reservoir.

This is simply unheard of, unseen.

All of a sudden, the whole of Chang'an was discussing this matter, and all the previous news was covered up at once.

And this is different from the past, the big news in the past was closely related to the common people.
