Soul echo

Chapter 661 Planning
"After we go back, we will introduce a law that does not allow female babies to be drowned. If found, one-third of their property will be confiscated directly."

On the way back to Fucheng, Zhong Ye said to the officials beside him expressionlessly: "If their family property only has one cow, kill that cow and take a third of it; if their family property only has one house, Then tear down that house and take a third of it."

The officials all felt Zhong Ye's ruthlessness, but if they didn't do this, those unruly people would 'not understand' - even if they did understand, they would pretend that they didn't understand anything.

Although he didn't express it directly, everyone could feel that Zhong Ye was quite angry now.

They just saw the phenomenon of drowning a baby girl in a village, and those people still did it in front of them, and they didn't think it was anything to be ashamed of.

Zhong Ye directly snatched the baby girl from those people. At this moment, those people were unwilling again. It seemed that it was right for them to drown the baby girl, and others couldn't adopt it.

The officials didn't have time to persuade them, so Zhong Ye beat up those people.

Because the lungs were flooded with water and the brain was short of oxygen just after birth, the baby girl was now held in Zhong Ye's arms.

Using his zhenqi, Zhong Ye kept rubbing the baby girl's acupuncture points and meridians to help her recover, but at the same time he was blaming himself.

——He clearly knew that this phenomenon existed in Dongtu in this era, but he failed to remember it early.

It has been a month since he took over Jingzhou, how many similar things happened in this month?
Thinking of this, Zhong Ye felt as if his chest was filled with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.

Accompanying Zhong Ye, who was full of anger, for a while, the officials heard Zhong Ye say: "After returning, count the number of chickens, ducks, and geese in Jingzhou Mansion, and then pay for a third of them. I will do it." Several breeding farms, and then prepare to formulate a rule - if a family has a child, it will send a pair of chickens or ducks, visit once every three months, if the child in the family is sold or drowned, the chickens and ducks will be taken back, If the chickens and ducks have been eaten, the property corresponding to the chickens and ducks will be taken from their homes.

"Afterwards, every time the child grows a year old, a hen will be sent to their family. When the child is five years old, the chicken and duck will no longer be taken back, and they will completely become the property of their family."

Hearing this, the expressions of the officials suddenly changed, and they hurriedly shouted: "No! Mr. Zhong can't!"

They also want to reduce taxes and provide benefits. How can their Jingzhou's finances support it?

But Zhong Ye didn't listen to their advice at all, and said seriously: "Do as I say!"

His voice became a little harsher, and those officials did not dare to speak anymore.

Zhong Ye had a reputation for viciousness, and no one in Jingzhou dared to refute his words.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye is not a self-willed person, he is good at listening to other people's opinions, but sometimes he is too emotional, and persuading him after a while may have some effect, but if he persuades him now, he will most likely be scolded.

After getting along with Zhong Ye for a month, the officials have basically figured out Zhong Ye's character. After all, he is always talkative, and he doesn't shy away from his shortcomings and shortcomings, and he is quite gentle when getting along with him in daily life.

The officials brought out by Zhong Ye were all aborigines, and there were no players. If they were players, they would immediately understand what Zhong Ye wanted to do.

Centralized livestock breeding, disease prevention and control are more convenient, and feeding costs are lower. Coupled with the land collected from those executed landlords, they may be able to engage in biological control to avoid locust plagues.

The financial aspect is not a problem at all, because Zhong Ye only plans to buy one-third of the total number of chickens, ducks and geese in Jingzhou Mansion this time, and also plans to establish several breeding farms.

Certainly several breeding farms cannot be built in Jingzhou Prefecture, and breeding farms can also be built around several counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou Prefecture.

Since those counties are going to build farms, they will naturally have to share the financial aspect, so finance is not a problem.

Zhong Ye is now the acting magistrate of Jingzhou, nominally all counties in Jingzhou Prefecture are under his jurisdiction, but before that, he has never extended his hand to other counties.

The emperor didn't mention this matter, and Zhong Ye himself didn't intend to pay attention to it, but after he found out about the drowning of the baby girl, he felt that he couldn't sit idly by.

At least within his reach, this kind of thing must not happen!
Zhong Ye and his party returned to the Jingzhou prefecture. Before they entered the city, they were greeted by common people.

The things that Zhong Ye and the others have done these past few days have spread throughout the Jingzhou prefecture, and the common people know Zhong Ye's benevolence. What is Yama, it is clearly a 'Bodhisattva'.

Have the officials ever seen such a battle?
Listening to the words of praise from the common people, they were first flattered, and then they felt ecstatic and filled with joy.

Until they returned to the yamen, they couldn't recover from that feeling, as if the voice of praise was still echoing in their ears.

Back at the yamen, the first thing Zhong Ye did was to find a woman who worked as a clerk in the yamen, "Sister Ran, help find a nanny for this little guy."

Before the woman could ask, Zhong Ye told what happened to the child.

After listening, the woman looked at the infant child with a little more pity in her eyes.

"Okay! The concubine will go right away, lest the child be hungry and have nothing to eat."

After saying that, the woman left the yamen.

Zhong Ye assigned the tasks, and then returned to his office with the baby girl.

The documents processed by Dai Lila were all placed on the table, Zhong Ye flipped through them, and at the same time contacted the emperor with a talisman, and explained to the emperor his idea of ​​wanting to take the entire Jingzhou Mansion into his hands.

【ha!I was just about to ask you when you plan to 'recover' Jingzhou Mansion! 】

The emperor on the other side of the talisman seemed to be going crazy with joy, and laughed: [Zhong Ye, listen carefully, the three counties of Shishou, Zhijiang, and Jianli in Jingzhou Prefecture are the territories of aristocratic families, belonging to the Zhou family, For the Li family and the Chidai family, most of the county magistrates in the world are appointed by the official department. Although they need to be approved by the emperor, the county magistrates of the three counties are not approved by me, but by the former emperor. The aristocratic family is in the same boat. 】

[Since you killed the Jingzhou government until the blood flowed like a river, the magistrates of the three counties have gotten closer to the family. The Zhou family and the Qiandai family have been implicated in the bloody tribe, and the Li family is even more powerful. It is said that There is an ancestor in their family who prolongs life through blood food, but this is a rumor in the world, I don’t know if it is true, but if it is true, guess what——"blood food"? 】

After hearing these words, Zhong Ye fell into silence.

what else?If there is no accident, it is very likely to be a human being!
"Is there any evidence?" Zhong Ye looked at the talisman and said coldly, "If there is evidence, give it to me."

[There is evidence for what the Zhou family and the Chiyo family did. I will send someone to send it to you later, but the Li family does not have it. If you have time, you can ask the players to investigate. 】

Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly remembered something, and his tone suddenly became serious: [By the way, you have to be careful, there is a plague in the area near Huguang near Bashu, not only the plague, but also refugees, be careful Some. 】

plague?refugees?
Zhong Ye frowned deeply, why is there a plague at this time?

[Now there is a plague, if you don't manage it well, there is no guarantee that the officials in the court will use this incident to impeach you. 】The emperor sighed, 【The only thing I can do now is to let some imperial doctors from Bianliang go to support Huguang, but Huguang is so big, there are not many imperial doctors who can distribute it to Jingzhou...】

"...No! No need!"

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, "Now is the time to activate the players!"

【What's the meaning? ] The emperor was puzzled.

"Players need soul fragments to upgrade, and soul fragments can only be obtained by killing monsters. I have experienced so many battles in the Westland before, and I have stored a lot of soul fragments. I can let players get souls by issuing tasks. Debris." Zhong Ye said seriously, "Compared to the aborigines, players are more suitable to participate in this matter, because they can know whether they are infected with the plague through the 'status bar', as long as they can isolate the infected players, they can effectively prevent the plague from spreading. stop the spread of the plague.

"And compared to people in this world, players have a better and more comprehensive understanding of the plague, and know how to prevent and control the plague. If it is not enough, they can also ask for advice online.

"At the same time, many players have reached the fifth or sixth level, and their bodies are far stronger than most people. Even if they are infected with the plague, they can rely on their physique to survive.

"To sum up, the cost and efficiency of mobilizing players are far higher than mobilizing natives!"

Zhong Ye raised his head and looked at the sky outside the door, "It's time for players to contribute to this world, and let the gods see the rewards of the "Echo of Soul" project..."

As soon as the words fell, Delilah walked over quickly.

Before entering the door, she said anxiously: "Mr. Zhong, a group of refugees are coming to Jingzhou, and they may be carrying the plague!"

Really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Zhong Ye nodded calmly, "Go and inform the others, get ready!"
