I was a fan in ancient times [Transmigration Book]

Regarding Furong County, Han Yi did some homework along the way. The area of ​​Furong County is not small. The area of ​​800 million mu is more than 200 square kilometers in conversion, but the population is only [-].

Even if the area occupied by the upper lake is excluded, there is still a large amount of land left unoccupied, resulting in desolation.

Of course, this may also be caused by the war. After all, this was the battle zone between Qin and Zhao. Many people either fled or died in the war. It is lucky to survive.

So what Han Yi is facing is not only water control, but also basically wasteland reconstruction.

It took Yan Zijian's pains to push him over. The reconstruction of the wasteland is easy to produce results, and even if Han Yi knows nothing, the small population here will naturally not have a big impact.

However, it has a population of 10. Now Han Yi only hates that there is not much information about Furong County at the center, and only some information about grassroots workers was given to him.

But these days the division of responsibilities of grassroots officials is actually very chaotic. Basically, it is the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the master. Don’t even think about this kind of configuration. , As for the salary... that is issued by the county magistrate.

The salary of the county magistrate is also deducted from the tax. Part of the local tax is turned over to the national treasury, and part is used to maintain the operation of the county government.

Before Han Yi came here, he had already figured out that the county was very poor, and the standard tax might not even be able to reach the level. He also thought that the first thing to do was to resume farming and production, and then promote population growth.

But in this way, the first thing to guarantee is the income of the people. Only after they can marry a wife and raise a child will they be so active, otherwise it is just empty talk.

Before Han Yi came here, he asked Yan Zijian for some rights, that is, the right to change the structure of the lower-level official positions. Yan Zijian felt that this little thing would not shake the foundation of the country, so he let him go.

Therefore, Han Yi has his own right to appoint. In order to clarify his responsibilities, he needs to appoint many officials, so that he will pay a lot of salary, but he does not plan to increase taxes. Yes, in addition to the national custom-made standards, the current Localities can also customize their own on this basis, but they can only be added but not subtracted.

After all, if you can't pay the tax that is required to be paid every year, then wait for it to be cleaned up.

In order to make life easier for the people under his rule, Han Yi plans to collect according to the most basic standards of the country. As for the salaries of officials...he pays for it himself!

He calculated his net worth, and felt that it was still affordable to pay these people a few years' salary.

What's more, he still has a task of water control. Yan Zijian handed over the overview to Yan Zheng in terms of water control. That is to say, if Han Yi needs it, he only needs to report to Yan Zheng, and Yan Zheng will naturally approve resources for him.

With his relationship with Yan Zheng, he wasn't worried about being stuck, but he didn't want to tear down the east to make up for the west unless it was absolutely necessary.

What's more, water control is a big project, and he needs to conduct on-site inspections before he can determine the plan. It is still a matter of whether the imperial court resources will be enough for him at that time.

For this reason, Han Yi wrote a special statement. After preparing to go to the local area, he first sorted out the local situation, population distribution, arable area, yield per mu, and taxation.

After figuring this out, don't be in a hurry. First, make improvements a little bit, build up the overall framework of the county government, and then reduce taxes.

However, he feels that as long as the tax is reduced, many people may be willing to come here.

As for population growth and urban construction, these things have to be done slowly, and you can’t become fat with one bite.

After Han Yi finished writing the report, he calculated it with his fingers. This is not going to be done in five or ten years, especially the population growth. If it is purely based on local people, then at least ten years is the starting point. He wants to take root Grassroots rhythm?

No, no, it's not that he doesn't want to, but that his focus shouldn't be here. He wants to go back to help Yan Zheng. Even if the national policy can't be formulated, it's better to retreat and study advanced weapons than to grind foreign crafts here!

Therefore, we still have to start with the population. There are only two aspects to attracting the population.

But now that Furong County is poor and white, who wants to come.

So...he not only needs to protect the livelihood of the people, but also strives to make a fortune.

Han Yi suddenly felt a little pain in his head, and he wished he could turn around and ask Yan Zi if he could control the water if he recommended him?

Before, he felt that the water control project was a headache. After all, there are no formulas in this era, and they are all the experience summed up by the predecessors. Now he feels that compared to this, water control is really easy.

Han Yi put up the written note, looked out the window melancholy and sighed.

Chu Fei on the side was a little curious. In his impression, Han Yi was very high-spirited and always had a smile on his face, as if nothing could trouble him.

This appearance is really rare now, and he couldn't help asking: "What kind of problem is Lang Jun encountering?"

Han Yi couldn't hold back his bitterness to Chu Fei. At first Chu Fei nodded and thought it made sense, but when Han Yi talked about it...he was also at a loss.

After Han Yi finished speaking, he had no choice but to say, "This... this... I also... don't know what to do."

Chu Fei was very embarrassed. He thought to himself that he was a bit talented. Although he was a bit unrestrained when he was young, he had seen it when he was with his father, and his father said that he was a good guy because he was transparent. ... He himself was spoiled, and he didn't want to work hard at all in the first place.

What's more, his relationship with Chu Shiying is not a secret in the family. His father was very dissatisfied with him, so he let it go.

It turned out that he didn't expect, those things he knew, it seems... there is no way to solve Han Yi's current predicament.

Of course, Han Yi didn't expect Chu Fei to be able to do anything. When the Chu family was not in trouble, Chu Fei was an aristocratic son who saw only major national affairs. Woolen cloth?

So from this point of view, Yan Zijian asked an earl to be the county magistrate, which is very strange in itself, that is, it is blocked by the matter of water control, so that everyone does not have too many objections.

Otherwise, there are bound to be protests.

It's not that Han Yi is so popular, but that there are already some fixed rules for promotion in the officialdom now. Whoever worked hard to climb up and have a title would not want to go back to be a county magistrate, so this matter must be called back. , even if it is the king's intention.

Even so, Yan Zijian assured everyone that this was a special case, and that Han Yi was given the county magistrate status only so that he would not have to waste time coordinating with the local area, and it would be more convenient for him to decide by himself.

After Han Yi complained to Chu Fei, he felt a little more relieved. Anyway, the difficulties are here, and they can only be solved little by little. Worrying is useless.

Of course, the first thing to be solved may be the degree of acceptance of the local people.

After all, it is a newly occupied land, and the local people may have a lot of rejection for them. If this is not resolved, no matter what kind of work it is, I am afraid it will not be easy to promote.

However, there is no good way to do this matter. We can only take one step at a time.

However, what Han Yi didn't expect was that after they arrived there, they didn't receive any rejection.

When the people who were farming on the road saw such a long line, they just looked up and then continued to cultivate numbly. In their eyes, nothing is more important than taking advantage of the weather to do more work.

Han Yi came all the way east from the Central Plains. On the road, he went from the fertile fields to the deserted places, and the common people also changed from smiling to disheveled. When they arrived in Furong County, it was even more extreme. Even young toddlers help out in the fields.

And each of these children has a huge head. Of course, it's not that the head is too big, but their body is too thin, so they appear to have a big head.

Han Yi had only seen such a scene when he was watching those African refugee children on the Internet in his previous life.

However, the photos and the reality are two different things after all. Looking at the photos, I just feel that those children are quite pitiful, and I forget about it when I turn off the computer.

Seeing the skinny appearance of these children with his own eyes, Han Yi was only shocked.

"How could this be?" Han Yi frowned tightly. He had already prepared for the local area to be not very rich, but now... it is not only not very rich, but also poor to a certain extent.

But although Furong County is a newly occupied area, it has not actually experienced chaos for too long.

Before he came, he went through the past battle reports. It took a total of three months from the start of the attack to the complete capture of Furong County.

And it was Meng Xian who led the troops, and Meng Xian did not plunder the local people after occupying this place.

At that time, Han Yi still felt that Meng Xian had a conscience, but now it seems... there is nothing to plunder, right?

So when this place was in Zhao Guo's hands, the people's lives were not so good?

Han Yi felt that his work seemed to be more difficult. After arriving in the local area, a local official came to greet him. Han Yi asked him to take out all kinds of information without saying a word. As for the banquet and so on... they are all poor Now that this is the case, the banquet is nothing more than eating chaff and porridge!

Seeing that Han Yi didn't make excessive demands, the little official was also relieved, and tremblingly went over to let someone hug a pile of bamboo slips.

Although the bamboo slips seem to be many, they don’t actually have much data. They are all about the population and land after the Qin State took over Furong County. As for the data recorded by the Zhao State before... sorry, let General Meng burn it.

Han Yi suddenly became angry, and made a note of Meng's first, and then looked at the others.

When he saw the tax situation below, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What's going on? Why are there so many taxes? Who made them? The people are so poor, how can they pay them? Are you crazy?"

If you want to embezzle like this, how much money can you embezzle?Even if you want to be greedy to develop the local area, wouldn't everyone be greedy when they have money?

Of course, he is not encouraging corruption, but the problem is that doing so is nothing but fishing, and it is too short-sighted!

The little official said with a bitter face: "Count, magistrate, this is already the lowest tax amount, there is no way to lower it."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and after careful inquiry, he found out that the newly occupied land is different from the original land tax ratio of Qin State, which is usually one to twice that of ordinary people in Qin State. National treatment.

I really never expected it.

After Han Yi waited for the little official to finish speaking, he managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Thank you, it's getting late today, so go back and rest first, and we'll continue our detailed discussion tomorrow."

Seeing his uneasy expression, the little official hurriedly withdrew.

Han Yi threw the data aside and began to write a memorial to Yan Zijian.

When his memorials arrived in Xianyang, Yan Zijian was having a meeting with important ministers. Because there were not many people, it was equivalent to a small court meeting.

Yan Zijian asked Gao Fuling to read the memorandum and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Ah Yi has encountered difficulties."

The others also smiled knowingly, feeling relieved to some extent—although this guy left, he still left a concept of rectifying the court, and they have been very tired these two days.

As a result, they couldn't laugh any longer - they were stunned by Han Yi's scolding.
