As soon as he thought about it, An Yinong really wrote a note, hoping that through the application, the cattle could be divided into farm cattle, beef cattle and milk cattle. Moreover, he also wanted to apply for the fat black cattle like Dingsha County It is designated as edible tribute cattle for tax deduction and promotion.

Gu Zhengzhong looked at the enthusiastic An Yinong, and didn't hold much hope in his heart.Slaughtering cattle in private was a death sentence in the previous dynasty, because cattle were mainly used for farming and traveling. If a beef cattle was suddenly produced, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty might not agree.

After a few months, the welfare housing was repaired under the eyes of ordinary people in Dingsha County, and entered the stage of distribution.

The magistrate personally brought people into a model room and showed everyone what kind of life it would be like if a family of seven lived in it.

The houses are all square, and the distance between the two houses is less than two meters.Such dense buildings can better withstand high winds.

An Yinong led people in through the two-door main entrance. The main entrance was very beautifully repaired, and there was a place reserved for posting couplets and hanging lanterns.Extending from the main entrance is a thick and high earth wall, which surrounds the house and is also used for wind protection.

As soon as you enter the main entrance, you will see a large flat yard. There is a jujube tree in the yard, and there are nurseries on both sides, where you can grow some small vegetables. The men in the family are good at chopping firewood.

Looking up, you can see two small rooms on the other side of the yard. They are livestock houses, where five or six sheep and a flock of chickens are raised.For poor households, two livestock houses are quite enough.

Next to the cattle house, that is, at the corner is the kitchen. There are two stoves in the kitchen. In the future, one cooks and the other cooks enough for a large family. There is a small hole between the two big stoves, which is used for the kettle. , using the residual heat to boil water.

At this time, the firewood in the stove was burning vigorously.

Then An Yinong took them to the next door.Next door is a strange room, the whole room is divided into two sides, one side is empty, and the other side is a whole side of the bed, it is so big that seven or eight adults can lie horizontally.

"Lie down and have a look?" He smiled and looked at the curious people.

These people hesitated, and finally a braver one came out and touched it cautiously: "Huh?"

The expression on his face became very strange, and he couldn't help touching the bed with his hands: "It's hot? It's hot." As he said that, he took off his shoes and climbed up, sat cross-legged on it naturally, and was very satisfied. His face was in a trance, and he even started to smile silly.

The others became curious, and touched it carefully, okay, in the end, a group of people squeezed cross-legged on the bed, and refused to get off.

This strange warm bed is a bit hot for sleeping at the moment, but it is a good thing for life-saving in the coldest season of the year.

"My lord, what kind of treasure is this? Why is it so warm?" a herdsman couldn't help asking.

"This is a hanging kang bed." An Yinong explained the usefulness of the hanging kang bed.

The main purpose of the hanging kang is to keep warm in winter. It uses less firewood than a stove, but it can provide the largest area of ​​warmth. In winter, a family crowded here may feel too hot.

In addition, if you feel that it is too hot or too cold and want to adjust the temperature, you can just use the burner plate to adjust it.How to operate them specifically, they can be summarized after use.

After listening, the herdsman touched the bed carefully: "Good baby, good baby."

The shock brought by the Kang bed was too great, and An Yinong introduced other rooms and the cellar afterwards, but they didn't pay attention.But no matter what, I took them around and probably knew how big the house was and how many rooms it had.

No one dislikes this house. It’s not cold in winter, and it’s not exposed to the sun in summer. There are many and big rooms, and you can raise livestock. It’s close to the well, which is the best thing.

"However, such a good house must not be cheap, right? Can you afford it?"

So when the government posted the notice, people in the county almost couldn't believe it.

That beautiful house that is well-built and has a Kang Kang, can you really buy it for a little price?Can you pay in three years without money?Every 42 households will be allocated a large well, and the water will not be charged?

What are you waiting for?Grab it!

People who have a house at home, and the house is not bad, look at the poor people who apply with envy and jealousy.But let them also apply, but they are not willing.

"The house is good, but my house in the county is also good. I applied for this house later, and the family moved out of the city to live in the suburbs? How inconvenient is this?"

These people who have good houses feel that the house allocation is tasteless, but it is a unique opportunity for these people living in the slums.

The laziest men in the slums get out of bed and look around for jobs to earn money.

"I want to buy a house with such a small amount of money. I didn't have it before, and I may not have it in the future. I will miss it and regret it for a lifetime!"

During the drought and the rain, the county put up notices at this time, and asked people to beat gongs and drums from door to door to notify:

The masonry and tile kilns run by the county continue to recruit workers, rubber grass and pine plantation recruit workers, herbal medicine farmers recruit workers, house repairs continue to recruit workers, road repairs recruit workers...

"Not only that, the county is also recruiting people with experience in raising cattle and dogs, both men and women are welcome. Our adults are going to raise cattle and hounds recently, and we are going to sell them elsewhere." The yamen servant beat gongs and drums and went to various places to notify him that his voice was hoarse.

This yamen servant was the first one to hit the young master of the Jin family at that time. He is now lucky that he voted for the right person at that time. Now he came out wearing the yamen servant uniform, and everyone on the road gave him a thumbs up, so proud!

"Can cows and dogs be sold to make money? Are they easy to sell?" The villagers don't understand.

"It's up to you whether to sell it or not. Our magistrates have the final say. You don't want to make money? You work for two taels of silver a month. Do you want to? Sign up quickly if you want to?" The yamen servant looked around and lowered his voice, " I don’t say anything to ordinary people, but the county magistrate has said it, and those who respond positively will consider him first if they have any benefits in the future.”

"What? We can still share benefits in the future?" An old lady patted her thigh, "Didn't you say it earlier? I raise cattle, and they are famous for their robustness. I will teach them how to raise cattle! How do I sign up?"

The others were also anxious: "And me, I have two hounds at home, so one is good!"

The yamen servant who was directly surrounded by people wiped off his sweat: "Don't worry, uncles and aunts, just register with me, don't worry, we have everything."

The news from various places in Dingsha County was brought back by the little ghosts, and was compiled by the four 'big secrets' and written into the report. An Yinong listened carefully to the specific situation they reported, and they didn't leave until the moon was in the sky.

Yawning, An Yinong took out the script that had already been written in two volumes, with ink on the tip of his pen: "By this time, the first volume of script should have been printed and put on the shelf, right?"

Gu Zhengzhong couldn't stop him from staying up all night, so he rubbed ink next to him, and fragrant mist came out from the golden incense burner. In addition to spices, it was also mixed with some special spiritual things that can strengthen the body.

The monsters outside smelled this smell, and they all lay on the wall, ready to move.But they didn't dare, there was a murderous golden halo on the magistrate's body, once they became malicious, they would be injured.

"I don't know how the response will be. Anyway, the script is written by the county magistrate, so it can't be without any ripples." An Yinong, who was writing a story for the first time, was not so confident.

However, even if it doesn't succeed, it's a shame for him alone, not a huge loss.But if it succeeds, it will save him countless efforts.To sum up, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so even though he was worried, he still chose to do this.

Waiting and waiting, until the first batch of welfare housing quotas were settled, An Yinong finally received his letter.

Emperor Qi first reprimanded him as a county magistrate to write a storybook, and then changed his tone, saying that the imperial court had approved the request of "categorical breeding and processing of cattle", and that Dingsha cattle could be raised, slaughtered and sold as beef cattle.

"Emperor Qi agreed to my request and didn't ask me to be held accountable. I'm actually a little surprised." An Yinong was full of emotions. It's good to have a boss with the same goal.

Gu Zhengzhong thought back to the emperors he had met, that Emperor Qi was indeed easy to talk, so things that were out of order were allowed.

"This is the harmony between the monarch and his ministers, treat him as a scholar of the country, and repay him as a scholar of the country." An Yinong said again.

I don't know why, Gu Zhengzhong was a little upset, he didn't want An Yinong to use this sentence on others.But he didn't say anything, just pressed his shoulder: "It's also Emperor Qi's luck to meet you."

There are many officials who have passed the scientific examinations in ancient and modern times who can write essays and poems to talk about military affairs on paper, but only a few can really govern the place and turn "poor mountains and bad waters" into "good places".

Such a minister who can do practical things is exactly what many aspiring emperors want most.

"Mr. is 'a sage is in the eye of the beholder'." An Yinong put down his pen, and leaned on Gu Zhengzhong with a rare indulgence, "Mr. has worked hard these days. If I have merit, it should be half as much as Mr. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light on his body that had been harvested with countless painstaking efforts really distributed half of it to Gu Zhengzhong's body.

Gu Zhengzhong seemed to be able to feel the warm love in the golden light.The black flames on his body were billowing, but they merged with the golden light wonderfully, without harming each other.

Man's words can lie, but his heart cannot.

"They are all wrong. It's not that people and ghosts have no future, but that people and ghosts with different hearts have no future." He thought.

An Yinong's tenderness did not last long, and he sat before the case again: "The standard for beef cattle has been passed, but the application for tribute cattle has not yet. I will write another letter, one a month, take your time, Not in a hurry."

"..." Gu Zhengzhong began to suspect that Emperor Qi had committed a crime to meet such a courtier.

The matter of housing distribution has made Dingsha County lively for a while, and now the second batch of welfare housing has begun to be built, and many people still go to see it, thinking that it will be their own housing.

As for the first batch of people to live in... don't come here to attract hatred.

Because the first batch of people living in welfare housing were basically from the slums, An Yinong was a little curious about the current situation in the slums.So one afternoon, after carefully disguising himself, he went to the slum with Gu Zhengzhong.

The slums are still the same, with dilapidated old houses and people in shabby clothes, but they have many more smiles on their faces, and their faces seem to look much better. What they hold in their hands is no longer a small kettle, but two bucket of water.

The old people at the gate still gather together, but instead of looking for lice in their hair to eat, they rub beans to dry the wheat.Many of their families have their own land this year, so they have gained a lot.

While they were working, they were talking about the house, with envy and jealousy gushing out from their words.

Such a good house, warm in winter and cool in summer, can also raise livestock and grow some side dishes, how beautiful it is, how can you not envy and envy the people who move in?

At this time, a man in a special uniform walked out of a small house.

This uniform is uniform, and it is for the government to raise cattle and hounds. The people who wear it are all senior breeders invited by the government of Dingsha County for two taels of silver a month.

An Yinong thought he looked familiar, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was the man who looked at him defensively back then.He looked much softer now, though, with more flesh on his face.

A little girl ran out of the house to bring a water bottle to her father.An Yinong also remembered her, the little girl who took a piece of leather and tore off the fat on it.Now the little girl is wearing a pink dress with braids on her head, and what she holds in her hand is not a leather bag, but a piece of bread.

Before An Yinong could see enough, a group of children ran out from the alley, holding a windmill made of wood and paper in their hands, and ran past him laughing and laughing.

Some of them An Yinong had seen before, and some hadn't.These children are fatter and taller than when I saw them last year, and they finally have decent clothes and clean.

"Seeing them is like seeing my report card." An Yinong suddenly felt a little emotional, and he reached out to hold Gu Zhengzhong's hand, wanting to share this feeling.

"It felt kind of encouraged."

Better than money, better than fame, better encouragement than anything else.

At this time, the original 'malicious' thought resurfaced again.

It's so boring to play wildly with a windmill. They should carry small schoolbags, fly freely in the sky of knowledge, and make friends with big characters and arithmetic every day.

This is the life a child should live.

"The Jin family and the Bai family have already dealt with it. It's a pity that the houses they left behind are left alone. Do you want to set up a free school?" He asked Gu Zhengzhong.

"Yi Xue?"

"Hire a gentleman, open a school, and provide free compulsory education to all children in the county, regardless of boys or girls. Until they learn common words and basic arithmetic.

"No, not only do I want to be free, but I also want to give rewards to the children who study well. Those who get the best in the exam can take away the piglets and a group of little yellow chickens." This can not only motivate children to study hard, It can also encourage parents to send their children to study, why not do it?

Gu Zhengzhong knew that many people would pay to buy school fields for the children of the clan to study for free.And some squires spread such kindness to other children in the village and town.

However, the magistrate of a county said that he would compulsorily arrange for the children in the county to attend schools, regardless of gender. This is unprecedented.

He couldn't even tell whether the move would be praised or vilified.

Because the children of many families have reached the age to help the family, perhaps their parents prefer that they stay at home to take care of the children to do housework, or learn to work to earn money.

"If they don't want their children to go to school, they won't have a share in any job recruitment and welfare distribution in the future." An Yinong said again, stick and carrot, if you don't believe it, they won't listen.

"Aren't you afraid that the people below will object?" Gu Zhengzhong asked with a smile.

An Yinong's face was half-bright and half-dark in the warm light at dusk, and his eyes narrowed: "The blood of the Jin family and the Bai family is not yet dry, I don't think anyone would dare to object?"
