On the beach of Taizhou Prefecture..,
Bricks and tiles were continuously sent here.
Li Qingqing first gathered the refugees who had come from the war in Taizhou Prefecture and brought them out of the city.
She hired them to build the docks and ensure their food and clothing.
She sent officers to be supervisors.
Then, she sent troops to patrol the streets.
She limited the soaring prices and stabilized the panicked Taizhou Prefecture at the first moment. At least the city was much safer.
There was no longer any robbing and killing.
Then..,
She issued a land restriction order.
She stopped the local gentry from crazily taking advantage of the chaotic world to collect land. She brought her subordinates and sold a batch of land to the farmers at a low price.
Each person was limited to one purchase.
Then, she issued an order to reduce taxes.
She also sent a large amount of grain and rations.
To overdo it.
Finally,
The spring plowing began.
The countryside was also temporarily stabilized.
Li Qingqing, who was so busy that she finally had time to sit on the tiger-skin chair in the yamen.
"God bless. Amitabha. The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord has finally stopped." Li Qingqing tied her cloak.
Her buttocks crumpled her scarlet velvet cloak into a ball. She gulped down the water. The water spilled all over the ground.
"Be careful not to mispronounce the name.
You've angered the gods and Buddhas. "Lin Daiyu flipped through the local records of Taizhou Prefecture.
She teased.
"Justified by faith. As long as you have God in your heart, it's fine.
Your mouth is empty. Isn't this place known as the source of the Buddhist Sect's Dao? Buddhism and Taoism have fate.
Buddha, please bless these bastards so that they can die early and enjoy a happy life. "
Lin Daiyu knew that she was cursing the gentry of Taizhou.
The temple was small and the wind was strong.
There were many bastards in the shallow pond.
Although the place was barren and there was very little land that could be farmed, the gentry's appetite was bigger and bigger.
Li Qingqing wanted to build a factory, build a dock, open a river to the sea, and redeem the land in the hands of the gentry. These people could even quote a sky-high price for the mudflats that were difficult to farm.
If it were not for the Chamber of Commerce's repeated exhortations to be lenient towards the gentry, Li Qingqing would have long since become "evil". Recently, she often said, "The revolutionary army's method is still the best." She talked about the days when she followed the revolutionary army to kidnap the landlord and hang him.
"Towards these fat-bellied people who only know how to enjoy the land rent, sit back and reap the harvest, and bully the common people … if it weren't for …" Li Qingqing coldly snorted, and stuck her head out to look at the booklet in Lin Daiyu's hand, "Elder Sister, how is it? You're the only one who reads more books than me. I get a headache whenever I look at these chattering idiots. "
"Here." Lin Daiyu put down the local record that she had memorized long ago and pointed at the map on the side, "The local record says that this place is one of the rare plains in this area, and there was originally a natural river. I asked the fishermen, and they all said that the water entering the sea is deep and suitable for building a port."
She handed over the long list of names in her hand with a worried expression, "This is the list of provisions and supplies that just arrived today. I've already had people calculate the cost. Qingqing, I just did some calculations in my mind. With the current situation and population of Taizhou Prefecture, we don't have much money left in reserve. We can only last until the beginning of spring next year. If the spring plowing doesn't go smoothly … don't even talk about supplying food for the workers building the docks and factories. I'm afraid … I'm afraid that when the time comes, we'll have to reach out to the Chamber of Commerce again. "
"If anyone dares to disrupt the spring plowing and affect the construction of the port, I'll be the first to not let that bastard off." Li Qingqing coldly laughed, "Elder Sister, just make the arrangements. The boys aren't to be trifled with."
She calculated and said, "When next year's grain can be self-sufficient, the port will be built. It'll be connected to the port in the adjacent sea area to form a supply line. The fleet can directly transport supplies from the sea. Once trade begins, these barren lands won't be able to affect the prosperity of Taizhou Prefecture that's about to begin. Hmph. When the time comes, these rich gentry will beg to give me their land, and it'll depend on whether or not I accept it. Don't leave a single one of their rules. Destroy them all! "
As she spoke, she cracked open her mouth and smiled wittily and shrewdly. It was as if her entire body was filled with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. She bravely pressed forward, head held high and chest puffed out as she competed with the countless "troublesome things".
Lin Daiyu sent her off.
She sent her off for a very long time until that figure brought those vigorous military officers and whistled through the fragrant grass. Their shadows disappeared into the underbrush and forest, and they could no longer be seen. Lin Daiyu was still standing on top of the ancient city walls of Taizhou Prefecture.
She wasn't wearing a curtained hat. On top of the ancient city walls, the spring sun shone on her passionate brows and eyes. Her long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and her slender figure was dazzling. It was enough to move the heart of a stubborn stone.
Such a jade-like and peerlessly beautiful woman. Even the young miss of the prefectural magistrate's family couldn't compare to her in the slightest.
The young bailiff looked at this figure and thought to himself. Just as he was feeling a bit warm, he suddenly shivered and remembered that some local tyrants and evil gentry who thought that Mr. Lin and that Commander Li were women would be soft-hearted and had crooked thoughts were dealt with on the spot by the allied forces. Scholars who were disrespectful to Mr. Lin were either put in gunnysack by this gentleman's admirers or condemned in speech and in writing. They had no choice but to leave Taizhou that very night.
This was Mr. Lin, the second-in-command in charge of Taizhou Prefecture's internal affairs. He was also a famous literary tycoon, and not the intellectual he had seen before.
The delicate young miss of the prefectural magistrate's family.
He hurriedly lowered his eyes and respectfully called out, "Mr. Lin. Your health isn't good, so you shouldn't be exposed to the cold wind … "However, he didn't dare to look at her with a strange gaze.
After a while, Lin Daiyu gently coughed. She withdrew her gaze and adjusted the collar of her cloak. She faintly responded and stepped down from the city walls.
After working hard for an entire month, everything in Taizhou Prefecture was on the right track.
