Hai Rui talked about the benefits of Gongzhong’s fields and warehousing.

But the child's words made Hai Rui not know how to answer. The child asked: "The food in many fields belongs to the public, so how can the village chief not be moved?"

"If the village chief takes advantage of the public money and food, what's the difference between him and the dead Mr. Huang?"

Hai Rui patted the child's head silently, but couldn't answer for a while. He didn't say anything about selection or supervision, because it was useless. People in power have more initiative than those who are governed.

What he wants to do is to make it more convenient and more powerful.

If all the money and food are taken away at once, the people below will definitely rebel. But if the flesh is cut slowly with a knife, after ten or twenty years, people will get used to it, and after their power is established, who will dare to oppose it?

After a long silence, Hai Rui said: "At least now that we are in charge, everyone is keeping an eye on us, and money and food cannot escape."

"If we can repair the reservoirs and ditches, we will benefit from them for decades."

"Right?"

The children nodded. It is not that there is no shortage of water at the seaside. Seawater cannot be used for living and irrigation. They also need water conservancy projects. The children accepted this statement, but the villagers did not necessarily accept it.

Hai Rui continued to work for them, teaching the village secretary step by step how to work, organizing villagers to do things, and handling accounts.

Then organize the young and middle-aged people in the village to train militia, patrol the village, and maintain public order. Please note that the war in Annan is not over. There are counterattacks in many places, and you need to protect yourself.

Hai Rui felt a deep sense of exhaustion from just a Haisha Village with more than a hundred households.

It's not so much that Annan is too behind, but that there are too many things to do, and even with a good start, Hai Rui feels that any mistake or perfunctory step is a waste.

He hopes to establish an operating mechanism that can maintain fairness for at least one to two hundred years, so that he can be worthy of such a thorough equalization of land.

"Hai Jiao Yu!"

It was so busy that at night, all the members of his working group gathered to find Hai Rui. It was like this every time these days. Hai Rui was always the last to be busy when dealing with work in each village.

It is said to be a teaching, but in fact it has no actual function.

It was just that General Zhao saw that Hai Rui was capable and talented, so he made Hai Rui responsible for the land equalization work in the entire Thanh Hoa Prefecture. Logically speaking, this kind of work should belong to the category of "chief clerk", but Hai Rui felt that he was not the chief clerk.

It should be a teaching.

Not only are they responsible for the management and education of local residents, but they should also teach the people how to safeguard their interests.

In fact, Hai Rui does not want to be responsible for the land equalization work in the entire Thanh Hoa Province. It is not a matter of ability, but because he is walking on thin ice. He prefers to work deeply in one village and one township, familiarize himself with exploring good methods, and manage one area first before talking about other things.

However, time does not allow it and conditions do not allow it.

Although there were some civilian personnel accompanying the Southern Expeditionary Army, they were in the minority after all. In the case of Annan, the scholars must be landlords. They will die and run away. How can they be willing to help you equalize land and carry out construction?

Although Li Weining was able to recruit some people, he himself also "turned away from his relatives".

The elders of the Later Li Dynasty directly abolished Li Weining's imperial title and re-established a minor emperor. In this case, where would the scholars come to help them?

We had no choice but to select some literate people in the army and some capable people among the common people to carry out land equalization and construction.

The team members were all back. Hai Rui declined the invitation from Hai Sa Village to have him have a meal and led the team back to Thanh Hoa. In the original government office, he ate a piece of cake and continued to stay up late to handle official duties.

Thanh Hoa Mansion is now garrisoned by General Zhao.

He was too lazy to take care of these matters, so he left them all to Hai Rui. On the surface, Hai Rui was only responsible for the land equalization, but in fact he was already responsible for the government affairs.

He is only twenty-two years old now and has no experience in many things. He can only work hard and work hard in the past few days.

From the beginning of May to the beginning of June, Hai Rui has lost a lot of weight in one month, and his eyes are already very dark, but he does not dare to delay government affairs for a moment.

How to ensure the supply of food for the troops in the local area? How to transport food and grass when the army is fighting on the front line?

Gu Cui

Although there is enough food in Annan's granary, there is no need to collect food from the people, but how much does it cost to organize the people's transportation to make up for the delayed farming harvest?

I was only afraid of hurting the people in the slightest, so I concentrated on every word.

When it came to Chou, he stopped writing and rested at his desk. After sleeping for more than an hour, he woke up to the sound of roosters at dawn. He held his heavy head, covered his face with water, and continued to deal with government affairs.

At this time, a bowl of hot porridge was served.

He is a little eunuch.

When Thanh Hoa Mansion was captured, there were not even princes here, but there were many eunuchs. Raising eunuchs from non-royal families was trespassing and would lead to beheading, but in Annan, those rich families were obviously not afraid.

It is not enough for them to raise servants. They have to raise some eunuchs to take care of the back house. The master can rest assured that he has dignity.

Be particular about it.

They all brought back old eunuchs from the palace and paid them high salaries to teach them the rules of the palace and show their dignity. Those who were not particular just wanted the eunuchs to serve them.

The army broke into Qinghua Mansion and actually sorted out more than 800 eunuchs...

How many people will die from this kind of private castration?

Let’s not talk about the darkness of the past, but these eunuchs obviously cannot divide the fields. Even if they are given fields to cultivate, they will not have the strength.

I arranged to do some work in the government office first, and then make other arrangements when I was free later.

This little eunuch named Gui'an was arranged to take care of Hai Rui's daily life, cooking, washing clothes and so on.

"Haha, thank you very much."

Hai Rui took the hot porridge with a smile and thanked the young eunuch, but Gui An kowtowed to Hai Rui respectfully. This made Hai Rui stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up to help him and said, "This is

What are you doing?"

Gui'an said: "I have been with you for almost half a month. I have seen what you have done for the people of Annan. My parents and brothers have also divided their fields, so I express my gratitude to you."

Hai Rui sighed, shook his head and said, "I just did what I should do."

Gui'an said: "Your Excellency is the only official I have ever seen who thinks about the people. Even the wages of the corvee must be visited and asked for opinions before being determined based on the price. He is afraid that the people will suffer a loss of a penny, so he stays up late every night.

I just went to bed and got up at Mao hour."

"This slave can only look at me and feel distressed, but I can't even do anything to help."

"I can only kowtow to you, sir. Please don't refuse me."

Hai Rui saw that this little eunuch, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, was actually quite smart and knew a lot. Suddenly a light flashed in his mind and he asked, "Have you read a book?"

Gui'an said: "For those of you who have read, the former magistrate said that all the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were educated, so we are also required to study, so that we can be ranked first."

Hai Rui asked hurriedly: "Have you all read it?"

Gui'an replied: "More than half of them have read books and know how to read."

Hai Rui was a little excited. He grabbed Gui An's shoulders and asked, "Will you help me share the land?"

Gui'an did not answer, but said hesitantly: "I heard that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty... hate eunuchs the most."

Hai Rui patted Gui'an on the shoulder and said, "Yes, they hate eunuchs the most. Because the emperor cannot control the court, he can only fight them with eunuchs. When they scold the eunuchs, they are actually scolding the emperor."

"I didn't understand this before. When I came to Annan, I saw the officials and gentry being tried and the joy of the people being distributed to fields."

"That's all I understand."
