Chapter 599

Almost half a month after Ji Kang and his party left Nanzhu, another convoy came to Yangliu Town from Yuzhou City.

The convoy entered Yangliu Town and headed straight to the county government.

The rumor that the court sent another batch of disaster relief food to Nanzhu quickly spread.

Of course, there were sharp-eyed people pointing at the convoy to refute the rumors.

Just looking at the rut marks, you can infer that the things loaded on these cars are not heavy. If the car is loaded with grain, it is a heavy truck. The rut marks are much deeper than this convoy!

No matter what was transported on the car, there was a curious man following the convoy to the county government.

The convoy was two streets away from the yamen. There were less than one hundred people following the convoy, seventy or eighty. There were even a few more people who crossed the convoy and ran to the yamen to deliver letters.

In the past half a month, few officials from the county government have stayed in the yamen for the post-disaster reconstruction work in Nanzhu.

In order to get Nanzhu's post-disaster work on track as soon as possible, Ye Shen is about to get all night long.

After half a month of hard work, the villages buried by mudslides in Donglin Town have now learned from the site selection experience of villages in Hanshan Town, and each selected the reconstruction address, and the reconstruction work is in full swing.

However, today several officials from the county government did not go to the Donglin Town area, but all went to the Polite Village area.

After the water level of Chishui River went down, Ye Shen arranged for people to repair the broken dike.

After the river embankment is restored, there will naturally no river water will flow to the Pomegranate Village area. Just organize personnel to remove the accumulated water in the area, and the people in this area can return to normal life.

This flood discharge brought a lot of soil to the Polite Village area, forming a large area of ​​unowned new land.

In order to avoid looting the people who moved back to their homes, the county government divided the lands after research.

The county government not only clearly divided this newly formed land, but also issued a tax policy specifically for this new land.

Because I had some expectations for this new land before the flood discharge, Ye Shen conducted a relatively in-depth investigation on the reclamation of these new lands at the beginning of the flood discharge, and was able to introduce the division and tax policies of this new land so quickly.

This tax policy is slightly higher than wasteland reclamation, but it is much more relaxed compared to mature land.

As this new land in the Pomegranate Village area gradually emerged before people's eyes, Ye Shen not only personally went to the people to listen to the voices of the people, but also allowed the yamen runners to listen to the opinions of the people from the Pomegranate Village to listen to the views of this part of the people on this new land.

By summarizing these thoughts and opinions and analyzing them, Ye Shen knew that it would be quite difficult to implement the tax policy of the yamen on this new land.

After the yamen's tax policy was introduced, Ye Shen first summoned the village chief of the Polite Village area to preach, and naturally received a lot of opposition.

Ye Shen listened carefully to these objections and made appropriate adjustments to the tax policy based on these opinions. Today, the officials of the county government went to the Polite Village area to divide the land and preached the county government's tax policy on the new land on the spot.

For today's preaching, even Mr. Yang, who was always arranged by Ye Shen to stay in the yamen, followed Ye Shen to the area of ​​Pomegranate Village.

What was arranged to stay in the county government today is the document that was involved in the flood when the Chishui River broke through the embankment and discharged the flood.

After almost a month of rest, Wenshu's health has improved, but Ye Shen can keep him in the yamen as much as possible, and that's what it is today.

I heard from the people who came to the yamen to report that another convoy was coming from Yuzhou. Now Manyangliu Town is speculating whether the court has sent Nanzhu another disaster relief food.

The clerk frowned.

Half a month ago, the prefect and the governor just sent ten trucks of relief grain to Nanzhu. It should be impossible to send food to Nanzhu again in such a short time. Even if the court came down to receive the disaster situation in Shu, it would not be so fast.

The people who came to report the news said that the convoy had entered Yangliu Town and came to the yamen. No matter what kind of convoy it was, they would go out to take a look.

Before the documents left the yamen, they could hear the bustling sounds outside the yamen. However, when he came to the yamen, he saw a convoy heading to the backyard of the yamen. Needless to say, this convoy was not a convoy sent by the court, but someone from an official's house!

Thinking of the identity of the county magistrate's family, and thinking of the great-grandfather's wife coming to labor, the document speculated that the convoy should have come from Nanzhu from the capital to the county magistrate's wife to give birth gifts.

The middle-aged man came out of the convoy further confirmed the speculation of the document.

Secretary Wen remembered that this middle-aged man, the headmaster's wife's brother, had been to Nanzhu with the convoy in Beijing before.

The clerk quickly greeted him and asked in a low voice.

As the documents guessed, this convoy came from the capital, and the county magistrate's family and the wife of the county magistrate's wife gave birth gifts to the county magistrate's wife who was about to give birth.

I heard that the county officials were not busy outside, and only a few people were left in the yamen on duty. The middle-aged man who was escorting the convoy to Nanzhu, Zhao Heiniu's brother-in-law, couldn't help but ask about Nanzhu's situation.

They came out of the capital before the Dragon Boat Festival. The days on the river started smoothly. In the later stage, they encountered strong storms and had to go ashore in advance to change to land.

It was just that it was also difficult to walk by land, so I missed two days and stopped here for another two days. It took about 20 days to get there from Beijing to Nanzhu, but it took a month and a half.

Fortunately, everyone is fine, and there is no loss in the things sent to Nanzhu from the capital. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if you return to the capital.

The document determined the origin of the convoy. While summoning a sender to the Pomegranate Village, he waved to drive away the popular people: "It was the county magistrate who sent a birth gift to his wife. There was nothing good about it, so we quit quickly."

The bustle outside naturally alarmed the family in the backyard. Lin Wan sent Siqin to inquire about the situation. When she learned that it was Beijing that it was a gift for birth, Siqin was about to go back to deliver a letter to Lin Wan, but was stopped.

Siqin looked back and couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, she looked at the young master who got out of the car and said, "Fifth Master? Why are you here?!"

Siqin and Sizhu were the maids of Wu arranged by Cai's old Zhennan Hou for Lin Wan. The person who could make Siqin call the fifth prince naturally came from Zhennan Hou Mansion, so this person was Lin Hongbo, the eldest son of the third wife of Zhennan Hou Mansion.

"Why can't I come? Hurry up and lead the way. I want to see my third sister!" Lin Hongbo opened the fan in his hand and fanned, pointing to the backyard road where the door was already open.
