Dian Wei looked much scarier than Li Linfei, his arm was thicker than his own waist, and he couldn't imagine what it would be like to punch him down.

Chapter 455 Punishments and Rewards

Although the Shanyue people outside the city have been dealt with, the state of martial law is still maintained in Sanyin City, and many county soldiers and Habayashi troops are constantly patrolling the streets.

The rebellion in the city was quickly suppressed without much loss.Li Linfei came to the prefect's mansion alone, Guo Jiaxi Zhicai was already very busy, and even many people from the major families stayed to help in the mansion.

When they saw Li Linfei coming, they quickly saluted. Now the people from several big families are convinced of Li Linfei, and they dare not have any small thoughts. , I will only be right with him if I think my fate is too long.

"There's no need to be too polite." Li Linfei quickly helped them up.

"Is there a lot of damage in the city?" Although he can also check it from the system, he still needs to ask symbolically.

"There are not many Shanyue people who rebelled this time, and with the help of the big families and the mountain people who surrendered, they were quickly suppressed. The loss is not great, but I don't know how to deal with these mountain people." Xi Zhicai said. .

The few people next to him also pricked up their ears to hear how Li Linfei would deal with them. Through these actions, they can also infer his behavior and work. In the future, they will need to work under his hands for a long time. It is generally difficult for a person to mix well, unless his background is large enough to ignore any enemies.

"You don't eat toast and fine wine. Although many people are bewitched by others, they still can't be forgiven. All the mountain people who rebelled will be slaves. The leader of the rebellion will be beheaded. , the second is a military prostitute, and the third is demoted to a slave.

There were actually not many Shanyue who made trouble this time, and Li Linfei didn't believe how many women would be among them, so he ordered so.

Xi Zhicai and others nodded when they heard the words. This is a relatively well-behaved approach. After all, they are rebelling against each other!Heavy penalties are needed to serve as an example to others.

Then Li Linfei said: "Make a list of those mountain people who helped suppress the rebellion before, and I will send rewards to each household.

In fact, giving rewards doesn't need to be too good. The ancient people were very easy to solve. Their thinking is still very simple. As long as they send a sheep or two from door to door, they will be grateful to Li Linfei.

In the farming era, cattle are the productive force, so everyone seldom eats beef, even the emperor. Normally, the nobles and rich people eat mutton. Pork is for the poor, and the gentry will not eat it. of.

The price of mutton is also quite high. Li Linfei gave them fat mutton. Whether they eat it themselves or sell it, their lives will improve a lot.

But Li Linfei doesn't have many other things, and there are many in the cattle and sheep system.

Xi Zhicai nodded, and hurriedly sent people to prepare, eradicated those who had two hearts, and rewarded those Shanyue who made meritorious deeds, making them a role model, which is more conducive to the integration of Shanyue people.

After this battle, almost all the large-scale Shanyue tribes in Kuaiji County were wiped out. Their main focus is how to integrate these mountain people into the life of the Han people. This cannot be solved overnight. Fortunately, the lord has money, otherwise It is more troublesome to solve.

Hearing Li Linfei mentioning the reward, people from all the big aristocratic families turned their ears up. This time the mountain people contributed a small amount of effort, and most of the power came from their aristocratic families. Now that Li Linfei mentioned the reward, they naturally have to pay attention , to see if you have your own.

Li Linfei naturally knew what they were thinking. He checked the other party's thoughts through the system, and he had a good impression of himself. Some of them didn't hate him, but at least they didn't feel bad.

Li Linfei didn't mind giving them a little favor, so he said: "A lot of mountain people have entered Shanyin City today, and the city needs to be expanded. Are you interested in contracting this project?"

Li Linfei didn't have the energy to do so many things, and he didn't have enough manpower at hand, so he adopted the contract system of later generations to contract to various aristocratic families, so that they could earn money and help him solve the work problems of the mountain people.

"Project? Contract?" The owners were stunned when they heard these two new terms. What is it?They have never heard of it, and they are still a bit literate in their hearts to become a big local family, but they still don't understand the meaning of it.

There is no way to do this. In ancient times, government projects were all based on labor, and they were all compulsory. Not only did they not have to pay wages, but even the rations needed to be prepared by the people.Seeing their bewildered looks, Li Linfei explained to them what a project is and what a contract is.

Only then did the heads of the families suddenly realize, but is this really all right?Will it be punished if it is spread like this?This is inconsistent with the system that the big man has always had!

"My lord's idea is good, but this is inconsistent with the court's system and will increase the court's expenses." Patriarch Yu advised.

I didn’t go on with what I said later, but the meaning is obvious. You are a bad idea. If the emperor finds out, it will be a problem whether your prefect can continue to do it, and it will be a big drag on the government’s finances. If there are free ones, you don’t need to spend money. , Aren't you out of your mind?Still think it's too much money?

Li Linfei thought about it for a while, and then looked at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia shaking their heads at him. It seems that this kind of approach is really not good. Liu Hong is not dead yet, the world is not in chaos yet, he can't risk the world's disgrace It's not good for your reputation to be independent, and it will cause a lot of trouble if you don't do it well, so you changed the method: "What if you change to the same price of taxes?"

Chapter 456 The Academy is Completed

Li Linfei's words brightened everyone's eyes. Li Linfei was exempt from taxes in Kuaiji and did not have to pay taxes to the court, although they didn't know the specific reason.

But they all know the fact that the taxes in Kuaiji County are almost all Li Linfei's, and he exchanged the tax-free method with the aristocratic family for the aristocratic family's labor. The two are essentially the same, but the name is different!

No one can find any faults. With the name, all the big families have agreed that they have a lot of land, and they still have to pay a lot of taxes every year. According to Li Linfei, they can pay a lot less taxes and earn money from them. Still very happy.

However, in order to prevent these aristocratic families from doing anything wrong, Li Linfei told them his request again, asking them to give those laborers a certain amount of wages, not to treat them badly, the price must be basically the same as Li Linfei's, and the quality must be up to standard, etc. wait.

All the heads of the family also agreed. It is necessary to have good quality. The Shanyue people attacked the city gate last time, and they suffered a lot of losses. If the city wall is higher, Shanyue may not be able to invade Shanyin!

As for the money, they all agreed. Anyway, what they earn is Li Linfei's money, so as long as they report the account to them, they can't lose money.

After Li Linfei gave these instructions, He Qi also returned to the city with the thousands of Shanyue people he had captured before. Everyone was frightened by these big gestures. There is no way there are too many people. Woolen cloth.

I'm afraid they will have to work overtime today, and Shanyin City will indeed expand. This county town can only accommodate a population of more than [-] people, but now the population has suddenly increased by tens of thousands, and the county town has immediately become extremely crowded. Thought he still has to absorb refugees.

The Yellow Turban Uprising is about to start, and when the time comes, the north will be chaotic, and he plans to take advantage of this opportunity to earn a wave of people!

Shanyin County can't be built too big for the time being, he decided to expand and build all the nearby counties, anyway, when the time comes, he will need people, money, food and food.

Shanyue doesn't need to be encircled and suppressed for the time being, their population is large enough for the time being, otherwise there will be problems if they can't settle down, and the larger tribes are almost completely encircled and suppressed by Li Linfei, and the remaining small tribes will also be destroyed for the time being. Not much trouble.

Li Linfei called a few servants that Zhang Rang had stayed with him before. They used to be spies, but now they have completely surrendered to Li Linfei and their loyalty is not low. He asked them to bring some jewels to Luoyang for Zhang Rang and Liu Hong sent it, saying that he had solved the Shanyue problem, to see if he could get some benefits.

After dealing with these matters, Xi Zhicai and others were still busy. As the protagonist, Li Linfei was too embarrassed to go to rest by himself, and stayed up late with them to deal with matters. The entire prefect's mansion was working overtime.

The aristocratic families also sent many capable people to help, which prevented them from dying of exhaustion here.

With the help of several great talents, the affairs of Kuaiji County are arranged in an orderly manner, and the recruitment of refugees is proceeding in an orderly manner. Li Linfei has supplies that ordinary people cannot imagine. If such a large project is entrusted to any state or county for implementation, it will cause financial problems severe deficit.

It would be too much for the court to do it, not to mention that Liu Hong is still a money-greedy emperor, so it would be strange if he was willing to spend money on the people.

But Li Linfei was different!Want money?There are many in the system, and it doesn't matter how much you want.

Food is not a problem, it is also available in the system, and high-yield rice seeds are exchanged for planting.

Kuaiji Academy has already been established. Cai Yong has a great reputation and is not difficult to find at all. Guo Jia invited him to start the academy in the name of Li Linfei.

When the old man heard that Li Linfei was willing to take him in and set up an academy to provide him with a place to teach, he immediately ran over.

The location of the academy is easy to solve, it is just outside Shanyin City on Kuaiji Mountain, and it was built in a short time with the support of huge manpower and material resources.

Cai Yong, as a famous Confucian in the country, is well-known over there. If the local aristocratic families were not afraid of offending the eunuchs in the court, they would have confessed him as their ancestors. Without further hesitation, he sent the children of the clan directly to Kuaiji Academy.

Of course, Li Linfei's Kuaiji Academy could never be open only to the gentry. Under the impetus of Xi Zhicai, they launched a work-frugal and study policy, and many children from poor families could enter the academy to study.

On this day, Li Linfei had nothing to do and came to visit Cai Yong in the academy. After all, he is a great Confucian, and it is necessary for Li Linfei to visit Cai Yong as a junior in terms of etiquette.

Cai Yong was in class when Li Linfei came, and was about to salute when he saw Li Linfei coming.

But this is how a celebrity can let him salute.

"Li Yun and Li Linfei met Cai Zhonglang." This was the first time that Li Linfei met Cai Bojie, and Cai Yong revealed the righteousness of a scholar, which made Li Linfei feel good about him.

Chapter 457 The Eternal Famous Poet

When Li Linfei entered the academy, all the students were stunned and stood up to salute one after another. Many of them were descendants of local aristocratic families.

Li Linfei often appeared in public places, so they all knew what Li Linfei looked like, and they never expected that the prefect would attend the class with them.
