While recovering Le County and Wuji County, Zhao Xun also became busy in Yanzhou City. A law of farming was like a drop of water dropping from boiling oil, which suddenly cracked.
Countless people and victims were excited because they had their own land. At the same time, the Duwei Mansion promised them to provide them with seeds and farm tools, and assisted them in rebuilding their homes. Suddenly, the land distribution department of the Huolin Army was temporarily established.
It was blocked and the water was blocked. They applied for household registration and claimed their territory. The entire Yanzhou city was nearly a hundred miles in a radius, and it became lively. They plowed fields and built new homes. According to the order of the Huolin Army, each hundred households were one mile and every ten miles was one mile.
A town.
Of course, not everyone welcomed the new laws of the Huolin Army, but within three days, more than a hundred major landlords were arrested and dozens of fierce resistance were killed, making these people understand who Yanzhou Prefecture is now
The master forced them to spit out the fields they had embezzled. Of course, if they were willing to sell the fields in their hands, the Huolin Army would buy them at the market price. As for the more than a hundred people caught and killed, their fields were fired.
The army confiscated, and their family wealth became money from the Huolin Army to purchase other landlords' fields.
For a moment, the Huolin Army became the savior of ordinary people in Yanzhou Prefecture, and they truly recognized the status of the Huolin Army. Because they knew that if they wanted to keep the fields in their hands, only the Huolin Army could be there.
"Sir, I thought I was bold enough, but I didn't expect that sir, I was even more bold than me. In this way, we can offend all the landlords and merchants in Yanzhou Prefecture." Situ Liang said with a wry smile.
Zhao Xun said disrespectfully: "Observing the big landlords was inevitable at that time, but it was not necessarily possible to offend the merchants."
"Oh? Because of your attention?"
"Look at this!" As he said that, Zhao Xun handed over the things he had thought about for three days.
"Yanzhou Prefecture Commercial Law!"
"Uh... it's another decree! Hum?"
Situ Liang suddenly looked at him and said in surprise: "Sir, do you want to unify the commercial taxes in Yanzhou Prefecture?"
"Yes, a thousand counties collect taxes privately. Every time the merchants go, they have to pay different taxes and are bothered by soldiers from all over the country. But now, Yanzhou Prefecture collects taxes uniformly, and the Taxation Department will issue tickets.
, past checkpoints, localities are not allowed to continue to collect taxes.”
"High! The master is so good. It seems that we have collected less, but this is in our hands, not in the hands of local counties, and at the same time, it also reduces the taxes that the merchants should pay.
The most important thing is to strengthen control over various places and attract merchants. Yanzhou Prefecture is the front end of the handover between Yan State and the Ministry of Marin. It has frequent trade. Although it is now war, it will definitely be a place where commerce is extremely developed in the future."
"You said, who is the best person in charge of this tax department?"
"This... the adults think whoever is suitable is the most suitable!"
"You..." Zhao Xun smiled without saying a word.
The Taxation Department is an extraordinary yamen. Now the Huolin Army has begun to build its own new yamen and gradually throw the governor's mansion aside. This Taxation Department will be an important source of wealth for the Huolin Army in the future. Who dares to intervene easily? Although Situ Liang
He is Zhao Xun's confidant, but he cannot speak freely about such things, especially Zhao Xun is extremely willing to control everything.
"Let's talk about it when my mother and the others come over to see if there are anyone there who is familiar with finance."
Situ Liang's heart moved. Although Zhao Xun did not say who it was, Situ Liang guessed that the new members of the new yamen would be held.
"By the way, did I find the place I was looking for?"
"I think it is most suitable for seven miles northwest of the city. The terrain is flat, but there is no water source and it is not suitable for farming. It is most suitable for all martyrs tombs to be built there, not far from the city, and suitable for worship of the people."
Zhao Xun said in a low mood: "Thousands of soldiers sacrificed for Yanzhou Prefecture. What we can do, in addition to resettling their families, can only erect a monument for them to commemorate them and allow future generations to come.
Remember that the comforting life here is what these people earn with their lives and passion.”
Situ Liang smashed his mouth and said, "Compared with other people, no, compared to the court, you have done a good job, and we have settled their families. I think they will smile in the underworld.
Departed."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now the most important thing is to resettle the people to start growing winter wheat, so as not to worry about food next year."
"Don't worry, this adult, the Supervision Department has been sent to four counties, and the Huolin Army from all over the country also assisted them in allocating fields, farm tools, seeds, and starting to cultivate. Even if a few little rats make trouble, they will be killed by the Huolin Army's thunder.
Cut their claws." Situ Liang said confidently. Now, who dares to go against the Huolin Army in Yanzhou Prefecture? Even if there is, it will only be a dead person.
"How is it done when I asked you to recruit scholars?"
Situ Liang suddenly blushed and said hatefully: "The scholars in Yanzhou Prefecture are all mean and except for a dozen scholars who are about to starve to death, the rest should not be answered."
Zhao Xun suddenly became interested: "Oh? What's going on? Why not come? This time we adjusted the officials of the four counties, withdrew a lot of them and vacant many positions in the official positions. Are they not interested?"
Situ Liang said with an ugly face: "They all say that sir... sir..."
"Say I'm not planning?" Zhao Xun said dismissively.
"If you want to recruit these scholars, the adults need to convince one more person."
"Who? Who has such great ability to make scholars from Yanzhou Prefecture regarded as the leader?" Zhao Xun asked lightly, but the cold light in his eyes made Situ Liang reach directly. Zhao Xun must have murderous intentions in his heart. Yes
How could Zhao Xun not be afraid of being able to command scholars to become the controller of Yanzhou Prefecture?
Situ Liang hurriedly said: "It's not that this person can command scholars, but this person has a high reputation in Yanzhou Prefecture, and most of the scholars in Yanzhou Prefecture are taught by him."
"Are you talking about Yu Jing?"
“That’s right!”
"Yu Jing? I want to meet you!" Zhao Xun tapped the table lightly and said lightly.
After Situ Liang left, Zhao Xun looked at the information about Yu Jing collected by the Shadow Guard in detail. He was shocked when he saw it. He could save his life as the most left-minister. Yu Jing was really not simple. You must know,
The Zuo Prime Minister Situ Lei was not very interested in dealing with it. Except for the Qi King Party, no one who opposed Situ Liang had a good result. Just like his father, he escaped for more than ten years, but was eventually caught up by the Zuo Prime Minister.
Not to mention that more than ten years ago, Situ Lei was not the prime minister.
Although he does not agree with Yu Jing's style of doing things, Zhao Xun still admires Yu Jing's character, being upright and more stubborn than Gaotu he wins over. Such a person will not like, whether he is a colleague or a Shangguan, but Zhao Xun
I know that such a person is the best candidate in the supervision system.
"Han Meng, let Mrs. Xiao Hongdao bring the calligraphy and paintings from the gifts, and we will visit Yu Jing."
Han Meng said in confusion: "Sir, Yu Jing is a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, why should I visit him? Besides, aren't we incompatible with him? He is against us everywhere."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It is because I am against us everywhere that I have to visit him. Go!"
"Strange, the people who are against us still need to visit us. I can't guess what the adults think." He muttered as he walked.
Yu Mansion.
"Master, Zhao Xun, the commander of Huo Linjun, has come and said he is visiting the master!" The housekeeper said to Yu Jing, who was sitting in the back garden with a nervous look on his face.
"How many people have come?"
"There was a team of guards following him, but they were all staying outside the mansion. Only five guards came with him. Now they were in the hall. Why don't I go and say, "My lord is sick and it's not convenient to see guests?"
"Visit me? This Zhao Xun..." Yu Jing murmured to himself silently.
"No, I'll go now and see what the commander of the Huolin Army who has pacified Yanzhou Prefecture wants to do?" Yu Jing put down the book in her hand and said lightly.
"Meet Mr. Yu!" When Zhao Xun saw Yu Jing, he saluted respectfully.
As if he didn't see it, Yu Jing sat straight on the main seat and said lightly: "I can't bear this gift from Commander Zhao. I don't know what is the price for Commander Zhao to come here today?"
Seeing Yu Jing so arrogant, Han Meng and several guards were furious. If Zhao Xun hadn't repeatedly explained, he would have thrown this unreasonable guy out long ago.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "In the next two days, I know that my husband loves calligraphy and paintings, and I specially give them to him."
When Yu Jing heard this, his eyes lit up. Xie Wen of the previous dynasty was a master of calligraphy. He was good at writing, and even the emperors of the current dynasty regarded him as treasures. There were not many people circulating now.
"I can't bear the gift of the leader Zhao, but Yu can't bear it. Commander Zhao should just tell me the purpose of coming. I know that Commander Zhao has been in control of Yanzhou Prefecture recently, but he is very busy, and I guess he has no extra time and
I'll go around in circles."
Zhao Xun said: "Since that's the case, Zhao said it straight away. I hope Mr. Yu can contribute some efforts to the people of Yanzhou Prefecture."
Yu Jing looked at Zhao Xun and said disrespectfully: "Yu is an idle person. When Lord Zou was in charge of Yanzhou Prefecture, Yu was still powerless, let alone, Yanzhou Prefecture now has Commander Zhao in charge.
Yes. Yu has no power to tie a chicken."
"There is no power to tie a chicken, but Lord Yu is much more powerful than the first battalion captain who ordered the Thousand Army."
"How can Commander Zhao explain this?"
"Does Mr. Yu know that the scholars in Yanzhou Prefecture refuse to recruit?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Yu Jing said calmly.
Zhao Xun said: "This has nothing to do with Lord Yu, but I heard that Lord Yu's example of the scholars of Yanzhou Prefecture, and Lord Yu's words are better than the edicts of the governor's office."
Yu Jing said distractedly: "Is that so? That's everyone's love, but whether to respond to the call is their own wish. I did not stop it, and this matter has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Xun's smile gradually faded away, looking at Yu Jing and said, "It doesn't matter, but I hope Lord Yu can contribute to the people of Yanzhou Prefecture, let these scholars participate in the recruitment, and accelerate the stability of Yanzhou Prefecture."
Yu Jing said coldly: "Suppose Yu is powerless, how can I force others to do anything?"
Zhao Xun also said coldly: "Mr. Yu, if it weren't for my Huolin Army, what would happen to Yanzhou Prefecture now? If you are dissatisfied with me, where will the hundreds of thousands of people go to Yanzhou Prefecture? Without Yanzhou Prefecture
, My Huolin Army still traverses Youzhou, but without my Huolin Army, Yanzhou Prefecture will turn into nothingness under the iron hooves of the Marine Army. Lord Yu think about it carefully, Han Meng! Let's go! Let's seek fame and reputation
I don’t want to talk to him too much!”
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind two volumes of calligraphy and painting and a silent Yu Jing.
