"Xu'er, you're crazy," Huang Ang shouted at Huang Xu: "Get back here quickly and stop making trouble."
But Huang Xu turned a deaf ear to his father's shouts. He just raised his neck and looked at Zhou Xing intently.
Zhou Xing's heart tightened, an unknown premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, and he said coldly: "What crime did Guo Gui commit?"
"Guo Gui harms husbands and dominates wives and daughters. I hope the Lord will understand and make decisions for the common people."
Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, who is fifty-six years old this year, is playing chess with a man in his early thirties in the back garden. This man is called Yan Shi, who fled from Yongzhou with Li Xiang.
Refugees who came over. Their Yan family is from Fufeng County, Yongzhou. His father once served as the governor of Yongliang and the Qin Dynasty Military Fufeng Wang Huangfujun. He had several acquaintances with Luo Shang, who was the king of Qi Huangfu.
.
Yan Shi did not know Li Xiang at first. One of them was from Yongzhou and the other was from Qinzhou. On the way to Hanzhong, more than a hundred households led by Yan Shi met Li Xiang, who was also going to Hanzhong. The two met each other.
, and they became close friends. Yan Shi admired Li Xiang from the bottom of his heart for his magnanimity and fairness, and Li Xiang also admired Yan Shi from the bottom of his heart for his resourcefulness. However, they did not stay long in Hanzhong, and Yan Shi suggested that Li Xiang lead everyone through the
Pass through Jiange Pass and head to Shu.
At that time, the Jin Dynasty had an order that the refugees in the Yong and Qin states could only beg for food in Hanzhong and could not cross Jiange Pass. But this did not trouble Yan Shi. After Shi Li Fu, the special envoy sent by the imperial court to investigate the situation of the refugees, arrived in Hanzhong,
Yan Shi immediately found Li Fu and gave Li Fu a large amount of property, but Li Fu wrote a letter saying that there were so many refugees that Hanzhong alone could not support them. So, the imperial court issued another order to allow the refugees to cross Jiange.
Pass and enter Shu territory.
When crossing the Jiange Pass, when he saw the steep mountains towering into the clouds on both sides and the narrow mountain road where only a few people could pass, Li Xiang sighed: "There is such a dangerous pass, and the Empress of Shu Han is actually tied to the face of others."
, He is really a mediocre person." After Yan Shi heard this, he made up his mind to assist Li Xiang. As for the subsequent defeat of Liu Fu and Chang Jun's army, and the counterattack against Zhao Min who wanted to separate Yizhou, it was all because of Yan Shi's suggestion.
"Your Majesty," Yan Shi said to Li Xiang a few days ago at the refugee camp in Mianzhu: "The King of Qi is monopolizing the government by expelling his relatives. This move is like laying eggs and will not last long. From Yan's point of view, there will be further chaos in China.
As the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of Yong and Qin states, the King of Hejian was bound to be involved. Yizhou is remote, and the wars in the middle of the country will not be affected here. What's more, there are natural dangers in Jiange and Jiameng, so it is more than enough to protect oneself. Therefore
, since we people have left our homeland and gone through all kinds of hardships to come to this land of abundance, we cannot go back no matter what."
"I know what you are saying, but the imperial court has already ordered you and I to wait for the refugees to return home. The new governor of Yizhou, Luohou, is shrewd and capable, and cannot be compared to Zhao Min. How can you and I still fight against the powerful imperial court?
No?" Li Xiang said with a worried look on his face.
"It all depends on people." Yan Shi said: "King Qi's position is unstable. Not only you and I can see it, but everyone with discerning eyes in the world can see it. The Marquis of Luo is no exception. Yan is not talented and is willing to go to Chen Yao alone to test Luo
Hou Koufeng, let’s see what this Luo Hou is planning. In this case, it’s not too late for us to respond.”
After Yan Shi arrived at Chen Yao, he sent generous gifts and finally got the opportunity to meet Luo Shang.
Luo Shang naturally knew the purpose of Yan Shi's visit. After meeting, he did not talk about the refugee issue at all. He only talked about old times with Yan Shi. He chatted here and there, asking about the customs of Yong and Qin Dynasties, and chatting about what he had experienced along the way. Both of them were knowledgeable.
After chatting for a long time, Luo Shang was very happy, and he invited Yan Shi to play a few games.
The dignified governor of the state invited him, how could Yan Shi refuse? The two sides made rapid moves at first, but by the middle of the game, the black and white sides were still evenly matched. When the battle between the two reached its peak, Luo Shang was seen holding a black one.
After thinking about the chess for a long time, he just landed this piece. This move immediately connected the middle game with the two black pieces at the bottom. The situation was immediately advantageous.
Yan Shi laughed loudly, then admitted defeat and said: "What a great use of strength to get ahead of the situation, Master Jun's move is so perfect that he can do it in seconds. I admire him very much."
How could Luo Shang not hear the underlying meaning of Yan Shi's words? He smiled calmly and said: "It's easy to draw on strength in the game, but it's not easy to be outside."
Hearing this, Yan Shi was overjoyed and said respectfully: "I wonder what kind of external force your Majesty would like to borrow? But there are instructions. Even if we, the refugees, go through fire and water, we will fight to the death and move forward."
Luo Shang nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that the imperial court has ordered you to leave. What can I do?"
"This matter is not difficult." Yan Shi immediately added without hesitation: "Theoretically speaking, we refugees should still be managed by the Yuan Territory instead of Yizhou and Liangzhou. Your Excellency only needs to state in the table that the refugees hope that the government of the original territory can
If we send people to greet us, won't this hot potato be handed over to someone else?"
"Hahahahaha," Luo Shang laughed loudly when he heard Yan Shi's plan: "I have heard that Fufeng Yan Shi is very resourceful. Today, when we meet him, it is indeed better to meet him than to be famous."
At this moment, a person came in from the outside. It seemed that this person had a handsome face and a tall and tall figure. He looked very handsome, but he was not that Jordan.
"My son-in-law, Jordan, has met my father-in-law." Jordan came in and saluted Luo Shang first. He had originally fallen in love with Wang Tianyun at Jiange Pass that day, but he didn't expect that Wang Tianyun had already been married to her husband, so you can imagine how disappointed he felt.
.But he didn’t expect that Luo Shang, the new governor who had just arrived here, would take a fancy to him and marry his youngest daughter to him. These days were not very happy.
"Deng'er, what are you doing here?" After watching Yan Shi retire, Luo Shang asked Jordan, twirling his beard.
"Father-in-law, please read this," Jordan said while presenting the document in his hand to Luo Shang: "The Marquis Bodaoting who killed Shen Xiu has made another big news."
"What, after establishing schools, building medicine, and developing commerce, what big actions has this Marquis of Gaoting taken?" Luo Shang smiled. A few days ago, he had listened to the people below reporting on Zhou Xing's events in Bodao, and he was worried about it in his heart.
The Tinghou who killed Shen Xiu was very interested.
"Haha," Jordan couldn't tell how he felt about Zhou Xing, but he felt a little happy when he saw him make a fool of himself, "This Marquis Ting tried two cases and almost made a big mistake.
, he wanted to sentence two people to death in public. And of these two, one was a monk, and the other was actually his right-hand man given to him by the Wang family of Jinyang. How could he, a little Tinghou, be qualified to sentence people to death? It was simply
You are ignorant and incompetent! This is a document sent by the prefect of Jianwei County for your approval."
"Oh." Luo Shang listened to Jordan's words and carefully looked at the events described in the document. For him who has experienced countless storms, things like Hu E's and Guo Gui's are really ordinary and cannot arouse his interest.
Anger or interest.
Luo Shang's father and grandfather were both famous officials of the Shu Shang Dynasty. When the Shu Shang Dynasty perished, his father waited until the surrender edict from the emperor of the Shu Shang Dynasty arrived before he led his people to surrender to the then Great Zhou Dynasty. Luo Shang himself had been famous since he was a child.
It is said that when the Jin Dynasty conquered Wu, Wang Rong hired Luo Shang to join the army. After conquering Wu, he served as the long history of Qi Wang Huangfu You, and then let the states and counties go. He had rich experience.
This time he was appointed as the governor of Yizhou. On the surface, he wanted to solve the refugee problem in Yizhou and Liangzhou. In fact, Qi Wang Huangfujiang also gave him a secret edict, asking him to re-implement the implementation in Yizhou that his father had wanted to implement.
an initiative.
Re-measure the spiritual fields and restore the Great Yin mine field system!
The content of this measure is very simple: strictly in accordance with the laws of the Jin Dynasty, a male monk is entitled to ten acres of spiritual land, and a female monk is entitled to seven acres of spiritual land. The Marquis of Guannei is entitled to fifty acres of spiritual land, and the Marquis of Ting is entitled to fifty acres of spiritual land.
One hundred acres, the township marquis enjoys 300 acres, the county marquis enjoys 1,000 acres, the county prince enjoys 2,000 acres, and the county king enjoys 10,000 acres. As for the excess spiritual land after the distribution is completed, the states and counties will be unified according to the previous Da Yin
Wellfield system management.
As the long history of Huangfu You, the king of Qi, Luo Shang personally participated in this reform plan. However, Huangfu You was never able to get his wish and become the assistant minister. These measures have been shelved.
In Luo Shang's view, this measure will completely change the disordered situation since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There will no longer be any land annexation issues. Everyone in the world will have their own land. When there are few spiritual fields in prefectures and counties, more taxes will be collected, and when there are many spiritual fields
, Shaozheng Fu. In this way, it is just around the corner to recreate the prosperous age of the Great Yin Dynasty for 800 years.
It was just that Emperor Wu of Jin Huangfuyan was afraid that King Huangfuyou of Qi would be too popular after implementing these measures, so he kept suppressing them and insisted that King Qi return to the fiefdom of Qi. Huangfuyan's wishful thinking was to wait until his grandson
When Huangfu Yu came to power, he implemented this policy to bring the reputation of the Huangfu family to a higher level.
Of course, everyone who knows about these secret reforms is also aware of the pressure and resistance faced by the implementation of this policy. It is common for people to occupy spiritual lands in various places, and underreporting is even more common.
The reason why Luo Shang did not order the immediate repatriation of immigrants was precisely because he considered this problem and wanted to use the external force of refugees.
However, it is really difficult to find the person to implement it.
Until he saw the paperwork Jordan sent over about Zhou Xing.
"It's really hard to find a place after wearing iron shoes, but it didn't take any effort to get it." Luo Shang raised his eyebrows and said with joy in his heart: "This Zhou Xing, who is not interested in personal interests, has no worries in Yizhou and has a famous name. How can he not do it?"
That’s the person I’m looking for!”
The key to government is to recruit people. Luo Shang has not taken any action because he has not found the right candidate.
In Luo Shang's heart, this policy is beneficial to the country and the people. As long as it can be implemented, he will definitely be remembered in the history of the future and be passed down for future generations. When he thinks of this, he is already in his fifties.
I couldn't help but feel the surge of pride in my chest, and I couldn't help but whisper in my mouth the poem that was widely circulated by Emperor Wu of Zhou:
The old man is brave and ambitious, but his ambition is thousands of miles.
In his old age, the martyr is full of ambition.
"Deng'er, go down and tell everyone in charge that you will come to the mansion on time at Mao tomorrow to discuss matters."
Over the past few days, Jordan's mood has been on a roller coaster. From being full of enthusiasm at the beginning, to feeling helpless and depressed in the past few days.
Ever since that day when Luo Shang summoned officials from the Yizhou Department to explain his plan, it immediately caused an uproar. Even if Luo Shang took out the emperor's edict, he still could not stop everyone's opposition.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Wang Jie did such a thing in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, which cost him his own life and reputation. Your Majesty, you must stop." Lu Qiang, who worked in Yizhou, objected first.
"In those days, Wang Jie, regardless of the virtuous, all had equal land, and there was no distinction between high and low, and there was no example of reward or punishment." Qi Wang Huangfu You and others had studied Wang Jie's restructuring in detail back then, and naturally had detailed responses to this. Jordan was precisely because of this.
He especially appreciated Luo Shang's restructuring, and was recruited as his son-in-law by Luo Shang. At this time, Luo Shang was unable to speak, so naturally he was the one to argue with the soldiers. "In the new measures, different titles have different land entitlements, which is exactly for this reason."
Disadvantages. Through this difference, monks all over the world know that only by making meritorious service to the court can they receive additional rewards. This is not the current Linlu system inherited from the Zhou Dynasty. This Linlu system only encourages everyone to practice for themselves.
Instead of encouraging everyone to contribute to the court."
"In the past, Master Dong once said that those who live on a salary should not compete with the people for profit. If you turn your private fields into well fields, wouldn't you be competing with the people for profit?" The man who said this had a square face and a wide mouth, and was very rich. Qiao
I looked up and saw that it was Yizhou who was engaged in Ma Long.
"What a fallacy Ma Zheng said." Jordan retorted confidently: "It is the wealthy families who occupy a large number of spiritual fields who compete with the people for profits. After the excess spiritual fields are turned into well fields, the income is still used by the states and counties.
, how can we compete with the people for profit?”
"But every family's spiritual field is private property inherited from their ancestors. If the state and county implement this policy, what is the difference between them and bandits?" Ma Long continued to say with a blushing face.
"Each family's private property?" Jordan sneered a few times and said, "May I ask Mr. Ma, are the spiritual fields of your family owned by the Ma family since ancient times? Your ancestors of the Ma family were from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and they followed Shu.
The First Lord Shang came to Shu. Since your grandfather, you have been here for only three generations, and you already have more than a thousand acres of spiritual land. I dare to ask Ma Zheng, are these thousands of acres of spiritual land inherited from your ancestors?
"
Jordan's direct question made Ma Long's face even redder. After hesitating for a while, he said angrily: "Your Qiao family has lost its spiritual field? But you still talk about my Ma family."
"This is exactly one of the things I want to say." Jordan, standing proudly in a green robe, said loudly and loudly on the spot: "There must be someone who starts this reform. If this is the case, then please start with our Qiao family."
After Jordan said those words with high spirits, tragedy struck. When he led a group of people to his hometown in Shu County, he was blocked by his father who came after hearing the news.
on the road.
"Today you can either return to me immediately and resign from this position, or you can step over my body." Jordan's father, Qiao Lian, held a sword on his neck and said to Jordan, "Deng'er, you
This is going to be the road of being a merchant of Chao House. Instead of our whole Qiao family being in trouble, it is better for me to die in front of you today."
Naturally, Jordan did not dare to let his father commit suicide in front of him. Amid the laughter of the onlookers, he reluctantly returned to Chen Yao.
"If Zhou Xing were to deal with this matter, what method would he take?" Just when he was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, he suddenly thought of Zhou Xing, who he had chatted with several times.
