Fusu said:

"That's wrong."

"Right now, local people are complaining and angry. If the government does nothing and just watches the local land annexation worsen, it will really harm the country and the people. I strongly promote the new land policy because I want to quickly alleviate the people's resentment."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Besides."

"I know what the official is thinking. You don't want the local power to grow bigger, but I can assure you that when the north and south borders stabilize, the imperial court will definitely start to clean up the local ruts. By then, whether it is the originally prominent Qu or Zhao,

The Jing family and the Xiang family will all be punished by the government."

"Let them run rampant for a while."

"The local tycoons prey on the common people and do evil. These heinous criminals not only committed evil in land annexation, but also committed evil in other aspects. Da Qin's laws are strict, and when the imperial court frees up its hands, they will be brought to justice one by one.

Law."

"The chief official asked you to worry too much."

Xiao He was silent.

He already knew in his heart that Fusu had not sorted out the interests and harms at all. Fusu believed that the Xiang family was also evil in other ways, but as a noble, how could the Xiang family be a brainless person? The land they occupied was nominally owned by the Xiang family.

On the other side, these people have a clean background and have no evil deeds at all.

It is currently legal to annex land.

And it was still recognized by the court.

Even if the imperial court catches Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo who are on the run, they cannot get back these lands according to law. The nominal ownership of these lands is indeed owned by the Xiang family, but it does not belong to the Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo clans, unless the imperial court forcibly claims it back.

, otherwise these lands will always belong to the Xiang family.

If the imperial court demands land by force, it will be destroying itself.

He originally thought that Fusu came because he saw the dangers of the new land policy, so he chose such a radical suggestion. He never thought that Fusu still took it for granted and didn't listen at all. He still went his own way and didn't even realize it.

The dangers of the new land administration.

He didn't want to say any more.

It's quiet all around.

The summer heat invades through the open door, and you can still hear the rising and falling wind, but the sound of the wind seems a bit desolate.

Fusu did not say anything more about the new land policy.

He has his own ideas.

From beginning to end, he never felt that he was wrong.

The people need fields and food and clothing, and his trip is to solve these problems.

The fierce local annexation cannot be solved overnight. At present, all the local powerful people and noble families have submitted the deeds for land annexation. When the court is free, based on these annexation deeds, they can conduct strict investigations one by one and deal with them one by one, and then let everyone

The fields were returned to the people.

What's the problem?

And Xiao He was very outspoken and dared to remonstrate directly to his face, which he also admired very much.

Fusu said: "I think Lord Xiao's speech is extraordinary, but he comes from a family of hundreds of scholars? Or does he come from family studies? Or private studies in the past?"

Xiao He cupped his hands and said: "I went to private school for a few years, then entered the academy, studied for a few more years, and then entered the local government and started working as an official."

"How was the plan in previous years?" Fusu asked.

There was a hint of hesitation on Xiao He's face, and then he said cautiously: "The official name is 'Wen Wuhai', and in terms of death history, he is the number one in Sishui County."

There was a hint of surprise in Fusu's eyes.

Wen Wuhai was highly praised by officials.

Wen Wuhai means that he is not only proficient in laws and regulations, but also very kind when interpreting and implementing them, and he performs official duties to a level that no one can describe. The key point is that Xiao He is not only Wen Wuhai, he also got the first place in the Sishui County Administrator's Evaluation

one.

That is to say, not only the business ability is strong, but also the administrative ability is strong.

This is extraordinary.

Before Fusu came to Pei County, he specifically asked about Xiao He's situation.

Xiao He had never gone out to study in the past, and before Qin destroyed Chu, he didn't even know Qin Seal. In just a few years, Xiao He not only taught himself Qin Seal and law, but also reached the top level in all aspects.

This ability is really amazing!

Fusu couldn't help but glance at Xiao He.

Fusu asked curiously: "With your talent, you should not just serve as a chief official. Why have you been staying in Peixian County and not been promoted?"

Xiao He kept silent.

Seeing this, Fusu frowned, then seemed to think of something, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He basically guessed the reason.

Since the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it has been very wary of the original officials in the six regions. The chief officials of each county, such as the county guards, county captains, county magistrates, county lieutenants, and censors, are basically held by the old Qin people. As for the officials in the six regions,

Former officials can basically only serve as assistant officials.

Fusu stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Great Qin is ashamed of waiting for you."

Xiao He also bowed quickly: "The officials have no complaints. The world has not been unified for a long time. It is indeed necessary to act with caution. There is nothing wrong with what the imperial court does."

Fusu said in a deep voice: "When I return to the court, I will tell my father about this injustice. The world has been renewed, so there should be no distinction between the old and the new. All the people in the world are Qin people, and they should be treated equally.

Then there is the distinction between closeness and distance."

"Young Master is benevolent and righteous," Xiao He said.

Fusu sat back on the table and asked, "I heard from the county officials that Chief Xiao has never left Sishui County before?"

Xiao He nodded.

Fu Su said, "I wonder if Mr. Xiao would be interested in accompanying me to Xianyang?"

Xiao He was stunned.

Fusu said: "In mid-August, a grand meeting of scholars will be held in Xianyang. The theme is 'civilized governance.'

At that time, wise men and celebrities from hundreds of schools of thought will all gather in Xianyang."

"Since Chief Xiao has a heart to love the people, why not go and watch it in person?"

Xiao He's mind moved slightly.

But there was still a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

He is the chief official of Peixian County. In August, it is almost time for the calculation. He goes back and forth, but it takes a long time. I am afraid that there will be a lot of official business in the county.

Think for a moment.

He still declined politely.

Xiao He said: "Thank you very much for your kindness, sir. It's just that the county is busy with official business, but I am a little bit unable to get away. I'm afraid that I can't accompany you to Xianyang. Please forgive me."

Fusu smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter."

"It's still early in mid-August. It won't be too late for Chief Xiao to make a decision by then. If you don't go to this grand gathering of scholars from all over the world, it may become a lifelong regret."

Xiao He said: "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

Fusu nodded.

Xiao He stood up from his seat, bowed on the spot and stayed for a while, then turned and walked towards the door. After taking two steps, he suddenly heard Fusu's voice again.

Fusu said: "

"I will report what you said to my father."

"The new policy currently implemented in Surabaya County is only used by the court as a pilot. If the attempt really fails, it may be abolished."

Xiao He was startled for a moment.

Then he bent down and slowly walked out of the lobby.

outside the house.

The sun is shining brightly and is already a bit scorching.

...

Jiuyuan County.

The 300,000 troops led by Meng Tian were stationed in northern Xinjiang, far away from the Huns' cavalry.

At this time.

Several flying scouts rushed into the camp.
