Ji Ling thought for a moment, stood up, cupped his fists and said to Yuan Shu.
"Yongyi, please tell me if you have anything to say, no need to worry~"
"It is possible to organize and train militia groups, but all expenses must be borne by individuals. Each militiaman consumes a lot of salary, armor, weapons, and supplies. Now that the Yellow Turbans have been newly established, everything is waiting to be done, and every place is in need of people.
, it’s a bit of a waste to take out the strong and strong to form and train the militia now~”
Although Ji Ling is a military commander, he also knows a little about civil affairs. After all, he has been trained from the grassroots level.
"Hey Yongyi, what you said is true. I also know that the Yellow Turban is newly established, and everything is waiting for improvement. But time waits for no one. Chaos is coming, and no one can escape. Only the sharpest swords and spears can protect me in Changshan County.
peaceful."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shu's heart was filled with unconcealable mourning. The Yellow Turban Rebellion led to the decline of the people, the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony was even worse, Sima's seizure of Wei was another great purge, and then came the even more terrifying Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, where foreigners ravaged the Central Plains wantonly.
The Han people were almost exterminated.
The root of all this is here. If he wants to prevent such a thing from happening, the only thing he can do is to build an invincible army and sweep across the world. For the future of the Han nation, he will fight, fight, fight even if he has to bear the infamy of the world.
, whoever Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, he will defeat them all.
"Lord, even so, but,"
"There are no buts, it's settled. The new militia will be tentatively set at 10,000 people, and Wen Chou will be responsible for the training. They will have all the weapons and equipment, train diligently, and be ready for war at any time. At the same time, the new army of the militia will enjoy a half tax reduction.
preferential treatment, and those with outstanding performance will be exempted from taxes.”
"Issuing a land reclamation order, Changshan County accepts refugees from all over the country without restrictions. As long as the government is willing to open up wasteland, it will temporarily lease seeds, grain and other living materials to the refugees. Seeds for land reclamation of more than ten acres are free of charge, and living materials for land reclamation of more than 30 acres are free.
It is free of charge, and the current year's land tax for clearing more than fifty acres of wasteland will be exempted. At the same time, the entire population of the county must be re-registered, and all nobles and their vassals must be registered."
"When the farming order is issued, each county decides on the number of farming areas according to its population, and it is included in the official assessment scope."
"Issuing a recruitment order, I will recruit talents regardless of origin or past. They will be recruited based on their ability and merit. Even if you are stigmatized, I will treat everyone equally and ensure that you are rich and prosperous."
"Issuing an anti-corruption order, officials from all over the country who dare to commit corruption and accept bribes from the bottom up, no matter who they are, will be investigated and dealt with."
"The county magistrate's office has formed three inspection teams to inspect each county from time to time. If we encounter anyone who violates the rules, deceives superiors and subordinates, or is corrupt, we will immediately report and deal with them. We will never tolerate adultery."
Yuan Shu issued a series of orders. Ji Ling, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and even Linglong, who was responsible for pouring wine behind him, were stunned and looked stupid.
"My lord, once the recruitment order comes out, all the poor people in the world will fall into your hands~"
"My lord, you are wise."
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were military generals and descendants of poor families, so they naturally disagreed with the tactics and practices of the nobles, so they absolutely agreed 100% with Yuan Shu's recruitment order.
Ji Ling frowned after hearing this. He always felt that this would cause some bad consequences. Only Linglong noticed how big the wind and waves were lurking inside. No, this was not just wind and waves, it was simply an earthquake and a tsunami.
"Sir, what do you want to do? It's okay to organize and train militia groups, accept refugees, and farm and grow food, but if you want to register the population and recruit talents, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble~"
Registering the population is tantamount to extracting taxes from the nobles and robbing the population. The reason why these local big families can grow and develop is just by concealing the population and recruiting vassals. Now Yuan Shu wants to cut off their foundation. It would be surprising if these people don't explode.
Weird.
The same is true for the recruitment order. The current Han Dynasty is said to be the emperor's world, but it is better to say that it is the world of the gentry. From the imperial court to the three gongs and nine ministers to the county officials, no one is from the gentry. If a child from a poor family wants to climb the dragon gate, it is simply
It is more difficult than ascending to heaven, and it is precisely because the nobles control the power of the world that they can survive forever. Now Yuan Shu wants to snatch the power from their hands, which is simply digging their second foundation.
If we only count the registered population, the probability of them exploding is 50%, then if two of them come together, the probability of exploding will definitely reach 90%.
Ji Ling knew it right away. Linglong's words instantly made him break out in a cold sweat, wasn't it? It would be strange if they didn't blow up if they wanted to deduct money, power, and people from these nobles who eat people but don't spit out their bones.
"My lord, what Miss Linglong said is true, and everything else is fine. However, it is better to postpone the population registration and recruitment orders."
Hearing Linglong and Ji Ling both stop him, Yuan Shu realized that he had taken it for granted, but now he needed people and no money. If he wanted to develop and grow, some things must be done, and the recruitment order must be firm.
implement.
"Registering the population can be postponed, but all new refugees must be registered and managed by the government. If any noble family dares to accept them privately, don't blame me for being rude. The recruitment order is urgent and there is no room for negotiation, and it is not only in Changshan
The county will send people to spread the message of the governor's intention to recruit talents throughout the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty."
Looking at Yuan Shu's determined expression, Ji Ling and Linglong looked at each other. They could both see the worry in the other's heart, but that was all they could do now.
"No~"
"By the way, recruit me a group of people who can read and write. Their task is to read the orders issued by the Prefecture to the general public, so that everyone knows the meaning of the orders issued by the Prefecture."
"No~"
Watching Ji Ling and the others leave, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown.
Needless to say, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others are not as famous as Guan, Zhang and Zhao, but they are still famous generals. Otherwise, they would not have become the Four Pillars of Hebei under Yuan Shao. Ji Ling was also the number one general under Yuan Shu in the previous life.
The counselors themselves are really in short supply.
Not to mention such geniuses as Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, and Ju Shu, at least there must be someone who is slightly similar.
"It's so uncomfortable~"
He shook his head, ignored Linglong, and walked towards the inner room on his own.
Early the next morning, the officials of the Taishou Mansion took action and pasted the written orders of the Taishou on various bulletin boards in the Zhending Mansion.
Looking at the densely packed characters and the bright red seal of the prefect, people couldn't help but shake their heads. Why? Because they are illiterate.
"Master Xu is here~"
Upon hearing these words, the crowd automatically dispersed and saw an old man with a long beard slowly walking towards the bulletin board.
Mr. Xu's name is Xu Fan, and he is a teacher in a private school. In addition to teaching, he also writes family letters for those who are illiterate, so he is very respected by everyone in this area.
