Emperor Wei nodded and agreed: "What Zhang Aiqing said is absolutely true. The prince-in-law's move not only created opportunities for the reform of Hebei, but also created huge opportunities for the reform of the Wei Dynasty. We must take advantage of this opportunity to let the wind of reform sweep across
The Wei Dynasty asked the officials in various states and counties to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and let them go from being obedient and disobeying the situation to actively cooperating."
In fact, whether it is official reform or land reform, it is not difficult in itself. What is difficult is the degree of cooperation between officials and officials.
If the officials do not cooperate, no matter how good the reform is, it will have no meaning.
Therefore, reform revolves around officials.
As long as officials cooperate, both political reform and land reform will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Qin Yu really grasped the key to reform this time.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Wei looked at Zhang Zian and continued: "Zhang Aiqing, it is up to you to handle this matter. After the news of Hebei's reform spread to all the states and counties in the Great Wei Dynasty, the government orders arrived one after another, and the officials of the states, counties and counties were asked to
Be mentally prepared, change your mind, and correct your evil ways."
Zhang Zian stepped forward and bowed, "I accept my order."
Hebei's reform was getting better and better, which gave Emperor Wei a reassurance and also gave a reassurance to all the civil and military officials in the palace.
Nowadays, with Qin Yu's promotion, the Wei Dynasty is flourishing and the future is promising.
...
It was early October in the fourth year of the Longsheng Period.
The weather is getting colder.
Hebei, Beiling City.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan were listening to music in the front hall of the prefect's mansion.
Li Su came from outside the hall, stepped forward and saluted: "Prince-in-law, the governors, county magistrates and gentry from all counties in Hebei Prefecture have almost arrived. They are all waiting to see you in the city now."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. After noon, when the weather is warmer, I will meet them. The place will be in the square in front of Beiling City Government Office. Let's do this in front of the people."
Many officials and landowners had come long ago, asking to see Qin Yu, but Qin Yu never saw him.
Now that he is the leader, these people have to listen to him. Qin Yu must take them and let them know that this opportunity is hard-won.
"Yes, Prince Consort." Li Su saluted and then left the front hall.
Shen Binglan couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed ability that could change the reform to Qin Yu's level.
All these officials and landowners came to plead guilty.
The main reason is that Qin Yu is smart. He first showed these people his abilities and methods, and then used a gentle policy, and the effect came out immediately.
After Li Su left.
Qin Yu leaned on the couch and continued listening to music.
He knew that most of Hebei's reforms had been completed so far.
Although he has been here for so long, he has never done anything related to reform.
But people's hearts have been determined.
...
Hebei Prefecture.
Beiling City, Fuya Square.
Noon.
The sky is bright.
The square was divided into three queues, one for the prefect, one for officials below the prefect, and one for the landlords and gentry.
Then there are the people who are surrounding to watch the fun.
Qin Yu is going to have a public trial today.
However, Qin Yu did not simply want to be executed publicly. He mainly wanted to make this matter bigger and make everyone aware of it.
Officials and landowners stood in the square, trembling, not knowing what fate they were about to face.
On the contrary, the people around him looked relaxed and happy.
"Look at the officials and landlords in this square. There are no good people. They have all made mistakes and took the initiative to find the Prince Consort to be given a lighter punishment. It is really shameless."
"Just these few people in the square control 80% of the land and wealth of Hebei Prefecture. It's really sad..."
"This time, it's all thanks to the prince consort and the prince. We caught corrupt officials, divided the land, and reduced taxes...everything was done for the sake of the people. It's really a blessing for our people that the Wei Dynasty can have such a prince and prince. ah!"
"What's this? I heard that the prince-in-law will give us food for the winter and lean years. He is really thinking about us people."
.......
When Qin Yu and Xiao Nan are mentioned, everyone gives them a thumbs up.
This time, the political and agricultural reforms in Hebei Prefecture have really changed the hearts of the people.
at the same time.
Qin Yu, Xiao Nan led Chen Zhen and other officials from outside the square and walked to the wooden platform in the square.
The eyes of officials, landlords and common people all fell on Qin Yu.
The people were naturally excited and excited, and looked at Qin Yu with eyes full of reverence and gratitude.
Officials and landowners became a little panicked.
moment.
Qin Yu stood on the wooden platform, glanced at the officials and landowners in the square, and said in a deep voice: "You know why I asked you to come to Beiling City, and you also know in your hearts what bad things you have done. So I will keep the story short."
"You take the initiative to confess your sins. I like it very much. But if you are dishonest, I will be unhappy. You should all know my temper. You should also know how the governor of Beiling County and the Bai family were beheaded. "
As he spoke, he looked at the group of landowners and gentry and said loudly: "The land reform in the Wei Dynasty is imperative. No one can change this. You can only cooperate. The specific things are very simple."
"One: You must take out all the land and sell it to the court, and the court will distribute the land to the people. The court will pay back 60% of the money, which will be paid off in six years, and 10% per year. The people will pay back 40%, divided into 40%. You must pay it off every year, starting from the second year of harvest. This is not a consultation with you but a notice, and the price is set by the court."
Hearing this, all the landowners beamed with joy.
"They say that the Prince Consort is a living Bodhisattva, and now it turns out that he is truly worthy of his reputation. I thought that this land was taken away from us for free."
"Yes, then we are too content. If so, we would be willing to hand over the land."
“I just don’t know how much money I can get for this acre of land.”
.......
The landowners were whispering to each other and discussing a lot.
See them like this.
Qin Yu's eyes sank and he lowered his gaze and said, "But don't be too happy too soon. I'm talking about those whose circumstances are minor and whose mistakes can be made up for by reducing their crimes."
"If you commit serious crimes, let alone giving you money, your whole house will be confiscated, and your people will be sent to prison."
Qin Yu still has this principle. It is impossible for them to come to Beiling City and be freed from all responsibilities.
Those who deserve to beheaded, Qin Yu will also chop off their heads.
Listen to Qin Yu's words.
The landlords' faces, which had been smiling just now, suddenly fell.
They knew that the prince-in-law was not so easy to talk to.
However, they have also been mentally prepared. Otherwise, if they do not cooperate with the Prince Consort, it will not be worth it for the three clans to sit together.
