When Wang Can returned to Hanzhong, he still didn't understand many things.
After leaving the room, Wang Can immediately sent someone to invite Cheng Yu to his house, and then walked back to the study.
About half an hour later, Cheng Yu hurriedly came to Wang Can's study.
Cheng Yu first bowed respectfully to Wang Can, then took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Can, and said: "My Lord, everything that happened in Hanzhong in the past four months has been recorded. Please check it, Lord."
"
Wang Can nodded, opened the bamboo slip, and read it carefully.
The things Cheng Yu wrote down were very detailed and nothing was missed.
After reading it, Wang Can nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed right to leave Cheng Yu in Hanzhong. With a smile on his face, he said: "Gong Zhongde, after several months of development, Hanzhong's sources of troops and food and grass have been obtained."
We have received huge supplies, and the situation is already very good. However, it is already March in spring, and the people are busy with spring plowing. I wonder what the situation is like for the people?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Yu has already arranged the spring plowing matters, so there is no need to worry, my lord."
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Spring plowing is related to the people's harvest in the first half of the year. Let's go and see the countryside."
"promise!"
Cheng Yu was very happy when he saw that Wang Can valued farming.
If you blindly lead soldiers to fight, it can only be said to be militancy. In the end, the people will be poor and the government will suffer from many ills. Therefore, we must first ensure that the people have food to eat and clothes to wear. Only then can the people live and work in peace and contentment. Only then can Wang Can lay the foundation for good governance.
The cornerstone of rise.
"Lord, please!"
Cheng Yu waved his hand, signaling Wang Can to go first.
Wang Can was not polite and walked out of the study first, and the two of them left the governor's mansion one after the other.
Although Wang Can traveled lightly, he also had strict protection measures. When Wang Can and Cheng Yu left in a carriage, Wang Yue also sent someone to protect Wang Can's safety. The two sat in the carriage and left quickly
After arriving at Nanzheng City, we rushed out of the city. If we want to understand the situation of the people, we can only find out by going deep among the people.
After leaving the city, the carriage stopped.
Cheng Yu and Wang Can got off the carriage and walked towards the countryside fields one after the other.
Behind Wang Can, there was a warrior wearing black clothes and carrying a black iron sword to protect Wang Can's safety.
In the farmland, people wearing coarse linen clothes and holding whips in their hands were urging their cattle to plow the fields and loosen the soil. All the people were busy and enthusiastic, showing a lively atmosphere. Cheng Yu looked at the scene in front of him and said:
"My lord, only Shuzhong and Jingzhou have such scenes. The princes of the Central Plains are attacking each other, wars are frequent, and the people are suffering!"
Wang Can nodded and said: "Yes, the current situation is hard-won, so we must cherish it."
As he spoke, Wang Can walked towards the farmland.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "My lord, the road in the field is difficult and rugged, so don't go down it!"
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
After saying that, Wang Can jumped into the farmland on the path and walked towards his father-in-law who was plowing the fields. The father-in-law saw that Wang Can was wearing brocade clothes and a handsome face. He was obviously a rich man. This rich man walked towards him.
, the old man was suddenly startled, with a look of fear in his eyes.
"Old man, can I try?"
Wang Can looked expectant, with a novel look in his eyes.
It was his first time touching this thing and his hands were a little itchy.
When the old man heard Wang Can speak, his heart suddenly relaxed. The rich man was so idle that he ran to the farmland to pass the time. A smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, and he handed over the whip and plowing tools in his hand.
Wang Can held it in his hands and explained it to Wang Can again before letting Wang Can plow the fields.
As long as this rich man doesn't cause trouble, that's fine.
Plowing the fields is not something that ordinary people can persist in. This rich man will leave after playing for a while. As expected, after a quarter of an hour, Wang Can can no longer continue.
"This farm work is really not done by humans."
Wang Can muttered a few words and asked: "Old man, how was the harvest at the end of last year?"
The old man shook his head and sighed: "Well, thanks to God's blessing, the harvest is okay. It's a pity that Su Gu collected it all." At this point, the old man's old face showed an unwilling look, and he worked hard.
After a year, most of the food was taken away by Su Gu, so he felt very uncomfortable.
Wang Can frowned when he heard this, and asked: "Old man, in this case, spring plowing has started now, does the old man have enough food at home?"
After hearing this, the expression on the old man's face became vivid.
The old man said excitedly: "God opened my eyes. Su Gu was taken care of by the new prefect. Although life was very tight last year, the new prefect was so good. He actually distributed food to us, and also provided us with seeds and cattle for spring plowing."
It is provided by the government. With such an official, the life of the common people will be easier. As long as the harvest is good this year, they will be able to live a good life."
After Wang Can heard this, he looked at Cheng Yu with a grateful look in his eyes.
These are all due to Cheng Yu.
He led troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and left all the governance of Hanzhong to Cheng Yu. Wang Can never worried about it. From the old man's words, it can be heard that Cheng Yu spent a lot of effort on the governance of Hanzhong.
"Zhongde Gong, let's go!"
Wang Can got the answer and a smile appeared on his face.
The two left one after another and returned to the carriage. Wang Can said: "Mr. Zhongde, what is the tax rate now?"
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, since Emperor Ling restored the state pastoralism, all states in the world have assumed military and political power, which has caused changes in the tax rates in various places. There are fifteen taxes per one, ten taxes per one, and five taxes per...
…Some even raise the tax rate even higher. When Su Gu was the prefect of Hanzhong, the tax rate was five taxes and one tax, which was quite high."
After Wang Can heard this, he said: "Five taxes and one tax are indeed very high. How is Zhong De Gong going to deal with it?"
Cheng Yu said: "The people urgently need to recuperate and recuperate, so the tax rate should be lowered."
After thinking for a while, Cheng Yu said: "My lord, you have robbed Dong Zhuo of four thousand boxes. The money in them is enough for my lord to buy food and expand the army. Yu suggested that my lord implement a fifteen-year tax, lower the tax rate, attract refugees, and let the surrounding people
The refugees came to Hanzhong to open up wasteland and strengthen Hanzhong's strength."
"Tax one for fifteen?"
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhong De, after you go back, you will issue a decree that the tax rate for all people in Hanzhong will be adjusted to one tax per fifteen."
Cheng Yu said seriously: "My lord's kindness is really a blessing to the people!"
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "The king is the boat; the common people are the water. Water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat. The people are the foundation of the country. If the people cannot survive, even if Hanzhong's soldiers are brave, it will be a castle in the air.
We cannot stand on our own. If we want to stand on the ground in troubled times, we need the support of the people."
Cheng Yu said: "My lord is wise!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Mr. Zhongde, I want to farm, what does Mr. Zhongde think?"
Cheng Yu said: "Tuntian has been around since ancient times, and there are many wastelands in Hanzhong, so it is not inevitable for them to do so."
Wang Can nodded and said with a smile: "Gong Zhongde, since you said it is feasible, then I will leave the farming matter to you. Except for the elite soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao, Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, the Hanzhong soldiers are at your disposal.
"
Cheng Yu's face turned bitter. Farming is not a simple matter. Unexpectedly, Wang Can was thrown down directly.
However, for Hanzhong, farming is the best way to ensure food supply.
When the two returned to Nanzheng City, Wang Can said: "Zhongde Gong, now that you have seen the farming in the countryside, let's take a look at the market in the city. In four months, the changes in Hanzhong are gratifying!"
Cheng Yu was immediately startled and said: "My lord, there are many dragons and snakes in the market, and there are many religions and schools, so you should go back home!"
Wang Can shook his head and said: "This is Hanzhong, what is there to be afraid of?"
Cheng Yu smiled helplessly, Wang Can would really give him problems, but Wang Can had no choice but to bite the bullet.
A group of three people got off the carriage and walked towards the market.
