After reading the secret decree, it took a long time before Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, and Qin Wen stood up and bowed to Han Daoxun: "I don't know how loyal you are, and your words have been offensive in the past. Please forgive me."
Han Daoxun laughed and said: "If Ruogu and mediocre people only know flattery, Daoxun, I will be really disappointed. It's just that I couldn't control the situation in the past and was worried that the four surnames wouldn't be able to get along, so I kept the secret and didn't tell Ruogu."
, I also ask Ruogu not to blame me, father and son."
"How dare you!" Xue Ruogu said with a look of shame, "Your Excellency and Han Sima are the best in the imperial court. If Gu didn't mess up the plans of Your Excellency and Han Sima, it would be a great luck."
"It has already entered autumn. The imperial court will send more troops to Ezhou at any time to cut down the enemy. Xuzhou must also prepare to send troops northward from Yuanshui as quickly as possible," Han Daoxun said, "We have discussed with Mr. Zhang
, until the imperial edict reaches Xuzhou, I would also like to ask Ruogu to temporarily act as the chief historian, and invite Mr. Li and Mr. Qin to go to Langxi and Tanyang to preside over the county affairs!"
The Feng family has been disintegrated, and Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili, and Xi Xunqiao led the crowd to surrender, which means that the military and political power of Xuzhou has been completely separated from the hands of the four native surnames.
The forces of the Xiang family, the Yang family, and the Xuzhou Xi family are mainly distributed in Tanyang County and the southern part of Langxi County. Li Tang and Qin Wen can serve as magistrates of Tanyang and Langxi counties as quickly as possible.
These two counties promoted new policies such as land tax reform and unified local and guest registration to raise military supplies and more soldiers for Syria Prefecture to send troops in winter.
The governor's history has the responsibility of assisting the governor in supervising the civil affairs of the Cao Cao, and is also the key to advancing the New Deal in depth and conducting in-depth governance of Xuzhou.
Xue Ruogu previously served as the chief secretary of the state government and once assisted Han Daoxun in handling state affairs. He is competent in this aspect.
Although Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, and Qin Wen had been watching with cold eyes for more than half a year, they were aware of many new policies, but they did not expect that the Han family and his son would implement the new policies to do their best to prepare for the future of Tanzhou.
The war only deeply tapped the military potential of Syria.
The banquet is cold, but people's hearts are warm.
Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili, and Xi Xunqiao were willing to cooperate proactively. Han Qian thought of first moving more than 2,000 direct descendants and close relatives of these three families to Qianyang, Zhongfang, and Linjiang counties for resettlement.
In order to reassure them, Han Qian will use the more than 30,000 acres of newly cultivated grain fields in Linjiang, China, in the past two months to replace their fields and houses in Tanyang and Langxi.
"In order to prevent the three surnames from becoming a hidden danger again, should we consider dividing the more than 2,000 people with the three surnames of Xiang, Yang, and Xi into households and divide the fields and houses equally?" Han Qian said.
Local tycoon clans are extremely powerful and are closely related to the patriarchal tradition of inheritance by the legitimate son, inheritance of official titles and property by the eldest son. They divide the family and analyze the property, even including the concubines and virgins, and implement the "equal division between brothers" system.
In fact, it is one of the new restructuring policies that Han Daoxun has always wanted to implement.
There is an urgent practical need to implement this policy in Xuzhou.
On the one hand, if Han Qian wants to grasp the situation in Xuzhou as soon as possible and prepare for the winter war, he needs to work closely with Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili, and Xi Xunqiao. He needs to compromise with them to a certain extent and try his best to
It is necessary to resolve the hostility of native households as quickly as possible, and at the same time, it is also necessary to prevent resources from being concentrated in the hands of the three direct families as in the past, and once again becoming a hidden danger affecting the stability of Xuzhou.
The three direct descendants of Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili, and Xi Xunqiao will eventually be allocated more land and houses, but each family's land and house is only about a thousand acres, so they can only be medium-sized landowners in Jianghuai.
As further compensation for the direct branches of the three families of Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili, and Xi Xunqiao, Han Qian suggested that the more than 20 thousand-stone sailing ships controlled by Qianyang City be controlled by the three families, and that they be combined with those of Fanzhai in the states in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River.
Business and other matters are also carried out by three companies.
The native surnames in Jingzhou and Chenzhou are wary of Xuzhou. They have blocked trade with Xuzhou and banned merchant ships from entering and leaving Xuzhou. However, the loyalty of these native surnames to Chu is really limited. In Han Qian's hands
The secret decree has no effect on them.
Han Qian even suspected that after the imperial court used troops against Tanzhou, the indigenous forces in Chenzhou would most likely gather to support Tanzhou.
Now they are implementing new policies such as the land tax reform and the unified registration of natives and guests in Xuzhou. The native people in Chenzhou are extremely nervous and have secretly recruited troops. However, the situation in Xuzhou is developing too fast, and Han Qian has not given Chenzhou the power of the common people.
When given the chance to take action, Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili and Xi Xunqiao were forced to surrender.
And once the war against Tanzhou officially begins after winter, the relationship between them and the forces in the Jizhou counties in the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River will inevitably become more tense.
At present, Han Qian can only hope that after the Yang and Xi families take the lead, they can resume business with these areas.
Not to mention other supplies, Xuzhou has begun to lack salt.
The channel downstream of Yuanzhou is blocked, and there is an urgent need to transport rock salt from Shu through Jingzhou.
There was also a backlog of tea, medicine, cloth and other materials produced in Xuzhou, and they also needed to exchange for scarce materials such as cattle and horses from the upper reaches of Yuanshui River; they even needed to transport more copper coins in order to purchase military supplies from the people of Xuzhou.
Xuzhou incorporated all miscellaneous donations into the field tax. The tung oil, wood and other materials needed for the war needed to be purchased with money. They could not set up a name for direct collection as in the past, so the demand for money increased greatly.
On the state capital side, in addition to a significant increase in land taxes, commercial taxes and income from self-operated workshops must also be significantly increased. Only then can it be possible to maintain the operation of the state capital itself, continue to cultivate land, build canals, and roads, and maintain the state capital.
Three to four thousand people are equipped with elite weapons.
In the future, it seems that the land tax of prefectures and counties is expected to increase to 170,000 to 80,000 shi of grain and fodder, and more than 30,000 yuan, which is already a considerable amount. However, after the abolition of corvee, prefectures and counties will be required to repair cities, roads, and dams in the future.
It requires the yamen to spend money and food to hire manpower. In addition, the salaries and public funds of the county officials in California will eat up almost half of the land tax.
There is no way to implement the military system in Xuzhou, abolish corvee service, and abolish the traditional compulsory military system. The recruitment system is currently the only feasible strategy.
Prefectures and counties need to maintain a security force of almost a thousand people. In addition, they have to prepare elite armaments of three thousand people, food and salary, armor and weapons, the purchase and repair of warships and barracks, etc. The basic annual expenditure may be as much as
Forty to fifty thousand yuan, not to mention the huge expenses that will skyrocket during the war.
Although Han Qian hopes that Ma Yin, Ma Xun and his son will withdraw from the vassal vassal voluntarily due to the huge pressure exerted by the court, but this is unlikely. Who wants to be reduced from a prince to a prisoner who may be imprisoned for life?
In addition to raising troops and training, Xuzhou also needs to raise a batch of materials as reserves.
In the middle of the night, Han Qian brought Yang Zaili, Xi Xunqiao, and Xiang Jianlong from prison.
In addition to the land tax reform, the integration of native and guest registration, the internal relocation of tribesmen, the splitting of tribes into households, and full-time business affairs, Han Qian also asked the three families to hand over 60,000 shi of grain and 20,000 yuan as the autumn grain that should be collected last year.
All the village soldiers and their dependents belonging to the family, as well as the private armor and armor were handed over.
The family members moved to Linjiang County for resettlement, and more than 1,200 village soldiers were recruited as soldiers and organized into the Xuzhou camp.
Although the conditions were harsh, the three families still retained a considerable part of the family property, a small number of slaves, and the privilege of being dedicated to business. In the future, there was still a very wealthy rural official in Xuzhou.
What better choice could there be for Xiang Jianlong, Yang Zaili, and Xi Xunqiao, who had already handed over their property and lives to the hands of the Han family and his son when they came out of the mountain to surrender?
It wasn't until the dawn of dawn that many things were finally settled. Xiang Jianlong, Xi Xunqiao, and Yang Zaili were no longer imprisoned in the state prison. Instead, they found a yard in Furong Garden and temporarily placed them under house arrest.
In order to free Gao Shao and Lin Haizheng to help him organize his troops and prepare for a war that could break out at any time, their previous concurrent posts of state judicial officer and state officer officer were dismissed.
In addition to being the magistrate of Linjiang County, Han Qian himself will also put down all the affairs of the state government. After that, he will go to Longya City to concentrate on preparing for the war; Zhang Ping, as the military supervisor, will also
Go to Dragon Tooth City.
"It's good to confuse Tanzhou for just one more day. Next, I will ask Master Xue, Master Li, and Master Qin to pretend to be followers of the Yan Dynasty for a period of time. From now on, I will ask Master Xue to help me with the affairs of the state government."
Father is in charge." Han Qian stood up and said with a smile.
"Compared to Mr. Han and Han Sima's humiliation and bearing the burden, what do our little grievances mean?" Seeing that Han Qian was going back to the east courtyard to rest, Xue Ruogu stood up to see him off.
…………

"The arrow wound on your shoulder should be almost healed, right?" Han Qian stretched his body and walked to the east courtyard and said to Xi Rong, "Should we discuss the debt you owe me?"
"Young master must force the daughter of the people. It will be useless no matter how hard Xi Yi tries. Even if she can call Zhao Ting'er to save me?" Xi Yi said in a delicate voice.
"You pinch my shoulders for me later, just think of it as a profit." Han Qian didn't dare to use Zhao Ting'er as a shield, so he thought of tricking her into the bedroom first so that he could do anything with her.
Recognize it.
Walking into the courtyard where he lived, Han Qian found that several guards were guarding the courtyard and did not go back to his room to rest. He looked over and saw Feng Liao sitting alone in the small hall, waiting for him to come over.
Han Qian walked into the small hall with a sullen face, stared at Feng Liao and asked, "You won't wait for me here all night after the banquet, right?"
"You and your son have no intention of separatizing Xuzhou. Everything is to help Emperor Blessed Emperor plot Tanzhou?" Feng Liao asked, facing Han Qian's sharp eyes.
"Oh, when did you guess it?" Han Qian sat down and asked with interest.
"Master Han has no intention of claiming lordship. He cares more about people's livelihood at all times and everywhere. I have heard before that someone from the fourth surname secretly contacted Zhang Ping, the supervisor of the army. I also reminded you to pay attention. However, the fourth surname is contacting Zhang Ping, the supervisor of the army.
After that, he was easily fooled into attacking Zhongfang City. I suspected that Zhang Ping was secretly colluding with you." Feng Liao directly expressed the doubts in his heart these days, "And after yesterday's night banquet, your father and son left the three of Xue Ruogu behind.
Others think that your father and son will kill Xue Ruogu to clean up the state government, but even if it is to return the three of Xue Ruogu to Jinling, it is far better than killing the three of them. I have thought hard for a long time, except for the possibility I just mentioned,
