Volume 2: Qingzhou Zhipeng Section 79 Jing Luo Langya

"Measure the land and register the displaced people, so that the local wealthy families in Xuzhou can pay taxes according to the law in the future."

Listening to Cai Ji's sonorous and powerful declaration, Jia Xu squinted his eyes and stared at the two little ghosts in front of him, not knowing what to say. No, Wang Xiu, who is only in his twenties, and Cai Ji, who is not even in his twenties, are too young in the eyes of Jia Xu, who is over fifty years old. If it weren't for the war, except for the children of officials with family backgrounds, it would be impossible for a young man like this to be in an important position before the age of thirty. But the big era pushed these young people into the maelstrom of power prematurely, so that they still have a sincere heart. It's just that a sincere will can't rule the country and level the world.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh, shook his head at Cai Ji and Wang Xiu, and said, "The lord acts like this, but he wants to push the wealthy family of the Langya family to others?" ”

Wen Hegong's words are not true. It is a matter of course to pay taxes according to the law. Could it be that those who conceal the land and the Ding household can still occupy those so-called wealthy families, and many of them relied on the title of selling officials to get the title, so as to occupy the land in the name of Heng Zhi. Now that the Ten Standing Servants and other evils have been ambushed, what kind of face do these people have to continue to occupy the land and Dingkou that should belong to the government. Pang Tong defended Cai Ji unconvinced.

As early as when he was in Jingzhou, Pang Tong often listened to his uncle Pang Degong talk about many stubborn diseases of the Han Dynasty with visiting celebrities. One of them is that the wealthy families relied on their power to forcibly capture Dingkou and forcibly enclose the land, which made the tax of the imperial court decrease day by day. If the imperial court had been able to measure the land and count the Dingkou in time, it would not have fallen to the point of enriching the treasury by selling official beards. And the sale of officials and lords allowed more people to annex land and population. The so-called "horizontal gift" means that the government gives land to officials outside the system. Compared with land annexation methods such as buying and selling, asking for shots, and even fake loans, Hengci is the worst one. Because Hengci doesn't need any cost at all, and it doesn't need to go through any economic means, as long as you are an official. For the Pang family, who started by farming and studying, this kind of guy who made a fortune by buying officials is naturally despicable. Therefore, Pang Tong can be said to agree with Cai Ji's move with both hands.

However, Pang Tong's generous words did not move Jia Xu. Because in addition to the fake families who sell official beards, there are also many real families whose history can be traced back to the Warring States Period. So at this moment, after the old man, who was known for his "livelihood" in later generations, swept everyone away, he snorted unceremoniously, "Cao Mengde also thought so at the beginning. As a result, he almost lost Yanzhou. ”

"Cao Mengde lost Yanzhou, it was because he killed innocents indiscriminately in Yanzhou and Xu Erzhou." Pang Tong retorted without thinking.

Jia Xu asked angrily, "You like to kill people when Cao Mengde has nothing to do?" ”

Cao Cao certainly didn't like to kill people without anything, and the massacre he carried out in Xuzhou was to demoralize Tao Qian's army and to purge the local wealthy families of Xuzhou, so that large tracts of fertile land could be nationalized. As a result, Cao Cao became a murderer, and the family united to lure Lu Bu into Yanzhou, giving him a painful lesson. Cai Ji knew this better than anyone present. But at this moment, she had to face the problems that Cao Cao had encountered back then.

It should be noted that unlike Donglai, Beihai and other Linhai counties, Xu, Yan and Henan, which are the hinterland of the Central Plains and a major agricultural state, have gathered too many wealthy families. They occupy the vast majority of the fertile land and Dingkou. For any power, there is nothing more depressing than sitting on the richest state and county in the world, but not collecting much tax. But that's not even the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that these wealthy families not only do not pay taxes, but even cooperate with the government to rob the displaced people. After all, in addition to paying taxes, the people of Tuntian also need to bear conscription and military service. It can cultivate the land for the wealthy family, but it can avoid forced labor, and there is no need to worry about being caught. When it comes to taxes and soldiers, what prince wouldn't be mad about it? The only thing Cai Ji can be happy about is that the strength of the Langya Hao clan is not as good as before after Cao Cao and Lu Bu have been washed repeatedly. Therefore, although she will not take extreme actions like Cao Cao and Lu Bu, she has also made up her mind to at least use the power of this southern expedition to measure the land.

So, after Cai Ji sorted out the wording a little in his heart, he said earnestly to Jia Xu, "Wenhe Gong, this government also knows that measuring land and checking Dingkou will cause dissatisfaction among the local wealthy families in Langya. But even if you don't count it now, when the world is peaceful in the future, you still have to do what needs to be done. Could it be that at that time, the wealthy family would obediently present their own land books to the imperial court? Will the imperial court be allowed to enter Zhuangzi to count Dingkou? The government dares to take its head to guarantee here. No, on the contrary, they will also use the clear discussion and use the relationship to obstruct the matter. It won't be long before the new imperial court repeats the mistakes of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling. Wen and Gong, this government said that this government will find a way to suppress the family and the wealthy under its rule. Now is the beginning."

After listening to Cai Ji's words, Jia Xu was silent for a long time, then glanced at her meaningfully and asked, "Does the lord really plan to measure the land in Langya and register the displaced people?" ”

"Yes." Cai Ji nodded categorically.

And Jia Xu stared at Cai Ji for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "That's it, Xuzhou has been war-torn for many years, and the documents of the various government offices must have been lost long ago. However, when the Donglai army first arrived in Langya, he was not familiar with the place, so it may be difficult to complete this matter alone. Therefore, the old man thought that the envoy could find a few clans from Langya that were not well-evaluated, and select the children of good families to be responsible for this matter. If anyone dares to engage in favoritism, the king may also be held accountable according to the law. ”

Hearing Jia Xu like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, Cai Ji was surprised and delighted. Especially let the Langya people check the Langya people, that is really a stroke of genius. According to Jia Xu's method, Cai Ji could first find a few clans with little power to come forward and be responsible for revising the field book. However, this errand seems to be beautiful, but as long as it involves land and property, there will inevitably be people who are dissatisfied, and people who are dissatisfied will be informed. In this way, the local wealthy families in Langya were divided, and they were able to take the opportunity of their dog-eat-dog to complete the measurement of the land and the liquidation of Dingkou. And in the whole incident, Cai Ji except for the initial pick, issued an order; followed by waiting for those wealthy families to attack each other, and then arbitrate for them as Xuzhou Mu. Thinking of this, Cai Ji couldn't wait to go up and hug Jia Xu immediately-Dad, you are too talented

In fact, before Cai Ji could put this idea into practice. Wang Xiu had already taken the lead in stroking his palms and laughing, "Wen Hegong has a wonderful strategy."

And Pang Tong on the side also restrained his initial aggressive momentum, and instead respectfully apologized to Jia Xu, "It's all the blame for Wen and Gong." ”

Jia Xu saw that everyone unanimously praised him, but he did not show any smugness because of this. On the contrary, he solemnly said to Cai Ji, "In addition to measuring the land and inventory, the lord can also use this matter to observe whether there are talented people in Langya." If there is really a person who is worthy of a heavy responsibility, please don't mind his background and entrust him with a big responsibility. ”

"Wen Hegong means to slap and give a date?" Cai Ji asked with interest.

"Make Jun Mingjian, don't reverse the order. Otherwise, Lu Bu will be a lesson from the past. Jia Xu warned Cai Ji with a solemn expression.

Jia Xu's words were not alarmist. It is said that when Lu Bu first arrived in Xuzhou, he did listen to Chen Gong's words and did enough work as Corporal Lixian. But after a long time, Lu Bu couldn't hold the wolf's tail after all, and began to let his subordinates loot and sacrifice their teeth again. Of course, Lu Bu also has his bitterness in doing this. There are many wealthy families in Xuzhou, and he always doesn't pretend to be a good person in Xiapi for a year like Liu Bei, but he can't even afford to raise 10,000 people. Just give a date first, and then slap it, and people will remember the slap after all. So even if Lu Bu has become the "King of Song" now, not many people in Xuzhou agree with his identity as a pseudo-king. On the contrary, many wealthy families took the opportunity to rebel against Lu Bu. And among them, the most famous and powerful party is none other than Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya.

However, in recent months, the life of this Xiao Guoxiang has not been easy. His old rival Zang Ba drove him all the way from Langya County to the remote Ju County. Speaking of which, the contradiction between Xiao Jian and Zang Ba can be traced back to the Tao Qian era. Langya was originally a county, and after the death of the last Langya king Liu Rong, the Langya country was transformed into Langya County. It stands to reason that Xiao Jian, who is the minister of state, should have become the Taishou of Langya County, just like Kong Rong, the minister of Beihai. But Tao Qian deliberately placed Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others to garrison Langya County. As a result, the two sides have been fighting for the control of Langya County until now.

If it weren't for Cai Ji's incursions, Xiao Jian, who was already exhausted, would probably choose to surrender to Zang Ba and instigate him to fight against Lu Bu as in history. Following Gao Shun will stop Lü Bu from attacking Zang Ba and convince Zang Ba to be loyal to Lü Bu again. But now history has long since deviated from its original trajectory. Lü Bu became in-laws with Yuan Shu, and Gao Shun was besieging Liu Bei in Pei County with him. And Xiao Jian pinned all his hopes on Cai Ji.

"There's no news from Donglai County yet, don't skip words. Xiao Jian had almost forgotten that it was the first time he had asked the master book beside him about Donglai's news. In fact, as early as three months ago, Xiao Jian, who saw that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, began to secretly communicate with Wang Xiu in Beihai, hinting that he would dedicate the cities of Langya to Cai Ji, who was still the commander of Donglai County at that time. And when the news came from Xu Du that Cai Ji was appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou, Xiao Jian was even more happy to dance, because now even the name of the teacher could be saved. What Xiao Jian didn't expect was that now he had been blocked by Zang Ba in Ju County, but the long-awaited Donglai army was nowhere to be seen.

However, in the face of Xiao Jian's eager inquiry, the master bookkeeper on the side replied dejectedly, "Back to the mansion, the thieves have blocked the four gates. Now the news inside the city can't get out, and the news outside the city can't get in. ”

It's no wonder that this master book will speak like this, look at the thin county seat of Juxian, and then look at the thieves outside the city. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation is extremely unfavorable to Xiao Jian. But Xiao Jian refused to admit defeat like a stubborn gambler. I saw him wave his big hand and order, "Send another person out of the city tonight to try." In addition, he ordered all the houses in the city to be demolished by the government to make wooden and stone stalks. This government wants to fight to the death with Zang Ba's thief to the end."

And just when Xiao Jian at the head of the city was shouting to hold on until the last moment, Zang Ba was standing in front of the tent and staring at the ruined city in front of him due to the siege, as if he was staring at a pile of gold mountains. Because Xiao Jian transported all the last bit of baggage from the Langya County Government into the county seat of Juxian, and Zang Ba is currently short of food and money.

It is said that since Lu Bu was named the king of Song by Yuan Shu, Zang Ba and Sun Guan have also risen, and one has become a powerful general; One became General Zhenwei. The sudden promotion made Sun Guan and the others excited for a while, but Zang Ba didn't care about it. In his opinion, the generals are just fictitious titles, and they can't be exchanged for soldiers and horses, nor for grain and grass. Sure enough, as Lü Bu led his troops west to conquer Yuzhou, batches of grain and grass were transported to Pei County to support Lü Bu's conquest of Liu Bei and Cao Cao. And the reply that Zang Ba got when he asked for food from Xia Pi was to ask them to collect food on the spot.

Collecting food on the spot? The grain collected from last autumn to his ** was transported to the next Pi, where did Langya get the grain. What's more, there was a locust plague just after April. As soon as he thought of the intriguing leader Chen Gong's expression that was neither yin nor yang, Zang Ba was angry. In contrast, Chen Junshi is more kind, in the end, he is from Xuzhou, and he still has some feelings for his hometown. But since Xiapi refused to share the grain, Zang Ba had to find a new way. As a result, Zang Ba soon got into a fight with his old rival Xiao Jian. Although the siege battle is the last thing that the Taishan thieves want to encounter, they can only let go for the sake of food and grass. What's more, judging from the current situation, this may also be the last battle between him and Xiao Jian.

And just when Zang Ba was thinking about how to conquer the county seat of Juxian, he suddenly saw a war horse rushing in not far away, which directly disturbed the camp chickens and dogs. However, the scout on horseback did not stop, and only when he rushed to the tooth tent did he turn over and dismount, and reported to Zang Bayu in a hurry, "General Yu, the Donglai army has conquered Dongguan and Dong'an counties. ”

As soon as the scout's words fell, an uproar suddenly sounded beside Zang Ba's body. And he himself grabbed the scout and asked, "? How many people are there in the Donglai Army? Chang Xuan's dry food"

The scout was so stunned by Zang Ba that he immediately stammered, "This...... It's not clear what this little one is. The little one only saw that the Yishui was full of tents. There is a ...... hanging on the gate of the Donglai army Hanging on the head of General Chang. ”

The heavy sigh sounded again, mixed with "Chang...... Chang Feng is dead" and "That Chang Feng was cut down ......" and other small mutterings. At this time, Zang Ba's face was already gloomy as water. Although it is surprising that Changfeng died in battle, what is more important is that the Donglai army has conquered Dong'an. And Dong'an is only a day's journey away from Juxian. If Ju County cannot be conquered today, it will be attacked by the Donglai Army and Ju County.

Is it to continue the siege of Juxian? Still is......

After being silent for a long time, Zang Ba finally let go of his hand, looked around at the generals present, and ordered in a deep voice, "Order the withdrawal of the army to Xiapi, where there is food"

Jia Xu sat on a straw mat to bask in the sun and drink hot tea: young people should remember that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure. That's who, who's who, leave the ticket for the old man ~~~
