Among the people was a young man, about twenty years old, whose face was covered with dust and could not be seen as he was.

But seeing that his figure was straight and he was dressed as a scholar, after he saw what Han Cheng had done, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, he tidied up his shabby clothes, and went straight to the county office.

Han Cheng was busy in the county office, and suddenly heard a report from the person at the door: A young man visited him.

Han Cheng put down the affairs in his hand and got up to greet this person at the door of the county office.

Han Cheng knew from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of later generations that all talented people always like to meet this set, and if the person in power greets him personally, he can be loyal and obedient, and the most famous deed is the battle of Guandu, "Cao Mengde greeted Xu Yu barefoot." ”

So Han Cheng heard the people at the door say that someone was visiting, so he personally greeted him to show respect.

As soon as the man met, he first begged for a basin of water. After washing off the filth on his face, Han Cheng took a closer look, he was a handsome young man, just looking at his appearance, he felt that he was not an ordinary person.

The visitor saluted Han Cheng and said, "Xu Miao, Xu Jingshan, Jixian County, Youzhou." Meet Lord Taishou Han. ”

When Han Cheng heard this, he said in his heart: "What? "In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you are not very famous.

......

What Han Cheng didn't know was that this Xu Miao was a genius, not only able to govern one side, but also able to lead troops to fight.

According to historical records, Xu Miao was Cao Cao's subordinate, and when he was first appointed by Cao Cao as an official, every official had outstanding political achievements.

In the Cao Rong period, Xu Miao was appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou, the envoy of the festival, the captain of the Qiang school, and stationed in Liangzhou;

When Xu Miao was appointed as the assassin of Liangzhou, he dug canals and recruited poor people to rent land, so that the barren place of Liangzhou was rich and the warehouses were full;

Xu Miao can handle the relationship with ethnic minorities very well, and has won the trust and awe of the people;

In the end, he was promoted to Sikong, but refused due to old age.

And this Xu Miao is good at painting, and it is said that the word fake and true is to evaluate his painting level.

......

Han Cheng came from Han Fu's education, so he couldn't lose his courtesy, so he hurriedly returned the salute.

Xu Miao said: "Miao has been poor since childhood, and knows the suffering of the people, and today I can see the land division notice of Taishou, and I know that Taishou is a person who cares about the people, so I was moved by the benevolence and righteousness of Taishou, and I want to go to Taishou's name to do a meritorious work, and saddle up for Taishou." ”

When Han Cheng heard this, he came to join him, and he was overjoyed, what he lacked most now was talents, no matter what kind of talents. It's really cold, someone covers the quilt, and someone actually comes to run.

said to Xu Miao: "I have Jingshan, I have an arm." ”

Xu Miao said respectfully: "The lord has praised it, and the land division order is beneficial to the people, I wonder if Miao can personally contribute to the people?" ”

Han Cheng patted Xu Miao on the shoulder and said, "Of course you can, I'm still worried that no one will help me." Don't say anything about Gongcao, now you are the county magistrate of Pingcheng County, you prepare, start in Pingcheng County after the land division order, you just have to rest assured to do it boldly, I am your strongest backing. ”

Xu Miao saw that Han Cheng directly appointed himself as the county commander, and he trusted him very much, and his heart was full of gratitude.

He is not famous, but he has received great attention, and he secretly swears in his heart that he must make some achievements.

And Han Cheng just wanted to see if this young man's ability was capable of governing one side, even though he was only a young man.

......

At the end of the shift, Xu Miao's study was still lit.

The reason why Xu Miao took refuge in Han Cheng was mainly because the land division order was most suitable for use in Yanmen County.

At this time, there was no family in the four counties of Yanmen County that had fled, and of course, the fallen family was not counted. The people also fled badly, and large tracts of land were desolate.

If the government comes forward at this time, the land will become the government's, and then sell it to the people, it will be a big profit, Han Cheng does this, Xu Miao will not defect to Han Cheng.

Unexpectedly, Han Cheng did not do this, but instead benefited the people, which made Xu Miao have to admire Han Cheng's long-term vision and broad-mindedness.

Xu Miao's consideration of promulgating a land division order has three benefits:

First, it can make full use of land; the second is to be able to keep these people who were plundered by the Huns; The third is to sum up one or two, with land and population, is the lord still afraid of not having military rations and soldiers?

It's a triple win.

Seeing that Taishou was so righteous, Xu Miao took the initiative to vote. With what he has learned for many years, doing things for the people is Xu Miao's greatest ideal.

Xu Miao is now the county magistrate of Pingcheng County again, and the land division order starts from his own county seat, and it depends on himself whether it is good or bad, and he feels that the burden on his body is very heavy.

Xu Miao didn't expect that he had just defected to Han Cheng and got such a heavy responsibility, and he secretly swore in his heart: He must do a good job.

Xu Miao yawned, rubbed his temples, and still looked at the registration list in his hand and the detailed record of the land, trying to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

And the initiator of this matter, Lord Han Cheng, is sleeping soundly, and dealing with the affairs of the two counties in the past few days can make Lord Han tired.

......

Three days later, Xu Miao met Han Cheng with the sorted out plan.

Since having Xu Miao, Han Cheng's daily affairs have been reduced by half, he used to deal with two counties, but now he only deals with one county, and he rests well at night, and his heart is also very happy.

Looking at the "dark circles" around Xu Miao's eyes, Han Cheng said in his heart: "No matter what Xu Miao's ability is, with this diligence, he is a good talent." ”

said: "There is still nearly a month before the time of land division, Jingshan just take your time, don't be too tired." ”

Hearing Han Cheng's words of concern, Xu Miao was very moved in his heart, the lord was not pretending, he really cared about his subordinates, and said to Han Cheng: "The subordinate Xie lord cares, but it is just a matter of land division, which involves a lot. And the people now live in the city, have no land, and are not at ease in their hearts. Therefore, Miao does things for the people, the sooner the better. ”

Han Cheng looked at Xu Miao's expression when he spoke, without a trace of artificiality, and said, "Jingshan cares about the people, it's not bad. Today, is there a specific plan? ”

Xu Miao saw that Han Cheng was asking about the matter, and said, "My lord, I have already made a plan, but there is a place that needs to be decided by the lord." ”

Han Cheng said, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Xu Miao said: "The lord said in the notice that adult men can each be divided into at least three acres of land, and his subordinates think that these three acres of land need to be explained in detail.

The land is divided into three classes: the superior land, which can produce five stone of grain per year; Medium-sized land, on the other hand, can only produce three stone of grain per year; The inferior land produces only two stones of grain per year.

In the past three days, I have looked at the land information of Pingcheng County and personally inspected it, and if all the people have a medium or higher amount of land, the land is not enough; If the land is allocated to the inferior land, it will not be easy for the people to live, and even if they have planted the land for a year, they will still starve to death. So I would like to ask the lord, can you change the notice? ”

Han Cheng listened to Xu Miao's words, and said happily to Xu Miao: "Jingshan Dacai, it was my negligence that almost made a big mistake, but fortunately, Jingshan reminded me in time, tell me what you think, I'll think about it." ”

Xu Miao was very happy when he heard Han Cheng praise himself again, and he felt that the fatigue all over his body disappeared at this moment, so he said happily: "My idea is: the land divided by the main centimeter is calculated according to the medium land. For example, three acres of land for each adult man is three acres of medium land; Woman, the land of the old man is like this.

The tax can be set at one out of nine, so that the people can get the land, and the government will also have a tax. As for the insufficient amount of medium land, it can be replaced by inferior or superior land, for example, three acres of inferior land can be replaced by two acres of medium land; One acre of eight-point prime land can also be exchanged for three acres of medium land. ”

Han Cheng thought about it a little, this idea is really good, Xu Miao is really a talent. The governing side not only has ideas, but also concrete measures, and it is good luck for itself. said: "Jingshan, this idea of yours is good and feasible. You're putting your heart into it. ”

Xu Miao said: "It is my honor to contribute to the Lord. ”

Han Cheng didn't continue to talk to Xu Miao, thought about half a cup of tea, and continued: "Jingshan, you release two more pieces of news: first, the military can share an extra acre of inferior land; Second, those who help the government to open up wasteland in a few days can also divide one more acre of inferior land when dividing the land, and as for taxes, they will also take one out of nine. ”

Xu Miao said: "No." ”

Xu Miao went back and sorted it out again, and a day later, the land division plan and two pieces of news came out, and the people instantly boiled, shouting "Long live Han Cheng." ”

First of all, with the land division plan, the people will have a bottom in their hearts, and they will not be preoccupied every day.

As for the other two pieces of news, they are also heavy news for the people, and the gratitude in their hearts cannot be expressed in words.

The first is to reclaim wasteland, and you can divide one acre of inferior land more. After a year, after going to taxes, there is a whole stone and a half more food, which is enough for a child to eat for more than half a year. It's a policy that only Mingjun can have, after this move, in the hearts of the people of Yanmen County, they don't know what the Han Dynasty is dedicated to the emperor, and some are just too protective of Han Cheng. This move is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The second article is that the soldiers are given an extra acre of inferior fields, which can encourage the enthusiasm of these ordinary people to join the army, and they have arranged for their children to join the army.

Although there are more than 4,000 people who have signed up to join the army, the Fenwu Army has only recruited more than 3,000 recruits, and the rest are all county soldiers, and only half an acre of inferior land is rewarded.

It is said that in the future, if you make meritorious service, you can go to the Fenwu Army and get the remaining half an acre of land. Let the young people who are county soldiers also full of hope in their hearts.
