Tong Yuan learned the news in Pishi County and knew that with the death of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the situation was temporarily stabilized.

Soon after, news came that Yang Ding plotted to rebel and was taken down by Dong Cheng and had been beheaded for public display. Only he and Zhang Ji were left, each leading a troop of soldiers and horses, on the north and south wings of the Son of Heaven.

He knew that the situation seemed to be calm, but in reality the challenges were even more severe, and he had to adapt to that sense of challenge.

These days, reflecting on the problems of the areas under his previous jurisdiction, he found that the grassroots construction was in good order, but the role of the county level was really embarrassing.

It stands to reason that the county should hold the real power of the middle and lower levels and be able to stand alone. However, the embarrassing part is that in the early days when the small-scale peasant economy was more common, the county could gather all counties, and there was a certain grass-roots co-ordination power.

At present, the scholars, Haoqiang, and big clans in various localities control the grassroots, and the counties that have not implemented tuntian are actually their coordinating bodies. And the county is even more embarrassed, it can't represent these people, and it can't gather strength to do something.

The areas where Tuntian has been implemented have taken on a different look.

Each county has a close relationship with each county, and it is possible to pool the efforts of a county as needed. However, the county usually focuses on economic planning, war preparations, legal inspections, and major project construction, and other specific contents are left to the counties to run.

Each county is based on each township, each township is based on each tun, and each tun is based on each team. Just as the county specializes in its affairs, the higher levels should do a good job of appropriate overall planning and do not directly interfere in the affairs of the grassroots level.

In this way, it clearly constitutes a relatively clear economic and power composition based on the tun people. There will be no such bad situation in the landlord economy where the county is separated from the grassroots interests, the discourse is opposed, or the county is completely controlled by them.

Do you want to strengthen the concentration of power in ordinary counties? If he was still inexperienced at the beginning, he would definitely solve this problem directly.

However, now he understands that a simple one-handed approach is very immature, and the way to intensify the contradiction will even lead him to the end of Gongsun Zhan.

Instead of recklessly imposing it, it is better to use some brains.

He planned to strengthen the General's Mansion and the Xinxi Liang Army, which was good for the scholars and Haoqiang. But in fact, the extracted strength will be used to build the counties and counties of Tuntian better, so that the people who are not in Tuntian will yearn for Tuntian in every way.

Finally, a channel for social mobility is formed. When a small farmer has made military achievements and volunteered to join the tuntian, he can join the tuntian with his family.

When the tenant farmer and the householder flee to the tuntian, he will be freed, but the treatment will only be half of that of the tunmin, and more glory will be needed in the future to promote the tunmin.

He has to do three things: resource adjustment, personnel adjustment, and army adjustment.

First of all, the results obtained by the Dreadnought Army and the Tuntian Army in the war did not belong to the counties that were not Tuntian. But correspondingly, he will greatly exempt non-Tuntian counties from taxes.

For example, of the hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep captured last time, 300,000 were distributed to the military and people. In addition to the expansion of animal husbandry in a considerable part of the tuntian, it can also ensure that every 20 households have at least two cattle for a team.

As for the ordinary scholars, Haoqiang, large households, and small farmers, they need to buy normally, after all, there is no war, there is no grain and straw, and it is normal to distinguish between cattle and sheep.

In the future, such as cotton and linen, waterwheels, windmills, mills, carbon stones, road construction, water conservancy, etc., are all similar.

Second, all the capable people on his hands have been dispersed, and now the rights of the counties are handed over to a certain extent, the scholars, Haoqiang, and Tuntian officials.

For example, Sun Zi, Liu Fu, Xue Xia, etc., can be promoted to become important officials in the county, while Zhang Ji, Wei Qi, Pei Ji, Su Ze, etc. can further carry out the relevant affairs of the Xinxi Liang Army.

In this way, from grassroots officials to state and county officials, they have been promoted to a certain extent. It's just that these talents are concentrated here, and they can strengthen Tuntian and start a career.

Third, when materials and personnel are more concentrated, the dreadnought army must also slightly change its shortcomings of being scattered in various places and unable to concentrate its forces.

At present, a number of cadres such as Qubei, Xu Huang, Hao Zhao, Yu Xuan, and Zhang Fang are scattered everywhere to guard, and even Hu Lang'er, Huang Yu, and Yang Feng are also stationed relatively scattered, which is really not conducive to the attack of the whole army.

He showed a hawkish posture to the imperial court, locked the way for the Son of Heaven to throw himself into the Kanto region, and really wanted to get more general positions and reward his subordinates.

He carefully calculated that in the area where Mintun is currently practiced, there are no more than 20 officials who have been out of work in a county, and the total number of people is more than 400, which is insignificant for the 300,000 tun residents.

After this readjustment, he intends to continue to control the number of people who are out of work, so that the majority of officials in various counties and townships will not forget their roots.

In this way, the county officials were not only responsible for various affairs, but also taught in the townships, which directly broke the barrier between the people and the Xinxi Liang army. The imperial power did not go to the countryside, and there was no soil in the tuntian, but instead the tun was a close composition of the Xinxi Liang army.

In contrast, the total number of non-tuntian counties, which are self-sufficient and gradually annexed, is about to catch up with 30% of the farmers.

Isn't it nice to say that it is rich and diverse, but isn't it to exploit those farmers? With so many people exploiting and letting the farmers fight, how can they win?

Therefore, these counties do not need to send food, let alone troops, and obediently assume the role of enriching society and cultural inheritance. As for the farmer who wants to leave and wants to break out of an upward path, he can give!

On the contrary, it is okay for tunhu to go to these counties to live a new life. But where life is good, the people will still vote with their feet.

In addition to being used as an upward channel, this kind of mobility can also break the separation of the original regions and clans to a certain extent, and help the land to meet the changes of the times in a better state.

As for the lack of manpower in these counties, they can absorb the displaced people from the areas not under the jurisdiction of Tong Yuan. It's just that these homeless people also know where life is good and there is a future for growth, so the excellent ones are given priority to join Tuntian.

Tong Yuan's blueprint is very beautiful, and he also pays attention not to rush it, but to take it step by step. So start by cashing in on the upward channel.

Soon after, the farmers and officials who were good at organizing the development of the tun and the team were rewarded one after another, and many of them were promoted to the county center.

In particular, those tuns where there are many old and weak women, if they do better than the young and strong tuns, they will inevitably be promoted to the ranks. And a large number of the most basic peasant households in the team have also been promoted to officials, allowing them to organize while producing.

Since a large number of vivid examples are in front of them, if the tun people can do a good job in production and organize balanced development, they can also let their children study and learn skills in the future, and they can also be promoted to the township.

The scholars, Haoqiang, Hanmen, and big clans in ordinary counties have won certain rights, and they have celebrated each other, and while talking about the door, they do not forget to say a few words about Dong Bai and Tong Yuan.
