At this time, Liu Tao said half-jokingly, "It's mid-September...... How's the autumn harvest going? Don't tell me, none of you paid attention to this. ”

Grain directly determines whether it can be fought next year or not, and to what extent. Of course, it doesn't matter if there is not much grain grown, but the production and sales of commodities must keep up, so that there is money to buy grain in Jizhou or Sizhou.

With the boundaries of the annexed state, it is impossible to hope that this place will become a grain producing area. It's good to barely use it for yourself, but in order to be safe, you will take down Hanoi and Hedong as food production areas another day, so that you don't have to be controlled by others.

"Of course I've been paying attention to this!" Xun Yu hurriedly replied, "In the past month, first of all, we have set up the Ji Cao Division, and selected enough officials to join in, many people from the Zhang family, and those who are familiar with the Zhang family and are proficient in arithmetic.

At present, the number of acres of land in each county is still being counted, but it is not so smooth. After all, if you really want to count, the squires are more or less concealed. ”

"This is simple, this year may not be used for the time being, disperse the soldiers to the counties, follow the officials, and at the same time let the county thieves cooperate, whoever does not cooperate with the investigation, then take it." If you dare to use troops, you will be destroyed in the name of rebellion. Liu Tao replied.

"...... like this" Xun Yu was a little entangled, this was a bit too domineering.

"It's no longer the time to make a yellow scarf, and I have enough soldiers and horses under my command. Since this is the case, then the squires, the children of good families, can not be said to be armed again. Possessing a large number of weapons, and openly obstructing official business, I suspect they have some ulterior motives, it's as simple as that...... This can be spread out privately and see the reaction. Liu Tao said with a smile.

After thinking about it, he added: "I will give two plans for the hidden problem of acres of land. Either give it up and have it reclaimed by the local government as public land, or pay 1 wen per mu of land to buy it. ”

"The Lord is benevolent!" Xun Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, so that it would not be a big problem.

"Also, investigate whether they have the problem of grabbing the land of ordinary people. If it is, then it is a disadvantage, not a good family. Even according to the edict of the first emperor, then they are not qualified to recruit militia and hold weapons. At most, only long sticks are allowed for self-protection, and the list is published in each county. Liu Tao didn't plan to cheapen them.

According to this standard, then almost seventy percent of the squires have done this kind of thing. At most, the degree of obscurity varies, and there are actually few butts that are clean.

"Yes......" Xun Yu was really hard to refute, so he accepted it.

Liu Tao also did not explain the intensity of the investigation, when everyone does this kind of thing, most of the means are to lend, and then others owe money, there is no way, but to use the land to pay off the debt. In this case, there is a loss of benevolence and righteousness, but there is no problem at the legal level.

The problem of private lending, even in later generations, has a lot of problems. All the official can do is to strengthen public opinion supervision, limit the maximum interest rate, and prohibit violent debt collection. It's just that this last measure has also led to the emergence of a large number of old people, and it can only be said that one thing is lost at the expense of the other, and the east makes up for the leakage.

Liu Tao sometimes can't help but sigh, Chinese people are so smart, why don't they put their own intelligence in some positive places, and have to go further and further in this kind of place......

As long as it conforms to the Chinese law, then it is naturally not on the list, and according to this situation, only some 'unfamiliar business', or 'second generation', it is possible to do such stupid things.

"Anyway, you told me about the acres of land for a long time, and the important yield issue ......" Liu Tao raised his eyebrows, this Xun Yu is not kind.

"You have to know the acres to know an accurate number. The lord demanded that the counties report accurate figures, and the counties did not dare to slack off, so they had to seize the time to review. If according to the previous report, this year's income is 30% higher than last year, after all, the rain this year is much better. Xun Yu hurriedly explained.

After all, it was a local official, and he was not familiar with Ji Caosi's requirements, so he was a little in a hurry. There was a lack of sufficient accountants themselves, and then there was a situation of concealment among the squires. In fact, not only the squire, but also some rich peasants privately opened the land, and there were also those who did not report it. In particular, these lands are still in the east and west, and it is troublesome to measure and count.

"It seems that the main work next year is to adjust the plots after the farmland in each county is counted." Liu Tao thought about it, three times three of the nine plots of land, A's land is 135, C is 268, and D is 479, and he feels that he can force obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.

"The land is divided into several types, and the people and the gentry do not necessarily want to be replaced, and there are too many opportunities for fraud." Xun Yu reminded that some squires, for example, united with the government to replace one piece of water for the peasants with five pieces of land.

This situation seems to be quite profitable, but in fact, the output is not equal at all, and it is more physically demanding to work.

"So I need you to work out a summary of the replacement, and then try it out in Taiyuan or Yunzhong first." Liu Tao replied, "I've done it so many times, don't you still know my work habits?" Besides, you can't be afraid of fraud. So worried, just get the supervision mechanism out, whoever stretches out his hand indiscriminately, will chop off the dog's paws! ”

"My subordinates understood." Xun Yu nodded, he had indeed been a little too cautious recently.

No way, he is only 26 years old this year, and he has already served as the governor of a state, which is an honor and a pressure. Too many people are waiting for him to make a mistake, and many people are also watching his position.

Isn't there something he doesn't know? It's just that he can't say that he is worried about becoming the target of public criticism, so he can only guide Liu Tao to say it, and then he is 'forced' to accept it.

Didn't you see, from beginning to end, Guo Jia didn't say anything? He obviously saw through it, but he also knew that Xun Yu's difficulty was, so he could only remain silent......

What needs to be known, Liu Tao also knows, the output has increased by 30% compared with last year, and then the rest is nonsense. I could vaguely feel that Xun Yu had some kind of purpose, after all, he also had 14 magic points now, which was more than twice as high as the initial one.

It's just that he didn't expose it, anyway, he said so much in one breath, how to implement it, and in the end it fell on Xun Yu. Whether this is a punishment or not, it depends on Xun Yu's understanding, maybe he is also mentally prepared in this regard.

"How's the relocation going?" Liu Tao immediately asked, this was also ordered before.

"The location has been chosen, and the library and college have been relocated one after another." Xun Yu replied very simply, "In addition, the state pastoral mansion has also been repaired, and the lord can move in at any time." ”

I've been making do with it in the government before, but after a while, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, I will live here, and there will definitely be another mansion.

In the past, Liu Tao felt that it was too small, so he found a way to expand it, and he had money anyway. At the same time, he also secretly drew a sum of money to repair the palace here in Jinyang, and maybe when he became king, he would have to live and work in it.

"It's repaired......" Liu Tao nodded when he heard this, "Then I'll go over and take a look first......"

"Lord, there are still a lot of documents that you need to decide......" Xun Yu didn't intend to let him go like this.
