After Guan Ping dealt with the matter, he returned to Fangling. Guan Ping had just returned to the Taishou Mansion on the front foot, and he saw Liao Ming, the old son of Liao Hua, carrying a thorn strip on his back, to bear the guilt of thorn.

Compared with Liao Hua, his father is much more normal, but his loving father is more defeated. Liao Hua's character development has a great relationship with Liao Ming.

However, it is the son who committed the crime, and it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu. Guan Ping was already very tired from the journey, and he took a four-day carriage and walked the four-day mountain road.

But he still endured the tiredness, came to the door to help Liao Ming, and untied the thorns on Liao Ming's back.

It's really wattle, thorny. Liao Ming took off his clothes again, carrying the thorns naked, and blood was dripping on his back. Guan Ping hurriedly asked the doctor to apply medicine to Liao Ming, and asked the soldiers to go up to change Liao Ming's clothes.

After that, Guan Ping asked Liao Ming to come to the study and sit down and talk.

"This is Liaohua's crime, what does it have to do with Mr.? Why is this so, sir? Guan Ping sighed.

"After all, I can't raise a father and son. The adults trust the dog so much and grant him the right to fight, but the dog does something wrong. Ay. Liao Ming sighed and was extremely ashamed.

What a loving father.

Compared to Liao Hua's chaotic demon king, Liao Ming really couldn't hold it down. When Guan Ping thought of this, he also felt a pain in his head, thought about it carefully, and said, "How about I give Mr. an idea?" ”

"Please teach me." Liao Ming couldn't wait.

He also knew that he had nothing to do with this son, he was really desperate, and at this moment, he heard Guan Ping's idea, and he was naturally willing to do it. Everyone knows that this Taishou has a lot of ghost ideas.

"As the saying goes, there is a fierce wife in the family, and the husband is sluggish. Liao Hua, the stinky boy, is also old, Mr. might as well recruit a powerful girl as his daughter-in-law, and even let his daughter-in-law accompany the army, so that he can be restrained at any time. Guan Ping gave Liao Hua a bad idea.

Liao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this, and said happily: "Thank you for your advice." ”

How did I not think of it?????

I can't manage it myself, so I can find a powerful daughter-in-law to take care of it.

Poor Liaohua, the tragic days began.

Liao Ming pleaded guilty, but it was just the aftermath. After that, Guan Ping, the Taishou, was still sitting steadily, but some things were in good condition, and some things were getting worse and worse.

For example, the matter of the Literature Museum.

Guan Ping's order was to let Ma shoot and Liao Ming unify the accent of Luoyang's official dialect, annotate the text in pinyin, and create easy-to-understand textbooks so that children could quickly become enlightened.

Ma Shot, Liao Ming and others are all learned and very beautiful, and later Guan Ping asked them to write letters to relatives and friends, find someone to work in the Literature Museum, first learn Luoyang official dialect, pinyin, and then become a teacher and open a school.

Fangling County is responsible for supplying Lu rice.

This matter can be done, there are many idle scholars in Jingzhou, and it is an elegant matter to establish a school as a teacher. Ma Jue, Liao Ming and others are natives of Jingzhou and have connections.

As soon as the call was answered, three or four hundred scholars came to vote, and some dragged their families with their mouths. In a sense, it also increased the population of Fangling.

Xu Shu is one of them.

It's just that Xu Shu is more bizarre, after he came to Fangling, he was appointed by Guan Ping to join the army and became Ma Yan's colleague, the two of them discussed, and extorted 3,000 gold from Guan Ping, I don't know what to do.

This matter is very smooth, as long as these three or four hundred scholars are taught pinyin, the same accent, the school can be established. However, the improvement of papermaking technology was not smooth.

Ma Sheng has never been able to make good paper, without good paper, printing is just a mirror.

Ma Sheng also did not study cement.

I heard that Ma Sheng's sorrowful hair had grown white, and Guan Ping was embarrassed to urge him again.

Then there was the drought.

Since May, it has only rained a few times. Although Sun Qian led the Cao officials, as well as the county orders, they did a good job.

They also impounded water to build dams, but they were still a drop in the bucket.

This year's grain harvest is not said to be a complete harvest, but it is unlikely to be a bumper harvest either. God really taught Guan Ping a lesson, agriculture still has to rely on the sky to eat.

Unless technology develops to a certain extent, it is impossible for manpower to compete with the sky.

As for how much grain can be harvested per mu this year, we will not know until after the autumn harvest.

...........

Zhang's family.

Zhang Bang sat on the ridge, and the others were the same, wearing clothes made of linen, with hair tied on their heads, and walking tremblingly.

But the smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by a sigh.

Zhang Bang looked at the acres in front of him, the rice was not as strong as last year, and many of the drooping ears were dry and flat, not as full as last year.

Zhang Bang stretched out his right hand and pinched a grain of rice, peeled off the husk and saw that it was empty.

"This year's grain is 120 catties per mu, which is good. After paying the Sannarita tax, there are almost eighty catties left. Last year's harvest was bumper, leaving a lot of last year's old grain. I won't be hungry this year. I just hope that next year, there will be another harvest. ”

Zhang Bang sighed.

The peasants are like this, they depend on the sky for food.

In the past ten years, four years of bumper harvest, four years of poor harvest, and two years of no harvest are all good. If you put it evenly, you can still survive on a hungry stomach.

But if the harvest fails for two consecutive years, it will be really miserable.

If a place is about to be in chaos, the peasants will become homeless, conquer the city, and then the world will be in chaos.

This year, the government of Fangling was very powerful, and joined hands with the people to build many dams, and in addition to a few light rains, the crops were only poor, not completely harvested.

It's a blessing in misfortune.

At this time, Zhang Bang's eldest son came to find his father. When he saw Zhang Bang sitting on the ridge of the field, he couldn't help but comfort: "Father is only in arrears this year, not a bad harvest, and he can still pass the suffering." Besides, it is much better to be under the mountain than on the mountain, and this year the fertile fields under the mountain are not harvested, and the life on the mountain must be even worse. ”

Speaking of this, the people in the Zhang family are very happy. Fortunately, the villagers and Guan Ping foresaw it in the mountains that day, and under Guan Ping's persuasion, they came down the mountain to be good citizens.

Last year's harvest was just a poor harvest this year, and it can still be passed. If they all stay in the mountains, last year's harvest would be good, and life would be better, but this year's grain harvest is poor, and I am afraid that there will be many people who will starve, and even starve to death.

At this moment, Fangling County, under the command of Guan Taishou, recruited mountain people to go down the mountain, and the population increased from 100,000 to 300,000. But it is impossible for all the mountain people to come down, and there must be many mountain people on Daba Mountain and in the mountainous area in Fangling.

Those days, hey.

Zhang Bang's eldest son was very happy.

"I'm just in a daze, and I'm not depressed. Don't think about it. Zhang Bang came back to his senses, listened to his eldest son's comforting words, and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Zhang Bang's eldest son hummed and put his mind at ease.

After that, it was time for the autumn harvest to be vigorous. Although many people know that this year is not good, it is impossible to leave the grain rotting in the field.

This is rations, and the people live on food.

The people of Zhang's family cheered up one after another, dragged their families with their mouths, and began to launch a vigorous autumn harvest action. After the autumn harvest, Li Chang Zhang Bang counted the grain collected in this year's middle school, and as he estimated, the average grain yield per mu was 125 catties.

After planting the field all his life, Zhang Bang's eyes are still vicious.

It's been a miserable year. However, Zhang Bang did not deduct and conceal it, sorted out the grain necessary for the tax first, and waited for the pavilion chief to collect the field tax.

Not to mention that now that the world is in turmoil, it is not easy to have a safe place to farm, and the tax of 30% is really not very high.

Cao Cao is all in half.

Besides, our Fangling County is too benevolent, it is the Ming Mansion, and the favor is in the people. Zhang Bang is a respected old man, and he is by no means a cunning villain.

If you should pay taxes, you still have to pay taxes.

And the whole Fangling is almost like this, as the so-called Guan Tai guards the Ming Mansion, and the kindness is in the people, so people are self-serving, and officials do not tolerate adultery.

From Guan Ping, Ma Liang, Sun Qian, Yi nationality, to Zhang Bang, all of them are good officials.

Even if you are not a good person, you must be a good officer.

Otherwise, there will be no place for officialdom.

This is the authority of the Lord of the Side.

Because of this, Guan Ping was so angry about Liao Hua's violation of the law, and immediately went to deal with the matter non-stop.

It's not easy to accumulate official reputation.

Soon after the autumn harvest, Zhang Bang's immediate boss and old acquaintance pavilion chief Wu Wei came with a few entourage.

Zhang Bang heard the news and personally came out to greet him, leading Wu Wei to his home to rest. Then he wondered: "Pavilion Chief Wu, you should be here to collect grain, why don't you see the cart?" ”

Zhang Bang was not old and dizzy, and when he saw that Wu Wei only brought a few entourages, there was no big car and people with him. That's why I wondered.

"This year, I don't need to pay land tax." Wu Wei said with a smile.

"No land tax?" Zhang Bang was old but his brain reacted quickly, and he frowned and said, "The prince of the prefecture exempted the whole county from the field tax? However, the tens of thousands of troops in Fangling County, relying on the grain harvested last year, I am afraid that they will not be able to last next autumn. ”

Zhang Bang is very knowledgeable and knows some information.

It's just not happy.

You must know that although money and food are important, good government kings are hard to find. Guan Ping sits in Fangling, which is a Ming mansion and a good official. With such a Ming mansion, it doesn't matter if the grain is not harvested this year, and next year's harvest will be rich again.

If this year, because of taxes, the tens of thousands of troops in Fangling collapsed, and the Ming Mansion was driven away by Liu Biao, it would really be a disaster.

"yes. The prince of the government ordered the exemption of the land tax of the nine counties of Fangling, and we all received the favor of the king. As for the issue of money and food for the army, the prince of the mansion is the Ming mansion, and there is no need for villains such as me to worry about it. Wu Wei was very grateful to Guan Ping, and bowed in the direction of Fangling County, and was also very confident in Guan Ping.

thinks that even if the civil land tax is exempted this year, Fang Ling will not collapse because the army has no food to eat.

"The Ming Mansion is gracious, and there is nothing to repay." Zhang Bang also said with feelings, as for the issue of money and food, Zhang Bang was not as optimistic as Wu Wei, but sighed: "I hope that the Ming Mansion can think of ways to tide over the difficulties." ”

All in all, the grain harvest in the nine counties of Fangling this year is not good, and every household is having a hard time. The first wave of people who went down the mountain were fine, such as Zhang's family, after last year's bumper harvest, life can go on.

The second wave of people who came down the mountain drank sticks in the first year, which greatly affected morale.

Guan Ping Taishou patted his head and decided to exempt the field tax. Although there is less money and food, the prestige has risen visibly with the naked eye.

+100 Dominance.

Whether it is a gain or a loss, it is up to the benevolent to see the wise and the wise to see the wise.
