"Beat the grass to scare the snake and lure the snake out of the hole?" Han Daoxun asked hesitantly, "What is it to scare the snake with grass, and what is to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

"At this time, we have reclaimed the barren beach slopes on a large scale, and we have not touched the native surnames, nor even touched the fundamental interests of the large guest households, but we have only made them threatened, so that they can still have a certain degree of tolerance, and sit back and watch me and my father toss in Yangyang County and Linjiang County," Han Qian said, "My father has always thought about Qingzhang Tianmu, so that the land has no hidden fields, the people have no hidden households, the country is abundant, and the people are happy, we can do this first in Xuzhou, and do it most thoroughly, and all oral endowments and forced labor will be exempted. Spread all the taxes over the acres! ”

Han Daoxun has long studied the tax and the contradictions between the wealthy families in the township and the locality, and of course he can hear what he wants to do from Han Qian's short words.

Han Qianshi wanted to carry out a more radical restructuring in Xuzhou than he had previously envisioned.

Hiding acres of land and hiding households, as well as the large-scale accumulation of slaves and maids by gentry and officials, have been the evils of thousands of years.

At the same time, the local tax collected by the local government was too concentrated on the middle and lower class landlords and commoners, making them overwhelmed, and even more willing to rely on the wealthy families as slaves, or to escape from the mountains and forests.

The state treasury has insufficient revenue, so it can only make a fuss about the monopoly of salt, iron, tea, and medicine, and constantly increase the collection of salt taxes and crack down on the sale of illicit salt, so as to make up for the shortage of state use, but in fact, it has caused the middle and lower landlords and commoners to suffer another layer of exploitation.

The heavy conscription was also a key reason why the middle and lower classes were more willing to rely on the wealthy families.

Emperor Tianyou rose to Jianghuai, these years of southern conquest and northern war, Jiangdong, Jiangnan West Province and other old heroes have dealt a heavy blow, but did not have the courage to carry out a thorough reform of the acres of land, and because the generals and strong support for the army has become a routine, so that the stubborn disease that existed in the millennium has a tendency to be further aggravated.

Han Qian did not suppress land annexation, nor did he think of going to great lengths to crack down on fugitives and hidden households, but only to spread all taxes into the acres of land, and at the same time exempt all forced labor.

The systems of the Great Chu Dynasty are all imitated by the previous dynasty, and the field tax implements fifteen taxes and one, which does not seem to be high, but in addition to the field tax, it also has to bear the heavy Dingkou tax and various donations, plus the annual levy of one month of forced labor, for the ordinary people, it is embarrassing and heavy.

Han Daoxun has a very deep study of Tian Shui Koufu, and Han Qian can easily obtain a lot of data.

Han Qian advocated that the field tax after the new policy should be levied in the above, middle and lower three categories, with an average of almost one bucket of grain and twenty dollars per mu, which is more than double compared with the previous field tax, and it is almost the same level as the field tax and many miscellaneous donations borne by the ordinary people in the past, but because of the exemption from one month of forced labor every year, the burden of the ordinary people can actually be reduced a lot.

At this time, the privilege of exempting the officials of the wealthy clan from servitude did not exist, and no matter how much they hid the Ding households, they could not play the role of tax evasion, and the taxes they had to bear would be increased because of the substantial increase in the field tax, not to mention that Han Qian would insist on finding out all the acres of land they were hiding.

After the implementation of the new field tax, how much new tax sources can be added mainly depends on how much land is concealed by the native surnames and the large guest households.

The state battalion recruitment, the state and county hired laborers to repair roads, cities, and dig canals, etc., were entirely financed from the new tax sources.

Han Daoxun wanted to implement the restructuring wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect to carry out such a thorough restructuring, and he also knew that if he really wanted to do so, it would inevitably arouse strong resistance and confrontation among all the big families of guest nationality and the big surnames of native origin.

Of course, this is exactly what Han Qian needs to "startle the snake".

Only by alarming the poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows in a short period of time, and at this time carrying out bloody suppression, it is possible to control the situation in Xuzhou in the shortest possible time and complete the preparations for sending troops to Tanzhou before winter.

"And how do you lure the snake out of the hole?" Han Do-hoon asked.

"Everyone in the world calls my father a hypocrisy, so I want my father to continue to be a hypocrisy, and take the initiative to write to Jinling, asking to keep Zhang Ping as a military envoy in Xuzhou," Han Qian said with a smile, "My father is now serving as the defense envoy of Xuzhou, forming a camp in Xuzhou, and when the time comes, the child will be the commander of the army and horses, and it is natural that the imperial court should be asked to send a military envoy to reflect each other's trust?" ”

"You have to let those poisonous snakes that are alarmed take the initiative to contact Zhang Ping!" Han Daoxun understood what Han Qian's overall plan was at this time.

"Yes, the forces in our hands are too limited, and we can't withstand too much damage, so we can't do it without tricks!" Han Qian said.

Han Daoxun nodded and said, "At night, I invited Zhang Ping and the officials of Xuzhou to a banquet in Furong Garden, so I raised these two things before the banquet and handed them over to everyone to discuss. ”

…………

…………

The duck industry in Xuzhou has become a scale, and it is also the most accessible meat in the locality, and the material is cheap.

The Hundred Duck Banquet in the Hibiscus Garden at night is more or less shabby, but in addition to the osmanthus duck, the fruit wood roast duck, the roast duck, the stewed duck, the duck blood, the duck tongue, the duck paw, the duck liver, the duck heart, the duck gizzard can all be dished, and different dishes can be made.

In the eyes of the world, the father and son of the Han family also like to eat duck too much, but few people know the hard work of the father and son of the Han family.

Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, and Qin Wen, no matter how cold and distant their attitudes were, they still attended today's night banquet; In addition to Feng Yi having been working by his father Han Daoxun's side during this time, Han Qian also invited Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to attend the night banquet.

Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhougang were given death by Emperor Tianyou to copy their homes, Han Daoxun, Han Qian's father and son openly used the Feng family brothers to work, and invited the Feng family brothers as guests, which inevitably made the court look ugly, but the officials who were invited to the table would not say anything.

The father and son of the Han family want to be a prince, even if they don't tear their faces with the court, but who to use and who to invite as guests, obviously they don't need to look at the face of the court.

The first thing that was discussed during the meeting was the question of setting up camps.

The fifty-two prefectures of Great Chu recruited strong men from the local government and organized them into state camps to take care of the duties of stealing and arresting criminals, but there were states that guarded the border and resisted the enemy and had an extremely important position, so they set up camps.

Important states may set up camps, but it is not necessary to set up defense envoys or jiedu envoys, but states with defensive envoys or jiedu envoys must set up camps.

The Xuzhou camp will not invite the forbidden army or the guards to send the elite to be stationed, naturally the Han family father and son set it up themselves, which is the foundation of the Han family's father and son to stand on their own according to Xuzhou.

Feng's slaves and maids were unusable, and the military system was implemented in Xuzhou, and there were no mature conditions for forming a camp on the basis of the military government, so they could only recruit troops to form a camp.

Of course, no matter how the Han family father and son recruited soldiers, and Han Qian served as a soldier and horse envoy, personally mastering the military power of Xuzhou, and changing the names of the prison camp, state camp, and water camp to which Xuzhou belonged, and changing them to the first, second, and third battalions of the Xuzhou Army, with Tian Cheng, Xi Chang, and Yang Qin as the battalions under the command of the battalions, the officials would not be bored to come forward and criticize anything.

In addition, Han Qian also suggested that Gao Shao serve as a judicial officer in the army, in charge of criminal prisons and arrest of thieves.

When it comes to going to the imperial court and keeping Zhang Ping as a military envoy in Xuzhou, although Zhang Ping himself is quite surprised, everyone thinks that this is just the Han family's father and son's coy attitude, perhaps because they feel that the foundation in Xuzhou is too shallow, and they show weakness to the court a little to gain more time.

When it came to spreading all the donations into the fields, measuring the acres of land in the whole state, and exempting them from forced labor, the officials present looked ugly and couldn't sit still.

The officials with the four surnames did not appear, and the officials present were more or less involved with the big guest families.

The Han family father and son arrived in Xuzhou the year before last, first let go of the land ban, secretly took bribes, and connived at the reclamation of wasteland by large Hakka households.

Just looking at the sonorous armor of the guards in the left and right assassination mansions, who dares to say a word "no" at the banquet?

At the beginning of the night banquet, everyone was still talking and laughing, and when the new land tax was mentioned, the atmosphere was immediately suppressed.

Han Daoxun didn't care what others said, and announced on the spot that he would promote Zhao Kuo to serve as the state secretary to join the army, and at the same time serve as the head of Qianyang County.

The night banquet ended quickly in a gloomy atmosphere, and the others left one after another, Feng Yi had a place to live in Qianyang City, and Feng Yi and Kong Xirong could live there, but after the night banquet, Feng Yi and Kong Xirong did not hesitate and did not leave in a hurry.

Han Qian invited the two of them to the East Courtyard for tea, and asked them about the situation when they saw Yao Yishui and Chun Thirteen Niang in the afternoon:

"You guys went to the camp in the afternoon, you should have seen Chun Thirteen Niang, what do you think?"

Feng Yi smiled and glanced at Kong Xirong; Kong Xirong was silent.

Han Qian didn't break the casserole to ask the end, and seeing that they didn't want to say more, he changed the topic to the things they were concerned about, and asked: "You said that it is very boring to farm and raise ducks in the Zhuangzi all day long, so what are you willing to do in Xuzhou?" ”

"Our identity is very embarrassing, and if we really want to ask you for some official position, I am afraid it will make you embarrassed, but it is really boring to spend all day in Zhuangzi. It's really not good, I'll be your followers with Xirong, you're always qualified, right? Feng Yi said with a shy face, looking like he was at Han Qian's disposal.

Han Qian pondered for a while and said, "Kong Xirong can start as a low-level military attache in the marching camp first, and Feng Yi, what about you, are you willing to go to Fa Cao, follow Gao Shao, or go to Hu Cao to follow Zhao Kuo to train for a period of time?" Qingzhang Tianmu matter, it is said that Zhao Kuo is in charge, but the matter will be very cumbersome, and you will have to ask your brother Feng Yi to help when the time comes. It's just that as you said, we still have to take care of the face of the imperial court a little now, and we can't officially grant you official positions. ”

Kong Xirong has practiced boxing and kicking since he was a child, and he is very clear about the arrangement of troops, but he has been used to being Feng Yi's follower over the years, and his temperament has not suddenly appeared.

Han Qian now has to find a way to separate Kong Xirong and Feng Yi, so that maybe both of them can grow greatly and achieve something in the future.

And the more than 400 people of the Feng clan, although most of them are unlearned and unskilled people, there is no problem in selecting ten or twenty usable people.

Feng Yi can still put on a correct posture now, knowing that his Feng family is really not qualified to pick and choose now, Han Qian and his father are willing to use them to do things, and the Feng family will have a chance in the future.

If they really deal with dirt all day long, and they are forgotten by Jinling after more than ten years, they will almost completely become mud legs, right?

Now that Han Qian arranged for them to do something, Feng Yi was very excited, and leaned over and asked awkwardly, "Do you want to do something to the Fan clan?" ”

Feng Yi is profligate, but his knowledge and brain are definitely not bad.

Han Qian smiled silently.

"I went to Facao to learn to do something, and I can always help you some; Kong Xirong has always thought that he will be able to charge into battle one day, but you can't really let him rush up and kill the enemy stupidly, or you can leave him to do things by your side, right? Feng Yi was a little worried, and Kong Xirong said.

He knew that the resentment in Kong Xirong's heart was too deep, and he needed to kill too much to vent, and he was worried that he would have a chance to fight, and he might really fight with no regard for his own life.

Han Qian said: "I will arrange for Xirong to come to Tian Cheng's side, and Tian Cheng will take care of him!" ”
