Chapter 57: Amnesty
"Fengxiao, you will be the military advisor this time, how about it."
For Guo Jia, Qin Hua was still very patient to persuade him.
"It's not good, Jia thinks that he is not knowledgeable enough, and he still needs to study more to serve the lord, and he also asks the lord to allow Jia to study in the Liangzhou school."
"The conquest of Hanzhong is a matter of great importance, and please don't postpone it."
Xun You also knew the character of his friend, so he also joined the persuasion team.
"Gongda can be above Jia, the lord should let Gongda go."
Seeing that Xun You didn't help him speak, Guo Jia pushed the matter on Xun You.
Before Xun You could speak, Qin Hua said to Guo Jia: "Gongda is now engaged in Liangzhou, if Fengxiao is willing, then I will hand over the affairs of Gongda to you, how about he go to Hanzhong?" ”
Hearing Qin Hua say this, Guo Jia was speechless, what he didn't like the most was to deal with all kinds of trivial matters in internal affairs, so he immediately shook his head and refused.
Suddenly, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Wenhe's talent is far above Jia, why don't you let Mr. Wenhe go?" ”
"Wen He is the head of Liangzhou Wenchen, he needs to deal with more things, Feng Xiao wants to replace him?"
Guo Jia immediately shook his head, he didn't deny that he coveted Jia Xu's position, but he really didn't want to do Jia Xu's work.
"That's good, Fengxiao only needs to mention Wenyuan when he needs it, and he can usually read books in the camp, and I will bring a carriage of books for Fengxiao, how about it?"
In the end, under the kind words and persuasion of Qin Hua and others, Guo Jia agreed to go to Hanzhong.
Three days later, Qin Hua appointed Zhang Liao as a general and led an army of 30,000 to Hanzhong.
Before leaving, Qin Hua also specially instructed Zhang Liao to protect these two people, they are likely to be the next generation of generals in Liangzhou.
And Qin Hua himself stayed in Liangzhou and continued to transform Liangzhou.
His previous policies were all reforms to Liangzhou under the Han system, but this still did not reach the point that Qin Hua had in mind.
You must know that the Han Dynasty was separated by 2,000 years from the era before Qin Hua crossed over, and many systems were very backward.
For example, the system of filial piety and honesty was indeed useful at first, but slowly became a means for the family to expand its strength.
The common people have no way to be promoted, and they can only be in the oppressed class forever, how can the army established under such a system give full play to its strength.
Although Qin Hua has implemented a system similar to the military merit system in the army, the upstarts produced in this way are just some fighting men, and if they want to govern the world well, they still need to advance both civilly and militaryly.
Therefore, Qin Hua decided to implement the imperial examination system in advance.
Because it is now only practiced in Liangzhou, the imperial examination is tentatively held once a year.
There are also three types of imperial examinations, one is civil officials, that is, internal affairs officials at all levels.
One is the military attaché, which is determined by the assessment of the art of war and strategy, and the outstanding can be directly promoted to the commander of a thousand commanders.
The last type is the technical officer, who is mainly assessed for the skill of the job, and if there is any innovative invention, they will receive additional rewards.
The matter of holding the imperial examination has already moved the entire Liangzhou, but I didn't expect Qin Hua to actually issue a new order.
He actually granted amnesty to Liangzhou, as long as it was not a heinous crime, he would cast it all.
However, these people could not return to their localities, and could only be arranged by the government to live in designated areas, with a ten-year observation period, and if they kept to themselves, they could gain equal power with ordinary people.
Some of these people who want to join the army can also be arranged to join the army, but they also need to undergo a certain assessment.
You must know that in the past, amnesty was something that only emperors could do, but I didn't expect Qin Hua to do this kind of thing, which made some well-intentioned people in Liangzhou directly sue the matter to Chang'an.
It's a pity that Emperor Xian couldn't have received their report at all, and Dong Zhuo laughed at this information because he wanted to win over Qin Hua.
However, Li Ru was very interested in Qin Hua's move, and he didn't know why a Liangzhou pastor suddenly wanted amnesty.
This was actually a policy of Qin Hua to increase the population.
There are few people in Liangzhou, although he has absorbed hundreds of thousands of people to join after the yellow scarf before, and tens of thousands of people have joined Liangzhou when Dong Zhuo was in trouble, but it is still too few.
If Qin Hua wants to increase the population, he can only use some side doors.
He took advantage of his wedding to amnesty the prisoners in Liangzhou, and let the new refugees live with them.
At the same time, a policy was issued to encourage childbearing, and if you have a son, you can receive two buckets of rice, two catties of meat, one hundred copper coins, and one zhang of cloth distributed by the government every year.
And it is more than one birth, and there is no cap.
If a man reaches the age of 30 and is not married, he is punished with a fine at least and with a large conscription.
Of course, Qin Hua could not let them join the regular army, but went to the border and those post stations in the Western Regions to serve as defenders.
In addition, families with more children can also get more arable land, and there are a series of preferential activities such as tax exemptions.
The matter of education still cannot be put down, and the original public school has long been overwhelmed, so Qin Hua began to encourage the establishment of private schools.
Private schools are different from public schools in that they are not established by the pastoral government, so students cannot be recruited through the bulletin boards of the government, but all their income goes to them.
And those who set up private schools are mostly local celebrities, and they have a good reputation, but they don't have to worry about the source of students.
As for Qin Hua's subsidy to him, he can provide them with a house for free as a school, but once they are no longer running a private school, the house will still have to be recovered.
However, this is enough, although most of the children of large families have entered public schools, but there is no shortage of students in private schools, and the teachers of these private schools can have a good income as long as they have the school provided by Qin Hua.
In addition to this, Qin Hua also began to build roads in Liangzhou.
Liangzhou itself has official roads, and it is not difficult for caravans to walk, but many official roads have fallen into disrepair, so the government needs to renovate them.
Moreover, the number of official roads is not large, and for some small villages, there is not even a decent road, so Qin Hua began to call on the people everywhere to repair the roads by themselves.
As long as the repaired roads meet the inspection standards, the government can appropriately reduce the taxes of the village in that year.
It's not that Qin Hua doesn't want to send people to do these things by himself, it's just that now all parts of Liangzhou are being reclaimed, and there are really not enough people.
If they are forcibly recruited, it will inevitably damage the morale of the people, and even this matter is very beneficial to them.
Now Qin Hua can only mainly repair those official roads, and the main laborers are prisoners who commit crimes after the amnesty.
There are not many people recruited, and the people need to pay remuneration, Qin Hua doesn't want to make a big move for the time being, so he can only come step by step, first rest the original official road, and then start to build a new official road.
