Feng Yi and Kong Xirong left, and the night was already dark.

Han Qian wanted to rest, but his mind was full of things, so he sat in the courtyard and asked Zhao Ting'er to make tea.

Xi Ying, who was sitting on the side and was bored reading an idle book, stood up suddenly, like a female leopard, about to pounce out and push her prey to the ground.

Han Qian looked up and saw a figure squatting on the courtyard wall, his petite face covered with a black cloth, but seeing that the star-like eyes were indeed Yao Xishui, he put down the teacup in his hand, signaled the guards who wanted to come from the outer courtyard to ignore the matter here, stood up and stretched, and asked:

"Miss Yao is really in such a hurry to see me alone?"

"Why do you want to write to ask your father-in-law to serve as a military supervisor in Xuzhou?" Yao Xishui did not jump off the courtyard wall, but like a light civet cat, quietly squatted on the wall and asked.

"I need someone in Xuzhou who can seduce out all the forces that are secretly rebelling against my father and son. Except for Lord Zhang, there are no other suitable candidates for the time being. Han Qian said without concealment.

"Your father and son are already the overlords of Xuzhou, will you really help Emperor Tianyou to seize Tanzhou?" Even though he already knew about Han Daoxun and Han Qian's overall plan, Yao Xishui was still suspicious of Han Qian's true intentions.

"Xuzhou is the jurisdiction of the ancient Yelang country, has Miss Yao ever heard of the word Yelang arrogance?" Han Qian asked rhetorically.

Han Qian meant that he would not be arrogant and thought that he would dare to confront the imperial court if he occupied Xuzhou, but Yao Xishui did not believe it very much.

"If you want to send more spies to Xuzhou, I don't necessarily want to allow it, but I hope you can inform me in advance. If something happens next and injures your people, I won't be sorry for you, right? Han Qian said again.

Yao Xishui didn't respond to this, and disappeared into the night like a raccoon cat......

Feng Yi and Kong Xirong woke up early in the morning, so they went out with their brother Feng Yi and rushed to Furong Garden, where they saw that Han Qian was summoning Zhao Kuo, Han Laoshan, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others to the East Courtyard to order things.

Feng Yi wanted to avoid Feng Yi and Kong Xirong first, but Han Qian called them and said, "You guys wait here for a while." ”

Feng Yi stood aside with Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, and listened to Han Qian have something to tell Han Laoshan to do:

"Although it is a matter of the imperial court to decide who to use as the military envoy, it is not up to us to decide, but in order to avoid going back and forth, it is also a matter of fate for Lord Zhang Ping Zhang to stay in Qianyang City and stand by. The guards of the county king's mansion still have to escort my father's song to Jinling, in order to prevent a small disadvantage to Lord Zhang Pingzhang, you will find a courtyard next to this side in the alley east of Furong Garden, and let Zhang Ping and Lord Zhang move in temporarily, and the guard will also be taken care of by the Furong Garden. ”

"Then it's better to directly imprison Zhang Ping's eunuch." Feng Yi muttered quietly.

Feng Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Feng Yi's sleeve, asking him to pay attention to what he said, after all, they are now under the fence, Han Qian seems to treat them as friends, but in the end, the Han family's father and son have not been able to completely gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and it is their Feng family who is still of some use.

They need to be able to figure out the balance themselves.

After instructing the matter, Han Qian asked Han Laoshan to leave first, and called Feng Yi, Zhao Kuo, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others to the back room to sit down.

Zhao Kuo and Gao Shao's ministers and justices joined the army, and they needed to wait until the imperial court was put down before they could be considered officially appointed, but Han Qian obviously couldn't have the patience to wait for another month or two.

Everything has to be pushed as fast as possible.

The current state judicial member of the army is Feng Jin, the eldest son of Feng Changyu, who is in charge of criminal prisons, arrest and theft, and all matters in the state prison are also under the jurisdiction of the state judicial army.

Han Qian made Gao Shao serve as a judicial member of the army, in addition to the criminal prison arrest and theft, at the same time, he still had to merge the four surnames, the large guest households, the infiltration of people in Tanzhou, and the surveillance inside and outside Qianyang City into Fa Cao.

In addition, forcibly advancing things such as clearing the fields and acres will inevitably encounter resistance, and Han Qian can't always encounter a little situation, so he directly uses the elite of the camp to carry out bloody suppression.

Qingzhang Tianmu will start to advance from the guest nationality in Qianyang County, but as long as the big guest households do not gather to engage in armed confrontation, it is impossible for Han Qian to dispatch the elite of the camp to suppress it, and most of the things, even if they are arrested and interrogated, must be Fa Cao.

In addition to Feng Yi, Han Qian also transferred Guo Nu'er, Guo Que'er and others to Gao Shao for use.

Hu Cao is actually responsible for clearing the acres of land and other things, mainly technical work, and needs Dali's technical officials.

A considerable number of the generals of the Zuo Division stayed in Jinling, and it was difficult for Han Qian to expect them to be able to charge into battle without hesitation, but as ordinary officials, the elite scouts cultivated by the Zuo Division were all qualified, and even most of the children of the Zuo Division had mastered the art of surveying and mapping.

Zhao Kuo and Feng Yi presided over the affairs of Hu Cao, selected twenty or thirty people from Feng's slaves and maids, and then transferred seventy or eighty people from the Wuliuxi construction site, and Hu Cao had more than 100 suitable grassroots officials responsible for clearing the acres of fields.

Qingzhang acres of land is one of them, but in addition to the method of collecting land tax according to the new law this year, those who have hidden fields and households in the autumn grain last year must be relevled according to the newly measured acres of land.

"Replenish the autumn grain?" Feng Yu said hesitantly, "I'm afraid this is going to stir up chaos?" ”

Feng Mi, who had served as a clerk in Yuezhou Prefecture for a long time and knew a lot about practice, guessed that the Han family's father and son's radical promotion of the land tax reform was due to a shortage of money and food, but he was also worried that doing so would make the Han family's father and son's foundation in Xuzhou even more precarious.

In addition to striking grass and startling snakes, there are only 25,000 stones of grain left in the warehouses of Wuqiaoxi, Longya City, and Qianyang City, and if we do not make up for last year's field tax, we will not be able to last in May, let alone wait for this year's field tax to continue.

"Without bloodshed, how can my father and son gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou?" Han Qian waved his hand to erase the doubts in Feng Yu's heart, and asked him to cooperate with Zhao Kuo.

Listening to Han Qian's words, Feng Yi's heart was cold, and he didn't say anything more, so he retired with Gao Shao, Zhao Kuo and others first, and immediately went to the state government to take over the relevant power affairs and promote the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu.

The soldiers and horses that were previously in Xuzhou were divided into prison camps, state camps and water camps, and are now reorganized into the first, second, and third battalions, which are only renamed, and Tian Cheng, Xi Chang, Yang Qin, Lin Zongjing, Zhao Qi and others will also officially serve as battalion commanders, deputy commanders and other generals - Lin Haizheng joined the army as a division worker, Chen Jijiang, Du Junyi, Zheng Tong and others served as engineers, and the craftsman household battalion, the industrial camp and even the Wufeng Mountain Plantation and the work they undertook were all merged into Gongcao.

In this way, the six Cao of the state, in addition to Gong Cao, Shi Cao, and the medical post and education city, the most core Gong Cao, Fa Cao, Hu Cao, and Bing Cao are all under the direct control of Han Qian.

…………

For a long time, the state government has never figured out how many acres of land and households there are in Xuzhou, saying that there are 12,000 households, more than 97,000 mouths, and more than 310,000 mu of grain fields in Xuzhou, which is also the data approved by Wuzong in the previous dynasty, and more than 70 years have passed since now.

In the past 70 years, in addition to the reproduction of Xuzhou's own people, the frequent wars in Tanxiang have also prompted a large number of displaced people to pour in, and Xuzhou itself has also had several civil strife.

There are new reclamation of fields, and there are also abandoned after floods and military disasters, and the actual number of acres at this time is bound to be very different from that of more than 70 years ago.

Qingzhang Tianmu has been forcibly promoted in the vicinity of Qianyang City since late February.

This is also the area where Han Daoxun and Han Qian have the strongest control, and they have already touched the nearby fields earlier, and Hu Cao has transferred a total of more than 200 people to measure the acres of fields, and the speed of progress is the fastest, and by mid-March, the fields owned by the guests around Qianyang City will be measured clearly.

In addition to the nearly 30,000 mu of newly reclaimed grain fields in the Wufeng Mountain Plantation and the more than 107,000 mu of taxable fields that were previously included in the field register, more than 143,000 mu of hidden fields have been cleared.

Qianyang County, as the area with the largest number of Hakka people in Xuzhou, had 33,000 people before Han Daoxun and Han Qian took charge of Xuzhou, which was more than 50% more than the 22,000 reported in the perennial period.

Tanyang and Langxi counties, because they have been under the absolute control of native households for a long time, the number of guest people who have moved in and settled in these years is much smaller, but the two counties should also have a total of 20,000 people, and the number of acres of planted land will not be less than 150,000 mu, which is still twice as high as the number of acres of fields summarized before.

This does not take into account the newly cultivated fields in the middle of the Chinese Mountains as far north as Longya Mountain.

The number of acres of land owned by the Hakka people in Qianyang County has been cleared, and the next step is to make up for last year's autumn grain.

The supplementary levy involves almost all the large guest households in Qianyang County, which is not an easy matter.

In early March, Han Daoxun issued an order to recruit government officials and reserve soldiers for the Xuzhou camp from all the exiles in Qianyang.

As long as Ding Zhuang, who dragged his family and led the exile in Xuzhou, applied for recruitment, in addition to receiving a monthly salary of 400 yuan, he also gave his dependents ten acres of ration fields, one acre of homestead land, and two acres of mulberry land.

At present, Wufengshan Plantation has reclaimed nearly 30,000 acres of grain fields in the northwest of Qianyang City, and it is mainly to recruit homeless disciples Ding Zhuang to cultivate.

The state government issued a recruitment order to give such a preferential policy, in fact, the homeless people Ding Zhuang recruited by the plantation in the past year were directly naturalized into new households in Qianyang County.

Since they are all employees of the plantation, the basic situation is relatively clear, and there is no need for additional screening, and the recruitment can be completed in just a few days.

By the end of March, the number of men and horses in the Xuzhou army had increased dramatically to 2,500, and the ranks of the state government officials had also expanded to 300.

After several major anti-levy households were arrested and imprisoned, the matter of making up the levy in Qianyang County also proceeded very quickly, and by early April, the state government had requisitioned and fined more than 16,000 stone of corn from Qianyang County and paid more than 3,000 yuan in taxes.

In addition, after deducting expenses, the Wufengshan plantation can also harvest more than 6,000 stone of wheat, which can almost delay the financial crisis in Xuzhou until the end of June.
