"Pilot?" Huang Zhixuan looked puzzled.

"That's right, the so-called pilot means that some policies are tried in your county first, and if it works, there is no problem, and it will be implemented in the whole county." When Wang Junlin said this, he remembered that a certain great man in later generations drew a circle, and then the special zone appeared, completely opening the curtain of reform and opening up.

Wang Junlin knew very well that if he wanted to really control Fanyang County, he had to solve the problem of land annexation, in fact, the current Great Sui finally went to extinction, of course, because Yang Guang consumed national strength like a madman, and also had to wage war with foreign countries, and the officials were controlled by the aristocracy, most of them only thought about family and personal interests, and few of them served the country and the people.

But in fact, there is another fundamental reason - that is, the problem of land annexation is too serious, before the fall of every dynasty in history, it is the time when land annexation reaches its most serious, on the contrary, when the country is just established, it is the time when the people own the most land.

It's just that with the passage of time, the farmland in the hands of the broad masses of the people gradually disappeared, and eventually became tenant farmers of the landlord class. This process took two or three hundred years to complete in the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and even the previous Han Dynasty, but after the Great Sui inherited the Northern Zhou court, it was like this from the beginning, so there are actually deep-seated reasons for Sui II.

Wang Junlin came prepared, as early as half a month ago, when he was still in the county seat, he had reached a consensus with Zhao Zhanpeng, who served as the guard, so the process of persuading Huang Zhixuan, or coercing and seducing Huang Zhixuan, was very smooth.

The first step for Wang Junlin was to clean up all the hidden fields.

The so-called hidden fields are the number of hidden fields that have been concealed, and the spies under Shen Guo'er have already found out how many hidden fields Fangcheng County has.

There are as many as 1.15 million mu of hidden fields in Fangcheng County, and most of them are ripe and fertile fields. Based on the calculation of half a stone per mu of land, Fangcheng County will receive nearly 600,000 stone grain less every year.

Tax evasion has existed since ancient times, which is not surprising in itself, from the perspective of the landlords, it is natural to feel that this is the most important thing they should do, and in the Sui Dynasty, which is almost entirely dominated by the aristocratic landlord class, this situation will naturally become more and more serious.

In accordance with Wang Junlin's instructions, the Fangcheng County government issued an announcement that all landlords of all sizes in Fangcheng County were given one month to take the initiative to report to the situation, and when the time came, they would be registered according to the good land reported by each family.

Wang Junlin knows very well that no matter when, there are a lot of people who are lucky, so Wang Junlin is ready to get a large number of official land, and he will not suffer any backlash from this approach, because tax evasion is the first, Lord Taishou also let the government give you time and opportunity, you yourself said that there are only 500 acres in the house, then it will naturally be calculated for you according to what you said, as for the results of the investigation, your family is 2,000 acres, sorry, the other 1,500 acres are not your family's, it is the imperial court's, and it is the government's public land.

With the cooperation of Huang Zhixuan, who is both a county commander and a local snake, the first step of Wang Junlin's pilot work was carried out smoothly.

Fangcheng County's original registered fertile land of 710,000 mu was re-reported by all the landlords, and a month later it became 1.17 million mu, and then Wang Junlin ordered people to forcibly measure the land, and the result was 1.82 million mu in the whole county. In this way, there will be 650,000 mu more official land in Fangcheng County.

Landlords and aristocrats who are confused and have less land will naturally make trouble, this problem is actually very easy to solve, the key depends on whether they dare to kill, whether they dare to act according to law, of course, it mainly depends on whose hands the army is in their hands, Wang Junlin sent county soldiers to arrest the two most ferocious landlords who openly made trouble for the crime of treason, let the county government preside over the beheading, and arrested more than 30 landlords who privately resisted in tandem, and after being put in prison, the matter was settled.

These things have long been expected by Wang Junlin, after all, since ancient times, the reform is good, and the law is changed, how can there be no dead people without bloodshed, the agrarian revolution is actually the most important part of the reform since ancient times, a county only died two landlords, arrested more than 30 people, this is actually quite little, of course, this is directly related to Wang Junlin is the Taishou of Fanyang County and personally sits in Fangcheng County.

Huang Zhixuan has been an official in the county for many years and is very familiar with local affairs, although he knows that there should be a lot of hidden fields in the county, after all, their Huang family has underreported a lot of good land before for tax evasion, but when he knew that after the county's large and small landlords reported, the people sent by Lord Taishou forcibly measured out 650,000 mu of farmland again, he couldn't help but be surprised.

If these fields are converted into silver, in Fanyang County, one mu of Shangtian with an annual output of three stones of grain is converted into ten taels of silver, and the 650,000 official fields newly obtained in Fangcheng County are mostly Shangtian, almost worth nearly five million taels of silver, such a huge benefit is enough to arouse the greed of too many people. But when the county magistrate of Fangcheng County used his power to replace all the fields of their family with good fields, and then the famous Lord Taishou directly ordered the beheading to be cut off despite the pleas of Zhao Zhanpeng and Huang Zhixuan, no one dared to stretch out his hand.

However, Wang Junlin has not been short of silver in the last year or two, but he needs fields, to be precise, he needs tenant farmers on these fields, and 650,000 acres of official land can almost accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 tenant farmers.

And this is not over, Wang Junlin replaced about 430,000 mu of these 650,000 mu of Shangtian with the noble landlords of Fangcheng County with Zhongxia Tian, so that Guantian finally became 970,000 mu of Zhongxia Tian, and all of them were concentrated in Fangcheng County near the east sea, which gave more than 20,000 tenant farmers and more than 70,000 tenant farmers.

These official fields Wang Junlin was nominally handed over to these people in the original county government of Fangcheng County, but in fact he planned to implement the tuntian system, and he would put these nearly 70,000 tenants around the 970,000 acres of middle and lower fields, with 100 households as a village, forming more than 100 villages, each village will be appointed by the salt farm, and after intensive training of the tun chief, there will be a selected field chief under the tun chief, each field chief is in charge of ten households, and an organization has been established, as well as a law enforcement team, a level of management, and regular meetings. There are strict rules and regulations, system norms and requirements, and they are firmly controlled in their hands.

Of course, in order to increase the enthusiasm of these 70,000 tenants, the mature methods of increasing production in the salt works will be gradually implemented, some water conservancy facilities will also be repaired, and the grain tax they pay is less than half of the grain tax they originally paid to the landlords.

When the time is ripe later, Wang Junlin will also organize the people among the more than 70,000 tenants to conduct rotation training and reserve military forces.
