Chapter 247: Tuntian
For the people, living in this troubled time seems to be no matter where they are, there will never be less killing. Both inside and outside the city.
Those who hold power and power, for the greater good, greater fame and fortune, seem to never tire of fighting and killing.
Whether you are defeated or dying, or if you become famous, will you turn into a pile of loess in the end? For the weaker people, all they ask for is a full meal every day.
It's just that, in this troubled world, a full meal may not be so easy to get.
Wei Zhongdao successfully sat in the position of the head of the Wei family, and with the help of the Wei family, a wealthy giant, Wen Han did not have to look ahead and shrink back from what he wanted to do next.
Under the discussion of Wen Han and Xi Long, their next step was to ask the Wei family to secretly acquire the wasteland in Hedong for them. Why?
All causes, Wen Han's thoughts, the Tuntian system.
The cantonment system refers to the use of soldiers and peasants to cultivate wasteland in order to obtain military supplies and tax rations. However, this Tuntian is not Cao Cao's invention, in fact, as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there was already a measure of Tuntian.
At that time, when Qin Shi Huang was at war with the Xiongnu, he found that each war did not last long, but the Xiongnu often invaded the border, so in order to be able to fight for a long time.
The first emperor made Meng Tian send 100,000 people to attack Hu in the north, and learned that the south of the river, because the river was blocked, built 44 county towns, and let 100,000 soldiers in the border tuntian, in order to fill the grain, the grain was enough, and the Xiongnu could fight for a long time.
Later, Cao Cao improved the measure of Tuntian and vigorously promoted it. Tuntian was divided into military tun and min tun. The method of collecting taxes on the tuntian people is also known as the 'art of dividing the fields', that is, the government provides land and the harvested grain is divided proportionally. In this way, the people will have food to eat, and they will be able to live and work with peace of mind.
Wen Han modified Tuntian slightly, and Cao Cao's technique of dividing the field was six! Four points, while Wen Han was five or five. Because of this, there are many displaced people in Hedong, and these people have no capital to buy grain seeds.
Wen Han changed this grain seed to be produced by the government. In this way, it will be able to attract most of the displaced people to join, and the implementation of Tuntian will also cover the entire Hedong at a very fast speed.
These displaced people have land to cultivate and food to eat, so they are satisfied. Then they will not be lured by the rebel thieves around the east of the river to join the rebels. In this way, the spread of rebellion can also be greatly reduced. And Wen Han has gained a lot of benefits, with sufficient food, then he is not afraid, and the wealthy people in Hedong will raise the price of grain to threaten him. Moreover, with enough food, he can save a lot of money and not have to buy rations from others.
If he has food, he can reduce rebellions, so that the people and displaced people can live and work in peace and contentment, and he does not have to worry about the future war, and there is no food to use. This is a win-win-win-win-win measure.
Xi Long's eyes lit up, as if he was looking at a god, looking at Wen Han. The more he used this kind of vision, the more embarrassed Wen Han became. Because this tuntian system is almost not much different from what Cao Cao practiced. Wen Han stole the idea of his best friend Cao Cao, and he inevitably felt a little ashamed in his heart.
Shame is shame, though. Now if he wants to govern Hedong well, this tuntian system must be used. Those who do big things are not informal, Wen Han had to tell himself so.
"The Lord is truly a man of God. As soon as this tuntian system came out, the wealthy people in Hedong could no longer pose a threat to the lord in this grain. Moreover, this tuntian system will be of great benefit to the development of the entire Hedong forces in the future. There are enough rations for the soldiers... We'll be able to..."
"Shhh There are still many difficult problems in the implementation of this measure. First of all, most of the land in the east of the river is in the hands of wealthy families. To implement this measure, it is necessary to have land. ”
"Hehe, the lord doesn't have to worry about this. With the Wei family here, we don't have to come forward. Let them secretly acquire. Moreover, this tuntian does not need fertile land, but wasteland. The wasteland is of little use, and if someone is willing to collect it at a good price, those wealthy people will definitely make a move. ”
"Hmm. However, in order not to be noticed. Zhicai, you can ask Wei Zhongdao to find a few more families who are good friends with the Wei family to collect it together. If so, only the Wei family will do this, Wei Zhongdao and I are good friends, this matter is already well-known in Hedong, I am afraid that it will be discovered by some well-intentioned people. ”
"My lord's concern is very reasonable. In this way, I have a plan. also asked the lord and Wei Zhongdao to put on a good show in front of the people of Hedong. made all Hedong people think that Wei Zhongdao and the lord turned their faces.
Then the lord first came forward to buy the wasteland, and then the Wei family intended to oppose the lord, and also bought the land on a large scale, and contacted the wealthy families who were good friends with him to fight for the land with the lord.
If two tigers fight, they will lose both. Whether it is on the side of the main government or the Wei family, these wealthy people are happy to see you hurt the muscles and bones of your power because of the fight.
When they were still in the dark, with a good show, to watch the battle between the lord and the Wei family, most of the wasteland in the east of the river had fallen into the lord's pocket unconsciously. ”
"Wonderful. Zhicai is worthy of being my son's room. How to act in this play, please teach me Zhicai. ”
Wen Han's face was full of ecstasy, but Xi Long had a straight face, and first bowed down to Wen Han to apologize.
"Please forgive me for what I am going to say later. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare say. ”
"You slippery head, I know that you are my indispensable person. In any case, I will not blame you. Why would you be so pretentious? Okay, whatever you say later, I won't blame. ”
"In this world, there is only one person who can make Wei Zhongdao and the lord lose their minds and fight. That is the daughter of Cai Gong. There is no daughter of Cai Gong in this play, but I am afraid that I will not be able to cover the wealthy people in Hedong. ”
Wen Han frowned, his eyes froze, okay, this drama dragon dared to hit Yan'er with his idea.
"I still have to ask Yan'er for her opinion on this matter, if she refuses, I would rather give up this plan."
"My lord, those who achieve great things are not informal. You, this! ”
"Zhicai, Yan'er is someone I cherish. How could I be so selfish and ignore her feelings. Needless to say, I'll consider it with Yan'er. ”
Wen Han didn't seem to want to get entangled with Xi Long on this topic, and after sighing in annoyance, he waved his sleeves and left. At the same time, at the foot of the backyard wall in the house, a shadow shrank slightly.
Xi Long seemed to hear some movement, shaking his head on the surface, but secretly laughing at the corner of his mouth.
At noon, Cai Yan lives in the west chamber of the Taishou Mansion, the place is not big, but there is a garden in front of the house, the garden is full of Cai Yan's favorite orchids, and there is a stone table in the garden.
Every day, Wen Han will take some time out at noon to accompany Cai Yan. Today is of course no exception, but Wen Han was about to walk to the West Chamber, but suddenly stopped.
Several azure blue butterflies flew out of the West Chamber, flapping their beautiful wings, and flew in front of Wen Han in a circle, as if to lure Wen Han in.
"Eh, this drama is really. How do you put your mind on Yan'er, how do I talk to Yan'er? ”
Just as Wen Han was full of distress and paced away. The crisp sound of the piano sounded, followed by a beautiful melody, like a spring breeze, which made people feel calm.
Wen Han stopped and listened to the sound of the piano quietly, and the distress on his face gradually faded.
After a while, the sound of the piano slowly stopped. Wen Hanshang was intoxicated with the timbre, but at this time, a woman's voice as beautiful as a yellow warbler came from the west chamber.
"Why did San Lang stop moving in front of Yan'er Courtyard. Could it be that San Lang is tired of Yan'er? ”
Cai Yan's voice was a little resentful, and Wen Han's face changed when he heard it, and he hurriedly walked into the West Chamber. I saw Cai Yan in a pale yellow butterfly silk dress, sitting at the stone table, so beautiful that people took their breath.
"Yan'er, how can I get tired of you. It's too late for me to hurt you. It's just..."
"Did San Lang ever think that Yan'er was a family?"
"Of course. Yan'er is not only my family, but also my wife. ”
Wen Han was anxious, and his last sentence couldn't help but seem a little abrupt and beautiful. Cai Yan heard Wen Han call her a wife who had not passed through the door for the first time, and he had the intention of marrying her. Suddenly, a beautiful goose egg face was as red as an apple, and the big eyes with water waves were lower and more welcoming, and Wen Han was sluggish again.
"Yan'er promised San Lang."
"Ah~! Yan'er promised me, I, I, this. I immediately went to prepare. ”
Wen Han thought that Cai Yan had promised to marry him, but he immediately looked at a loss and looked stupid. didn't care if the timing was inappropriate, so he wanted to take Cai Yan into the door immediately.
Seeing Wen Han's silly and cute and innocent appearance, Cai Yan couldn't help but smile in a low voice, and then asked.
"San Lang, what are you going to prepare?"
"Of course, it's a big wedding."
Wen Han became nervous, and even his mouth was knotted. Cai Yan realized that Wen Han had misunderstood her, but Wen Han's words made her both happy and ashamed.
"Saburo... You are mistaken. I, I, I mean, promised to go with you to act in the play that Mr. said. ”
"Ahh Oh..."
Wen Han is like a child who has just been announced to have scored 100 points in the test, and then is told by the teacher that the name was mispronounced, with a dejected face.
I don't know why, Wen Han, who is majestic and famous on all sides, is as determined as Wen Han, who is as old as a person in the third life, in front of Cai Yan, his IQ is as low as a three-year-old child.
"Huh. San Lang, it's been a long time since you've played that Liang Zhu with Yan'er. I don't know Yan'er, is it an honor to be able to play this song with San Lang again today? ”
Cai Yan smiled softly, the laughter was intoxicating, she walked into the room step by step, there was a fresh fragrance on her body, Wen Han looked at Cai Yan's figure blankly.
When Cai Yan came out again, he was holding a strange musical instrument in his hand.
This instrument is considered a treasure by her, and she has to wipe it every day. It has a unique name called Erhu.
