When Li Wenyuan saw that all the people in the tent had arrived, he said, "Let me tell you about the resettlement of the displaced people. ”

Li Wenyuan pointed to a plain in the northwest of Wuwei County on the map on the ground with a wooden pole and said: "This is a wasteland plain, which was originally a village, but later the villagers fled and became a wasteland with no people. It is located between two rivers. The land is fertile, and there is no problem in housing 20,000 people. The season is still acceptable, so we will plant some more grain now, buy a part of it, and 10,000 sheep, which will be enough for the next autumn harvest. ”

Xue Renyue said: "Does the chief want these homeless people to be officials? ”

Li Wenyuan nodded: "No matter when, you can only speak hard when you have food in your hand." However, these people's harvests can be handed over to two achievements, and the rest can be bought and sold freely, and Renyue you organize people to purchase according to the market price of grain. ”

Xue Renyue nodded, and then Li Wenyuan said: "All the farming tools are purchased by the government, and they will be issued to farmers for free first, and I will give you 10,000 head of cattle later, which can be loaned to farmers who need it, and you don't need money in the first year, and you can pay off the loan within five years after adding it." ”

Li Wenyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "The people of Guantun, when they encounter illness, the government will pay fifty percent, and the people of Guantun will pay fifty percent. I am also going to set up a public school in the Guantun camp, and after the imperial examination in the coming year, I will choose the top 20 to be hired as a gentleman, and the descendants of the Guantun people will be forced to enroll in school to study, and those who do not comply will be fined and confiscated for half a year's harvest. People in the surrounding counties can also send their children to school, only charge basic school fees, and the school will serve meals at noon, which may not be too good, but it will be full. ”

"Of course, not all people are naturally suitable for learning, every child is forced to enter school for one year, after learning the basic daily characters, the children can choose by themselves, or practice martial arts, by a special military attache to teach combat skills, or learn literature, by a clean and virtuous official to teach politics, or Confucianism, dedicated to the study of Confucianism." The more Li Wenyuan's thinking unfolded, the more he spoke, the more confused Xue Ren became, but he still recorded them one by one, and then thought slowly in the future.

Most importantly, Li Wenyuan emphasized: "In the future, these displaced people will be called Guantun people, and they will be registered and issued with a waist card for each person. ”

Li Wenyuan turned his head to Xue Renyue and said: "The government contributes funds, and those officials, big and small, are greedy enough, let them also contribute some money to accumulate some yin virtue for themselves." The money was used to build houses for the officials and residents, and the construction supervision officials of each house were registered, and if something happened, they were severely fined. ”

"In this way, a settlement of 20,000 people will be formed there, and with their families coming slowly, it will become a town that may reach 50,000 people, and new officials must be appointed to manage it, and it cannot be blindly managed by the military." Xue Renyue said.

"Yes, we must build a wall to prevent the Turks, this can be built in winter, I will let the Turks not invade south this winter, we have a winter to slowly build the city wall." Li Wenyuan nodded and said.

"And the name of the city and the officials here?" Xue Renyue said with some excitement that it was the first time he had come into contact with the establishment of officials, and he was inevitably a little excited.

"The name of the city is called Guantun City. If it is not a county or a county, it is a city. There is one city lord, ten main books, one thousand for every thousand people, one hundred people for one hundred people, and fifty people for one captain. The lord of the city, the main book is appointed by the government, and the remaining thousands, hundreds, and chiefs are all elected by the people. Except for the military, everything has a sub-council composed of the main board to put forward a plan, and then submitted it to the presiding council composed of thousands of chiefs to discuss and decide, if the plan proposed by the sub-council is not appropriate, the presiding council can initiate an expanded discussion, and put forward a plan to be discussed and decided by the sub-council. Li Wenyuan said.

"The chief is trying to return the government to the people? The people are greedy for small profits, what if someone spends a lot of money to bribe the people? Xue Renyue opened his mouth in surprise for a long time before muttering.

The ideas put forward by Li Wenyuan have long been accustomed to in later generations, but in the current environment of Heaven and Earth Monarch and Teacher, it is undoubtedly an explosive opinion. Hearing Xue Renyue's question, Li Wenyuan said with a smile: "Thousands of chiefs, hundreds of chiefs, and Wu Chang are all elected once a year, and whether it is an election or a discussion, they are all outnumbered, if a person can buy everyone to support him, it can be regarded as capable." What's more, you must make it clear to the people that if officials break the law, they can launch a discussion to impeach officials, most of them are bandits and are not so afraid of officials. As long as they dare to stand up and criticize, they can incite the people to stand up and supervise the officials all the time, so that the flow of water can not be corrupted, and only by letting the people supervise the officials can we ensure that corruption is eliminated as much as possible. ”

"Later, after a mature management system is explored here, it will be extended to the entire Western Regions, but this trick is okay to win over the people, I am afraid that it will offend a group of officials. There may also be pressure from the Maison. Zhang Juntai said with a smile.

"The family? This is easier to do, this is different from the Central Plains, the strength of the family is very weak, as long as we control the army, they can only fight in a proper manner. Li Wenyuan said with a smile.

"We are even more afraid of Wendou, and the Western Regions have set up a luxury tax to raise soldiers. For each slave who owns a slave, one stone of grain must be handed over. If you don't want to pay it, you can do it, and the government will provide a stone of grain as a ransom for the slave, and the slave can become a free person if he pays it off within five years in the official cantonments set up in various places in the future. Or you can become a free person after joining the army for three years, and even if you are brave in battle, you can even be promoted to an officer. ”

"As soon as this move comes out, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will come out of thin air, how can the governor solve the situation that may arise when there is no land to cultivate?" Xue Renyue said.

"I've visited that even if it's a poor field, it can produce more than one stone in times of drought and flood. Counted as a household of five people, five acres of land is enough to eat for a year. Those who have no land to cultivate are given one stone of grain per year, and the government pays for the purchase. One stone of food is not much, but it can also guarantee that no one will starve to death. What's more, we have official tun fields, which can be used to hire these people or serve as civil servants with the grain here, transport materials during wartime, and build water conservancy and drought relief in their spare time. Li Wenyuan said.

"That part may cost a lot of money, and the government's money will also be tight. What's more, listening to the governor means that the grain tax will be exempted? Xue Renyue exclaimed.

"Yes, the reduction of the grain tax can avoid the exploitation of many officials. The said tax exemption is only five acres and below, and the tax of half a stone per mu per mu is paid more than five acres. As for the question of money, it is enough to recover all the well salt minerals for official use, which can be used to exchange grain money with the Central Plains. Li Wenyuan said: "As for the family's resistance, it is good to directly open the way for the army, and under the people's will, the family can't afford to toss any storms." Only by hiding the wealth from the people can we have the capital to fight a protracted war. ”
