Chapter 65: Asking for the Yellow Turban Again
Not long after, an official dressed as a county magistrate in his thirties came, saluting Zhao Qian while looking at Han Yi curiously, I don't know why there was a person wearing iron shackles in the county guard's council hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhao Qian casually pointed at Han Yi and the official, motioned for the two to speak by themselves, and continued to close their eyes and recuperate. The officer asked curiously, "I don't know what your excellency is ......?"
Han Yi smiled and bowed: "A certain is to summon the tomb, Han Yi is also?" ā
The official said curiously: "Summoning Han Yi? This official has only heard of Qiu Yi of Zhaoling, but he has not heard of Han Yi's name. Unknown Excellency ......"
Han Yi said with a smile: "Qiu Yi is the son of the Qiu clan in Zhaoling, the son-in-law of the Zhu clan. Three months ago, he had already stood on his own and changed his surname to Han, which was based on Qiu Yi and Han Yi. ā
The official was furious and shouted: "It turns out that you are Qiu Yi, the erector of Zhaoling, you have caused me to have a city that cannot be returned, and a county that cannot be governed, and you have made me so miserable......
Han Yi smiled: "It's Han Yi now." ā
The official waved his hand and shouted: "I don't care if you are Qiu Yi or Han Yi, you are a thief, you are a thief, you are raising an army in it, you are conspiring against you, and you intend to cause chaos." It's really nice to finally be able to tie your hands today. Hahaha......"
Han Yi smiled and waited for the official to finish laughing, and then asked, "Is it possible that if Han is captured, the matter of Haiyang can be easily confessed?" ā
The official was stunned and speechless, and said for a while: "At least the group of thieves has no leader, and then kill the chickens and monkeys, and the matter of the sea bream can be solved." ā
Han Yi asked, "How do Gan County Jun want to solve it?" Killing a certain person, for the 30,000 thieves in the territory of Snapper, will it be a peaceful solution? Seeing that the autumn harvest is in sight, the thieves who have finally settled down, aren't Gan Xianjun afraid that they will cause trouble again? ā
Gan Lin was silent, and Liang Jiufang muttered to himself: "But if I don't kill you, how should I do the matter of Snapper?" ā
Han Yi asked with a smile: "What is difficult to do in Haiyang County, Gan County Jun is not bothered to talk about it." Or in the eyes of Gan County, it is not worth mentioning. ā
Gan Lin said angrily: "Not worth mentioning? More than 13,000 old people have returned from the city of Snapyang, and more than 600 or 700 people from more than a dozen families have no home, no food to eat, no land to plant, you say this is not worth mentioning? ā
Han Yi said: "It's really not worth mentioning. ā
Seeing that Gan Lin was about to get angry again, Han Yi hurriedly stopped his hand and said, "You listen to me slowly, and it's not too late to see if I'm justified or unreasonable." ā
Gan Lin glared angrily and said, "Okay, this official will see what tricks you can come up with today?" ā
Han Yi thought about it and said: "A person's daily ration is calculated as two catties, which is sixty catties in a month, and six stones of grain in a year. More than 13,000 mouthfuls, no, according to 14,000 mouthfuls, it is 84,000 stone of grain in a year......"
Gan Lin interjected: "Yes, it is 80,000 stone of grain." It turns out that there are 400,000 grains in the city of Snapyang, plus 100,000 grains in Xinyang, which is 500,000. It was evenly distributed to the people of the seven counties, and some grain was transferred from other counties, and most of the returned people from the seven counties have settled down. Only I, the people of Haiyang, are trapped outside the county, sitting and eating in the mountains and having nowhere to go. But there are 30,000 thieves in the territory of Haiyang who do not obey the discipline, bully the weak, and intend to dominate one side, only respect your Han Yi's order. You say, you're not damned. ā
Han Yi said helplessly: "Gan Xianjun is always so eager that he doesn't allow me to finish my words. In this way, how can things be solved? It's better to be restless. ā
Gan Lin sulked and waved his hand: "Okay, you say, you say." ā
Han Yi said: "There will be more than 80,000 stones of grain in Jianyang County in the near future, and there will be this grain ......."
Gan Lin glared at him and shouted, "Where is there still 80,000 stone of grain in Jianyang County?" Are you saying that the 30,000 thieves are willing to give 80,000 stone of grain? How is this possible? They are all fierce and vicious, and they are not even willing to pay the poll tax, will they be willing to give out 80,000 stone of grain? ā
Han Yi said: "I once made an agreement with them that after the harvest every year, 20% of the income will be paid as a tax ......."
Gan Lin's eyes widened again, and he asked in surprise: "The court's regular tax is only fifteen taxes and one, and they are willing to pay twenty percent of the tax if you ask them?" ā
Han Yi replied: "The regular tax of the court is fifteen taxes and one, but what about the poll tax? What about miscellaneous taxes? Labor tax? Taxes on conscription and other taxes, taken together, exceed sixty percent of the annual harvest. If I only take 20% of their taxes and deduct everything else, why will they not want to? ā
Gan Lin muttered to himself: "There are 270,000 acres of land in Haiyang, 30,000 acres of Shangtian, and each mu can produce four stone millet; 160,000 acres of Zhongtian, which can produce two stones and five buckets of millet; 80,000 acres of lower field, can produce one stone and two buckets of millet. So 270,000 acres...... Obediently, there is a regular tax of 120,000 stones? ā
Han Yi said with a smile: "Yes, it is three times more than the previous 40,000 stone tax." However, this year, there is no animal power to cultivate, and the sowing is late, and the harvest is probably not so much, at most, according to the harvest of 70%, there is only about 80,000 stone of grain. ā
Gan Lin slapped his leg and shouted: "That's enough, 80,000 stones, 80,000 stones, how much can be done with this." ā
Han Yi said: "Yes, the most important thing to do is nothing more than money and food." As soon as Gan Xianjun arrived, he had a regular tax of 80,000 stones, and with this 80,000 stone of grain, what could not be solved? ā
Gan Lin nodded again and again, and soon, he said with a sad face: "It's just that the 30,000 thieves don't listen to the order, which is an uneasy factor in the county." There are still 14,000 people who have no land to plant, and they will eventually sit and eat empty. And ......"
Han Yi said: "Gan Xianjun is always a thief and a thief, you don't regard them as good citizens, how can they regard you as the ruler of a hundred miles?" As long as Gan Xianjun can regard them as people, they will be able to feel at ease and regard Gan Xianjun as their parents. You must know that among these 30,000 people, there are 5,000 soldiers in the Ming War. Who would dare to peep at the thieves near and far in the city, no matter how chaotic the world is, the city should be able to live in peace and worry. As for the 14,000 landless people, Gan County Jun has food in hand, so why panic. You can reclaim wasteland in the county, or change to another job, there is always a solution. ā
Gan Lin said yes again and again, and said: "It's just that there are more than a dozen local Shihao in Haiyang, and they originally had no less than 60,000 acres of land, but this is a difficult thing to do." ā
At this time, Zhao Qian, who was close his eyes and recuperate without saying a word, said: "Gan Zishen, you really don't know anything, there are 44,000 people, this is more than 8,000 households. Since the rebellion, the counties have not had only three or four thousand households. If you devote yourself to development for several years, you will not be promoted from the county magistrate of 400 stone to the position of county magistrate of 600 stone. It's such a good thing, but you're still struggling with it. It really doesn't make sense. ā
"Those dozen or so Shihao are not famous people. Since the city of Snappy cannot accommodate them, I can make up my mind and place them in the counties near Snappy. As much land as there is, give them it. Anyway, there are fewer people in other counties and more land, so it's not bad. There are no stalks in Haiyang County, and you, the king of the county, are not doing it freely. Even I envy you. ā
Gan Lin thought about it, it really was. The Shihao of a county often hold important positions in the county, and the chief of a county has to rely on them to complete everything, which is difficult to go smoothly. In addition, the county sergeant often annexed and concealed land and population, so that the court could not collect the positive taxes that should be collected. On the contrary, the taxes collected are often several times higher than the regular taxes, and the apportionment of various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes has caused untold suffering to the people of a county. It can also be said that most of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was caused by them.
Without their constraints, Gan Lin doesn't need to engage in apportionment at every turn, his reputation is good, and his popularity is also high, so he will be very happy to be at ease in the future. Even the post-war recovery and development of Snapyang City is just going to be faster than other counties in Runan. Gan Linchong thanked Zhao Qian and Han Yi again and again, and the corners of his mouth smiled together.
Zhao Qian waved his hand and said, "This matter is over, but I have other important things that the two of you need to do." ā
Gan Lin solemnly replied: "Please also ask the county keeper to command." ā
Han Yi looked at Zhao Qian in astonishment, he was just a white body, how could there be something important that involved him. But since Zhao Qian has already said it, he can only listen to it.
Zhao Qian rubbed his brows and said: "After Zhang Mancheng, the first of the Nanyang Yellow Turban thieves, raised his army, he called himself a 'divine envoy', supported tens of thousands of people, killed the county guard Chu Gong, and stationed in Wancheng for more than 100 days. Later, he was too guarded by Qin Jie, and Zhang Mancheng was killed. The remaining soldiers of the Yellow Turban raised Zhao Hong as the commander again, and the number of people became more and more, reaching more than 100,000 people. Xixiang Hou, the town thief Zhonglang combined Zhu Jun, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xu Xuan and Qin Jie, a total of more than 18,000 people, to attack Zhao Hong, from June to August, but never able to win. ā
Later, Zhu Gongwei heard that Runan had singled out 200,000 Yellow Turbans, and thought that the soldiers of Runan County were the best in the world, so he specially invited the court to transfer 10,000 soldiers from Runan County to Nanyang to help in the war. Han Mingyuan, you should know everything about the thieves and soldiers in Runan, what do you think of Zhu Gongwei's performance? ā
Han Yi hesitated: "This, Yi is just a white body, and he doesn't dare to arbitrarily comment on the military affairs of the DPRK and China." ā
Zhao Qian snorted coldly and said: "I want to show you as the Sima of the temporary army, summoning 3,000 soldiers from Jianyang and 7,000 soldiers from Rendezvous County, a total of 10,000 people to go to Nanyang to help in the war, what do you think?" ā
Han Yi lamented: "In the past, he was a temporary military Sima, and now he is a subordinate to the next level, a temporary military Sima." Lord County Guard is also too stingy, why not directly appoint him as the Sima of the True Zuo Army? ā
Zhao Qian snorted coldly: "Officials above three hundred stones are all appointed by the court. Brother Wen Zhaowu is only a county magistrate of only 500 stones, how can he be the military commander of Qianshi? Although you are the temporary military commander of 600 stone this time, you are the 2,000 stone Runan Taishou of me, and you should be able to distinguish which is more important. If it weren't for Qiu Jiyu and Zhu Yizhong's absence, why would I need to look for you? ā
Han Yi shook his head and sighed: "If there is no real official position, no matter who appointed it, he is not strong, and he will inevitably tremble and restrain his hands, how can he lead the army to conquer." It's not good to say, but the county keeper has to appoint me to a real official position, right? ā
Zhao Qian was laughed at by Han Yi's rogue appearance, but if he wanted to use people, he had no obvious reward, but he was a little stingy. can only say: "Okay, it's up to you, how about Cao Shi, the left thief of Baishi?" ā
Under the county guard, there are "five officials under the door", and the thief Cao is one of them, the main thief. The main position is the thief Cao Peng, and there is a history under the pen, and the history is divided into middle, left, and right thief Cao history. It is a private subordinate of the county guard, with the county guard as the king, and is also not an official official of the court. However, you can rely on the authority of Taishou, the position is humble and powerful, and it is still very useful to speak in the territory of Runan County.
After doing this position, whether it is an official or a general in the future, it will be a big resume, which can be used as a proof of inspection for future promotion. Although Han Yi was happy on his face, he responded with a sad face: "Yes, Lord Fujun." ā
