The county officials were still losing their minds, Zhang Liao snorted coldly, and Hushou was the first to react, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am willing to drive for the king." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The other county officials also reacted and hurriedly echoed: "I am willing to drive for the king." ”

Zhang Liao said lightly: "Yuan Yuanjun was once a servant, and he had to get rid of the big difficulties, and he was appointed to the party too much, but the knife is useless, I hope you can do it yourself." ”

"Mrs. Yuan?"

Hushou immediately knew Yuan Ji's identity, and his expression suddenly became a little more respectful, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Hushou meets Yuan Yuanjun." ”

The other county officials heard the word "servant", and saw that the county was so respectful, and they hurriedly echoed the salute, and they didn't dare to slack off in their hearts anymore.

Yuan Ji nodded, and in front of a group of county officials, he bowed to Zhang Liao: "There is General Lao Wen sitting in Huguan to pacify the thieves." ”

Zhang Liao laughed: "Why should Yuan Yuanjun be polite, he should be watching and helping each other." ”

When the county officials heard that this Shenshen Wen General actually wanted to stay in Huguan, they couldn't help but be more cautious and cautious, they had just seen the power of this General Wen, Gong Cao Shi Yang Ling said that he would kill him, and even Yang Feng, the black mountain captain who was rampant in Taihang Mountain, was not afraid at all, especially those of them who dared to slack off.

On the same day, several new Cao Peng officially took office, and among the five people replaced, Zhou Mingshi was Zhou Hui's brother Zhou Kuang, but it was time to change his name, and Xu Shu was also hired by Zhang Liao, as for his studies, he would not be delayed with Yuan Jixue.

In the past few months in Hedong, Zhao and the two generals who were also captured by Zhang Liao were impressed by Zhang Liao's ambition, charm, force and military management methods, and have been integrated into Zhang Liao's army.

Among the three generals, and the youngest recruit the most capable, righteous, decisive, quite insightful, Zhang Liao has talked with him many times, both of them have benefited a lot, this time to the party will bring him on, although only a thief Cao, than the original status in the Han Fu army, but the actual control of the army is a lot, but it is a great experience.

In addition to these three people, the other two are natives of Shangdang.

Chang Lin was originally a native of Wen County, Hanoi, at the beginning of last year, when the Kwantung princes raised troops, Wang Kuang searched the place and captured Chang Lin's uncle, after Chang Lin rescued his uncle, he took his people to take refuge in the Shangdang and cultivate in the mountains around Lu County.

This person is very ethical, very famous in history, successively served as the son of heaven of Cao Wei for three generations, was respected by Sima Yi, Zhang Liao knew this person, when the shadow inadvertently brought back the news of him, Zhang Liao immediately went to visit him, talked with him all night, and persuaded him to go out of the mountain to help.

Chang Lin recommended Feng Tian again, Feng Tian belongs to the Feng family, the largest family in the Shangdang, his ancestor is the Shangdang Taishou Feng Pavilion who caused the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping during the Warring States Period, the family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and now it is scattered everywhere, and this Feng Tian is the most virtuous family.

With the help of such a virtuous local person, Zhang Liao was overjoyed, and directly appointed Feng Tian as Gongcao, with Feng Tian's fame and local influence, it was enough to help Yuan Ji quickly take control of Shangdang County, and also reduced a lot of backlash from the local area.

On the second day of his tenure, the new Taishou launched a series of decrees on Dutian, Household Formation, Tuntian, and Xingxue, and strictly prohibited Haoqiang from privately investing in the department.

After the decree was issued, several powerful families in the county intended to resist, but they were quickly broken by General Wen's troops.

The powerful power of Shangdang County is similar to that of Hedong, the only difference is that Shangdang County is surrounded by mountains, located in Taihang, affected by hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops, there are many bandits in this area, and many thieves are originally Black Mountain bandit branches.

A few days later, several more powerful families were breached, but this time it was not General Wen's hand, but the famous ghost-faced thief. The ghost-faced thieves wiped out four or five bandits in a row, and broke several Haoqiang, leaving evidence that they colluded with the thieves to murder Xintaishou and did not fulfill the contract.

This is naturally Zhang Liao's means, he is in Shangdang, there is no restriction in Hedong, and he directly uses the momentum of thunder to sweep away all obstacles in one fell swoop, and strive to control Shangdang County as soon as possible.

First, this is the most effective means, and second, time is pressing, so he must rush to complete all the affairs of the field and the household before the spring ploughing, and do a good job in preparing for the tuntian field of repairing and dividing the field.

Because Shangdang County is located in the highlands of the mountains, unlike Hedong County, especially the counties to the north, only one crop of grain can be planted every year, and all preparations must be made before spring ploughing, otherwise it will be delayed for a whole year.

For this reason, Zhang Liao also didn't care about the sequelae brought about by the thunder method, and he had other means to resolve it.

In Shangdang County, Zhang Liao directly implemented the new tax law, and he changed the field tax from 30 taxes to 10 taxes and 1 tax, but exempted the oral tax and halved the tax.

In this way, although the people's land tax was heavy, the poll tax for children and teenagers under the age of 15 was exempted, and the poll tax for adults over the age of 15 was also exempted by half.

Zhang Liao's reduction of poll tax and increase the land endowment were not only to make the decree of the Dutian household easier to implement, but also to alleviate the land annexation of Haoqiang.

With less poll tax, the people are naturally unwilling to endure more than 30% or even 50% of the land rent under the command of Haoqiang.

When the land is heavy, the rich and powerful will naturally have to pay more taxes, and the more land they annex, the more they will pay.

Through this tax reform, in which the poll tax is tilted towards the land tax, the pressure of taxation is shifted from the common people to the powerful and powerful, and the overall tax received by the county government will not decrease, or even more.

However, it is going to offend Haoqiang, but what is Zhang Liao afraid of, not to mention that this field tax is not high, but all Haoqiang families with public intentions and conscience will naturally not have much repercussions, and those unscrupulous and greedy Haoqiang are the targets that Zhang Liao wants to clean up.

In the middle of February, Shangdang County was changing vigorously, the fierce and powerful in the county were basically swept away, the fields were re-measured, the people were organized into more than 100,000 households, and the fields were being reclaimed and tuntian everywhere, and schools were also being built, and there was a new atmosphere everywhere.

On March 15, there was another news that shocked Shangdang County, the black mountain captain of the mighty Taihang Mountain intended to attack Shangdang County, and was defeated by General Wen with troops in Huguan, and was copied by the ghost-faced thief, Yang Feng fled in a hurry, but was killed by General Wen on the road, forced back the ghost-faced thief, and captured tens of thousands of thieves in one fell swoop!

Black Mountain Captain Yang Feng is the largest Black Mountain thief in Taihang Mountain except for Zhang Yan, the commander of the Ping Lang Lang, and was reluctantly appointed as the captain of Montenegro by Emperor Ling during the Zhongping period, and his fame was shocking, but now he was killed by General Wen, and the counties were all shocked!

And General Wen had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and those Haoqiang who were originally secretly connected with the thieves were silent, and they didn't dare to make the slightest move.

Shangdang County was completely settled. (To be continued.) )
