Yan Xing, Huang Po, and Sun Zi sat in the main car together, and Huang Po was a little trembling, waiting for Yan Xing's reprimand.

"What's going on in Linfen's Tuntian?"

Yan Xing was halfway through before he asked slowly.

Linfen was the place where he first implemented Tuntian, where the people not only housed the displaced people, but also the captured Bai Bo soldiers.

Although among the batch of soldiers back then, those old thieves who had accumulated evil for many years had to be eliminated by the soldiers of the Yan Xing faction and beheaded in public. But the remaining soldiers, because Bai Bo had not been completely pacified, were not included in the later military tun in batches, but were resettled as a civilian tun.

Mintun seems to be different from the people of Qi, but in fact, when it is implemented at the local level, it is the same to accept the jurisdiction of the county temple.

What Yan Xing asked about was the situation of those who had been reduced to settle households.

Huang Po replied respectfully:

"When those soldiers were placed in tunhu, they were all taken by Duke Yan and others, and deliberately dispersed the people of their townships and clans, and when the county government resettled the wounded, disabled, sick and old soldiers in the army, they were also specially placed in these tunhu according to Wushi, and with such heavy supervision, Linfen's tuntian was not in trouble."

When Yan Xing heard this, he smiled slightly and said:

"Strict governance is indeed prescient, and you must also abide by your own responsibilities, imitate him, dedicate yourself to public service, and govern this Linfen county for the county government."

"Quite a little bit of a thing to keep in mind."

Yan Xing nodded happily, he looked at Huang Po, and asked again:

"Do you have anything to tell me about Linfen Tuntian?"

Huang Po's eyebrows jumped, he really had something to report to Yan Xing in his heart, and immediately said to Yan Xing:

"Last year, Linfen's tuntian was not affected by the war, and there was the work of Fenshui water conservancy, and the county reported a bumper harvest, but there were still some treacherous tun households, concealing the yield per mu, and the county temple had been severely punished. However, among the tun households, there are still some tun households who have a slight complaint about the division of the government and the people. ”

After Yan Xing listened, he also understood what Huang Po meant.

In the relationship between the government and the people in all dynasties, the official side has an absolute advantage, especially those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who are like wolves and tigers, often forcing the people to a dead end.

But farmers are not all honest people.

Linfen implements the tuntian, and the harvest of the tun households, those who borrow official cattle will be divided into six or four according to the government and the people, and those who have not borrowed official cattle will be divided into five or five according to the government and the people.

However, the actual harvest per mu can only be clearly understood by the tun households, and although the officials responsible for collecting the grain can supervise the harvest from it, they cannot always guard against small actions by the tun people.

Some households deliberately underreport or conceal the yield per mu, so that they can often obtain more harvest from the fields.

And the ratio of 64 and 55 is indeed a heavy burden in wartime compared to the ratio of 30 taxes and 1 at the time of peace. However, Yan Xing was in his position and was planning his own government, but he could not consider the distribution of practical interests purely from the interests of the people as before.

Regardless of whether they had land or not, or whether their homes were destroyed by war, at least before they were recruited and accepted, they were a group of unemployed exiles and even outlaws.

It was the county government that gave them shelters, fields, seeds, and cultivated cattle, so that they could settle down again and resume production, so in Yan Xing's view, the division of six or four and fifty into fifty, although the exploitation was too great, but it was necessary to implement it in the troubled times, whether it was from the big picture or from the details.

If these homeless people work as servants and become tenants with powerful surnames, then even if they can settle down again, it will not necessarily be divided into six or four or fifty. When the time comes, it is extremely difficult for a family to barely survive, and there are not a few who sell their wives and beards.

Of course, people have a sense of comfort and longing, and it is normal for the residents to yearn for a better life. Yan Xing planned that in the future, if the military households in the military camp can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, then the Tianzhai will be awarded to the meritorious soldiers according to the military merits, and additional rewards will be added, which is a way. On the other hand, the households with the highest yield per mu will be converted into households every year, and the fields will be granted or rewarded, so as to encourage other households to have an idea, cultivate more diligently, and also reduce the negative psychology of the households to conceal and underreport.

Yan Xing planned these things, but it was not the primary government affairs at the moment, he knew Huang Po's thoughts, raised his eyebrows, looked at Huang Po and said lightly:

"I know this, you are either party, and you can act according to the decree, and there is no need to worry about it."

"No!"

Leaving Linfen, Yan Xing's entourage rode north to Pingyang.

The land of Pingyang, garrisoned by Cao Yuan, he took care of the military affairs and military tun of Yangxian, Xiangling, and Yong'an, and could be said to be the most powerful general under Yan Xing, except for Ganling, who guarded the Xihe.

The northern border of Hedong is connected to Taiyuan, Xihe and other places, and military and political affairs are the top priority.

After Yan Xing routinely persuaded farmers and mulberries in Pingyang, he made a special trip to Cao Yuan's military camp to inspect the training of the Tuntian soldiers under Cao Yuan's command.

Although Cao Yuan was guarding one side, his attitude was still humble, and he personally walked out of the camp to welcome Yan Xing and the others into the barracks.

Because it was the busy season of spring ploughing and farming, there were not as many sergeants in Cao Yuan's military camp as in the past, and those who were left were all the leaders of the Tuntian soldiers he specially selected, and they are now training in the camp.

When Yan Xing and his entourage entered the camp, they trained the physical strength of the soldiers to run, throw stones, pull distances, and bend the arrows, train the gathering and scattering of the soldiers' formations, train the knives, shields, spears, halberds, bows and arrows of the soldiers' weapons, and train the cavalry's horsemanship, chopping, cavalry shooting, and charge, and all military affairs were arranged in an orderly manner.

"There is a degree of advance and retreat, the five soldiers are skilled, it seems that these Tuntian soldiers are well trained!"

Yan Xing smiled and said to Cao Yuan and Niu Song in the camp, Cao Yuan heard this, and then hugged his fists and said humbly:

"The work of the end, the kite and so on dare not take credit, these Tuntian strokes, there are many Bai Bo soldiers in the past, their generation has seen the battle array, and the training is much faster than the ordinary field leader!"

"How many Tuntian soldiers are registered in the north, and how many are as good as you in your camp?"

Looking at the Tuntian soldiers in the barracks who were singing with golden drums and practicing endlessly, Yan Xing withdrew his gaze, looked thoughtfully closer, and then asked.

"There are 15,000 registered tuntian soldiers in the north, and only 2,000 are so well-trained."

Cao Yuan's answer was concise and powerful, Yan Xing nodded, he pursed his lips and groaned, his face thoughtful.

There are 15,000 Tuntian soldiers in the north, and there are 15,000 cavalry he brought to Hedong, plus the soldiers of Hedong County and the Tuntian soldiers in the south, together with the land of Hedong County alone, he can draw out 30,000 troops, and if he draws Fu's Hedong Ding Zhuang at any cost, then he can even piece together an army of 50,000 people.

Of course, under the actual situation, it is impossible for the county government to act like this, not to mention the real combat strength of the 50,000 people who have been cobbled together, just because these 50,000 people go out to fight for a month, and the heavy logistical pressure can completely collapse the economy and people's livelihood that Hedong County has just recovered.

However, Yan Xing's questioning also aroused the excitement in Niu Song's heart, and he eagerly asked Yan Xing:

"General, do you have any plans to use troops abroad?"

Niu Song was originally the commander of the personal guard under Yan Xing's account, and after pacifying Baibo and occupying the northern border, he was put into the army by Yan Xing and served as the commander of the army.

In the past year, he followed Cao Yuan to guard the northern border, trained Tuntian soldiers, watched other generals in the army follow Yan Xing to cross the river in the west, hunt Chang'an, return to the east of the river, quell the rebellion, and make great achievements.

It's not just Niu Song who has this idea, after Cao Yuan heard this, his eyes also jumped with light, and he said generously after Niu Song:

"If the general wants to use troops, he is willing to lead the soldiers of the north as the vanguard, break the royal insult, and serve the front of the army!"

Looking at Cao Yuan and Niu Song, who were eager to fight, Yan Xing smiled and said nothing.

The land east of the river, backed by the mountains and the river, although there are advantages of land risks, but in front of them they are more than self-preservation, and their progress is hindered by their strength, and there are still deficiencies.

With the current strength of Hedong County, he can only attack those forces that are weaker than himself and pursue a quick victory.

Among the surrounding forces in Hedong County, Zhang Yang in Hanoi and Zhu Jun in Henan are not as strong as themselves, but Hanoi County not only has Zhang Yang's forces, but also Montenegro's forces, and Yuan Shao's forces are on the verge of it.

This is not a good thing for Hedong County, which has just stabilized.

And Zhu Jun, who attacked Henan, if he transported troops and grain from the big river, he had to go through the pillar natural danger, and it was easy to have the disaster of the boat being overturned, and if he marched by land, he had to pass through the Hongnong land boundary of Zhang Ji, which was also a constraint on his own side and had many scruples, so he could not act rashly.

In addition, Yuan Shao, who gradually stabilized Jizhou, in addition to continuing to compete with Gongsun Zhan for Qingzhou and the southern part of Youzhou, has also sent his nephew Gao Gan to take office and gradually manage the annexation of the state.

The Qiang people and Zahu in Xihe and Shangjun have many castes and complex forces, and even the Shan Yu headquarters of the Southern Xiongnu cannot suppress them.

Therefore, instead of recklessly using force and blindly demanding, it is better to bury your head in developing your own strength, wait for the opportunity, and then eat away at the flawed forces around the whale swallow.

This point is the consensus of Yan Xing, Yan Zhi, Xi Zhicai and others.

Of course, it is also necessary to moderately boost the morale of the soldiers, plan in advance, and take precautions.

So, after Yan Xing's kind words appeased Cao and Niu, he sent someone to summon Liu Qiao, one of the generals.
