"Has Lu Yi's family ever been released?" Zhang Liao asked casually again. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi A, who has always been naturally cool, showed a rare expression of admiration on his face, and said curiously: "How did you see it?" Less than two days after Lu Yi's family entered, they were ordered to be released by Song Fang, and the servants took this as a breakthrough and found clues. ”

Zhang Liao smiled: "At that time, I just asked casually, and found that Lu Yi's expression was different, and I just tried it casually. ”

Shi Ah didn't know what to say for a while, this lord's methods are just like his combat style, seemingly undisciplined, but often in the right place, maybe this is a keen intuition, just like his own intuition about swordsmanship.

At this time, Zhang Liao said: "Ah Heng, you are now the superintendent of the post, and to deal with the following slippery officials, you must be like you making a sword, not only sharp, but also flexible, virtual and real are compatible, strange and positive complement each other, you must make bold conjectures, prudently verify, do not mix likes and dislikes, do not kill good people in vain, reward the good and punish the bad, but do not tolerate mercy." ”

Shi Ah realized.

"Those who rule peace first are benevolent and righteous, and those who rule chaos are re-enforced by law." Zhang Liao groaned, and said: "As the inspector of the five departments, the five superintendents are the five unsheathed swords of the county government, which must be sharp, and we must look at and deal with affairs from the level of the county government, just as we have just opened up the situation in Hedong now, and the various decrees have been preliminarily issued, we must use heavy means to deter the locality!" Therefore, the Song side should be dealt with seriously, establish the authority of supervising the postal service and inspecting the counties, so that the government decree can be quickly and smoothly implemented. ”

Shi Ah nodded solemnly.

……

In December of the first year of the first peace, the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung princes completely withdrew from Luoyang, Yuan Shao retreated to Hanoi, Cao Cao attached himself to his command, Wang Kuang, Yu Fuluo, Zhang Yang, and Biqiu Yi also arrived in Hanoi, and Hanoi was strong for a time, with nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.

The rest of the princes, such as Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Yuan Yi and others, returned to their respective counties.

After the soldiers and horses of the Kwantung princes retreated, Dong Zhuo ordered Zhonglang to send Dong Yuetun soldiers to Michi, Duan Xuantun to Huayin, Niu Fu and Zhang Liaotun to Hedong, and ordered Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Jia Xu, Fan Chou and other captains to be stationed in the area of Xin'an and Gu County, led by Niu Fu, ready to fight and sweep at any time, and appointed Zhu Jun as Hewu Yin to guard in the area of Biguiyuan in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo himself took Zhonglang to return to Chang'an with Lu Bu, Xu Rong, Huangfu Song, Gai Xun and other ministers.

After returning to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo, in order to accumulate money, returned a large number of five-baht coins that were originally in circulation, and smashed the bronze figures, bronze bells and copper horses that the people of Ruoyang could not move away at the beginning, and recast them into small coins.

The shoddy small coin is a broken round copper sheet, not only the weight is lighter than the five-baht coin, but also there is no coat of arms, the edge of the small coin has no outline, it is not resistant to wear, and the only feature is that the number has increased dozens of times.

After hearing about it, Hedong Taishou and Zhonglang General Zhang Liao wrote to Dong Zhuo and mentioned the theory of inflation, although Dong Zhuo did not think so, but at the suggestion of Li Ru, he slightly slowed down the minting of small money.

In addition, Dong Zhuo wantonly mobilized 200,000 people in Guanzhong, stepped up the construction of Yiwu, and wantonly looted money, pearls, jade, grain and grass to enrich Yiwu, which made Guanzhong complain.

……

When the world was in turmoil, Zhang Liao was concentrating on development in Hedong County.

After clearing Haoqiang, arranging households, and completely controlling Hedong County, Zhang Liao quickly took the second step, strengthening the army, tuntian, inventing, and advancing military, agriculture, and technology at the same time.

Military affairs are the foundation of Zhang Liao's foothold in troubled times, and his elite strategy is indispensable for drills, for which he formulated detailed rules for soldier drills.

The law stipulates that soldiers should run and cross the country at dawn and dusk every day to exercise their physical strength and running ability. Every morning and afternoon, the whole army is unified in the formation drill and cavalry shooting, and the command of the flag and drum and the coordination of the troops, including siege and field battles, especially the order of the flag and drum, are unified by the whole army, so as to avoid the confusion of command after the death of the general or the rotation of the general. At midday, at noon, and after dark, practice rapid marching meals, learn military regulations, recite military discipline, and rest. In the early afternoon, he went to nearby counties and townships to help the people and the elderly, the weak, the lonely and the widow carry water and clean up, so as to bring the relationship between the military and the people closer.

In addition to drills, soldiers are given three days off and family leave each month, which are implemented in rotation and abolished in wartime.

In order to encourage young and strong people to join the army and encourage soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, Zhang Liao reduced the taxes of military households, and those with less than seven families were paid half of the taxes for those who enlisted in the army, and those who enlisted in the army were completely exempted from taxes, except for the rich and powerful and large families.

Zhang Liao also popularized the martyrs' shrine set up in Xiaopingjin, and all the meritorious soldiers who died in the country would be engraved in the martyrs' shrine and receive sacrifices.

At the same time, Zhang Liao set up exclusive residences in the counties under the county to house the widows and orphans of the martyrs.

This move directly gathered the morale of the army for him, and the soldiers all swore to support him, less worries, and the battle was even more brave, which can be clearly reflected from several sporadic battles.

However, while improving the treatment of military households, Zhang Liao also raised the qualifications for joining the army, and all the elders who failed to pass the three-month training process and had no skills were sent to their hometowns to continue farming, or served as patrols and guards for county governments, county governments, and township pavilions.

At the same time, Zhang Liao strictly affirmed the military order of "three demands and nine prohibitions", especially those who violated the nine prohibitions, beheaded and did not spare them, and those who escaped from the battle were the same, and cancelled the military household treatment enjoyed by their families. The punishment was extremely severe, and none of the soldiers dared to violate discipline for several months.

Zhang Liao is very satisfied with this, he wants elite soldiers, elite soldiers who can be controlled, elite soldiers who can gallop vertically and horizontally, rather than redundant soldiers and chaotic soldiers.

In addition to military training, Zhang Liao began to fully reclaim land in Hedong County.

Tuntian first began in Tuntian, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, which was the most effective means to settle the displaced people, unify the cultivation and obtain grain, and it was also the foundation for Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms to take the lead in becoming strong.

Zhang Liao had known about Tuntian for a long time, but he only heard its name but didn't know it, and it wasn't until after some exchanges with Han Hao that he knew that Tuntian was not so simple.

There are two ways to tuntian, one is to force the people to tuntian, and the second is to recruit tuntian.

Zhang Liao naturally did not force the people, he took the recruitment of Tuntian.

Then there was the organization of tuntian, which consisted mainly of tenant farmers, thieves and prisoners, punished prisoners, and some ordinary people who had volunteered to participate in the tuntian, and adopted an almost militarized control, with fifty or 100 people as a cantonment, and the cantonment officials distributed tools and seeds, worked collectively, and were supervised.

In addition, there is the most important harvest distribution, and Han Hao proposed three distribution methods for Zhang Liao to choose from:

The first is the labor tuntian, and the annual tuntian harvest is all handed over to the official except for the tun households.

The second is to divide the tuntian, after the annual harvest, it is divided into rent, and the official cattle are used, and the officials are six and the people are four; Those who use private cattle are divided in half, that is, half is kept by the people and half is handed over to the government.

The third type is a fixed amount of grain per person or per mu.

Zhang Liao gave up the third way, the fixed amount of rent collection is too rigid, if it is good in a good year, the burden on the people in a disaster year will be very heavy.

He took the first and second ways.

The first form of labor was for prisoners of thieves and punished criminals, who could only be converted to normal labor after one to three years of unpaid labor in the tuntian.

For ordinary tun households, the second way is adopted, which is the most reasonable to divide proportionally, which can stimulate the enthusiasm of tun households, even if many fields in later generations still use this sharing model.

However, in response to Han Hao's proposal, Zhang Liao relaxed the sharing conditions, setting the proportion as those who use official cattle, the government and the people are divided, and those who use private cattle are divided between the officials and the people.

After the previous household Qi people, Hedong County has nearly 100,000 more household Qi people, and the number of people is so large that Zhang Liao is dumbfounded.

However, although there are a lot of available people, and Tuntian is also very beneficial to the landless and proletarian people and displaced people, the kind of almost militarized control makes most people hesitate.

Of the 100,000 people released from the various families, less than 30,000 proletarians were willing to participate in the tuntian, and the rest of the people either leased land to cultivate on their own, or were still willing to take refuge in Haoqiang and become tenant farmers with households.

30,000 people seem to be a lot, but they are far from Zhang Liao's requirements, but he can't force it, he has already offended the family, and if he offends the people, it will be completely over.

However, Zhang Liao naturally had the means, and he quickly announced four incentives.

First, the cantonment households may be exempted from one month's hard labor per year.

Article 2: In the event of a disaster, the cantonment households will be given priority to receive official food relief, and the sick people in the cantonment households will be given priority to receive medical treatment from the official medical center.

Article 3 : All households that have completed five years of tun land can get 50 mu of their own land free of charge, and those who have completed eight years can get 100 mu of their own land free of charge, cultivate their own land, and pay taxes according to the law.

Article 4: The government will establish county, county, and township schools, and all households that have completed three years in the tuntian area will be allowed to enter the township school for free, and those who have completed seven years in the tuntian area will be allowed to enter the county school for free to study, and those with outstanding performance may be given priority in being promoted to the government for appointment.

As soon as these four regulations came out, the people who participated in the registration of Tuntian flocked to it, and even some people with fields also participated, and the number reached 100,000 people, which only kept Han Hao busy, and Zhang Liao had to send him additional manpower.

Under the leadership of Han Hao, the people of Tun began to divide the fields, restore the fields, repair the fields, and reclaim the wasteland, and take advantage of the early summer of next year to make all the preparations for the cultivation of the tun fields.

The Hedong region is located in the valley basin, and the climate is slightly warmer than that of the Bingzhou region, and due to the cold climate, the Hedong region can only grow one crop, but Hedong can grow two crops a year.

A crop is planted in early summer, and it is harvested in autumn, and after the field is prepared, winter wheat can be cultivated directly in autumn. Winter wheat goes through winter and spring, and in the summer it is harvested in June, and then the summer grain is planted.

In this way, as long as the fertilization is done properly, and then the "substitution method" invented by Zhao Guo when Emperor Wu is used, the ditches are planted interchangeably, coupled with reasonable fertilization, and the irrigation is appropriate, the soil fertility can be fully supported, and the harvest is also guaranteed.

Military and Tuntian were the two major matters that Zhang Liao was busy with during this time, in addition, there was another item, that is, invention. (To be continued.) )
