Chapter 168: Military-Political Regular Meeting 2
Yuan Lang naturally didn't know what these respective generals thought in their hearts, he had always used people without avoiding relatives, he could not only reuse Zang Hong, but also reuse Zhen Yan, of course, these people must have the ability to make Yuan Lang look down on them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although some rumors have reached his ears, he also listens to the left ear and the right ear, and the rumors stop at the wise, and he still understands this truth.
Now is the perfect time for Changshan County to flourish, and he will not let a little unwarranted speculation mess up his plans.
Without mentioning it, let's first say that now Yuan Lang sees that everyone has arrived, then the first regular military and political meeting held this time can begin.
"Ziyuan, let's start with you, let you talk about it first, what achievements we have achieved in the past month or so, of course, including what mistakes have occurred, this marshal declares first, I don't want to just listen to good words, each of you weighs in your heart, flattery is good and obedient, it's best to put it away for me!"
Yuan Lang made a start, this regular meeting is what he thinks is the most urgent need to convene, not to mention the remarkable political achievements in the past month, which is worthy of everyone's encouragement, let's just say that he has also heard a lot of bad mistakes recently, and reporting good news and not bad news is what he is most afraid of seeing, so he has the latter paragraph he just said.
When Zang Hong heard this, he got up immediately, he first bowed to Yuan Lang, and then said eloquently: "In the early days of Hong's reign, the lord once handed over three important political affairs to Hong, so Hong will start with these three important tasks!" …… First of all, before Hong settled in the county guard's mansion, the lord conducted a more detailed census of the county's land acres and resident population, and at that time, when the lord handed over these two data to Hong, Hong suddenly felt the pressure of a thousand catties. As we all know, the fertile land has been destroyed and the population of young and middle-aged people has plummeted due to years of war......
Zang Hong's exposition of a topic is enough to say that there is a half-pillar of incense, although the time is very long, but surprisingly everyone present can listen attentively, as if Zang Hong is not making a report, but giving everyone a vivid life education lesson.
“…… As of yesterday, 1,356 mu of new land had been reclaimed in our county, 4,980 mu of fertile land had been restored after the war, and 674 mu of land had been returned by large households without reason...... The above acres of land are superimposed, which can provide more than 5,000 people in our county and a year's rice! ”
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
With Zang Hong's final closing remarks, the audience erupted in thunderous applause, what is the concept of living 5,000 more people, basically raising one-sixth of the sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army for a year.
There is no doubt that the food issue is the biggest political issue in this era, which is also the concept of agriculture-based politics that Yuan Lang has always emphasized with Zang Hong.
Agriculture is the first priority in everything, and all government expenditures must first meet the needs of agricultural recovery and development, and Zang Hong also used his practical actions to prove to Yuan Lang that it was wiser for Yuan Lang to choose him as the ruler.
"I'm curious, Ziyuan, how did you say that those big families promised you to return the land that they had occupied for many years, or even decades, can you tell everyone?"
Yuan Lang asked an extremely difficult question for him, after the land measurement data came out, he had already discovered that the big households had encroached on the land, but at that time there was no reasonable means to deal with this matter, so it was put on hold until Zang Hong appeared.
"Yes, Mr. Ziyuan, how did you conjure up the land that others put in your pocket, I am also very curious, you can tell me!"
Zhang Yan also showed great interest in this, so after he followed Yuan Lang, he spoke to express his eagerness.
Zang Hong smiled silently, he just looked at an elegant young man in a brocade robe on the seat at the end of the civil official row, and then said slowly: "Hong thinks that it is better to ask Huang Nongcheng to talk about this matter, after all, the Huang family is the biggest contributor to the return of the land this time, and he must have the right to speak!" ”
"Oh? In this way, it is indeed up to you to talk about it! ”
Yuan Lang also nodded when he heard this, this Huang Nongcheng is none other than Huang Wenbing, the eldest grandson of the Huang family, the richest man in Changshan County, their Huang family is very enthusiastic about cooperating with the government to collect land this time, Yuan Lang heard that their family alone returned 100 acres of land for free, which can be described as a big bloodletting.
In order to commend the merits of the Huang family, Yuan Lang specially recruited Huang Wenbing as a farmer, and specially helped Zang Hong to assist in the planning of agricultural recovery, which can be regarded as a big reward for the Huang family.
Huang Wenbing saw that Yuan Lang also agreed to be said by him, so he got up calmly, first bowed to Yuan Lang, and then looked at Zang Hong to express his gratitude for the nomination, and finally only listened to him say: "Since the independent prince took charge of Changshan, our Huang family and the whole county have all felt the generosity and benevolence of the lord. Also listen to the lord's arbitrary distribution! ”
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, it was obvious that Huang Wenbing's generosity was unexpected, and Yuan Lang also listened to it in his ears at this time, although he knew that there were more elements of flattery, but it was not a minimum desire to survive in troubled times.
"Haha, I don't dare to touch the Huang family's property, Wen Bing, please rest assured, whether it is you or the rest of the registered households, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of my Changshan County, this commander will definitely protect your integrity!" Yuan Lang then said, "The consciousness of your Huang family is high, but it can't represent all the people of the degraded land, you can tell me, what promises did Zang Gong Cao Ke give you accordingly?" Could it be that the rest of the big households who donated the land have all saved the heart of your Huang family's selfless dedication? That handsome man is going to be ashamed of you! ”
"Haha......"
The atmosphere in the hall was a lot happier at once, and the previous tension was suddenly eliminated.
Huang Wenbing himself also laughed, their Huang family since the ancestors retired, and then for generations as businessmen, no longer in politics heirs, the previous glory should be given to his father Huang Can, but Huang Can felt that he was old and faint, so he resigned Yuan Lang's appointment, but instead recommended his son Huang Wenbing, so there is today's Huang Nongcheng.
Huang Wenbing knows that his peasant errand is not good, he is not only suspected of "buying officials", but must always put the interests of the public first, even if the interests of their Huang family, once they conflict with the public interest, it must be the public first.
Returning land and receiving rewards and even merit-based officials is the most attractive measure proposed by Zang Hong for those families who return land, and Huang Wenbing is the first beneficiary, he is actually a successful example set by Zang Hong after discussing with Yuan Lang.
These big families understand that fighting privately and publicly is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, not to mention that their land is indeed slowly encroached upon over time, if the government wants to take it back, none of them have a reason to refuse, not to mention that the government has now given them the stairs, if this favor is no longer needed, it is a little unknowing.
Therefore, once the government asked the government to return the encroached land, all of them chose to obey unconditionally, and even many did not even ask for compensation from the government.
