Since Lu Peng was born, he has had a bone gap with the big family, although in the end he didn't kill hundreds of wealthy families like his father-in-law Gongsun Zan to stabilize his status and dignity, but it is also obvious to him that Lu Peng suppressed the big family with a blunt knife.

Through his unremitting efforts, not only did he deprive the wealthy families of the privileges of arming, but also the slaves of each family were registered, and taxes were levied on the mountain and forest land in everyone's hands.

Although the tax levied by Lu Peng is only ten catties of grain per acre, and even the food of the birds is not enough, but the scholars do not pay taxes, which is left from ancient times, and it is a status symbol and a status symbol of the family.

If it is left elsewhere, such a warlord will immediately be overthrown or driven away by the family clans.

However, Lu Peng's kid is a stunned guy, a guy who makes mistakes from time to time, and this guy is still a red-eyed tiger, several family alliances have been easily extinguished by him, and he took advantage of the situation to directly cut down those rioting families, the means are quite cruel, so that all the families who are ready to move have to think twice.

And if Cao Cao takes over Yizhou, this is something that everyone is absolutely willing to see and welcome.

Cao Cao himself was born in a wealthy family, and he also relied on the family, and the policy he implemented was also based on pleasing and pleasing the family.

So, when Xu Huang personally ran to various families and begged for war horses in exchange for food, the remaining families accepted it generously, and some of them simply donated generously and directly in order to please the new masters in the future.

In such an environment, Xu Huang and Jiang Qi, who were originally embarrassed, actually raised the men and horses that could supply him, including the five thousand men and horses of the Lu brothers, for two years in a short period of time, which was simply too unexpected for Xu Huang.

With grain and grass, Xu Huang immediately issued a notice to provide relief to the people who remained in Xindu.

As soon as the porridge shop for the relief of the people opened, those people who could not afford to flee to Youzhou immediately swarmed up, surrounded the porridge shop to death, and did not wait for the gruel to boil, they stretched out their hands to scoop it up in the tumbling porridge pot and stuffed it directly into their mouths.

Xu Huang personally stood outside the porridge shop, shouting loudly, maintaining order, bitterly persuading everyone not to fight, and swearing that he had food and grass for everyone.

But even so, the looting still broke out in porridge shops everywhere, because in the eyes of the people, this is just a new dog official's pretense, and after today, there will be no tomorrow.

Looking at such a chaotic order, Xu Huang finally had to send troops to suppress and kill a few of the most troublesome people before he could stabilize the situation.

When the porridge shop was opened again the next day, the people found that it seemed that this dog official was okay, and he did it without pretending, and it seemed that he could really let everyone survive this winter.

So, on the third day, when the porridge shop opened, the streets were full of people: the blessings of the "Prime Minister and Marquis Wandai".

Xu Huang was infinitely pleased with the emotional changes of the people of Xindu, although it was just a gruel every day, but it still won the support of the people, so the letter was decided.

Don't blame the people for seeing small interests and forgetting the great righteousness, and don't blame the people for their mindset of obeying the people.

No matter what era it is, righteousness is a vague concept in the hearts of the vast majority of people, and in their hearts, living is the real righteousness.

It's not their fault that they think in obedience to the people, and in the face of power and violence, what can they do but a rotten life? Only by living reluctantly is what they can do.

In fact, sometimes, it is precisely because they survive that a nation saves the opportunity to rise again in the most desperate time.

Riding on a war horse and patrolling the streets, Xu Huang looked at the people living in the deserted courtyard houses, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, and he said to Jiang Qi who followed him: "The people's hearts are settled, the next step is to register the people gathered in Xindu and the surrounding areas, collect statistics from place to place, and see how many people are still in Yizhou, and then sort out the ownerless land in the whole state and distribute it to them for the Mintun system implemented by the lord, so that they can have land to cultivate in the coming year, and try to restore the vitality of Yizhou." ”

Jiang Qi nodded yes, but his expression did not give much hope: "Yizhou has fought several times, several princes have been tugging and seeming, it has long been dilapidated, the young and strong have been forcibly conscripted to the battlefield, and the women and children have also been recruited to be people's husbands, this time Yuan Shao suddenly left it alone, and the rest, those who can run to Youzhou have also run over, and those who can stay here are not one out of ten." Then he sighed: "Actually, the Yizhou we have now is an empty shell." ”

Xu Huang knows this situation, but he can't give up because of this, he still has to work hard. In fact, the population is not nothing, but they are not under the official roster, but are all under the family of the wealthy, this is the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and Chengping has also been for more than 200 years, but the population has dropped from 60 million to less than 50 million.

Knowing is knowing, even the emperor can't do anything, what can he do?

"There is also the land problem, which is actually more difficult to solve." Jiang Qi frowned and poured bitter water again. "Yizhou was originally the heart of the imperial court, known as the Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the wealthy families have developed the industry here, and the land annexation is very serious. And suffered from the war in the past few years, the family not only robbed the land in the hands of the few remaining people, but even the land of the small family was occupied by the big wealthy families in various open and dark ways. Then he pointed at the yamen of Xindu with a mocking face: "I doubt that now you and I are governing the yamen, whether they are all built on other people's land." ”

Xu Huang dismounted, bowed his head without saying a word, and walked into the yamen.

Now, there is no surplus land in the Han Dynasty, but these fields are not in the hands of the imperial court, not in the hands of the people, but in the hands of the family gatekeepers, and the court has to feed the army, take care of the family and the courtyard, and the people bear the country's taxes, but they are creating wealth for the wealthy, what kind of abnormal status quo is this.

Walking up the steps with heavy steps, he turned around and glanced at the gray Xindu in front of him, and sighed, but said in a firm tone: "Since I am the assassin of Yizhou, then, Yizhou will change in my hands, and the registration population cannot be delayed, but this is an extraordinary time, and I will not register the slave of the gate valve family first." It is very necessary to register the land, and all the land that is not on the official records is counted as ownerless land, and once verified, it must be distributed to these people. ”
