On November 14, Yun Yuankai and his entourage came to Zezhou City, but what they saw was a decaying atmosphere.

Yun Yuankai has also been to Zezhou City many times, at that time the prosperity of Zezhou City is not Yunhua County City, which is also a remote city can be compared, but with the rise of the Yun family and the subsequent war, the prosperous Zezhou City has decayed to such a point, there are only a few taverns and teahouses that are still in business in the city, and there are few guests inside, and there are not many pedestrians along the street, most of them are walking briskly with their heads down, unwilling to be outside, on the one hand, because of the cold weather, on the other hand, they are affected by two successive wars.

Yun Yuankai started from Yunhua County, all the way, he felt a lot of emotion, the Guangming Sect started with the slogan of eliminating the family and letting the people live a good life, in fact, the most affected are those ordinary people, some villages are ten rooms and nine empty, and ordinary people can understand how many big truths, they can only be induced by others.

"Alas!" Standing on the street, Yun Yuankai sighed deeply, he already felt that his future tasks would be very heavy, and Zezhou was in ruins.

Yun Yuankai had arranged everything before leaving Yunhua County, before Yun Yuankai was Yunyi's big housekeeper, Yunyi was equivalent to Yunhua County's guard, but Yunyi himself was only responsible for important things to grasp the direction, and the rest of the small things were handed over to Yun Yuankai to be responsible, if there was no Yunyi, Yun Yuankai would also be a qualified county guard.

Now there are three places under the rule of the Yunhua Yun clan, one is Zezhou, which has just been controlled by the Yun clan, the second is Yingzhou, Yunyong Island and other newly discovered islands overseas in the past six months, and the third is Yunhua County, the foundation of the Yun clan.

Yunhua County is the smallest, less than one-tenth of the area of Zezhou or Yingzhou, but Yunhua County is the most important, Yun's development in this land for more than 200 years, is the foundation of Yun's family, but also the central hub of Zezhou and Yingzhou.

The importance of Yingzhou, Yunyong Island and many other newly discovered islands overseas ranks second, Yingzhou's area is not much smaller than Zezhou, the land is fertile, rich in mineral resources, can provide good war horses for the Yun army, and Yingzhou and a few islands have found a variety of wild medicinal materials, many of which have thousand-year-old elixirs, as long as there is enough time, the Yun clan can use these wild medicinal materials to cultivate a large number of warriors.

Zezhou ranked third is only relatively speaking, in fact, Zezhou is also very important, Yun Yi wants to lead the Yun clan to participate in the battle for world dominance, Zezhou can not afford to lose, after the news that the Yun clan defeated the Zezhou Guangming Army to control the entire Zezhou, there are many talented people in other states and counties who plan to go to Zezhou if they have the opportunity to go to Zezhou, they can't find the opportunity to display their talents in Zezhou.

The three places are all important, and they must be governed by the Yun clan for the time being, Yingzhou is still Yun Du as Yun Hao as the governor, Yun Yuankai was transferred to Zezhou as the governor of Zezhou, and the Yunhua County Code was taken over by Yun Dui, the county commander of Linhai County, Yun Yi will return to Yunhua County before the year, if there is no major event, for a long time, Yun Yi will still stay in Yunhua County and take charge of the overall situation, as for the county order of Linhai City and Linhai County, Yun Dui's deputy Wang Yu from the Yunhua family will take over.

Zezhou is very large, Zezhou, which was almost swept away by the Guangming Army, needs officials everywhere, Yun Yuankai took a lot of effort to arrange the list of officials in various places before leaving Yunhua County, fortunately, the Yun family and Yunhua have a certain background, and many clansmen can take up official positions, plus the school built in Yunhua County led by Yun Yi in the past few years has cultivated a lot of intellectuals, in general, the Yun family has enough personnel to arrange all parts of Zezhou, as for whether they have the ability to engage in politics, it will naturally be clear after a period of time, It's good to replace it when the time comes.

The personnel selected by Yun Yuankai to serve as the main officials in all counties and counties of Zezhou, and the remaining officials or other things are directly selected from the locals, so that the locals have a better understanding of the specific local situation......

On the same day, in the former Zezhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion, Yun Yi held a banquet for the officials who came to Zezhou City for Yun Yuankai and his party to serve in Zezhou City.

The next day, Yun Yuankai was not busy serving as the governor of Zezhou and began to deal with the affairs of Zezhou, but sat down with Yun Yi and "chatted" with Yun Yi, Yun Yuankai knew that his genius nephew had a lot of ideas in his head, and Yun Yi was the real ruler of Zezhou, and it was up to Yun Yi to decide what direction Zezhou should go, and Yun Yuankai naturally had to obey his nephew's orders.

Yunyi: "Third Uncle, the first and most important thing you did as the governor of Zezhou was to count the existing population under Zezhou and register it. ”

"It should be so." Yun Yuankai nodded yes, this set of Yun Yuankai did not feel strange, after all, this is what was done in Yunhua County, first counted the population under the rule of Yunhua County, and then a large number of victims due to natural disasters and the Guangming Army poured into Yunhua County, and they were also registered first, and then arranged for them to go where they should go, so that the officials knew more about the people under their rule.

Yun Yi: "Third uncle, my Yun family is one of the hundreds of thousands of families in Dali, Dali has become in this situation, mainly because of the existence of our family, what the Bright Sect said is right, most of the families accumulate wealth by squeezing the people, and use various means to collect the arable land in the hands of the people, so that the people become their tenant farmers."

When the strength of the family is strong, they will not be satisfied with their current status, they want to seek more power upward, and even empty the power of the emperor, especially the first-class nobles like our Yun clan who have fiefdoms, they are simply a country within a country, and those families who hold a lot of arable land in their hands or are called big landlords, they are almost like first-class nobles.

The nephew doesn't know where he will end up with the family, but the nephew must not repeat the mistakes of Dali, the nephew will not divide the fief to anyone under the rule, and the generation of large landlords must be eliminated.

Therefore, while the population is counted in all parts of Zezhou, there is a second thing to do, taking advantage of the fact that there are still three months before spring ploughing, we must redistribute cultivated land to the people under our rule throughout Zezhou, regardless of men and women, those above the age of fifteen can get ten acres of arable land, and those under the age of fifteen can be halved, and the remaining cultivated land is divided into official land, and the people can rent and plant, and the rent is one-third of the output, and the cultivated land is allowed to be bought and sold freely, and new cultivated land is also allowed, but a person can only have a maximum of 100 acres of cultivated land under his name.

In this way, the creation of large landlords can be eliminated. ”

Note 1: The creation of government land is actually a preparation for the increase in population in the future, and the population is growing, so it is necessary for the government to allocate farmland to him, and of course, after the death of a person, the farmland allocated to him must also be recovered.
