After Du Bian left, Gao Shun first wrote a letter to Ma Gui, transferred Zhou Fei and Cao Shan here, and brought 100 medium-sized war horses to come. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info ordered Sun Cheng to guard the 3 newly built forts.

Then he ordered Xu Fu's Tun to send 4 Shikko to inspect a township every day to maintain law and order in each township and collect intelligence at the same time; In addition, let Li Qiang lead Cao Xingtun to go out to inspect, check the terrain of the county, and find a suitable place to build castles for each township, protect the safety of each township, and wait for the rescue of the county when Xianbei is attacking.

Now Gao Shun and others have a preliminary foothold in Mayi.

Based on what happened here in the past, Gao Shun judged that the three major families should be about to make a move, and it is impossible to remain silent all the time, otherwise Ma Yi would not have been without a county magistrate for so long.

In order to ensure the safety of the county, Gao Shun thought of going through household registration, there was no county magistrate for so many years, and there was no tax, and the new county magistrate arrived, of course, starting from registering the county's household registration and rectifying taxes.

Gao Shun told everyone about his idea, and Li Qiang and others were very supportive, and first rectified the household registration of the residents in the county.

Zhao Xiong proposed: "General, for many people who are afraid of paying taxes after registering their household registration, you can give them a little sweetness, and those who come to register their household registration can buy rice at a low price, such as 250 yuan a stone of corn or 200 yuan a stone of corn; At the same time, it is supported by other policies, such as starting the inspection after 3 days, those who do not have a household registration are not allowed to go out of the city, and those who are found to have no household registration in the city will be fined 500 yuan and 30 days of hard labor; In addition, it is necessary to notify all those who register for household registration to be exempted from all forced labor, miscellaneous taxes, and taxes for this year. ”

Gao Shun thought for a while, the cost of corn is only 50 Wen one stone, even if it is 200 Wen one stone, he can still make a lot of money, so he said: "Then it will be set at 200 Wen one stone, and each person who registers the household registration can buy one stone of low-cost corn per month." ”

Li Qiang also said: "Residents in the county town are not allowed to bring grain out of the city, or bring more than one stone of grain, and the sale is restricted. ”

Gao Shun said: "You can discuss specific matters, implement the household registration in the county as soon as possible, and then go to the four townships to handle the household registration." ”

"Yes, General."

The household registration process is very fast, and the 12 county officials and 8 original officials are divided into 4 teams, each responsible for one piece, and the first day is to go to the door, and the second and third days are waiting for the county citizens to come to the county office.

With such good conditions, the enthusiasm of the county residents to register their household registration is very high.

On the fourth day, the household registration management measures were implemented, and those who did not have a household registration were not allowed to enter or leave the city gate, and Bao De was asked to strengthen patrols in the county to check household registration at any time.

Then the four teams went to the four townships, and each team was responsible for one township.

Since these people are all locals, it is very pleasant to handle, and there is little resistance, and it can be processed in 3 days.

Fortunately, the three elders, Sifu and Youyou from each township were appointed in advance, and they were very cooperative and played a big role in the process of handling household registration.

On the evening of the eighth day of July, Gao Shun looked at the materials reported that there were 380 households and 3,312 people in the county, and a total of 800 households and 2,376 people in four townships; Most of the people live in the county seat, and the average number of people in each household in the township is only 3, which must be the incomplete population of the family, or all of them are old, weak, sick, disabled, widowed and lonely.

Zhao Xiong looked at the data and said to Gao Shun: "General, I didn't believe it at first, and then checked the specific household registration of each township, the old and the small, it's really pitiful, we should help them." ”

"How can I help? What are your thoughts? ”

"General, it's really not okay to give each family a stone of grain, okay?" Zhao Xiong pleaded.

Gao Shun sighed and said, "Treat the symptoms but not the root cause, what if the food is finished?" ”

Li Qiang said: "General, it's still good here, the counties to the north, including the counties in the north of Dai County, are completely the chassis of the Xianbei people, and those who did not flee have become slaves of the Xianbei people, and their lives are even worse." ”

Gao Shun explained: "That's why I decided to buy the Taishou positions of Shanggu County and Dai County, just to rescue the Han people there, drive the Xianbei people out of Monan, and let the border people live a good life; For example, my family, with a family of three, my mother, my sister and I used to rely on me to hunt for a living, and life was very difficult, and the output of the land was not enough to pay taxes; If there is no strong labor in the family, life will be even more miserable. ”

Li Qiang said: "The general is right, only by driving away the aliens and not coming to loot, can they live a good life; When I went out to inspect, I felt that the land here was very good, flat, fertile, and water, but most of it was deserted, and I consulted some people, and Xianbei came to loot too many times, even if it was planted, there was no chance to harvest. ”

Gao Shun asked, "How is the matter of locating and building the castle?" ”

Li Qiang suggested: "General, building a castle in each township does not work at all, this is the plain, the Xianbei cavalry is coming, the speed is very fast, and the villagers in the distance have no time to enter the castle at all; I suggest that a fort be built in the northwest of Mayi, in the canyon area between Guanshui Mountain and Hongtao Mountain, to block Xianbei in the direction of Yunzhong, so that we can go all out to deal with Xianbei in the direction of Daijun. ”

Zhao Xiong said: "General, this method is good, this is the plain of a flat river, which is very suitable for our guerrilla tactics last time, and we can drag them to death with only a few people." ”

Gao Shun was from Shuozhou City in his previous life, and he knew that the canyon Li Qiang said, there was also a plain, which was Pinglu District; After thinking about it for a while, Gao Shun said: "Okay, just build a castle there to block Xianbei in the direction of the clouds, I have thought of the name of the castle, it will be called Pingyu Fort." ”

"When will it begin?" Li Qiang asked.

Gao Shun said: "Since it's set, then I'll go tomorrow"

At this time, the junior infantry cantonment was shouting outside the door: "Report to the general!" ”

"Come in."

After Fang Zheng came in, he put a piece of silk cloth in both hands and said, "General, this is someone who shot into the county government from the outside, that person is very weird, we couldn't catch it." ”

Gao Shun took the silk cloth and said: "It's okay, since the other party doesn't want people to know, you will definitely not be able to catch it, and they will show up when the time is right, go on duty." ”

"Yes, General." Fang Zheng bowed and withdrew.

Gao Shun looked at the silk cloth, then turned it to Li Qiang, and said, "It seems that it is too late to build a fortress." ”

After reading it, Li Qiang scolded: "The people of the three major families deserve to die, they actually communicate with foreign races and let foreign races come to rob their compatriots, I have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye." ”

Zhao Xiong was very shocked after reading it, and asked: "General, this Zhang family head is too cunning, he actually went to Wu County to buy land and make a house to settle his children and grandchildren, and even the back road was so thoughtful, if it weren't for the secret letter, we would not have known at all." What do we do now? ”

Gao Shun thought about it for a while and said: "The Xianbei cavalry only has 3 days to arrive here, the time is very urgent, I have 2 measures, first, move all the villagers to the county seat first; Second, move all the villagers to Bibo Fort. ”

Li Qiang said: "It's too late to move to Bibo Fort, if you want to move, you need to be escorted by the army, now the army is in urgent need, every soldier is very critical, or move to the county seat first, and then send it to Bibo Fort after the war." ”

Zhao Xiong said: "If all of them are moved to the county seat, I am worried that Xianbei will go all out to attack the county seat, and we have less than 1,000 people, can we hold it?" ”

Gao Shun thought about it for a while and said: "We still adopt guerrilla tactics and don't give the Xianbei people a chance to attack the county seat; Before that, we must first get rid of the flies and mosquitoes in the county, otherwise it will be troublesome if the backyard catches fire when defending the city. ”

"There is no real evidence for arresting people now, and you can't just arrest people on the basis of an anonymous letter, right?" Li Qiang objected.

Zhao Xiong said: "I have full authority over the affairs of this county, and no one is allowed to interfere; Arrest these people first and deal with them afterwards. ”

Gao Shun said: "Okay, without further ado, we will arrest people tonight, and tomorrow we will start to relocate the people in the township." ”

Li Qiang asked: "If there are no these traitors, what if the Xianbei people don't come?" ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Hehe, wouldn't it be better not to come?" After we relocate the villagers to Bibo Fort, we can take the initiative to attack Xianbeiyiluo, and then the harvest will be greater. ”

Zhao Xiong said with a smile: "Hehe, fortunately, I have done a good job of household registration in each township, otherwise I would not even be able to relocate the villagers." ”
