During the Warring States Period, the greatest progress of the princes in local control was the implementation of "organizing households and uniting the people".

The so-called household organization and the people are to break up the distinction between the state and the wild system in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and to compile the individual small peasants into the national household registration according to the establishment of five families as one army and ten families as one tithe, so that all the people have become the "people" of the state, that is, the so-called "household and household Qi people". Only in this way can the rule of the central government be implemented at the local level, taxes can be collected according to household registration, and adult men can be conscripted for military service and enlistment.

However, in the south of Qi County, this state of arranging households has collapsed, Mingyue arrived in the township under the escort of the county guard, and checked the household registration file, originally there were more than 1,800 households in Nanxiang, but now the county can control the household registration, but the seven or eight hundred households near the township, and the rest are lost.

"A thousand households, four or five thousand people, disappeared from the household registration recorded over the years, and so many people, of course, did not all die, but in order to escape labor and taxes, or actively or passively broke away from the household registration and ran to the mountains and forests to survive." ”

In this way, Mingyue remembered one thing.

In that year, Confucius passed by the foot of Mount Tai and saw a woman crying very sadly in front of the tomb. Confucius asked Zilu to go and ask the woman, and it turned out that it was because the woman's father-in-law, husband, and son were all killed by tigers on the mountain. Confucius felt pity and asked the woman, why didn't she leave this barren and dangerous mountain forest? The woman replied, "There is no tyranny here." ”

The woman's family should also have moved away from their original hometown in order to escape the harsh government and fled to the mountains, forests and rivers, which is also the origin of "harsh government is fiercer than a tiger", and similar things are happening in Qi County. In order to make a living, those who fled either cleared the wasteland and farmed the land, or found some wild vegetables and other things to eat, but these were only a drop in the bucket, so they could only rob and steal, and when they were so hungry that even the most honest peasants would become vicious thieves.

According to the post letter, there are at least 1,000 thieves on the mountain, including their families, wives and children, there may be two or three thousand, these people live in the nests of several mountains, and they all obey Wei Yao's orders, and most of those people were forced to go up the mountain by the war six years ago and the great drought three years ago.

There are still two or three thousand people around the mountain who have not become thieves, but they will still help the thieves and strengthen the ranks of thieves when they can't survive.

So the first thing Mingyue decided to do in Nanxiang was to win over the two or three thousand people who were in the middle ground!

This will not only make it effortless to clear the outskirts of the mountain, but also allow those who are familiar with the location of the thieves' lair to turn to the government as a guide.

"It's like eating oranges, the fleeing people are the peels wrapped in the outside, and the bandits are the orange petals hidden inside, and the orange petals can only be eaten if the peel is peeled first......

After playing this analogy, Mingyue found that Qi Kun and other natives of Qi County were at a loss, so she asked, "Have you ever seen oranges?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, it was a fruit in the south, and there were very few in the north of the Huai River, how could they, the people of Taiyuan County, have ever seen it. The people of Chu often eat it, and Qu Yuan also wrote an "Ode to Orange" for this, because of the characteristics of the orange tree "orange is born in Huaibei, it is orange", and praised it as "ordered not to move, and to give birth to the south." It is deeply rooted and difficult to migrate, and it is even more ambitious. ”

Mingyue was a little embarrassed, so she had to smile and say, "When there is a chance in the future, the second and third sons will follow me to the land of Chuyue, and we will be able to see them." ”

Others didn't take this to heart, only the young Qi Kun took it seriously, full of expectations.

Leaving aside the topic of oranges, Mingyue and the accompanying doormen continued to discuss how to fight over those people with the thieves, and the doormen made two completely different suggestions.

Qi Kun felt that he should directly send county soldiers to search the mountains, arrest all those fugitives, reorganize them into household registration, weed and reclaim the fields, and prepare for the next year's farming.

"Doing so will only exacerbate the misunderstanding of the people, and under the panic of public opinion, they will be driven to the side of the thieves."

Fei Ping had a different view, he suggested: "At present, it is the scorching heat, and the people in the mountains are suffering from famine, so it is better to set up a relief porridge shed in Nanxiang first, attract the fugitives to come here, and then pass on the word of mouth through them to go back and spread the benevolence of the son, the decision of the son to re-grant the land, and the policy of reducing and reducing taxes, so that the people from all over the world can vote." ”

If the effect is not good, it is not too late to carry out the first type of forcible search, but no matter how it is done, there is a problem that they cannot avoid.

That's food!

When Chang'an Jun decided to train his troops to suppress thieves, he first asked for two or three thousand stone of grain from the strengths of each family, and then bought two thousand stones from Jinyang out of his own pocket, but the rest of the month passed, Ding Zhuang, the county guard, and the county soldiers brought by Zhao Kuo, more than 2,000 people ate horses and chewed, and the grain was in and out, and they had already sat on the mountain.

Cai Ze immediately complained to Chang'an Jun after the water thieves were pacified, saying that the grain in the county warehouse was full, and it was only enough for these soldiers to eat for a month......

Qi Kun is a local, of course he knows when there will be grain production here, he pinched his fingers, it is late May, less than a month before the wheat and soybean harvest in June and a half, and the grain in the county warehouse is barely enough to feed the soldiers, but if you want to recruit fugitives and help them survive this month, it is a little difficult.

"I don't know if Zhu Haochang can ...... over there" Fatty Ping's little eyes glanced at Qi Kun.

Although Qi Kun was young, he also knew what this insidious fat man had in mind, and thinking of his grandfather's instructions to him to "don't forget to maintain the family", a spirit immediately stood up and said bitterly: "Chang'anjun, my family has contributed more than 2,000 stone of grain before and after, and in this green and yellow season, there is no surplus food in the Hao Chang family!" ”

Mingyue knew that Qi Kun was telling the truth, the richest Qi family in the county, and there were only some emergency rations and seeds left in the granary.

He immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, the food will arrive soon!" ”

……

The "soon" that Chang'anjun said was indeed extremely fast, and only three days later, Qi Kun, who was left in Nanxiang, was surprised to see that Gong Zhongyin led a group of county guards and Ding Zhuang to escort hundreds of carts of grain into the gate of the township......

"This ...... All this food? Qi Kun watched with some incredulity as the county guard moved bags of grain into the warehouse, and the originally small warehouse was suddenly overstocked, Qi Kun asked one person to stop, he pulled out a knife and cut it to see that it was indeed Huang Cancan's aged corn.

Roughly calculated, a hundred carts probably transported more than 2,000 stone of grain.

"Where does this food come from?" Qi Kun was a little frightened, this couldn't be that Chang'an Jun raided the homes of the heroes, right?

Gong Zhongyin glared at Qi Kun, who was making a fuss: "This is the son who paid for it and asked me to go to Jinyang to buy it." ”

Jinyang is more than 100 miles north of Qi County, is the capital of Taiyuan County, and is also the largest city west of Taihang, and the withered Qi County is different, Jinyang has continued to harvest in recent years, so there is still a lot of grain on the market.

So Qi Kun could only be shocked by Chang'anjun's generosity, although he was one of the richest gentlemen in Zhao State, but within two months, he had to spend a lot to buy nearly 5,000 stone of grain, although as a prince, he had his own runes issued by the government, and with this as a certificate, he could be exempted from customs taxes along the way, and the city tax could also be halved, and the transportation costs could be added, which was not a small amount.

"Brother Post." Qi Kun didn't dare to ask Gong Zhongyin, who was not smiling, so he touched the mail letter with his elbow that was counting the grain on the side.

"How rich is Chang'anjun?"

You Wuxin smiled: "Childe is known as the family of daughters. ”

"Is there really a thousand gold...... Although Qi Kun's family is the largest family in Qi County, it is nothing compared to Chang'an Jun, and he also regards the figurative "daughter" as a real thousand gold.

"Where did all that gold come from? Does Chang'anjun have a gold mine? Qi Kun was a little distracted and muttered to himself, this was beyond his imagination as the eldest son of Hao.

Seeing that Qi Kun was so naïve, he suddenly became interested, so he said mysteriously in his ear: "When my son-in-law was in Linzi, he recruited two magicians as guests, and it is said that these two people ......."

"The art of turning iron into gold!"

……

"Ahh

Far away in the Chang'an Jun's Mansion in Handan, in the Dan room full of strange smells and faint smoke, the warlock Xu Ping let out a big sneeze......

"I don't know who is cursing the master." His apprentice Lu Sheng happened to pass by carrying some alchemy utensils, and when he saw that Xu Ping was very embarrassed with snot on his hands, he laughed at him beside him, this pair of masters and apprentices was the most big and small.

"In the past half a year, I have done so many anti-heaven and earth magic for Chang'anjun, and made those artifacts that should not exist in the world...... Even if the heavens curse me, it is not surprising. ”

Xu Ping was serious, but secretly wiped his snot on his clothes, and recovered the fairy wind bones, and then stopped talking to the apprentice, staring at the things on the table in front of him, his eyes lit up.

This is what Chang'an Jun promised them, a specialty from the Zhaoyu Qiban Cave, a natural saltpeter......
