The west of Fushi County, the east side of Yanzhou Prefecture, the two cities are about two and a half miles apart, a Yan River flows through in the middle, there was originally only one wooden bridge on the river, if you do not cross the river from here, you have to walk more than ten miles to the south to have a ferry, so this wooden bridge is actually the first traffic artery between the east and west two cities. Yanzhou is located in the north and south of the northern counties of Guanzhong, is the key place of Dan, Dun, Xi, Sui, Xia, Yan, Ling, Qing eight road traffic pivots, the Tang Dynasty to and from the mainland and the outside of the Saiwai business and horse teams are all in this place as the transit hub, this wooden bridge between the east and west cities was built in the first year of the emperor's holy grant, for hundreds of years due to natural disasters and man-made disasters have been destroyed many times, and rebuilt many times, it can also be said to have a long history.

Since the rebellion of Li Maozhen in the Guanzhong area of the late Tang Dynasty, the world of war and chaos is worse day by day, the fields are barren and the population is withering, and the status of Yanzhou's commercial hub has gradually declined.

Between the east and west cities, on the east and west banks of the Yan River, this small area around the wooden bridge used to be quite a prosperous place with dense flow of people, not only a large number of merchants and hawkers worked here to make a living, even the mud legs of the east city and the dignitaries of the west city often come here to purchase the goods they need, from the cooking cakes of one penny or two to the candied fruits that only the family of Zhu Zi can afford to eat, as well as all kinds of leather goods, livestock, gold and silver ornaments, weapons, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Since the late Tang Dynasty, this scene has been declining, and as a native born in Yanzhou, Qin Gu has only heard about the pomp and circumstance of the past from the mouths of some rare long-lived old people in his twenties, but has never seen it with his own eyes.

In recent years, there has been no caravan in this area, even the local traders are not willing to build shops here, in the case of the party's iron hooves may come to burn and loot every year, any inch of land outside the city wall is dangerous and unreliable, of course, those who bear the mission of protecting this land are even more unreliable, in the hearts of the people of Yanzhou, those people are not much better than the party.

However, in the spring of the second year of Guangshun, all this was a little different.

On the east side of the wooden bridge near the county seat of Fushi, there is a homeless shelter and registration station jointly set up by the Fushi County Ya and the former battalion of the Zhangwu Army, the so-called site, in fact, is just a shed set up in the open space next to the bridge, in which several scribes of the county government and several civilian soldiers of the former battalion of the Zhangwu Army are seated, and outside the shed, there is an infantry of the front battalion of the Zhangwu Army who is responsible for guarding.

Refugees who have fled to Yanzhou from the western and southern states to help the elderly and children will be simply registered here according to their place of origin and surname, and then according to this, they will be sent to the camp of displaced people on the east side of Fushi County for temporary resettlement.

For those young people, the military and political authorities of Fenglin Mountain adopted the principle of voluntariness and generally did not force them to go up the mountain; However, for those who are determined to acquire special talents and scholars, the soldiers sent by Lu Renyong, the former deputy commander of the battalion and the lieutenant of the recruit corps, will forcibly take them away with their families by pulling the strong ding.

Regardless of where the displaced people come from, as long as they go through the registration process, they can enter the camp of displaced people. The displaced people in the camps had to build their own houses and shelters, they were assigned to reclaim land or build roads, and some experienced peasants would become military or official tenants, without exception, they were able to get the food they needed to survive in the camp camps, which may not be enough for some adults, but for women, children and the elderly, this food would keep them alive in the most difficult days.

Those who went up the mountain were treated better than those who went down, their food was relatively sufficient, and there were even a few people who received different salaries, which made some of the good people under the mountain quite envious.

The camp was built in the east of the city, and refugees from the southwestern states had to cross the wooden bridge over the Yan River to reach the east city, so the wooden bridge once again became a special transportation artery. Some local farmers set up small stalls here, selling some rice such as bread and melons, and other food, earning the pitiful little money and some valuable heirlooms from the homeless.

It was such a little business opportunity, and suddenly this small piece of land between the two cities became lively.

As for the threat of the party members, it is not that it does not exist, but since the beginning of this year, it has been rumored that the warrior who killed several people in a row on the day of the mutiny in August last year has now been appointed as the town guard of Luziguan.

Wise and foolish, the dignitaries and dignitaries in Xicheng sneered at the innocence of the small people, if a small soldier can deter the brave and brave party members, the 50,000 troops of the Tang Empire will not return in front of the Dingyan army.

However, looking at the lively scene between the two cities that has not been seen for decades, the civil officials dressed as an old man and a young man on the bank of the Yan River are still quite emotional.

"A moment of tranquility is enough to make a living...... The goodness and easy governance of the people of the Central Plains is really embarrassing, there are such people, and the world has not been governed for decades, and the princes are not ashamed? Li Bin stroked his beard and shook his head and sneered.

"The people's livelihood is flourishing, the first is in the political clear, the politics is clear, the first is in the government decree can reach the Quartet, the imperial court is in decline, and it was originally helpless, the central Feng Fan is not unintentionally governing the country, but they are all scholars, there is no soldier in their hands, the rotation of dynasties, the migration of Dingqi, they can't do these things...... Change the Son of Heaven...... The decree will be more chaotic, and the world will fall apart and the princes will be divided, and it is really ......not the fault of the scholars," Qin Gu said with a wry smile.

"It's the scene in front of you, if you don't have the little military power in Huairen's hand to back it up, how can it be like this?" Qin Gu sighed softly.

"The Gao family's thirty-year savings have been squandered by you, right?" Li Bin smiled.

Qin Gu also smiled: "This money account is taken care of by the younger generation, and so far it has been spent 85,476 yuan, accounting for about 30% of the total quota, but now the grain storage in the warehouses of each county is growing, and there is news from Jingzhao Mansion, because Yanzhou has purchased grain on a large scale this year, the price of grain in Guanzhong has soared to 100 wen and one stone, and even the imperial court has noticed it, Li Weizhen has written to various states and counties to control grain trading, and now the grain ships in Huainan are going north along the river, and they are not allowed to go again to Bianjing, and they must be on the spot to produce grain, Otherwise, Kaifeng Mansion will shake the rope and take people......"

Li Bin laughed: "It's okay...... Li Weizhen can cure those small fish and shrimp, those lords and heavy generals in Bianliang, who in the clan has not hoarded grain and rice, and can't control them, Li Weizhen's move is just to suffer those Huainan grain merchants in vain......"

"But—" He paused, changed his words, and said, "At this rate, Gao Shizhong's private money can last for two years at most, what will happen after two years?" ”

Qin Gu's face became solemn, and he said slowly: "Since the beginning of this year, the number of displaced people registered in Fushi has been increasing at a rate of 1,000 per month, and at this rate, the nine counties will increase by nearly 100,000 people a year......

"There is another big thing—" Li Bin nodded, "most of the displaced people are unwilling to become tenants, and most of them are unwilling to spend effort to cultivate the famine, and everyone wants to return to their hometown to serve their land once they survive the famine year...... Zijian has a good plan? ”

Qin Gu was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "There is one, but it is not a good strategy for juniors, but a good strategy proposed by Huairen, a guy who prides himself on being a martial artist......"

"Oh?"

Li Bin frowned: "Huairen also understands farming?" He once told his old man that at his home in Hebei, he had never farmed since he was a teenager......"

Qin Gu smiled and said: "This junior doesn't know, Huairen once suggested that the junior should agree with the nine county Lingcheng that the entire territory of Yanzhou will stop collecting additional Ding Fu from this year, and the displaced people will enter the land to reclaim the wasteland, and no longer collect Ding Fu, and the local New Ding will be born, and no new Ding Fu will be collected." ”

"Ah——?h Li Bin was taken aback, he locked his eyebrows and said: "However, after several years, it will inevitably lead to the depletion of the treasury, how to raise soldiers and govern officials?" ”

Qin Gu smiled: "...... The younger generation hasn't finished talking yet, if that's all, Huairen is just empty mouth and white teeth, standing and talking without backache, he is a military general, and everything is taken care of by us civil officials. Huairen's idea is that stopping the harvest of new Ding Fu is only the first step, and starting next year, it is necessary to implement the integration of mu and Ding in the nine counties of Yanzhou, and collect the grain tax per year according to the number of acres of land under the name, from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people, all of them must pay grain according to the acres of land......

Li Bin trembled, his face suddenly turned pale, and muttered, "This kid ...... Is he dying? ”

As soon as this proposal comes out, Li * will immediately be the public enemy of all the wealthy and noble upper class society in Yanzhou, as a senior Yanzhou person, Li Bin knows the energy of these people too well.

“…… Huairen also said that as long as this discussion came out, he and I would immediately be in the place pointed out by the thousands of people, and because of this, he only discussed with me secretly at this time, and did not talk to others. At that time, he said three strategies, upper, middle, and lower, to implement this law......"

"Tell me about it—" Li Bin said with a wink.

"The best policy is for the government to come forward to establish public land, buy land at a fair price in the hands of the proud family with cash, fill it into the public land, and then distribute it to the displaced people for cultivation, and collect an additional 1 percent of the land loan in addition to the mu every year, with an annual interest rate of 5/1000, until the purchase of land is paid off; The middle policy is to confiscate all the fields of the fleeing Ding households in Yanzhou into public land, and recycle all the land of the wealthy families one by one, all subject to the title deed, and then the displaced people will cultivate and collect the mu endowment, and the early Ding endowment mu will be parallel, and the wealthy and powerful can collect the land endowment according to the Ding household, and the new landless people and the original homesteaders will collect the mu endowment consistently, and the next policy is ......"

Qin Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This martial artist said that the next policy is to be hard, relying on the army to confiscate all the land of the wealthy families, hehe, although he didn't say it explicitly, the younger generation is like a mirror in his heart, this kid has a killing machine......"

"Crazy—" Li Bin shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"If you can do the best policy, it will be a good policy, but the princes of Yanzhou are willing to cooperate, and they are still hesitant......" Qin Gu frowned and said.

"Don't have illusions about those people...... Li Bin said coldly, "The old man has dealt with them for half his life, and he knows these people too well. ”

"Regarding the best policy, Huairen suggests that the medium-sized valve reading below the ten tilt land can be ignored for the time being, and the wealthy families who have more than ten tilts of land should be uniformly purchased to ten tilts, and those who sell land according to the order can ask the imperial court to order a reward, and even award some scattered rank titles, and at the same time exempt them from the mu tax within twenty years, and for the wealthy families who are not willing to sell the land at a flat price, they must pay five years of mu in advance......" Qin Gu said while shaking his head with a wry smile, "Observation, Huairen was born in your old man's mansion, is this old man really just a martial artist?" ”

Li Bin was also speechless for the time being, he smiled bitterly: "I am becoming more and more incomprehensible about this kid, the day before yesterday he wrote back from Luguan, asking me to help him pay attention to finding people who are proficient in the astronomical calendar...... I don't know what he wants to do! ”

Qin Gu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "He also explained to me when he left, what he said was extremely strange, to change Ding Fu into Mu Fu, if there is no talent who is proficient in the astronomical calendar, it is very easy to go wrong......"

Li Bin frowned and said, "What does he mean by this?" ”

Qin Guliang said for a long time: "I thought about it for a long time, and then I guessed that he might want to measure the land of the nine counties, but measuring the land is the matter of the county Cao Xu officials, what is the use of people who are proficient in the astronomical calendar, but this layer can't figure it out anyway......"

Li Bin was speechless.

For a long time, this old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of the world muttered to himself: "Mencius has been in the cloud for five hundred years, and there is a king who has come out ......."

Qin Gu shuddered, he didn't answer Li Bin's words, and only said softly after a while: "Observation, it's too early to say these words, the most important thing in front of us is how to think of how to push Brother Huairen to the position of Yanzhou Domain, and look at the land of nine counties, among the martial artists, we can only count on him......"

Li Bin was taken aback, he looked back at this young man with a long body and outstanding body: "Zijian has figured it out?" ”

Qin Gu shook his head: "It's not that I've figured it out, but the situation is like this, Huairen's words and deeds are very different, but in general, they are very different from ordinary martial artists." In today's world, there are very few people who can act like him and govern the army, and the far-reaching part of his thinking is that many scholars who have read poetry and books are beyond the reach, and it is difficult to know what he will be like in the future, but it is certain that he is the most unique one among the thousands of warriors in Yanzhou for a hundred years......

Then he smiled bitterly: "Observation, the junior admits that the junior is moved by his crazy idea of turning Ding Fu into Mu Fu, and wants to join forces with him...... As long as this matter can be successfully successful, the younger generation will not hesitate to sacrifice his life-"

Li Bin looked at this young Confucian with a look of longing and yearning in surprise, the immaturity on the young man's face was clearly visible, but what made Li Bin even more emotional was the kind of indomitable firmness that appeared on his face at the same time.

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go to the future-

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the sense of responsibility of scholars and doctors for the people in the world has not been completely extinguished in this era of war and chaos, at least in Qin Gu, this sense of responsibility has been quite strong.

"Huairen can't be the lord of Yanzhou, this saving the people and good governance is difficult to implement, observing, supporting and assisting Huairen to take the throne is the first major event to save Li Shu from fire and water today......"

Li Bin narrowed his eyes, and said after a long time: "Gao Shizhong personally repaired a seal last month, avoiding me and the envoy of the house, selling thirty hectares of river valley land in the south of the city to the Yao family, sending Gao Yunwen to secretly enter Beijing, bribing Wang Xiufeng with a huge sum of 5,000 yuan from the sale of land, and presenting the seal to today——"

Qin Gu suddenly became nervous, and his lips turned a little pale: "What is written on it?" ”

Li Bin shook his head: "I don't know, but after Gao Yunwen left Yanzhou, I sent a letter to Wang Xiufeng and Fan Wensu, which should be able to arrive in Bianjing before Gao Yunwen, but Fan Wensu sent a letter a few days ago, and five thousand guan is not a small number...... The watch was handed over anyway......"

Qin Gu opened his mouth wide: "Wang Jun is so blatantly accepting bribes, isn't he afraid of impeachment by the imperial history?" ”

Li Bin shook his head abruptly: "What kind of friendship does he have with today?" As long as everything is not too excessive, the emperor will not ...... him."

"Five thousand...... Isn't that too much? ”

"As long as he doesn't openly conspire, it's not excessive!" Li Bin sneered.

"The court is like this, what is Nai Cangsheng?" Qin Gu said angrily.

Li Bin smiled bitterly: "Yesterday, the letters from Fan Wensu and Tao Xiushi were delivered to my house at the same time......

"Has the court reacted?"

Li Bin nodded: "The emperor is personally driving Murong Yanchao, and after reading the seal, he didn't say anything, and directly sent two decrees, one back to Bianliang, and the other to the Marquis of Taiyuan in Lanzhou——"

"What's it?"

"Fan Wensu didn't see the will, and the envoy directly announced the will to the Left Guard General Zhang Yongde - the matter of the forbidden army, Fan Wensu couldn't intervene! He didn't dare to commit this taboo either......"

"Zhang Yongde?"

"Yes, Enzhou regimental training envoy, Marquis Yu in front of the palace, son-in-law of today's son-in-law, princess of the Jin Kingdom, Zhang Yongde ......"

Qin Gu listened dumbfounded, for a Qipin county order far away on the border, the name Zhang Yongde stimulated him a little more.

“…… When Fan Wensu and Tao Xiushi wrote the letter, Zhang Yongde had already been ordered to leave Beijing, according to rumors, in the name of the Yanzhou Liuzhai Visiting Envoy, came to Yanzhou to investigate the two mutinies last year, and among the accompanying officials there was a person who was famous, the champion of the three years of Qianyou, the current envoy of the Taiyuan Marquis of Lanzhou, the king of Dongping, and the word Wenbo ......"

Li Bin said lightly, but there was always a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking something.

"A Captain of the Pony...... A champion...... Court...... I really can afford to look down on the palm-sized ground in Yanzhou......"

Qin Gu smiled bitterly.

Li Bin sighed and said slowly: "I have sent a letter to Zhe Shizhong, I hope he can come to Yanzhou to sit in Yanzhou for a while, with him, maybe after this Zhang Fuma arrives, the situation in Yanzhou can be more balanced, and the old face of Zhe Kejiu, the court still has to sell a little face, although the emperor read the seal handed by Wang Xiufeng, but did not let the cardinal government deal with the matter, but chose his most trusted and most reassuring relatives from the forbidden army, and it seems that things are not completely helpless......

Speaking of this, he looked towards the north, a little anxious and a little dissatisfied, and said: "It would be nice if Huairen's side could win one or two battles in the near future......"
