Chapter 20 Enabling Liu Bei
As for the problem of travel, I was going to ask for a horse sent by Su Shuang some time ago, but I gave up as soon as I saw the tall horse, this horse is strong, but unfortunately it is too high, it is all to my chest, I am tired of climbing a horse, I can't ride, what should I do if I fall. So I had to change the carriage, at this time the carriage was only two wheels, and it shook when it was opened, so I had no choice but to improve it myself, change the four-wheeled one, wrap a few layers of cowhide around the wheel, and change the two good horse-drawn carriages, and the dress was OK, which was the car for me to travel in the future.
There were also a hundred loyal soldiers selected from the army of 10,000 people, and these soldiers were all big men over 1.8 meters tall. By the way, I named it "Tiger Guard", the commander was Chen Dao, and he was named a miscellaneous general of 'General Huwei', and this kid also felt uncomfortable in charge and had to lead troops, so he let me fish it out.
Today, I think the weather is good, and I wandered around the street with the tiger guard, and found that there were a lot of displaced people, as if they all heard that Xiongba Villa, widely collected displaced people, divided fields and houses, and only paid half of the tax for farming, so they all rushed over there.
Sure enough, it's still my own mountain cow, and when I was sighing, I suddenly heard someone scolding me!
"I heard that there has been a new Taishou recently, and the person has a fat head and big ears, but he ignores the life and death of the people and the homeless, and plays around all day long, which is simply a representative of a generation of faint officials." Passerby A: "Well, I seem to have heard that the Taishou is the owner of the Xiongba Villa" Passerby B, don't joke, just that pig-like Taishou, it will be benevolent and righteous, loving the people like a son, the handsome and dashing Xiongba owner "Passerby A" Maybe I heard it wrong, that Taishou really doesn't look like it, more like a big corrupt official. "Passerby B......
Listening to the remarks of these people, I realized that I am not only the lord of the village, but also the parents and officials of the people of a county, everyone is also my relatives, and they are my people who enter my territory, I only think about building an army and having rights, I have never thought about the problems of these people, I am derelict in my duties, and those officials at all levels, none of them reminded me, they are all waste.
"Someone come, immediately notify the officials of all parts of the county, and come to my house in three days," I instructed the tiger guard next to me.
"Go home" I have to hurry back and think about how to deal with the problems of the people, it's really hard to have no strategists now, you have to worry about everything, Jian Yong is just a big mouth, government affairs are not his strength, and he doesn't even go out, what can he know.
Three days later, some important officials from various departments of Zhuo County sat in the lobby, quietly waiting for Taishou to come out.
"Hello everyone, I asked you to come here this time to deal with the problem of displaced people, I am still young and don't know much about this matter, but, Hu Cao is engaged, I will resign myself today, I will allow you to return to your hometown. As soon as I came out, I said things directly.
Everyone is talking about this Cao Engagement, and he is only in his early forties, so he is old, this is too guarded.
"Yes, the villain's supervision is not effective, and the displaced people are everywhere, and they have not been notified to deal with it, so the villain will resign,......" Hu Cao finished speaking and left. In fact, it's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he looks down on Chu Xiong, this kid, and he doesn't bother to report, so he didn't expect to fire himself directly.
"Recently recruited talents, do you think who is more suitable to take on the position of Tocao, mainly responsible for the planting, reclamation, resettlement of displaced people, refugees in the territory under our jurisdiction now and in the future, this position is very important, very human." I looked at the people below with anticipation. Before the lord asked him, Jian Yong was already thinking about it, and there were indeed a group of talented people who were selected and recommended this time. As for the one who can take on this great responsibility, it is estimated that he is the only one.
"Lord, some time ago, there was a young talent, surnamed Liu Mingbei, the word Xuande, is a great sage, does not stick to details, steady and pioneering. It's a big job! Jian Yong came out in return.
"Oh, such a young talent, you have to take good care of it!" I was very amused to see Yu Jianyong say. Liu Bei, of course I know the talent, but I don't dare to use it.
Liu Bei's mood is very complicated now, I heard that Zhuojun Taishou is a heroic boy who is younger than himself. Listening to Jian Changshi's rumors, Lord Taishou wants to summon him, his family has declined, and although his current life is not embarrassing, he is definitely not rich. It was my mother who worked hard to raise herself as an adult, shouldering the heavy responsibility of prospering the Liu family, and studying hard.
I didn't expect to finally have a chance, some time ago, I saw Taishou's talent documents, and I recommended myself, I didn't expect Jian Yong to know, I originally planned to go to a county to operate, and with the merits of accumulating the appreciation of the winner Gong Chuxiong, Zhongxing Liu family, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
Just when Liu Bei was in a trance, he had already come to Chuxiong's Taishou Mansion with the guards, and the decoration of the Taishou Mansion was very simple, which made Liu Bei look forward to this young Taishou even more. Then he came to Chuxiong's study, and a big man from the Black Tower stood outside the door, just like a door god, which made people dare not look at it. Zhang Fei opened the door of the study and took Liu Bei into the study. Report to the lord: "Liu Bei brought it!" Hearing that Liu Bei was coming, Chu Xiong put down the plough he was drawing in his hand. Looking at Liu Bei, he was really seven feet five inches long (height: about 1.725 meters today), with two ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands over his knees, his eyes could take care of his ears, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like grease. originally knew that Liu Bei was a talent, and the conditions had been met. When Chu Xiong was looking at Liu Bei, Liu Bei was also looking at the young Taishou, approachable, with a slightly wheat-colored complexion, about nine feet tall, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face, a waist circumference of fifteen girths, a fat appearance, a simple face, and really very human. Such people are too guarded, and they are actually white.
"I've already decided, Xuande will be the one who is engaged in Zhuo County, I hope Xuande won't shirk it! This time, I handed over the foundation of Zhuojun to Xuande, hoping that Xuande can let the people live a worry-free life! I plan to attract displaced people to Zhuo County, and Xuande also knows that Zhuo County has a vast land, but the population is only 550,000, which is very small. On the contrary, the people did not have the land to cultivate and plant. He lived a life of hunger and cold. It's a pain in my heart! Chu Xiong put his hands behind his back, looked at the high place, and a very painful expression spread all over his face. Xuande listened to the lord's work for the well-being of the people, and he was very moved.
"I set the first policy of agricultural reform, all the people of Zhuo County, or the displaced people from other counties can reclaim land in Zhuo County, and the 20 acres of land reclaimed by each person can be inherited as their own forever land. If more than 20 acres are reclaimed, it must be returned to the county government after 10 years, and of course, you can continue to cultivate this part of the land by paying a certain tax. The cumulative land owned by each person in the family cannot exceed 20 acres, and those who exceed 20 acres will be reclaimed by the prefecture and county after 10 years. What does Xuande think? I looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei's expression was very surprised now, and he secretly sighed that the lord was really extraordinary. In this way, the number of people living in Zhuo County will increase rapidly, and the tax paid for planting more than 20 acres will make the government treasury rich.
"There is still a question, the homeless people need farm tools, seeds, and basic materials at the beginning of planting, have you ever considered it?" Liu Bei said the question in his heart.
"Xuande is really talented, this is the second policy of agricultural reform that I am going to talk about below, the people can receive relevant materials from the government treasury, but the materials need to be returned, and the county government needs to recover a certain amount of interest, one percent interest. As for the reclamation tools, they are all provided free of charge by Zhuofu and given away permanently, and after they are destroyed, they need to be purchased from the government treasury! Chu Xiong told Liu Bei about his two strategies for Dingnong. Liu Bei was even more surprised when he heard Chu Xiong's second strategy, he had never heard that the government had lent money to the people. Although one percent of the interest will bring great benefits to the treasury, such a concession and for the sake of the people are unprecedented.
Looking at Liu Bei's slightly surprised expression, Chu Xiong took Liu Bei's hand: "Xuande, I don't know if Xuande can relieve my worries and help me take on the root of everything, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment." "Seeing that the Lord treats himself like this, and entrusts himself with such an important matter. Liu Bei bowed: "Be prepared to live up to the high expectations of the lord and protect agriculture for the lord and the people!" But if there is a mistake, I am willing to come and see you." Chu Xiong helped Liu Bei up and gave Liu Bei a heavy hug.
For Liu Bei, whose family is in decline, Chu Xiong is so gracious, I don't know if he rebels or not, anyway, let's put him in the civil affairs to help deal with things first, now there are too few talents, take advantage of the fact that he just has ideals, no ambitions, and is not the treacherous hero in the future, use it well. I also ordered Jian Yong, whenever Liu Bei has any requirements, I will do my best to meet them. As a result, Zhuo County's agricultural reform was vigorously carried out.
After the army, no one can move the army without my order, and it can only be my army alone. In addition, I arranged a good hand to secretly observe Liu Bei, and reported back if necessary.
This product can't be guarded against, mainly from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I know that Liu Bei's vitality is too tenacious.
