The three mob leaders were a little surprised to hear Cao Zhang's words, after all, in their eyes, Cao Zhang was a high-ranking figure, even if there was anything, let Wei Zhen tell them, why do they need to personally say to each other, although the three of them were illiterate and coarse, they also realized that what Cao Zhang wanted to ask for was unusual.

Zhang Ping, a craftsman who built the house, said: "Although my lord tells us, we will do our best." ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said, "You must do your best, I want to ask the three of you to make a windfall." ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, even Wei Zhen was full of doubts, and Cao Zhang then smiled: "Three, now all the squires of the Chen family in Beiqu County have been purged by Lord Wei, and now the entire Beiqu can be said to be in ruins, and the cultivated land of the squire's manor has been abandoned, I want to give the two components of these manors to the three, so that you can become the landlord of Beiqu." ”

There are at least 100 hectares of cultivated land outside Beiqu County, and the two achievements are 20 percent, and everyone can get at least two manors in the conversion, although the property of the original squire in Beiqu is insignificant, but for these three ordinary people, it is indeed a windfall, and these manors are enough to make them the leading landlords in Beiqu.

These three people never expected Cao Zhang's action to be so generous, and they were pleasantly surprised for a while, and they even forgot to thank them, and then Cao Zhang said: "Three, I will give you this manor, but Zhuang Ding can't give it to you, but will escort it back to Hedong County, and then send it back to Xudu through Luoyang, so you need to find your own way to take care of the manor." ”

The three of them hurriedly agreed, and then thanked him, Cao Zhang waved his hand and said: "In the future, the three of them will be the big landlords of Beiqu, don't forget that you were born poor, and you used to act lightly for the people, and you must not learn from the squires in the past to bully the local people." ”

Chen Xing, a car builder, replied: "Don't worry, my lord, the three of us will not oppress the people, and we will definitely stand out for someone to oppress the people." ”

Cao Zhang smiled and said: "It's okay to come out now, but when the court officials come, you must help the officials to implement the law of the country, and don't abuse private weapons." ”

The three of them agreed in unison, and Cao Zhang continued: "In addition, I will use some of the stolen materials as baggage in the army, and part of it will be used to build a people's warehouse, provide grain seeds and farm tools for the people to borrow on their own, and encourage them to reclaim wasteland, and in addition, those cultivated land and manors, I will let the officials give part of the officials to the landless people, and part of it will be the military cantonment of our army, I will do these things within a month, and the three of them are loved by the people in Beiqu, so I also need three to assist me in pushing the executive order." ”

When the three of them heard this, they immediately agreed, and Cao Zhang then called the guards in, and explained a few words to the three of them to go with the guards to Wang Ling to collect their manor and cultivated land.

After the three of them left, Wei Zhen said: "The third prince is smart, it turns out that the third prince wants to take all the strong men who are attached to the Chen family for his own use, but taking away the strong men will inevitably make the people of Beiqu unstable, so the third prince will reward the manor to the mob leader, and then let them stabilize the people's hearts." “

Cao Zhang said: "These three people come from humble backgrounds, and often help the people to fight against the big families in Beiqu, naturally they have more ways than us, and after I take away the strong men, the manor of the squire in Beiqu is no longer engaged in production, and they can also collect a tax for them, and they can also let some people share the fields, and with the support of Huimin Cang, the yeoman farmers will not be in danger of being annexed, which is exactly what I am happy to see." ”

Wei Zhen said: "Please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that the third prince vigorously supports the mob like this, it seems that he wants to suppress the big clan. ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "Is Gongzhen worried about the status of the Wei family and the Huo family in Pingyang?" ”

Wei Zhen said: "The subordinates are naturally to serve the lord and the third son, and the view of the portal family is naturally placed under the loyal word, I am just afraid that the clan brother and the inner son will be worried." ”

Wei Zhen is the younger brother of Wei Ting, the head of the Wei family, and the husband of the head of the Huo family, so he naturally thinks of this.

I only heard Cao Zhang say: "The Wei family and the Huo family have the right to mine minerals in Pingyang, and their wealth must be the first in Pingyang, these three people can only be rich in Beiqu County at most, and there are Qingmiao Law and Huimin Cang, they want to copy the original squire's practice of annexing homesteaders with loan methods It is also difficult to achieve, plus they have no knowledge, they don't know anything about the general trend of the world, and they can't guess the deep meaning of the decree after the decree is exercised, and they can't use their wealth to make huge profits. Presumably, the master of the Wei family will not have this concern for a long time, because he should understand my intentions. ”

Wei Zhen suddenly realized: "It turns out that the third prince doesn't want the kind of big clan that dominates one side to appear in Beiqu again, so that the court officials can better control the county seat. ”

Cao Zhang said: "That's right, there are still townships, pavilions, and miles under a county, and now it is a troubled time, and human life is like a mustard, so there are vast and sparsely populated people, the so-called one mile and one hundred families, ten miles and one pavilion are just talking, now ten rooms and nine empty, how can there be any hundreds of thousands of households, if you still let the local forces sit big, I am afraid that the people's lives will be more unbearable." ”

Wei Zhen nodded and said: "What the third prince said is very true, compared to the third prince, Zhen is really short-sighted!" ”

Cao Zhang smiled, and then said: "Gong Zhen, I gave them a windfall, and now it's time to give Gong Zhen a windfall." ”

Wei Zhen said strangely when he heard this: "How can the third prince say this? ”

Cao Zhang picked up the inkstone he was sitting on and said, "Gong Zhen, can you know what this is made of?" ”

Wei Zhen said: "The inkstone is naturally made of graphite. ”

Cao Zhang said: "Graphite! In fact, there is also a mineral that is very similar to graphite in this graphite-producing place, which is a fuel, which is not only flammable, but also can be burned for a long time, much longer than wood and charcoal, and it is best used to make iron and cook rice. ”

In fact, Cao Zhang is talking about coal, the last time he mentioned Pingyang minerals with Wei Ting, Wei Ting said that Pingyang has iron ore, copper and gold mines, but he didn't mention coal mines, Pingyang is Shanxi in the era before Cao Zhang, Shanxi coal tycoons are in addition to the name, so Cao Zhang concluded that there must be coal mines, but coal as fuel has not been popularized in the Han Dynasty, and the graphite used to make inkstones is actually a kind of coal mine, presumably the Han Dynasty people ignored the coal mines that can be used as fuel because they attached importance to graphite.

In the Han Dynasty, the material for burning the fire was either hay or wood, or it was charcoal burned from wood, and no one used coal at all, which made Cao Zhang think that if the coal mine was developed, wouldn't it be a big money, the reason why he told Wei Zhen and didn't tell Wei Ting was because Wei Zhen now thought he was a member of the Cao family, and he Cao Zhang could naturally get a piece of the pie.

Wei Zhen looked at the inkstone with a half-believing expression on his face, and Cao Zhang said when he saw this: "Gongzhen can go and find it by himself, I think in Pingyang, there should be a lot of this thing, but it is a big windfall, and I hope Gongzhen will be cautious."
