Chapter 139: Yu Jing

At the same time as recovering Le County and Wuji County, Zhao Xun also began to get busy in Yanzhou City, and a ploughing decree was like a drop of water dropping from hot oil, and it suddenly cracked.

Countless people and victims rejoiced because they had their own land, and the Governor's Office promised to provide them with seeds, farming tools, and help them rebuild their homes. They have applied for household registration and recognized the territory, and the entire Yanzhou City has a radius of nearly 100 miles, and it is lively all of a sudden. Plough the fields and build new homes. According to the order of the Huolin Army, every hundred households is one mile, and every ten miles is a town.

Of course, not everyone welcomed the new decree of the Huolin Army, but within three days, more than 100 large landlords were arrested and dozens of fierce resistance were killed, so that these people immediately understood who was the current owner of Yanzhou Mansion, and forced them to spit out the fields that they had privately embezzled. Of course, if you are willing to sell the land in your hand, the Fire Lin Army will buy it at the market price. As for the more than 100 people who were captured and killed, their fields were confiscated by the Huolin Army, and their family wealth became the money for the Huolin Army to buy the fields of other landlords.

Suddenly, the Huolin Army became the savior of the ordinary people of Yanzhou Mansion, and they truly recognized the status of the Huolin Army. Because they know that if they want to keep the land in their hands, they can only do it if the Huolin Army is there.

"My lord, I thought I was bold enough, but I didn't expect that my lord was even bolder than me, so that we would offend all the landlords and merchants in Yanzhou Mansion." Situ Liang said with a wry smile.

Zhao Xun said disapprerovingly: "Offending the big landlord was unavoidable at that time, but offending the businessman was not necessarily." ”

"Oh? Did an adult pay attention to it? ”

"Look at this!" As he spoke, Zhao Xun handed over the things he had been thinking about for three days in his hand.

"Yanzhou Mansion Commercial Decree!"

"Uh...... It's a decree again! Kindness? ”

Situ Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "My lord wants to unify the commercial tax of Yanzhou Mansion?" ”

"Yes, a thousand county governments collect taxes privately, and merchants have to pay different taxes everywhere they go, and they have to be troubled by soldiers from all over the country, but now, the Yanzhou government collects taxes uniformly, and the tax department will issue vouchers.

"Tall! My lord's hand is high, and it seems that we have collected less, but this is really in our hands, not in the hands of the local county government, and at the same time, the merchants have reduced the taxes due. The most important thing is to strengthen the control of the place and the attraction of merchants, Yanzhou Mansion is the front end of the handover between the Yan State and the Yan Dynasty, and the trade is extremely frequent, although the war is now, but it must be a place where commerce is extremely developed in the future. ”

"You say, who is in charge of this tax department?"

"This ...... Whoever adults think is the most suitable! ”

"You......" Zhao Xun smiled and said nothing.

The Taxation Department is an unusual yamen, and now the Huolin Army has begun to build its own independent yamen, and gradually put the Thorn History Mansion aside, this tax department will be an important source of wealth for the Huolin Army in the future, who dares to meddle lightly? Although Situ Liang is Zhao Xun's cronies, this kind of thing cannot be said at will, especially since Zhao Xun has a great desire to control everything.

"Let's wait for my mother to come over and see if they have anyone who is familiar with finances."

Situ Liang's heart moved, although Zhao Xun did not say who it was, but Situ Liang guessed that the people from this new yamen were among the newcomers.

"By the way, did I find the place I was looking for?"

"My subordinates thought that seven miles away from the northwest side of the city was the most suitable, where the terrain was flat, but there was no water source, and it was not suitable for farming, and all the martyrs' mausoleums were the most suitable to be built there, not far from the city, and suitable for the people to worship."

Zhao Xunqing said a little depressedly: "Thousands of soldiers sacrificed for Yanzhou Mansion, what we can do, in addition to reconciling their families, can only erect a monument for them to pay tribute to future generations, so that future generations can remember that they can comfort and live here, and these people have exchanged their lives and blood for it." ”

Situ Liang smashed his mouth and said: "Compared to others, no, compared to the imperial court, your lord has done well enough, and we have also settled their families, thinking about it, under Jiuquan, they will also leave with a smile." ”

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, the most important thing now is to settle the people to start planting winter wheat, so as not to worry about food next year." ”

"This lord can rest assured, the Supervision Department has been sent to the four counties, and the Huolin Army from all over the country has also assisted them in distributing fields, farm tools, and seeds, and starting to cultivate, even if a few little rats make trouble, they will be struck by the thunder of the Huolin Army and cut off their claws." Situ Liang said confidently, now in Yanzhou Mansion, who would dare to go against the Huolin Army? Even if there were, it could only be a dead man.

"How's it going when I asked you to recruit readers?"

Situ Liang's face suddenly turned red, and he said hatefully: "The scholars in Yanzhou Mansion are all cheap bones, except for a dozen or so scholars who are about to starve to death, the rest should not be recruited. ”

Zhao Xun suddenly became interested: "Oh? What's going on? Why not come? This time, we have adjusted the officials of the four counties, removed a lot, and vacated a lot of positions as officials, are they not interested? ”

Situ Liang said with an ugly face: "They all say that adults ...... Adult ......"

"Say I'm plotting against me?" Zhao Xun said disapprerovingly.

"If you want to recruit these scholars, you need to convince one more person."

"Who? Who has such great ability to make the scholars of Yanzhou Mansion as the leader? Zhao Xun asked lightly, but the cold glint in his eyes made Situ Liang go straight to him, and Zhao Xun must have a killing intent in his heart. Yes, how can Zhao Xun not be afraid of being able to command the scholars of the first mansion and become the controller of Yanzhou Mansion.

Situ Liang hurriedly said: "It's not that this person can order scholars, it's just that this person has a high reputation in Yanzhou Mansion, and most of the scholars in Yanzhou Mansion are taught by him." ”

"You're talking about Yu Jing?"

"Exactly!"

"Yu Jing? I'd like to see you! Zhao Xun tapped lightly on the table and said lightly.

After Situ Liang left, Zhao Xun took a detailed look at the information about Yu Jing collected by the Shadow Guard, and was shocked to see it, he could save his life in the case of the most leftist minister, this Yu Jing is really not simple, you know, the left minister Situ Lei is not easy to think with, except for the Qi Wang Party, anyone who goes against Situ Liang has no good results. is like his father, who escaped for more than ten years, and was finally caught up by Zuo Xiang's people. What's more, more than ten years ago, Situ Lei was not the prime minister.

Although he doesn't agree with Yu Jing's style of doing things, Zhao Xun still admires Yu Jing's personality, upright, and more stubborn than Gao Tu who he wooed. Such a person, whether it is a colleague or a senior official, will not like it, but Zhao Xun knows that such a person is the best candidate in the supervision system.

"Han Meng, let Mrs. Xiaohongdao bring the calligraphy and paintings in those gifts, and we will visit Yu Jing."

Han Meng said with some puzzlement: "My lord, that Yu Jing is a stone in the pit, it smells and is hard, why do you want to visit him?" Besides, aren't we at odds with him, and he's against us at every turn. ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "It's because I'm against us everywhere that I want to visit him." Go ahead! ”

"It's strange, the person who is against us still wants to visit, and I can't guess what the adults think." Muttered as he walked.

Yufu.

"Master, Zhao Xun, the commander of the Huolin Army, is here, saying that he is visiting the master!" The housekeeper said nervously to Yu Jing, who was sitting in the back garden.

"How many people came?"

"There is a team of guards to follow, but they all stay outside the house, only five guards came in with him, and now in the hall, why don't I go and say, the adults are sick, and it is inconvenient to see guests?"

"Visit me? This Zhao Xun ......," Yu Jing muttered to herself silently.

"No, I'll go and see what this Huolin Army commander who has leveled Yanzhou Mansion wants to do?" Yu Jing put down the scroll in her hand and said lightly.

"I've seen Mr. Yu!" Seeing Yu Jing, Zhao Xun saluted respectfully.

As if she hadn't seen it, Yu Jing sat straight on the main seat, and said lightly: "Commander Zhao is giving this ceremony, the old man can't stand it, I don't know if Commander Zhao is here today, why are you doing it?" ”

Seeing Yu Jing holding on to him like this, Han Meng and a few guards were furious, if it weren't for Zhao Xun's repeated explanations, they wouldn't have made trouble, and they would have thrown this unreasonable guy out a long time ago.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "In the next two days, the two calligraphy and paintings of Xie Wen in the previous dynasty, I know that Mr. loves calligraphy and painting, and I specially gave them to Mr. ”

When Yu Jing heard this, her eyes lit up, Xie Wen of the previous dynasty, that is a calligraphy master, a good handwriting, even the emperor of the current dynasty regards it as a treasure, and now there are not many people who have spread it.

"No merit is not lost, the gift of Commander Zhao, Yu can't afford it. Commander Zhao still said it directly, I know that Commander Zhao has recently taken control of Yanzhou Mansion, but he is very busy, so he must not have extra time to go around in circles with me. ”

Zhao asked: "Since this is the case, Zhao said bluntly, and I hope that Mr. Yu can do something for the people of Yanzhou Mansion." ”

Yu Jing looked at Zhao Xun and said disapprerovingly: "Yu is an idler, when Lord Zou was in charge of Yanzhou Mansion, Yu was still powerless, not to mention, now Yanzhou Mansion is in charge of Zhao Commander." Yu is powerless. ”

"I can't restrain the chicken, but Lord Yu is much more powerful than the captain of the first battalion who commanded the thousand troops."

"What do you mean by Commander Zhao?"

"Does Mr. Yu know about the refusal of the Yanzhou Mansion scholars?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Yu Jing said flatly.

Zhao inquired: "This has nothing to do with Lord Yu, but I heard that Lord Yu is an example of a scholar in Yanzhou Mansion, and Lord Yu's words are better than the edict of the Assassin Mansion." ”

Yu Jing said disapprerovingly: "Really? That's everyone's love, but whether they answer the call or not, that's their own will, I didn't stop it, and this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhao Xun's smile gradually faded, looked at Yu Jing and said, "It doesn't matter, but I hope that Lord Yu can contribute to the people of Yanzhou Mansion, let these scholars participate in the recruitment, and speed up the stability of Yanzhou Mansion." ”

Yu Jing said coldly: "If Yu is powerless, how can I force others to will?" ”

Zhao Xun also said coldly: "Lord Yu, may I ask, if there is no Huolin Army with me, how would Yanzhou Mansion be now?" If you are dissatisfied with me, where are the hundreds of thousands of people in Yanzhou Mansion? Without Yanzhou Mansion, my Huolin Army will still crisscross Youzhou, but without my Huolin Army, Yanzhou Mansion will be reduced to nothingness under the iron hooves of the Yan Army. Lord Yu, think about it, Han Meng! Let's go! I don't bother to talk about it! ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving behind two volumes of calligraphy and painting and a silent Yu Jing.

"Sir! Zhao Xun is so blind, we ......"

"You go down, I want to be quiet!"

"Okay, the old slave has gone down."
