After defeating the Goguryeo, Wei Shuo finally had his hands free to plan the vast southern Liaoning region. Now with the 30,000 Han people who Zhang Tong migrated from Daifang and Lelang counties, there are now nearly 70,000 Han people gathered in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and if you add 20,000 Goguryeo captives, nearly 100,000 people have gathered in the entire southern Liaoning.

As soon as the war ended, Wei Shuo and his staff launched a vigorous spring ploughing, due to the use of new farming tools, coupled with the promotion of horse farming technology, nearly 10,000 young and strong Liao people actually reclaimed more than 8 million acres of land.

According to the plan discussed by Wei Shuo and the others, all the Liao people will be placed in the vast and sparsely populated southern and eastern Liaoning. At this time, there were not many people in southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, only Xi'anping, a county seat, and many places were ownerless wasteland, and a population of only 70,000 or 80,000 could easily digest it, and it also saved the trouble of 'fighting local tyrants'.

The implementation of the Juntian system here, Wei Shuo is not at all worried about resistance. In the first or two months of resettlement of the migrants, the most important thing for Wei Shuo and his subordinates was to count household registration and measure land.

According to statistics, more than 17,000 households gathered under the command of Weishuo in Liaodong, with a total of more than 72,000 people. This also includes displaced people who migrated from Obifang and Lelang, as well as those who spontaneously fled from eastern and western Liaoning in recent times. Wei Shuo looked at the statistics in his hand and couldn't help but cry a little.

The total population of the entire southern Liaoning is not even as large as the population of a county under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, you must know that this is the total population of two counties in Liaodi plus one county. This also counts the displaced people who fled from all over Youzhou, otherwise I really don't know how miserable it will be.

Around May, as the measurement statistics and resettlement in various places were almost completed, Wei Shuo was ready to implement the uniform field system in southern Liaoning. The news that the government had recruited displaced people to the south to open up the wasteland spread in Xi'an at once. A large number of displaced people gathered here suddenly gathered at the gate of the county government to inquire about the news.

"Da Lang, Da Lang, take me to see it! Where did this news come from? In a dilapidated house in the county, an elderly man leaned out of the house and shouted straight out of the door.

When a young man heard this, he hurried back from outside, and finally shouted as he ran: "Daddy, notices have been posted at the entrance of the county government!" I'm afraid that I won't understand, so the government has sent someone to read it out on the side, and now many people are gathering at the gate of the county government to listen to it! Aren't I worried that Daddy is in a hurry and came back to call you? ”

After the young man finished speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man who went out, and the two of them were about to go out to read the notice. At this time, an old woman walked out of the house and said, "I said old man, what are you going to do when you are so old?!" Let our eldest man listen to it? What if more people squeeze and touch you? ”

The old man turned his head and glared at his old woman and said, "What do you know as a woman?!" The division of the land among the people is a major matter related to the livelihood and death of ordinary people such as us, as the head of the family, if I don't see it with my own eyes, how can I relax my heart? ”

"Oh, Dad, mother, don't fight, it's a little later, maybe the official government will be finished!" The old woman hadn't said anything, but the young man next to her couldn't wait.

As soon as the old man remembered the notice, he put out the idea of arguing with his mother-in-law, and walked towards the county hall accompanied by his son. When the old man and his son arrived, a large number of homeless people had gathered at the gate of the county government to inquire about the news. Because it was late, the old man listened and asked the people around him about the content of the front.

"The government said that each family should be divided into at least 300 acres of wasteland, a ploughing horse, and a set of new farming tools! In addition to the fields, horses and farming tools were lent to us by the government, and after the autumn harvest, each family paid a certain amount of grain according to the harvest as repayment. Of course, it doesn't have to be paid in full this year, and if this year's harvest is not very good, the debt can be postponed for three to five years. ”

"It's a matter of course to pay back debts, there's nothing to say! Since the government is willing to lend us horses and farming tools, it is already considered to be benevolent and righteous! The old man only cares about how much the government stipulates the tax? "The old man didn't care about paying off his debts, he was only worried about the government collecting too many taxes.

When the man saw that he was asking about the tax, he immediately showed a hint of excitement on his face and said: "Hehe, my husband doesn't know, Master Wei is sympathetic to the life of the homeless people like me, so he deliberately lowered the tenant rent per mu to fifteen taxes and one!" ”

The old man couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, and said, "Is it really fifteen taxes and one?" ”

"Shhhh Can I lie to you about such a big thing? Don't believe you ask the people around you? ”

At this time, the surrounding homeless people nodded their heads, confirming that the man had not deceived the old man. Unexpectedly, the old man burst into tears, how many years, since Wenjing, the peasant tax has never fallen so low today. A tenant like him, who has been a tenant with others for generations, has been suffering for so many years like a tree without roots, and he has come to him and has the land that his ancestors dreamed of.

……

In addition, in view of the particularity of the geography of southern Liaoning, Weishuo has set up a municipal shipping department in Lushun Port during the construction of the city, which will manage the foreign trade of Liaoning in a unified manner. According to the regulations, Liaodi will unify tariffs, and different transaction taxes will be levied at one time according to different commodities at the time of transaction, and then goods can pass freely in southern Liaoning without having to pay taxes.

This move is aimed at invigorating the business of Liaodi, as a modern person, Wei Shuo knows that there is no agriculture, no business, no wealth, no work, no strong. Therefore, after the uniform land system was on the right track and the agricultural development of Liaodi was initially stable, Wei Shuo focused on the commercial development of the county.

"My lord, it is understandable that the salt and iron will be monopolized by the government, but why should tea be included in it?"

Lu Chang, Han Shou and others didn't understand why Wei Shuo insisted on including the humble tea in the government's monopoly, in their opinion, the annual tax on tea was only tens of thousands of dollars, and it was not worth such a big effort. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, because tea had not yet been popularized to the lower classes, everyone was not optimistic about the tax prospects of tea, but Wei Shuo did not see it that way.

He believes that with the passage of time, tea will sooner or later become an indispensable daily necessities in the people's homes like salt, and the grassland Hu people also have a great demand for tea.

In order to dispel everyone's doubts, Wei Shuo still patiently explained to everyone at the moment: "Everyone here should have tasted Laoshan roasted tea, and they all know how attractive it is, I believe that sooner or later tea will become a consumer product that people can't do without like salt." It is now listed as a monopoly product to avoid trouble in the future. ”

Although Wei Shuo's reason was a bit far-fetched, everyone had no choice but to obey considering that the lord had always been right. After dealing with agriculture and business, Wei Shuo focused on education. In order to cultivate reserve talents, Wei Shuo plans to set up county, county, and township schools in southern Liaoning.

All people in Liaodi, with children over the age of six in their families, both male and female, can go to the countryside for free to receive Mongolian education; After six years, you can enter the county school after passing the exam; In three years, you will be able to take the county school entrance exam; If the student successfully passes the county school graduation examination and gets the state school admission notice, he can study in the state school in the future.

According to Wei Shuo's vision, only students who have learned from the state will be eligible to participate in the civil service recruitment examination to be held by the government in the future. Wei Shuo drew on the experience of the imperial examinations in history and completely separated the official examination from the academic examination. Historically, it was the government's failure to distinguish between the two that the imperial examination system gradually went astray.

In the future, in southern Liaoning, as long as students graduate from the state school, they have obtained the corresponding degree level, and they can engage in the corresponding profession with this. If you want to be an official, you must participate in the imperial examination held by the government every year, and only after passing the imperial examination can you be eligible to be an official.

In order to prepare for the establishment of schools at all levels, Wei Shuo asked Pingyuan Liu Zhan, Huiji Zhu Zuoche, Taishan Hu Wuyi, and Lu Guo Kong Su, who had just defected to him, to serve as the school administrator in Liaodong, and was responsible for all matters in the process of preparing for the construction of schools at all levels. Liu Zhen is different from other famous families, and he is one of the few people in this era who is proficient in Confucianism. Coupled with the assistance of Huiji Zhu Zuoche, Taishan Hu Wuyi, and Lu Guokong Su, I believe that it will not be long before schools will be built all over Liaodong.
