When he heard this, he was grateful and said: "Zijing is so trusted by the lord, although the liver and brain are ruined, it is not enough to repay the kindness of the lord!" ”

Wen Yuan smiled and helped him up, and personally accompanied the two of them to dine in the back hall, and at the end, he took the time to summon Wang Li to come.

As soon as he saw Wang Li, Wen Yuan couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Mr. Gonghe?" ”

Wang Li replied: "The lord is relieved, Mr. Frustrated's family has moved into Xiaquyang, Mr. has already arrived in the gall, but said that he wanted to find a virtuous talent for the lord, and did not enter the city and went straight to the south, saying that he was going to Ren County, because he was worried about the lord's thoughts, so he ordered the little one to report first." ”

Wen Yuanhu was stunned and said unhappily: "Confused! You are here, how can the safety of the husband be preserved? Wait, you said Ren County? Mr. Fei is looking for ......" suddenly moved in his heart, and said word by word......

Wang Li smiled and nodded in response: "It should be Tian Feng!" The small ones see it that way, too. ”

Wen Yuan jumped up, rubbed his hands back and forth excitedly, and said after thinking for a while: "You quickly lead a hundred, oh no, three hundred elite soldiers go to Ren County to pick up, if you can receive Tian Feng to come to the gall pottery, you will immediately send someone to report!" ”

Wang Li took the order and got up and left, Wen Yuan was still a little uneasy, and called Wang Li and said: "Remember, you must ensure that the two gentlemen are thorough when you go, and if there is a slight difference, you will come to see you!" ”

"Little obedience!" Wang Li said goodbye and left.

After Wang Li left, Wen Yuan was still excited, stopping and chattering from time to time.

"Tian Feng ......"

The next day, in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, fifty or sixty people, including the political leaders and county commanders of Julu County, and other officials of all sizes in the army, gathered together to wait for the arrival of the new Taishou.

The officials of the counties gathered around and whispered, nervously inquiring about the news of the new Taishou from the officials of the county town, and refused to let go of any foot that Wen Yuan walked first, hoping to find out the temperament of the officials in the future from these trivial things, and it would be easy to adapt later.

Compared with them, the officials and generals of the Wenyuan family, such as Zhang Jaw, Jiao Touch, Liu Hui, and Zhao Zhao, were indifferent, they just said hello to their colleagues, and stood quietly to the side, not looking at the nervous colleagues beside them.

Although the foreign officials also had the heart to inquire about the preferences of the new Taishou and the others, Zhang Jaw, Jiao Touch, and Murong Ping had cold faces, didn't say a word, and stood there motionless.

He looked more elegant, but because he was too young, everyone didn't think much of him, and even if he wanted to ask, he might not get the answer he wanted.

In addition, the only one left is Liu Hui, Liu Hui is a famous man in Hebei, and the Julu officials know a small half of him, but Liu Hui is too famous, and he used to be an official under the state pastor Han Fu, and he is rarely implicated in these things, and everyone is very respectful to him, but every time he asks about key things, Liu Hui always laughs and does not speak.

Just when everyone in the hall was worried, Wen Yuan slowly walked out of the back hall, only to see him dressed in a black straight coat, wearing a crown of red sandalwood, and a long sword at his waist, looking handsome and chic, but a pair of eyes were always slightly squinted, and there was no essence shining out. Everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw Taishou so young.

"See Taishou!" When all the civil and military officers saw Wen Yuan coming, they all bowed down and bowed.

"Princesses, please get up."

Wen Yuanjing walked to his desk and sat down, raised his left hand upward, and helped dozens of people in the hall up like qigong.

I only heard him say lightly: "Zhugong, now I am in charge of the first job, and the matter of Julu is quite familiar except for Quyang County, you have worked hard and made great achievements in your office, and Liao will need to rely on Zhugong to assist you wholeheartedly in the future." ”

As soon as they heard Wen Yuan's opening remarks, the county officials suddenly felt reassured, and they thanked each other with a smile on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and his voice said coldly: "However, if someone dares to rely on his qualifications and refuses to work hard, the sword in my hand is also unkind!" “

Feeling Wen Yuan's condensed and cold eyes, Julu Wenwu only felt cold sweat on his back, and just got up and knelt on the ground.

Wen Yuan's momentum was immediately retracted, and he returned to his previous harmless and gentle appearance of humans and animals, making people almost think that the moment of sharpness just now was his own illusion, only to hear him laugh and say: "That is the case, each county will first report the number of acres of fields, Dingkou, and military service in the county." "Each county is not in charge of money and grain, so you can know the approximate situation of a county with just these few data.

The county magistrates and county commanders knew that this matter was the top priority, and they remembered that the melons were ripe and ripe, and they came as soon as they opened their mouths.

Wen Yuan listened carefully, and ordered to take a pen and paper to write them down one by one, and at this time, everyone saw that the draw was so important, and they were amazed in their hearts.

After reporting for half an hour, he took notes and then added them to calculate, and after a while, the numbers were presented to Wenyuan.

Wen Yuan took it, as if he remembered something, and said to everyone: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this person's surname is the main book under my account, and I hope that you will help you more in the future." ”

"It turned out to be the master of the book, disrespectful and disrespectful......" As soon as I heard that this person was actually Wen Yuan's minister, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet each other with courtesy.

There was a rush to deal with, and Wen Yuan was holding a string of numbers and watching intently.

Sure enough, as Wenyuan expected, the number reported by the counties was slightly less than that of the county government, and in the fifteen counties of Julu, every year there were Dingkou who died in various disasters and famines, or fled to other states and counties, and now there are still 68,673 households in the entire Julu County, and 301,392 mouths. 2,347,594 acres of land.

In contrast, the fifteen counties had much more soldiers than Wen Yuan expected, except for Xia Quyang, the remaining fourteen counties had a total of 12,000 soldiers!

Wenyuan recruited the county Cheng Hu Kui to ask before he was relieved, originally each county had four or five hundred guards, after Yangjiabao was sacked by himself, the state and county ordered, each county recruited five hundred young and strong, Xia Quyang had just made a windfall at that time, and he also recruited two thousand soldiers at once.

But in this way, the entire Julu has nearly 30,000 soldiers, and more than 300,000 people support 30,000 troops, and the burden on the people can be imagined!

With Julu's economic situation at this time, it is impossible to support 30,000 troops! There are only two solutions, either to attack everywhere to feed the war, or to reduce the number of soldiers, demote most of the county soldiers to auxiliary soldiers, and let them reclaim the wasteland!

Although the method of warfare can be used to plunder wealth and get more troops very quickly, it is bound to be impossible to obtain elite soldiers, and attacking other counties and counties can only bring greater damage to the people's livelihood everywhere.

Therefore, streamlining the army is Wen Yuan's inevitable choice, of course, if there is a suitable opportunity and object, Wen Yuan is also willing to send troops to plunder, such as ...... Montenegro.

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan stood up, and the county officials saw Wen Yuan stand up, their expressions were serious, and their momentum was impressive, and they were silent one by one.

Wen Yuan cleared his throat and said loudly: "Order! From now on, the fifteen counties under the county will implement the military household tuntian system, and the details of the system will be sent to the counties by the county government officials later! ”

Before everyone had time to figure out what the military household tuntian system was, Wen Yuan's orders came down one after another.

"Order! From now on, Julu began to reform the military system, divided into two lines, regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, all of which were granted acres of land. The main battle of the main soldiers, the chaos of the Imperial Army, the accumulation of merit, the capture of rewards, the auxiliary soldiers in the agricultural time to reclaim the barren land, training in their spare time, or defending the city, or maintaining law and order in the territory, or depending on the situation to assist the regular soldiers in battle! ”

"Yes!"

"Order! From now on, under the rule of Julu, there will be no regular soldiers in the fifteen towns, and all the defenders will be demoted to auxiliary soldiers, and they will be incorporated into military households, and the old and weak will be eliminated in the main barracks, and the soldiers will be streamlined, and 10,000 elite soldiers will be retained. ”

"Yes!" The crowd saluted the order.

The new official took office, and Wen Yuan's three fires were completely burned today.
