Chapter 1147 Military Politics

Chu Huan has been in a very good mood these days, just because there has been good news one after another.

The first good news came from the Criminal Department, about the case of Gongsun Chu, it has been a final conclusion, Dongfang Xin and his gang in order to eliminate dissidents, they deliberately framed Gongsun Chu and many other officials, the truth of the case was revealed, and the treason of Gongsun Chu and others was also rehabilitated.

For Chu Huan, this is of course good news.

Speaking from the heart, it is by no means an easy thing to govern the four states of Xiguan, although Chu Huan can decide the general direction, but the specific implementation still needs some experienced officials.

Gongsun Chu and other officials, who are all old officials in Xiguan, have a very good understanding of the situation in Xiguan, and they are also familiar with the implementation of policies, just because they have been substituted for crimes before, Chu Huan is not good to directly pull this person out on an errand, and now that the Criminal Department has come down to approve the document, Chu Huan naturally made a decision immediately, and immediately issued a notice to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Gongsun Chu and others.

Gongsun Chu never thought that he would be able to come out of the cell alive one day, Chu Huan rescued them from the execution ground, and in order to prevent someone from secretly harming them, he has been settling them in the Praetorian Guard barracks, even if the two hundred Praetorian Guards were transferred and left later, Chu Huan still gave them enough safety guarantees.

The Criminal Department issued a document, and Chu Huan sent the official document to Gongsun Chu's hands, and together with the official document, there was also a governor's approval for the official reinstatement.

Dong Shizhen, the governor of Yuezhou, has died, and the governor has been vacant, Gongsun Chu was the governor of Yuezhou before, but now the official has been reinstated, but the mood is very different.

Not only Gongsun Chu, but also other officials who were implicated before were also reinstated under the stroke of the Governor, which not only made Gongsun Chu and this group of officials grateful, but also made the people of Shuoquan happy.

When Gongsun Chu served before, he was conscientious and conscientious, and his reputation in Yuezhou has always been very good, but he was imprisoned, and the people were muttering in their hearts, this time the truth was revealed, and people couldn't help but feel that Gongsun Chu could escape from death, Chu Huan made great contributions, and Chu Huan was able to continue to appoint Gongsun Chu, which also showed that Chu Huan was a good official.

The two most important affairs in Xiguan at present, one is naturally the training of soldiers and horses, although Jinhe Erzhou was pacified in a short period of time, but Chu Huan also knew the shortcomings of the Pingxi Army.

The composition of the Pingxi Army is quite complicated, and it is not obvious in peacetime, when attacking Hezhou, Chu Huan has already seen that there is a serious dispersion in the internal cooperation of the Pingxi Army, and once it encounters adversity, it is difficult for the generals to maintain a unified combat effectiveness, which is almost a fatal weakness for a legion.

After Chu Huan returned to Shuoquan, the Beishan Army withdrew from the border as soon as possible, and Xuanyuan Shengcai also rushed back to Shuoquan after deploying the soldiers and horses in Jiazhou.

Xuanyuan Shengcai is also clear about the shortcomings of the Pingxi Army, he knows that Pei Ji is very good at training, so he specially went to visit Pei Ji, so that the Pingxi Army can be fully integrated into a strong combat force as soon as possible.

According to Pei Ji's plan, the drills of the four battalions are divided into two ways, one is the drill of a single battalion, and each battalion strictly trains its own duties, while the other training method is to fix the time, let the four battalions be combined together, and train the cooperation of the four battalions.

The training of the army was handed over to Pei Ji and Xuanyuan Shengcai, but Chu Huan didn't need to spend too much thought.

In addition to training soldiers and horses, another major event in Xiguan is naturally Juntian Ce.

Although the promulgation of the Juntian Policy made many peasants who had no land to cultivate rejoice at the beginning, many people also suspected in their hearts that since ancient times, they had only heard that the gentry of the government had tried their best to exploit the land from the common people, and they had never heard that the government would divide the land among the people, so many people only thought that this was just a trick of the government, and the purpose was just to let the displaced refugees return to their hometowns and continue to be exploited by the government.

Because of suspicions, not many people returned to their hometowns from outside at the beginning, and the current form of Xiguan is that a large number of refugees have been left out, and large areas of barren fields have been left uncultivated.

When Wei Wuji presented Juntian Ce to Chu Huan, he had already explained the two conditions that Juntian Ce must have, one is a large number of barren fields, and the second is the population that can match the fields.

Chu Huan also knew that many refugees were still waiting, seeing that it was already about to enter autumn, and Juntian must also be fully implemented before spring ploughing tomorrow, once the spring ploughing time, Juntian policy has not been fully implemented, and the people have not yet gotten their own fields, then if a year is wasted, for the northwest, which is already short of food, a wasted year will inevitably kill many people due to lack of food and famine.

Time is actually not too sufficient, although Wei Wuji led people to measure the fields day and night, and counted the population, but the progress was not fast, and when Gongsun Chu came out, he understood the specific affairs of Juntian Ce, and even if he proposed to Chu Huan, he did not need to wait until all the fields were completely tested before dividing the fields, and he could first start implementing Juntian in several villages and towns near Shuoquan, the purpose was to make it clear to all the people that what the government said about Juntian Policy was not a bluff.

To this end, Gongsun Chu personally selected several villages and towns, personally counted the local population and the number of acres of land, and then took the lead in issuing fields to the people of these villages and towns in accordance with the content of Wei Wuji's policy of equalizing fields.

The land deed is very clear that the ownership of the land allocated by the people will still be in the hands of the government within 15 years, and if there are no special circumstances during this period, but the field is abandoned and left to be barren, then the government has the right to take back the land at any time, but as long as the land can be cultivated for 15 years, then the ownership of the land will automatically belong to the people.

It is even more clear that after the people obtain the ownership of the land, then the land can be passed down from generation to generation, and no one has the right to take the land, but it is also very clear that it is forbidden to exchange and buy private land, and only allow the era to cultivate, once the private land is bought and sold, the government can not only take back the land, but also whether it is a buyer or a seller, they must bear the responsibility.

In fact, many people can also understand that the main purpose of the Juntian policy is to nail the common people to the fields, so that they can live in a down-to-earth manner on the land for generations, and cannot buy or sell private land, which in fact cannot be called complete privatization.

However, for the people, to have a piece of their own field to cultivate, sunrise and sunset and rest, that is already a great life, this is the life that the people yearn for, for farmers, the land is a treasure, few people will want to sell the land they rely on for a living, the content of the Juntian order, is enough to make them excited.

Almost at the same time that several villages and towns were allocated land, the second order of the government had been issued, which was a supplement to Wei Wuji's policy of equalizing the fields.

Prior to this, many gentry families could avoid forced labor, as Wei Wuji once said, after the Qin state, a series of policies were issued, and many gentry and wealthy families had the privilege of being exempted from taxes, and these families enjoyed the greatest resources, not only exempt from taxes, but also did not even have to bear the burden of forced labor, but the common people who paid extremely heavy taxes had borne heavy forced labor.

In the reconstruction of Xiguan, the conscription in the past few years is naturally indispensable, and the people must bear a large amount of conscription to build embankments and roads, dig ditches and ditches.

For this reason, Wei Wuji in addition to the Juntian policy, specially put forward the strategy of stalling into the household, the strategy of mutual adjustment, the whole Xiguan, whether it is the ordinary poor people or the gentry and rich families, will bear the same servitude, without discrimination, but on this basis, put forward the means of mutual adjustment, those gentry and wealthy families if they can't wipe off their face, unwilling to participate in the same labor as the ordinary people, but can use taxes to offset their own servitude, the same way, if the poor people want to improve their family life, However, in addition to the forced labor that they should bear, they can increase the paid forced labor.

After these decrees were promulgated, the people cheered, and the refugees who were displaced outside knew that someone had already shared the land, and then did not hesitate, and returned to their homeland one after another, but in a short time, a large number of Xiguan refugees dragged their families and returned to their hometowns, this was a huge migration, Xuanyuan Shengcai mobilized soldiers and horses, guarded various checkpoints, and checked strictly.

For Chu Huan, this is of course good news, he even got the news at one point, some bandits who fell into the grass for the grass, knowing that after these decrees were promulgated, they actually discarded their weapons and registered with the household department, just as Wei Wuji expected at the beginning, many bandits who fell into the grass were forced to helpless the common people who really couldn't survive, and now that the government has implemented a new policy, these people want to have fields to plant, and where do they want to live the days of licking blood on the knife.

Chu Huan's original intention in implementing the Juntian policy was to restore Xiguan's vitality, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and those bandits could abandon and serve the people, of course, Chu Huanyi saw it.

Xiguan's Juntian reform, the wind and fire, the people are jubilant, but after all, this matter is to hurt the interests of the Xiguan gentry, Chu Huan knows that the Xiguan gentry is headed by the seven surnames of Xiguan, and they have to have more contact with the seven surnames of Xiguan, but the old lady Su can see that if Xiguan has been a pool of stagnant water, it will be difficult for the seven surnames of Xiguan to recover their former glory after all, only when the entire Xiguan is prosperous, the Xiguan gentry can restore the glory of the past, although the gentry are somewhat dissatisfied with the policies implemented by Chu Huan, Fortunately, Chu Huan's implementation of the Juntian policy this time was mainly to collect the barren land and the ownerless land to be owned by the government, although it also dealt a certain blow to the tenants and the seven surnames of Xiguan, but the gentry also knew very well in their hearts that the purpose of Chu Huan's implementation of the new policy was not to deal with the local gentry, but to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people of Xiguan for farming.

When the refugees from Xiguan returned to their hometowns, many of the farming tools transferred from Beishan were also continuous, and what made Chu Huan even happier was that a large number of farming tools were also transported from Xishan Road and Anyi Road in the Guannei.

Xiguan implemented the new policy of Juntian, such news has naturally spread to the Guannei, Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Xishan, and Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi, both have some connections with Chu Huan, and they can't help it, but they are also full of affection when they transport some farming tools to support.
