Half a month after marrying Zhen Jiang, Guo Jia held a simple wedding to marry Cai Yan, and officially connected the mother and son to the general's mansion.

This winter was simply worse for the Yizhou scholars, when the Taiping generals led the army to escort the new officials to take office, it was equivalent to cutting off the foundation of the scholars, and the previous Xu He rebellion had already caused the Yizhou scholars to suffer heavy losses.

There are indeed those who are unwilling to incite the wang clan to rebel with the people, but it is not a climate, Guo Jia has already been prepared, and the armies from all walks of life in Yizhou have taken the initiative and acted quickly to extinguish the rebellion.

Repeatedly attacking the Yizhou Shi clan, together with the bad luck of the Wang clan and the wealthy family, Guo Jia actually has other intentions, he wants to stabilize the situation before the arrival of spring and end the chaos, and those who want to make chaos had better jump out before the winter passes, so that he can catch them all.

The first thing for the newly appointed officials is to resettle the displaced people to survive the harsh winter, and then they will start to put things in order, and even under the instruction of Guo Jia, there is a faint tendency to attack the wealthy clans.

But Guo Jia will not make trouble without nothing, some landlords are innocent, their sources of income are legitimate, and their own land is also obtained from normal trading, Guo Jia can't be wronged by good people, he doesn't plan to carry out land reform, the key is whether the way to annex land is a legal means, follow Xu He to make trouble, plus the new official after taking office, the wealthy family who made a rebellion, has been in a difficult situation by Guo Jia, many family properties have been confiscated, and countless land has been confiscated.

Seeing that spring is coming, the purge in Yizhou has gradually come to an end, in more than a month, there are more than 40 thieves in the whole territory, but they have been suppressed by Guo Jia with cruel means, if you want to say who is the biggest rich landlord in Yizhou now, it is undoubtedly Guo Jia.

Subverting the power of the scholars, curbing the rise of the gate valves, and suppressing the powerful bullies, Guo Jia has gained a lot, he has countless fertile land, and he has confiscated cattle and farm tools, but the only thing he lacks is labor.

Therefore, he needed to implement tuntian, encourage production, and accumulate grain and grass for future wars, and tuntian was also a policy to benefit the people and reassure the people.

In the council hall, Guo Jia paced back and forth in the hall, listening to the opinions of the strategists with a calm face.

When Guo Jia threw out the Tuntian system, Qin Mi immediately came out and said: "The lord has this method, and he can count it in one fell swoop." The military and civilian tuns can store grain extensively, and they can also fight without abandoning ploughing, and ploughing without abandoning defense. If a soldier has no family, he is not solid, and if he has a family, he is burdened by the army, so he can settle his family, go out to fight, and return to rest. The soldiers of the army are engaged in farming, and they are happy to be close to the people, and the hearts of the remnants of the people are resting. The people of the outer lands are willing to be used by their lords. The border tuntian, the soldiers and the people plough together, the enemy territory is unpredictable, the defenders are outnumbered, and it is said that the rear can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended, and the soldiers will not be scattered in a collapse. Therefore, it is not only feasible for the lord to implement tuntian, but also imperative. ”

Most of the generals are ignorant, but they also understand that most of the soldiers are to support their families and expect food and salary to be unrealistic.

The strategists nodded frequently, Qin Mi was reasonable, and they all seconded it.

Walking up to Zhang Song, Guo Jia asked lightly: "When will the household registration of each county be reported?" ”

For Zhang Song, who has the ability to never forget his skills, Guo Jia doesn't care how resourceful he is, in terms of internal affairs, he should get twice the result with half the effort compared to others.

Zhang Song, who was slightly ugly, replied calmly: "Five counties have submitted their household registrations, and the rest of the counties, at the latest, should be half a month later." ”

Guo Jia wants to suppress the local tyrants, the most fundamental reason is not that they loot the people's fat and people's ointment, but that they hold most of the land and private farmers, and the new officials take office, one of the important tasks is to count the household registration, dare to hide the farmers privately, severely punish them, to say a joke, if Guo Jia surrenders to a certain tyrant one day, it is to hand over the Yizhou household registration book together to show the people's submission, so it is very important to recount the population.

What to fight for? Fight the generals? Liu Bei has been bumpy for half his life, isn't the combination of his subordinates Guan Zhang Zhao enough to sweep the world? Strategist? Yuan Shao, who is as fierce as a cloud and has a conspiracy like rain, should have ruled the world a long time ago. How many troops are fighting? The size of the army depends on the population base, and the combat strength of the army depends on the quality of equipment, the combination of troops, the strength of soldiers, and so on.

If Yizhou had only a million people, Guo Jia would not have had an army of 100,000, because it was a fantasy for nine people to raise a soldier, not counting the old, weak, sick and disabled people.

The local tyrants and bullies privately hid farmers, and the beneficiaries were private individuals, not Guo Jia, so Guo Jia wanted to recount the population, on the one hand, to rescue the oppressed people, and on the other hand, to reduce the losses of the public.

"What was the original land tax in Yizhou? And how many are the other states? ”

Guo Jia asked Zhang Song another question.

Zhang Song replied without hesitation: "The government decrees in Yizhou are different, and when Liu Yan was in office, the lowest land tax was six out of ten, and the highest was eight out of ten, and the same was true in other states. ”

Coupled with local exploitation, the burden on the shoulders of the people is unimaginably heavy, and they can only get one or two percent of their income in a year of hard work, and only three or four percent of their luck is good, which is indeed difficult to face with a relaxed mood.

"The tuntian system will draw up a perfect policy as soon as possible, issue it to the counties, recruit the people to carry out the tuntian, those who have cattle and farm tools, the officials and farmers have seven, and those who do not have cattle and farm tools will be provided by the government, and the tax will be one percent higher. At the same time, notices will be posted in various places that taxes will never be raised, and in case of natural disasters, they will be reduced or exempted as appropriate. ”

This is Guo Jia's policy to benefit the people, to win the hearts of the people, not to shout in front of the people, practical interests are fundamental, so that they will always remember Guo Jia's kindness to them.

If they have their own farm tools, whether it is the government's field or their own field, they only need to hand over 30% of their annual labor, which is many times better than the oppression and exploitation they were subjected to in the past, and in this way, they can also mobilize their positive surname.

The displaced people who have been affected by the war and have left their homes will also settle down in Yizhou, and over time, the population of Yizhou will gradually increase, and it is also the only way to become strong.

As for the situation that the field is not enough to cultivate in the future, then Guo Jia will also introduce an incentive policy to reclaim new fields.

Guo Jia, who was standing by the door with his back to everyone, continued: "In addition, notices are posted in various places to recruit skilled craftsmen, and all the elders with a skill can apply for service, improve bows, crossbows, farm tools, etc., create more powerful weapons, and build equipment that is conducive to farming. ”

Guo Jia thinks that he is shallow in his knowledge, and others may not be all-encompassing, and in some fields, it is more appropriate to leave it to professionals to study, he only needs to play a leading role in the general direction.

Shinong industry and commerce, the first two have already had countermeasures, industry and commerce should not be too hasty, the road to go step by step, the people to food for the day, the country to agriculture-oriented, first lay a good foundation and then seek more development, want to speed is not reached, want all aspects are in place in one step, I am afraid that in the end will only be a bamboo basket to draw water.

Guo Jia, who sat back on the main seat, had a relaxed expression and asked with a smile: "Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, what have you been doing lately?" ”

Tang Chinese Wu looked at each other, and he didn't know why the lord suddenly cared about these two people.

"Yuan Shao plotted to seize Han Fu's Jizhou, Yuan Shu still stationed troops in Nanyang, and his subordinate Sun Jian's troops had occasional confrontations with Li Dao and Guo Yan around Luoyang, but there was no big war."

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he walked back to his original position.

Guo Jia lost his mind for a moment, and then said: "Li Dao Guo Yan should be plundering the Sizhou region and send troops, Sun Jian wants to fight, and there will not be many soldiers and horses, Yuan Shu must be anxious in Nanyang, and he can't wait for Sun Jian to return to his command immediately." Qin Mi. ”

Qin Mi came out to listen to Guo Jia's orders.

"Help me write two secret letters to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the tone of the letter should be humble, the first letter to Yuan Shao, just say that if today's son is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, like a puppet, the world can not be without an owner, if he Yuan Shao can elect a new son of heaven, I will definitely support in Yizhou, he said that if Yuan Shao can unify Shandong, when he goes south, I will definitely belong to him. The second letter to Yuan Shu, the letter first to clarify that I have forgotten the old grudge with him in Luoyang, to say that the grudge is just a private matter, such as today's chaos, public affairs first, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is the son-in-law, tell him that I support him in Yizhou to carry the banner of the Yuan family, as long as he captures Jingzhou, I will definitely serve him, by the way to help him unify the south, at that time, wave the army to the north, clarify the Yunei. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking with a smile, the ministers all showed a knowing smile, while among the generals, Xu Chudianwei had a somewhat gloomy face.

Immediately, Xu Chu came out of the column and hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I won't give my life to others, why should my lord serve others?" Are you still afraid that they will not succeed? ”

Guo Jia laughed, got up and waved his hand and walked towards the inner hall.

Xu Chu, who didn't get Guo Jia's reply, was confused, and after Guo Jia left, he and Dian Wei glanced at each other, and saw that the strategists were leaving with a smile on their faces, and the two of them blocked Xi Zhicai outside the door one left and one right, and wanted to ask clearly.

"Strategist, what do you mean by the lord? Could it be that Yuan Shu defeated Jingzhou, and we followed to serve that guy? Dian Wei also touched his bright head at this time, looking bored.

They have a mortal enmity with the Yuan family!

Xi Zhicai sighed helplessly and said, "Zhong Kang, evil comes, these two secret letters from the lord are digging graves for the two brothers of the Yuan family, do you believe that the lord guild will serve others?" ”

The two shook their heads in unison, and Xi Zhicai asked rhetorically, "Then what are you still anxious about?" ”

Xu Chu pursed his lips and said: "The lord's words are not clear, they are all false, hey, I will not worry about these things in the future, you all know in your hearts, so I am in a hurry with evil." ”

Xi Zhicai, who shook his head and said nothing, looked at the backs of Xu Chu and Dian Wei leaving, sighed a little innocently, and then thought of the two secret letters that Guo Jia asked Qin Mi to write, and showed a playful smile.

Yuan Shao, do you dare to risk the world's condemnation and set up a new emperor?

Yuan Shu, will you be stupid enough to really fight Liu Biao?
