Ma Chao suddenly said: "Then He Jin is a butcher in Nanyang, he is an unkind and unrighteous person, although he is in charge of the government at this moment, it is only a flash in the pan, and it will never last long!" General Wu is from the Chen Liuwang clan, how can he be condescended to a butcher! Why don't you just go to Ben? This general is in Merge Prefecture and Jizhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, and talents like General Wu are needed to lead the troops! If the general is willing to come, he will reuse it! You are a partial general, in charge of the army! ”

Wu Kuang shook his head and said: "Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, even if the general is not in every way, but the last general is quite favorable, as long as the general is still there, the last general will never betray him!" Champion Hou is to kill the general, and so is it! ”

Ma Chao was in awe and praised: "What a Chen Liuwu Kuang!" is brave and loyal, but he will lose his word! Even so, Ben will not ask you to blame, you still go back to serve under He Jin, and how about returning to join after He Jin falls? Ben will still be reused! Never break your promise! ”

Wu Kuang pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Thank you for the general's love, but how to deal with the matter in front of you?" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "This matter is easy to do, General Wu can find a woman to replace the empress dowager, send it to the river to kill the dove, and then hand it over to the local Taishou for burial, and then go back to restore his life." The real Empress Dowager will be placed by this general, and she will not leak the slightest rumor, you know this, God knows, if your dozens of subordinates can't believe it, this will give you a new batch! ”

Wu Kuang thought for a while and said, "That's not necessary! After arriving in Makino, he will bring two henchmen to find a woman to secretly drop the bag, and the less people know about this matter, the better. In addition, thank you for the grace of the champion Hou Bu Kill! When the general returns to Luoyang, he will send someone to send the dog to Yecheng, and he will trouble the general to train him! ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed, Wu Kuang's move was obviously like-minded, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "General Wu rest assured, this general has always been true to his word, and he will treat him with sincerity!" ”

Walking all the way to Makino, Ma Chao has entered his sphere of influence. After more than half a year of fierce battles, Huang Zhong and Wang Shuang and others finally exterminated the Black Mountain thieves of Yu Poison and Bai Huan, and the two thieves also died in the chaos. So far, except for Zhang Yan in Jizhou, there is no large group of thieves to rob the people, and the Black Mountain thieves have disappeared five years earlier than the original history.

Ma Chao originally wanted to send Huang Zhong to lead 5,000 cavalry to Nanyang for a long distance to arrest He Jin's father He Zhen, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that this matter would affect the historical process, and if He Jin was bent on dealing with himself and did not summon Dong Zhuo to Beijing, the gain would outweigh the loss. Since the plan to set up another new monarch has failed, what needs to be done now should not affect the course of history, so that He Jin can focus all his attention on fighting with the eunuchs. If the development is carried out according to the historical trajectory, Dong Zhuo will be in Luoyang within two or three months.

does not mention that Wu Kuang's tanuki changed the prince to Hejian County, but said that Ma Chao rushed to Yecheng to take office, and Fu Zhi and Pan Feng and other civil and military officials greeted each other out of the city gate. Ma Chao's reputation was extremely high, and when he pacified the Montenegrin thieves in Jizhou, he had bought the hearts of the people of Jizhou.

That night, there was a banquet in the house, and he hugged his fists and said: "The champion Hou is looking forward to returning, and finally the post of Jizhou assassin is in the bag, and there is the champion Hou to govern Jizhou, which is really a blessing for the people of Jizhou!" I am willing to serve the Lord! ”

"I am willing to serve the Lord!" A number of civil and military officials below have expressed their positions.

Ma Chao is happy, where Jizhou can produce talents, there are seven or eight people who have left their names in history. For example, the civil officials Geng Wu, Min Chun (Guan Chun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), and Li Li are all quite accomplished people. In history, the three tried their best to persuade Han Fu not to let out of Jizhou, but Han Fu relied on the Yuan family to get in, and he was afraid of Yuan Shao in his bones, and he was a wreck. In terms of military generals, there are also military Sima Pan Feng, Wu Meng engaged in Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian.

After thinking about it, he hugged his fists and said: "Although there are tens of thousands of troops in Chao's hands, but they don't know anything about the internal affairs of Jizhou. ”

Frustrated: "The lord has pacified the black mountain thieves in Jizhou for half a year, eradicated the local bullies, and relieved the plundered people, all kinds of deeds have won the hearts of the people. It's just that I don't know how the lord plans to govern Jizhou? ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "It was supposed to be the history of Jizhou, not the pastor of Jizhou, only the right to supervise, but not the right to govern internal affairs, and this matter will need to wait for several months." Now that Jizhou is initially stable, there is no large number of thieves robbing the people in the territory, everything can be done step by step, and it is not too late to discuss this matter after the general takes the post of pastor of Jizhou! ”

Frustrated and said: "If there is chaos today, which of the state assassins does not hold the power of a state's military and political affairs, although it is the history of the assassins, there is no doubt about the state pastor, the lord has 50,000 soldiers in Jizhou, there are still more than 10,000 county soldiers under Pan Sima, Zhao Zhi and Cheng Cheng also have more than 10,000 naval troops in their hands, and there are hundreds of warships on the Yellow River, so the military strength is enough to completely control Jizhou, why fight for a title?" ”

Ma Chao said: "The law of the imperial court cannot be abolished!" This will be a big man, but you have to lead by example, you don't have to persuade again! In addition, Jizhou has been in turmoil for a long time by black mountain thieves, and it was a place where yellow turbans were raging, and the vitality was damaged. ”

Everyone was overjoyed and said in frustration: "The lord loves the people like a son, and he thanked the lord on behalf of the people of Jizhou!" After speaking, he bowed down and bowed, and Geng Wu, Min Chun, Li Li, Zhao Fu and others also bowed.

"Everyone, please get up!" Ma Chao helped up the frustration, and then said: "The people are the foundation of the country, only by letting the people eat and clothe themselves can the country truly prosper, blindly exploiting and squeezing the people is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, drinking water to quench thirst." This year, spring ploughing has already begun, and the land should not be changed, but starting next year, the 'three-point grain' system and the collective tuntian system will be implemented in the two prefectures of Hebei and Hebei, and as long as the two prefectures will be located, no one will be allowed to starve to death or freeze to death! ”

Frustrated and said: "The three-point grain system is implemented in Shuofang and Jiuyuan, and the collective tuntian system is popular in Jinyang, Shangjun and Hexi, but the lord is in the state but implements a high-pressure policy on the family and the strong, although it has been changed now, but there are still many differences with the three-point grain system, it is not that the lord intends to govern it separately!" ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Definitely! Jizhou is full of powerful families, if you blindly suppress it, you may change! It was decided to transform the powerful families of the two places and implement a unified decree. ”

"How? Please speak up! "The most concerned thing about Ma Chao is how Ma Chao treats the Haoqiang family.

Ma Chao got up and said: "The family has both land and domestic slaves, resulting in a large number of people having no land to cultivate, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Black Mountain Thieves Rebellion came from this. This will be next year in Jizhou and the state of the implementation of two sets of policies for the Haoqiang family, can choose one of the two, the first is the personal business model, is the high-pressure policy of the state, where the gathering of people to settle the field, the implementation of the three-point grain system below 200 acres, more than 200 acres and less than 500 acres per mu of seven rice, between 500 acres and 1,000 acres of eight rice per mu, more than 1,000 acres per mu of ten hundred, if you can't pay taxes, according to the proportion of the resumption of land. ”

After a pause, he said: "If you don't want to run it personally, you can also cooperate with the government to run it, hand over the land, liberate the house slaves, and the government will divide the land equally among these house slaves and landless displaced people." Then the three-point grain system will be uniformly implemented, and the income will be divided with the government, and the government will be seventy percent! In such a drought and flood to ensure the harvest, you can enjoy wealth forever! ”

Both policies are to suppress the powerful family, and if possible, no one wants to make a choice. It can be seen from the two decrees that the more land annexed the family, the greater the suppression, but the small landlords, the small family is slightly more lenient, those domestic slaves are tens of thousands, and the big family with tens of thousands of tuntian is definitely not cost-effective, so they can only hand over most of the land and choose to cooperate with the government.

The frustrated family is also a local big family, and the frustration soon saw the pros and cons of the two decrees, those who have more than 1,000 acres of land can only have a way to live if they cooperate with the government, otherwise they will have to accompany the old man in a disaster year, and use the land to top the grain, and it will be over after a few disaster years. Even if there is no disaster year, the oil and water are not big, it is better to cooperate with the government to sit and wait for rent collection, in a good year, one acre of land can produce grain twenty to twenty-five hundreds, three points on six to eight hundreds, and then three points is two to two and a half hundreds, nothing has to worry about anything, it is still very cost-effective to sit and collect two hundredths of grain per mu, and the maximum income in the disaster year is reduced, no need to lose money.

"The lord's plan is really clever! At the same time, the weakening of the family also continued to live, and at the same time, it also greatly stimulated the active surname of the people, and the house slaves will only work harder to cultivate the fields after becoming the common people, and they dare to guarantee that the taxes collected next year will be only a lot more than this year! Doubling is not impossible! ”

Ma Chao said: "It is still quite difficult to implement this matter, and the internal affairs of Jizhou still need to be frustrated and bothered, in addition, Li Li is engaged in Zhizhong, Geng Wu is engaged in Gongcao, Min Chun is engaged in Bo Cao, Pan Feng is appointed as General Sima Lingpi of other departments, Zhao Fu is leading the cavalry, Cheng Jian is leading Sima, and the rest are still in their original positions, and the monthly salary is paid in full, doubling that month!" ”

"Thank you, Lord!"

Ma Chao said again: "No need to be polite, there is still an important task entrusted to you to do, whether Jizhou can develop steadily, whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment, all of you here!" ”

Li Li said: "General, please speak!" ”

Ma Chao said: "I want to carry out a big purge of officials in various counties and counties in Jizhou, and all those who become officials because of buying officials will be dismissed, and they must be strictly investigated. Those who do not buy official positions but become officials should also be investigated, go to the local area to listen to public opinion, inspect their political achievements, and if they are not suitable for the same dismissal, their successors will be nominated by the local people, and it is necessary to elect honest and honest officials who are diligent and love the people! As for the pressure on the imperial court, I will bear it by myself! ”

There are countless corrupt officials in Jizhou, many officials are local heroes who have bought officials through relationships, these people will naturally not lose money when they buy officials at high prices, and after taking office, they began to oppress the people and annex the land, there are more and more displaced people, and the people are becoming more and more miserable, and they have no way to live but to be a yellow turban thief and a black mountain thief!

Hearing this, he was excited, and hugged his fists and said: "The lord's move is very good, but before that, he wants to introduce a great talent to the lord, with the help of this person, the lord will definitely be able to add wings to the tiger?" ”

Ma Chao was overjoyed in his heart, he was already a talented person, and the person who could make him so admired must be Tian Feng's first-class figure, and asked with great interest at the moment: "Gong and quickly, in addition to Yuan Hao and Wei County, who else is worthy of your admiration in this Jizhou?" ”

Frustrated and didn't answer, he clapped his hands and said, "Brother Zhengnan won't be out at this time, when will he stay?" As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged scribe flashed from behind the screen, with a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, looking at Ma Chao with a smile. (To be continued.) )
