Wanli inspected Su's Industrial Park and gave Su Hao a marriage, and the news quickly spread to Huai'an Mansion. For Wanli to give Lu Xiuer and Han Qian two girls to Su Hao as his wife at the same time, Han Wen felt more honored than stunned. It is a very glorious thing that his daughter's marriage can be written into the holy decree. As for things like monogamy, the emperor doesn't care, so why should Han Wen care?

Han Wen was initially optimistic about Su Hao, just because he could dig wells and knew some knowledge of the Franc machine. His daughter fell in love with Su Hao, and he also acquiesced with a psychology that was inconvenient to interfere. Who would have thought that this Su Hao would be so powerful, first he was favored by the Ministry of War and transferred to Banzhou to make a great contribution, and then he was favored by the emperor and the second assistant of the cabinet, Wang Xijue, and was given the title of the head of the sixth grade and sent to Huai'an to govern the river.

was worried that it would be difficult for Su Hao to make achievements in river control, but he suddenly fought a battle with the Japanese Invaders, creating a rebellious record of annihilating more than 100 Japanese Invaders and destroying the nests of the Wolves. This battle caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and the gossip from the capital said that Wanli was brewing a more prominent official position for Su Hao. In contrast, a wedding gift is just an appetizer.

In the past, Han Wen would definitely not tolerate putting Han Qian and Lu Xiuer in a parallel position, but now the situation is different, the holy decree is clearly written, Lu Xiu'er's status is "royal sister", Han Qian is just the daughter of an official eunuch, and it is impossible to say who is higher than whom.

"Virtuous son-in-law, this holy grace to you is really higher than the sky and heavier than the mountain." Han Wen was full of envy in the back hall of the government office, and said to Su Hao, who came to visit. Now that the emperor has made a holy decree to give marriage, this marriage will be completed, and Hanwen's title for Su Hao will become a virtuous son-in-law.

Su Hao looked embarrassed, and said, "Well, Fuzun...... Ah no, father-in-law, son-in-law doesn't know why the saint issued such a document, this way of being a husband and two wives, I'm afraid it will cause people to gossip. ”

"There is a holy purpose for this, who dares to gossip?" Han Wen said solemnly, "You have a marriage contract with Xiu'er in advance, so you should marry Xiu'er as your wife, this is a matter of course." And you and Qian'er are in love, but the daughter of this official eunuch is not suitable for being a concubine, so this marriage has always been very difficult, and the old man has always regretted it. Now, with such a decree, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

"yes, yes, the best of both worlds." Su Hao echoed. As a modern person, he is quite disdainful of the distinction between wives and concubines, and Han Wenfei insisted on letting him marry Han Qian and Lu Xiuer as his concubine, which also made him angry. Wanli played such a hand, but he was relieved of his siege, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you and Qian'er are not young, since the saint has given marriage, you should choose an auspicious day to get married." Han said.

Su Hao said: "There are still many things to be dealt with by the son-in-law nowadays, and it is better to let go of this child's private matter." In fact, the age of the son-in-law and Qian'er is not too old, and it is not too late to delay it for a year. ”

"Young people should put national affairs first, and they should do it, and the old man agreed." Han Wen knew that Su Hao was a person with ideas, and it was difficult for others to say good things, so he didn't insist and agreed to Su Hao's arrangement.

After talking about private matters, the two of them began to get to the point, Su Hao said: "Father-in-law, since our army thwarted the provocation of bandits and widows, the powerful landlords in Huai'an Mansion are all panicked, and no one dares to confront the government like Zeng Fengxian. According to what the son-in-law's subordinates learned, even the officials in the lower states and counties have restrained a lot. The son-in-law thought that this was the time when the father-in-law launched a new policy in a big way, and I don't know what the father-in-law considered. ”

Han Wen asked rhetorically, "What do you suggest for changing it?" ”

Su Hao said: "For a long time, the powerful landlords under the rule of Huai'an Mansion have forcibly seized ordinary farmers, and the phenomenon of land annexation is extremely serious. The peasants have a heavy tax burden and no savings at home, so they have no ability to save themselves in the event of a natural disaster. The son-in-law thought that we should take advantage of this opportunity to carry out large-scale land clearance, confiscate the fields concealed by the powerful landlords as official land, and then lease them to the landless peasants for cultivation at very low rents, so as to achieve the purpose of recuperation.

Now that there are a large number of displaced people in and around Huai'an, we should distribute the land to them before the arrival of spring, so as not to delay spring ploughing. As long as the summer grain is harvested, the predicament of Huai'an Mansion will disappear. ”

"You mean, like confiscating the land of Zeng Fengxian's family, confiscating the land of other powerful people?" Han Wen asked meaningfully.

Su Hao shook his head and said: "Zeng Fengxian's situation is different from others, he is colluding with bandits and robbers to fight against the government, and he should be dealt with as a crime of treason." Now it is already an extrajudicial favor to confiscate his family's land without confiscating his family as official slaves. Other powerful landlords do not have such bad deeds, and with the intention of a son-in-law, a slight punishment can be given, and the harm cannot be too deep. After all, I still need to rely on these heroes to support me tomorrow. ”

"Change what you say, it's the old man's meaning." Han Wen said with satisfaction.

Replaced by another young man, who had just had a serious conflict with a powerful landlord like Zeng Fengxian, and had achieved an absolute victory, the next step would definitely be to take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the powerful landlords under the rule of Huai'an Mansion, and confiscate all their land from the officials.

If the Haoqiang of Huai'an Mansion are to be strictly investigated, there is no household that does not have the situation of concealing acres of land, and it is enough to beat every landlord's ass into minced meat according to law. But Su Hao understands that the existence of powerful landlords has both hateful and positive sides. In an era when the level of social productive forces was not high, the existence of the landlord class was the basis for the development of productive forces.

In ancient times, the construction of Pitang canals, the innovation of agricultural tools, the establishment of private schools, the storage of grain and other things were all done by the landlords, and ordinary peasant households did not have the strength to do these things. If all the landlords in a region were eliminated, the local productivity would definitely regress, and this was not a wise choice.

Of course, if Su Hao has the ability to engage in cooperation and run a people's commune after eliminating the landlords, it will be another matter. However, Su Hao's head had not been kicked by a donkey, and he didn't even dare to think about such a thing as cooperation in the Ming Dynasty.

Weng and his son-in-law reached a consensus on the issue of dealing with the landlord, and the rest of the matter was simple. The two of them carefully analyzed the situation in the entire Huai'an Prefecture and decided to carry out the work of clearing the land of the entire prefecture from now on, and to clarify the area of land for each household. As long as the family has concealed the acres of land, as long as they voluntarily pay a certain amount of taxes, they will be exempted from prosecution. Those who cannot pay the taxes can also repay the surplus land at home, which will be confiscated as official land and rented to farmers for cultivation.

Roughly calculated, the taxes paid by these powerful people will be as high as 100,000 taels of silver, and the confiscated land should be tens of thousands of acres. With this silver and land, Hangeul will have no pressure to solve the current problem of displaced people in Huai'an Province. In the previous months, Han Wen felt that he was at a loss and could not do anything he wanted to do. Now the situation is different, with money and land in hand, Haoqiang and state and county officials are silent, it is really a good time to show his talents.

"If these things can be done, this government can be regarded as doing a good thing for the people of Limin, and it is not in vain that the court appointed the old man as the prefect." Han Wen said with some pride.

"If this matter can be done according to our ideas, Huai'an Mansion will have a new look, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, which can be described as the peace and security of the country. By the time the officials come down and pass the exam, my father-in-law's political achievements must be the top in my Ming Dynasty. Su Hao complimented.

Han Wen smiled: "It's all your credit." Without you leading your troops to quell the bandits and robbers, there would be no situation today. The old man just sat back and enjoyed the results. ”

Su Hao said: "My father-in-law is serious, this is what a son-in-law should do." ”

Han Wen said: "Change, these things you do, the old man will remember in his heart." The court sent the old man to Huai'an, in fact, the main thing was to help you do things, but unexpectedly, it turned around and became a big favor for you to help the old man. In the next step, the matter of governing the river, if there is anything that needs the cooperation of the Huai'an Mansion, it is okay to change it, as long as the government can do it, there is no other thing. ”

Su Hao said: "The matter of governing the river is already a bit eyebrow-raising now. The plan to allow the Huai River to cross the Yellow River into the sea has already been approved by Governor Pan, and the project will start on the same day and be completed before the Yellow River freezes. After the completion of the Yellow River project, the Huaihe River will pass under the Yellow River and enter the sea through Huai'an Prefecture, so it is necessary to dig a passage into the sea, which needs to be completed by gathering the strength of the whole Huai'an Prefecture. ”

"It's not that hard." Han Wen said, "As long as you draw the line out, the government will recruit and transfer servants in the whole government to ensure that this passage into the sea will be dug out before the peach blossom water next year." ”

"There are not a few things that need to be spent on this matter, and the amount of money that can be allocated on the river is very limited, so some expenses may need to be borne by the Huai'an government." Su Hao said.

Han Wendao: "This time, there are a lot of official fields expropriated from Qingzhang fields, and the government can make the decision to replace the farmland occupied by the construction of canals with these official fields." As for the silver taels, don't worry about changing them, the government has its own way to solve it. ”

Han Wen said that there is a way to solve it, but in fact, what is used is nothing more than the supplementary tax collected from the powerful landlords, the money was originally earned by Su Hao, and now it is used for Su Hao's career. The construction of water conservancy has always been the top priority of local governments, and if Han Wen can complete the construction of such a large-scale water conservancy project during his tenure, it can be regarded as a great political achievement.

"That's great." Su Hao said, "Once this channel is completed, it can provide irrigation for millions of acres of fields in Huai'an Province during drought, and can play a role in flood discharge and drainage during floods. The money and food paid now will be able to be recovered in a few years. ”

"We'll see." Han Wen said confidently.
