The next day, the Taolin Army officially entered the training period.

Wake up in the morning to run and take the oath.

Queue and military posture before noon.

Afternoon strength, skill.

Literacy and study in the evening.

In this way, Wen Chou and others entered a busy rhythm!

At this time, the digging of ditches in Shahe Township was also in full swing. The entire Shahe Township, with a population of 20,000, is busy.

Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing. For example, when Wen Chou, Jiang Xuan, and Chen Ning went to invite the township sergeants to teach the soldiers to read and write, they encountered a lot of resistance. Although they are all scholars from poor families, they are not much nobler than the ordinary people of Qianshou, but scholars are scholars after all, and they all have some arrogance of scholars.

Besides, on the issue of the soldiers learning literacy, most of the soldiers are honest poor peasant families, and there are few literate ones, even if there are only a few words, and most of them are in their twenties and thirties, missing the best age for literacy learning, and it is quite difficult to learn! And the scholar is naturally quite irritable when he teaches, so there are a lot of contradictions, but fortunately, Wen Chou gives quite generous treatment, whether it is a scholar or a soldier, it is still stable, and the literacy thing is also carried out step by step. And that group of fifteen to twenty-year-old teenagers has a much stronger learning ability and higher plasticity, and these 50-odd people are also the ones Wen Chou decided to focus on cultivating, so naturally they are even more preferential.

Three months have passed in this way, and it is not long to say that it is not short, and it is not short to say that it is short.

Wen Chou was busy training soldiers, but he did not forget to continue to patrol the township every day to settle grievances for the people. Of course, for Jiang Xuan and Chen Ning, Wen Chou didn't ignore it, and let the two of them completely control thousands of stones of refined grain and hundreds of thousands of money.

After all, Wen Chou has a shallow relationship with the two of them, and he doesn't know who he is. Chen Ning's family is very poor, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the prison gate, a cheap servant, thousands of stones of grain are placed in front of him, and Wen Chou has let go of power again, will he be greedy? Jiang Xuan is relatively supported by his father's fame, but whether the Jiang family is a famous scholar or not, the family of the great sage, Wen Chou is also beating the drum in his heart. So these need to be observed. This is also one of the main reasons for the decentralization of Wen Chou, take this opportunity to observe whether they are worthy of credit.

The result of the observation was that Wen Chou was very satisfied, and he did not see any corruption in his family, and everything was handled in an orderly manner.

- Another reason why he delegated power was that he was very busy and wanted to settle grievances for the people.

Since Wen Chou led the people to the imperial court, and through the rank of rank, the position of school captain, and the diligent government for the people, coupled with the conclusion of Zhu Yong's case, his prestige in the township has surpassed that of the third old Jiang Cheng in the township, and every day ordinary people come to him to sue, but he should be the duty of "taking charge of the lawsuit". And not only those who are in a lawsuit are looking for him, but also those who should have gone to the pavilion chief for losing something. Or maybe there is a conflict between relatives, and they don't go to the patriarch or the chief to mediate, but they also come to him. Most of them are trivial things, but the people of Qianshou don't think it's a trivial matter, and besides, they come all the way, doesn't it mean that they trust him? It shows that his prestige in the township is getting higher and higher? He couldn't turn it away. In addition, he has to take care of the training of the soldiers, he is really busy with his feet on the ground!

Of course, during this period, in addition to training soldiers, leading people to dig ditches, and settling grievances for the people, several other things happened.

One is led by Wen Chou, assisted by Wang Chong, plus three or four officials, to jointly carry out the "counting of the people", "taxes, and servitude", after all, in August, the annual census "case ratio" is approaching, and Shahe Township has recently poured in a large number of displaced people, Wen Chou has to prepare in advance.

Among the things that are in charge of the rank and order, the most relevant to the vital interests of ordinary Qiantou are naturally taxation and forced labor.

The taxes of the empire mainly include land tax, calculation of taxes, mouth money, calculations, and additional taxes.

Compared with the previous dynasty, the field tax of this dynasty is not high, but it is only 30 taxes and 1, and the tax is only 55 yuan per hectare per year, which can be said to be the lowest land tax since ancient times. As the name suggests, the field tax is a tax levied according to the amount of land, so the measurement of the amount of land, the registration and other things are in the charge of the rank.

Although the tax on this dynasty is not high, the poll tax is relatively heavy, especially in recent years. For example, each household needs to pay 200 yuan a year, and adult men also have to pay 300 yuan a year to pay a 'new payment', and they are "sick and sick".

All children aged 1~14 years old, regardless of gender, have to pay 23 yuan per year's 'mouth tax'; adult poll tax is called 'arithmetic fu', 15~56 years old, regardless of gender, each person pays 120 yuan per year (government tax, to the big farmer, merchants and slaves doubled, 240 yuan per person per year. In order to encourage childbearing, women who do not marry at the age of 15~30 are divided into five classes, and each liter of the first class is levied and calculated, and one calculation is one hundred and twenty yuan; If a woman becomes pregnant, her husband is exempt from paying the allowance for one year. ）

These poll taxes are levied on the basis of a national census conducted in August each year, known as the "case ratio". This work is also in the hands of Arichi and Qiangfu.

Calculation, that is, according to the amount of assets in each household, the tax levied, the scope of calculation includes coins, land, houses, carriages, horses, grain, etc., everything in the family, everything, sometimes even clothing, shoes, clay kettles and other things are also included. Generally speaking, if there is 10,000 yuan, it is 10,000 yuan, and the tax is 120 yuan. This "calculation" is also one of the duties of Arichi and Qiangfu.

In addition, the matter of assigning conscription is also in charge of the ranks.

"Conscription" means that every man with good nationality (over the age of 17) must serve one month of unpaid labor in the place of household registration every year, and engage in civil engineering, bridge and road construction, river and canal management, and transportation of valleys and other infrastructure work. It is said that the levy is limited to 30 days, but as long as the quality of the project is not up to standard and it is necessary to rework, it is called 'do not count as requisition', that is, it is not counted in the fixed service period, and it can be seen that the levy is often more than one month in fact.

In June, July, the county issued an official document ordering the counties and townships to recommend talents for the county government.

After careful consideration, Wen Chou did not recommend Du, Liu, or even his Wen family, the children of these big families, but recommended Zhang Chi and Zhang Tengyun, the scholars under Jiang Xuanmen. His recommendation came as a surprise to most people. In the end, although Zhang Chi was not requisitioned by the county government, he was also very grateful to him, which made Wen Chou famous again.

Another thing is that Lin Shifu was punished.

The execution took place in the county and city, and dozens of people were executed at one time, with many onlookers. And the extermination of the Lin clan, which has been gradually forgotten by the county leaders with the passage of time, has been talked about again with this execution. In the eyes of the county people, the image of the ugly is different. In some he was upright and did evil to the people; Among some, he was too cruel and knew the art of killing. But no matter what, the Lin clan, a great clan in Bahu Township for nearly a hundred years, has been completely wiped out since then. Those who are killed are killed, and those who are exiled are exiled. They used the blood of their whole clan to achieve the prestige of Wenchou Weizhen County and Township.

The other is a state affair.

In August, news came from Youzhou that Taiwei Zhang Wen led 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to attack Ma Teng, Han Sui and others who rebelled in Liangzhou. Zhang Chun, the former prime minister of Zhongshan, recommended himself as a general, but Zhang Wen refused, and instead attacked Gongsun Chan as a general. Zhang Chun was not angry because he was not reused by Zhang Wen, and rebelled with Zhang Ju, the former Taishan Taishou and Wuhuan Qiu Liju and others. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun led the army to rob Jizhong, killed and protected Wuhuan Captain Gong Qichou, Youbeiping Taishou Liu Zheng, Liaodong Taishou Yangzhong and others, gathered more than 100,000 people, and plundered Youzhou and Jizhou. Zhang Ju called himself the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Chun called himself General Mitian and pacified the king. Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju are both from Yuyang County, Youzhou.

For a time, the atmosphere in Youzhou and Hebei was weird, and the strength of preparation for war was even greater.

Wen Chou also felt more urgent about the training of soldiers.
