Chapter 247: The Standard of a Concubine
Sun Qian stayed in Hanoi for two days, and after getting Yuan Mai's promise to agree to an alliance, he happily took his entourage and rushed to Yecheng to meet Yuan Shao with the Mazha sent by Yuan Mai, and Yuan Mai ordered Zhuge Jin to send him out of Huai County as a sign of respect.
In the past few days, the people of the Zhang family honestly paid 87,800 stone of grain according to Yuan Mai's requirements, and only then did they redeem the clansmen and family members who were detained in the prison.
Eighty-seven thousand stone of grain, which is really a lot. But the Zhang family is the largest scholar clan in Hanoi, and the land in Huai County alone has more than 3,000 acres. This makes the Zhang family's land in Hanoi reach more than 4,000 acres, and they can harvest more than 50,000 stones in a year.
There are more than 80 independent families in the Zhang clan, each old and young, about 20 wives and concubines and children, a total of more than 1,600 people in the Guang clan, plus more than 800 family members and maidservants, the population of the Zhang clan is about 2,500 people.
Every year, about 25,000 koku of grain is consumed, and about 30,000 koku of surplus grain remains. This time, nearly 900 people were arrested by the government, and basically seven or eight family members from each household were arrested.
Although the Zhang family's fields were not cultivated separately, the harvested grain was distributed among the families according to the population, so each family had a grain stock of 1,000 children and 800 stones.
The patriarch Zhang Li was beaten unconscious, and every family was anxious, so they had to sweep the snow in front of their own doors.
In addition to the family, the householders and handmaidens were redeemed. These subordinates basically signed a deed of sale with the Zhang family, the Zhang family only needs to take care of the food and does not need to pay for the work, how can a big living person not be worth a hundred stone of grain?
Therefore, it only took two days for the clansmen of each Zhang family to plant grain in a carriage and send it to the granary of the government to redeem their own clansmen.
This time, the granaries of the Zhang family were almost exhausted, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality, and the clansmen all sighed, and were very dissatisfied with Zhang Li's behavior of leading the Zhang family into the fire pit.
Some people are happy and some are worried, just when the whole Zhang family is sad. Yuan bought it and happily made a pot of tea. Roasting a warm stove, rubbing mahjong with the graceful harem beauties. In the middle, it is indispensable to eat tofu and tell a few meat jokes, and be as happy as you want!
This time I didn't want to insert willows. Unexpectedly, nearly 90,000 stone of grain was obtained from Zhang's family. Yuan Mai was very happy.
It sounds good to say that it is a punishment for the Zhang family. What is not good is blackmail; But no matter what you say, these 90,000 stone of grain can at least keep your 80,000 troops for a month and a half.
Yuan Mai now controls eight counties. In more than 100 counties, there are more than 100,000 acres of land controlled by the government at all levels.
After the autumn harvest fell, 1.3 million stone of grain was harvested in various places, and after the government at all levels withheld a part, a total of 500,000 stone was handed over.
In addition to the fields controlled by the government, the yamen also levied taxes from the people of the counties, which was a large amount. A total of 1 million stone of grain was collected in various places, and after some was detained by the yamen at all levels, 400,000 stone of grain was handed over to Jinyang.
There is a sky outside the sky, and there are mountains outside the mountains; There are people outside the people, and there are officials outside the officials.
There is also a father Yuan Shao on top of Yuan Bo, and he is also urging the delivery of grain every now and then. In love and courtesy, Yuan Mai couldn't disobey the order, and distributed 300,000 stone grain, and sent Wang Ling to escort the troops to Yecheng to hand it over, and finally settled the pressure from Jizhou.
As a result, there are still 600,000 stone of new grain left in the granaries of Jinyang and Hanoi; Coupled with the 150,000 stone of grain exchanged for coal a few days ago, the number of grain hoards in the granary directly under the Thorn Shi reached more than 700,000 stones, which was enough to maintain the rations of the 80,000 army for more than a year.
This time, he knocked a bamboo pole from Zhang's family, 90,000 stone of grain, close to one-eighth of the entire Bingzhou inventory, which is really a considerable amount, and it is no wonder that Yuan is not happy!
Through this suppression of the Zhang family, Yuan Mai realized that there was a lot of grain storage in the Shi family, so he appointed Xu Shu and Zhou Cang to form a special inspection team to secretly investigate the violations of law and discipline by the gentry in various places.
After a few days of overt investigation and covert visits, almost every family of these gentry had disgraceful things. Yuan Mai's punishment of the Zhang clan, the largest clan in Hanoi, played a role in killing chickens and monkeys, and in order to avoid suffering greater losses, the clans had to open warehouses to offer grain, and asked Lord Assassin Shi to raise his noble hand.
In the past few days, from the major wealthy clans, another 50,000 or 60,000 stone of grain has been confiscated, which is another objective amount of grain!
Yuan Gongzi brews honey tea every day, but he is not just flirting with beauties, but also pondering the way to govern when he has nothing to do.
Since the nobles are strictly controlled, it is necessary to extend favors to the poor people, buy people's hearts, combine soft and hard, and deter the stubborn, which is the means that an excellent politician should have.
It is based on this psychology that Yuan Mai had the foresight to choose to open a warehouse and release grain, to help the poor people, and gave all the newly confiscated 50,000 stone of grain to the people of Hanoi, in exchange for praise, and the people's hearts were more attached.
Yuan Mai decided to set up a special team to investigate the crimes of the gentry and gentry, called "Jinyi Wei", to inspect and secretly visit the counties and counties of Bingzhou to crack down on the illegal gentry and earn extra income. Zhen Yao, the future uncle of the country, served as the commander and reported directly to himself.
The title "Jinyiwei" was plagiarized from the Ming Dynasty, not original, and there is nothing special about it. Anyway, there is no need to pay royalties, and there is no fear of infringement, and the brocade clothes of the Ming Dynasty will only come out in 1,300 years, afraid of a yarn?
Zhang Li was carried home and was dying, the pain of losing his son and the pain of his body were entangled, so that he could not take a drop of water, and after five or six days, he kicked his legs and died......
The news reached Yuan Mai's ears, although there was some surprise, but he was not afraid!
Anyway, according to natural development, Daddy Yuan Shao doesn't have two years to live, and he is not afraid of how big a wave he can make every time? With Lao Tzu's current power, Yuan Shao, a cheap father, still needs to rely on himself, and you are just a don't drive to do it, what can I do?
Even if you have a lotus tongue, say that the black is white, and the dead are brought back to life, even if you say that Daddy Yuan is angry, what can you do to Lao Tzu?
If the old man believes in your malicious slander and wants to remove my state assassin history, Uncle Ben can only say I'm sorry, I won't play with you anymore, I can do whatever I like, with this group of civil and military under my command, no one's account Lao Tzu will be sold!
If you don't believe you, try it, Lao Tzu will send a combination at will, and you can explode your Jizhou Army every minute!
Lao Tzu's subordinates include Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin, and Sima Fu; Wu has Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Lu Yi, Xu Sheng, Wang Shuang, Hao Zhao, Guo Huai, Zhang Xun; Comprehensive talents include Wang Ling, Liang Xi, Zhaozhao, and Tian Chou; There are Ma Jun for technical talents, and there are Zhu Ao and Zhou Cang for bodyguard talents; If you can't kill you, Jizhou is not over!
Of course, the premise is that the old man turns his face for the sake of Feng Ji and himself, this possibility is very small; Yuan Mai is just taking precautions, as the so-called "people have no long-term worries must have near-term worries".
If the situation really develops to this point, Lao Tzu will not say a word, first confiscate the Zhang's family property, collect all the land, and all the strong men will be sent to the army, the old and frail will be sent to the Gaodu coal mine to dig coal, and the beautiful women will be distributed to the generals as handmaidens, and the ugly ones will be sent to the barracks as military prostitutes.
In a word, no poison is not a husband, and you must be ruthless when dealing with dissidents; Treat your brothers as charity as God, and treat your opponents as cruel as the devil. Looking at the world, Lao Tzu doesn't sell anyone's account!
"That's right, no one's account is sold!"
Yuan Mai was holding mahjong in his hand, but he was distracted by Feiyang's thoughts.
Seeing the cards in Yuan Mai's hand, the charming Feng Yunniang snorted: "The slave family finally got a fool, how can you not admit it, son?" You've lit a gun! ”
Yuan Mai regained his mind from the intrigue of political competition, and smiled: "Oh...... It turned out that I lit a cannon for Feng Niangzi? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, whether it's firing or firing, this son will move forward! ”
"Cannons? The slave family knows that letting the opponent play cards is called 'point cannon', which is taught by the child, but I don't know what 'cannon' is? ”
Feng Yunniang collected the gambling money, blinked her beautiful eyes, and asked for advice in confusion. Cai Yan and Zhen Mi next to them also looked like they broke the casserole and asked the end?
Yuan Mai smiled "hehe", and pretended to be mysterious: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and when the time comes, my son will tell you!" ”
Will this son tell you that a qualified concubine should "go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen; under the card field, on the soft bed; Can you both fire and shoot cannons"?
The Spring Festival is approaching, the politics are harmonious, the soldiers are united, the wind and rain are smooth, Yuan Mai is happy, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, he took turns to release a shot to the women at the table, and then he got up with a smile and took over his son Yuan Xun, held it in his arms and teased, and let the itchy Helan who was watching next to him sit down and make up a few rounds.
"Babble...... Ahh......h
The tiger-headed son laughed happily in his father's arms, and occasionally could pop out of his mouth with a "Ah ...... Daddy ......". only smiled at Yuan Mai's happy eyebrows.
The little guy has been more than nine months, and he can walk on the ground after the beginning of spring, and he can clearly call his father and mother, and the joy of life is nothing more than this!
At this moment, the guard's voice sounded outside the door: "Lord Qi Qi Assassin Shi, Lord Cao Cao of Xuchang sent someone to send a carriage, saying that he sent a person over to the envoy, please smile!" ”
"Cao Cao gave me a gift?"
Yuan Mai was suddenly confused by the second monk, both confused and excited, could it be that Cao Cao felt that he couldn't resist himself, so he changed to the Huairou route and began to use the beauty trick? (To be continued......)
