When he only had Daqing Fort, Zhang Ke thought very simply, that is, to desperately let the people live well and support himself with all his heart. After taking charge of the entire Yizhou Guard, he stood in a different position and saw different things.

In addition to grace, but also to be powerful!

Sun Youguang is a wasted guy, but he has a lot of experience, and his knowledge is different.

"My lord, as the so-called Shengmi En's fight against rice, take these people as an example, if they are given a hundred taels of silver per family, I dare to guarantee that in a few days, half of the people will run to the pass, who is willing to suffer in the bitter cold land! In the final analysis, if we want to make the lives of the common people slowly better, the land rent cannot be reduced in one step. ”

After listening to Sun Youguang's words, Zhang Ke thought for a long time, got up from his seat, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Lao Sun.

"Old Sun, wake up the dreamer with a word, as the so-called family has an old man like a treasure. How to govern in the future, I also asked Sun Lao for more guidance, Zhang Ke is grateful! ”

"I can't do it, I can't help it!" Sun Youguang hurriedly picked up Zhang Ke and said in a panic: "I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." ”

Deng Wentong also pondered Sun Youguang's words, and smiled with emotion: "Old Sun, if you talk nonsense, we should all find a crack in the ground to get in!" What should I do in Tuntian, how much should I charge for rent, you can always give me an idea! ”

Sun Youguang enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight for the first time, and the old man was also a little dizzy, he sat in his position, looked at Deng Wentong's plan, nodded for a while, and shook his head for a while.

After watching for a quarter of an hour, the old man said, "My lord, how to divide the fields and how to redivide the people's register. How to build a diversion canal and dig a well are all written in great detail, and the old man doesn't have to put more beaks! However, on the issue of land rent, it is best to increase it to 40%! ”

How much?

Deng Wentong, Shen Yue, Tang Guang, including Zhang Ke. All dumbfounded! The landlords of Liaodong Haoqiang's land rent is only four or five percent, if it is collected in this way, is the grange still competitive, and reducing the burden of the people has become empty talk!

Looking at the suspicious gazes of several young people, Lao Sun showed a smug smile.

"My lord, the old man is relying on the old and selling the old. You just think about the land rent, in fact, the common people can still live just the land rent, and the real thing is something else! ”

Sun Youguang opened the chatterbox, and now Zhang Ke really figured out the shortcomings of the border army.

For example, each soldier can receive one stone of food a month. If it does get there as scheduled, the family may be able to get through by tightening their belts. But what is fatal is that the military salary is not only in arrears, but also cannot be directly put in the hands.

The soldiers had to go to the provincial capital hundreds of miles, or even three or five hundred miles away, to collect it, and then transport it home by themselves, needless to say, the consumption and hardship. Every year, soldiers are robbed in the middle of the road, injured and killed.

Just like the strange taxation system of the Ming Dynasty - the grain chief system - the grain chief system was selected from among the large households, who were responsible for transporting the grain to the capital and storing it. Officials are not allowed to interfere, and the way of receiving salaries in the Ming Dynasty is just as strange!

"My lord, if only you could deliver the food to the various bunkers. Let the military households pick it up nearby, and they will be grateful! ”

"Good!"

Zhang Ke nodded without hesitation and agreed: "What Elder Sun said is too good, in the future, the food and salary will be paid in advance!" Sun Lao, what else is there to build yì? ”

"Yes, the flight of military households, and the important factor is service. Every time there is a war on the frontier. It is necessary to transfer young and strong people. Not only does it delay farming, but it is even in danger of losing one's life. ”

"Errand service is not exempt. But I can set up stone monuments in the forts and promise the people. After one month of service every year, I will pay them and not let them work in vain! ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Sun Youguang stretched out his fat thumb and said with a smile: "In the end, what the people are worried about is safety, the Tartars are often taken captive, and no one can live a life of fear." ”

"Hahahaha!" Yue Zixuan suddenly laughed: "Old Sun, don't worry, with us, the quasi-guarantee will let the Tartar have no return!" ”

Indeed, military power is the most confident aspect of the big guys.

Finally, the matter of Tuntian was properly discussed, and the land rent for the first year was tentatively set at 30 percent and 5, and the farm tools and seeds provided for farming cattle were no longer free, and they were borrowed by the people, but no interest was charged.

The rest of the levy and transportation of grain and salary were all taken care of by the Wei Office, and as for the conscription, it was divided into two situations: digging ditches for the local roads and digging only free grain, and if you wanted to leave the Yizhou Wei, you had to pay half of the military salary, and the time could not exceed two months, and the dead and wounded during the labor period had to be compensated.

Zhang Ke engraved the new decree on the stone tablet and sent it to various castles overnight to preach it to the people. In fact, Zhang Ke is still quite worried, after all, it has shrunk a lot compared to the previous promise, and the people will not rebound!

For this reason, Zhang Ke personally disguised himself to observe the people's situation in various places, and the result was very unexpected, and the people not only did not object, but also obviously accepted it.

In their opinion, Zhang Ke's original regulations were too lenient, and they were so generous that they were false, so they were lured to be fooled first, and then bite hard!

It wasn't until the much more "reliable" regulations came out that the people breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, there was also a rebound in Daqingbao and other places, but fortunately, after the victory of Fengjibao, many young people were promoted and rewarded. These families have become Zhang Ke's staunchest supporters, especially in Hewan Village and other places, and they worship Zhang Ke like a god, and with their strong support, the new Tuntian law quickly took root in the hearts of the people.

Liaodong can only grow one season of grain, and now it is not yet August, and there is still more than half a year before the beginning of spring next year, and the work of dividing land has already begun.

Sun Youguang, who was appreciated for his words, came to Wan Muchun, the head of a sick tree, and he presided over the division of the field. Of course, Zhang Ke was also worried that Lao Sun would cheat for personal gain, so he sent Tang Guang and Zhu Qingbin to him. Lao Sun gladly accepted the order, and immediately began to divide the grange and register the people.

Hearing that there was a field in his hand, the people of Yizhou were all looking forward to it, and Zhang Ke's prestige was increasing day by day. At the same time, he also set about reorganizing the army.

Zhang Ke's subordinates were divided into three major parts, the most descendant of which was the core warrior who had been trained all the way from Daqing Fort in Hewan Village, with more than 1,000 people.

The second part is Li Guangrong's family, from which Zhang Ke carefully selected and scattered and incorporated into his subordinates. Let their rich combat experience be combined with the strict discipline of the soldiers of Daqing Fort. Jointly enhance combat effectiveness.

The third part is the soldiers of Yizhou Wei, after a mutiny, there are less than 800 people left in Yizhou Wei. Zhang Ke demanded that the old and weak be eliminated and the young and strong should be recruited, so that the number of personnel would reach 1,500. The total number of troops reached more than four thousand.

Zhang Ke doesn't have to worry about military training. Wu Boyan, Qiao Fu, Yue Zixuan, and Du Qing can all handle it, and they are more careful than Zhang Ke.

The real trouble is still tuntian, the method is there, the people have accepted it, and the rest is to get enough land.

Zhang Ke took his brother-in-law Deng Wentong to inspect Dakangbao and other places in person, and climbed high and overlooked. Both sides of the Daling River are fertile land, and you can squeeze out oil by grabbing a handful.

"Although Yongzhen, Wang Qing and others have all the fields in their hands, the fields in Yizhou are still not enough. The most fertile land in front of us was still in the hands of the gentry and landlords, who were sitting on huge fields. But if you don't pay a little tax to the court, you are a bunch of moths! There are more than 3,000 hectares of land in Yizhou, of which more than 1,300 hectares are in their hands. It is more than twice as much as Wang Qing and others, and it still occupies the most fertile plot! ”

Deng Wentong gritted his teeth and said: "Shuo rat Shuo Mouse, after reading for so many years, I realized that it was not the imperial court, but the gentry and landlords!" ”

Looking at the excited brother-in-law, Zhang Ke couldn't help laughing. A few months ago, Deng Wentong was still full of clear thoughts about not competing with the people for profit, but now he has made a 180-degree turn.

"The court is far away. The gentry and landlords who plagued the people the most were the gentry and landlords. However, these people are also the most difficult to deal with, and the spitting star emperor who speaks of the official and clear stream has to retreat! ”

"Hey!" Deng Wentong sighed: "That's what I said, we really can't make too many enemies at the moment, if there is a shortage of land, let's open up wasteland, there is no shortage of wasteland in the anti-justice state." ”

"Hmm. It is true that the wasteland should be cleared, and the wasteland will be exempted from taxation for the first three years. Zhang Ke smiled: "But it can't be cheap for those landlords!" Brother-in-law. You arrange for men to encourage the tenants to break away from the landlords. Go to the farm and farm. Besides, don't these landlords refuse to give up the best land, and when we build canals and dig wells, we also avoid their fields. Let them have no water. Consume it and see who can't stand it first! ”

"Good!"

Deng Wentong happily accepted the order, Zhang Ke turned around, his subordinates did their best, and Zhang Ke was a lot easier.

"Ma Biao, you go and arrange for someone to clean up the mansion, and the old lady will come over in two days." Zhang Ke was promoted, so he naturally thought of taking the old lady over.

Ma Biao smiled: "My lord, the old lady thinks more than you, she has already sent someone to clean up the house!" Don't believe me, look outside! ”

Zhang Ke looked along Ma Biao's hand, and saw a tall woman walking in from the outside, without any gouache decoration, pure and elegant, and generous. He was followed by a group of shopkeepers, each holding red silk in their arms, as if they were married.

Zhang Ke was taken aback and hurriedly greeted him.

"Miss Fang, this, what is this for?"

Fang Yunqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Lord Zhang, forgive the little woman for not telling you, this is what the old lady ordered." Let the slave family help prepare for the marriage! ”

"Marriage?"

Zhang Ke was stunned for a moment, and said stupidly: "Whose marriage?" ”

"Of course it's the marriage of your Lord Zhang and Sister Xiaoxue!" Fang Yunqing glanced at Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke suddenly smiled awkwardly: "I know, it's just that my mother thought of asking Miss Fang to help, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, I'll arrange someone else to ......"

"Giggles!" Fang Yunqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Zhang, do you think that the slave family is going to be jealous?" The women in the world are not all like Sister Xiaoxue, who is dead set on you, a big radish. After the slave family manages the marriage, they are ready to leave Liaodong, there are not a hundred shops, and our Yunqing's business skills are no worse than your men! ”

To say that Zhang Ke treats Fang Yunqing, who is like a flower and jade, has no idea, it is definitely a lie. But he was broken in front of him and refused, and Zhang Ke's old face couldn't help but turn red.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you!"

At this time, Ma Biao walked in quickly and delivered a letter of worship to Zhang Ke.

After taking a look, Zhang Ke suddenly shouted: "Why is he?" ”

Fang Yunqing on the opposite side also noticed the copper coin logo on the worship post, and her pretty face turned pale! (To be continued) R655
