After Shixun returned to Hedong, he focused on internal affairs and re-divided and clarified the responsibilities of his subordinates. At present, there are four major issues that must be paid attention to, the first of which is farming.

In an agrarian society, farming is the foundation of social stability, and the output of farmland depends to a large extent on the development of science and technology. He only knows the basic common sense of fertilization, weeding, digging canals, and selecting improved seeds, and the basic knowledge of the problem is not clear to his parents who nested in the poor col back then, and the old king next door is not clear, and the vast majority of farmers in the Central Plains are clear, but they have the strength to complete the relevant work.

In many travel novels, the pig's feet vigorously developed industry and commerce when they returned to ancient times, completely ignoring agriculture, as if the common people could fill their stomachs by gnawing copper coins, gold and silver, and Xun Ke would not make such a low-level mistake. Fortunately, the consumption level in these years is generally very low, and it is not difficult to fill the stomach alone, as long as everyone has land to plant, the taxes are not heavy, and natural disasters do not cause trouble.

It is Xun who lives within his means, and does not dare to use military force in Hedong - he really wants to be like many separatist princes, regardless of production, regardless of quality, the more troops recruited, the better, a county in Hedong, 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers can be easily recruited, and who will not be able to pull a strong ding. But if you really do that, the consequences will be quite serious, and the decline in the quality of the troops will be ignored for the time being, and agricultural production will be greatly damaged - in the original history, Cao Cao barely survived on Tuntian in Yuzhou, Yuan Shaojun picked mulberries in Hebei, and Yuan Shujun fished for clams in Huainan, which are all clearly recorded in history, and this timeline is actually not too much.

Last year. Through the efforts of Shihoon. The imperial court exempted a county in Hedong from sending money and grain to Beijing. made the county government a little rich, and he did not increase the amount he could, plus he refused to dry up and desperately recruited troops, so the burden of ordinary yeoman farmers was not heavy. However, the tenants were not in control, and the county families held a large amount of land, and even if they did not evade taxes, the burden that repeatedly accumulated on the tenant farmers was quite terrible, and the people under high pressure would only work hard. There is no subjective initiative at all, and the land cannot really be planted well.

It was Xun who gritted his teeth many times and wanted to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, but in the end, he just thought about it and didn't dare to do it. His power came from the gentry, but if he did not intend to start from scratch and start from scratch, he could not really betray the class to which he belonged, and at most he would try to tilt his policy slightly in favor of the small landlords and bureaucrats as a "spokesman for the big landlords and big bureaucrats."

Fortunately, Pingyang and other four counties were ruined by the Huns, and the old land order was completely chaotic. After Shixun recovered the four counties, he gained a large amount of official land in vain. So he asked Sun Zi to assist Jia Qu. Divide the fields, resettle the displaced people, and even secretly incite tenants from other counties to flee and come to the four counties to farm. The government lends land, seeds, and farm implements for five years, and if a certain share of grain can be handed over each year, the land belongs to the cultivator.

The tax is really not low, basically you have to pay sixty percent of the output in normal years - one or two percent less than Mintun, but in order to be able to own their own land, the people are still quite enthusiastic. Of course, it is impossible for Shixun to prohibit the clans of other counties from coming to buy land, he just raised the price of land as much as possible to a height that is tasteless and a pity to abandon.

For those counties where the old land order has not been broken, it is Xun who is handed over to Pei Hui to be responsible, and Zhuge Jin is supplemented. Pei Hui is the representative of the big landlord, and the head of the land, Zhuge Jin was born a big landlord, but there is no foundation in Hedong County, the two can sing a red face, a white face, and slap a sweet jujube, which not only restricts those families, but also does not be too strict and cause trouble.

Shihoon's policy towards those landlords was to first follow the traditional but completely disregarded hierarchy, limiting the number of landholdings that had been exceeded, and those who had exceeded the limit could be ignored, but not allowed to continue to exceed. Secondly, usury is strictly prohibited. Third, try to direct the money and energy of those great families to industry and commerce, and don't buy land and take people into slavery with a little spare money.

The scholars of the Han Dynasty still had a certain pioneering spirit, and although the merchants were nominally lowly industries, they actually had the name of "Sufeng", and they were not as unpopular as the bureaucracy in later generations. At the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a considerable number of wealthy merchants took the initiative to form alliances with Confucian families through marriage and dependence, in order to get rid of the politically discriminated status. Therefore, there are very few big families who are not engaged in business—the old man Cao, who was only hung up last year, has a lot of money, not all of which is the income of corruption, nor is it all the output of the land—and the wealthy merchants have been able to enter the bureaucracy because of their losses, such as the East China Sea Elk Zhu, but they abound.

At the same time, Shi Xun also "doesn't feel distressed when he sells his field", and opens a large number of forests and mineral resources that nominally belong to the government or even the royal family to the family, and you can use it if you give money, and you can always dominate it when you pay taxes - this is the biggest sweet jujube for the family. In addition to the gunpowder workshop, which was kept secret from the outside world and not allowed to be imitated, what paper-making workshops, oil extraction workshops, briquette workshops, iron-striking workshops, and weaving workshops were built and sold to private individuals, triggering a craze for cottages. Since the industrial and mining output has been improved, then commerce is no longer a source of water, Sili, Yan, Henan and other prefectures were initially determined, in the need for commodity circulation, Hedong merchants soon became popular in the world.

This is the second issue that Xun should focus on: vigorously developing industry and commerce. This is mainly handed over to Gongcao Peng Qiu Xing - Yes Xun sometimes can't help but wonder, will I get the "Jin Shang" group out thousands of years in advance?

The third issue that Shixun is concerned about is the Xiongnu. When he left Yong'an, he once granted the northern governor Jia Qu a four-character policy: "Organize households and people." "Actually, this is not Xun's invention, originally in history, more than ten years later, Cao Cao would have done this.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao summoned Chuquan to lead the kings to the Hajj, and since then, except for a right virtuous king to go to humble, he has left them all in Yecheng and will not let them go home. Although he returned to Pingyang, Cao Cao divided the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions, scattered in Puzi in Hedong, Zishi in Taiyuan, Qi County, Daling, and Xinxing County (originally Taiyuan County), and incorporated the household into the government's household registration system like the Han Chinese. Unified management.

It should be said. Cao Cao's hand is very old and spicy. If there are no twists and turns, over time, it is likely that the Xiongnu will be directly digested, and the Xiongnu will really become Han at that time. Although the decadent rule of the Western Jin Dynasty and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" interrupted this integration process, it can be seen from the fact that Liu Yuanhai, the first chaotic China, did not even leave the name of the Xiongnu, and the rebellion still had to play the banner of "Han".

So Ji Xun plans to do the same. And more radical than Cao Cao - those nobles have already been firmly pinched in the palm of his hand anyway. He ordered Jia Qu to break up all the old and weak Xiongnu women and children who remained in the four counties, divide them into households, grant land, and exempt them from tax for five years - Cao Cao's policy is permanently tax-exempt, and it is Xun who thinks it is inappropriate, isn't this artificially creating ethnic estrangement? I can't control your soldiers for the time being, but their families have already dispersed, and when they get home when they are old, can the children easily gather together?

Now that the Xiongnu have been reorganized, their slaves have naturally been released in large numbers. Part of it was restored to tenant farming, and part of it - Zeng Ergou ran over. I bought it and went to mine.

The last issue that Hoon should pay attention to is the raising and training of troops. Regardless of the source and region, he selected many outstanding soldiers in the previous war, included them in his own army, expanded it into a department in Situn, and appointed Guo Huai as Sima. Sun Wen had already returned from Yicheng with his troops, and the county soldiers were handed over to him and Wang Ling to command, but another Sima Yi was added to it, taking overall responsibility.

Shi Xun arranged all the work properly, so he made a big deal again - he was not a qualified affairs officer, he was almost not tired when he was a Shaofu, and now he has so many first-class and quasi-first-class people under his command, he must let go when he should let go, and he has no future with Zhuge Liangxue. Of course, this so-called big sa is not Kong Rong's real big saga, it is Xun who first arranges tasks, sets goals, and then sees the sky and has to spot check.

He spends his main energy on scientific research. First, he continued to expand the output of gunpowder workshops and accelerate the improvement of rockets, and he named the kind of rocket car he had made before "Hedgehog Car" because it could touch evil spirits, and in addition, he also began to research "swarm bees" that were more convenient to transport and use.

Second, he could finally begin to study printing. The promised workshop has never been able to make better paper, probably because the leader Li Caige was brought to Hedong by Shixun, but after the efforts of Li Caige and others, Hedong Paper Mill finally developed a new paper that is more in line with Shixun's requirements - of course, Li Caige and others were rewarded. So the official recruited a group of stonemasons and began to engage in lithographic printing.

In fact, regardless of the cost or technology, woodblock printing is much more trouble-free than lithographic printing, but Xun has a misunderstanding, first of all, printing comes from the stone tablet rubbing technique, followed by Xun learned to engrave seals in his previous life, but he did not learn to carve wood, so he instinctively felt that he should engage in lithographic printing first. Of course, he would not let go of woodblock printing, and summoned some carpenters to study it, but he still focused on lithographing.

You don't have to take the old road of the stele, of course, you can engrave the reverse word Yang text as soon as you come up, and then ask Wei Dan to create various qualities of ink, apply them one by one, and choose the good ones. But the stone seal here has just been a little scored, and the wooden seal over there has succeeded first. It's Xun's annoyance, Bai took a detour......

After Xun left the town of Hedong, Cao Cao handed over the work of the Jian'an Stone Tablet to Taizhong Doctor Kong Rong - that guy has been becoming more and more alienated from Cao Cao recently, and feels that he is not reused, so okay, find you some serious work to do. Who would have thought that Kong Wenju would still be like a Shaofu, just talking and not doing practical things, and all the work would fall on the shoulders of Xu Ci and others. Fortunately, Xu Ci has thousands of students to call, and Shi Xun and Sima Yi have already given the rules and regulations, so Xiao Gui Cao followed, and the progress was a little behind, and there were no big demon moths.

By this time, not only the "Yi" and "Shu", but even the "Book of Songs" had been revised and was about to be engraved, and Xu Ci had already sent a copy to Anyi. So Shi Xun first engraved these three sets of books, with thicker parchment paper as the cover, bound with hemp rope, and presented them to Liu Xie and Cao Cao after carving, and then handed them over to the merchants and transported them to be sold everywhere.

He didn't think about it carefully, the newly printed books here had just left the territory of Hedong, including Taixue, Xu Du's large and small yamen, and familiar scholars, all of whom wrote to ask for it. On the one hand, Shixun increased the scale of the bookstore and accelerated the printing, and on the other hand, he also sent people to cry poverty with Cao Cao - I can't collect money from them, but if it goes on like this, the treasury in Hedong will be empty!

Of course, the treasury of Hedong will not be vacuumed because of the printing of children's books, and it is Xun who is saying to Cao Cao: I am all at public expense, and printing books is an official business, not a bad job...... (To be continued......)
