Chapter VII Performing Duties in the Lower Position

Only four days in Xudu, on the fifth day, Wang Su was going to leave for Xuzhou Xiapi to take up his duties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Cao Cao personally came to deliver it, and his performance was very solemn, which made the people watching around him believe that Wang Sufei was an ordinary person. Of course, the twists and turns, public opinion guidance, or other actions have basically nothing to do with Wang Su.

What he got was fame, and what Cao Cao got was stability.

Starting from Xudu, to go to Xiapi, this road can be described as thousands of mountains and rivers.

Xu is in Yingchuan, located in the Central Plains. Xiapi is in Xuzhou, bordering the East China Sea. Its distance is more than 2,000 miles.

Wang Su and Zhang Li brought twenty or thirty followers, hurried all the way, and arrived in Pengcheng half a month later.

Xuzhou has just been included in Cao Cao's bag, and everything is in ruins. In many places, local officials have not yet been appointed, and Cao Cao's appointment of the assassin is still building the framework of the official system.

When Wang Su came here, he had to see the chariot first, and then go to perform his duties.

And Che Zhou was in Pengcheng at this time.

There is no need to go into trivial matters during this period, but it is said that Wang Su and Zhang Li entered Pengcheng and went to meet Che Zhou.

Although Che Xuan was appointed by Cao Cao, he was actually born in the military and was a military general. Xuzhou is newly determined, the people's hearts are unstable, and there are many bandits, isn't it just that the military generals are in need of bullet suppression?

When I saw the car, I had a pleasant greeting, but it was also harmonious.

Che Xuan is a person, with a Chinese face, a beard under his chin, a gentle expression, and appropriate speech, but he is a Confucian general. He was very curious about Wang Su.

From the appearance of Wang Su to the present, more than half a month has passed, and Cao Cao's propaganda can be said to be in place. Wang Su has not yet arrived in Xuzhou, and his reputation has already spread to Che Zhou's ears.

Although Che Xuan does not believe that Wang Su is a god descending from heaven, he knows the vision of the lord Cao Cao, where can ordinary people enter Cao Cao's eyes? Presumably, Wang Suding is very human and has extraordinary abilities, otherwise he would never be so praised that he would be suspected of being praised.

Therefore, Che Xuan deliberately intersected, and did not look down on him because his status and official position were higher than Wang Su.

After seeing the chariot, Wang Su went down.

Today, there is no county guard in Xiapi, and the entire Xuzhou, except for Donghai County, Langya State, and Pengcheng State, the other two counties have no county guards. Therefore, if Wang Su arrived in Xiapi, he would be the person appointed by Cao Cao to hold the highest official position in Xiapi County.

He is directly responsible to the chariot and does not have to look at anyone's face.

Che Xuan also allocated 500 soldiers and handed them over to the king. Because although Xiapi is quite stable, it is not peaceful in the world. Wang Su only brought twenty or thirty people, and Che Xuan was afraid that he would not be able to open up the situation in Xiapi, so he made this move.

For this, Wang Su is very grateful.

Xuzhou has five county-level administrative offices, Langya, Pengcheng, Donghai, Xiapi and Guangling. Xiapi is where Xuzhou is located at this time, which is equivalent to the provincial capital.

As the military and political center of Xuzhou, there were originally a large number of powerful warriors here.

But due to the war, more than half of it was erased.

For example, the Cao family of the Pihao clan below, that is, Lu Bu's cheap old man, the family of Cao Bao who was killed by Zhang Fei. Just last year it was gone.

Therefore, Wang Su is very optimistic about the performance of this trip.

Without these wealthy families in the way, there will be a lot less tricky things, and it will definitely be much easier to get things done.

......

Xiapi is the seat of Xuzhou governance, which should have been a prosperous place. It's a pity that the war destroyed this place. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou again a year ago, he surrounded Lu Bu with this army, and finally dug up Surabaya and flooded Pi, which was the decisive victory.

It's a pity that this big flood also turned the ancient city of Xiapi into Heze.

By now, the waters have long since receded. But the desolation and desolation of Xiapi are still so conspicuous in the ruins.

Wang Su took a large number of people and slowly entered the city.

I looked around, but I didn't see a few people. Presumably, when the war broke out, they either fled or died, and those who fled did not return, and those who died had no choice.

After walking around the city and getting a rough understanding of the situation, I chose a fairly good house as my office.

asked people to clean up the house, and Wang Su called Zhang and Li and the curvature of the five hundred people together.

"This time, on the order of Cao Gong, I came to Pi Tuntian. The country is based on agriculture, and if agriculture is prosperous, the country will be peaceful, so our responsibility is very heavy, and I hope that you will do your best to help and do not slack off. Wang Su said, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the narrow Danfeng eyes made his expression very dangerous: "I am here to make it clear to you, if it is done, Cao Gong will not hesitate to reward, if anyone drags me back, then don't blame me for being unpredictable!" ”

Zhang and Li naturally obeyed.

But the curvature is ignored.

Wang Su looked at him: "You, have an opinion?" ”

"None." Curvature was expressionless: "We only respect the order of the assassin, and the captain has no right to command." ”

"Oh?" Wang Su smiled.

Che Xuan clearly told Wang Su that these 500 people were at his disposal, but he didn't expect this curvature to be a thorn! Interesting!

"You say I don't have the right to command?" Wang Su's eyes opened suddenly, and the cold light flashed, and before everyone around could see what was going on, they saw that the curvature had been grabbed by Wang Su's neck and lifted up: "If I twist your neck now, what do you think?!" ”

The curvature was pinched by Wang Su's neck, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it, and he couldn't beat it, but it was like hitting a stone, and the bones that were shocked hurt. After a while, his face was red, his eyes were protruding, and his tongue was about to fall out!

"Rao... Spare your life! It was not easy to hold back three words.

Wang Su snorted coldly, shook his hand and threw the curvature on the ground, and shouted: "Assassin Shi Er and others are assigned to me to dispatch, this is a clear thing, you dare to blow up the thorn in front of me?!" I'll give you a warning this time, if there is a next time, I will not be spared! ”

"Whoa!"

Curvature hurriedly bowed down.

"Alright, get up." After Wang Su Liwei, he suddenly became kind again, and looked at Zhang and Li with a surprised face, and couldn't help laughing: "There are some rough martial arts, which makes the two of you laugh." ”

The two of them hurriedly shook their heads, and secretly said in their hearts, this rumor is indeed true, Tuntian Duwei Wang Su is not ordinary!

Although this curvature is not a high-ranking officer, it can command 500 people, and it is also the backbone of the officers. Waiting for ten or eight ordinary soldiers, they will fight, and they will never be opponents of curvature. But he didn't expect to be like a chicken, pinched in his hands by Wang Su, and finally had to give in and ask for mercy.

The curvature was used by Wang Su to establish his authority, but in the end, he was convinced.

He is a soldier, and a soldier obeys only the strong!

"Our priorities are twofold." Wang Su asked everyone to sit down and said slowly: "First, it is to count the number of acres of land in Xia Pi County. Second, it is Anmin! ”

"Neither of these things is easy, but it has to be done, and it has to be done quickly. Xiapi County has 16 counties under its jurisdiction, and the cultivated land area is huge, and to count the acres of land, it is absolutely not enough for me to rely on this manpower, and we are not familiar with the situation in various places in Xiapi. Therefore, it is necessary to recruit local officials to assist. ”

"As for Anmin, there are two aspects involved. First, Xuzhou is in ruins, but people's hearts are still unstable, so if you want the people to farm with peace of mind, you must let them know that they are safe now, so they need publicity. Second, I came to Tuntian this time to be a people's tuntian, and I had to organize the people in various places, divide the tasks, and cultivate them in an orderly manner. ”

After that, Wang Su looked at Zhang and Li and said, "The two of you are my deputies, you can talk about your own opinions and see if there is anything that needs to be added." ”

Zhang Ming bowed slightly and said, "I deeply agree with what the commander said, but there are a few problems below. First, how many local officials should be recruited? What is the center of the propaganda of the two? What are the specific matters and task divisions of the three Mintun? ”

Li Wu also nodded slightly.

The two of them have no experience in Tuntian, so when they arrived here, they were actually confused. Wang Su's words just now set up the big framework, but they didn't know exactly what to do.

Wang Su smiled, disapproving.

He knew that these two people had no relevant experience, so he did not blame them, so he carefully explained: "The recruitment of small officials, one of them mainly starts with the scholars of the Han family, if there are not enough scholars of the Han family, the famous ones in the township are selected, and the other is to follow the principle of proximity. The first point must be understood by both of you, and the second point is that when we recruit officials, we need them to go to the field to count the acres of fields, and naturally we must recruit locals from the counties to be counted, which is the principle of proximity. As for how much to recruit, I estimated that sixteen counties, each county needs at least fifty people! ”

"So much!?" Zhang and Li were slightly surprised: "In this way, it is eight hundred!" ”

"No more, no less." Wang Su said: "There are counties under the county, and there are townships, pavilions and li under the county. There are at least three or five townships in each county, and it is not for nothing that there are seven, eight, or a dozen or so. Each township has a few pavilions, more than ten pavilions, and each pavilion has a few miles and more than ten miles, so we must at least send one person to each township, and even in order to ensure the accuracy of the statistics of acres and acres, each pavilion needs to be stared at. Therefore, 800 people are not much, and it may not be enough. When recruiting small officials, it is slightly more relaxed, and two hundred more people are recruited, and a thousand people should be enough. ”

When the two heard this, they suddenly felt reasonable.

"As for propaganda," Wang Su looked at the curvature and said, "You take people to the countryside, post notices along the way to reassure the people, and inform them about Tuntian." Be sure to let everyone in Xiapi know! ”

"Whoa!"

"Tell me to write one later, and you can take it and find someone to copy it, and copy as much as you need." Wang Su instructed.

"As for the specific tasks of Mintun," Wang Su pondered, "I have no experience in tuntian, but farming is like that, and there is no trickery. Tuntian is collective labor, as long as you manage this well, there must be no problem. When you have to recruit a good official, after counting the acres of land, let the small official be responsible for the specific tuntian matters, and ask the villagers to help cooperate, and there will be no problem if you think about it. If there is a flaw, do it first, and then solve the problem when it is found. ”

"There's one more thing that's extremely important. Xuzhou has experienced war, and there must be many places where there are no owners. This should be indicated at the time of the statistics. After the statistics are completed, we will make calculations. In addition, regarding the tenant rent of Tuntian, I had already communicated with Cao Gong before I set off. Yanzhou Tuntian, divided into two kinds of military tun and civilian tun, we don't say that the military tun tenant rent is as high as sixty percent. And we here, as long as 30%! ”

"Sancheng!" Several people opened their mouths wide and looked at each other.

Wang Su nodded in confirmation and said, "It's Sancheng." And I promised that even if it is 30%, it is more than 60% in Yanzhou! ”

"Ahh

The crowd was even more shocked and worried.

The tenant rent of 30% of Xiapi is higher than that of 60% of Yanzhou, how can this be impossible!

Zhang and Li glanced at each other, and their spirit immediately declined a lot.

"Why worry." Seeing this, Wang Su smiled and said, "I am the Captain of Tuntian." It is also a guarantee made by me to Cao Gong. If not, I'll take care of it! ”

"It's... Duwei, if Xiapi wants to achieve a 30% tenant rent higher than Yanzhou's 60%, the yield per mu of land must be more than twice that of Yanzhou, is this possible? The two of them frowned.

"Of course it is!" Wang Su was categorical.
