Chang'an, as the two ancient capitals of the world and Luoyang, is very large.

In its heyday, Chang'an City had 12 gates and 8 main streets, the longest of which was several kilometers long.

Although many buildings were damaged during the war, its basic pattern remained unchanged.

In the current Chang'an City, palaces, aristocratic mansions, official offices and other buildings occupy two-thirds of the city's area, and most of them are concentrated in the central and southern parts of Chang'an City.

As for the markets in Chang'an City, they are all concentrated in the northwest of the city.

Due to the excessive number of merchants coming and going in Chang'an City, to this day, there are nine markets covering a wide area in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, which are called "Chang'an Nine Cities" at the time.

The establishment of the nine cities of Chang'an represents the development of Chang'an's commercial and trade industry, as well as the control of commercial activities by those in power.

On the other hand, this level of control has made Huaan's collection of intelligence more convenient.

Because the nine cities of Chang'an are all concentrated together, once something unusual happens in a certain market, then this matter will soon spread to any corner of the nine cities.

The medicinal herb shop opened by Hua'an is not big, and the medicinal herb shop he opened is not among the most prosperous markets in the nine cities.

Huaan didn't want to be too conspicuous.

However, despite the fact that his medicinal herb shop was located in a bad location, through the word of mouth of the merchants, he soon learned from other merchants that the Wei army was buying medicinal herbs on a large scale.

Perhaps Wei Jun's current move is only being carried out in those largest markets.

But under Hua An's careful inquiry, he knew that Wei Jun's large-scale purchase of medicinal materials would soon affect his market.

Wei Jun's change made Hua An clap his palms excitedly when no one was around.

All the preparations he made in advance were not in vain.

But more than ten years of imprisonment have long allowed Huaan to develop a cautious character.

He knows that intelligence is sometimes a double-edged sword, and if something goes wrong in some aspects, then it is likely to cause Mi Yang to make a wrong judgment, which Hua An does not want to see.

Therefore, Hua'an did not send the information he found to Liangzhou in a hurry as soon as possible.

In the following period of time, Hua An used his eight-sided exquisite means to constantly shuttle through the nine cities of Chang'an, further probing the actions of the Wei army.

"Most of the medicinal materials purchased by Wei Jun are for the treatment of external injuries."

"The cities are asking all medicinal herb shops to replenish the supply as soon as possible."

"Some medicine merchants who want to hoard Juqi are captured by the Wei army and don't know if they live or die."

...

All kinds of news were either inquired by Hua'an, or obtained by him under Hua'an's personal experience.

The identity of the businessman made Hua'an easy to find out the information.

Because sharing intelligence is an important means of making money for businessmen.

Only by always paying attention to the first trend of the government can we seek the greatest benefits for ourselves.

In addition, Hua An is a native of Xuzhou, and his pure Central Plains accent will not easily arouse people's suspicions.

The Mi clan of the East China Sea was able to become a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou back then, and making war fortunes was one of their most important sources of money.

With this kind of family tradition, it is not difficult for Hua An, who was born in the Mi clan of the East China Sea, to get the answer he wants from many complex business intelligences.

And after the answer in his heart gradually took shape, Hua An immediately returned to his medicinal herb shop and summoned one of his disciples.

Being in enemy territory and spying on intelligence is an extremely dangerous thing.

For such a dangerous matter, ordinary subordinates can be recruited on the spot depending on the situation, but they must be accompanied by one or two people who are completely trustworthy.

Before the younger brother came to him, Hua An whispered to him.

By the time Hua An's whispering ended, his younger brother's face had turned into shock.

Looking at the shocked look on his younger brother's face, Hua An expressed his understanding.

But he didn't worry that this younger brother would do something he didn't want to see because of the fear in his heart.

Betraying the family is one of the bottom lines of being a man in the world.

It's not that any clansman will definitely not betray, it's just that the clansmen who will betray the family have left them under the strong pressure of the Wei army back then.

Hua An looked at the shocked look on his younger brother's face, and he said to his younger brother in a serious tone:

"Be sure to bring this news to the young patriarch."

The young patriarch in Hua'an's mouth is Mi Yang.

The news of Mi Zhu's death had already been known to Hua'an through special channels.

was known by Hua'an, as well as Mi Zhu's last words before his death.

Before Mi Zhu died, Mi Fang was designated as the next head of the Mi family.

Originally, according to common sense, after Mi Zhu's death, Mi Wei should inherit the position of head of the family.

However, elder brother and younger brother are also recognized as a form of inheritance.

In addition, Mi Wei took the initiative to give up inheriting the position of the head of the family, so now the head of the Mi clan is Mi Fang.

And everyone knows that the reason why Mi Zhu will designate Mi Fang to inherit the position of the head of his family is to pass on the position of the head of the Mi family to Mi Yang in the future.

Therefore, at present, all the people of the Mi clan will call Mi Yang the young patriarch in private.

Listening to the solemn tone in Hua An's words, Hua An's younger brother nodded cautiously.

His nod meant that he would bring the news to Mi Yang's ears smoothly at the cost of his life.

After nodding to Hua An, Hua An's younger brother brought some coils, and then left the city in the afternoon of the same day.

After leaving the city, Hua'an's younger brother quickly headed towards Liangzhou.

I didn't bring any retinue because I was afraid that the retinue would be unreliable.

If you don't write down the information in the letter, you are an insurance against the evidence.

When Mi Yang's people were picked up by him and Ji Han began, they were the most reliable hole cards in Mi Yang's hands.

...

In the county government of Chuyang County, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, Mi Yang stood on top of the high-rise building on the side, looking at the many people below.

This high-rise building was built when the Xiao family took control of the county government.

The reason why the Xiao family built this high-rise building is nothing more than that when the people are in turmoil, the soldiers in the county government can climb up to observe the enemy's situation.

It can be said that the original intention of the Xiao family to build this high-rise building was to better suppress the local people.

Perhaps after the high-rise was built, the ancestors of the Xiao family also stepped on this high-rise building, admiring his masterpiece while looking down with contempt, and the people below him were regarded as muddy.

It's just that when Mi Yang led Fa Miao to stand on this tall building today, although his eyes were also looking down, his eyes were full of pride and joy.

Because today is the day when the county government of Chuyang County distributes one mu of land according to the uniform land system.

With the passage of time, the work of counting the population of acres in Chuyang County was finally completed.

After completing this work, in order to curry favor with Mi Yang, who was just outside the city, the new magistrate of Chuyang County immediately began to prepare for the new policy of granting land to a county in Chuyang.

According to the equalization system implemented by Miyang, the citizens of Chuyang County, regardless of gender, can be given a certain number of acres of land according to the population as long as they meet the age requirements.

Perhaps the act of granting land was not the first initiative of Mi Yang, but has been done in all dynasties.

Even when the heroes were divided, some princes did such a move.

However, Mi Yang's field granting is very different from what his predecessors did.

The fields granted by the predecessors were nominally very good, but most of the acres of land they granted fell into the hands of wealthy families in various places, and there was no way to directly fall into the hands of the people who were really suffering.

Before the grant of the uniform field system, Mi Yang had already used tough means to implement the three-long system.

The greatest effect of the three-long system is to identify a large number of people who have been shaded by the powerful and powerful families, and to separate those populations from the slave vassals of a certain family and surname.

Under this premise, it is enough to ensure that the acres of land granted by the uniform land system can truly achieve "all those who can cultivate have land" as described in his content.

And that alone can make anyone who gets the news feel extremely excited.

The status of Tianmu among the ancient people is the foundation of their livelihood, and it is also the most important support in their lives.

It can be said that as long as the ruler can ensure that the vast majority of the people have land to cultivate and grain to harvest, then the dynasty can be regarded as prosperous.

During this period, the centripetal force of the people was the strongest, and it belonged to the state of absolutely sincere support for the ruler.

In ancient times, the people did not want much, but unfortunately in the vast majority of history, it was this simple request, and the rulers could not meet the people.

Then the sky fell apart, and in an instant.

Although Mi Yang was born in a peasant family in his previous life, there were many ways to make a living in his time, so he could not deeply appreciate the importance of acres of land to the people of the world.

But now standing on top of the tall building, he deeply understands this after seeing what happened in front of him.

Under the tall buildings is dark and oppressive, and there is no end to the crowd at a glance.

They were all summoned by the three chiefs to come to the people of Weiyang inside and outside the county government.

Among the many people, because they had just been rescued, most of them were yellow-skinned and thin, and they didn't even have a decent body cover.

It's now October, and the weather is slowly starting to get colder.

Originally, with the current weather, many people should feel the cold.

But Mi Yang didn't perceive much of the fear of cold on the faces of many people.

On the contrary, at this moment, everyone's face revealed a joy that could not be suppressed.

I've never seen that kind of joy before.

Most of the joy Mi Yang had seen in the past was the joy after the big victory, or the joy when the reward was awarded.

Most of those joys were enthusiastic and surging.

But there is an indescribable subtlety in the joy of many people now, as if they were worried that what they are experiencing is a dream.

They didn't dare to shout loudly, they didn't dare to dance, they only dared to line up silently, and then looked ahead with a pair of shining eyes.

After a long period of observation, Mi Yang seemed to understand the meaning of that light.

That meaning is called hope.

Perhaps because the people had not read a book, they did not understand the significance of the implementation of the Juntian system, and they could not even memorize the contents of the Juntian system.

However, they knew that this system, called the equalization system, was granting them acres of land in earnest, and their hopes for the future came to their minds.

They have a field to be worthy of being called people, aren't they?

In the past, most of them were under the control of wealthy families, and although they had paid a huge amount of labor, they could only get a small amount of food in the end.

Even they weren't seen as people by those wealthy families.

That meager amount of food, not to mention feeding your family, is very difficult to feed yourself.

So in the past days, one family member after another died in front of their eyes, and in the face of this tragic situation, all they could do was humble begging and impotent weeping.

Isn't the root of all this because they don't have a field of their own?

But now it's different, and they're about to have their own fields.

Many people inside and outside the county government watched as people like themselves in front of them received their own land deeds in the hands of the subordinates of the county government.

Looking at those who were like themselves, crying with joy after getting the deed, their faces showed extremely excited looks.

I'm about to become them myself.

Thinking of this, the brilliance in the eyes of many people became brighter and brighter, and as the long dragon-like team continued to move forward, a name kept coming to their hearts - Mi Yang.

They took the name to heart.

They didn't know that the man with the name was now watching them from the tall building behind them.

But they knew that it was this man who gave them the opportunity to own their own fields.

Just keep this in mind and that's enough.

A priceless treasure called the people's heart, under the practical implementation of the Juntian system, is constantly converging on Mi Yang's body.

And this situation is quietly happening everywhere in Liangzhou at the moment.

Or the people's will now does not immediately bring much help to Mi Yang.

But one day in the future, tens of thousands of people in Liangzhou will repay Mi Yang's kindness to them today with the most simple heart.

A drink and a peck, there is cause and effect in the dark.

...

Mi Yang didn't stay on the high-rise building for long, and the main reason why he appeared on the high-rise building today was to observe whether the subordinate officials of Chuyang County were violating the yang and yin.

Realizing that this did not appear, Mi Yang also moved to leave.

It's just that seeing his new policy has brought joy and hope to many people, Mi Yang was in a good mood when he left.

There are various interpretations of what a state pastor is.

But Mi Yang has his own opinions.

"The state pastor receives the books of the Quartet, the peace of the town and the country, the internal care of the people, and the external court."

This sentence not only illustrates the power of the governor, but also points out his obligation.

Now seeing that he is gradually completing the obligation of "caring for the people", how can this make Mi Yang not feel satisfied and happy?

But Mi Yang, who was in a good mood, not long after returning to the barracks, got a piece of news that made him worry - Chang'an Siwen had something important to report.

After getting the news, a guess faintly appeared in Mi Yang's heart.

The internal care of the people is almost done, is the next thing to ask him to beg for the outside?
