The rain gradually stopped, the sun was like fire, the slightest white cloud floated in the blue sky, the whiter the whiter and brighter, the green leaves after the rain were verdant, bright and green, Cen Tao sat by the window in a daze, speechless for a long time, seemed to have been intoxicated in the beauty of summer. Tai Shi Ci sat opposite respectfully, waited patiently for a long time, and finally couldn't help but move.

Cen Tao was shocked at this time, put away the letter, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, I am this character who suffers from gains and losses, but it makes Ziyi smile,"

Tai Shi Ci bowed slightly, "Where, Yuan Bogong said and laughed, the eldest husband is just making meritorious contributions, how can he be indifferent!" ”

In the case of rumors, someone must have been planning for a long time. Cen Tao checked the annexation in the plains, which was just an introduction. Since Zhang Han arrived in Qingzhou, he has been restricting the surname of the family. No matter how critical the moment was, Zhang Han did not allow the family to become a private soldier. Of course, Zhang Han governed Qingzhou very well, and after several chaos, Qingzhou was safe and sound, and it was covered up. However, along with the rumors, I am afraid that these bits and pieces will be turned up. Guo Jia even pointed out a poisonous plan to provoke the contradictions between the people of Qingzhou and the people.

This contradiction always exists, no matter how fair Zhang Han is, some people will think that the other party has taken advantage. What's more, from top to bottom, after countless people's implementation, Zhang Han can barely maintain a general fairness, which is extremely rare. If this contradiction is provoked again, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos. All in all, both of these things can be a lot of trouble.

Speaking of which, Zhang Han also regretted it a little, he originally wanted to solve the problem of the flood of private soldiers in the plains, but. The rebels were the edict of Emperor Lingdi, and the legacy of the original plain Taishou adopted a common excuse - annexation. Generally speaking, as long as this magic weapon is sacrificed, then it can be rubbed and kneaded at will - there is no one in the family who does not do this. As long as Cen Tao is in the process of execution, pay attention to it, don't hit too widely, and it won't cause a strong backlash. Now rumors are rife. It's another thing.

When Zhang Han convened all the people involved to discuss the matter, everyone agreed that the matter must be resolved as soon as possible. However, there are differences in the specific method. But whether it's tough or compromised. Cen Tao has done it all.

finally took charge alone, but encountered a conspiracy and was forced to resign, how could Cen Tao not be depressed. Tai Shi Ci responded decently, and couldn't help but make people feel good. Cen Tao is also a generous person, so he put down this matter and didn't mention it, but asked about what Tai Shici had seen and heard all the way.

Tai Shici is twenty-four or five years old, has a good family education, has long ape arms, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and sits there with a calm bearing. Not many words, but very decent. Cen Tao became interested and talked to him in detail.

Originally. Tai Shici is a native of Huangxian County, and he worshiped under Zheng Xuanmen a few years ago. He is one of Zheng Xuan's disciples, and two years ago he was turned into the history of the Assassin Mansion, but he is strong in martial arts, good at archery, at his request, he has studied the art of war with Zhang Han, and now serves as the first tuntun commander in the pro-army. This time, in addition to conveying orders. It is also to protect Cen Tao's safety. Since someone has been plotting for a long time, Zhang Han can't be more careful.

The Tun Commander was nothing more than a junior officer. There were only fifty men under his command. Tai Shici said calmly, not impressed, but Cen Tao looked at him highly. Cen Tao naturally knew that the pro-army was used to train middle- and low-level officers, and the content of study and training was taken from ethnology, and the future was immeasurable.

In May of the first year of Chuping (190), in the four days from the fifth to the eighth day of the first month, Cen Tao commanded the soldiers and horses, attacked everywhere, and cleanly exterminated the five powerful families, all of whom had bad means, bad reputation, and great public anger. Among them, there is Liu Ping of Xichangping. Cen Tao failed to find the source of the rumors, and casually put the charge on Liu Ping's head. accused Liu Ping of spreading rumors and plotting against him. Liu Ping also tried his best to keep these things secret, and only arranged them through the housekeeper, and there were few people in the know. And these people all died in the fight, Cen Tao didn't know that he was crooked.

In addition to not mentioning land annexation, Cen Tao fabricated all kinds of crimes, from murder and arson, bullying men and women, colluding with bandits, to gathering people to form a party, plotting against the law, and came up with conclusive evidence. Honestly, it's not that hard. To paraphrase a sentence from later generations, all these heroes are pulled out and executed one by one, and there must be wronged, and if one is executed one by one, then there will be those who slip through the net. Therefore, even if there is no sparrow to provide information, after the extermination, Cen Tao can collect enough evidence.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Yes, yes, let you bother for a long time, Cen Tao, this kid, I can't imagine that he would do such a thing, I will definitely punish him severely......"

"Oh, that's not necessary, Cen Taishou is also eager for the people, and he is just in a hurry......"

Sun Songci's eyebrows were kind, and his long hair hung down softly on his chest three times.

"You don't have to send it, old man farewell!"

Sent a well-respected and well-known celebrity out of the gate again, Zhang Han stood at the door, and it was not until the car was far away that he turned around and entered the state pastor's mansion.

After a brief period of silence, the Qingzhou scholars rebounded extremely strongly. Especially after discovering Zhang Han's extreme humility, famous people from all over the world came one after another, some tactful, some tough, some impassioned, some regretful, some pointed out the country, and some made suggestions...... Speaking of which, what Cen Tao does is always wrong, no, and no.

Zhang Han reassured him with kind words, claiming that Cen Tao's actions may be debatable -- this may not be able to deceive smart people, but it is still possible to deceive most people, and at the same time, this is also a gesture of reconciliation. As a result, more and more people came, and their fame became bigger and bigger, and it seemed that they were destroying the enemy and turning the tide at this moment. Zhang Han is also very cooperative, and to this day, Zhang Han has begun to declare that he will not slack off in severe punishment.

Straightened up, Zhang Han stretched his waist, he really didn't know what to do, he harmed his own interests, and seeing that there was no danger, he hugged him in one go. It seems that it's almost over, and if it goes on like this, he won't be able to stand it.

Beating his sore waist, Zhang Han strolled to the inner courtyard. Thinking that the hard days were coming to an end, Zhang Han's steps were a little brisker. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to return to his residence, there was a faint cry. Zhang Han then remembered that there was still a trouble at home.

Among the five heroes disposed of by Cen Tao, there is one person who happens to be surnamed Wang Mingyu, who is Wang Yan's uncle, although he is not his own uncle, but also the cousin of the same Gaozu, this is crying miserably, it is Wang Yu's own sister who rushed to complain, Zhang Han saw it, and called her aunt.

Zhang Han only felt a headache, and quickly turned around and changed directions. Such a woman's family can't beat him, and it doesn't make sense, so he has to retreat.

"Cen Yuanbo, what's going on?"

Wang Yan's tone is not good, no wonder she is angry, Zhang Han can also hide under the pretext of official business, she can't hide, no matter how old she is, she is an elder. After connecting for several days, listening to people crying every day, Wang Yan knew the general situation again, and his heart was not happy.

"Yuanbo, he's a good person......"

Zhang Han knew where her qi came from, and he didn't say anything about her, he gently held his wife in his arms, and his fingers massaged the acupuncture points on her head slightly. In his mouth, Cen Tao was portrayed as a self-sacrificing, selfless, and righteous man

The country is for the people...... of the sages. There are a lot of things to say in the massage, but Zhang Han didn't press it casually, but the acupuncture points were more accurate than ordinary people. However, with her husband's careful care, Wang Yan's mood also improved a lot. Lying in her husband's arms, Wang Yan didn't speak, listening to Zhang Han's nonsense.

Wang Yan is also thirty-one years old this year, she is very well maintained, rarely use fat powder, so that her skin is delicate and smooth, only the corners of the eyes are slightly wrinkled, the whole person still looks like a plump beauty.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After pacifying the family, Zhang Han also felt that he should retreat, it was late May, and it would be bad if it couldn't be delayed any longer, and the exchange of official documents should be almost the same. So, Cen Tao soon got the news that he didn't have a few days left in the plain, what was there to do, he had to hurry up, the board that should be played should be played quickly, and the case that should be solved should be broken quickly. Cen Tao also lived up to expectations, flesh and blood flew in the yamen every day, and he had been described as a pest on the plains.

Therefore, when Xun Yan rushed to Pingyuan City and took over Cen Tao's Pingyuan Minister, it was understandable that Pingyuan City was thunderous. Immediately afterwards, Xun Yan sealed the land documents, released a group of prisoners, and declared that he was not guilty of the previous land annexation. Of course, he also announced that if he recidived again in the future, he would be severely punished. However, not many people take the latter to heart. It's always the way it is said.

Subsequently, Zhang Han announced that Qingzhou would be exempted from land rent and forced labor this year. The exemption from land rent is mainly a gesture of goodwill to the family. The land rent in the Han Kingdom is very low. There is only thirty taxes and one, and ordinary people only have four or five stones a year. But the big families who own a lot of land will benefit greatly.

According to the custom, all adult men who do not meet the exemption regulations must serve one month of compulsory labor every year to build roads, water conservancy, and cities. But. Local officials also often use them to do some private work, which is also a common practice in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, needless to say. It's just that in this way, the time of conscription was extended a lot, and in Qingzhou at that time, the average civilian was between one and a half months to two months a year. This is for the average person. It is a great burden. It can be said that the exemption from forced labor is more important than the exemption from land rent. Taken together, ordinary people have reduced their expenditure by more than a dozen stones at once.

Therefore, the tax exemption order, the six counties of Qingzhou are happy and everyone praises them. You must know that the heroes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and they didn't fight much, but the soldiers didn't recruit less, and each of them had tens of thousands of people. War is about money. Everywhere there was a need for a large number of husbands and servants, and countless amounts of grain were to be levied. In the past of long-distance transportation, the consumption of land on the road is often several times more than the transportation of grain and grass.

People like Sun Jian, Wang Kuang and others don't care about the local situation. It is to ask for food, people, and all those who dare not pay according to the number will be punished with a heavy sentence. Sun Jian killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi for this reason, and Wang Kuang did not break his family, who dared to disobey his fate. There are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom, and the heads of the local officials matter, and who cares what year the taxes are received. If you receive a little extra comfort to comfort yourself, you will have a conscience.

Speaking of which. I have to say one thing. Sun Jian is the Taishou of Changsha, crossing the border to ask for food, giving is a favor, not giving is his duty, how can it not be his turn to deal with Nanyang Taishou. To put it bluntly, the same rebellious thieves.

Zhang Han was able to exempt the two taxes, not on a whim, but on a whim. Qingzhou's annual land rent tax is about 600 stones, and Zhang Han confiscated the land property of eunuchs, He Jin and others, took over the emperor's private land, plus the displaced people's land, his official land in his hands exceeded 200,000 hectares - the largest landlord in Qingzhou, the yield per mu is three ~ four stones, fifty percent; Eleven million stones. It is precisely because of this income that Zhang Han is able to waive the land rent.

Note that Zhang Han's exempt land is the official land rent of 30 taxes per Chinese New Year's Eve, which is a tax levied on farmland, and this 50% is the land rent in the literal sense. And this fifty percent rent, Zhang Han is impossible to exempt. It is not a good thing that Qingzhou people are jealous of the displaced people. Zhang Han wants to win the hearts and minds of the people, not to pull one faction to fight another. If the contradictions between the people of Qingzhou and the people are intensified, the gains outweigh the losses.

As for the exemption from forced labor, it is similar. Every year, the number of displaced people who flock to Qingzhou is between 400,000 and 500,000. Zhang Han organized them into exiled people's tun, but he would not immediately have land to settle them, and they needed to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland by themselves. Generally speaking, displaced people will serve one to two years of hard labor under unified command and management. Then, you can get your own piece of rented official land. In other words, Zhang Han does not need Qingzhou people to serve as conscripts, so he has manpower.

Of course, this does not mean that the exemption from land rent and forced labor has no impact on Zhang Han. Zhang Han has a lot of income and a lot of expenses. Every year, if the displaced people are not resettled, they need to consume seven or eight million stone of grain. In short, the richer Zhang Han became, the more money he felt needed. This is the same paradox as later generations, the richer people are, the more they feel poor. It's just that in order to buy people's hearts, Zhang Han feels that this price is worth paying.

In addition, Zhang Han also worked hard to promote advanced agricultural technology and increase the yield of grain per mu in Qingzhou. To improve people's livelihood, tax exemption alone is not enough.

Since the beginning of the year, Zhang Han has never recruited a large number of people and assigned them to various counties and townships to serve as Litian.

Litian is similar to the three elders of the township, there is no rank, no official rank, let's be regarded as a small official in the township. Litian is a person who is good at farming, and his main responsibility is to persuade farmers to farm and promote advanced farming techniques. However, the person who is now serving as Litian basically does not play the role at the beginning of the setting, and it is only one of the ways to become an official.

Scholars who don't study are naturally unwilling to be such small officials, and Zhang Han is unlikely to provide them with very generous treatment. Therefore, almost all of the recruited personnel were not gilded by the descendants of the Zhang family.

Litian doesn't need to have much knowledge, he can read and write, know some etiquette, and he won't leak stuffing when dealing with people every day. Therefore, Zhang Han only transferred sixty-five tun chiefs from the homeless tun to take charge of this matter. There is a tun chief in each county, and those who go down to each township are all subordinates of the family.

However, over the years, the basic education of the Zhang family has not been relaxed, and most of these people are selected from the corrections, all of whom are in their twenties and have some work experience.

Most of these litians will live with gentlemen from schools everywhere, if any. If not, they also double as Mr. Duan, teaching the children simple words and counting. As for the cultivated methods promoted, Zhang Han did not add any restrictions. In the Book of Victory, in addition to advanced agricultural machinery, it is basically included.

Zhang Han is ready to lease the land of the Force Fields and carry out farming, that is, to promote agricultural technology through demonstration fields. However, even so, there is no five~seven, and the state is popular.

Zhang Han used so many manpower, and it would take so long, so he was not too worried about the outflow of agricultural technology. Wait until all regions understand this technology and then promote it, and Qingzhou military construction will be over.
