Tom ......"

There was a rush of footsteps, and the footsteps stopped when they came to the door, and then someone slammed the door......

"Who?!"

Xu You's sleeping Zhengxiang was suddenly woken up, and he couldn't help but be angry from his heart, and asked in a vicious voice. The maid sleeping next to him was also awakened, sixteen or seventeen years old was the time for snooze, she turned over in a daze, covered her ears, revealing a large area of white skin and greasy, the red buds trembled slightly with the snow mound, and Xu You's eyes were staring at it......

Pity! There was no time, and when he woke up, Xu You immediately heard many voices, low commands, noisy shouts, and scattered footsteps, and he quickly judged that the situation was not good. With a wry smile, Xu Yu kneaded the tempting fruit twice, and ordered the maid who woke up in pain to serve him and dress.

"I don't know which general is coming, please wait a while......"

Xu You stretched out his arms and put on his sleeves as he spoke loudly.

The slamming of the door stopped, and a man said aloud:

"Xu Ziyuan, Lord Zhang Qingzhou, please, please change your clothes as soon as possible!"

Hearing this voice, Xu You knew that the person who came was Zhang Han's pro-army colonel, Tai Shici, and one of the people who could be used by Zhang Han's subordinates. Xu You was a little relieved, thinking that Zhang Han still attached great importance to him. The identity of the person who comes is a little bit, and there will be a sense of proportion. If the person who came was an unknown official, I am afraid that his fate would be extremely sad.

Walk among the soldiers. Xu You behaved leisurely and talked and laughed freely. Under the cover of calmness, his mind was churning. Tai Shi Ci was tight-lipped, he didn't hear any news. What happened, Zhang Han's attitude has changed dramatically. Xu Yu knew early that there would be risks in his trip.

Of course, judging from Zhang Han's actions and character, Xu Yu judged that the risk was not great. Otherwise. He's not coming. Facts have proved that Xu You's judgment was not wrong. In Lin, he received a reception worthy of his status. With good eloquence, he fought with his tongue and said that Zhang Han's staff were speechless. Zhang Han just smiled and didn't take it to heart. The teaching of the Great Han Kingdom was prevalent and the question system was difficult. It is the lecturer who stands on top of it and allows the crowd to ask all kinds of questions. Therefore, the famous people of the Han Kingdom have excellent eloquence. However, Zhang Han has his own opinions in his heart, and he is not a person who can be moved by words.

Sitting in the carriage and listening to the sound of the wheels crushing on the bluestone road, Xu You fell into deep thought.

During the Guanghe period, Xu Yu had been to Qingzhou, and the prosperity and cleanliness of Linzhou and its strong academic atmosphere were not its rich. All left a deep impression on him. To this day, war has swept through the prefectures of Sili and the Kanto region. Qingzhou is still the same. From the withered and chaotic state, into the safe and orderly Qingzhou. The contrast is so stark that you can't help but relax. It's a pity that although Liang Yuan is good, it is not his hometown. When Xu You was enjoying peace, he was also carefully observing Qingzhou, estimating the war potential of Qingzhou and Zhang Han's possible mentality.

Xu Yu was the most envious and worried. It is the population of Qingzhou, in short, one word - "more". Similar to Ji and other states. The scene of hundreds of miles of desolation and uninhabited people is absolutely not seen in Qingzhou. It is said that the population of Donglai is smaller, there is a village of 100 miles, Xu You has not seen it, he traveled all the way, and the villages are only twenty or thirty miles away at most. On both sides of the road, fertile fields can be seen everywhere. This inevitably makes Xu You always speculate, how many people are in Qingzhou? Seven million, eight million, or ten million...... Thinking of this number, Xu You suddenly felt a headache, how many troops can be recruited?

Zhang Han strictly ruled the law, bought the hearts of the people, and his plans were not trivial. However, Zhang Han seems to have no plans to go west for the time being, which also makes Xu You feel a little comforted. However, every time I think that Qingzhou can summon a million troops at any time, this comfort disappears without a trace, and it should really be like Cao Cao's suggestion - return to the east and point directly at Qingzhou......

"Xu Ziyuan, you said that Yuan Benchu intended to reconcile with Qingzhou, so can you explain what is going on?"

From the distorted and deformed head, Xu You vaguely recognized the shadow of Yidi, Xu You was shocked, and said dryly:

"......, I don't understand what the general means......"

"Xu Ziyuan, Yi pretended to be the Jizhou army and attacked my Qingzhou envoy team, what do you have to say......

"Is this the righteous general? I don't know him......"

Xu You was shocked and angry, and he didn't forget to clear himself first. Shockingly, righteousness was beheaded in battle. And the anger is that this operation has undoubtedly greatly increased his risk. Immediately, he pushed the matter.

"Besides, General Yi is Han Fu's favorite general, what does it have to do with my lord...... I want to see Zhang Qingzhou, I have something important to say......"

Zhang Chao sneered, "The lord is busy with big things, where do I have time to see you, come here, drag him down for me......"

After a pause, Zhang Chaocai continued: "Have a good trial......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

“…… At the beginning of the year, the tax was reduced, and this year's income will be much less, and it is estimated that 110,000 yuan will be levied less only for the additional payment (i.e., the substitute service money......"

Before carrying out major events, Zhang Han is used to taking stock of his money and food. After gathering the people, Shu Cao was the first to speak.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Han announced: tax reduction. In the three counties of one state under his rule, the tax situation of all the people is as follows:

First, the land rent, that is, the agricultural tax, is levied in kind on a per mu, which is still 30 taxes and 1;

second, the oral tax, that is, the poll tax, 23 yuan for each person from seven to fourteen years old, fifteen 120;

third, calculate, that is, property tax, 126 yuan per 10,000 yuan;

fourth, city rent, i.e., commercial tax;

Fifth, the Guanjin tax, that is, the city gate tax, etc., will be collected at one time, and will not be collected repeatedly;

Sixth, the liquor tax, which is heavily taxed on grain wine - ten cents per liter, and on non-grain wines such as fruit wine - four cents per liter;

Seventh, other taxes, including salt and iron taxes, fishery taxes, and labor taxes;

In addition, all miscellaneous taxes were abolished, for example, the tax on six animals - the tax must be paid if the family raises six animals, Zhang Han exempted it, and paid the market rent when it was sold, and paid it every year when it was not sold.

Generally speaking, Zhang Han's policy of reducing taxes and taxes is welcomed by the people of Qingzhou. With a simple calculation, we can know that the burden of the people of Qingzhou is at least half less than that of Emperor Ling in the last years. Compared with the reality that other states and counties are raising taxes, there is really nothing unacceptable for Qingzhou people. Of course, if Zhang Han does not restore the conscription system, it will be more popular.

In this year, Zhang Han simply abolished forced labor. During the war, some people in Qingzhou were homeless, and Zhang Han did not need anyone to work for free. However, Zhang Han resumed his military service and introduced a universal conscription system in Qingzhou. All must serve two years of military service when they reach the age of twenty. Like the pre-Qin and Western Han dynasties, one year of the main battle and one year of the battle of the garrison -- the only son served two years of the main battle and did not need to guard the border. Thereafter, he served for two months every four years, until he reached the age of forty-two. In other words, every adult man needs to serve in the military for two years and ten months in his life.

Of course, Zhang Han also stipulated: If you have an infectious disease, or a disease that is not suitable for military service, you can also be exempted from military service. However, those who are exempt from military service need to pay a substitute service fee - between 20~42, 2000 yuan per year. Moreover, a person who is exempted from military service may not serve as an official until the age of 30.

Conscription system, only at the beginning of the second year of Chuping (190), Zhang Han conscripted ten? Conscription system, only at the beginning of the second year of Chuping (190), Zhang Han conscripted ten? Conscription system, only at the beginning of the second year of Chuping (190), Zhang Han conscripted ten? Conscription system, only at the beginning of the second year of Chuping (190), Zhang Han conscripted ten? Conscription system, only at the beginning of the second year of the first peace (190), Zhang Han conscripted ten troops to cooperate with Zhang Han's reorganization of the army last year, the weak and the strong, the number of Qingzhou troops did not fall but rose, and the total strength increased to 210,000. In addition, there are more than 30,000 Tuntian soldiers and 13,000 navy soldiers.

At the same time, Zhang Han also gradually professionalized the Qingzhou Army. In addition to two stone of grain per person per month, four sets of clothes per year, 3.6 buckets of salt, a small amount of toiletries, and pension fields and other regular treatments, Qing can also get military salaries, 300 per month, 450 months for a middle stroke, and 600 yuan for a month

"As for the pension fields and military salaries, frankly, I do not agree with it, which greatly increases military spending. In the past, Qingzhou's revenue and expenditure were basically balanced. However, this year, 35~470,000 yuan was already undercharged, which is an expenditure of hundreds of thousands, which is no less than worse......

Moreover, since the second half of last year, more and more displaced people have poured into Qingzhou, and the number of displaced people who have not yet been resettled has accumulated more than one million people, and the expenditure on resettlement of displaced people this year will increase significantly, and it is expected to exceed 20 million stone ......."

Xiang Feng deliberately paused to deepen everyone's impression. Qingzhou received only 40 million stone of grain last year, in other words, half of it will be used to feed the displaced people this year.

This miser, Zhang Han was angry and funny, he knocked on the table:

"Zicheng. Getting to the point! ”

"Yes!" Xiang Feng's voice became cheerful, "Despite many difficulties, we still managed to break even.

Juntun is the most important source of income growth, and so far, more than 50,000 hectares of land have been cultivated in Juntun, which is expected to make up for most of the new expenditure......

Let's put it this way, plus the cost of this war. It's definitely going to be beyond your means......"

Needless to say, Zhang Han also knew that if it were not for the money and food accumulated by the Zhang family over the years, Zhang Han would not dare to reduce taxes so drastically. With the support of Tuntian, Qingzhou can maintain a basic balance of income and expenditure, and he is satisfied. And. Pension field or something, Zhang Han had long planned to come out of Jizhou. In contrast, Jizhou is vast and sparsely populated, there is a lot of uncultivated land, and land is the favorite of the people of the time, Zhang Han also likes to reward land, no need to pay for food, and can also increase taxes.

"Zhong Zhuo!"

Zhang Chao was engaged in military training, and in Qingzhou, Bingcao no longer directly involved in military affairs, but mainly focused on recruit training and logistics equipment. He cleared his throat:

"Seventy percent of the new recruits have completed three months of new soldier training......"

Seventy percent of the soldiers were seventy-five thousand. In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Zhang Han adopted the means of bringing the old with the new. Except for a few Wu Chang and a very small number of Shi Chang. The rest of the officers were all veterans. During the last month of the boot training camp, these officers were sent to serve as instructors to train with the recruits. These measures have greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Forces nouvelles.

"However, the new pawns are new pawns after all, except for a small number of excellent soldiers, most of the new pawns are used to defend the city, in attack and field battles. The combat power that can be used is limited......"

This is also an inevitable result. However, after searching for the weak and remaining strong. In the near future, the Qingzhou army can dispatch troops from the original 80,000 to 60,000, and Zhang Han intends to equip 20,000 new troops to cooperate with the regular army to complete auxiliary work such as garrisoning the city and escorting grain and grass. The remaining army consisted of 40,000 regular troops and nearly 90,000 new troops, which was enough to cope with it. However, leading such an army, facing either side, Zhang Han was sure and won the battle. However, when faced with a two-sided attack, the odds are reduced to five to five.

In such a meeting, in which all the officials involved, the military plan would not be discussed. Zhang Chao hastily described the general situation of the new pawn, announced that he had completed the preparations and could go out at any time, so he would not elaborate.

Zhang Han may not be unclear about these things, but first, he is used to this, and secondly, it can also boost morale.

"Yuan Shao is disloyal and unfilial, he is the culprit of the world, he pretends to be the general of the Che Cavalry, and recently pretended to reconcile with my Qingzhou, I thought he intended to change, but I didn't expect that Yuan Shao secretly sent righteousness, pretending to be the Jizhou army to attack my Qingzhou scum, this kind of evil deeds, bamboo is difficult to write......"

Zhang Han said it impassionedly, and everyone immediately understood that this was a crusade against Yuan Shao. Truth be told, that's to be expected. Not to mention, Zhang Han scolded Yuan Shao so hard, Yuan Shao would not let him go. Don't do it now, wait for when. However, some people feel that it is not appropriate to do this, and they need to find a more honest reason. Just when the atmosphere was brewing in everyone, those who wanted to persuade themselves, those who wanted to go along with them, and those who wanted to find reasons were all ready.

Zhang Han changed his words, lifted Yuan Shao high, and put it down lightly in a blink of an eye, saying that although Yuan Shao was a heinous crime, the Black Mountain thieves colluded with Hun Yufuluo to poison the people for Kou Jiyan, and there were priorities, so he had no choice but to abandon his previous suspicions with the 'culprit' and put the people of the world first.

Zhang Han's words are very? Wordy, bright and fair, righteous and awe-inspiring, belittled Yuan Shao, and elevated himself, but all in all, it is a sentence, the Qingzhou Army is going to send troops to Jizhou to help exterminate the Black Mountain thieves.

Of course, no matter how generous Zhang Han said, no one here will believe it. To put it bluntly, the Qingzhou army exterminated the Taishan thieves last time, and they didn't bring Taishan County back.

Zhang Han first said that Yuan Shao would then talk about the thieves, and clearly conveyed his meaning - the Qingzhou Army went out this time to aim directly at Yuan Shao. However, although everyone understands that under the guise of suppressing bandits, no one can say no.

Since he was going to send troops to Jizhou, according to the plan discussed earlier, Zhang Han assigned an envoy to Gefang. The one who went to the county to see Han Fu naturally had to be a drama talent; went to Anping to see Gongsun Zhan, and Zhang Han was assigned to work in Lu Hui.

Lu Hui, whose name is Song, is Lu Zhi's second son. In the sixth year of Zhongping, Zhang Han sent someone to take Lu Zhi's family to Qingzhou and settle them in Buqi. Lu Zhi has four sons, Lu Hui is relatively talented, so Zhang Han took it as a career and did something with Zhang Jian.

Envoy Gongsun, Zhang Han really didn't think of a suitable candidate. Wu Zifang has always had a relationship with Gongsun, and it was best for him to go. However, Wu Zifang guarded Mount Tai, and Zhang Han was reluctant to him, so Zhang Jian recommended Lu Hui. Zhang Han asked him a few words, and felt that he had clear thinking and eloquence, so he chose him. No matter what, for the sake of Lu Zhi's face, Gongsun Chan will never embarrass him.

; _ Zhou and Yuan Shao, Zhang Han is not ready to send envoys. The two sides are on the verge of breaking out, and there is really no need to waste the lives of his subordinates. As for collecting intelligence, there is no need to send someone to Zhang Han, who has been prepared for a long time. But Zhang Han intended to send someone to Xuzhou. The relationship between Qingzhou and Xuzhou is not good, but it is not too bad. There is a little smell of gunpowder on both sides, and tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Kaiyang and Jiqiudu. Zhang Han did not mobilize troops and horses from there at this time, and the relationship between the two sides can be seen. However, the two sides did not tear their faces after all, and Zhang Han hoped to stabilize Xuzhou temporarily.

chose to be engaged in the engagement, Zhang Han really didn't find out, who was familiar with Tao Qian, and in the end, Zhang Han chose to engage in Wang An. Wang An has followed Zhang Han for many years, his status is not low, and he has a good grasp of proportion, and Zhang Han can rest assured that he will leave things to him. Anyway, it's not very dangerous.

In May of the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Hanxing had 80,000 soldiers, known as 100,000, and entered Jizhou to crusade against the Montenegrin thieves.
