Chapter IV Details

"My lord is right, so I will move on to the second question, agriculture. There is no shortage of land in my Lujiang County, even if nearly half of the land is occupied by the family, the remaining land is still enough for the people to cultivate. Moreover, there are still a lot of wasteland in Lujiang, as long as it is slightly transformed, it is fertile land, and the new people in Lujiang can gather them to reclaim fertile land. First, the government gave each of them enough to live until the next harvest, and provided them with seeds, shelter, and basic necessities. The reclaimed land belongs to us for the time being, and when they continue to work for five years, we only need to pay taxes when we give them the reclaimed land. ”

"My current agricultural tax in Lujiang is very high, seven out of ten, and now it's better to lower it a little, ten taxes and six are about the same. However, a little preferential treatment can be given in the first year of the newly cultivated fields, and the specific situation depends on the harvest. ”

"Third, there is the issue of soldiers. Our Lujiang County now has 55,000 soldiers on the surface, but in fact it is estimated that there are less than 50,000, and the ages are uneven, and the combat effectiveness is very low. Therefore, I believe that the soldiers should be re-recruited, and by the way, the current unqualified soldiers should be eliminated. ”

"Fourth, the issue of officials. Most of the officials are from families, but there are still many children from poor families, and we can kick out some officials with poor political performance and bad conduct, and use more children from poor families. As for the corruption in the past, we can not pursue any of them, but if they are discovered in the future, we will be severely punished. ”

"I've thought about it so much for the time being, and I ask the lord to decide."

Liu Xun thought carefully for a moment and nodded: "What Mr. said is good, but now the top priority is to hold the military power first, and with the military power, everything becomes simple." ”

"Also, those soldiers, I will pull them all out and select, and those unqualified soldiers will all be kicked out, and the initial lean army will be streamlined."

"With the reduction of soldiers, I will definitely save a lot of money and food for soldiers, and I will improve the treatment of elite soldiers who have been screened from them."

"The lord is wise!"

As soon as Liu Xun's words fell, Liu Panjin said excitedly. At this moment, Liu Panjin was excited from the bottom of his heart, and his lord finally came to the road.

Then Liu Panjin said euphemistically: "Although the lord said so, but the reduction of soldiers will touch the interests of many people, I hope that the lord will act step by step!" ”

Liu Xun solemnly waved his hand and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, I naturally know this." But these are troubled times, and I don't have much time to prepare. Next, I will vigorously develop Lujiang, and there will definitely be no chaotic situation when the military power is in hand, and Mr. will believe me. ”

Although Liu Panjin was still a little worried, seeing Liu Xun's firm expression, he could only sigh and say: "Just follow the lord, it's a big deal to take my old life to accompany you." ”

Seeing Liu Panjin with a solemn face, Liu Xun was naturally very moved in his heart. It seems that he finally has someone around him who can be trusted.

"There is something that Mr. needs to do for me at present, and please don't blame Mr." Liu Xun said very politely

"The lord doesn't have to be so polite, if there is anything you still ask the lord to order, your subordinates will do their best to complete it."

"It's not a big deal, now the household registration population statistics of Lujiang County are very chaotic, and there are many mistakes, I would like to ask Mr. to recompile the household registration for me and recount the population of Lujiang County, of course, including the displaced people who come to Lujiang County in the future. I will set aside a piece of land for these displaced people to cultivate. As for the specific arrangement, it is up to you to figure it out. Liu Xun Zhengse said

"Subordinates obey orders" Liu Panjin agreed without any hesitation.

"Oh, by the way, whose hands are the account books of Lujiang County now, I want to see the financial situation of Lujiang County." Liu Xun suddenly thought of his fat cousin. Liu Xun was very suspicious of his character, and eating so fat must have embezzled his money and food.

"Yes, it's all in my hands, and the lord wants to see it, so I'll get it now." Liu Panjin replied happily when he saw Liu Xun so motivated.

"Then trouble sir, I'll wait here for sir."

"Okay, then let's go down and get the ledger first." Liu Panjin arched his hand and said

"Well, go ahead"

。。。。。。

Liu Panjin saw that the lord was so motivated, so naturally he quickly took the account books of the entire Lujiang County.

Liu Xun asked Liu Panjin to wait on the side, ready to let him solve his doubts directly if he didn't understand. Liu Panjin happily accepted the order.

Liu Xun asked the maid to prepare a little wine and snacks for herself, and sat down quietly under the surprised eyes of everyone. Liu Xun was sipping wine and eating snacks. While checking the account book of the county guard's mansion, Liu Panjin next to him saw that Liu Xun was really looking at the account book seriously, and he was very curious, he really couldn't figure out why the lord was interested in looking at the accounts of the mansion today. Although surprised, Liu Panjin was still happy, after all, Liu Xun has always been obsessed with lustful dogs and horses, and he likes to work hard. I usually never ask about these trivial things, and they are tossed by the villains below.

Liu Xun looked at the military degree with a calm face, and when he looked at the military degree, his mouth suddenly opened wide. Incredibly, he looked up at Liu Panjin and asked angrily: "Panjin, the use of this army is obviously more than thirty percent, why is this, where did all the money go?" ”

"Well, my lord。。。。。。 This" Liu Panjin was asked by the lord, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Say, what the hell is going on?" Liu Xun saw that Liu Panjin didn't make a sound, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the account book, the more he looked at Liu Xun, the more angry he became, this was obviously greedy for military salaries. Such an obvious thing actually concealed himself, the master of Lujiang County?

"No matter what, we must rectify and recover this money and grain." Liu Xun secretly made up his mind. Seeing that Liu Panjin still bowed his head and remained silent, Liu Xun saw that he was loyal to him, temporarily suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice again:

"What the hell is going on, you say?"

In the face of Liu Xun's questioning, Liu Panjin was also a little confused for a while, and in desperation, he could only whisper: "My lord, it is Li Wei who came to receive the military degree, General Li, General Li is the cousin of the lord, and the lord said before that as long as it is the military use that General Li came to receive, he will not be discounted." So we 。。。。。。 ”

"Whew~~" Liu Xun let out a sigh of relief, trying to calm the surging air in his chest, and wanted to slap his face hard. It's no wonder that his predecessor is so miserable, even if this style is not destroyed in the hands of Sun Ce, it will also be destroyed in his own hands.

"But Li Wei is so ridiculously greedy for military salaries, why didn't anyone come to remind Ben Taishou? Is it so hard that none of my subordinates are loyal to Bentai? Of course, Liu Xun didn't want to admit that this was his own problem, so he asked with a stiff neck
