Time is like flowing water, and it always sneaks away without realizing it, in a blink of an eye. Chengfeng has been back in Changshan for ten days, and the people of Changshan can be regarded as officially knowing their Taishou, but they are a little worried, such a young Taishou, I don't know if they will manage, as long as they don't mess around, anyway, whoever is in charge is the same! Cheng Feng was still worried that the last incident would have an impact on the people, and he was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, but the result was that the mud cow entered the sea, and there was not even a wave, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This official is really unpopular." It seems that we have to speed up the construction, otherwise we won't be able to do anything when winter comes! ”

"Call everyone over today, firstly, for everyone to have a meal together and have a good chat, and secondly, to discuss the future development of Changshan, and everyone brainstorm!" Cheng Feng didn't greet Zhao Yun and the others at all.

"Big brother, what are you eating?" Zhao Yun asked, not only Zhao Yun, but even Tian Yu and Zhang Liao were at a loss, looking at a cauldron on the table, there was a shelf next to it, which was full of all kinds of wild vegetables, green vegetables, and a lot of meat, "Yes, lord, this is not a marching war, why do you still put this military cauldron on the shelf?" Zhang Liao also asked

"Haha, you don't understand this, this is a new way to eat that I invented, this is called hot pot!" Chengfeng was ashamed to take this patent.

"Hot pot?" Several people looked at each other,

"That's right! Come on, come on, sit down, I've been busy for most of the day! Cheng Feng beckoned a few people to sit down, stirring the thick soup in the pot, and instructed, "Serve a few adults with dipping sauce and wine, and you guys hurry up and cut that meat into thin slices for me!" After speaking, Cheng Feng looked at the soup in the pot, so he put a large plate of mutton into it, and the pot was rolling, and Cheng Feng shouted, "Quick, hurry up and take it out and eat it, it's not delicious when it's old."

A few people thought that they didn't know if it was delicious or not, or give it a face, if it really didn't work, eat less, or else this would be too much of a loss for adults, with the mentality of giving it a try, a few people began to move chopsticks, this mouthful, full of oil, fat but not greasy, exploded in an instant, "Ah! It's so fragrant! Han Yong blurted out.

"It's so delicious, how did you do it, big brother?" Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but ask

"Haha, I'll talk about it later, eat first and eat first." Cheng Feng said with a smile, it was originally a group of strong men, and it was the first time to eat hot pot, and he unconsciously ate half a sheep and a few baskets of vegetables. At first, these people were embarrassed to eat, but in the end, the more they ate, the more excited they became. I couldn't take it anymore, and I only ate and drank and burped.

"Lord, what the hell are you doing here?" Han Yong asked while rubbing his stomach, and the eyes of the other people who asked this lit up, and they all moved their ears to listen

"Haha, it's very simple, just add some condiments to the soup, just put meat and vegetables shabu-shabu, that is, you have to master the heat and condiments, and this dipping sauce is also a unique secret recipe, just take some fat meat and fry the sauce!" Cheng Feng said proudly

"It's as simple as that?" Tian Yu was a little surprised,

"That's right, the point is in this soup, you can make it a few more times!" Cheng Feng smiled, sighing in his heart, it is still this pollution-free delicious, no hormones, no additives, everything is original, it is really fragrant! The fly in the ointment is that there are not many condiments, and there are fewer types of vegetables, it seems that the water army has to be developed, and it will go to other places to find vegetables in the future.

"Full, full, not eating. I can't even walk on the road! Zhao Yun said

"Haha, then let's go talk, a few of you, change the pot of soup, call the guys in the house, and continue to eat. Let's go to the front room! "Cheng Feng Dao,

"Thank you, sir," said the servants

"Everyone, please take a seat," Cheng Feng beckoned a few people in the hall to sit down, and asked, "I wonder what you plan to do next?" "I am mostly reflecting and setting the tone now, as for how to act, it still depends on everyone, after all, only people of the same era are most suitable for the development of that era.

"Lord, it's almost winter, there is no way to farm, there is no way to repair the city, you can only train and recruit soldiers." Several people glanced at each other, and Han Yong said first

"Well, I know about this, and I called a few people here to discuss the future, the development of the next few years or even decades, not this winter." Cheng Feng said to Han Yong with a smile, causing everyone to laugh, Han Yong scratched his head, "I... Oops, I'm just a rough man, you see, he's a shame now. Han Yong said embarrassedly

"Haha. Lord Han's pure heart, honest person, what is there to be ashamed of! Zhang Liao comforted

"Well, yes, Lord Han doesn't have to worry." Zhao Yun also said

"That's it!" Tian Yu said with a smile, "Lord, our Changshan is located in the hinterland of the Taiping Sect, and it will definitely not be too stable in the future, so it will not be possible to develop according to common sense in the past few years, now we have more soldiers and less food, we now have a total of 20,000 soldiers, I think it is too much, even in Dahan, I think it is the most in each county, so the conscription can be suspended." The ancients were not much more expensive, and the next thing was to train the soldiers, if they were all trained to become elite soldiers. I think it will be enough to sweep Jizhou, and when the time comes, if you continue to recruit soldiers, you will be able to keep it! Tian Yu's words won everyone's agreement

"Yes, there are more soldiers now, but there are too few weapons, most of the soldiers are trained with wooden sticks and farm tools, and even the five thousand cavalry, only eight hundred people have weapons, let alone battle armor! That's a big problem! Zhao Yun said

"Yes, most soldiers can only touch weapons when they are training, this is a problem, but now there is another problem, that is, grain and grass, half of Changshan is too small, the population is insufficient, now we have more than 80,000 people, to support 20,000 soldiers and more than 5,000 war horses, this proportion is also very large. I'm afraid that the taxes will be high, and the people won't be able to survive. Han Yong was also worried

"20,000 soldiers? Why are there so many, wasn't it only eight thousand a few days ago? Cheng Feng heard this. I couldn't help but be stunned, I still remember that when I counted a few days ago, there were still more than 8,000 soldiers.

"Haha, Lord Wenyuan went to recruit soldiers, the enthusiasm of the people is very high, if it weren't for the lord who only needs 20,000 soldiers, I'm afraid this young man would have to come." Haha," Tian Yu quipped

"Oh! Haha, yes, yes, good thing! Cheng Feng smiled,

"Alas! Even so, there are still a lot of people who wander around the barracks every day because they are late, looking for an opportunity to become soldiers? Zhang Liao said helplessly

"Well, this is a problem, the problem of weapons, we still have iron tools, farm tools, you look at this, let's pick out the elite soldiers first, distribute weapons, Zilong and Wen Yuan continue to take them around to loot Zhang Jiao's transport team, in short, no matter what he transports, pull it back for me," Cheng Feng said with a smile

"This can be used, it can also play the role of training, and it can also be replaced by soldiers, so it is more than one stone!" Tian Yu was overjoyed

"Well, that's right, as for the looted things, if there are iron tools, they will be divided into two, half to make farm tools, and half to make weapons." Cheng Feng proposed

"This, I'm just afraid that the court will interfere!" Tian Yu said worriedly

"It doesn't matter! I went to the capital this time to ask for the holy will, we just need to let go and do it! Cheng Feng said with a smile

"That's good, then it depends on how many things the two generals can bring back. Haha," Han Yong laughed as he spoke

"That's right, this grain and grass supply will be replenished by Zilong and Wen Yuan, and when spring begins, we will plant grain!"

"So, what about taxes?" Han Yong asked,

"Anyone who is in the army at home does not have to pay taxes, widows and lonely people do not have to pay taxes, and they allocate funds from the Taishou Mansion for relief, and select children to receive teaching, choose a good location in the city to establish a college, and teach children to the whole Changshan for free! In the future, he will be selected as an official from his merit! Cheng Feng thought about it and said solemnly

"What? It's true, my lord! Tian Yu exclaimed

"Right? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong? "Cheng Feng is a little confused

Tian Yu looked at the young man in front of him, he really couldn't see through it, this big stroke, this is to shake the family on the foundation. If everybody knows how to read and hyphenate words, that's simply it. Tian Yu didn't dare to think about it, it was crazy! "The lord is really a heavenly man. That's a real big deal. I, Tian Yu, would like to smear my liver and brain, and I will not give up! Tian Yu said solemnly

"Why is Lord Tian like this?" Not only is Chengfeng confused, but even Zhao Yun can't understand it, isn't it just to build a school, as for it? This is the heart of Cheng Feng,

"Hehe, the lord doesn't know anything, now they are all filial piety and honesty, only the people of the famous family can recommend the people in the hometown as officials, most of the children of poor families have been doing nothing all their lives, even if they are really recommended as officials, they are also marked with the establishment of the family, which leads to the situation of the land of Kyushu now, which is the situation of the family and the court co-governance, that is, because the court and the family fight for each other's interests, which leads to the instability of the world, if the lord really wants to choose officials like this, I am afraid that the family will also unite to stand opposite the lord!" Speaking of the back, Tian Yu was a little worried!

"Ahh That's right. But isn't that good for the people? Only in this way can those poor children have a bright future! Zhao Yun exclaimed

"That's right, because of this, the foundation of the family will be shaken, and they will not support the lord at all!" Tian Yu said a little regretfully

"Hehe, what should I do, if I want to benefit the life and death of the country, how can I avoid it because of misfortune and fortune!" Cheng Feng said lightly, "As long as it is for the sake of the people, it can benefit the people, although tens of thousands of people will go to me!" "Chengfeng is called a righteous and awe-inspiring, and that is called a high-spirited person who only obeys a few people!

"This" Zhang Liao worried, "That's all in the future, if you really become a soldier don't have to pay taxes, those who can't be a soldier because they sign up late, will they make trouble?" ”

"Yes, there are a lot of people who haven't come, and it would be a great loss if that were the case. Besides, those families without soldiers, there are not many people except the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, so that the tax is on those who come late, and their burden is not heavier? Zhao Yun also objected.

Cheng Feng frowned, it's really such a problem, if every family has someone to serve as a soldier, wouldn't there be no taxes, and now you can still grab Zhang Jiao's money and food, what about the future? Who's robbing? You can't always rely on rushing to fight! This is really a big problem, no wonder this tax has been an unsolvable problem since ancient times! Cheng Feng was a little big, and when he looked at Tian Yu, he suddenly moved in his heart, and asked with a smile, "What good ideas do you have?" ”

"This?" Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, "There's no good way?" ”

"Tuntian!" Tian Yu suddenly said! "Hmmm! Tuntian! Zhao Yun and the others exclaimed. Then looked at Tian Yu puzzled, Cheng Feng felt comfortable at this time, Tian Yu is a big family in Tuntian in history, since he brought it up now, he must have a heart in his heart!

"Yes, Tuntian, only Tuntian can effectively solve this problem!" Tian Yu said categorically

"So what's the method?" Cheng Feng said with interest

"Implement the military and civilian tuntian system, serve as soldiers in wartime, and kill the enemy on the field; In his spare time, he reclaimed wasteland, and all the grain collected was used for military purposes! Tian Yu said.

"Alas, that's good, haha, one errand, two uses." Zhao Yun laughed, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he asked again, "But we have too few troops?" There are only 20,000 people, and they have to build a city, defend Changshan, train troops, and reclaim fertile land, so there are too few people! ”

"Hehe, it's different, I'm talking about re-conscription, it's just a conscription of tuntian soldiers, who are only responsible for growing food!" Tian Yu further explained

"Militia!" Cheng Feng smiled, isn't this the same as the militia in the future, for soldiers in wartime, and for the people in peacetime! It's just that the soldiers of this tuntian are organized.

"Yes, you can call it a militia!" Tian Yu's eyes lit up, and he praised, "This name is good!" ”

"This only solves the problem of food, but as for the tax, it still hasn't been solved?" Zhang Liao thought about it for a while, but still asked!

"Hehe, everyone, I think our thinking is going wrong." Cheng Feng said with a smile

"Huh?" Several people frowned, looking at Cheng Feng a little puzzled, not understanding where the misunderstanding was, so they waited for Cheng Feng's next words!

"Guys, how many cities do we have now?" Cheng Feng asked with a smile

"It's just half of Changshan?" Han Yong said humbly

"That's right! It's only half of Changshan. Just what we grabbed is enough to eat for ten years! What kind of taxes to worry about! In the future, when there are more cities, won't the population increase, and then the land other than the tuntian will be divided equally among the people according to the population, and taxes will be paid according to the land, and it is not allowed to buy and sell the land without permission. No, it's fine! Cheng Feng said indifferently

"Hmm. What a way! Tian Yu smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that those high-ranking families will not be satisfied!" ”

"Whatever, the people are satisfied! Tomorrow, a notice will be posted to inform the whole city, measure the land, set aside one-tenth of the land, start the field first, how many farm tools, leave some of them, and distribute the rest to the people, and the state will let the militia be recruited according to the number of land! They were told that the militia was treated the same as the regular army, and that they were also required to go to the battlefield, and that anyone who performed well on the battlefield could obtain an official position on the basis of military merit. Cheng Feng said

"Wouldn't it cost them their lives if they were sent to war?" Han Yong was puzzled

"No, all soldiers have to be trained, and the militia is used as a reserve, so it must also be trained! Usually take care of the safety of the place! Cheng Feng further said, now everyone understands the importance of the Tuntian soldiers, both to farm the land and be responsible for guarding, this is a comprehensive army! Speaking of which, Cheng Feng had a whim, why don't I form a special forces? Gao Shun has a trap camp, Ju Yi has a halberd soldier, Zhao Yun has a white horse Yicong, Dongwu has a troublesome soldier, Liu Bei has a white soldier, and each prince has his own trump card army, so why don't I also form one! Thinking of this, Cheng Feng hurriedly said, "Zilong, you hurry up and train a group of cavalry, I will be of great use when the time comes, remember, I want to be one in a million elite soldiers." Also, you have to select people with special skills and people with particularly good physical fitness among all the soldiers, and find them all for me, and I will organize them into a special combat team! ”

"Special Forces?" Several people's heads obviously couldn't keep up with Cheng Feng's train of thought, and they only felt that the words that popped out of the mouth of this lord were fresher than the other!

"Haha, yes, it's a special army capable of fighting!" Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Okay, there is a lot of talk today, everything is not done overnight, everyone just needs to do it step by step." Let's see which one is more important! ”

"This, everything is important." Zhao Yun said, "However, in my opinion, it is almost winter, whether it is Tuntian or building a city, we have to wait until the spring of next year, it is better to train the troops first and build a school!" ”

"Zilong is right," Zhang Liao agreed, "You can take advantage of the winter when you are not busy, and build more weapons and farm tools." ”

"Hmmm! Then let's do this first, tomorrow announce the whole city, build a school, recruit students, and divide the land! "Cheng Feng clapper said!" This matter will be handed over to the state, Zilong and Wen Yuan, you should go to train the troops, just go to the training, I have already arranged for Wu Tiangang to go out to investigate the situation! Lord Han is in charge of guarding the city gate! ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison

"By the way," Cheng Feng suddenly remembered, "When the notice is posted tomorrow, it will be written on the way that all the people of Changshan will be exempt from tax for one year!" ”

"Yes! Lord! Tian Yu's heart was shocked again, this lord is really unusual, it's too difficult for people to figure out! This idea is too broad, and from time to time an idea comes out, which is really unguardable, if anyone is an enemy with him, then some people can bear it!

There was a gust of reform in Changshan City, only the people of Changshan were happy and almost set off firecrackers, the land, that is the lifeblood of the people, and now the Lord Taishou actually wants to distribute the land to the people, this is a thing that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and more importantly, there are soldiers at home, and there is no need to pay taxes. Now the eyes of the people are only Chengfeng, and when they see people, they praise Chengfeng, and for a while, Chengfeng's prestige and fame have reached a new height in Changshan County. For some far-sighted people, the most important thing is not the distribution of land, but the practice of running schools, which is what the people need most spiritually. It is also a shame that there are no big families in Changshan City, and the implementation of the policy of Chengfeng will be unimpeded. The whole Changshan City is like the New Year, full of laughter and laughter, even this winter, I don't feel cold! Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao often went out to train the troops, brought back a large number of supplies, and often distributed things to the soldiers and the people, and for a while everyone's physique was improving, and slowly, there was no night blindness in the entire Changshan City, which brought a better start, Zhao Yun and they often went to wander at night, bringing more returns!
