Ma Tan was appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, and this news made the whole Chengdu panic. All the local officials in Yizhou panicked, and even timid officials had already begun to write suicide notes.

No way, Ma Yan's reputation is too scary.

In the past few years, Ma Yan's many achievements in the world are too dazzling, which has covered all his former reputation. But these Shudi officials will never forget how Ma Tan got up in the first place!

He once proposed the Juntian Law in Longyou! There is more than one person who exterminated the clan under his hands, and even the Zhou family, a local wang clan, was disposed of by Ma Yan!

This lord is back, which in a sense represents the attitude of the imperial court. Han Ting does not intend to relax the supervision of Shudi, and may even have the intention of letting Ma Tan come to benefit the state of Liwei!

And no matter what the court means, it is a ghost story for the local clans. Among them, several big clans of the Du family have begun to contact the head of the family, and they want to ask what the court means.

Could it be that those Jingzhou people plan to unload the mill and kill the donkey?

But where Ma Jian is going is not determined by their actions. When there was a panic in Chengdu, Ma Tan had already arrived in Nanzheng.

After entering the territory of Yizhou, Ma Tan also found that Shu was indeed about to reach its limit. Even in Hanzhong, many people have become more difficult.

That is, because the Northern Expedition has achieved a phased victory, and everyone has seen the hope that life will get better, so they can still endure the suffering in front of them.

"It seems that before clearing the acres of fields, I still have to clean up the stalls left by the prime minister." Ma Tan looked at the acres and farmers along the way, and was silent for a long time and said suddenly.

"Shu has sacrificed a lot for the Northern Expedition, and the local tax system must be revised as soon as possible. If the previous system has been maintained, I am afraid that there will be problems in Shu soon. ”

Over the years, Yizhou has been following all the systems implemented by Zhuge Liang to serve the military. This system gave the Han army a huge mobilization force and maintained the great cause of the Northern Expedition for eight years.

But this is not without a price, and what he has lost is the future of Yizhou. These side effects will manifest over time, eventually making Shu poorer and poorer.

Historically, Shu Han could only maintain the original system because it could not be beaten. But now that the Han Dynasty has recovered Guanzhong and moved the capital to Chang'an, it is time for reform on the Yizhou side.

"This is not a small project, I'm afraid that when I get to Chengdu, I will have to work overtime." Li Mu didn't object, but just looked at Ma Jian meaningfully.

"If you can still work as hard as you do in Longxi County, none of this is a problem."

Li Mu's ridicule made the corners of Ma Yan's mouth twitch, obviously his old partner was very dissatisfied with his laziness in handling official business.

But you can't blame Ma Tan, after all, Ma Jian is really not in the mood to continue working overtime when he comes back from the battlefield every day.

I've fought all my life, can't I enjoy it? .jpg

Ma Jian took these twenty or so people with him and quickly went south along the road. A few days later, Yizhou Mu came to Chengdu, where he was governed.

Outside Chengdu, officials of all sizes in Yizhou came out to greet him, and they all came to greet Ma Jian with a smile.

"Welcome the state pastor back to Chengdu to guide the work!"

"Greetings!"

"When the envoy comes, many things in Yizhou will be solved!"

This group of Yizhou officials is very nervous, but they have no choice but to pinch their noses and welcome them.

In this regard, Ma Tan did not find fault, but entered Chengdu with a seal ribbon and quickly received all the work. In the panic and uneasiness of the officials, Ma Jian quickly completed the transfer of power.

After a smooth handover of power, Ma Jian quickly appointed Li Mu as the chief secretary, responsible for assisting the state pastor in handling affairs large and small. The first order issued by Ma Tan was to check the taxes in Yizhou and quickly send his henchmen to take over the archives.

All these actions have become natural, as long as he is allowed to handle government affairs, it is such a process. But Ma Tan's actions made the officials below tremble, and they sighed in their hearts that the person who came was really not good.

It seems that Ma Jian is really here to Liwei!

But even so, the families can only consider themselves unlucky. At this point in time, they had no choice but to flip the table in the face of Ma Yan.

But flipping the table...... Unless their brains are in water, how can they make trouble when the big man is in full swing, it is because they think they have lived enough.

Therefore, within a few days of his inauguration, Ma Jian found that all his decrees were not hindered in the slightest. The local clan is the same as rotten, and what Ma Tan says is what it is.

Ma Tan's first task was to check the title deeds and prevent some big clans from falsely reporting their fields. All the families who want to relocate to Guanzhong and re-purchase their fields must hand over the title deeds and re-measure the cultivated land.

This can be regarded as blocking the road for the Yizhou clan to take advantage of the loophole, but even the Qian family has not made any action in this regard.

And when Ma Tan ordered the clearing of the fields, the Haoqiang clan of Shu County only complained, and no one dared to make trouble.

Ma Tan's reform plan for Yizhou is not complicated, but it is more troublesome to do. He needs to send people to clear the acres of land in each county and thoroughly investigate the population. Subsequently, based on the information found thoroughly, tax reductions and exemptions will be granted to each county.

It would be better if some arable land could be taken out of the hands of these great clans, so that the court would have enough land to reward the soldiers. Ma Tan even planned to build military offices in parts of Yizhou in order to maintain the central government's control there.

The only thing that made Ma Jian feel a little in crisis was that the garrison in Yizhou was a little too small at the moment. Even in Chengdu, the garrison was only 2,000 people, and most of them were militiamen.

After all, in the past, most of the time the garrison in Yizhou only had the central forbidden army to maintain law and order. But after Liu Chan ran to Chang'an, the forbidden army also followed, and the garrison in Chengdu instantly became a lot tighter.

However, Ma Jian was not particularly worried about this, but thought that it would help to commit death.

Under Ma Tan's orders, a thorough investigation of Yizhou began. The lord Bo Li Mu started from Shu County with manpower, and the population and acres of land were checked from county to county.

At first, it went extremely well, and many disguised "borderlands" were discovered, and thousands of hidden households were found in Mianzhu alone. And the found wealthy family did not make any resistance, and quickly pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, almost without hindrance.

Smoothly to Ma Jian felt that he had come to the wrong place, how did he feel that Yizhou was safer than fighting barbarians in the north?

What's wrong with you rich people? You have to fight!

In this way, the inventory operation quickly expanded from Shu County to Sanba, and then to the surrounding border counties, and finally encountered problems in Jiangzhou.

The local remote clans refused to cooperate with the government's efforts and mobilized clan men and tenant farmers to resist.

However, that's what it means, the small Ma Tan is not interested.

"Is the prime minister so good for me? No risk at all......"
