The Chengdu farce lasted only one night, and it was pacified by Ma Yanlei (Mo) Ting (name) (its) (wonderful). not only annihilated all the fine works of Eastern Wu in Yizhou, but also captured the traitor Shiren.

Among them, the most important thing is that because of the persecution of Soochow, Ma Tan finally opened the skylight with the Yizhou clan and said a bright word. Ma Tan also had a chance to correct his brutal image in the eyes of the scholars.

He's just not good at talking, not brutal and murderous.

After announcing to the various clans in Chengdu that he was not guilty of the past, Ma Yan's reputation quickly improved in Shu. These middle-class families turned black and pink in a very short period of time, and began to promote the image of Ma Jian as a good person.

With their support, a lot of Ma Tan's work has become smoother. Many local wealthy families also began to take the initiative to cooperate with the actions of the government under the guarantee of the Chengdu family.

Subsequently, after Ma Zhong led his troops to suppress Wenshan County, the remote counties were also afraid of Ma Zhong's authority and honestly obeyed Chengdu's orders. In a very short period of time, Ma Jian quickly integrated Yizhou, which was already in good control.

After completing the initial action of clearing the acres of land, Ma Jian quickly began to implement tax reductions and reductions to reduce forced labor. In October of the thirteenth year of Jianxing, Ma Jian issued a decree in Chengdu, announcing that all counties in Yizhou would reduce taxes and forced labor by 50%.

Among them, the tax reduction in the south is the largest, and many heavy taxes in the Zhuge Liang era were canceled by Ma Yan, and forced labor was directly exempted for three years. This can be regarded as correcting the hidden dangers left by Zhuge Liang, so that the barbarian forces in Nanzhong have been appeased to a certain extent.

As for the two places of Bazhong and Shuzhong, Ma Jian also carried out different reforms. Among them, the three places mainly implemented the measure of tax substitution, maintaining the original 60% of the conscription and reducing the tax to 30% of the original tax rate.

The counties of Shuzhong were completely reversed, and the conscription was reduced to 30% of the original amount, while the tax was maintained at 60%.

On the one hand, this is due to the mountainous area of Bazhong, where the value of taxes is lower than that of forced labor. On the other hand, it was also because Ma Tan planned to prepare for the war of Wu and planned to build ships in Yong'an to go east.

Therefore, in the next few years, Pakistan and China will have greater requirements for conscription, and many people will be needed to build ships.

At the same time, because of the Qian family, the Du family moved to Chang'an, and the basic plates of several major families were also Bazhong. Therefore, when exchanging fields, most of the land acquired by the imperial court was also the land and population of Bazhong, and the Yizhou military government was also built here.

Therefore, the demand for taxes in Pakistan and China is not high, and the cost of maintaining the garrison is low.

Under Ma Tan's series of changes, the whole Yizhou was jubilant. The Yizhou clan, who was already ready to be slaughtered again, did not expect that Ma Jian not only did not rob their land, but also reduced taxes and forced labor.

Where is this cool official, this is clearly the master of clear soup! Our parents of the people of Yizhou!

Within a month of the issuance of the decree to reduce the tax on forced labor, Ma Tan's reputation in Yizhou began to rise wildly. In particular, Ma Tan had already completed the clearing of acres of land before, so the decree was smooth, the law was strict, and the decree on tax reduction and exemption was quickly implemented.

As a result, Ma Jian changed from the first cool official of the Han Dynasty to the master of clear soup in a very short period of time. Ma Jian only felt a little crying and laughing at this, after all, to put it bluntly, the tax reduction and exemption was just acting on orders.

The prime minister has long had the idea of reducing taxes for Yizhou, and even if Ma Jian does not come, he will reduce taxes if he changes to a different state pastor.

But at this time, Ma Jian also suddenly realized. Maybe the prime minister asked him to be the Yizhou pastor so simply, probably because he also had this idea, right?

Through this fateful affair, Ma Jian and the Yizhou faction can ease the contradictions.

He really, I cried to death.

In addition to the large-scale tax cuts in Yizhou, Ma Jian also put Van Wu on the agenda. He specially played Chang'an on the matter of Eastern Wu disturbing Yizhou, and it was urgent to play the matter of Ming and Wu.

We can't let this-stirring stick do things next to the big man anymore, and we have to beat him back to Yangzhou as soon as possible.

At the same time as playing Chang'an, Ma Jian also transferred Guan Xing from Nanzhong to Yong'an. He was responsible for building warships and training sailors in Yong'an to prepare for the defeat of Wu.

As for Nanzhong, he was completely thrown to Guan Yinping by Ma Tan.

Guan Xing did not have too many objections to this arrangement, but he raised his concerns about Ma Tan.

"Envoy, the Dongwu Navy has dominated the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and our Han Army has not formed a Navy since the first examination."

"Now if you build a naval army training, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the naval army of Dongwu, right?"

Guan Xing's concern is very normal, so far the Soochow naval army has dominated the Yangtze River for 16 years. Since Guan Yu, there is no longer a force on the Yangtze River that can compete with the Dongwu naval army.

Over the years, Soochow can do all kinds of deaths, and its confidence is also based on this. With the support of the naval army that dominates the Yangtze River, they can also wage war against foreign countries again and again.

And now, Ma Tan plans to rebuild the Han Naval Army, can he really beat the Eastern Wu Naval Army in this case?

In this regard, Ma Jian waved his hand, patted Guan Xing's shoulder and said comfortingly,

"Anguo doesn't have to worry, you can just go to build a ship, I often think of the way!"

"Besides, I won't come up and ask our Han army's sailors to defeat Eastern Wu. Everything is done step by step, after all, no matter what, sooner or later we will have a battle with Soochow. ”

"Yes, too...... In short, rest assured, you will not be disappointed! ”

In the following months, Ma Jian was dragged by Li Mu and began a hard overtime life. The affairs of Yizhou are all in the hands of Ma Tan, and from time to time Ma Jian has to go out to investigate.

Under Ma Tan's busyness, Yizhou, which has been operating for nearly 20 years for the load of war, finally ushered in the moment of recuperation. After being tired for so many years, the people of Shu can finally live with peace of mind under a lighter burden.

In the previous Zhuge Liang era, for the Northern Expedition, basically most of the people had to participate in conscription as soon as they arrived at the agricultural slack. Although the tax was under Zhuge Liang's personal management and production, although the people could eat enough, they couldn't save much surplus grain every year.

Under Ma Tan's tax reduction and exemption and advocacy of recuperation, the people of Shu can finally rest. Moreover, under Ma Tan's hands, the efficiency of the administrative organs has been greatly improved, and the people all praise Ma Tan's kindness.

In the south of these, most obviously, after the removal of heavy taxes, many barbarians quickly ceased to make noise. Under Guan Yinping's appeasement and teaching, Nanzhong gradually settled down.

At this point, everyone in Yizhou is satisfied, and no one has any complaints.

However, after Sun Quan, who was far away in Jianye, knew about this, he became very unhappy.

I used so much strength to pick and choose, and in the end, Yizhou worked together?

So I'll go?
