Liu Tai and Zu Ti entered a period of relative peace, and Liu Tai began to devote all his energy to spring ploughing.

When Liu Tai was in Qingzhou, he gradually replaced the cultivation of corn with winter wheat, so that the people could free up the summer time as much as possible, and let the people do their own labor during the slack time.

But this kind of thing can't be implemented all at once in Yecheng and other areas.

The most important thing in the first year was stability, and now I can only say that I have laid down these areas that Shile has mastered, and has not really brought the local people to their hearts.

If you want them to live in peace and become the cornerstone of their own regime, you must let them receive the first wave of food.

In this era, whoever can feed the people will have a stable regime.

In this process, the peasant students trained by Wang Pei, under the instruction of Liu Tai, began to become doctors of agronomy, and went to the people to teach the people to use various new agricultural tools, help the grassroots areas build water conservancy facilities, and guide the flow of water.

Of course, Liu Tai is more interested in the common people and just letting these doctors of agriculture guide the people to farm.

After all, it is not easy to think that the people here can change their thousands of years of farming habits in a year.

However, as long as the people feel the advancement brought about by these agricultural knowledge and actually get the benefits, the enthusiasm of the people to take the initiative to learn these technologies is still very high.

With the implementation of "Qiantian Tax" and "Conscription Tax", Gou Chun began to exert his mad dog-like investigation ability, which gave a small shock to the Jizhou family.

The large and small families in Yecheng wanted to conceal the acres, so Gou Chun took the acres of land counted from Chu Biao, and went to the families one by one to check them.

As long as there is an extra acre of land, either the field will be confiscated, or Liu Tai will pay an additional tax on the "Thousand Field Tax".

Of course, if this family dares to resist taxes, although Gou Chun has a thousand elites licensed by Liu Tai in his hands, which are mainly used for protection rather than conquest, as long as it is not a bad official who directly kills the investigation, then Gou Chun is not allowed to use these soldiers to attack.

At this time, Gou Chun needed to report this matter to Liu Tai, and Liu Tai asked Yang Man to communicate with the family according to what Gou Chun found, and obediently paid the taxes, saving both parties from making it difficult.

If all the taxes and penalties are paid, then the matter is over.

If not, directly in the name of tax resistance, let Gou Chun lead troops to encircle and suppress.

Among them, the acres of land are returned to the state, and the floating wealth is sent to Gou Chun's tax department as a bonus and allowance.

As for the tax-resistant family, the daughters of the family were handed over to the Xu family's private training room for training, and the men were sent to the collective farm to serve as conscription.

In Dahan, don't say that you are the masters, and what do you not know about the people at the bottom and do not understand how to pay taxes.

For Liu Tai, every part of his political system must fight for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

The common people have no money, at least they have contributed to it, you families have money and food, what is it to let you pay some taxes, if you can't stay in Dahan, you can leave at any time, and you will not obstruct it, but the land and servants will stay for you.

As Gou Chun conscientiously verified the acres of land, he immediately began to verify the number of conscripts.

It's as simple as the official posting announcements and asking officials to read out the rules and regulations from time to time.

If the number of servants employed by the family exceeded five, they had to report to the government so that the government could levy a levy tax on them.

If the number of hired slaves exceeds five but does not report to the imperial court, all of them will be punished as conspiracy against them.

The slave can go to the government to take the initiative to denounce, and after verification, he will directly obtain one-third of the family's assets, and the other two-thirds, the land belongs to the state, and the rest needs to be handed over to other officials up and down.

All in all, some families are really not suitable for Liu Tai's approach to the family.

Crying and shouting, even foreign races have not persecuted them like this, now that the Han has recovered, how can Liu Tai be so persecuted!

Liu Tai was indifferent to this, because Liu Tai knew very well that the more things like fields were in his hands, the more stable his regime would be.

Compared with the fields, any other gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings may not be worth as much as grain.

Under Liu Tai's political system, those families who lived in Qingzhou or those who were similar to Yang Man's excellent family style, or Chu Yu Gaozhan, who migrated to Qingzhou from outside, were also cautious and started from scratch, and all of them took the initiative to integrate into the rules formulated by Liu Tai.

At least while Liu Tai was alive, these people did not dare to do anything transgressive.

Truth be told, there is no difference between the two types of families per se, because they are political creatures that survive on the rules of the empire.

If you play the rules with the Maison, you will be killed by the Maison sooner or later.

But the most troublesome thing for the family is to face two kinds of guys, one is the barbarians who don't pay attention to the rules at all, they only recognize the knife in their hands, and until they are ready to rule one side, they need the family as their partner to rule the local people.

The other is Liu Tai, another kind of rule has been formulated, and the family has collided with the new rules formulated by Liu Tai from time to time under the inertia of the old rules.

If Liu Tai retreats, then the family will let the old rules reappear, if Liu Tai does not back down, then the family will decisively choose to take a step back, survive first, and wait until they are familiar with the new rules before exploiting loopholes.

And Liu Tai also understands that in the face of the family, he can take a step back on personal issues, but when it comes to rules such as administrative regulations, he can't take a step back.

Because these guys are a bit like termites, you just have to take a step back and let a bite come out, and the speed of destruction of the entire system will immediately be geometric, and it will basically enter the countdown to destruction.

However, it is simple to sweep these families, but the real difficulty is how to settle the slaves and servants scattered with the destruction of these families after sweeping these families, if you ignore them, then it will inevitably affect spring ploughing.

Therefore, Liu Tai's collective farm appeared again, and all the servants of the family, the rangers who committed minor crimes, and some of the captured soldiers were arranged to be placed in the collective farm, and they were militarized in it.

The cultivation that ought to be cultivated, the labour that ought to be labored, until they had been imprisoned for a few years, and had learned a little trade, were to be released from this collective farm and go out to earn a living.

To be honest, this is also because Cao Wei's Yongji Canal has not really been rolled out, otherwise this project alone can absorb millions of people, and Liu Tai will not need to do anything for the people in a short time.

Liu Tai's entire Hebei region, even if you add the annexation of the state, the total population of all is about 10 million.

Among them, his own Qingzhou, as well as Wang Jun's Youzhou, the proportion of Han people is basically above the ninth floor and there are 6 million people.

In contrast, the western part of Jizhou, Bingzhou, and parts of Sizhou and Yanzhou, north of the Yellow River, are only about four million people, and the number of foreign races is about one to three in the total number of Han people.

If he takes the area ruled by Shile a few years later, I don't know if the proportion of this alien race will rise again, and the proportion of Han people will further decline.

I have to say that Schle's own policies towards the people and his policies are also quite good.

But the question is whether he was born in the Qiang tribe, and he also needs to take into account the interests of the Karma tribe when he does things, not to mention, his orders are only issued by the Qiang people or families, who care about the interests of the people at the bottom.

Basically, the era of foreign domination was the most comfortable era for families or landlords and gentry.

Because as Han people, they have the value of being united and can control the Han people at the bottom.

But the Han people at the bottom are the most bullied era, because your direct managers will exploit you, even if the emperor is far away, he will not care about you.

After all, the rule of the alien race, I have a little bit in my heart, it's a big deal to knock out this piece of land, just pat my ass and leave, and I care about what the bottom is doing.

On the contrary, if the rulers of their own tribe are overthrown by violence from below, they must face a problem, they have nowhere to retreat, they have no other choice but to die, so for them, the people at the bottom have united front value.

As long as the large-scale spring ploughing north of the Yellow River begins, it will naturally not be able to hide the merchants or scholars who travel to Xingyang and Jijun.

In fact, Liu Tai didn't want to hide it, because sometimes truth is more attractive than lies.

Zu Ti would naturally take advantage of this opportunity to send people north to survey the surrounding terrain and landforms to prepare for the future Northern Expedition.

Although Zu Ti also knew that Sima Rui and Director Wang did not support him, who could guarantee that Liu Tai would not give him a chance!

As long as there is a chance, even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den in the north, Zu Ti will also give it a try.

In addition to Zu Ti sending people to the north, at this moment, Li Ju also sent his henchman Gou Yuan, pretending to be a businessman, and taking advantage of the opportunity of Xingyang and Jijun to exchange business, to explore the reality of Liu Tai's territory.

Because for Li Ju, as Liu Yao was captured by Liu Tai and Shi Le was killed by Liu Tai, his opponent who had always been-for-tat was wiped out by Liu Tai, which made Li Ju's heart more or less empty.

If Liu Tai took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Xingyang and followed Li Ju to fight too much, then Li Ju would not care so much.

But the problem is that Liu Tai conquered the land north of the Yellow River, so he took the initiative to come over and make peace with Zu Ti.

Now Xingyang, where he is located, has become even more prosperous due to the exchanges between the two sides, which more or less makes Li Ju shaken a little bit.

In the final analysis, although Liu Tai held high the banner of the Han Dynasty, Liu Tai's so-called Han was different from the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

The alien race he hated was either killed by Jin Zhun indiscriminately in Jin Zhun's rebellion, or swept away with Liu Tai's capture of Liu Yao and killing Shile, which made Li Ju not have the same heartfelt hatred for Liu Tai as he did for the alien race.

After all, it doesn't matter whether Liu Tai used to be low and small under the hands of foreign races, but at least now Liu Tai has become one of the people who are most likely to be unified in this world.

The most important thing is that he is still surnamed Liu, starting from Qingzhou, occupying Youzhou, annexing Hebei, annexing and annexing states, and has the momentum of encroaching on the world, which is simply repeating the myth of Liu Xiu at the beginning.

This made all the opponents who were fighting with Liu Tai have to weigh whether they are making enemies of the Mandate of Heaven at the moment.

Of course, the reason why the family did not take the initiative to surrender to Liu Tai is that with the increase in the land occupied by Liu Tai, things like "Qiantian Tax" and "Conscription Tax" naturally spread.

Liu Tai's tax system, that is definitely distressing for the family, this makes many families, but Liu Tai called and then surrendered, and definitely didn't want to welcome Liu Tai to his own territory as soon as possible, otherwise wouldn't he be looking for guilt!

Of course, the family must have more or less such scruples, after all, they rely on the old rules to have vested interests, and under the old rules, they are much more comfortable than the new rules formulated by Liu Tai now, so why bother to welcome Liu Tai.

But Li Ju's identity is at most a strong man and not a family, the most important thing is that he is a homeless marshal who went south from the north, so he represents the interests of the northerners, not the interests of the family.

Compared with the family's dislike of Liu Tai, because Liu Tai's policies are beneficial to the people at the bottom, this makes Li Ju slightly offset towards Liu Tai.

This also made Li Ju send Gou Yuan, hoping that Gou Yuan would personally go to the north of Jiangnan to see what the north of Jiangnan is like now.

Li Ju knew very well that if Liu Tai went south, Xingyang, where he was located, would almost be a necessary place for Liu Tai to compete with the Jin court, and he would bear the brunt.

Therefore, he needs to have more information about Liu Tai, but he can make more accurate decisions about the future.

Gou Yuan and the others arrived in Ji County, and after the number of people reached a certain level, they made unified arrangements.

The identities of these people are either wealthy merchants or traveling scholars, and in short, they are not bad for money.

After taking out the security deposit and then paying the cost of the carriage, these people got into a special carriage and headed towards Yecheng.

They soon saw the endless fields, and the people who were working in the fields, and the fields where green shoots had sprouted, and the fields that had already sprouted green shoots were diligently cultivating and fertilizing.

Although I can only watch from afar at the moment, I can feel the leisurely and vigorous life of these people from the heart.

This makes them feel as if they have experienced the wind and rain to see the rainbow again, and they are full of hope for the future.

The route arranged by Liu Tai was naturally specially arranged, and it was necessary to give these people some small productivity shocks.

Liu Tai believes that there must be spies arranged by Zu Ti, and of course there are also wealthy businessmen and scholars who really want to come to Yecheng to have a look.

To be honest, Liu Tai doesn't care, because Liu Tai has experienced a previous life and clearly understands that it is instinctive for anyone to pursue civilization.

It's just that after some people have seen civilization, they can't wait to get in touch with civilization after scraping the skin on their bodies, and some people have seen civilization, so they want to build their hometown into a civilized and brilliant one.

Therefore, Liu Tai understands that what moves people the most in this troubled era is not what gold and silver treasures, not what is good for good land, what really touches people's hearts is civilization and tranquility, as long as they can show this, these people will choose to belong sooner or later.

After all, the Jin court did not advocate that officials should be loyal to the country, and if you take refuge here, you naturally don't have any psychological pressure, and it's just a good bird to choose a tree to perch.

With the end of spring ploughing and the opening of the Cao Wei project, Chu Yi, who was finally relieved, found Liu Tai, but said, "Wang, now we Han should start to investigate outstanding talents!" ”

Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's words, and couldn't help but say softly, "Oh?!" ”
