In February, the grass grew and the warbler flew, Dongyan County, Liangzhou City, Taishou Mansion, in the garden, Ning Caichen was dressed in white, extraordinary, and was writing with a pen, it can be seen that several sheets have been densely written on a template in front of him, and it has been several days since he came to Liangzhou City, but the time has been very busy.

"Dadada"

Footsteps sounded, and a guard walked in and reported—

"General Qiyu, Mr. Chen and Commander Zuo are back. ”

"Let them in" Ning Caichen raised his head and said, and after a while, footsteps sounded outside, and then he saw Chen Gong, Zuo Xiao, Yang Feng, and Zhang Baiqi walking in.

"Chen Gong, Zuo Xiao, Yang Feng, and Zhang Baiqi to meet the lord. ”

"No need to be polite, get up. Among the four, Colonel Zuo, Yang Feng, and Zhang Baiqi were wearing battle armor and had a murderous atmosphere, while Chen Gong was wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, elegant as a scholar: "Are they all solved?"

"Returning to the lord, large and small bandit and grass bandit forces have been wiped out by hundreds, and there are some bandit forces with climate in Dongyan County that are almost wiped out, but there are still some scattered fish that have slipped through the net." Colonel Zuo reported that during this period of time, several people led the army to encircle and suppress the grass bandits derived from Dongyan County, some of the bandits of the big forces are relatively the easiest to exterminate, under the iron hooves of the army, there is almost no ability to resist, relatively speaking, those scattered bandits have become a big problem, Dongyan County is so big, once they hide, the army encircles and suppresses, but it becomes troublesome

"It's okay, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and the rest is just some small fish, and there will be time to clean up in the future."

Ning Caichen waved his hand, for such a result, he expected, with the current situation, it is almost impossible to eliminate the bandits, his original intention is to extinguish those bandits who have some climate, as for some individuals, this takes time, and it does not pose much harm, just take time to clean up in the future.

"There should be a long period of calm in the future, just take this time to rest and give us a chance to breathe, Yang Feng, Zuo Xiao, Zhang Baiqi"

"The Last Will Be"

"Most of the Yellow Turban Army was born halfway, lack of military discipline, the next time, I want you to strengthen training, within half a year, I want a strict military discipline elite division, and, external recruitment, but remember, the old and the young, sick and disabled, and, voluntarily, the three of you are the commander, collectively known as the three armies, each commander of an army, a number of more than 30,000. ”

"No"

"Let's go down"

Ning Caichen waved his hand, Yang Feng, Zuo Xiao, and Zhang Baiqi led the order to leave, and only Chen Gong and Ning Caichen were left in the garden.

"What does Gongtai think of Dongyan County today?" Ning Caichen looked at Chen Gong.

"A hundred wastes are waiting to be revived" Chen Gong said without thinking, during this time, following the army to exterminate the bandits, he turned around most of the entire Dongyan County, walked far, and saw a lot, and he also had a deep understanding of the situation in Dongyan County now, he didn't know how many abandoned villages he saw, and even some towns and villages became empty.

"Yes, it is easy to fight the country, but it has become difficult to defend the country, and it is even more difficult to govern the country well?"

Ning Caichen sighed in his heart, the cruelty of war can only be experienced by those who have experienced it lightly, hundreds of miles of barrenness, and corpses on the streets

"Is the statistics out, how many people are still in Dongyan County now?"

"About 10 million, most of them are old, weak, women and children, and less than two layers of young and strong."

Chen Gong said, his face was a little serious, the continuous war, so that the population of Dongyan County lost an unknown amount, some died in the war, and some became displaced people left, which is undoubtedly a very serious problem for the new restoration of Dongyan County, the current society, based on labor, the flow of population, means the loss of labor, the value of indirect loss

"More than 10 million? almost?" Ning Caichen nodded slightly, then picked up what was written on the table and handed it to Chen Gong: "How about you take a look at this?"

"On the Construction Planning and System Reform of Dongam County"

Chen Gong's eyes froze, looking at the template in his hand, just looking at the title, he knew that this was Ning Jinzhi's reconstruction plan for the next Dongyan County, but the system reform behind made his heart move, and he had some conjectures, and slowly opened the template with doubts.

There are not many things in it, most of them are plans for the next construction of Dongyan County, and they are listed one by one, which is clear and clear.

"Widely collect displaced people" This is the first one, Chen Gong understood it at a glance, and agreed with it, now Dongyan County's population loss is serious, in this labor-based society, population means labor, and now Dongyan County is in ruins, what is needed most is labor, but when he saw the second one, Chen Gong's heart twitched fiercely-

"The land is confiscated and distributed to the people according to the size of the family, regardless of the harvest, and only two layers of taxes are paid each year"

Chen Gong couldn't help but look up at Ning Caichen, but his heart could not be calm, the current society, private land, after the land annexation of the landlord family, most of the land is in the hands of the landlord family, and most of the people are landless, and this situation has lasted for tens of millions of years, now Ning Caichen wants to confiscate the land and distribute it to the people, this is undoubtedly the first time in tens of millions of years, and it also involves a lot, so to speak, it is also the greatest touch to the nerves of those landlords, it can be said that this article directly broke the iron law of land for tens of millions of years, which involves too many things

glanced at Ning Caichen, but Chen Gong suppressed himself and did not ask, but continued to look-

"Reward inventions, but those who have contributed will be rewarded according to their contributions, and those who are outstanding can be worshipped"

Reward invention, what the hell is this, outstanding contributor, can worship officials, Chen Gong can faintly understand some, but it is not very clear, and then continue to read, a total of thirty, most of them are the next Dongyan County construction plan, fortunately, most of the Chen Gong in the back can understand, there are not too many surprising moves, such as Article 19, set up magistrates, and garrison the army in the county seat

After reading the template, it is all about the next Dongyan County, and there is no system reform on the title, I think Ning Caichen has not written it yet, close the template, Chen Gong looked at Ning Caichen, Ning Caichen also looked at Chen Gong, with a faint smile on his face-

"What does the public think?"

"The Lord is wise, the plans listed are all urgent matters, but the second and third articles are incomprehensible to the public station. Chen Gong replied, looking at Ning Caichen, for the second article listed by Ning Caichen, The third one, he can't understand, the third one is okay, although it is a little weird, but it is not unacceptable, but the second one, he is a little difficult to understand, and even some resistance, in today's world, ordinary people are only the lowest level, the big family controls the upper class, and the land is also in the hands of these people, in this feudal society, land is regarded as the root of life, Ning Caichen's practice is undoubtedly to cut off the life of these people, completely offended these families.

Seeing Chen Gong's frowning brows, Ning Caichen smiled slightly-

"Does Gongtai think that the people of the world are important or are these families important?"

Ning Caichen asked rhetorically, Chen Gong was silent, just frowning, Ning Caichen was not angry, and continued-

"Water can carry a boat, but also can capsize a boat, this world, not a world of one person, nor a world of a family, but the world of all people, for a long time, the people have lived at the bottom, has the public station ever thought about if these people's enthusiasm for labor are mobilized, let them develop, what kind of wealth will be created?"

"No one can take into account how much potential a person has, let alone thousands of people, let them be the masters of their own affairs, completely liberate their productive forces, you say, how much value will they create?"

Ning Caichen said with a smile, the concept of this world, most of them stay in feudal society, from later generations, his horizons are undoubtedly much broader, this is also a rare wealth for him, naturally he also knows how important it is to liberate the labor force, liberate the productive forces, this world, most of the land is controlled by the family, ordinary people can only work for them, and can only get a small fixed part of the income, and even food and clothing are a problem, just ask, in this case, how much enthusiasm these people have, there is no doubt that such a system undoubtedly restricts people's labor force

Chen Gong didn't speak beside him, but the fluctuating eyes showed that he was not calm in his heart, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, but because of the limitations of the times, his thinking was restrained, listening to Ning Caichen's words, he felt like a new door had been opened.

This is the first time he has heard of liberating the productive forces, but he feels that this is very feasible.

"Moreover, speaking of which, it seems that there are no more clans in Dongyan County now, so we can test the effect of this approach. ”

Ning Caichen said again, Chen Gong's eyes also lit up, as Ning Caichen said, the current Dongyan County, it can be said that there is no so-called family, the Yellow Turban Army rebellion, these families were the first to be robbed, uprooted by the Yellow Turban Army, and now Ning Caichen wants to confiscate the land, it can be said that there is basically no obstacle

"New theories always have to be tested in practice, and now that there are such good conditions, there is no reason why we should not give it a try, right?" Ning Caichen said again. (To be continued.) )
