Chapter 357 What Happened in Half a Year (4.2K)

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the new year, and everything is going on in an orderly manner during the past six months.

Cao Zong's affairs were also perfectly handled. He went to Tianshui County to recruit soldiers in the second half of the year, and he came back after the Chinese New Year. He is probably in the mansion now.

Father and son Gongsun He and Gongsun Jingsheng were frightened to death. Although Huo Shan knew that Lao Liu was acting, his acting was too real.

For a while, Huo Shan felt that he wanted to be serious.

Gongsun Jingsheng and Cao Zong were arrested and taken to the court. Cao Zong ate delicious food and drank spicy food every day, but Gongsun Jingsheng in the prison next door was eating bran and swallowing vegetables.

The day before he was released from prison, Gongsun Jingsheng was given a good meal, which made Gongsun Jingsheng think it was a decapitated meal. He lay on the ground and cried for a long time, and then ate while crying with tears.

Fear made him spit up what he ate disgustingly, and continued to eat after wiping his mouth, which almost scared Gongsun Jingsheng to death, and almost made Liu Che and Huo Shan laugh to death.

But there was a lot of thunder and little rain, nothing happened to Gongsun He, Gongsun Jingsheng was demoted, and now he is acting as a servant.

There is no problem with Xiucheng. The palace walls have been erected, and the palace inside is now being built.

After Huo Shan distributed the final payment for the construction of Qiang land to the big merchants, they also took over the project of building Chang'an.

Roads, canals, and small projects for aqueducts are being built one after another in various places. Although the projects are not large, the cost of gathering them together is not small.

But now that the imperial court has money, the big merchants also advance their own funds for the construction, so it is not a big problem.

Recruitment is also in full swing, and the number of people who apply is much larger than Huo Shan expected.

Cao Zong was in charge of Guanzhong, six counties, and three places in Hexi. A total of 90 soldiers were recruited, and [-] were collected after being eliminated. However, there were a full [-] people who signed up.

The manpower is not enough every day. Except for the inseparable officials of the counties, such as farming, all the others have been transferred.

Su Xian is in charge of recruiting 60 people in the north, and [-] applicants.

To the east of Xiaoshan, where Li Ling was in charge, 57 applicants.

Lubold was responsible for the least number of southerners, with 41 applicants.

The total accounts for almost half of adult males aged 30 to [-].

Of course, there is also the reason why the whole big man cooperates in spreading the news, and officials from all over the country encourage it.

As for the selected people, Huo Shan didn't go to see the others, but he went to Tianshui County, so he didn't say anything.

Compared with the original Habayashi Huben, the cultural quality may not be as good, but the physical fitness is more than a step stronger.

Don't look at the successive battles in the past few years, but the main battle is Huo Shan, and when Huo Shan fights, the country basically doesn't take much, so the consumption is not big.

After Huo Shan and the farmers slowly researched it, the farming manuals implemented by officials in various places, as well as the plows and waterwheels made by Shaofu craftsmen as Huo Shan described.

There is also the ox that Huo Shan snatched back, put on the nose ring and trained it as a farming ox.

The loom developed by the research was purchased by the common people Zhong Sang who raised silkworms to weave cloth, and Shaofu and Dasinong bought it.

The researched millstone made wheat, which has a better yield than millet, a high-quality grain.

The method of making salt that was brought out, the big man collected salt on a large scale. Although it did not reach the point where there was no shortage, at least the common people ate some.

With food and clothing, the common people also have a little family background. After four or five years, the newly grown group is much stronger than the common people recruited by Yulin Huben.

This is really a correct choice for recruiting troops from all over the country.

Although Huo Shan didn't look at the other places, according to the reports of the other three people, the situation is not much different. After all, they are all tens of thousands out of hundreds of thousands.

In addition to building the city and recruiting troops, the last big thing is to clean up.

Wang Wenshu and Du Yannian set off in late May with five hundred tigers, starting from Chang'an, heading for Shandong.

The sweeping of county by county can be said to have set off a bloodbath in various places.

The big merchants complained endlessly, and sued Huo Shan, but Huo Shan reprimanded them and went back. You are afraid of death now, why didn't you think about today when you committed the crime.

The officials also dealt with a lot, and there were a lot fewer officials waiting for Hou in Guangluxun and students from the Taixue, and they embarked on the journey happily one by one.

However, Wang Wenshu and Du Yannian also had a lot of subordinates, and they all killed criminals, but it didn't have much impact on their reputation.

Logically speaking, after doing such a thing, the two of them are the biggest villains of the big man, but don't forget that Huo Shan also has a Confucianist under his command.

It's just Confucianism. Although the famous school is in decline, the ones who are very talkative are also under Huo Shan's hands.

There are a few schools of thought that are not under Huo Shan's hands.

And the people who did it applauded again and again.

With these two aspects, not only is there no damage to their reputation, but there is a tendency to become famous.

The whole big man has only cleaned about one-third of it, which is still very fast, because there are criminal evidences, it is a targeted cleaning.

If it wasn't for every time the cleaning was completed, Huben and powerful officials would be sent to various places to serve as circuit judges, waiting for the people to complain, and it is estimated that half of the cleaning would have been completed in the past six months.

As for the follow-up matters, Liu Che and Huo Shan have also made some arrangements. If they only clean up and do not improve, they will return to the original state after a few years.

As for how to improve the situation of this official colluding with powerful families, Huo Shan proposed three methods: rotation every five years, promotion in different places, and supervisory agencies.

There is no new supervisory agency, and it is appropriate for the doctor to make some changes.

Huo Shan felt that the solution he proposed was good, and it was impossible to completely cure this problem.

In addition to these three major events, the entire Dahan has not stopped developing, and there are specific things such as land reclamation and small-scale migration.

The land reclamation is the wastelands all over the country, and there are a lot of wastelands at this time.

As for the small-scale migration, it is to the Qiang land, and there are small-scale migrations in the south and northeast.

What was adopted was not a coercive strategy, but the treatment given by the imperial court, and the common people signed up by themselves, but there were not many people, so it was only a small-scale migration.

There are three major things that have been discussed but not yet implemented. Two of them will be implemented at the beginning of the year, and one will not be implemented until after the Huns are wiped out.

Many people discussed and participated in the first two matters, but there were only four people in the last one, Liu Che, Huo Shan, Wei Qing, and Huo Guang.

Because it was something Huo Shan mentioned after the Jiaofangdian family banquet, several people discussed it and planned to do it, but after the Xiongnu.

And this matter is to change the army into a civilian, or change into a military household.

Dahan is a small-scale recruitment system, coupled with a large-scale conscription system, and there are many private soldiers who are not on the bright side, but everyone knows it.

Since entering Liu Che's dynasty, the Great Han has been fighting for years, spending infinite resources on the military, and the entire Great Han has surprisingly many soldiers.

After the Xiongnu is destroyed, the big man has no more wars, and it is really time to recuperate. These soldiers are a big burden.

Although according to the conscription system of the Han Dynasty, they can be ignored, directly classified as civilians, and develop on their own, but this cannot be done. This is disarmament.

After the Huns were wiped out, although the great Han had no major wars, so many newly harvested lands were still unstable.

Huo Shan's opinion is to turn them into military households, that is to say, they are militias just like those in the Western Regions.

Then let them go to various places to settle people, supplemented by people of other races, teach Han culture, and slowly integrate.

Although it cost more in the past few years, the benefits in the future will be countless.

Several people agreed with Huo Shan's proposal, so they decided to do this matter, but they didn't discuss it in detail.

There is no need to discuss now, and it's not time yet, and I'm a little too ambitious, so I'll do the things in front of me first.

After the Huns are destroyed, it is reasonable to plan slowly according to the actual situation.

As for the two things that have been decided but have not yet been implemented, they are tax reduction and business tax reform, or business tax reform and tax reduction, because business tax reform is implemented first, and tax reduction is implemented later.

These two things are really troublesome, because the things involved are very complicated, and Huo Shan himself doesn't know much about them.

So after Huo Shan proposed a few concepts, others began to discuss plans.

Many people participated in it, the Da Sinonong, the Shaofu, and the Prime Minister's Mansion were indispensable, but not only these three supervisors, but also basically all the subordinate officials of the three major departments participated.

Because it is impossible for the three chief officials to know the details, only the subordinate officials who are in charge of detailed things can know.

Even they don't know the details very well, and they randomly recruited some officials from various places who are responsible for the detailed affairs of various places.

In addition to them, there are also county guards, county magistrates, village elders, and merchants from all over the country.

These people talked for half a year before finalizing these two matters. During this period, they did not steal or play tricks. Huo Shan was personally controlling them.

This shows how complicated these two things are.

Moreover, there are many people among the people who are negotiating. At the very beginning, it is natural that they are biased towards their own side.

But after being dealt with by Huo Shan a few times, they all became obedient and did not dare to make trouble again.

I don't understand, and I don't have the ability to plan, but I monitor, I have the problematic vision inside, and I can't fool me.

However, it was very difficult to let them serve the public wholeheartedly. Huo Shan had to toss and turn for more than a month before subduing them.

Changing the commercial tax is simpler, because everyone doesn't understand it well. Huo Shan proposed the concept and general direction, and the officials enriched the details. Then Huo Shan reviewed it. If it works, it will be passed.

Merchants are also very cooperative, because it is beneficial to them. When the business tax comes out, it will not be 01:30 for their business environment.

What is really difficult is tax reduction, which involves a lot of interest.

Because this matter is a good thing for the court and the common people, but not so good for the middle-level big family officials.

The result that Huo Shan wants is to be transparent in the middle, and the people really understand how much tax they should pay, which will inevitably touch the huge interests in the hands of some people.

Outside, Wang Wenshu and Du Yannian brandished their blades to clean up, and they didn't dare to go too far.

Inside, you are cheating, cheating, dawdling, not ready to do a good job, I will not kill you if nothing happens, I will torture you, and I will make your whole family feel uneasy.

Little black room, don’t let me sleep, you do it side by side, I’ll put it all in hand for you, let’s grind slowly.

It's almost worn out, and after another family raid and family extermination directly defeats your psychological defense, I still want you to do things for me, do you want to die?

Okay, I will not stop it, another person who has witnessed all this continues to implement this strategy.

After a few times, everyone became obedient, and he dared not go to the west when he was asked to go east, and he dared not catch chickens when he was asked to chase the dog.

In the final analysis, the reason was that Huo Shan was not afraid of them causing trouble, nor was he afraid of their resistance.

I can't wait for you to resist. Now, if you dare to jump out, I will give you a knife.

If you have the ability, give me a try to rebel. Huo Shan doesn't even need to go out in person. He only needs to send a team of cavalry to walk around the rebels with the championship flag. The people will immediately turn their swords and give you a sword.

To confuse the common people, no one can do this in front of me, Champion Hou.

Now Champion Hou's reputation is truly number one, and Liu Che's edict is not as effective as Champion Hou's words among the common people.

The reputation accumulated by two generations of champions made the name of champions known to everyone among the common people. Everyone said it with pride on their faces, and they often talked about it.

Having such a reputation is not only due to his military achievements, Huo Shan's reputation in agriculture and politics is no worse than his military reputation!
Generally speaking, the entire Dahan is now thriving, and the development of various places is in full swing.

The big man is developing very well, and Huo Shan's personal situation has not stopped, and Huo Shan's personal situation is the biggest thing in the eyes of some people, not one of them.

And these people include Liu Che, Wei Zifu, Princess Wei, Liu Ju, Wei Qing, Ping Yang, Huo Guang and others.

And the most important thing in their hearts is naturally Huo Shan's marriage, and a group of people are not weighing one, but three, four, five or six.

The champion Hou's lineage has always been unhappy. Huo Shan is the only son of Huo Qubing. In his previous life, Huo Guang had seven daughters and only one son.

Moreover, Huo Shan knew that Huo Guang had only one son in his life, and later he lost everything.

As for whether Huo Guang is from the lineage of the champion Hou, of course he is. From the day he was taken to Chang'an by Lao Huo, he was the lineage of the champion Hou.

As for Huo Yun and Huo Shan in the past and future, they are not from the lineage of the champion Hou. It is said that they came from the ancestral land of Pingyang, Hedong before Huo Guang died. It is also said that they are Huo Guang's sons, a pair of twins.

No matter whose sons they are, they are all Huo Qubing's grandsons in terms of etiquette.

Huo Guang divided his [-] households and closed them, and restored the title of champion marquis, so that Huo Qubing could have incense and sacrifices, so that he would not be cut off.

It is very interesting that Liu Xun, Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne not as the grandson of Liu Ju, the son of Liu Jin, but as the younger brother of Liu Ju, the son of Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty.

It looks like the seniority is messed up, but there is no way.

Because if he came to the throne with his real identity, someone would have a closer relationship with Han Zhaodi Liu Fuling than him.

This person is Liu Xu, the King of Guangling, this idiot who can carry a tripod, he is Liu Fuling's elder brother.

Far away, if the family of Champion Hou is not prosperous, Huo Shan will naturally have more sons, so naturally he will marry more wives.

There is only one wife, but there can be many concubines!

Huo Shan had a normal attitude towards this, and was a little happy.

Who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, and I still marry several.

Take your time to choose, and I will take all of them after the selection.
