Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 323 Doing things
For people from all walks of life in Taishan County, although the change of owner in Taishan County is a bit sudden, it will not cause panic, especially ordinary people. Will the change of owner in Taishan County affect their lack of food?

But for the gentry tyrants everywhere, when they learned that the person who took over Taishan County was Chu Nan, they couldn't sit still.

As a neighbor of Xuzhou, everyone knows who Chu Nan is, and what they have done in the past year is even more shocking. Hundreds of noble families in Xuzhou have been killed, and now they go to Xuzhou, and there is not even a place to visit their relatives. Although the name of Chu Rentu was somewhat joking and demeaning, it can also be seen how deep the hatred and resentment these nobles have towards Chu Nan.

Of course, Chu Nan was hated by others, and his ruthless means were one reason, but the more important reason was not his bloodthirsty nature, but the New Deal he implemented. Chu Nan’s New Deal was almost completely on the opposite side of the noble class !

For the gentry, if you are only bloodthirsty, it doesn't matter, who doesn't have a little hobby?

Everyone let you a little bit, pay more taxes and it will pass.

But Chu Nan is different. The new policy is to use the flesh and blood of the gentry to feed the poor family and the common people.

In fact, looking closely at the new tax system in southern Chu, everyone except the gentry is benefiting. The imperial court can win the hearts of the people and pay taxes. The poor have the opportunity to obtain resources that they did not have before. Burden, only a large number of resources in the hands of the gentry have been continuously exploited with the implementation of the new tax, who would be willing to change it?

Although Chu Nan said that he would not kill people for no reason, your new policy did not leave a way for the gentry to survive at all!

Of course, it is only in the eyes of the gentry that there is no way to survive. In fact, Chu Nan has room for it, but the living standard has dropped a little. Living with a million dollars is actually very good, but it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Originally, the life of an emperor, but suddenly being a wealthy household, which gentry would like it?

Therefore, from Xuzhou to Jianghuai and then to Runan, the promotion of the New Deal was almost paved all the way with the blood of the gentry. Because of the relationship between the Chen family in Xuzhou, the gentry were almost killed, and the few remaining families were also because of the lack of momentum. It's wonderful, run fast, or stay and voluntarily give up the power and wealth in your hands and fully support the New Deal, only to escape your life.

Jianghuai gentry does not have one out of ten, and Runan does not know it yet, but the situation where even the three elders are killed, I am afraid it is even more terrifying and bloody.

The number of words in the new tax is actually not many, but in just a few hundred words, it reveals contempt for the gentry everywhere, and tramples on everything that the gentry has achieved through generations of hard work.

However, after Chu Nan took over the county mansion, he did not act immediately, but this did not bring comfort to the gentry. He did not act only because the time had not come. No one believed that he would stop here, and some people had other thoughts , although the assassination feels a bit low-end, but if it succeeds, the harvest will be huge.

After all, Chu Nan doesn't have many people around him now. If we join hands to kill Chu Nan at this time, not only will the Taishan gentry be saved from a catastrophe, but the so-called New Deal will also disappear completely. good thing.

However, before they could put this idea into practice, this plan was aborted as the five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Pei Yuanshao took over in the afternoon.

What is surprising is that in the next few days, Chu Nan was terribly quiet. He just sorted out the county annals and occasionally called in officials to ask about the situation. The gentry could even get every detail of Chu Nan's question on the same day , but they are all ordinary inquiries, without any clues.

On the second day, Chu Nan issued an order to let county magistrates and county officials from all over the country set off for Fenggao immediately upon receiving the order. These county magistrates are on their way. After all, they come by themselves. The farthest one may take half a month. If there is an army to pick them up, the speed will be much faster.

However, it was already the fifth day when the county magistrates and county officials from all over the country arrived.

Xue Ti also returned on this day.

"Everyone is no stranger to Xuzhou's New Deal, and I never thought that in this land of Mount Tai, there would be a personal butcher. It's really a mistake." Chu Nan looked at the crowd of county magistrates and county officials crowded in the lobby Here, the originally spacious hall seemed a bit crowded at the moment.

"Your lord is joking, it's just the countrymen who gossip about their tongues. They only hear Xuzhou killing people, so they spread such nonsense, but they don't know that Xuzhou is now under great rule, and they are a bunch of fools. You don't want to be as knowledgeable as them." The county magistrate smiled at Chu Nan.

"Great governance is out of the question." Chu Nan waved his hands and said, "I'm not inviting you here to inquire about crimes. Besides, why should you be serious with the people? They can scold you whatever they want; Speaking of the New Deal, since you all know about it, the promotion of the New Deal will depend on your help."

Some of the county magistrates looked ugly, but most of them were calm. After all, although you have military power, you can't let these big soldiers do everything. It's not what they say when the government order is issued to the local area. What's the deal?Everyone is old-fashioned, and the official thing is to give you enough face. As for whether to do it or not, it depends on whether there is any benefit.

Not to mention all of them, but most of them who can stay in the county magistrate for a few years have their own set of logic in handling things. That's a matter of ability, and there must be no problem with attitude. Only some stunned youths will show their emotions on their faces.

"Of course, you have only heard of the specific content of the New Deal, and are not familiar with it, so I transferred a group of people from Xuzhou to assist you in implementing the New Deal.

The content of the New Deal is not too much. First, measure the fields, and the fields in various places must be consistent with those recorded in the county annals. Anything that is not recorded should be returned to the court;
Second, check the land deeds, which can be regarded as a supplement to the first one. These two are the main ones. Everyone, but there will always be some black apples, and the governance of the court cannot all rely on self-consciousness. To avoid collusion between officials and businessmen, I asked them to temporarily seal up your official seals. After you go back, they will cooperate with you in implementing the New Deal and tell you how to implement it. "

Everyone heard the words, and their complexions gradually became a little ugly. At this moment, everyone finally remembered why Chu Nan wanted to recruit them here. You must know that the farthest county is more than 300 miles away from here, but Chu Nan sent them here. This is the first time I have seen the army go to pick up people and rush on with the force of the army.

"Another point is the reform of the tax system. How many fields are there and how much tax should be paid? Here are the detailed rules. Each of you has a copy. You can study it slowly on the way back."

Chu Nan launched the new policy that had already been prepared. In fact, the most fundamental aspect of the new policy is the new tax system. The reason why so many bloody storms have been caused is because the new tax system has affected the interests of the entire gentry circle and was backlashed by the entire gentry circle. .

"Emissary!" A young county magistrate stood up abruptly, looked at Chu Nan's expression unkindly, and said, "Have you ever thought about how much turmoil this move will cause? Mount Tai is next to Qingzhou. Once there is turmoil, wouldn't it be easier for the enemy to take advantage of it?" I hope you will think twice, this is not a wise move."

"You are the county magistrate, do your own thing well. As for the enemy, I will deal with them myself. The New Deal must be implemented. I believe in your abilities. It is not difficult to do these small things well." Chu Nan waved his hand, with an arbitrary look on his face, It made people's teeth itch, but there was nothing they could do about him.

"I hope that the Lord will not regret it!" The county magistrate snorted coldly, and walked away without even taking the tax law that Chu Nan prepared for them.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you take it or not. The people Chu Nan transferred from Xuzhou are all aware of the new tax law and can help them promote it.

"Since you all don't object, then get the new tax law and go back to implement it as soon as possible." As for the county magistrate's offense, Chu Nan didn't care, as long as he can do things, but young people can't hide their emotions, I hope they don't leave If you go the wrong way, you won't even have the chance to change.

[The person who objected just now, you just don't treat him as a human being! ? 】

The magistrates of the other counties complained secretly in their hearts, but no one refuted it openly. There are many passionate people in the officialdom, but most of them are mature and prudent, and they will not openly turn against others. They have accepted the tax law, and then brought their respective county officials leave in a hurry.

Seeing everyone leave, Xue Ti looked at Chu Nan and said, "Your Majesty and General Xu have been publicizing the new tax in the army for the past few days, and this is why?"

Chu Nan nodded: "Although the new tax law has a lot of harm to the gentry, it has a lot of benefits for the common people and poor families. Most of the soldiers in the army are ordinary people, and they belong to the target of the new tax law. But if you don't make it clear, even the common people If you don’t support me, why don’t you let those gentry support you? Since you have offended the gentry, you need new forces to join in. I can take the lead in the charge, but I can’t charge alone.”

"So, it is the original defenders of Mount Tai who are in charge of promoting this time?" Xue Ti looked at Chu Nan and said, he originally thought that Chu Nan would use the troops he brought.

"Brother Xiaowei Huiyan." Chu Nan nodded and said: "We are outsiders after all when we come here. If we kill too many people, it will still affect the hearts of the people. Whoever said just now is right, we still have to guard against Qingzhou. Chaos is okay. But it can’t be too messy, it’s best to let your own people do it.”

Runan can't help it, he has to kill a large area of ​​the rear, so he used extreme means to kill all the way, but if there is a way, Chu Nan will not be so extreme, the situation is different now, Mount Tai has been attached, It is easier for people to accept the killing again, and it is easier for people to accept the benefits of the New Deal.
