Chu Huan has been in a good mood these past few days, just because good news came one after another.

The first good news came from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The case of Gongsun Chu has already been concluded. In order to eliminate dissidents, Dongfangxin and his gang have deliberately framed Gongsun Chu and many other officials. The truth of this case is revealed. Gongsun Chu and others People's crime of treason has also been rehabilitated.

For Chu Huan, this is of course good news.

In all fairness, it is by no means an easy matter to govern the four states of Xiguan. Although Chu Huan can decide the general direction, the specific implementation still requires some experienced officials.

Gongsun Chu and other officials are all old officials in Xiguan. They are very familiar with the situation in Xiguan and are familiar with implementing policies. It is only because they have been acting as scapegoats before. Since the Ministry of Punishment came down to approve the document, Chu Huan naturally made a decisive decision and immediately issued a notice to vindicate Gongsun Chu and others.

Gongsun Chu never thought that he would be able to come out of the cell alive one day. Chu Huan rescued them from the execution ground, and in order to prevent someone from harming them secretly, he kept them in the Imperial Guard camp, even if the two hundred Imperial Guards were mobilized later. After leaving, Chu Huan still gave them enough security guarantee.

The Ministry of Punishment issued a document, and Chu Huan ordered the official document to be sent to Gongsun Chu. Together with the official document, there was also a Governor's Approval Letter for the reinstatement of the official.

Dong Shizhen, governor of Yuezhou, is dead, and there has been a vacancy for a governor of Yuezhou. Gongsun Chu was the governor of Yuezhou before, but now that the official has returned to his original post, his mood is very different.

Not only Gongsun Chu, but other officials implicated before were all restored to their posts under the swipe of the governor. This not only made Gongsun Chu and other officials feel grateful, but also made the people of Shuoquan rejoice. [

When Gongsun Chu was in office before, he worked conscientiously and had a good reputation in Yuezhou. However, when he was imprisoned, the common people murmured in their hearts. Now that the truth is revealed, people can’t help but feel that Gongsun Chu can escape from death. Huan made great contributions, and Chu Huan's ability to continue to appoint Gongsun Chu also showed that Chu Huan was a good official.

The two most important things in Xiguan at present, one of which is naturally the training of soldiers and horses. Although Jinhe and Hezhou were pacified in a short period of time, Chu Huan is also well aware of the shortcomings of the Pingxi Army.

The composition of the Pingxi Army is quite complicated, and you can't tell it normally. When attacking Hezhou, Chu Huan had already seen that there was a serious disorganization in the internal coordination of the Pingxi Army. Maintaining a unified combat effectiveness is almost a fatal weakness for a legion.

After Chu Huan returned to Shuoquan, the Beishan army immediately withdrew from the border, and Xuanyuan Shengcai rushed back to Shuoquan after deploying the troops from Jiazhou.

Xuanyuan Shengcai was also aware of the shortcomings of the Pingxi Army. He knew that Pei Ji was good at training troops, so he went to visit Pei Ji specially for this purpose, so that the Pingxi Army could be fully integrated into a powerful combat force as soon as possible.

Pei Ji's Governor-General's Guards drilled day and night, and the fourth battalion of Fenglin Huoshan had basically taken shape in a short period of time. According to Pei Ji's plan, the drills of the four battalions were divided into two methods, one It is a single battalion "drill", each battalion strictly trains its own job, and another training method is to set a fixed time, let the four battalions combine together, and train the cooperation of the four battalions.

The training of the army was left to Pei Ji and Xuanyuan Shengcai, so Chu Huan didn't need to put too much thought into it.

In addition to training soldiers and horses, another major event in Xiguan is naturally Juntian Policy.

The promulgation of the land equalization policy certainly made many arable farmers rejoice at the beginning, but many people doubted it. Since ancient times, they have only heard that the gentry in the government tried their best to exploit the land from the common people, but they have never heard of it. The land will be distributed to the common people, so many people only think that this is just a trick of the government. The purpose is just to let the refugees living outside return to their hometowns and continue to be exploited by the government.

Because of suspicion, there were actually not many people returning home from outside at the beginning, and the current situation in Xiguan is that a large number of refugees are living outside, and there are large areas of barren fields that people cultivate.

When Wei Ji presented the land equalization policy to Chu Huanjin, he had already explained the two conditions that the land equalization policy must meet. One is a large number of barren fields, and the second is a population that can match the fields. Nowadays, Xiguan has a large population. If the refugees cannot return, the land equalization policy will lose its effectiveness greatly.

Chu Huan also knows that many refugees are still on the sidelines. Seeing that it is almost autumn, the land equalization must be fully implemented before the spring plowing tomorrow. If a year is wasted in vain, for the northwest where there is already a lack of food, if a year is wasted, many people will inevitably die of famine due to lack of food.

In fact, there is not enough time. Although Wei Ji led people to measure the fields and count the population day and night, the progress was not fast. After Gongsun Chu came out, he learned about the specific affairs of the Juntian Policy. It is necessary to wait until all the fields have been fully inspected before subdividing the fields. You can first implement land equalization in several villages and towns near Shuoquan. The purpose is to let all the people know that the land equalization policy mentioned by the government is not bluff.

For this reason, Gongsun Chu personally selected several villages and towns, counted the local population and the number of acres of fields, and then, according to the content of the land equalization policy proposed by Wei Ji, took the lead in awarding fields to the people in these villages and towns. The people in the field, while getting the land, also got the title deed signed by the Department of Housekeeping.

It is very clear in the land deed that the ownership of the land shared by the common people is still in the hands of the government within 15 years. If there is no special situation during this period, but the land is abandoned and left to be barren, then the government will have it at any time. The right to take back the land, but as long as the land can be cultivated for 15 years, the ownership of the land will automatically belong to the people. [

It even stated that after the people obtain the ownership of the land, the land can be passed on from generation to generation, and anyone has the right to take the land, but it also clearly states that the exchange and sale of private land is prohibited, and only the cultivation of generations is allowed. For buying and selling, the government can not only take back the land, but both the buyer and the seller must bear the responsibility.

In fact, many people can also understand that the main purpose of the land equalization policy is to nail the common people to the fields, so that they can live on the land steadily for generations, and cannot privately buy and sell the land. In fact, it cannot be called complete privatization.

However, for the common people, it is already a remarkable life to have a piece of their own land to cultivate, and to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. This is the life that the common people yearn for. People will want to sell the land they depend on for a living, and the content of the Land Equalization Order is enough to make them excited.

Almost at the same time that several villages and towns were allotted the land, the government's second order had already been promulgated. This was a supplement to Wei Ji's policy of equalizing the land.

Prior to this, many gentry families could avoid corvee. As Wei Ji once said, after the founding of the Qin State, a series of policies were issued. Many gentry families had the privilege of exempting taxes. These families enjoyed the greatest resources. Taxes, even corvees, are not required to be borne. On the contrary, the common people, who are extremely heavily taxed, bear heavy corvees.

For the reconstruction of Xiguan, corvee service in the past few years is naturally indispensable. People have to bear a lot of corvee service for building embankments, building roads, and digging ditches.

For this reason, Wei Ji, in addition to the land equalization policy, specially proposed the strategy of distributing labor into households and exchanging taxes and labor. The entire Xiguan, whether it is ordinary poor people or gentry rich families, will bear the same corvee and treat them equally. , but on this basis, he proposed the method of interchanging taxes and burials. If those gentry and wealthy families are reluctant to participate in labor labor like ordinary people, they can use taxes to offset their own corvees. Similarly, if poor people want to If you want to improve your family's life, you can add paid corvee in addition to the corvee you should bear.

After these decrees were promulgated, the common people cheered. The refugees living outside knew that someone had already allocated the land, and they returned to their homeland without hesitation. In just a short time, a large number of Xiguan refugees returned to their hometown with their families. For the huge migration, Xuanyuan Shengcai mobilized troops to guard the various checkpoints and conduct strict investigations.

For Chu Huan, this is of course good news. He even got news at one point that some bandits who had fallen into bandits, after knowing these decrees were promulgated, abandoned their weapons and registered with the Department of Household Affairs, just like Wei Ji As expected at the beginning, many bandits who fell into the grass and turned into bandits were "forced" by ordinary people who could not survive. Now that the government implements the new policy, these people think that there will be land to plant, so why would they want to "lick" on the edge of the knife? day of blood.

The original intention of Chu Huan to implement the policy of equalizing land is to restore vitality to Xiguan, so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and those "rebellious" bandits can abandon their pockets for the people. Of course, Chu Huan is happy to see it.

The land equalization reform in Xiguan is in full swing, and the people are jubilant, but after all, this matter hurts the interests of the Xiguan gentry. Chu Huan knows that the Xiguan gentry is headed by the seven surnames of Xiguan, and it is necessary to have more contact with the seven surnames of Xiguan, but Mrs. Su It is clear that if Xiguan remains a pool of stagnant water, the seven surnames in Xiguan will not be able to restore their former glory after all. Only when the entire Xiguan prospers can the gentry of Xiguan restore their former glory. Dissatisfied, fortunately, Chu Huan implemented the land equalization policy this time, mainly to return the barren land and the owner's land to the government. Although it also caused a certain blow to the tenants who got the land and the seven surnames of Xiguan, the gentry knew it very well. The purpose of Chu Huan's implementation of the New Deal is not to deal with the local gentry, but to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people in Xiguan to cultivate the land.

Beishan Xiao Huanzhang did not break his promise on the issue of farming tools. When the refugees from Xiguan came back to their hometowns, many farming tools were transported from Beishan. Road, there are also a large number of farm tools transported over.

Xiguan implements the new policy of land equalization, so news of this has naturally spread to the inside of the pass. Qiao Mingtang, governor of Xishan, and Yuan Chongshang, governor of Anyi, all have some connections with Chu Huan. I also did my best.
