Chu Huan opened his mouth, his face showing a look of astonishment, but he quickly smiled and said: "Miss Yujiao is getting married? This is a great thing, and the governor is here to congratulate you first, hahaha... Yujiao The girl is heroic, and I don't know which hero is so blessed to have a daughter-in-law like Miss Yujiao...!" But I sighed in my heart, with Gan Yujiao's temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to subdue her, and I don't know if it is Who the hell would marry this tigress.

Gan Yujiao frowned and said, "Are you happy?"

Chu Huan was taken aback, and wondered, "Miss Yujiao is about to get married, so shouldn't the Governor be happy for you and General Gan?"

Gan Yujiao sighed: "If Master Chu knows who is marrying me, I'm afraid he won't be happy."

"Oh?" Chu Huan was a little taken aback, thinking that I have nothing to do with your marriage, no matter who you marry, as long as you don't marry me, I will applaud you, how can you be unhappy.

Gan Yujiao took a sip of the gruel, and then asked, "Master Chu, and the common people in Xiguan, can they all drink rice porridge like this?"

Chu Huan didn't know why she suddenly asked this question. After thinking about it for a while, his expression became serious, and he shook his head and said, "To be honest, there are still a large number of people in Xiguan who can't even drink this kind of porridge. Miss Yujiao must know it too. After the people from Xiliang invaded, the Qin State did not expect the Northwest Army to be defeated so quickly, so many people and supplies had no time to evacuate, and a large number of supplies were seized by the people of Xiliang, especially those from various places in Xiguan at that time. The stock of the official warehouse was also looted... The food sent by the imperial court was not only used to relieve the victims, but also to be used as military food. !"

Gan Yujiao frowned, and her expression was solemn.

"When the governor came to the northwest, it should be said that it was a mess. More than half of the people were displaced in other places and became refugees. Not to mention gruel, even wild vegetables were hard to eat." Chu Huan said with a wry smile: "So The first thing the Governor has to do here is to let them eat food...!"

"I heard that your harvest in Xiguan is very good this year. If so, the common people still can't eat?" Gan Yujiao asked.

Chu Huan was curious, and wondered how Gan Yujiao became interested in the people's livelihood, but since she asked, she couldn't help but answer, and explained: "Miss Yujiao, do you know the saying that more porridge is less? Yes, this year's harvest is really good. Yes, a lot of grain has been harvested, but Miss Yujiao may not know how many people there are in Xiguan. If the common people really want to eat, they have to grow grain on a large scale. If they eat all the harvest this year, where will it come from? So the grain harvested this year will be distributed according to the type of grain according to the land equalization order, and it will be planted immediately when the spring begins. It has been a very difficult year, from top to bottom, we must tighten our belts and tide over the difficulties together...!"

Gan Yujiao nodded slightly, and asked, "Lord Chu, the common people say that after the implementation of the Land Equalization Order, there will be hope in Xiguan. Because I can get a field, so I return to my hometown to farm...!"

"Refugees who have fallen into bandits have no choice but to take risks." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since the order of land equalization has been implemented and they have land to plant, they will of course not continue to rebel. Miss Yujiao, In fact, the common people’s requirements are not high, as long as they are fed and clothed, they will be satisfied, and the Land Equalization Order has given them hope, and with hope, they will naturally go forward.”

"Then will Xiguan continue to implement the land equalization order?" Gan Yujiao asked.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "I dare not say this, but there is one thing that the governor can guarantee. As long as the governor is in Xiguan for one day, the land equalization order will be firmly implemented. This is the basis for the governor to govern Xiguan. Shaking... But if the governor is not in Xiguan, then we don't know how the officials will treat the land equalization order...!"

"Master Chu, I really want to ask, since the Land Equalization Order has such great benefits for the people, why don't other places implement the Land Equalization Order?" Gan Yujiao stared at Chu Huan, "For example, Beishan Road, Tianshan Road, or even Inside the pass?"

Chu Huan looked at Gan Yujiao, shook his head and smiled and said, "Miss Yujiao, you may not understand that any change in policy will benefit some people, but it will also hurt the interests of others at the same time. This is even more so. Although the implementation of the land equalization order benefits the majority of people and hurts the interests of a small group of people, those small group of people are all powerful and powerful. Throughout the ages, the policies implemented by the state have Often, the interests of the small group of people will be guaranteed first, and only under this premise will some benefits be properly given to the majority of people."

Gan Yujiao said: "In other words, those powerful and powerful eat delicacies from mountains and seas, while most people can only drink leftovers that they can't finish?"

Chu Huan gave a thumbs up, and said: "Miss Yujiao can understand a little bit, that's the reason. Let's talk about the land equalization order. If it is implemented in Beishan, the first thing is to seize the land. There are many ways in the Great Qin Dynasty. There are countless gentry and rich merchants. There is a large piece of land under the house, Miss Yujiao, do you really think that the government knows all about their land? The gentry and rich are divided into two categories. One is an official in the imperial court. Rewards do not have to pay taxes, and the other category pays taxes, but they conceal their land properties... Xiguan has picked up land this time, and there have been five times the difference between the actual land and the reported land, and concealing the land is equivalent to avoiding taxes. ...!"

"Does the government not care about tax evasion?"

"Of course." Chu Huan said with a smile, "but how? Of course they will take out money to manage the government, and even if they really go to check the land, they will all be sent with money. No one will really check. Think about it, together There are hundreds of squires, they hit one, that is, they hit a piece, and the government still relies on these people to help govern the place, without their help, it would be difficult for the government to enforce orders...!"

Gan Yujiao opened her eyes wide, obviously she didn't understand the way of flowers and flowers in it before.

"Therefore, to seize the land, first offend a large number of gentry. The land occupied by many gentry has not been registered in the government at all. It is official land and wasteland that were seized privately. Once the land is seized, these lands will inevitably be returned to the government. Do you think those gentry can agree? And among them, many officials of the government are the first to be among them, knowingly breaking the law, colluding with those local gentry...!" Chu Huan shook his head, "Even if the official land is really taken back, according to the land equalization order Do you think those squires will be satisfied with the distribution of land? In the past, the common people used to be the oxen and horses for the squires and the wealthy. Throughout the year, it was a problem to even feed their stomachs. They were squeezed by those squires and riches. Now the common people have their own land. One-third of an acre of land I cultivate honestly, without worrying about food and clothing, still need to be oppressed by the squire and the rich? The squire and the rich do not manipulate the people at will like before. If they want to do farm work, they can only hire people for money... This They have lost a lot more than before, and of course they are not satisfied."

"So that's how it is." Gan Yujiao obviously understood a little bit, "You mean that the other provinces don't implement the land equalization order, because the government is afraid of the squire's opposition, so they dare not do so?"

"This is the main reason. Not only the country gentry and tycoons are the ones who forcibly occupied the land, but many officials themselves also occupied the land secretly. Once the investigation is carried out, what should we do if we turn around and investigate ourselves?" Chu Huan said with a faint smile: "So one thing more is worse than one thing less. It harms the interests of powerful people. People in power will naturally not do it, so it is impossible to implement the land equalization order."

"Since that's the case, why can you go to Xiguan?" Gan Yujiao asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that the gentry in Xiguan will object?"

"If it wasn't for the people from Xiliang who once attacked Xiguan and made it a mess, it would be a dream for me to implement the land equalization order in Xiguan alone." Chu Huan said slowly: "In the final analysis, Xiguan has The special place in Xiguan is due to the environment. Although it is not easy to implement the land equalization order in this environment, it is not impossible, so I implemented it, and it has become what it is now... In fact, there must be many people in Xiguan who are dissatisfied. I really hate to want to tear my corpse into ten thousand pieces, but it has come to this point, it is not easy for those people to stir up trouble and overthrow the order of land equalization."

Gan Yujiao nodded slightly, and finally asked: "So, once you leave, or if you change the governor, the Xiguan Land Equalization Order may be abolished, and the common people will suffer again?"

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Who knows what will happen in the future... Girl Yujiao, while eating, she said that the porridge is cold, haha, why are you so interested in Juntian Ling? Could it be that Miss Yujiao wants to come to Shuoquan?" , to help the Governor implement the Land Equalization Order?"

Gan Yujiao looked dignified, and did not answer right away. After a while, she finally said, "Master Chu, the Beishan Army has already reached the border of Chen Bing. If Xiguan is attacked by others, of course the Land Equalization Order cannot be carried out?"

"That's why the governor is ready to raise his troops to meet the enemy." Chu Huan said solemnly: "Miss Yujiao is right. Once Xiguan falls into the hands of others, the Juntian Order is likely to die halfway. It cannot be allowed to happen, no matter what, to keep Xiguan, only when the safety of Xiguan is ensured, can the Land Equalization Order continue to be implemented, and the common people can live a good life.”

Gan Yujiao sighed: "It seems that the people in Xiguan are right. They all say that you are a good official, an honest official bestowed by God... The eyes of the people are the brightest, and they can tell the good from the bad."

"Miss Yujiao praised me so much, I feel a little embarrassed." Chu Huan said with a hearty smile, "Drink the porridge quickly, if it's not enough, add another bowl...!"

"Lord Chu, you haven't asked me who I want to marry!" Gan Yujiao finally said.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The one who can fall in love with Miss Yujiao is of course an upright man. Ordinary people, of course Miss Yujiao won't fall in love with her."

Gan Yujiao sighed, but she had already clenched her fists: "You're wrong, the one who wants to marry me is not some kind of upright man, but just a dude, and my wife can't even look down on her...!"

"That's weird." Chu Huan frowned and said, "Since Miss Yujiao doesn't like her, why did she want to marry him?" It's a lifelong event, shouldn't it be so sloppy?"

Gan Yujiao sneered and said, "I haven't agreed yet, but some people have secretly decided to make this happen...!"

"Miss Yujiao, may I ask, who is that person?" For some reason, Chu Huan's keen intuition made Chu Huan feel ominous, "Who wants to marry the girl?"
