Chapter 354
In Jizhou's pastoral mansion, Han Fu summoned all the civil servants to discuss matters, and the prefects who were stationed in various places also rushed back.

This time, it was a discussion planned by Han Wu himself, and it involved the development of people's livelihood in Jizhou within five years.

Bing Yuan, Guan Ning, Tian Feng, Meng Gong, Cui Yan, Liu Ye, Zeng Guofan, Xin Ping, Xun You and even Zhang Yang were all present, but Guo Jia did not attend.

Guo Jia asked himself that even though he was proficient in government affairs, he didn't want to deal with government affairs.

Military affairs is his job.

Han Wu knelt and sat beside his father. Although he didn't like this position very much, he still endured it.

Han Fu took out the bamboo slips, cleared his throat, and said, "According to the preliminary plan of the governor of Bingzhou, it is decided to set up a new official in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Hetao area—Tuntian Order."

"The garrison order manages grain planting, hoards the part of the grain and grass tax that belongs to the army, and at the same time reduces the taxes of the people in various places. Use the garrison order to check and balance the corruption of officials in various places, and at the same time increase the salaries of officials in the three states. High salary and low income.”

"Everyone, is this plan feasible?"

Han Wu narrowed his eyes and smiled secretly: "Hey! In the previous life, it was Cao Cao's plan to implement the farmland order. Today I will steal it and it will definitely be beneficial. It just so happens that Zeng Guofan is currently overqualified. Let him command the grain and grass of the three states. not bad."

After hearing Mr. Han Jizhou's explanation, Xun You said directly: "Mr. Governor, the officials believe that the Tuntian Order is of great benefit to the development of the people's livelihood, and the Youzhou plan should also be included in it."

"Youzhou is an important frontier area. The grain and grass transported to Youzhou every year is enough to feed three or four thousand households. If we can also carry out farming in Youzhou, our army can capture Yangzhou within three years!"

"Furthermore, the lower officials recommended Zeng Guofan as the Tuntian Commander of the four prefectures. His talent is enough to take on this important task."

When Han Wu heard that Xun You, who had always been at odds with Zeng Guofan at the beginning, recommended Zeng Guofan, his eyes lit up.

It seems that Zeng Guofan has been recognized by Xun You by virtue of his talent.

Han Wu and his father looked at each other, then said with a smile: "Then other people can suggest? Prefect Zhang Yang, do you have any dissatisfaction with this position as the Tuntian Commander?"

Zhang Yang is the most embarrassing and special existence among the crowd, and he knows it well.

In terms of talent, he is absolutely not qualified to sit with others.

But the reason why Han Wu asked him to come, Zhang Yang knew that it was Han Wu who was warning him!

The wealth of Shangdang County has surpassed that of other counties in Bingzhou, so it will naturally face the problem of corruption by officials.

Now that the garrison order is set up, Zhang Yang knows that if he doesn't deal with corruption again, Han Wu may not politely invite him to come and sit down.

Zhang Yang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "The lower official has no objection, no objection!"

Quickly stood up and expressed his opinion to Han Wu, Zhang Yang knew that as long as he did not use military power, at least his life would not be in danger.

A rough-looking man walked in from outside the hall, but he was actually very calm.

"Oh? Lord Manfu is here? Just in time, Man Chong will tell everyone about the newly established official law. From today onwards, if the amount of corruption reaches a certain amount, behead! Behead, but not involve his family."

"High salaries, if you are dissatisfied with your salary, you can report it. But if someone dares to rely on his military exploits or other merits to embezzle ink, this is an act of humiliating the people, and he will be killed without mercy!"

Han Wu explained a sentence for Man Chong, which won the approval of everyone present.

Now the salaries of officials in Jizhou have doubled compared with the original salaries of the imperial court.If there are still people who are greedy for ink under such circumstances, it is really unreasonable.

Han Wu smiled slightly, looked at his father, and said again: "Okay! Since you all have no objections, let Zeng Guofan introduce the matter of farming. I'll go first. You can have lunch at the State Shepherd's Mansion today to help Zeng Guofan perfected the matter of farming. Gongda, after the matter of farming is completed, an order will be issued in the name of the prefecture's pastoral government."

"As long as those who are willing to come to our four northern states to be the common people, they can get half an acre of fertile land and half a year's rations for three families. This is not limited to the land of the Han Dynasty. If the foreign races in the north are willing to surrender, it will naturally be effective. The population of the four northern states must be Raise up in three years!"

After finishing speaking, Han Wu left the State Shepherd's Mansion and returned to Hexiang Bieyuan.

Hua Mulan is pregnant, and Han Wu wants to go back to spend as much time with her as possible.

Moreover, Zhen Mi has also shown signs of being pregnant recently, and Su Xiaoxiao is also very likely to have a second child.

……

Five days later, the people in the four northern prefectures were shocked, and they all applauded the state pastoral government's order!
Raising food taxes from the beginning can privatize land, which is the best rule for civilians.

Now that the post of Tuntian Order is set up, it is no longer possible for officials from all over the country to oppress the people and collect taxes privately.

In just five days, this news has spread to Wuling in Jingzhou!
"Brother, have you heard the regulations issued by the Jizhou Shepherd's Mansion? As long as people in other states and counties are willing to go to Ji, Qing, You, and Bingzhou, they can get half a year's rations for three people and half an acre of fertile land! And not to go Be a tenant, but have your own land!"

"Is it only half an mu of fertile land? But half an mu is not a lot. I heard that Jizhou's grain tax is one-third of the output. Although it sounds like a lot, two-thirds belong to me! Thinking about it this way , I really want to go there.”

"Huh? I just said it casually, brother, don't even think about it! My family of three has to walk thousands of miles to get to Jizhou, and I probably starved to death before arriving. Besides, there are so many bandits outside the city, I don't dare to go that far place."

"Hey! I'm different. I'm alone and have nothing to worry about. I'm going to sell my house and go to Jizhou! I'm still strong and strong. Maybe I can earn enough money in Jizhou and marry a wife to carry on the family line! It's just thousands of miles away. It's better than being a tenant in my hometown!"

……

In Wuling City, most of the people were discussing this matter, and the situation had reached Liu Bei's ears.

Liu Bei urgently called Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang to discuss countermeasures, and they had nothing to do about it.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Master, this Han Wu is really smart, we can't do anything about it. Of course we can follow the Tuntian Order, but we don't have enough money to rectify the officials within five years, and imitating it now can only be counterproductive."

"If the Tuntian Order is to be implemented, it must need the support of officials from all over the country. Jizhou pays attention to high salaries to support honesty. We have just won Jingzhou and do not have enough money to support officials."

Sighed helplessly, Zhuge Liang had nothing to do about it.

What Han Wu used was Yangmou, and what he was fighting for was his background, so he couldn't resist at all.

There are rivers in Eastern Wu, mountains and rivers in Western Shu, and the population of Sun Quan and Cao Cao will not be greatly affected.

But Jingzhou is different. It is not too far from Jizhou. If the people want to migrate, it is difficult to control.

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and sighed, "From today onwards, my lord has ordered the city gates to be closed according to the time. This is the case in all cities. If the people of Jingzhou run away, we will be in trouble."

Xu Shu also had nothing to do with Han Wu's garrison order. This is a real hard work, and those who have no background can only fall into the disadvantaged.
