"Why?"
Seeing that Wu Tiehu didn't step down after he took the order, he was eager to talk and stop. Wu Ming frowned and asked.
"I don't know what to say, but what to say."
Seeing Wu Ming's face, Wu Tiehu gritted his teeth and said immediately.
"It's the beginning again. Basically, there won't be any pain or pleasure. 90% of it is Suidiao..."
Wu sighed and supported his forehead with his hand.
Out of the case of the LORD God, no matter the whole world is turned upside down, it won't attract much attention from him.
Of course, I thought so in my heart, but I didn't show anything on my face: "I forgive you for being innocent, just say so!"
"Yes, sir
Wu Tiehu gritted his teeth: "since the marriage of the master, some people in the Wu family have jumped up and down. They are very impolite in their words. They even call their humble position" the slave of their son-in-law "to their face. It doesn't matter if the villains are broken to pieces. But if they pollute the master's name, they will die to blame."
"It's this..."
Wu Ming rubbed his eyebrows.
To tell you the truth, the people of the Wu family, on the one hand, are not angry with Wu pheasant's dictatorship, and on the other hand, they are afraid that he, an outsider, has usurped the great cause. All this has long been expected.
Especially at the time of sacrificing to ancestors, it is more and more obvious.
"Wu Tiehu, are you from the Wu family or the Wu family?"
Wu Ming asked softly.
"My subordinates are born of the Wu family. Death is the ghost of the Wu family!"
"Good!"
"Wu Ming said:" Wu pheasant married into my family, year-old sacrifice from husband, is it so obvious that you do not understand? "
If Wu Ming is really a son-in-law, he will have to follow Wu pheasant to Nanfeng County to worship Wu's ancestors. He can't even enter the ancestral hall, so he can only wait in the square outside.
There is a huge gap between the two.
"In the future, all those who are insulted to their masters, whether they are officials or members of the Wu family, will be arrested and dealt with severely. Do you understand?"
"I understand
Wu Tiehu eyes bright, salute again out.
"Can't help it?"
Wu Ming touched his chin and began to smile: "it seems that we must make a good example to others. By the way, we can promote Wu Tiehu to be a sheriff and take charge of Chu Feng's military power. It's his reward..."
……
Chu Fengjun City, Jiedushi mansion.
"My Lord, all the county magistrates have arranged for it, and all the officials are ready. It will not delay the spring ploughing in the coming year!"
In the side hall, there was a red sandalwood table, about three feet long and three feet wide, on which the official documents were piled up. Wu pheasant was dressed in a brocade robe, but she was also brave and valiant. At this time, her eyebrows were unfolding with Zeng Yu's report.
"Not bad!"
Wu pheasant nodded slightly, knowing that Zeng Yu was not easy.
After all, not every official can see that women are in charge of the government, and they even form a feudal regime.
Nanfeng County is OK. In chufeng County, with the Li family's defection, more county officials choose to go. How to select enough talents to govern is a waste of Wu pheasant's mind.
Immediately, Wen said, "I am a special envoy, and I have the right to levy and kill. Now I have set up the shogunate, which directly governs the two prefectures and fifteen counties. The original sheriff and the prefect have their own duties. You can be my shogunate."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zeng Yu bowed down calmly, but her heart was slightly moved.
Do you know that when Wu Chih set up Jiedushi mansion, he wanted to take over the power of the two prefectures and completely set up two prefectures? Is it not to cede power to others?
However, it was a vacant post to keep the sheriff and the prefect, which was specially arranged for the Li family, a noble family who had surrendered in advance.
As the shogunate that actually ruled the two counties, Chang Shi was equivalent to the prime minister. Although his official rank was not high, he was the Prime Minister of yin and Yang. He was in power and had the responsibility of being the leader to check and fill up the gaps. Wu Zhi attached great importance to him.
"I will do my best to die for the Lord!"
First of all, he saved his life, and then he knew what he was going to do. If he didn't want to repay him, Zeng Yu would be scolded by all the officials in the world and bear the name of a villain.
"Well! Agriculture is the foundation of the country. Spring ploughing is stable, and grain is harvested in autumn. When the warehouses are full of corn and wheat, the people of the two counties will no longer be surprised by the rule of the town, will they
Wu pheasant deeply knows that the people are greedy for benefits! Even though there is a lot of discussion in the four fields today, as long as they can survive one or two harvests, those people will not care which one dominates them.
What remains to be dealt with is the scholar bureaucrat class, which is the only one. First, their interests are damaged; second, their ideas are deeply rooted and hard to submit.
"Last time I ordered every family to be a good official, only a few people responded. Haha..."
Wu pheasant sneered: "this time many poor disciples are in the upper class. They can't blame this town any more. Who let them not grasp the opportunity before?"
"My Lord is wise!"
This is what happened to the officials in the government before.
Those aristocratic families, such as Junwang and Xianwang, were afraid to get involved. They had a big family and a big career, so they didn't dare to fight. Wu pheasant posted a list of talents directly. Regardless of their origin, they were talented and meritorious, and immediately attracted a large number of poor disciples who failed to succeed and wanted to be rich.
The way of promotion in this world is generally controlled by the aristocratic families. Now, when we meet this opportunity, why don't we try our best!
The higher the status, the more cherish the power and position, unwilling to change, but the cold gate is awe inspiring.
However, if Wu Ming were here, he would put it into practice.
Because the County households are the big landlord class, and the poor families are the small landlord class. Those who really have nothing and can break all the shackles are the lowest class in the society who have no place to stand and even have little personal autonomy.
Of course, he and Wu pheasant are both members of the "meat eater" class. Naturally, they will not turn their elbows out and betray their original class.
Even though in history, Cao Cao supported poor scholars and suppressed aristocratic families, it was also an internal struggle of the landlord class. There was nothing wrong with the common people!
After all, where could the peasants who had nothing in ancient times have the capital to read?
"I have two strategies!"
Wu pheasant is quite complacent, got up and walked two steps: "one Wen and one Wu, two pronged, three years later, will be able to win Dingzhou at one stroke!"
"I'm all ears!"
This is the policy agenda. It's a good opportunity for Zeng Yu to understand Shangyi's idea. Naturally, Zeng Yu raised her ears.
"One of the two strategies is to grant military service to the field! On the one hand, it is the examination and selection of scholars. "
At this point, Wu pheasant blushed slightly. She would never admit that she was still in the boudoir, and on the bed, Wu Ming casually mentioned her.
"Those who are awarded military merit should be graded according to the rank of soldiers. They should record their meritorious deeds in each battle. They should be promoted to the rank of nobility. They should be granted farmland according to their merit. They should be able to support the disabled and retired soldiers. The selection of local military equipment, Li Zheng and pavilion leaders should be given priority."
"In this way, the soldiers must use their lives, but they need a lot of ownerless land!"
As a civil servant, Zeng Yu was quite uncomfortable when she heard about this preferential policy for Wu Fu. However, when she thought of the troubled times and Wu Fu being in power, she couldn't tell.
"The second is to set up an imperial examination every year. Scholars from all walks of life, regardless of their origin or place of origin, can take the examination. They are given official positions by the subjects of Ming Suan, agronomy, Ping Shang and so on! Take this exam as a model, and it will be a case in the future! "
Wu pheasant is loud, but Zeng Yu's forehead exudes cold sweat: "so... So... I'm afraid it will cause criticism!"
But in my heart, it is very clear that it is more than criticism?
All along, the aristocratic families occupied the land and even the countryside, and controlled the rising channels. Even the local Lizheng, TingChang, and tax collectors were all members of their own family, which led to the spread of the roots and became a force that even the supreme administrator and the imperial court had to fear.
But now, if these two policies are carried out, I'm afraid that the rule of the aristocratic families will be shaken down immediately, and it will lead to a crazy counterattack!
"Censure? How little criticism has this town attracted? "
But Wu pheasant sneered: "even if it's wrong, it's in vain. Why don't you just break everything and start over?"
"My Lord is so bold and brave that I have to carry out these two strategies for him even if I am in a humble position."
Speaking of this, if we go on, it will be a difficult problem that can never be solved. What else can Zeng Yu say besides bowing down?
"Good!"
Wu pheasant jaw head: "don't worry, this town naturally knows the weight. When you slowly map it out, the first thing you should do is to teach the field military merit and grasp the heart of the army. In this way, you will be awe inspiring!"
It's a truism that political power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Naturally, Wu pheasant can't ignore this point: "if you want to give military merit to farmland, you need a lot of idle farmland. Since the troubled times, the two counties have been in a series of wars and disasters, and the people have been in exile. Now it's enough. You will report the statistics!"
"No!"
Zeng Yu found the documents and slowly told him, "this town governs chufeng and Nanfeng counties, among which there are eight counties in ChuFeng county and seven counties in Nanfeng County, with a total of 15 counties in two prefectures! The third is Yunping County, Hetai County, Cangtong county and Zhongxian County, and the fifth is... "
"Through the investigation of the officials, it is confirmed that there are 2.7 million mu of farmland and 300000 households in the 15 counties of the town... Now the government can still award the public farmland - 54300 Mu!"
"So few?"
Wu pheasant sighed, but he knew where the fields had gone.
Although there are nearly three million mu in the two counties, at least half of them are in the hands of the aristocratic families. They have good fields and fields, rich fields and fields, and they are surrounded by rich servants and maidservants. The tenants in the two counties have to bear more than 50% of the taxes, and even the government's apportionment and labor.
Unfortunately, the biggest one is Wu family! Especially after Wu pheasant conquered chufeng County, the local tyrants of Nanfeng County, led by Wu family, started a new round of expansion carnival.
"Hey, hey, big rat! Big rat
Wu pheasant sneered twice. He was so murderous that he even made Zeng Yudu feel weak: "if you copy a few of them, you can't enjoy the fields and military expenses, and even have the seeds for the spring of next year!"
"The Lord must not
Zeng yuputong got down on his knees, sweating like a spring.
"This town knows how powerful it is, so it will not be an enemy to the whole world. It just has to set an example to others and beat them up!"
Wu pheasant smile, but with Sen Han: "some people dig the corner digging habits, even forget me this master!"( (to be continued.)
