Chapter 258: Architecture

You Yong went to Dingzhou to unify the army, Shi Zhuang was stationed in Yizhou, Wang Sili was still in front of his Zhenzhou, the former governor of the town Shi Yuan Zhou went to Zhaozhou to serve as the assassin Shi, and Cao Xin, the assassin of Yizhou, was on top of this shortage. It is called Changshi, but in fact, it governs the affairs of the entire town and state. And Wang Mingyi succeeded Cao Xin as the assassin of Yizhou.

Unlike a series of personnel changes that people had expected, the You family and the Wang family began to split up, which shocked the rich gentry in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou.

The political intent in this action is too obvious.

In other words, the high hopes that these people had placed high hopes on these two people to come forward to resist Li Ze's land tax and other policies have been completely shattered.

You Yong, Wang Sili has already bowed to Li Ze. The huge family of the two men was divided into pieces in a very short time, and the land under their names was also divided among the families, and those who had eyes and hands soon got the exact news from the local households.

In a lamentation, many wealthy gentry in Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou could only rely on the gourd to draw a scoop and do so if they were reluctant. Even You Yong and Wang Sili have succumbed, what are they worth.

Unlike You Yong, Wang Sili and others, the Li family, the largest landlord in Chengde, is inseparable. The Li family is thin, and the big house is in one vein, so only Li Ze and a little girl Li Xin are left, two rooms and one door, and they settle down in Zhaozhou, although there are three brothers Li Bo, Li Tao, and Li Yuan, but in terms of the land they own in Zhaozhou, even if the three brothers are separated, it is far beyond the baseline approved by Li Ze.

So Lee, take another approach.

All the land owned by the Li family, except for the land below the baseline, the rest will be paid by the tenants according to the principle of the three-three system, and after five consecutive years of renting, the rented land will be owned by the tenants. Of course, from now on, the Li family will no longer pay taxes for them, and thirty percent of the rent can be regarded as pure gain.

This is a bit of a family into a country.

Together, the Li family has hundreds of thousands of acres of land, but now only 20,000 acres remain, and the rest will become official land after five years, and the government will grant these lands to tenants. And these tenants became free people.

And the granting of land is now being carried out on a large scale under the jurisdiction of the entire Li Ze.

After destroying Wang Feng and the interest groups subordinate to Wang Feng in Dingzhou and Yizhou, Li Ze not only harvested a large amount of floating wealth, but also obtained countless fertile fields, rivers, mountains, and so on in Cangzhou and Dizhou. These lands, which originally belonged to large landowners, were accepted by the government, and then the land was granted according to the household register.

Fifty acres per ding.

In the past, in these places, the poor people had to bear not only all kinds of forced labor, but also all kinds of heavy taxes, but now, under the condition of greatly reduced labor and taxes, they can also obtain land free of charge from the government, which is naturally rejoicing.

The standard of land granted by the government is very simple, the first is naturally to be included in the Ding register, and the second is to cultivate for more than five consecutive years, so that these lands can belong to you.

The implementation of this policy has brought another unexpected effect. Originally, a large number of hidden hukou in Dingzhou, Yizhou, Cangzhou, and Dizhou, as well as some fugitives who went up and down the mountains and rivers to avoid heavy taxes, have returned. The government's policy is very lenient for these people, as long as you can find witnesses to prove your identity, you can be re-enrolled in the Ding register and get a share of the land.

Although it is a cold winter, but the entire area under Li Ze's rule, but one by one is busy, feet do not touch the ground, this is a huge project, and they must be completed in this winter, turned over the year, opened the spring, but it is spring sowing, the plan of the year lies in the spring, but never dare to delay the spring ploughing.

Li Ze estimated that Zhenzhou Zhaozhou was able to find out Dingkou clearly before a few years ago, and re-register those hidden households and fugitive households, even if their work efficiency is high, these places are not like Wuyi, Xindu, these places, Yixing Society has penetrated into all aspects, and the workaholics in the society have grabbed a lot from one to the other, and these people have worked day and night, typical of the style of fanatics.

In Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou and other places, thanks to the loose policies of their old men over the years, the officials under the head have also adapted to the slow-paced life one by one, that is, this year's war has made their work more efficient. After all, once there is a war, it is the rule of military law, and no one wants to hit their heads on military law. Now that the battle is over, Chengde has won a complete victory, and while he is happy, how can he blame these people for not committing their old mistakes?

While high-level official adjustments are already underway. Like the top-level structure, Li Ze has basically completed it, and the middle-level officials below, only those important positions, Li Ze will stretch out his hand, as for those officials at the lowest level, Li Ze has no energy to take care of it.

But it is precisely these low-level officials who do the work. They generally have the same problems that officials in other places should have.

However, now Li Ze has no position or heart to rectify in these aspects, after all, he is now the envoy of the Henghai Festival, not the envoy of the Chengde Festival, and if the name is not right, it will not be good. When he goes to Beijing in the next year, gets the emperor and the imperial court, and officially merges several towns, it will be the time for him to fully rectify.

Rectifying these officials and improving the efficiency of the work at the bottom is what Li Ze must do. He knows very well that the high-level management direction, the middle-level grasp the method, and the low-level is the main force in doing things. These people are not powerful, no matter how good the scriptures are, they can sing crookedly to you.

In the future, Li Ze will rectify the officials, and Li Ze will already have a case. First, of course, it is the vigorous penetration of Yixing Society. Although it is not yet possible to give orders in its own name, there is no obstacle for the Yixing Society to enter Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou and other places, and there is no obstacle above the official face. Dismantle the already solidified social structure from the bottom, grasp all aspects of intelligence, and then prescribe the right medicine. Second, he had already transferred a certain person who was proficient in all the tricks of the officials, and could be called an exemplary figure among these officials, from Yizhou to Zhenzhou, and took up a position under Cao Xin. This person is the white reason of the sea.

Fight poison with poison, and don't be afraid of what new tricks these people can play!

After arranging everything in Zhenzhou, Li Ze threw all these specific affairs to Cao Xin and others. He took Gongsun Changming, Min Rou and his party to Yingzhou.

Tu Lichun, who had followed Li Ze for more than ten years, stayed in the Zhenzhou army and temporarily assisted Wang Sili, whose main task was to reorganize the Zhenzhou Zhaozhou army.

Tu Lichun has been by his side since Li Ze was a five-year-old doll, and now Li Ze has reached the age of seventeen, and Tu Lichun, who has protected him for twelve years, has also changed from a young man to a middle-aged strong man. Reluctantly went out of the city for ten miles to see each other, and finally took a handful of old tears under Li Ze's stopping, so he stopped his horse in the snow and watched Li Ze and his party go away.

The seedling that needed his care had now grown into a towering tree, and it had turned upside down to shelter him from the wind and rain.

When he came, there were thousands of foot soldiers, and when he left, thousands of soldiers stayed in Zhenzhou, some of them will enter Yizhou with Shi Zhuang, and the other part will be stationed in Zhenzhou with Tu Lichun, these people are also the main force of Li Ze's infiltration of the Zhenzhou army. With Li Ze going to Yingzhou, there were only Chengde wolf cavalry, 1,000 pro-Wei Yizun and Li De's 1,500 rangers.

Nearly 3,000 cavalry set off a snow dragon in the snow, and after more than ten days, they arrived in Yingzhou.

As a newly won state, and it is also the former bridgehead of the Lulong people, Li Ze naturally did not dare to be careless. Liu Chenglin led 5,000 armor soldiers to station, and next, Li De's rangers will also stay here.

In addition to inspecting Yingzhou, Li Ze of course had to talk to his brother-in-law about Liu Ruyan's entry into Beijing. It's not a small task.

According to Chang'an's meaning, it is to make an order to win affection, so that he no longer has to serve filial piety, so as to remove the obstacle to the completion of marriage with Liu Ruyan, but this is not any good intentions of the imperial court, they want to detain Li Ze's most important people in Chang'an, Li Ze's mother, Li Ze's wife, after marriage, there may even be Li Ze's son or daughter, they think that if they hold these people in their hands, Li Ze will be able to become the court's minions loyally.

Just like Gao Pi, the family is all in Chang'an.

It's just that Li Ze and Gao Yu still have essential differences. Gao Biao is truly loyal to the imperial court, so he doesn't care where his family is. On the contrary, I will be happy because my family does not have to follow me to endure hardships in the border land and stay in a flowery world like Chang'an. But Li Ze took this as an important means for himself to reach into Chang'an.

Li Anguo has no ambitions, how many years has he been a festival envoy, and in some key places like Chang'an and Luoyang, he has no business and no power. This is unacceptable for Li Ze. If it is a big thing, the heart of an empire like Chang'an, if there is no power to control the wind and grass there, it will simply make him unable to eat and sleep.

To be able to marry Liu Ruyan in advance, Liu Chenglin must be happy. But to let Liu Ruyan enter Chang'an as a hostage, I am afraid that Liu Chenglin will be like thunder. She is really precious to Liu Ruyan, the only sister.

Li Ze had to convince him.

Therefore, he also specially brought Gongsun Changming, an old fox who was ready to enter Beijing to show his skills. Two clever mouths, I can't convince Liu Chenglin if I don't believe it.

Li Ze didn't expect that after stepping into the boundary of Yingzhou, the first team he encountered was from outside the mouth, and he exchanged Fei Zhong and Shi Yi and others with Zhang Zhongwu for the Khitan Siwandan Department.

This tribe, which traveled thousands of miles under the severe cold, gave Li Ze a new understanding of poverty.
