Chapter 3 Conferring Tian II

"General, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Zhang Zhen said: "Ruyang County, I'm afraid it can't provide these hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and I listen to the general's intentions, and I also want to grant land to the people, I'm afraid it is even more insufficient." ”

It's not a deficiency, it's a big shortcoming, Runing's agriculture was developed early, coupled with the flat terrain and many water flows, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land. But the locals of Runing also want to eat, and if Yigu Brain expropriates all the land, I don't know how many people in Runing City will be cut off from their livelihoods.

Because there are many people in the vicinity of Runing City who are tenants of King Chong. But the land allocated to many soldiers may not be used by so many tenants.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said: "I never thought that the whole army and soldiers would be placed near Runing Mansion City, I am the envoy of Runing Festival, but the commander of Ruyang County." Settle a part of it first. After that, you might as well hang it first. ”

Zhang Zhen understood as soon as he heard it.

Although Zhang Xuan can only control Runing Mansion City now, he is absolutely unwilling and only sits in the lonely city.

What Liu Hongqi, Shen Wandeng and the like, sooner or later will have to be cleaned up one by one.

Zhang Qiansi pondered for a while and said: "Even so, this thing is not something that can be done this year, and I am afraid that it will only be able to substantially grant land next year." ”

Immediately, Zhang Zhen began to explain the problem one by one.

First of all, it is a household, and if you don't make a household, you don't know how many people are under your rule. There is no talk of giving land to the people.

Only after the household is compiled, can there be the matter of granting land.

Moreover, Zhang Zhen specifically explained that there is another reason for the first arrangement of households and then the granting of land, that is, the problem of manpower.

The so-called plantain foot teeth should be killed if they are not guilty. If you want to complete such a big project as household compilation and land granting, it is not enough to rely on this person under Zhang Zhen alone, plus the officials of the government and county government.

Especially those officials, they have long been old fritters, and the chances of doing bad things with them are too great, so they will all be dismissed with the meaning of Zhang Qian, and then the people will be ordered to take the lead, and all those who are too angry with the people will be killed. Then choose some innocent scholars to do things. However, these have just begun to do things, and the experience is inevitably insufficient, so it is necessary to make it easy first and then difficult, first make up households, and then grant fields.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan said that thirty acres and fifty acres are actually only relative values, not absolute values. There are too many things in the field, such as the difference between large acres and small acres, the difference between dry fields and paddy fields, and so on.

There are too many errors and omissions in government documents. If you want to do all this, you must first measure the acres of land.

Again, it's a big project.

These things are definitely not something that can be accomplished in a month or two years ago. Therefore, the matter of granting land must be placed after the year.

Zhang Xuan thought about it and agreed.

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone went to work.

It's very easy to make a plan, but it's hard to implement it.

The battalion system in the army, the planning of three battalions and one team, Zhang Xuan will definitely do it himself, and he will never fake it. However, the matter of arranging households and granting land requires Zhang Zhen to do it himself.

After the discussion, Zhang Xuan moved to the military camp outside the city.

"Brother Cao, this Nanyang camp depends on you." Zhang Xuan said to Cao Zongyu.

In the troubled times, it is natural to be strong and weak, and the same is true for Zhang Xuan, although two new battalions were set up, but in fact, most of the Linying battalions led by Zhang Xuan were old soldiers who followed him, Cao Zongyu, who was appointed as the battalion officer, and Wang Jincai, all brought hundreds of people, plus the official and military prisoners, to establish a new battalion.

And Cao Zongyu is Zhang Xuan's most trusted person, and in addition to his military literacy, he is probably still above Zhang Xuan, so it is natural to appoint Cao Zongyu as a battalion officer. Zhang Xuan also transferred more than a dozen backbones from the battalion who were originally in the army in Nanyang.

I have to, the overwhelming war is like a big wave sweeping sand, the hundreds of soldiers recruited by Zhang Xuan in Nanyang at the beginning, now there are less than 100 people left, and the most promising is Qin Meng, who is already a general at this moment. The rest are also officers at all levels, and they can be regarded as the backbone of the army.

It can also be regarded as Zhang Xuan's support for Cao Zongyu.

"Give me three months." Cao Zongyu said: "I'll give you a Nanyang battalion that can fight." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said. "Brother Cao, don't be too busy, in my opinion, King Chuang's side is going well, we have been here for quite a while, it's too peaceful, don't collapse too tightly, bring my sister-in-law another day, I will have a meal with Yujiao, the four of us will have a meal together."

Cao Zongyu smiled slightly on his face and said, "Okay." ”

Zhang Xuan trusted Cao Zongyu very much, so he didn't need to tell him more, so he let Cao Zongyu do it. But he doesn't trust Wang Jincai so much.

As soon as Wang Jincai came in, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said: "I will meet the general with a humble position, thank you for the general's promotion, and the humble position will only obey the general's orders." Humble ---"

"Alright." Zhang Xuan helped Wang Jincai up with a smile and said, "No need to do this, you are also a battalion officer with 3,000 troops, and there is at least one guerrilla general in the official army." Why are you still so undecency? Stand still, I don't need you to kneel here, you just need to do your job. ”

Wang Jincai said with a little gratitude: "The general's kindness to the lowly position is high and high, and the lowly position does not know how to repay it. I only want to make grass rings for the general, and be a cow and a horse to repay it. ”

Zhang Xuan heard this nondescript remark, but instead laughed and said, "You learned sycophants there." Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, what are you going to do? ”

Zhang Xuan is actually not too relieved about Wang Jincai.

Without him, Cao Zongyu can break off Zhang Xuan for him, almost

died in battle, but Wang Jincai would never be able to do it.

Wang Jincai, a veteran soldier, will only do things that are beneficial to himself, he is timid and cautious, and he will not betray him easily, but how loyal he is, it is a joke.

It's just that Zhang Xuan flipped through his entrainment. Except for Wang Jincai, no one can be the head of a battalion.

Deng He dared to fight and kill, and he was a strong general, but as the commander of a battalion, he had some flaws. Luo Dai is a horseman, and it is a waste of talent to put in the infantry camp. The rest are too shallow. Rashly promoted, I am afraid that some seedlings will be promoted. Putting people in unsuitable positions is not good for them, but harmful to them.

Only Wang Jincai is slippery, but he has rich experience in the army, and he has been in the army for I don't know how many years. Although there is no way to climb up, he can only serve as a low-level officer in the Baoding army, but he is very popular, and after the surrender of the Baoding army, he can be recommended to negotiate with the righteous army, which shows his prestige.

Moreover, many of the soldiers captured this time were Baoding soldiers under Yang Wenyue, and Wang Jincai's background could give some Baoding soldiers a sense of security, based on these two reasons. Zhang Xuancai decided that Wang Jincai would serve as the battalion officer. This is also the reason why Zhang Xuan named this battalion Baoding Battalion.

After Wang Jincai served as the battalion officer, the Baoding battalion may not be a first-class elite, but it is not a problem to maintain an operation and appease the soldiers.

"General, I want to transfer some officers from the army from Baoding, I don't know if it's okay?" Wang Jincai said cautiously: "I think with us people, the recruits will settle down quickly." ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said. "Let's do it, I'll give Zheng Lian a list later, and I'll give you whoever you want."

"Thank you, General, thank you, General." Wang Jincai immediately said what would happen if he went to the Baoding camp.

Zhang Xuan smiled and listened, but he didn't care much in his heart, because what Wang Jin was talking about was what Zhang Xuan taught them when he was lecturing. Wang Jincai just said it again. It can even be understood that Wang Jincai used this way to show loyalty to Zhang Xuan again, indicating that he was a true believer in Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan talked to Wang Jincai, after sending Wang Jincai away. Zheng Lian quietly sent the list left by Wang Jincai.

Zhang Xuan took it and took a look, all of them were officers who had surrendered to the army. He pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, sneered, and said with a little tiredness: "There is no party in the party, there is no imperial thought, there is no faction in the faction, and there are all kinds of strange." ”

Regardless of whether Zhang Xuan is vigilant in his heart, this kind of group behavior, but at the time, in order to improve his combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, all he can do is to follow it, but he is also ready to bury a few ambushes, ears and eyes, which is not enough to be humane with outsiders.

Then he waved his pen and wrote two words on the list: "Yes." ”
