Chapter 278: Nongsang (Fourth Shift)

When Wang Can returned to Hanzhong, he still didn't understand many things.

After leaving the room, Wang Can immediately sent someone to invite Cheng Yu to come to the house, and then walked to the study.

About half an hour later, Cheng Yu hurriedly came to Wang Can's study.

Cheng Yu first bowed respectfully to Wang Can, then took out a bamboo slip from his cuffs, handed it to Wang Can, and said: "My lord, in the past four months, everything that happened in Hanzhong has been recorded, please check it." ”

Wang Can nodded, opened the bamboo slip, and read it carefully.

Cheng Yu's notes are very detailed, and nothing is missing.

After reading it, Wang Can nodded with satisfaction, it was indeed correct to leave Cheng Yu in Hanzhong. With a smile on his face, he said, "Zhong Degong, after a few months of development, Hanzhong's military resources and grain and grass have been greatly supplied, and this situation is already very good. However, it is already March of spring, and the people are busy with spring ploughing, I don't know what the situation of the people is? ”

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Spring ploughing, Yu has already arranged it, don't worry about it." ”

Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Spring ploughing is related to the harvest of the people in the first half of the year, let's go to the countryside to have a look." ”

"No!"

Cheng Yu was also very happy when he saw that Wang Can attached great importance to farming.

If you blindly lead the soldiers to fight, it can only be said that you are reckless, and the final result is that the people are poor and the government is full of ills. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that the people have food to eat and clothes to wear. Only by living and working in peace and contentment can the foundation of Wang Can's rise be laid.

"My lord, please!"

Cheng Yu waved his hand and motioned for Wang Can to go first.

Wang Can was also not polite, and took the lead in walking out of the study, and the two of them left the county guard mansion one after the other.

Wang Can's travel, although it is light and simple, also has strict protection measures. When Wang Can and Cheng Yu left in the carriage, Wang Yue also sent someone to protect Wang Can's safety. The two sat in the carriage and quickly left Nanzheng City and ran out of the city. If you want to understand the situation of the people, you can only figure it out by going deep into the people.

After leaving the city, the carriage stopped.

Cheng Yu and Wang Can got out of the carriage, and the two walked towards the countryside one after the other.

Behind Wang Can, followed by a warrior dressed in black and carrying a black iron sword on his back, to protect Wang Can's safety.

In the farmland, the people wearing coarse linen clothes and holding whips in their hands are urging the oxen to plough the fields and loosen the soil. Cheng Yu looked at the scene in front of him and said: "Lord, only Shuzhong and Jingzhou have such a scene, the princes of the Central Plains are fighting each other, wars are frequent, and the people are suffering!" ”

Wang Can nodded and said, "Yes, the current situation is not easy to come by, so you have to cherish it." ”

As he spoke, Wang Can walked towards the farmland.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Lord, the road in the field is difficult to walk and rugged, so you can go down!" ”

Wang Can waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After speaking, Wang Can jumped into the farmland on the trail and walked towards the old man who was plowing the field. The old man saw that Wang Can was wearing a brocade dress and a handsome face, obviously a rich and noble son. The rich and noble brother of the rich family walked towards him, which suddenly startled the old man, and there was fear in his eyes.

"Uncle, can I try it?"

Wang Can had a look of anticipation, and there was a novel look in his eyes.

It was his first time touching this thing, and his hands were a little itchy.

When the old man heard Wang Can speak, his heart was immediately relaxed, and he felt that the rich boy was so idle that he ran to the farmland to pass the time. The old man's wrinkled face showed a smile, and he handed over the whip and ploughing tools in his hand to Wang Can, and explained to Wang Can again before letting Wang Can plow the field.

As long as this rich boy doesn't make trouble, it's fine.

Ploughing the field is not something that ordinary people can insist on, and this rich boy will leave after a while. Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, Wang Can couldn't continue.

"This farm work is really not done by people."

Wang Can muttered a few words and asked, "Uncle, how was the harvest at the end of last year?" ”

The old man shook his head, sighed, and said, "Eh, with God's favor, the harvest is okay." It's a pity that they were all taken in by Su Gu. Speaking of this, the old man's old face showed an unwilling look, after a year of hard work, most of the grain was taken away by Su Gu, and his heart was naturally very uncomfortable.

Wang Can frowned when he heard this, and asked again: "Uncle, since this is the case, now that it is spring ploughing, is there any surplus grain in the old man's house?" ”

When the old man heard this, the expression on his face became vivid.

The old man said excitedly: "God opened his eyes, Su Gu was cleaned up by the new Taishou. Although last year's life was tight, but the newcomers were too good, and actually distributed grain to us, and the seeds and cattle for spring ploughing were provided by the government, with such an official master, the life of the common people should be better, as long as the harvest is good this year, they can live a good life. ”

After Wang Can heard this, he looked at Cheng Yu with a grateful look in his eyes.

These are all the credit of Cheng Yu.

He led the army to attack Dong Zhuo, and the governance of Hanzhong was all handed over to Cheng Yu to take care of, Wang Can never bothered, and it could be heard from the old man that Cheng Yu had spent a lot of effort on the governance of Hanzhong.

"Zhong Degong, let's go!"

Wang Can got the answer, and a smile appeared on his face.

The two left one after another, and both returned to the carriage, Wang Can said: "Zhongde Gong, what is the proportion of taxes collected now?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, since Emperor Ling restored the state pastor, the state pastor of all states in the world has taken over the military and political power, which has changed the tax rate in various places. There are fifteen taxes one, ten taxes one, and five taxes and one ...... What's more, the tax rate was even higher, and when Su Gu served as the Taishou of Hanzhong, the tax rate was five taxes and one tax, which was quite high. ”

After Wang Can heard this, he said: "The five taxes and one is indeed very high, how is Zhong Degong going to deal with it?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "The people urgently need to recuperate, and the tax rate should be reduced. ”

After thinking about it, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, you robbed Dong Zhuo's 4,000 boxes, and the money in them is enough for the lord to buy food and expand the army. ”

"Fifteen taxes one?"

Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Okay, Zhongde Gong, after you go back, you will issue a decree that the tax rate for all the people in Hanzhong will be adjusted to fifteen taxes and one." ”

Cheng Yu said: "The lord is benevolent, it is really a blessing for the people!" ”

Wang Can said in a deep voice: "Monarch, Zhouye; Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. The people are the foundation of the country, if the people can't survive, even if the soldiers in Hanzhong are brave and fierce, they are also in the air, and they can't stand on it. ”

Cheng Yu said: "The lord is wise! ”

Wang Can smiled and said, "Zhong Degong, I want to Tuntian, what does Zhong Degong think?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Tuntian has existed in ancient times, and there are many wastelands in Hanzhong, and Tuntian is not indispensable. ”

Wang Can nodded and said with a smile: "Zhong Degong, since you said that it is feasible, then the matter of Tuntian will be handed over to you." In addition to the elite soldiers led by Pei Yuanshao, Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun, the other soldiers in Hanzhong are at your disposal. ”

Cheng Yu's face was bitter, Tuntian was not a simple matter, but he didn't expect Wang Can to throw it down directly.

However, for Hanzhong, tuntian is the best way to ensure the grain route.

The two returned to Nanzheng City, Wang Can said: "Zhong Degong, since you have seen the farming in the countryside, let's take a look at the city market, in four months, the changes in Hanzhong are gratifying!" ”

Cheng Yu was suddenly startled and said: "Lord, there are many dragons and snakes in the bazaar, and there are many three sects and nine streams, so let's go home!" ”

Wang Can shook his head and said, "This is Hanzhong, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Cheng Yu smiled helplessly, Wang Can would really give him a problem, but when Wang Can said it, he could only bite the bullet.

The group of three got out of the carriage and walked to the market.

PS: The fourth of the eight watches, ask for collections and flowers.
