Liu Bei was in Qingzhou, and when he heard Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, Hua Xin, Xu Shao, etc., he went out of the city for ten miles to greet him. Although Liu Miao is not a talent of thousands of miles of feudal territory, but in this troubled era, with a Confucian scholar, in addition to the name of his clan, his own talent is prestige and indispensable. As for Wang Lang and Hua Xin, they are all highly talented and liberal arts people, and there is no problem in governing a county in peacetime, or in the position of a noble person such as Jiuqing. Xu Shao, the most famous guest of the Qing Dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When he came, it is estimated that Qingzhou will be even more lively.

These people came together, and of course Liu Bei had to go to the city to greet them. The fact that they can choose Qingzhou proves that Liu Bei already has a lot of weight in the hearts of the scholars. It's not easy to toss all the way to now.

That night, the Qingzhou Pastoral Mansion held a banquet, and the guests and hosts ended the banquet together. On the second day, Liu Bei worshiped Wang Lang as the plain phase and Hua Xin as the Qi phase. Xu Shao is a guest of the College, and Lu is a professor of various departments. Liu Bei thought about Liu Xuan's arrangement, and finally remembered that his father-in-law Lu Zhi had been leading Xuzhou from afar, and thought that it would be better to let Liu Xuan go out to assassinate the history of Xuzhou, so that Zhang Zhao would report to Qingzhou no matter how big or small. So Liu Bei asked Liu Miao what he meant.

As a result, Liu Miao politely refused, he didn't want to work for Liu Bei, in this troubled world, the strong and capable are respected, and he didn't feel that it was condescending to serve Liu Bei. It's just that after he was defeated in Yangzhou, he fell seriously ill in Yuzhang, and he still has no vitality to recover, and his body still needs to recuperate. On the other hand, after sending Liu Ji to the academy, he can't just leave it alone, and he has to stare at it for a while to see the effect before he can rest assured.

Tell Liu Bei the reason, and Liu Bei can understand it. I remembered that it seemed that after the defeat of Yangzhou, Liu Miao couldn't afford to fall ill and passed away. So he was busy sending doctors to diagnose Liu Xuan. In the end, the doctor told Liu Bei that Liu Miao was nothing serious, but he had lost his vitality and had to recuperate for a while. Liu Bei was relieved.

On this day, Xuzhou did not drive Zhang Zhao to report, saying that because of the previous Yangzhou war, countless soldiers crossed the river and poured into Xuzhou to avoid chaos. As soon as the floating population was large, people with bad intentions committed crimes everywhere. Recently, there have been dozens of cases of missing people in Xuzhou, and I hope that Liu Bei can send troops to carry out a major purge in Xuzhou. Clean up those who hide in the mountains and forests and refuse to obey the teachings, occupy the mountains as kings and harm the four directions. So that the people of Xuzhou can feel at ease.

Liu Bei frowned when he received the report, so he ordered Chen Zhi and Chen Deng to cooperate, one south and one north, to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion and stabilize the place. I remembered that I only let Xuzhou be exempt from taxes for one year, and the government was not the same as Qingzhou. So let Xuzhou draw a gourd in the same way, and fully implement the decree that Qingzhou has been in force for many years.

Zhang Zhao did as he was told. So in Xuzhou, a series of government decrees such as the "Suppression of Thieves Order", "Land Granting Order", and "Exemption Order" were issued. The order stipulates that all bandits, thieves and rebels, those who do not surrender will be beheaded, and their families will be punished according to the law; The officials and the people hid privately, helped the bandits, and sat together; Whistleblowers and whistleblowers will be rewarded.

The land grant decree stipulates that if the population of a household is registered in accordance with the law, the land shall be granted according to the person. Thirty taxes on land rent.

The exemption decree stipulates that under the age of 14, no money is exempted; 15 to 18 years of the people, 20 money; From the nineteenth to the fifty-sixth year of the people, the money is counted as one hundred, and the same is true for the merchants; Slaves and maids are counted.

In addition, childbirth is encouraged, and if a woman has a child, the husband and wife are exempt from paying for three years; If a woman from 17 to 30 does not marry, she will be given an additional 10 per year.

It also encourages respect for the elderly, and if there are more than 70 elderly people in households, one person is exempted from counting money; If there are more than 80 elderly people in the family, two people are exempted from counting money.

As soon as the orders came out, Xuzhou shook. The people of Xuzhou have long known the good governance of Qingzhou, and when Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, the people were all looking forward to it. finally waited until the battle was over, but Liu Bei only exempted Xuzhou from paying taxes for one year and returned to Qingzhou. Let the people of Xuzhou not be disappointed. Now I finally waited for Liu Yuanjun's new policy. It's even better than I expected.

Let's not talk about the thieves, this is good for everyone's safety, and the people naturally support it unconditionally. The granting of land is simply a redistribution of Xuzhou's wealth. Those homeless people, those who have a large family population but can only be reduced to tenants, as well as the gentry and powerful people, keep their eyes open to every move of Xuzhou to see how much benefit they can share in this feast. Not to mention other borderless lands in Xuzhou, it is a Rong, and there are countless land estates under his name. Liu Yuanjun is really benevolent, countless people sighed in their hearts.

In terms of land rent, Liu Bei continued to maintain the lowest standard since the founding of the Han Dynasty, 30 taxes and 1. As for the calculation of endowments, he has made some adjustments to make it more beneficial to the people. Originally, the Great Han Law was from seven to fourteen years old in the year of the people, and each person levied 20 mouths of money every year to support the Son of Heaven; From the age of fifteen to fifty-six, each person contributed 120 yuan a year to cover the expenses of the imperial court. Now Liu Bei is adjusted to be nineteen to fifty-six years old, and each person pays 100 yuan a year. The upper age limit has been raised, and the money has been reduced by twenty. Moreover, under the age of 14, the mouth money is free, and the age of 15 to 18 years old, each person exports 20 dollars per year. At the same time, in order to restrain merchants, the Han law stipulates that each merchant is counted twice a year. Liu Bei naturally couldn't suppress business. So this rule was abolished, and the merchants were made to be like the rest of the people. Of course, in order to prohibit the practice of keeping slaves, slaves and maids are still counted in two ways.

If you can save a five-baht coin for the people, it is a five-baht coin, and Liu Bei doesn't think there's anything wrong with hiding the wealth from the people. Anyway, he is not the emperor now, and the expenses in the palace are pitiful.

Encouraging childbirth and encouraging respect for the elderly, in Qingzhou for several years, those who have children, couples are exempt from paying money for three years, this order came out, Qingzhou suddenly set off a fertility climax. Many families have had children and have children. For this reason, the guards below have complained that these families will not be able to receive the money for many years. After Liu Bei heard this, he laughed. Now he has no shortage of territory, what he lacks is people. With people, this great land will be developed more rapidly. Who would have thought that when he first came to Qingzhou, the territory of the six counties was so large, and there were only more than 1.5 million people. Now, many years have passed, thanks to the new policies in Qingzhou, when the case was compared last year, the number of registered Dingkou was close to 3 million. Over the years, he has fought in the south and the north, and fought many wars, isn't it just these people who rely on him? It was they who provided food for their own farming, and it was they who enlisted in the army and fought bloodily for themselves. Why not give a small favor now?

Among Liu Bei's many decrees, the only one that has been praised by all the officials and the people without making a bad voice is probably the only one that respects the elders. Whether it is a bandit, a land grant, or a tax exemption, no matter what, there are a handful of people who scold endlessly because they infringe on their interests or do not conform to their wishes. The suppression of bandits is too strict, and there may be manslaughter; The land was granted because the large families failed to encroach on the land and lost a large number of tenant farmers...... Liu Bei ignored all those noises. He can't please everyone, but every decree he needs to make sure that it will benefit the greatest number of people, and that it will benefit them.

The people of Xuzhou rejoiced, and naturally there was no need to say much. With the cooperation of Chen Zhi and Chen Deng, the bandits in Xuzhou were also quickly eliminated. Public order in Xuzhou improved greatly for a while. Under such circumstances, Zhang Zhao, Chen Deng, Lu Jun, Cui Yan and others began a large-scale reclamation of wasteland in Xuzhou.

All ownerless fields, as well as the newly reclaimed land of the government, were registered in the name of the government according to Liu Bei's requirements, and then granted to the households to cultivate according to the number of households in each county. Because the ownership of the official land is in the government, the people have no right to resell it, only the right to cultivate. This is tantamount to cutting off the possibility of large households taking advantage of drought, flood and famine to annex the fields, and it is also tantamount to turning the tenant farmers of the large households into tenant farmers of the government.

Just when Xuzhou was in full swing, Liu Bei drove lightly and entered the academy again.
