After taking a bath, Xiao Ming got dressed under the service of pothos and aster. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After returning to the dormitory, he pondered the issue of reforming the land, and after thinking all night, he had a plan in his heart, and went to the governor's mansion early the next day.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a middle-aged man in a blue robe and a black square scarf collided with him.

The two stood still, and the man bowed and said, "Your Highness." ”

Xiao Ming looked at the person, it was none other than Pang Changshi in the mouth of the pothos, Xiao Ming looked at him, his face was white, he was dressed as a scholar, and his eyes were a little dull, just like in his memory.

A few days ago, Pang Yukun went to Dengzhou to check the accounts, and he just came back.

"This fief belongs to this king, this king can't go anywhere, you came just in time, this king has something to discuss with you." Xiao Ming went straight into the Governor's Mansion.

In his memory, Xiao Ming has always said this to Pang Yukun, and Xiao Ming has learned the same.

Pang Yukun scratched his head, since the establishment of this capital governor's mansion, Xiao Ming has never been here, although when he entered the city, he learned from the soldiers that the king of Qi captured thirty barbarian cavalry yesterday.

But with his understanding of Xiao Ming, it still feels a little incredible.

"If Your Highness has anything to say, please make it clear." Pang Yukun asked after Xiao Ming.

The structure of the Governor's Mansion is very simple, with only three sets of black tables and chairs, on which some documents are placed.

Sitting down at the table in the middle, Xiao Ming said, "This king wants to discuss with you about the matter of the Salt Transportation Division and the land. ”

Pang Yukun was taken aback at this time, and suspected that he had misheard, so he asked again: "Your Highness, what are you talking about!" ”

"This king orders you to immediately organize fiefdom officials to set up a salt transportation department in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and announce the six states, from today onwards, the government encourages the people to open up wasteland and tuntian, and those who reclaim the land will be owned by the reclaimer, and the tax will be exempted for three years, and the reclaimed land will be successively reclaimed, and those who have land will be deducted from 30% of the tax from today." Xiao Ming said loudly.

Pang Yukun was stunned, Xiao Ming's series of decrees made him completely stunned.

Coming back to his senses, he said: "There is no problem with the salt transportation division and land reclamation, but if the tax is reduced, I am afraid that the expenses of these six states will not be able to make ends meet." ”

"With the Salt Transportation Division, it should be possible to make up for this part of the tax, and this king will find other ways to increase the government's revenue." Xiao Ming made up his mind.

Then he said: "What do you think should be done with the tyrants who encroach on the land of the people? ”

Pang Yukun's head was a little bent, in the past days, he basically caught the evidence of King Qi's wrongdoing, and then went to King Qi's mansion to scold King Qi.

Then he wrote to the emperor, and the emperor was writing a letter to reproach the king of Qi, and now the king of Qi was so upright to discuss government affairs with him, he felt very strange.

However, for the question of Haoqiang, Pang Yukun was not confused, he said: "Your Highness, this local wealthy family is each other's in-laws, powerful, intertwined, and has many powerful ministers in the court, if you rashly confiscate their land, I am afraid that there will be chaos, Your Highness should not forget King Ning back then......"

Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed, King Ning in Pang Yukun's mouth was his second emperor's uncle, and he was known as the virtuous king in Chang'an back then.

The first thing King Ning did in the fiefdom of the thirteen-year-old domain was to confiscate the land forcibly occupied by Haoqiang, but within three months, someone in the court impeached King Ning for rebellion.

At that time, Xiao Wenxuan first ascended the throne, and was very jealous of King Ning, who was known as the virtuous king, and immediately sent troops to recruit King Ning, but poor King Ning was still buried in the dark, and was killed by the sergeant placed in King Ning's mansion by the wealthy family, and there is no proof of his death.

Now that Pang Yukun mentioned King Ning, the implication was to ask Xiao Ming not to follow in King Ning's footsteps.

In the past, Xiao Ming hated this Pang Yukun very much, that was because Xiao Ming had not done anything good at that time, and now when he talked about government affairs with Pang Yukun, he found that this nerd was not a bad person, and he was also quite knowledgeable.

In this era of low knowledge penetration, it is really rare to have a few literate people to assist him, and it is necessary for him to make the best use of his resources and talents.

"I understand, since this is the case, the land of the powerful will not be pursued for the time being, the focus is to mobilize the people to reclaim wasteland, you have to be responsible for this piece, and the people's forced labor will be exempted this year." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it." Pang Yukun bowed and said.

When he first arrived in the fiefdom, he didn't put forward these decrees, but Xiao Ming, who was against him at that time, was opposed for the sake of opposition, which also made the decrees of Qingzhou and other six states chaotic.

In the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Ming personally watched Pang Yukun write a notice and issue a decree before he left the Governor's Mansion.

Outside the city gate, as soon as the decree of the Governor's Office was posted, it immediately aroused the discussion of the people.

"Is this true or false?" One of the people was very skeptical.

"The proclamation of the Governor's Mansion can still be fake, this King of Qi has been in the fief for five years, and now he finally knows how to be sympathetic to the people."

"With such a good thing, what are you waiting for, go home and reclaim the land, whoever cultivates it first will be whoever."

“……”

At this time, five fast horses galloped out of the northern city at the same time, and they were going to take the decree to the other five states.

On the city wall, Lu Fei looked at the people outside the city thoughtfully, this King of Qi is really different from the past.

Leaving the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Ming did not go back, but went to the Equipment Division.

"Your Highness." Bing Cao Chen Wenlong saw Xiao Ming coming over and stepped forward.

With the science and technology spar in his hands, Xiao Ming needs to find a place to give full play to the advantages of science and technology, and this place is the Equipment Division.

This equipment division belongs to the government camp, and the craftsmen in it are also the best in Qingzhou, Xiao Ming now wants to develop and expand this equipment division, not only forging, but all kinds of industrial equipment will be born here in the future, this is the function he gave to the equipment department.

"Chen Bingcao, from today onwards, this device is directly under the command of this king, you only need to obey the orders of this king, and you can ignore other people's orders." Xiao Ming said with a deep groan.

"Your Highness! The official is derelict in his duties, and please punish His Royal Highness! Chen Wenlong was startled, bowed down and said, a layer of cold sweat on the back of his forehead.

He thought that Xiao Ming was here to pursue the lack of tribulus terrestris.

"You misunderstood, this king did not come to reproach you, but this king does not approve that everything is inferior, but only the narrow words of high reading, this skill is not a strange skill in the eyes of this king, on the contrary, this king thinks that this skill is beneficial to all kinds of work." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness is wise, and the minister also thinks so, for example, this farming, if you have the tools at hand, it is enough to cultivate more land." ”

"That's right, so this equipment department is very important, from today, you gather the skilled craftsmen in the city, divide them according to their skills, and join the equipment department." Xiao Ming said.

"That's okay, it's just that Your Highness, the craftsmen of this equipment division also need to eat, this ......" Chen Wenlong was puzzled.
