Huang Yutan said with a smile: "Chu Du don't forget, the gentry of Xiguan can inspect the land, and the gentry of Tianshan can naturally do it. The Northwest Army now controls Mingsha City, and Kuaima sent people to Mingsha City, ordering the Northwest Army to keep all the account books of the Tianshan Household Division Yamen, and then use these accounts to make a big fuss. ”

Gan Hou remained silent, and finally said at this time: "Ben will immediately send people to Mingsha City, and order them to block the Yamen of the Tianshan Household Division, and the things inside will not let anyone move a single bit." ”

"There's General Laugan." Huang Yutan arched his hand to Gan Hou, and then continued: "As far as the lower officials know, the gentry of the Tianshan Mountains actually have two accounts, one is the official account of the official mansion, and the other is their own private account, and the number of public accounts and private accounts is absolutely different. The public account is an account on the surface, and taxes are paid to the government according to the amount of land owned in the public account, but the amount above the public account is much lower than the amount they actually own. ”

This kind of greasy thing is also clear to most of the people present.

"In order to pay less taxes, the gentry actually owned at least three to fifty percent more land than they had in the public accounts, and some even more than twice as much." Huang Yutan sighed: "Because of this, the annual taxes paid to the imperial court are actually lacking, and the benefits of those extra land have become one of the important benefits of the gentry and officials. ”

Chu Huan touched his chin, he didn't know about the doorway in the past, but before Xiguan began to implement the Juntian Order, he carried out a large-scale land inspection, and he knew everything about the doorway.

"Zhu Lingyue rebelled, and now there are no dragons in Xiguan, and there are many things in the imperial court, and there is no energy to pay attention to the northwest for a while, so in the northwest affairs, Chu Governor naturally has to come forward and share worries for the imperial court." Huang Yutan said with a smile: "Even so, the governor of Chu can also carry out land inspection in the Tianshan Mountains, and according to the account books of the government, all the land occupied by the gentry and wealthy families will be returned to the official property." If there are 500 acres of land in the public account of the household department, but in fact there are 800 acres, and the extra 300 acres will naturally be directly taken into the official possession, which is not to take away the property of the gentry, but to confiscate the unknown land, those gentry and wealthy families, naturally they are speechless, in this way, the gentry and wealthy families of all sizes in the Tianshan Mountains can confiscate a large area of land, in addition, under the Tianshan Mountains, the area within a radius of hundreds of miles is used as a horse farm, Chu Governor can depose the Tianshan horse farm and change the horse farm to fertile land, as far as the lower officials know, Under the Tianshan Mountains, the climate is pleasant, and that horse farm is actually the most fertile land, which can be used as a land equalization order. ”

Pei Ji already smiled and said: "Good idea, Chu Du, Lord Huang has a plan in his chest, and he has already had a plan, but Chu Du has put a lot of thought into it." In my estimation, the amount of land in the Tien Shan Racecourse, together with the land owned by the government, must be very large, and it could be used as the allocated land for the land equalization order. As long as the Juntian order is implemented, the people of the Tianshan Mountains will rejoice, which is naturally the desire of the people. ”

Huang Yutan smiled and said: "It is still up to the Governor of Chu to decide, if this is really implemented, we don't need to send many soldiers and horses into the Tianshan Mountains, we only need to send some officials who understand the specific operation of the Juntian Order...... Well, you can let Wei Wuji Wei go to Tianshan to deal with the Tianshan Juntian Order, and Chudu can also give another order, Tianshan implements the Juntian Order, and the cooperation of local officials will also determine the future assessment, so that the local officials of Tianshan may also actively cooperate with this matter. ”

"Okay, that's it." Chu Huan said neatly: "Xiguan's Juntian policy has been largely implemented, and the rest of the matter does not have to be overused, so Wei Wuji can go to Tianshan, before the imperial court issues a will, Wei Wuji will temporarily deal with the political affairs of Tianshan, focusing on the Juntian order, and at the same time appease the people." ”

Xu Shao couldn't help but ask: "Tianshan Horse Farm is the largest horse farm in the northwest today, if the Tianshan horse farm is abolished and the horse farm is changed to good land, then there will be no real scale horse farm in the northwest." Xiang Chu Huan said: "Chu Du, this time from the hands of the Tianshan Army, the captured horses are not less than 10,000, and in the future, we will have to trade salt horses with the Xiliang people, if nothing else, the number of war horses in the northwest will continue to increase, so there must also be a vast horse farm for grazing." ”

"Qingyuan Racecourse is not completely abandoned." Chu Huan immediately said: "You can send someone to repair the Qingyuan Racecourse and restore the Qingyuan Racecourse, and this governor will take out a part of the silver to expand the Qingyuan Racecourse, now the area of the Qingyuan Racecourse is not large enough, and in the future, the Northwest Racecourse will use the Qingyuan Racecourse as a base to build the largest racecourse in the Northwest, which will store 350,000 horses." He smiled and said, "Commander Xu, when it comes to the racecourse, the governor has another matter to hand over to you." ”

"Chu Du commands!"

"Among all the people here, you know the most about war horses, so it is most appropriate to leave the matter of war horses to you. The governor is ready to order, in order to prevent bandits from buying and snatching war horses, the war horses of the three northwest provinces will be unified in Qingyuan Horse Farm, and a special military horse department will be set up, and the military horse department will set up a general manager, and the head of the military horse department will be up to you. Chu Huan Zhengse said: "The duty of the Military Horse Department is not only to gather the war horses that can be good at fighting in the northwest, just like the cavalry of the Tianshan Mountains this time, there are tens of thousands of war horses left outside, you must find all the war horses, and you will raise and train good horses for the purpose of conquering bandits in the future, can you take on this responsibility?" ”

Xu Shao was stunned, Chu Huan said this, just if he handed over all the horse affairs in the northwest to him, this was not a small errand, hesitated, and said, "The last general...... You can give it a try! ”

"Ben Du doesn't need you to try." Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "This governor wants you to do a good job, completely bear it, in the future, if you need war horses or even cavalry, this governor will ask you, if you can't hand it over, this governor will ask for you, tell sù this governor, can you take on this responsibility?" ”

Xu Shao stood up and said in a deep voice: "If you can't complete the explanation of Chu Du, you are willing to accept military law!" ”

When Chu Huan heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed, "Xu Shao, there are not many good horses in the northwest, you can recruit equestrian masters and let them help raise horses and train horses, and this governor will definitely give preferential treatment." After a pause, he sighed again: "This fight with the Tianshan cavalry was provoked by Zhu Lingyue, although Zhu Lingyue was extremely evil, but the Tianshan cavalry was only deceived by him, and he could consult the Tianshan cavalry when he turned around, if they are willing to serve the country and continue to serve as cavalry to conquer and suppress bandits, the governor can give them a chance, and they will not be treated badly, but they need to be trained by you." ”

In fact, everyone here knows that although the Tianshan army was defeated, and most of the cavalry in the Tianshan Mountains lacked combat experience, but Zhu Lingyue had worked hard for many years, but it was not without achievements, in fact, after years of training, the basic elements of the Tianshan cavalry were already quite good, and the cooperation was very tacit, and before the collapse of the battle of the horse farm, they also showed an extremely tenacious will to fight, it is undeniable that if it were not for Pei Ji's strategizing, these Tianshan cavalry who experienced the war for the first time, There is a good chance that there will be a brilliant victory at the horse farm.

And the 20,000 captives outside the city, at least more than half of them were Tianshan cavalry who dismounted and surrendered after the collapse, Chu Huan thought in his heart, it is not easy to train cavalry, Zhu Lingyue finally trained a large number of cavalry, if it is disbanded at this time, it is really a pity that there are some pearls in Mengcheng.

When Pei Ji heard this, he understood what Chu Huan meant, and stroked his beard and said: "Chu Du, the role of these cavalry is not just as simple as suppressing thieves, Chu Du should not forget jì, the Xiliang people are thieves, and now they are only because of civil strife, they can't pose a threat to us, but if they slow down, maybe they will come back again, and the Xiliang people's selfless heart will not die, since Chu Du is sitting in the northwest and defending the Xiliang people with General Gan, it can't be neglected." ”

Chu Huan said solemnly: "What the general said is extremely true, and the people of Xiliang must not be guarded against. Glancing at everyone, he said: "The cavalry of the Xiliang people, even if you haven't seen it in person, you have already heard of it, their cavalry is like a storm, although it is our enemy, but according to conscience, their cavalry is indeed powerful, if there is no cavalry in the northwest that is enough to match it, I am afraid of ......!" ”

Gan Hou finally said at this moment: "What Chu Du said is extremely true. The Northwest Frontier Army once guarded Yanmen Pass, thinking that it would be able to stop the Xiliang cavalry with the pass, but in the end, it was still broken through. The generals in the northwest are not unable to fight, but one of the reasons for the successive defeats is that because the other side is mainly cavalry, so if you want to deter the Western Liang people and make them dare not covet us, the northwest needs a strong cavalry corps as a backing. ”

Chu Huan immediately said: "What General Gan said is very true. Said to Xu Shao: "Xu Shao, the matter of the cavalry, the governor will hand it over to you." ”

Xu Shao's face was embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said: "Chu Du, raise horses and train horses, and even take back the war horses scattered in the northwest, the last general will definitely live up to Chu Du's entrustment, but ...... The Tianshan cavalry outside the city, their hometowns are all in the Tianshan Mountains, let them stay in the horse farm, far from their hometowns, I am afraid that they will not be happy. And...... Chu Du knew that although the cavalry was very powerful on the battlefield, but to raise a huge cavalry corps, the annual military expenditure required was by no means a small amount, maintaining tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry, not to mention anything else, only eating and drinking ...... men and horses! ”

Pei Ji nodded and said, "Governor Chu, what Xu Tongzhi said is indeed reasonable. ”

Chu Huan smiled: "That's okay, Bendu didn't think that all the Tianshan cavalry could stay." The Governor will immediately issue a decree that those who are willing to stay and serve the country shall be entered into the cavalry register, and their hometowns and hometowns shall be recorded in detail, and that if they are willing to stay, their families will be exempted from conscription forever, and in addition, the cavalry households shall only pay 10% of the tax during these three years, and when the tax is restored after three years, the cavalry households of the Tianshan Mountains, shall pay 20% less than the ordinary people. ”

When Xu Shao heard this, his face suddenly showed a relaxed expression, and he said with a smile: "In this way, they will definitely rush to stay." ”

"In addition to this, the Governor will set aside a portion of the land near the horse farm and give it to your cavalry." Chu Huan said solemnly: "General Gan was in the most difficult time for the border army, he garrisoned the border and supported himself, which is admirable, and the cavalry to which you belong can also do this, and the land carved out will be organized and cultivated by your cavalry yourself, and when you receive the goods, you don't have to hand over a single rice to the government, all of it will be used as cavalry rations, and it can be distributed evenly when the time comes." Cultivating the land allows them to exercise their bodies, and cultivates a tacit understanding between soldiers, and cultivation and training are correct, what do you think? ”

Everyone applauded, and Xu Shao naturally agreed.

"Of course, to build a strong cavalry, the cavalry must be excellent." Chu Huan said with a straight face: "Not all soldiers have to stay, they must be assessed and their bodies and minds are suitable to stay, Xu Shao, this matter will be fully responsible for you." ”

Xu Shao arched his hand and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
