Huang Quan said: "The collection of refugees is quite smooth, since the lord issued an order, the land opened up belongs to the refugees, after three years of tax exemption, the number of refugees has increased, but the number of families who have moved from the troubled areas has decreased significantly, there are almost none, and there are no outsiders coming in." ”

"Expected." Liu Zhang said: "Those clans may not think how dark and terrifying our Yizhou is, and the children of the poor family, some talented people will not be optimistic about us, just like Fazheng, if you are still helping the wind, will you come to me at this time?" The answer is obvious, it seems that we only have a boring development, but it is an immutable truth that people rely on people in troubled times, and the four branches must be grasped quickly. ”

Wang Fu said: "Jiangzhou is too shou Dong and capable of doing things, there is not much time, not only to sort out the affairs of Jiangzhou, the four branches of the examination are also going smoothly, under the deterrence of the lord Yu Wei, there is almost no resistance, but the exam questions are a little troublesome, the literati military generals are good to say, the literati let them write an article, the military generals let them pass the tricks, and the doctors can barely cope."

It's just that those craftsmen don't know a single big word, and it is impossible to come up with questions, so they can only take the exam on the spot, but for the on-site exam, the carpenter can let him do a carpenter, and the stonemason asks him to hit a stone, but what do you ask him to do when you raise pigs? Could it be that he was allowed to feed the pigs on the spot? That's not going to happen. ”

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "You did a good job, you didn't shave off the pigs and grass, these people are very important, I think those honest croppers are not very good at lying, what do you think is reliable, just send them to Chengdu, even if there is that indiscriminate amount, it can't deceive us how much silver, go back and think about how to select these strange people, such as investigating their previous pig breeding results." ”

"Yes."

"There is another point I want to correct, literati do not just write an article, I suggest that the test question is divided into two parts, a political essay, look at the talent of these literati, grasp the general trend of the world, and their logical thinking, the other part, need to examine the historical knowledge of these people, common sense of life, understanding of the states of the Han Dynasty, the art of war and strategy must appear in the selection of military generals, can also appear in the selection of civilian officials, maybe there are any Confucian generals among them, as long as there is any specialty, can be hired."

Fa Zheng coughed and said: "Lord, although your words are very novel, I understand what you mean, and they are all right, but have you thought about it, those examiners don't know what to do with the art of war, how can they select civilian generals who are proficient in the art of war?" ”

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "It's nothing, just look at what they say in Jiangzhou, the official is not afraid that Zhao Kuo will pass the exam, and I will personally go to see the exam in Chengdu, and it is not necessary to be proficient in the art of war to select people who are proficient in the art of war, just like the master of the phase to discover talents, is the talent of the master higher than the other party?" ”

Fa Zheng nodded slightly, and Liu Zhang asked Wang Fu, "How are those wealthy families?" Have you agreed to come to the Halloween Festival in five days? ”

Wang Fu said: "I basically agreed, but as far as I know, after our land order was issued, some wealthy families were secretly transferring their property out of Yizhou, I am afraid that they want to move their families away, do you want to curb it?" ”

Liu Zhang waved his hand, sighed and said: "If you want to go, let's go, we have forced people to leave their hometowns, so we don't need to kill them all, forcing these people to stay, and resentment is also a disaster." ”

On the outskirts of Chengdu, in the middle of an open field, there is a small wooden house, which was originally used to guard the rice when it is ripe, but at this time, a dozen people dressed in gorgeous clothes gathered.

These are the children of the Chengdu clan, who are pampered on weekdays, and now they are staying in this narrow and broken shed, the sun is hot in the sky, and a big man can't help but shout loudly: "Suffocate me, Old Man Yan, why are we discussing big things here, this bird place is stuffy and hot, and there is the smell of dung, what's the matter, no wonder the patriarch called me, if his old bones were suffocated." ”

"Brother Yin, don't worry." An old man who was old and dignified stood up: "We are also forced to do this, Wang Fu has been very strict in monitoring our big clans recently, and only this place is safe." ”

"Could it be that the patriarch wants to oppose Liu Zhang?" The man surnamed Yin said loudly, and the old man hurriedly silenced him, and waved his hand and said: "How dare the old man have that idea, the blood on the bank of the Jiangzhou River has not dried yet." ”

"Then what did the old man come to us for today?" Another young man stood up.

"Ugh." The old man bent down and sighed: "I have no choice, the state pastor of Benzhou has always been lenient and benevolent, but in the past two months, he has somehow become ......, first of all, the four disciplines, let those poor families, and even the mire craftsmen live with us, insulting Sven, there is immorality, and now Wang Fu has issued a land order, Zhang Song has issued a price limit order, mandating the market price, it is simply perverse, I think you all ethnic groups are also deeply affected." ”

After listening to the old man's words, everyone fell silent, and a middle-aged man said while fanning his fan: "What the old man said is yes, this spring is frozen, the cotton is hard, I have hoarded a lot of cloth, ready to sell it at a good price in winter, and now let Zhang Song make such a fuss, I am afraid that those cloths will be hoarded in vain." ”

"And." Another middle-aged man said angrily: "Originally, in the early spring, more than a dozen bankrupt farmers promised to sell us their land after the autumn harvest, but Wang Fu's land order came, and these mud legs immediately changed their words. ”

The big man surnamed Yin said: "With the strength of your Zeng family, you can't deal with these mud legs?" ”

The middle-aged man scolded, "What do you know?" These people are all bankrupt, and if you force him, isn't that a commotion? No matter how big your power is, it's useless, not to mention that Old Man Yan also said that the blood in Jiangzhou has not dried up yet, and those Jiangzhou clans are accused of bullying tenant farmers when they are punished, and our Zeng family does not dare to risk this. ”

A few people, you say a word, endless complaints, endless unwillingness, and finally Yin Dahan patted the horizontal wood and stood up and said: "Just do it." ”

Old Man Yan hurriedly said: "Whisper, whisper, Liu Zhang is the governor of Yizhou, with heavy troops in his hands, what do we oppose?" Alas, I came to you today, not to fight against the government, but to think of a way to stop the governor from continuing to perversely.

From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of the official collection of land, rented to the poor peasants themselves, let alone heard of the government to set the market price, the craftsman and the scholar to take the exam together can be called an eternal anecdote, and if this continues, our Yizhou family will have no way to live, everyone has to quickly think of a way. ”
