Don't show Hanzhong! Everything is well arranged! Later, he and Zhang Ji led more than ten Su Xin to return to Wancheng quickly, and when they passed by Shangyong City, they met with Du Ji and Xu Huang, and after explaining some things, they continued on the road under Zhang Ji's urging.

The two led more than ten riding nets out of the boundary of Shangyong County and entered Nanyang County, but they saw a side different from Shangyong County. It's not that Shangyong County is not good under Du Ji's governance, but because Shangyong County is originally mountainous, and most of the farmland is dominated by terraced fields, and after Zhang Xiu entered the boundary of Nanyang County, he began to gradually see a small plain, which was covered with green crops.

At this time, just stepped into the summer, the task of spring ploughing was completed, although the farmers' work in summer was not as big as in spring, but the fierce sunshine in summer made their hard work no less than that of spring ploughing.

Zhang Xiu rode on the dew, saw the farmers carrying water for irrigation under the scorching sun, sighed, and chanted: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops fall into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. ”

Zhang Ji heard it and said with a smile: "Bo Yuan seems to be very touched. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "All the people want is two meals to eat, but now there are wars and chaos in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and even if the people harvest 10,000 grains in autumn, they will not be able to escape starvation to death in the end." ”

What Zhang Xiu said was often seen before the two of them, Zhang Jinai was born in poverty. Naturally, what Zhang Xiu said was very clear, and when he heard Zhang Xiu's words, he couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, a guard behind Zhang Xiu said: "My lord, now Nanyang County and Shangyong County are under the governance of the lord, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. I had also ploughed the fields before I became a soldier, and I knew that the land tax was very high, and the land tax levied by the lord in the two counties could be said to be very low, and the people are now working very hard in order to survive the cold winter this year. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "How do you know this?" ”

The guard smiled and said, "This is what my brother-in-law told me." ”

Zhang Xiu patted the guard on the shoulder with a smile, and then ordered: "There are farmlands on both sides in front, control the horses, don't trample on the farmland." ”

And when they heard it, they all shouted their promises.

At this time, Zhang Ji looked at the sun in the sky and said to Zhang Xiu: "Boyuan, it's almost noon, the weather is hot now, there should be a pavilion in front." Why don't I wait until the gazebo in front of me to rest, and wait until the sun is not so hot before I set off. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "But it's up to my uncle to decide." ”

Soon after, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji and more than ten personal soldiers came to the gazebo not far away, this pavilion is located next to the official road, there are two towering trees nearby, the branches and leaves of the two big trees stretch out to cover the pavilion a lot, making this place much cooler than the outside, and people can easily feel cool when they are in it.

When Zhang Xiu came to the pavilion, he saw that the pavilion was full of peasants sitting near and under the big trees next to it, and they all put aside hoes, poles, buckets and other tools, and sat on the ground chatting.

The people saw Zhang Xiu and his party, and did not show the slightest surprise, among which Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji are both dressed as rich sons on a trip, although Zhang Ji is a little older, but the temperament of the martial artist has become a mature and stable, and the guards behind him are dressed as entourage.

For this kind of person dressed as a rich son, the people naturally see a lot, if it is changed to the past or no longer under the rule of Zhang Xiu, these people are afraid that they will be scattered in a hurry. However, since Zhang Xiu's governance, he has tried his best to suppress the children of the big family, and if he keeps his own government, he will not find the door, and if he oppresses the people, he is afraid that the people of the government will soon come to the door to arrest people and punish them severely.

There are still many small families in Nanyang County, and after seeing that the county has settled down, the children of these families have come out to oppress the people for a period of time as before. It's just that all of them were later captured by the Yamen. If the circumstances are light, those who only injure people will be put in prison, and those who cause death if the circumstances are serious will be beheaded directly.

These situations were all in every county at that time, and Zhang Xiu directly ordered severe punishment after learning about it. As a result, several heads were lost in each county, and even more were put in prison. In this way, the children of the family will no longer dare to oppress the people, and these families originally wanted to join forces to deal with Zhang Xiu, but with the strength of these small families, how can they fight against Zhang Xiu, the two sides have fought against one or two, and these small families have been suppressed so that they are completely unable to resist. At this time, Zhang Xiu sent someone to discuss with them and give them some benefits, and from then on, these small families would be divided up and no longer make trouble.

Zhang Xiu knew that although the family was a big disadvantage for the Han, it could not completely eliminate the family. The family also represented high-level intellectuals, and it was only because of the judgment of knowledge that the gate politics that prevailed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in later history was formed. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the advent of the imperial examination system, this kind of gate valve politics was broken, so that the poor scholars had a way out, and due to technological progress, the gate valve family no longer monopolized knowledge, so that as long as the poor scholars were officials for a period of time after high school

And these landlords can no longer exist for hundreds of years like the gate valve family, they will also rise and fall, and there will be destruction, and the so-called rich for only three generations is to describe these landlord families. As long as the poor scholars study hard, they can turn over once they are in high school, and the people in the lower classes will have a way out to be promoted to the upper class. And if the landlord family gets out of the gentlemen, then the property left by the ancestors will be spent, and they will gradually become poor peasants.

In this way, a cycle is formed, no longer the family will always be the family, and the poor peasants will always be the poor peasants. Poor peasants can change their lives through their own efforts, and if the family does not work hard, they will also fall into poor peasants. Although this system has many shortcomings, there is no doubt that it is more advanced than the centuries-old politics of gate valves in history. What Zhang Xiu wants now is to establish this system first, and then find a way to eliminate the drawbacks.

The family could not be wiped out, and if it was eliminated, he was afraid that there would be great resistance to Zhang Xiu's attack on the Kanto region in the future, and he also wanted to start with the small family and gradually change them to become loyal supporters of his new system.

Through Zhang Xiu's continuous efforts, in fact, the foundation for the establishment of this system has been laid. Among them, the collection of Lantai and Dongguan is the largest killer copper, it can be said that without this collection, Zhang Xiu would not have been sure to establish the imperial examination system. With this collection of books, through the way of modern libraries, we can continuously cultivate scholars from poor families, and knowledge is no longer monopolized by the family, and then select the outstanding among them through the imperial examination system. If there is no such collection of books, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu's road will be much more difficult.

And now it seems that Zhang Xiu is still relatively smooth for cleaning up the small family, first use force to subdue it, and then slowly send some benefits to them, after a long time, they will automatically become Zhang Xiu's loyal supporters, and Zhang Xiu can gradually change their concept through this means.

The long-term benefits of cleaning up these small families may only be seen by a few people, but the short-term benefits are seen by most of the people. In the past, all the gentlemen who used to act as prestige and bully the market are gone, and the people don't have to worry about offending these gentlemen inadvertently when they live and do some small business. In just a few moments, although the people still respect the children, they are no longer as afraid as before, and they avoid them when they see them. Moreover, not all of the children of the family are gentlemen, many of them are well-educated people, and they will help the people from time to time, which makes the people of Nanyang County and Shangyong County have a lot of changes in their impression of the family.

The people resting near the pavilion saw Zhang Xiu and his party, and they all looked at him with some curiosity, because Zhang Xiu's mount was too miraculous, fortunately Zhang Xiu had already wrapped the tiger head golden gun, otherwise he would stand out in this dress, but I was afraid that many people would know. Today, many famous generals are well-known to the people, especially some very distinctive people such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Xiu and others.

Zhang Xiu saw that the gazebo was already full of people, so he casually found a cool place to sit under the big tree. Zhang Xiu opened the water bladder and was about to take a few sips of water, but when he raised his neck to drink, he realized that the water bladder was no longer water. When I looked down, I saw that everyone was like this.

The guard smiled and said, "The lord and the villain will go to the neighborhood to get water now." ”

At this time, the sharp-eyed Zhang Xiu saw a boy about twelve or thirteen years old selling cold water in a cart not far away, so he smiled and said: "No need, go there to buy a few bowls of water and stand up after talking about it."

When the soldiers saw it, they said: "The lord" will go

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "No need, just get in touch with the people and understand their situation." With that, he walked over.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji smiled, motioned for a few personal soldiers to follow, and stayed where he was.

Zhang Xiu came to the boy who sold cold water, looked at the bucket on the cart, and saw that the water was yellow, so he asked strangely: Little brother, what kind of water is this? ”

The little boy was obviously still a little afraid of Zhang Xiu, and after hearing Zhang Xiu's question, he replied honestly: "This is made by using the tree that grows near my home, picking the leaves and frying them, and brewing them with boiling water, this water tastes sweet and quenches your thirst."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu's head flashed, and he hurriedly said, "Take a bowl and so." After speaking, he touched a few big coins in his arms and came out.

The little boy had already handed the water to Zhang Xiu in a wooden bowl at this time, and seeing that Zhang Xiu had put down so much money, he hurriedly said, "Childe, don't need so much."

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, just brought the wooden bowl to his mouth and drank all the water inside. After drinking, Zhang Xiu knew in his heart and said secretly: "It is really tea, and it is not the kind that adds a lot of ingredients in this era, but the taste of drinking is very similar to the tea drunk in modern times."
