Fu Qiu, also a criminal.

For many in Yanzhou, the fall of the year is not a good season. Cao Cao led a large army to patrol the whole territory. Although he brought food for relief, he also brought force to suppress.

The bandits and bandits who went up to the Juxiao Mountain Forest, and the fighting for the water source in Zhangcun and Li Village were all settled one by one under the absolute deterrence of force. Cao Jun took control of the Yanzhou water network centered on Onoze and Dahe, and summoned displaced people to dred the river to build canals in exchange for food rations.

Repairing the canal is a big project, and the wealthy can't be idle. Merchants need to help transport grains; poor families need to send knives and pens. Even the Chen family sold 1,000 acres of fertile farmland along the river to Cao Cao at a low price.

Chen Gong was so ashamed that he almost killed with a sword. "My family is unfortunate! My Chen family is not a family who can't eat, beast! Beast!" Although he was a little grumpy, he was really ethical. He hid in the tent for a few days and refused to see anyone, but he went to Chenliu to make a big deal again. , and ran out with a sullen face.

Chen Liu, Yanzhou County, where celebrities gather.

One of them was named Bian Rang, who was proficient in everything about poetry and Fu Zhou Yi, and was once treated by the general He Jin. If He Jin hadn't been killed by Yuan Shao early, it is estimated that Bian Rang would still be able to enter the central government and be the nine ministers.

Bian Rang grew into a madman. The Bian family did not have farmland with waterway and land, and Cao Cao could not treat him even if he wanted to treat him. But who called Bian Rang a madman? How can the descendants of the **** show that he is a madman without scolding the eunuchs?

The patriarchs of the aristocratic family who invited Cao Cao into the city for a banquet wanted to cry without tears.

And Cao Cao himself was about to laugh. With a wave of his hand, Dian Wei, Cao Ren and others rushed up, tied Bian Rang and his friends, and pressed them directly into the army.

While his hands were tied, he continued to curse, until something was stuffed in his mouth, and the world was clean.

"I can't, I can't." The white-haired Patriarch of the Bian family wanted to pounce on Cao Cao's hand, but he didn't dare, "It's not that the old man wants to favor the children of the family, but it's good for Bian to let it go. It is a famous person, if Cao Fujun wants to deal with him, I am afraid that everyone in Yanzhou will be in danger."

"Master, please get up." Cao Cao raised his hand to help him, and when the commotion on the scene subsided, he looked around, "I, Cao Cao, became an eunuch, this is a fact, you curse But now the drought has not receded, the people are changing their children to eat, the surrounding lords are eyeing, and at the critical juncture of Yanzhou's survival, disaster relief and military training are the most important thing! Who has the time to break up with you Old stories like fame?"

Cao Cao found a stone at the gate of the city and stepped on it, condescendingly, and said loudly: "When you asked me to enter Yanzhou, didn't you just want to see if I could protect the peace? Putting it here, everyone has no grudges in the past and no grudges in the past, and everyone will be happy if they work together to save the disaster in front of them; if someone pretends to be crazy and foolish, and plays with me, then the people of Yanzhou can't get better, and no one wants to be alone! "

When he said something, his righteousness was awe-inspiring. No matter how careful the Ren Chenliu clan is, they can't refuse it on the bright side.

"Nuo Nuo. It's time to get through this difficult time together." Three thousand stones, five thousand stones, because the children of the family have just been arrested, the price offered this time can be said to be particularly sincere. It's all unspoken.

The princes from all over the world found the head of the family, and they all asked for food donations. The family is also bitter, and feels like a sheep that has been cut.

But Cao Cao didn't play cards according to the routine. I saw Cao Amo laughed twice: "I entered Yanzhou, and I have received a lot of help from you. I must have been slandering me for a long time. I also don't think I can go on like this for a long time. I, I have to worry about how to return the favor, your boy. Female relatives who break the law have to open the net; you, when you see me come to the door, you frown, as if you have seen the **** of wealth and plague."

This is a cruel statement, but this is how the princes and families get along with each other.

The words understood to this point, Chen Gong could not help but not appear. He was originally the liaison between the Yanzhou family and Cao Ying.

"What does the lord want?"

"Pay your taxes."

The short three words seem to be dripping ice water in a frying pan, frying people terrified. Almost everyone felt that Cao Cao was talking about a dream. The big family also pays taxes on the surface. I said that my family only has five acres of land and five people, and the tax paid is the size of a fingernail. But in fact, how many fields each family has, I'm afraid the owner of the family can't count.

Cao Cao's "paying taxes" here means paying all the taxes. It's really painful. But now I am afraid that some hidden fields have to be spit out and reported to the government for the record. The key is: how much to spit.

"I don't want much." Cao Cao said to himself, as if he didn't see the wandering eyes of the family owners, "My brother's orchard in Weihai is one tax per ten. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, The farm in Pingyuan County also pays one tax per ten. I have agreed with you that the tax for ten acres of land is one tax, and the poll tax and miscellaneous donations are exempted. If there is any borrowed grain in the future, I will pay an IOU and return it within ten years. Wen Ruo and Zhongde.”

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, came out and distributed the documents to the heads of each family. How much land each family has, how fertile it is, what crops are planted, how much tax should be paid in total, how bad years are, and how good years are, each payment is clear.

Not to mention the hidden households in the hidden fields that the family came forward to buy, and even the properties purchased by the concubines in private were found out, which made people tremble with fear.

At the end, there is a copy of the "Temporary Tax Law", in black and white, pasted at the gate of the city. There is much more detail on paper than a rough oral statement. Who collects the tax, when the tax is collected, what is the seal, how to collect mulberry and hemp, how to collect grain, how to collect horse grass, what standard is used for measuring, and where to report corruption by tax officials.

The current situation is difficult, there are many fleeing households, the head tax exists in name only, and the tax can only be collected from the land. After exempting the extortionate and miscellaneous taxes, ten taxes are not too harsh. I have thirty farm officials here, and whoever agrees to take one home Let’s collect taxes. There is a severe drought this year, and the output is low and taxes are low. You all have grain in previous years, so you don’t need to cry about being poor.”

Inspecting hidden fields, accounting for taxes, formulating tax laws, and even today's coercion, none of which involved Chen Gong.

Alienated.

Because he is a child of an aristocratic family, he is alienated.

No, Xun Yu is also a child of an aristocratic family, does the Xun family also pay taxes? After the show was over, the restless Chen Gong was the first to find Xun Yu. Before he opened his mouth, Xun Yu guessed what he was going to ask, raised his hand and counted: "Ten taxes and one."

Chen Gong was stunned: "Your family is also ten tax one?"

Xun Yu nodded: "The lord's own farmland is a heavy tax of three taxes and two taxes. Cao's own taxes, public affairs, you may pick the wrong place?"

Chen Gong was silent.

"Why did you invite the lord to Yan? For peace, or for a clear lord?"

Chen Gong sighed: "After all, I still have some friendship with them, let me persuade them."

Some people take the lead, some people mediate, and it is easier for those behind to accept it. Finally, the iron barrel-like Yintian village also opened an opening to the Cao family. A rudimentary school and a medical hall were built in the dilapidated house at the entrance of the village. This time, there were also more farm officials who guided the farming and measured the fields.

Class contradictions are clear in Ah Sheng's mind, but for most of the nobility, they can't see so thoroughly or so far, such as Chen Gong and Xun Yu who see a little more clearly, will also Swing between centralization and family decentralization. There are also a large number of young ladies from bourgeois families who joined the underground party. The scholars of this era grew up reading "A Journey to the Great Dao, the world is for the public".

"Unite all forces that can be united." Ah Sheng wrote such a big vernacular on the thin Sheng Xuan, and then put the paper into the brazier and burned it to pieces.

They reached Shanfu County, the end of the journey. It's late autumn, and it's even more cold and dew, and the crickets' calls have disappeared.

Fan Ming, an academic officer, was stationed here for three years, recruited hundreds of students, built a road to transport grain, and bought countless fertile fields from aristocratic families. In this way, the entire Shanfu County spread his reputation regardless of the high and low.

The most successful one among the grass-roots officials in Yanzhou, Cao Cao admired him greatly.

"I asked him to go to Juancheng as a staff officer. Hey, he refused to go." He complained to his sister half-truths, "This kid has a promising future, which reminds me of Twenty-Seven. "

A Sheng hugged the stove, squatted beside Cao Cao, and looked at the roasted chestnuts in the fire. "Let him move the nest. Well done, get promoted."

Cao Cao was satisfied and stirred the fire. "I asked him to manage the agricultural tax and serve as Cheng Yu's deputy, so as to ease the relationship between the two parties." Cheng Yu was not severely punished, but the grassroots officials have always had troubles. Put a South Island system on it to prevent them from working uncooperatively.

"Brother is thoughtful."

Cao Cao took out the roasted chestnuts from the fire and peeled them while blowing his hands. "Hey, how many years is Fan Ming at your place? I can't even figure it out."

A Sheng took the chestnut meat from Cao Cao, threw it into his mouth, and mumbled vaguely: "I actually... can't count. Go back and check... check the file... I just remember him Both parents are first-year students.”

"First-year student?" Cao Cao was surprised, "So you're still an acquaintance."

A Sheng has swallowed the chestnut meat and wiped his mouth. "Fan Dadang and Nu Qu are all mediocre aptitudes and perform their duties. They don't want to give birth to political animals like Fan Ming."

"Haha." Cao Cao was amused, "Political animal, what words do you use?"

A Sheng clapped his hands and changed the subject: "After all, he is young, and it is the next generation's business to be the third public. I'm afraid you and I won't see it."

Cao Cao wanted to speak again, but Chen Gong had already broken into the camp. "My lord, the Bian family has already paid the taxes, why are they still detaining them? Is it because they offend the lord with words that they will provoke the calamity of killing?"

"I..." Cao Cao was interrupted by Chen Gong's words as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I persuaded my uncles to make concessions in the name of the lord's righteousness for disaster relief. Now, how should I explain it?" Here, you are a famous scholar in the world, why don't you dissuade the lord?"

Such a firefighting temper even gave Ah Sheng a headache. "Bian Rang interfered with the disaster relief work. Although it is not a crime, he is at fault. Go and persuade him to admit his mistake to Brother A."

Chen Gong: …If you can admit your mistakes, you should write the words upside down.

"He keeps yelling, which damages Brother A's prestige. We won't kill him, but a hundred miles south of Shanfu County is the Yuzhou of Yuan Shu, the fourth generation and the third prince. After the eunuch, I want to come and let me get along well with Emperor Yuan Zhong."

If you can get along well, there will be ghosts. Chen Gong was stunned.

& nbsp; Something will happen soon.”

The two brothers and sisters of the Cao family cleaned up the fluffy chestnut shells on the ground. Hey, the house is cleaned up, it's time to welcome the guests.

In October of the sixth year of Shaodi, Cao Cao built more than 200 schoolhouses in Xu County, which was in need of redevelopment. In the first month of the seventh year, Emperor Han moved to the Academy to live and teach publicly.

Since then, Xu County has become more and more prosperous, and even Cao Cao's government office is taking exams in Xu County and selecting students to be officials. The "Xuchang Road" referred to in later generations refers to the shortcut for the commoner to become an official, and it is also one of the earliest prototypes of the imperial examination.
