Three Kingdoms: My father-in-law is Lu Bu

Chapter 173
Lu Bu, Lu Qiling and Gao Shun, when Ye Xiao took Shouchun, used Li Feng's troops to take Donghai with ease.

Han Huai, the son of Han Yin, was captured alive. At this moment, he didn't know that his father Han Yin was killed by the mob during the turmoil, became a prisoner, and was escorted on the way to Shouchun.

Ye Xiao sits in Shouchun City and summons three advisers, Chen Gong, Mi Zhu and Zhang Hong, to Shouchun to discuss matters.

During this waiting period, Ye Xiao approached Xu Fu to discuss and sort out the plans in his mind.

This plan is also the governance plan that Ye Xiao came up with when he saw that Shouchun City is now in a vacuum without the landlord class and no gentry controlling it.

In order to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of labor, the equal-field system and the three-head system to manage the people in the territory.

The land equalization system is very simple. It is to distribute the existing unowned land to all the farmers in the territory, which is divided into two types: open field and mulberry field.

"Lord, if this land equalization system is successfully tested in Shouchun, my subordinates suggest that it be promoted on a large scale in Xuzhou. This is a policy that will change Kyushu!"

Xu Fu is now Ye Xiao's clerk, and he needs to help record Ye Xiao's equal-field system and three-head system into a book to form management regulations in the territory.

Ye Xiao was very relaxed. He just told Xu Fu the details and recorded them while drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Xu Fu, haven't you thought about it? This is a policy related to the interests of the gentry. I distribute the land to the poor peasants, and even the mulberry fields can be passed on to their descendants. This is a grab for food from their mouths."

Ye Xiao knew that Xu Fu was also from a gentry family, so he naturally knew why the gentry had always emphasized class.

"My lord, the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have always thought that this is the most stable way of survival, especially the farmers. Why should they be restricted from owning land? It's just because they are afraid that these people will have more ideas when they are full and satisfied."

Ye Xiao smiled indifferently. With so many people in the peasant class, representing the main force for the advancement of the entire society, how could it be possible to forcibly block their development.

"Yuanzhi, I don't think they are scary. You scholars, after reading a little, you feel that you don't understand. This way of thinking will change in the future. These farmers will be our greatest help. Do you understand that it is better to block them?" ?”

Xu Fu's eyes widened, and it was indeed the best way to do it right now.

Cao Cao incorporated the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou and created the military settlement system. In fact, his starting point was only to solve his own money and food problems, and he did not grasp this most important force in his hands at all.

After discussing with Ye Xiao, Xu Fu's vision has been forcibly opened up.

"So the lord means to give these people land. As long as we can guarantee their survival, they will work harder to grow the land and produce food. In order to inherit the mulberry fields, they will also work hard to have children and carry on the family line. In time, we can solve the problem of military rations through taxes and rations, and The population will continue to increase, solving the problem of the source of troops.”

As Xu Fu said, his heart was already full of admiration. Ye Xiao took back Shouchun and other unowned lands to himself. Although the military settlement system could solve the problem, it was obviously not as good as the land equalization system.

"Yeah, it's good that you understand that there are so many refugees in Shouchun, and it's just for them to settle down. Since we can get the support of the people, the situation in Huainan can be stabilized quickly."

Xu Fu nodded hastily, and at the same time he was a little worried, "My lord, the establishment of the land equalization system is so many times better than the military system. It can be called a meritorious achievement. I am afraid that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will copy it."

Ye Xiao shook his head very calmly. He knew how difficult it was to implement this system.

"You just said to implement it in Xuzhou, and that's the reason why I am opposed to it. If the test in Shouchun and Donghai counties is successful, it will be better. Otherwise, if you want to implement it in Xuzhou, I'm afraid Mi Zhu will be the first to object!"

Xu Fu thought about it for a second, the supporters in Cao Cao's camp represented the interests of the major wealthy families in the Central Plains, and this system of land equalization would obviously be more difficult than implementing it in Xuzhou.

Not to mention Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, the complex intertwined relationships between the noble families have already determined that they must give priority to their own interests, so how could they easily try to equalize land.

"My lord, this subordinate is worrying too much." Xu Fu nodded seriously.

Ye Xiao nonchalantly picked up a piece of sweet cake and handed it to the other party. Xu Fu smiled bitterly and raised the brush in his hand to indicate that he couldn't eat it.

"Xu Fu, I just came up with the idea of ​​the land equalization system, the specific operation is up to you, no matter what difficulties you have when the time comes, you will stand up for me and understand?"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but put the sweet cake into Xu Fu's mouth. He almost choked to death and quickly put down the brush and picked up the water bowl and took a sip.

"Ahem. Master, this is really embarrassing for this subordinate."

Ye Xiao laughed. Seeing Xu Fu's nervous appearance, he comforted him, "I will stand by your side. What are you afraid of? Speaking of the refugee resettlement system, you have figured it out."

Speaking of this, Xu Fu immediately straightened his back with confidence.

"The system of three heads, every five households has a neighbor head, every five neighbors has a township head, and every five miles has a party head, the township party is orderly, and we will register here for taxation and conscription in the future, with layers of management in place. Don't worry, my lord, this regulation is based on the implementation of the land equalization system, and I have already asked people to measure and count the vacant land in Shouchun and Donghai."

Xu Fu always draws inferences when doing things. Ye Xiao was going to say that he would wait until other advisers arrived to discuss the feasibility of the land equalization system and the three-head system before making a decision on the matter of measuring the land. Xu Fu sent someone to do it so quickly.

"Alright, it seems that Yuan Zhi is very confident in promoting the land equalization system, and it will be up to you to convince Zi Zhong then." Ye Xiao joked.

Seeing that Ye Xiao wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper again, Xu Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

However, the three counselors summoned by Ye Xiao came very quickly. They traveled lightly and arrived at Shouchun at the same time as Lu Bu and others set off in the East China Sea.

Ye Xiaojun held an internal high-level discussion in Shouchun City. The new regulations of the land equalization system and the three-head system were officially decided and implemented in Shouchun with seven votes in favor and one vote against.

It was not Mi Zhu who opposed it at the time, Xu Fu had already been prepared to persuade him, but finally found that Mi Zhu was in full agreement after hearing it, and looked at Lu Qiling helplessly.

According to Lu Qiling's objection, these fields were laid down by Ye Xiao and everyone, and most of them should be rewarded, which is a proper housekeeper's attitude.

However, Lu Qiling's starting point is entirely based on the typical aristocratic thinking, holding the field in her own hands, and indirectly tying other generals to her chariot to form a community of interests.

For his wife, Ye Xiao can't object, but he can't let this trend happen in the territory.

In the end, it was a compromise, and Ye Xiao asked Xu Fu to take out [-] mu of land in advance, and according to the current merits of the army, each person was rewarded with some.

For example, he reserved [-] acres of land for himself, [-] acres for Lu Bu, [-] acres for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and [-] acres for each of the four counselors.

Seeing that Ye Xiao was leading by example, everyone laughed and accepted this special reward, and did not dare to mention the land privately.

As a result, Shouchun County and Donghai County ushered in innovative policies, which will bring shocking achievements to the princes everywhere in the near future.

But these are all things for later. At the moment, Ye Xiao captured the two cities of Shouchun and East China Sea, and the news of the demise of Yuan Shu's pseudo-emperor's power spread to all nine states. As a result, Ye Xiao's reputation became so great that no one in the world knew about it.
