Chapter 552
At the same time, Zhong Hui, who was in Huaibei, also received a secret edict.

He was named the Duke of Qi.

Zhong Hui shook his head, looked east with his hands behind his back for a long time, and sighed quietly, "Born at the wrong time."

Zhong Yong was shocked after reading the letter, "This is His Majesty's desire to make Father compete with the Prime Minister!"

With this imperial edict, Zhonghui was given the legitimacy he so desperately needed.

"It's a matter of time to compete with Zishang. If I don't attack him, he will attack me!" Zhong Hui said lightly.

The governor of Huaibei has already existed, but they were all temporarily established.

Later, when Sima Zhao came to power, he split up the major military towns, the governor of Jiangnan from Jingzhou, and Huaibei from Huainan.

The former governor of Huaibei was Lu Qin, but now he is replaced by Zhong Hui.

But the governor of Huainan is still there, and it is the world-famous Shi Bao.

But Zhong Hui didn't put Shi Bao in his eyes, "A car driver's ear!"

Shi Bao was born in a poor family. In the 23rd year of Jian'an, Guo Xuanxin, the visitor, went out to find a coachman. Diannong Sima recommended Shi Bao and Deng Ai. After walking for more than ten miles, Xuanxin said to the two of them: "The queen will be the prime minister."

Like Deng Ai, after being appreciated by Sima Yi, he began to flourish.

With Zhong Hui's background, he naturally looked down on Shi Bao, who had been a coachman and sold iron.

Compared with Huainan, Huaibei is more densely populated.

At that time, Deng Ai offered advice to Sima Yi: In the past, between Chen and Cai, the soil was good, and the rice fields around Xuchang could be saved, and the water flowed eastward.Order 3 people in Huaibei, 4 in Huainan, and 500 minutes off. There are often 3000 people, and the fields are kept.Shuifeng's regular income is three times that of Xi'an. After deducting all expenses, [-] million hu will be used as military funds at the end of the year.During the period of [-], [-] million dendrobium could be accumulated in the Huai River, and this would feed [-] people for five years.Taking advantage of Wu in this way, there is no way to overcome it.

Sima Yi accepted his words, in the second year of Zhengshi, the Guangcao Canal was opened. Whenever there was an incident in the southeast, the army was mobilized, and the boats went down to the river and Huai River. There was food and food without water damage.

The suppression of Wang Ling, Guan Qiujian, Zhuge Dan and others was actually due to Deng Ai's contribution.

Deng Ai diverted the water from the Yellow River into Huai River and Ying River to irrigate [-] hectares of farmland, thus connecting Huainan and Huaibei.

From Luoyang to Shouchun, along the way, the soldiers look at each other, and the chickens and dogs hear each other. When the army goes down in a boat, they can go straight to Shouchun.

Soochow was also overwhelmed by Huaibei.

"Xiangguo has Hebei Qingxu Yanyu, and his father only has Huaibei, how can he fight against him?" Zhong Yong's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Zhong Hui said conceitedly: "Yang Zheng was originally a county in Xiping, and Yongliang collapsed in a few years, and his father's talent is not inferior to him. Why can't he rise with Huaibei? If there is Huaibei, there will be Huainan, and if there is Huainan, he will be able to unite with Soochow. You can take Luoyang directly at the top, Xuchang at the middle, and Qingxu at the north. Doesn’t Your Majesty’s Duke of Qi mean this? His father is not Wang Ling, Guanqiu Jian, or Zhuge Dan. He has never had water in his life. Yea!"

Zhong Yong was speechless, naturally he couldn't compete with Zhong Hui with his eloquence.

At this moment, Jiang Bin begged to see him outside the door, "Captain, something is wrong. Sima Zhao issued an edict to cancel the farming of the whole country, and ordered the Huaibei farmers to return to Qingxu Yuyan..."

Zhong Hui frowned, "What a good way to get rid of the fire!"

The root of Huaibei is the farmland, and the farmer in the farmland.

Zhong's tone of voice is also because of the population controlled by his subordinates.

It has not been a month since he took office as the governor of Huaibei, and there has been no handover in various places.

Sima Zhao's edict came at the right time.

"Tuntian residents in Yecheng, Xiapi, and Xuchang rebelled frequently, and the prime minister's strategy benefited the country and the people." When Zhong Yong was in Luoyang, Sima Zhao treated him well.

"I didn't expect Zishang to come up with such a good strategy!" Zhong Hui looked regretful, "However, this strategy can't solve the crisis in the Kanto."

"This must be Jia Chong's scheme!" Zhong Yong said angrily.

Jia Chong has not been targeting the Zhong family for a day or two.

At this moment, Jia Chong was surrounding Sima Zhao to ask for his health.

Since Feng Sa's defeat, Sima Zhao's health has been going up and down.

In the past, he declined Duke Jin and King Jin, but now he doesn't want to refuse.

If he can't take this step, his son Sima Yan will have no chance.

The Sima family has been a power minister for three generations, so is the fourth generation still a power minister?

"The abolition of the garrison system is just the beginning, followed by the land occupation system, the household adjustment system, and the rank and official occupation of the land and shade guest system." 25-year-old Sima Yan talked eloquently.

"Continue." Sima Zhao took a sip of warm tea.

It was also sunny outside, but Sima Zhao was wrapped in a brocade quilt, as if the severe cold of Feng Sa's battle had always remained in his body.

"The Central Plains is vast and sparsely populated. There is no shortage of land, but there is a shortage of people. Therefore, the system of farming is abolished, the population is released, and the land is reclaimed by themselves. Men occupy 25 mu of land, and women occupy [-] mu of land. This is the class field. Land rent is collected by counting, [-] mu of land for men, [-] mu for women, [-] mu for men, [-] mu for men, and no lessons for women and children, and eight liters of rice for each mu of land. This is the land occupation system!"

Sima Zhao nodded in relief.

This son has been carefully cultivated, and today he is finally able to take charge of himself.

Of course, Sima Zhao also knew that this strategy was not due to him alone.

A group of talented people gathered around Sima Yan, including Liu Hong, Zhang Hua and others.

Especially Zhang Hua, the sixteenth grandson of Zhang Liang, was rated as the talent of Wang Zuo by celebrities Ruan Ji, Liu Fang and others.

"The households of Ding men will lose three pieces of silk and three catties of cotton every year, and Ding women and second Ding men will be halved for the household. This is prepared for the household." Sima Yan has also read it for many years.

"What is the system of high-ranking officials occupying the land?" Sima Zhao asked the most crucial point.

"Officials in the court can occupy [-] hectares of land at the first rank, and five hectares of land will be reduced for each lower rank. The system of shade relatives and guests is stipulated. Except for officials who do not have land lessons and do not pay household adjustments, they can shade their relatives according to their official positions. Those who belong to the nine clans, and those who are young to the third generation." Sima Yan said.

This actually guaranteed the rights of the gentry.

It is also a further compromise with the gentry.

Sima Zhao has been in power for many years, how can he not know the deep meaning?

The system of occupying land not only allows the people of the world to have land to grow, but also strengthens the interests of the gentry.

It's very simple, occupying land and occupying land, ordinary people robbed the gentry?
Therefore, the high-quality fertile land will naturally be "occupied" by the gentry.

However, the people can still be divided into middle-class and lower-class fields.

Moreover, the upper-class fields and the lower-class fields are not fixed. After a flood or an earthquake, the first-class fields and the lower-class fields will change.

In the short term, the Central Plains will definitely usher in an outbreak.

Both the gentry and the common people occupied the fields.

But in the long run, with the expansion of the gentry, the common people will only be further exploited and oppressed.

Sima Yan's regulations are very good. Officials in the court can occupy [-] hectares of land at the first rank, and five hectares of land will be reduced for each lower rank.

The problem is that it is impossible for the court to find out how many fields these gentry occupy.

"Great kindness!" Sima Zhao's face suddenly became bright, "This strategy can solve the predicament in front of us, and kill four birds with one stone!"

Jia Chong quickly flattered him, "Scholars are talented and intelligent, with the style of Taifu and Xiangguo!"

This sentence was undoubtedly an indirect reminder to Sima Zhao to hurry up.

Sima Yan cupped his hands and said: "Officials, nine people, one, the people are in poverty, I implore father to take pity on the people in the world, restore the officials to seven people and three, lighten the corvee and pay less, and the world will naturally return to its heart!"

Yang Zheng won Guanzhong and Shu, and the dispute between East and West is a foregone conclusion.

If you continue to fish in the dry lake, you will give Xi Mian a chance.

Sima Zhao nodded, "Just as my son said."
