At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 134: Difficulties in Administration and Employment

Wancheng, the governor's mansion.

Xu Fan said in surprise: "Are you the first to attack the city again this time?"

Xiaolan smiled and said: "We also killed Li Jun, the captain of Wancheng, and captured Wang Hong, the supervisor of Wancheng County."

Now even Yingbu and others looked at Xiaolan and the others in surprise. The Wancheng defenders were defeated because of their military morale, and the city on three sides was breached. It was just Xiaolan and the others who broke through first, but the three 2000-stone high-ranking officials in Wancheng They killed one and captured one and almost all of them took credit for it. This was really good luck.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "I remember you, you are heavy, Xiaohei and Xiaolan."

Then Xu Fan asked: "Do you all have first names but no surnames?"

Zhongdao: "We are all ordinary people, with names but no surnames."

Most people in this era were like this. Names were given by parents who had no surnames. Those born at night were called Hei, and those born by thunder were screamed. At that time, the population of the whole world was not large, and chickens and dogs could not interact with each other until old age and death. It was the current situation of society at that time. Having a name was enough for people's daily life. That is to say, after Liu Bang and his gang came to power, the pre-Qin ban on people was lifted, everyone communicated more, the population increased, and ordinary people began to have names. Have a surname.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "You are the heroes of my rebel army. How can you have a name but no surname? I will give you a good name. You can use your hometown as your surname. Where is your hometown?"

Zhongdao: "We used to be in Yangren County in Sanchuan County, but now we have moved to Xu County in Yingchuan County."

Xu Fan thought for a while and said: "You can take Xu as your surname. Just one word is not nice. You can call me Xu Chongzhao from now on. This is the name of a master in the past. You log in to the city first and capture two generals in a row. You are extremely brave and deserve it." Put this name on it.”

Zhong said with a hint of joy: "Xu Zhongzhao! This will be the name of the general from now on."

Xu Fan looked at Xiao Hei and said, "Hei can also be called Xuan, and you can be called Xu Xuan."

Then he looked at Xiaolan and said, "Lazy, is this also your name?"

Xiaolan smiled and said: "Mojiang rarely moved when he was a child, so my parents called me Xiaolan."

Xu Fan smiled and said: "Then you should move more. You will be named Xu Dong after Dong. This is also the name of a master. I hope you will not live up to this name and continue to make military exploits."

Xiaolan nodded and said: "The last general will be called Xu Dong from now on."

December 36, the 8th year of the First Emperor's reign.

"There are actually 1 million acres of official land in the entire Nanyang County in the hands of these Qin officials. They are simply becoming lawless. How dare they do this." Xu Fan said angrily while holding a roll of land records.

After capturing the entire Nanyang County, Xu Fan took Ji Xin, Zhang Liang and others to clean up Nanyang County's household registration, land registration, granary, arsenal and other information. After all, only by mastering these books and materials can the rebels quickly mobilize the entire Nanyang County. Human, material and other resources will provide help for the next battle.

The original place of origin of the Chu State, Danyang, was actually near Xichuan, the current Nanyang Army. During the Shang and Zhou wars, the ancestors of the Chu State defected to the Zhou Dynasty. Because of their hard work in serving King Wen and King Wu, they were granted the title of Viscount by King Cheng of Zhou and were given the land of Danyang. This started the process of creating great achievements in the Chu State. . After the founding of the Chu Kingdom, it continued to expand southward and then eastward, and its influence in the Han River and Yangtze River basins continued to increase.

Therefore, Nanyang County has been the core area of ​​Chu State for 800 years since the founding of Chu State. Nanyang has a vast territory and a relatively good degree of development, with 17 registered households and a population of more than 100 million. The registered fields exceed 2 million acres, but among these 500 million acres, Xu Fan discovered that there are actually 2 million acres of public land here, but only more than 500 million are actually distributed to the people. The entire Nanyang County Qin officials up and down seized almost 1500 million acres of farmland. Such an exaggerated act can be called shocking.

After checking the information, Zhang Liang said: "Since the 28th year of the First Emperor's eastward tour of Nanjun, the entire Nanyang County has never allocated land to the people. However, the number of prisoners they arrest every year has not decreased, and the confiscated land has increased every year. The entire Nanyang County has tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land in the hands of Qin officials every year. By the 36th year of the First Emperor's reign, it would naturally become what you see, general."

I have to say something kind to Shang Yang here. His life can be summed up as a life of no man. But for such a bastard, the only good thing he did in his life was to equalize land.

Although the people of the Qin Dynasty had various corvées and military services, as long as the males in the family reached adulthood, they would be divided into household registrations. Each male would be given 100 acres of land to cultivate. In order to protect the new household from surviving independently, the Qin State would generally allow the new household to survive independently. They farmed peacefully for two years, allowing the small family to accumulate savings before allowing them to serve in the military. Therefore, even Shang Yang knew that the leeks must be allowed to grow for a long time before cutting them.

Even Shang Yang would not have thought that human nature could be greedy to this extent. His descendants only wanted to cut leeks, not grow them, and did not want to do any dirty work. It can only be said that the greed of human nature remains the same even after traveling 2000 years. How different is this from a.

When Xu Fan heard Zhang Liang's words, he suddenly realized that the political power of any era has boundaries. If it is as powerful as the First Emperor, the territory he can really control is the small territory in Guanzhong. People below Guanzhong will act lawlessly and misbehave. .

In the past, the First Emperor was energetic and had not lost his original intention. He was strict in controlling the affairs, and the Qin officials below did not dare to act recklessly. But when the First Emperor focused on seeking immortality and asking questions, if he relaxed a little, everything would collapse.

Xu Fan said to Ji Xin: "Let Brother Zhou quickly arrange for officials to come over, split up a group of soldiers, and arrange them to serve as pavilion chiefs in various villages in Nanyang County. We must control the situation of the entire Nanyang County from the lowest level. The focus is the autumn harvest of Nanyang County." food, which will be related to the next development of our rebel army.

After the autumn harvest is completed, the land equalization operation will be carried out in Nanyang County. The reason why the people support our rebels is because we can bring them benefits. Nanyang County is surrounded by Sanchuan County and Guanzhong, and is at the forefront of the war. The rebel army needs the support of the local people even more, so the issue of equalizing land is a top priority. It is related to whether our rebel army can take root in Nanyang County. Brother Zhou needs to focus on this matter. "

Ji Xin said: "No!"

"Qin officials!" Looking at these information, Xu Fan couldn't help but shake his head. The First Emperor was already one of the top three emperors in the dynasty, but he still couldn't control the people below him from doing whatever they wanted. It was as difficult as climbing to heaven. If you relax a little, That means all the previous efforts have been wasted.

"Cai!" When Xu Fan and the others were checking Wancheng's household registration and field registration, huge cheers came from outside the house. Even though they were so far away, Xu Fan and the others could still hear the excitement of the people.

Xu Fan said with a smile: "It seems that the trial went smoothly."

Only Zhang Liang hesitated and said: "General, you are not afraid that future Qin officials will fight to the death to resist and add obstacles to our rebel army's attack on the city."

After seeing Tian Ji in front of him, Zhang Liang understood that killing all these Qin officials was not unfair at all, but his background still made him hate such an approach. The rebels can try Qin officials, but they cannot leave it to the people to publicly try Qin officials, let alone let the actions of these Qin officials be exposed. Zhang Liang had no intention of covering up for the Qin officials, but he was worried that such an approach would damage the government's status in the hearts of the people and increase the difficulty and cost of the rebels' rule over the people. Zhang Liang's thoughts can be accurately described in one word: "Later": It is to rebel against Tiangang.

Xu Fan said calmly: "But this approach can help us gain the support of the people. Ever since our rebel army rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, the people have always supported us, and Qin officials have been encircling and suppressing us. Now our rebel army is growing stronger because of the support of the people." , the people support the rebel army, and the rebel army will protect the interests of the people. If the Qin officials surround us, we will kill the Qin officials. This is not a very reasonable choice. How can our rebel army grow if we cannot distinguish between friends and foes."

"Ji Xin, give the minutes of our rebel army's meeting in Yingchuan County to Zhang Canjun, so that he can also know who our rebel army's enemies and friends are."

Ji Xin felt a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway.

After they listened to Xu Fan's "Analysis of the Classes of the Qin Dynasty" last time, people like Ji Xin recorded it as if they had found a treasure. This ability to analyze the world is simply the legendary dragon slaying technique. After learning the content above, From now on, it will be easy for their descendants to serve as counselors among the princes in various places. These people plan to use "Analysis of the Classes of the Qin Dynasty" as their own unique knowledge and pass it down only to their direct descendants. Even Xu Fan does not know this. This was the reason why Ji Xin was in a dilemma. The more people who knew the art of slaying dragons, the more people they wanted to steal the jobs of their descendants.

Among them, Ji's most long-term thought is that when he usually stays by Xu Fan's side, he will record Xu Fan's usual words. As long as he thinks they are wise words, he will record them one after another. Now he has a large book full of "Xu Yu". 》.

After the public trial, the rebels gathered all the captured soldiers. Those who wanted to continue joining the army were retained by Deng Zhong and expanded into Nanyang County soldiers. For the soldiers who wanted to return, the rebels gave each of them 1 stone of food. Go home, after all, Nanyang County is now under the rule of the rebels, and they are also citizens of the rebels. Letting them return home can also increase the progress of the autumn harvest.

Wan County, Baiheli.

Several soldiers carried a bag of grain on their backs and happily prepared to return to their hometown.

"The rebel army is so benevolent and righteous. Not only did they let us go back to our hometowns, but they also gave each of us a stone of food. What a benevolent and righteous teacher!"

Another soldier also looked happy and said: "I thought it would be difficult to survive this time, but I didn't expect that I could really go home. The rebels are so kind and righteous."

These soldiers did not know many words, so they could only express their gratitude to the rebels by talking about the benevolence and righteousness of the rebels.

"Captain Qin and the others were hanged well. Although they knew he was not a human being, they did not expect that he could do so many evil things."

"When Magistrate Zhang was hanged, he was trembling even more, leaving behind a pool of yellow urine. He was a coward."

Speaking of the Qin officials who were hanged, everyone became even more excited, and they all described the ugly appearance of the Qin officials when they died. Although the people could not sum up the incisive words of class, the oppression of them by the Qin officials was real. To be honest, they can feel that their interests have been damaged, but because the Qin officials are in charge of power, they can only bury this hatred in their hearts. Now that the rebels have arrived, their hatred has an outlet, and the people will not Like Zhang Liang, they felt that their hanging was too miserable, but they felt that it was too relieved.

Then a soldier looked at the old man and the young man and said: "Shi, you and Mr. Wu have made great contributions, why don't you stay in the rebel army. The rebel army is much fairer than the Qin army. If you make great contributions, you can become an officer, and they are so powerful." , the Qin army was defeated steadily, and you might become a general by following them." Although they had only been away from the Qin army for a few days, these soldiers no longer regarded themselves as Qin soldiers.

The two people in question were the Qin soldiers who had helped Xu Chongzhao climb the city wall to rebel. After the war, Xu Zhongzhao told Chen Xiaodao and Deng that they had made contributions to the rebel army. Chen Xiaodao invited the two to join the rebel army and gave them the position of team leader. However, both of them wanted to go home and rejected Chen Xiaodao. Knife's invitation.

Young Shi smiled and said, "I still have to support my elderly mother. Joining the army is too dangerous and not suitable for me."

Mr. Wu smiled and said: "I am already forty years old. I am lucky to be able to go home alive."

But when Mr. Wu thought that all his family members were dead, he looked gloomy. He once had two sons, but they both died in the war in the Southern Conquest of Baiyue. His wife also became ill because of this incident, leaving him to become A lonely person.

Shi and Mr. Wu were from the same hometown. He knew the situation in Mr. Wu's family. He thought for a while and said: "If it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't be able to come home alive. You will be my father from now on, and I will provide for you until the end of your life." After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu said excitedly: "Good boy, there's no need to kowtow."

Several fellow villagers also said happily: "Mr. Wu, you don't have to worry about having no one to support you until the end of your life."

Several people came to their hometowns, and their relatives came to greet them one after another, including Shi's mother. Their family was finally reunited. The little White River was full of joy, because this time they were very lucky and no one died in the battle.

Shi's mother showed him the house that had been repaired by the rebels and the newly allocated land. She said happily: "You will stay with your mother from now on, and we will live a stable life like this."

Shi nodded and said, "Okay, let's live a stable life like this."

Three days later, Baiheli Pavilion Chief Zhao Yu called everyone together and said: "Our rebel army will continue to march southward to Nanjun and rescue the people of Nanjun. We need 5 civilians. We Baiheli have been allocated 50 places. Who wants to sign up?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence. They couldn't believe that the corvee was coming so soon.

Shi said angrily: "You rebels are not saying that you want to be exempted from corvee service."

The suitable mother immediately grabbed her child.

Zhao Yu said: "This is not a corvee, it is employment. People who work as civilian husbands can have three meals a day and can also get 10 kilograms of grain every day. You can rest assured that our rebel army will not lie to others. You can give one stone of grain as a deposit first. Later, Calculated according to the date when you became a civilian husband, you don’t need to refund more, and you can make up for less.”

After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and those who were flexible were already planning to take a look at the situation. Now is the lean period. Many people's homes have run out of food and can only feed on wild vegetables. If the common people really have such a generous salary , the risk is worth taking.
