Chen Yi sat in the prefect's mansion and checked the piles of official documents one by one. Although these official documents were unorganized, many of the contents were even inconsistent, thanks to Chen Yi's powerful civil servant who had undergone preliminary screening of the documents in advance. Even the inconsistent documents were confirmed. These mutually verified information will tell people the real information. What Chen Yi needs to retrieve from these garbage files is these correct information. "So that's it. Now the total population of Xihe County is 560,000, of which 300,000 Han people are 360,000, and 260,000 are the Huns and other ethnic minorities or slaves controlled by them. Of course, there are less than the self-cultivated farmers among these Han people.

170,000, these people don’t have much seeds, grain and farm tools, and their lives are very poor. This is a big problem. The remaining population is occupied by the landlords. Although after several baptisms, these landlords are all nouveau riche with no background, they do occupy an important position in the economy. Because the county town has not obtained the food and grass from the court for a long time, they have to bow to these landlords of the aristocratic families and help them buy and sell slaves and make land deeds. When Li Fen arrived here, it was a foregone conclusion, and he could no longer change it. Now, in addition to the complete control of Li Shi County, the following three counties are still under the control of the government, which means that there are four counties in Xihe County that Chen Yi can reach. These few

There are only a few small landlords in each county, mainly self-cultivated farmers, with a total population of 160,000 and 140,000. Almost all self-cultivated farmers are in these four counties, and then the territory of the Huns is in total. There are five counties. Although the court stipulated that he only had one county to station, he now actually controls five counties, relying on nomads and his subordinate Han slaves to farm. There are four counties in a state of autonomy, and they are controlled by landlords from various aristocratic families. Among them, the largest of these are the Lin family, Hu family, Sun family, Pang family and Zhang family. Among them, the Lin family has the greatest power. In addition to completely controlling one county, it also extends its hands to several other counties. The Lin family once served as the court.

One of the officials is still serving as the county magistrate in Changsha County. He is a relatively good-for-working family among these families, so he has the greatest power. Then there are the Hu family and Sun family, and there are also some officials, so there are also many officials. The smallest power is the Pang family and Zhang family. These two families are the smallest and are highly excluded. If the Zhang family says that their economic strength is actually the strongest among the several families. Because the Zhang family is a business family, although it has accumulated a lot of wealth, in the overall feudal society of China, merchants have no social status. Therefore, even the Zhang family owns huge wealth, they are not valued by the other families. On the contrary, even the weakest Pang family looks down on the Zhang family. You can think about how frustrating the Zhang family is."

"Well, I'm not doing well. I have financial resources and a way to sell. It's interesting, it's really interesting. It's good to have resentment. With resentment and ambitious person, I can become the force to change the current pattern and make good use of it." Chen Yi was not afraid of anything else, just because he was afraid that these guys were a piece of iron, but now he knew that they were not a piece of iron, but now he was not to clean up these families. He must first consider the coming spring. According to the solar terms, spring plowing is still more than twenty days before. Jingzhe will be farmed. I will also speed up the preparations here. There will be no one to make trouble during spring plowing, because the Huns also know that spring plowing is important. Without the spring plowing of the Han people, they will not have the source of food to seize. Therefore, spring plowing is an opportunity. In addition, Chen Yi found out, take Lishi County as an example.

, because of the long-term military desolation, there is now a large amount of abandoned land. First, the population is insufficient, and second, there is not enough animal power to reclaim and farm tools. If human power is used, the soldiers on their side can help a certain amount. If animal power is used, they can have some animal power, and then there is a problem with farm tools. The special problem is that the iron officials in Xihe County have basically stopped working. Although the casting tools in the iron official workshop are still complete, no one is responsible for management. The iron official was killed unexpectedly last time, and the craftsmen were scattered everywhere, mainly because the iron official cannot pay wages for a long time, so the craftsmen returned to their hometowns and stopped doing this. They were better at farming than this when they went home. So first, they were to run the iron official workshop, and they also needed the armor and weapons in the future. Now they need at least some sincerity.

Chen Yi shook the bell at his hand, and then Qi Hu and Pan Yue rushed in with a knife in their hands, "Lord, there's no problem!" Chen Yi rubbed his hands. Although he was very moved by the loyal dog behavior of these two people, if he was always so nervous, it would not only be good for both of them, but also because he was always frightened by them, and he would not be able to bear it. ""Did you two say that if there was danger, I would use that small bell.

, That's it. "After saying that, Chen Yi stretched out his right hand and gently plucked the two threads tied to the table. The small bell outside moved and made a crisp sound. Qi Hu and Pan Yue took the knife into his scabbard: "Sorry, lord, I'm too nervous, please forgive me if I disturb you. ""It's okay, the loyalty of you two can be seen, I'm deeply moved, let's talk about the serious matter first, you two trick gentlemen call over. "Yes, lord, we

Go immediately. "After that Qi Hu and Pan Yue left the gate, and there were six guards guarding him outside the gate. Qi Hu and Pan Yue called two guards to ask them to invite Mr. Xi Zhicai. Now this level of matter no longer requires them to do it themselves. Their main task is to protect Chen Yi's safety at all times. Of course, only the two of them knew that there were already some people in black all over the body. These people often couldn't see any shadows. Even the two people who were deeply trusted by Chen Yi only knew the name of this special department - the Ancient Ministry. This was made by Chen Yi to decide after Chen Xiang. Chen Yi did not expect that Chen Xiang had formed a ten-person secret division in just two days. Chen Yi didn't know what method he used, whether it was threats, temptations, or other means. Chen Yi didn't want to ask about it. Chen Xiang would just withdraw money and finances. He didn't ask about the issue of the Ancient Ministry. He just believed Chen Xiang.

Soon, Xi Zhicai arrived at Chen Yi immediately, followed by two people carrying bamboo slips. These were the information and documents that Xi Zhicai had compiled for Chen Yi. Although he had only been here for a few days, things that needed to be handled one by one. Xi Zhicai had already taken the initiative to handle small matters on his own, but some of the larger matters still needed Chen Yi to deal with them personally. Chen Yi looked at the documents that needed two people to barely lift them and wanted to kill them. My God, why do you need to deal with so many things in the future when you come here? You might as well be obedient to stay in a small village for a lifetime, and you will not be so uncomfortable now. But you still grit your teeth and persevere. Since it was the path you chose. Xi Zhicai waited until the two people who moved the documents retreated, and looked at Chen Yi with a smile: "Master, do you feel the hard work and fatigue."

. "Chen Yi lay on the table with a decadent look on his face: "Oh, I'm so tired. I really thought I might as well give me a knife, but you should be tired than me, Mr. "" Xi Zhicai smiled and didn't say anything. He was indeed even more tired than Chen Yi. After all, his responsibility is to review all the documents and then select them from them to handle and handle them. His workload is actually several times that of Chen Yi, but he enjoys it. After all, he is a literati and specializes in the knowledge of war. He has always learned the study of governing the world, that is, the ability to manage government affairs. So now this job is what he likes, but the workload is indeed a little larger, and his health is not that good. Although with Chen Yi and his daily supervision, Xi Zhicai's physical fitness has improved a lot, if this continues, Xi Zhicai's body will be completely collapsed in a few years.

"Oh, it's time to find a few deputys for you to meet these arrested officials and investigate them. How is it now? How many people have discovered my true intention? ""I have to say, lord, there are still smart people. A total of five people have discovered the meaning of asking them to write the Spring and Autumn Period, and they swear to us one by one that we will never betray again. I checked and found that there were three people available. The other two would be better assigned to them to take care of themselves first, and then someone would have someone to monitor them to observe the results. ""Yes, I believe in your judgment, just do this. ""What should the rest do if the rest? ""The rest? Renovate the cell, then lock these people up, and then

Copying books, when will you know what to do? If you don’t know, keep copying them. If you dare to escape, tell the guards, don’t report them. You will kill them. "Okay, my subordinates understand. By the way, you should come to me for these things. ""I can’t hide anything from you, and you should read the documents. I want to run the iron officer again and use the days before the spring plowing to make farm tools. Now people need to find all the tool masters. I am going to hand over this matter to you and go to the countryside to find these tool masters. Do you want to take this job? "Because Xi Zhicai is a person who has suffered in ordinary people after all, and he can also experience the lower level of life more

It's not easy to live, and he can better persuade these people, so Chen Yi felt that it would be more appropriate to hand this character over to Xi Zhi." "Okay, that's OK. I'll take on this errand, but what should I do with my job? Will someone take over my job?" "I'm going to arrange your job like this. In addition to your three people, I'll call Li Fen and Zhao Gu and Zhang Ping to join forces to take over your job, so that you can temporarily fill your vacancy." "Well, it's very good, so where will I arrange my trip this time?" "Transfer ten people from the escort company to you. Dian Wei is idle now, let him go with you. You are drawing a platoon from the rear army. These people are responsible for protecting food and property, and letting you

When people come back to work, you can't just talk." Xi Zhicai laughed: "The lord's considerations are still so detailed, but there are many places involved this time. I want to remove a cavalry platoon in the front army. I don't know if it's feasible." Chen Yi touched his chin, "Well, I agree, and I will give you the talisman for the troops to be transferred in a while." Although Chen Yi and his team had just formed a troops, Chen Yi still followed everyone's advice and implemented the military talisman system. As long as they want to mobilize more than one squad, they must have relevant certificates and military talismans. Otherwise, even if Chen Yi himself comes in person, he cannot mobilize any soldiers. Except for the escort company, they are Chen Yi's most loyal fans. They can accept Chen Yi's orders at any time.

"Well, lord, is there anything else?" You are going to do this first. It is a great achievement to get it done. There is also a very important task. I want to take people to do it myself." "I guess you want to remeasure the land, because you have to solve the problem of spring plowing first." "Hmph, it's comfortable to talk to you, and there is no need to explain anything. Yes, take Lishi County as an example. There is too much land that has been abandoned and no one has cultivated so far. I have also asked someone to take some soil samples from these lands. These lands are fine as long as they are carefully cultivated.

I plan to concentrate the people and the land and exchange fertile land for the land they are in their hands. Although the county town now has almost all the fertile land in Lishi County, they have not used them well. So I plan to use these land to fully resettle these farmers. In order to take care of the hometown complex of some people, we will provide land nearby. Of course, now the rest of the young and middle-aged people are all young and middle-aged people. It's a pity. It's too cruel, so their resistance will be very low, and we will also send

Put a certain settlement fee, anyway, there are so many gold, silver and treasures, and it is useless to keep them. We just need to use them as much as possible. After all these are completed, I will immediately place the residents of Zhangjiazhuang. Those with special talents, such as blacksmiths and doctors, have been temporarily placed in various departments. Since Zhangjiazhuang has become part of us, we should take care of our own people wholeheartedly. Although we cannot give them fertile land due to strategic considerations, we must have a large number of them in all aspects.

Discount, I plan to go downstairs during this period, inspect the land situation on the spot, and after Lishi County is finalized, all the other three counties will follow this implementation. I want to go and see this matter myself. Anyway, I still can't get on the board for the time being, so I can only visit privately. Moreover, I also want to contact these families and see their attitude. Let's go and get some luggage. You'd better leave the day after tomorrow." "No need to worry about the lord, I will set off tomorrow." Chen Yi stood up and gave it to me: "I'm here to see my husband."
