"Then you give me the other person..." Pang Tong said weakly. When he saw that Sun Quan was not so angry, he said again: "Most of our girls now get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and some of them get married at the age of twelve."

"What, is this really something like this? Shishi seems to be on the sixteenth, and Shang Xiang is on the fourteenth and hasn't married yet."

"That's a gentry. If ordinary people can't afford to raise them, they will marry early."

"There is also such a policy, Xiao Fenghuang, will immediately leave a policy that girls are not allowed to get married under the age of sixteen. The offenders will be fined 1,000 yuan. It will be implemented next year." Sun Quan immediately ordered.

Pang Tongyi heard that it was wrong. Didn’t he come to teach me a lesson? Why did it become a national policy? He said, “Why is this? Girls can also increase the population when they get married early.”

"I don't have common sense, I have a baby before the age of sixteen. It is easy to have a difficult childbirth, and children are also prone to premature death, so the most suitable one is after the age of sixteen."

"How do you know this?"

"The data, you can find out after you go to investigate and then statistics."

"But this seems to be the matter of Zhang Zibu, why should I order it?"

"Have you become stupid when you marry a wife? The Zijin County and Jiaozhou area of ​​Guixi County directly issued an order to the Jiao Teachers of Jiangdong Six County."

"The problem is that under the rule of Jiangdong, you can directly manage the newly conquered places. What does Zhang Zhao think about the inner historian? What does Jiangdong think about the aristocratic family?"

"There is nothing to do. I have not implemented the new system of Guixi Zijin in the six counties of Jiangdong. It is the biggest compromise with the gentry."

"Okay, I understand, now is indeed not a good time, but what should I do if the Jiangdong gentry is in chaos?"

"That's why I have to train the army first. Trying soldiers and generals to my ship, the gentry is nothing, because in addition to the support of the army, I also have the support of the people, and the world is as stable as Mount Tai."

"Since this is the case, we should screen the gentry in Jiaozhou and clean up those that should be cleaned up. It is still easy to find some of the bad deeds of the gentry. Leave some of the gentry's powers and just keep some of the people who are loyal to support us."

"This is OK. You can notify Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin, Liu Ba, and Xu Jing to join forces to do this."

Then soon the entire Jiaozhou began to clean up the gentry. The government would find many illegal operations that the gentry had once been dealt with. Many of the gentry were scavenged, and the land and tenants were taken away by the government. Then a law restricting land rent was issued, stipulating that the landlords' rent within the Jiangdong area should not exceed one fifteenth of the harvest. Then the landlords had to pay taxes according to thirty taxes, which means that the landlords could have a income of 600 kilograms per acre of land. Then the rent could be collected forty kilograms of grain, and the remaining 20 kilograms. The tenant's personal life was free, and the landlords and gentry were not allowed to support their retainers, and everyone's land had to pay taxes.

Many young gentry landlords immediately implemented the new policy and immediately released their retainers or serfs. This increased the population of Jiaozhou by one tenth before the Chinese New Year, and the food and property seized from the gentry's families was as costly as the Jiangdong army for two years.

However, this has also had a bad impact. This was an aggressive reform, which led to the fact that the Jiaozhi Shixie, who was originally going to surrender, became tough and refused to surrender. Moreover, the gentry within the six counties of Jiangdong began to become unstable, and many people were connecting and undercurrents were surging. Because everyone was afraid that Sun Quan's policy would be implemented in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan also received information from Jiangdong during the Chinese New Year one month. Sun Quan found that this information was very time-consuming on the road, but the people who were taming the carrier pigeons still did not find it, so there was no way.

"Little Phoenix, we are still too young, we are a little impatient in doing this." Sun Quan gave the information to Pang Tong.

Pang Tong opened the information and browsed it quickly, and then said: "Are we going back to Jiangdong to stabilize the interior, or continue to conquer Shi Xie? I feel that Jiangdong should stabilize the interior first, this is our foundation."

"You are right, but we can't go back to Jiangdong directly. If we go back now, it means we are going back to showdown. We have to give an explanation, whether to implement the previous set or follow our set in Jiaozhou. If we don't go back, we can set up this card later." Sun Quan thought for a while and said.

After hearing this, Pang Tong thought about it and then suggested: "Then write to Zhang Zibu and Gongjin to show that the six counties in Jiangdong maintain the status quo. We will not change their attitude. Then we will break up with them when we pacify Jiaozhou and make preparations."

After hearing this, Sun Quan thought this method was good, but if he made a promise now and repented later, it seemed that he was not good for his image, so he said, "This is a bit back on his word, not very good. I think he can make such a promise. We promise not to lose the economic and political interests of the gentry. As for whether the new policy is implemented or not, we will not make a clear statement, but just say that we will consider the situation of the six counties in Jiangdong."

"This is OK, so that they won't be unable to accept it all, and they are worried and afraid, but what if someone is bewitched and used?"

"Then the training of our Jiangdong army has almost been completed. It's just right to try the power of the new army."

"Yes, it's too calm, no one knows that it's scared. If Shi Xie said that, we'll kill him after the New Year."

"But we still need to do a good job of publicity, that is, our requirements for the gentry are actually: to allow the gentry to be kind and treat the common people well, and let tenants and poor people live a good life. We just want them to obey policies and regulations, and will not innocently attack those gentry who treat tenants well and have the people in their hearts."

"Yes, I will find a few obedient gentry as representatives, and I will not deprive the loyal gentry of the power to be officials."

"It will move the whole body. I will issue another notice saying that as long as we abide by the laws and law and be loyal to our people under our rule, we can take the Jiangdong selection examination no matter what our origin is. If we pass it, we can become officials under our rule. How about we hold an official selection examination and an official selection examination? In the future, we will give priority to people with experience in official selection examinations."

"This is great. It's much better than any recommendations in the past. Anyone with the ability can get it out. This is awesome."

"That's right, the combination of civil servant exams and imperial examinations is naturally invincible."

"What? If you don't understand, why are you invincible?"

"If you don't understand, do these two things well for me, otherwise you won't think of going back to find your wife at night."

All the policies of Zhuya County are gradually advancing. Sun Quan remembered that he had not yet made a name for the two special forces brigades, so he called Chen Nian and ordered the special forces brigade to conduct a training exercise in the mountainous area of ​​the island, asking everyone to draw a detailed map of Zhuya County, and then he and Chen Nian took the imperial guards directly to the south of the island.
