After the Qin State conquered the new land, it had the tradition of promoting county magistrates from border counties. The Qin officials in the north and west faced harassment from the Hu people every year. Over time, their decisive temperament was even stronger.

The newly conquered land, the county magistrates who are too benevolent and righteous often cannot control the situation. The local townships are humble and slandered, and the confused county magistrates are complacent about this good relationship. However, these townships are doing things to poach behind their backs.

The Kuaiji County Magistrate in history treated the Xiang family well, and Xiang Liang became a distinguished guest of the county magistrate's office. When Xiang Liang decided to rebel, the first person to kill was the benevolent county magistrate. The butcher Xiang Yu killed the county magistrate's family, without any gratitude to the kindness of the Kuaiji County Magistrate.

"This month, the grain collection team I sent was boycotted openly and secretly, and did not collect much grain." Qu Teng frowned and looked at the bamboo slip report presented by the officials of the county magistrate's office, with a solemn tone. "In order to maintain the army occupying Nanyang, it has to transport grain from Guanzhong. If this continues, it is not a solution."

Later generations had the so-called 28 law, and 80% of the wealth was in the hands of 20% of people. This sentence is common in any era. The first family in Guizhou did not have much surplus grain, and a large amount of grain was stored in the hands of local villagers. The central government of South Korea's control over the local areas was no more than that of Qin. The local snakes in Nanyang deducted the stored grain. Over the years, many local villagers' grain warehouses were filled with massive amounts of grain.

Before the county magistrate Teng took office, the black eagle secretly arranged by Jing Su found a lot of information. Money could make the ghost push the mourn. Some of the slaves in the wealthy family had been treated unfairly. Jing Su sent someone to secretly find them and paid a reasonable price. These people kept exposing the exploitation of the landlord class.

"I came to Nanyang mainly to supervise the construction of Nanyang's irrigation system and increase the grain supply in Nanyang." The censor Shi Lu continued: "To build local water conservancy projects with locals, it is necessary to quickly establish the ruling authority of Qin, otherwise, I will not be able to recruit Nanyang's manpower."

The Qin State expanded rapidly, in addition to developing its local potential, it also needed to restore the production capacity of the occupied land and achieve the strategic goal of fighting with war. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin and Wei attached the most importance to water conservancy projects. However, after the decline of Wei State, it was still difficult to maintain the existing water conservancy system, and only Qin State was still continuing to promote the construction of water conservancy projects.

The Korean country was small and weak, and the people were not able to build a large-scale water conservancy irrigation system. The genius water conservancy expert Zheng Guo was sent to Qin by the King of Han as a spy who was tired of Qin. After Qin took over the Nanyang land, the agriculture was backward and the grain produced was handed over to the landlords, the Guizhou leaders could barely make a living. Qin would not allow new land to become a burden to the country, so they sent Shi Lu, who was also good at water conservancy, to serve as the censor.

"The army stationed in Nanyang has not violated the Qianshouqiu after I declared the military discipline. Although I still don't trust the Qin people, it is at least not as hostile as before." The three county magistrates, county magistrates, and censors, in the bureaucratic system of Qin, have separated powers, disobedience, checks and balances, and cooperated with each other to stabilize Nanyang. The three people need to cooperate together. As the acting county magistrate, Meng Tian needs to use force to cooperate with Teng and Shi Lu. "I have arrested many dead and hard elements on the surface, and I also need the county magistrate to make an idea for those uncooperatives in the dark."

After conquering the land, there is always a process of digestion, including the new land into the local administrative and cultural system. The Qin State's national policy and culture have many differences with the six Shandong countries. The collision of different systems and cultures has caused many conflicts. The local rural heroes in Nanyang turned out that under the rule of South Korea, the Han King was weak and could not do anything to them, but suddenly became a citizen of Qin State. According to the Qin State's legal system, their vested interests would be lost a lot.

Qin law stipulates that if there are two adult men in the family, they will need to pay double taxes regardless of households. Qin State is home to one small family after another, and Shandong Six Kingdoms generally advocate the system of four generations living together.

The leaders of Guizhou may be deceived by the harmonious family spirit of big families, but the makers of Qin's laws are well aware of human nature. Living in big families, it is easy to conceal the population and evade taxes. The right to allocate resources is in the hands of elders, and it has a soil of intrigue and has a very bad impact on people's hearts.

According to the Qin law, the large households in Nanyang need to pay a lot of taxes unless they are honestly divided. The Qin people need to register their household registration as a basis for collecting corvee labor, and are not allowed to be punished casually. The Qian people sold themselves to the large households as slaves, and some people wanted to escape corvee labor and evade taxes. Now they have no effect in hiding behind the large households. The Qian people will not rely on the large households, and the power of the large households will be weakened.

The abolition of the old laws and the implementation of the new laws required a buffer period. Meng Tian sent military officials to various places in Nanyang to promote Qin laws. The news from Jing Su proved that there were many people cheating in Nanyang. However, without the endorsement of the county magistrate, Meng Tian was not good at handling the power. Meng Tian, ​​who came from later generations, knew that mutual respect among his colleagues would help the progress of his career.

"What do you want to do?" Teng tried hard to adapt to the role of a county magistrate. The power of a county magistrate is almost equivalent to that of a prince of a small country. He only needs to plan the direction and does not need him to run errands in person.

"Suppress and appease, use both hands." Meng Tian said slowly: "The history of South Korea can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty. It has a long history and has its own pride. For them, Qin was an invader. No matter how Qin showed goodwill, it could not completely win their favor. For those who were stubborn, prepare big sticks for them; for those who defect to Qin, they give them sweet dates. I once heard that if you prepare sweet dates and sticks, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world."

"Sweet dates and big sticks, you won't be afraid of traveling all over the world." Shi Lu smiled, "It's really an interesting statement."

"The old nobles in Nanyang always had to kill a group of people. Keep them for them, and they would only bewitch the unknown Qian leader against the rule of Qin." Teng couldn't help but look at Meng Tian more. He thought that Meng Tian was young and lacked enough experience and would have the kindness of a woman. Unexpectedly, Meng Tian realized the essence of the problem so early.

Teng has been an official in Longxi for many years, is familiar with the history of Qin, and knows that relying solely on benevolence and righteousness will not work. The original Hu people in Longxi were missing and were assimilated by Qin, so they were not convinced first. Since the old nobles in Nanyang were determined to be unwilling to integrate into Qin, keeping them will only cause trouble for themselves.

"The big stick removes danger and calms the sweet dates." Teng spread out the bamboo slips, wrote the order of the county magistrate, stamped his own silver seal, and handed it to Meng Tian. "This matter will be left to the county magistrate of Meng, and the censor will prepare the water conservancy construction plan as soon as possible."

"Okay, I will take someone to survey the days when the Meng County Magistrate reshapes Nanyang." Shi Lu bowed to Meng Tian, ​​"When the survey is completed, the Meng County Magistrate must give me a safe and stable Nanyang!"
