Chapter 172 The affairs of the three counties in Jizhou

Gonggaocheng County Government Office, now the official office of Gonggao Order Ma Zhong.

After dealing with Zuo Feng, Tao Ying turned his attention back to what he wanted to explain.

"What I want to say next is to be gentle, it is called to interfere in the affairs of the business; it is called to be in conflict with the key points."

"But, for the sake of the people of Jizhou, I hope you can govern the three counties of Jizhou according to the model of Taishan County and Qingzhou."

Tao Ying's eyes swept across Hua Xin and Tian Feng's face, and when they saw that they were not resistant, he nodded secretly.

"It's winter now. The three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Ganling are large counties in Jizhou, with a population of more than 2 million. After this plunder by the Wuhuan rebels, the resettlement of refugees and refugees will be difficult!"

"So, taking advantage of the opportunity that the emperor was about to confiscate the wealth of the fugitive officials, he first confiscate the wealth of mediocre officials from all over the country to provide relief to the people!"

If it weren't for the three counties of Jizhou that "fall from the sky" that promoted their autocracy, Tao Ying would have slapped his butt back to Qingzhou long ago.

To put it bluntly, the three counties of Jizhou are simply a mess. Whoever takes over will be difficult.

Unless, just to be an official, regardless of the lives and death of the people.

Since there is another opportunity to harvest Jizhou's wealth, Tao Ying will naturally not let it go.

"I want Yuan Shao to be in the three counties of Jizhou, without any cheapness!"

Tian Feng and Hua Xin looked at each other. They knew very well that the Jizhou Governor's Ministry could not count on the resettlement of refugees in Jizhou. Jia Cong might be a good governor, but he was also a clever woman who could not cook without rice.

The Jizhou Governor's Governor could not count on it, and the Luoyang court would not have to expect it.

The Spirit Emperor was reluctant to give up 3 billion yuan from his private warehouse to help the people of the Central Plains. As a result, the people used only a drop in the bucket, and the rest were embezzled by the ministers in the palace.

The court could no longer count on it, and only the officials of the three counties in Jizhou could find a way to do it themselves.

Although Tao Ying proposed a solution, although it would offend many people, fortunately, there was an order from the emperor to evade and a problem of resettlement of refugees.

"Don't worry, even if you don't say it, Feng will do this!"

Tian Feng also thought it very clearly. He had been dragged into the water by Tao Ying. With the precedent of Wuyi confiscating Zhao's family, he would no longer have any concerns. Anyway, it was out of public interest, and he was not afraid of the world's words.

Of course, with Tao Ying's guarantee, Tian Feng was not worried that someone would come to him.

"Besides, if the court was asked to copy and confiscate the income, I'm afraid that a single penny would not be left to the three counties of Jizhou!"

The greed of Emperor Ling of Han is well known to everyone.

Tian Feng naturally didn't want to see such a result. For the sake of the people of Jizhou, he wanted to learn from Tao Ying and take action first.

"Marquis of Jinan, Xin is worried that by pursuing the money of the officials, he can only solve the urgent problem, but he cannot cope with the autumn harvest next year!"

Hua Xin looked worried, and her tone was full of uncertainty.

Hua Xin was going to take office in Ganling Kingdom. Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, and Zhou Chong, the former prime minister of Ganling, did not intend to provide relief to refugees.

Liu Zhong and Zhou Chong thought it very clearly. The Luoyang court had no money and food to allocate them, so they would not be so stupid as to use private money to provide relief.

They would not do anything like offending local surnames and powerful people.

Therefore, if there is no branch to rely on, you can only let it live and die.

"Simple, Hua Xiangruo didn't want to watch Ganling starve for thousands of miles and eat his son. In Ganling, whether it is royal family, big surnames, or powerful people, they will force them to pay for money and food to resettle refugees!"

A cold light flashed in Tao Ying's eyes, his tone was filled with a hint of coldness.

"This time I go south, I will let Lun directly command 3,000 troops and obey the orders of the Prime Minister."

Tao Ying's idea is very simple. Taking advantage of the opportunity to give Ling Emperor a chance to raise his butcher knife to the three counties of Jizhou for the unkind powerful people.

"There is no way. Instead of trying hard to communicate and compromise with these powerful people in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to sweep them into the garbage dump of history once and for all."

In Jizhou, nearly half of the gentry and powerful Han dynasties and powerful people have been entrenched on this land for a long time with the help of the filial piety and integrity system. They have already grown deep into their own roots and formed a series of their own.

Over the years, it not only became a cancer in the Han Dynasty, but also endangered local fairness and justice.

Tao Ying thought it very clearly. While Emperor Ling was still alive and had this holy order, he would just use a quick knife to cut the mess and use his iron-blooded wrist to uproot these powerful men.

"Anyway, there is Emperor Ling above to blame, Tian Feng below, and Hua Xin famous Han scholars can take the blame, and it has nothing to do with me, the governor of Taishan County!"

As for, will the place be in chaos if it does this?

Tao Ying was not worried about this at all.

"The Xuanjia Army under my command was born to suppress the powerful and gentry!"

Moreover, if you manage the local area, as long as you can gather the hearts of the people, as long as the people do not work for the gentry and the powerful, even if the powerful have money and food, they are still a paper tiger.

"I want to let the great surnames of the Han Dynasty and the powerful men fall into the vast ocean of a people's war!"

More than a month of cruel experience has made Tao Ying deeply understand a truth.

"If you want to live in troubled times, you must be cruel, and you must be crueler than others. Sheep are destined to be eaten by wolves!"

...

"Send three thousand Xuanjia troops into Ganling?"

Hua Xin's eyebrows jumped, and he instantly remembered what he saw with Tao Ying in Ganling County.

"The Marquis of Jinan is going to attack the great surname of Ganling, and the powerful are fighting against the powerful!"

Tao Ying had long been disappointed with the Ganling family and the powerful, and Hua Xin knew it.

"Hiss!"

Then, Hua Xin took a breath of air conditioning, frowned suddenly, staring at Tao Ying with deep eyes unkindly, and was secretly annoyed.

"This Tao Chongguang is going to cut off my Hua Xin's retreat!"

As smart as Hua Xin, how could you not see Tao Ying's plan to "kill people with a knife".

"In order to force Hua to board the Dow's ship, he really did everything he could do!"

Hua Xin really wanted to accuse Tao Ying in person, but Tao used a conspiracy and left him speechless for a while unless he gave up.

Don’t see that Tian Feng did not raise any objections. Hua Xin believes that Tian Feng is also aware of Tao Ying’s intention.

Tao Ying would not know what Hua Xin was thinking, and even if he knew, he would not deny it.

At this time, Tao Ying had the confidence to "choose ministers" and was no longer the lonely person at the beginning.

If Hua Xin looked down on him, Tao Ying, although Tao Ying felt it was a pity, he would not be too disappointed or forced.

"However, when relocating refugees, you must pay attention to means. Except for special groups, you must not be able to support them in vain."

Tian Feng and Hua Xin were both stunned, looking at each other, and a hint of confusion appeared in their eyes.

"What is the place to settle if you don't provide assistance?"

Mi Fang immediately reminded Tian Feng and Hua Xin and said one sentence.

“Work-for-relief!”

In this regard, all the heads of Taishan County are proficient.

Practice has proved that the effect is also very good.

"Zi Fang said it well, please continue to talk to the two gentlemen!"

Tao Ying nodded to Mi Fang with appreciation and encouraged him to continue to teach Mount Tai's experience.

"The repair of county urban defenses, the expansion of roads, rivers and canals, water conservancy clearance, and even the official burning of charcoal and bricks, all require manpower."

"Anyway, it is to make the people move and bring out the labor force."

"The money and grain seized from these criminals are used to pay wages to the people!"

After Mi Fang's experience introduction, Tian Feng, who was so blinded that he nodded frequently and sighed sincerely.

"Feng understands!"

"This strategy of the Marquis of Jinan is really wonderful!"

"In this way, it not only improves local infrastructure, but also solves the relief and resettlement of refugees, and eliminates the slack people!"

Hua Xin sneered in her heart, without saying a word, but secretly added to Tian Feng.

"In this way, the people's hearts will definitely be more towards Jinan Hou!"

As the contact with Tao Ying increased, Hua Xin felt that Tao Ying was unfathomable.

Perhaps, Tao should not be very proficient in specific transaction execution levels.

However, in terms of overall situation and strategy, Tao Ying is always the one with far-sighted vision.

Tao Ying casually put forward a few insights are enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the three counties of Jizhou.

"Zilong, keep your promise. The three counties of Jizhou are large in population. Nowadays, many people do nothing. You should recruit 10,000 to 20,000 Xuanjia Army reserve troops according to the recruitment standards of Mount Tai and Qingzhou, and take advantage of this to carry out large-scale winter training."

Since he had the opportunity to pull people from Jizhou, Tao Ying waved his sickle without hesitation and took the opportunity to select outstanding soldiers.

One is that the Xuanjia Army cannot use all Qingzhou soldiers.

One is that if you pick up good soldiers, you will reduce the chances you will give Yuan Shao in the future.

"The hundreds of cavalry who survived the Battle of Gonggao were all promoted to military marquis and military sages. Let them lead troops and train troops. Next spring, the three counties will organize a big competition to see the results of their respective training!"
