Cheng Qianye, Zhang Fu and Xiao Jin are sitting in the carriage out of the city.

"When will that Weibei Marquis go away? He won't want to stay in bianzhou for the new year." Cheng Chiba said angrily.

"I hate him so much that I have to smile at him. Zhang Fu, you can think of a way to let him go

Zhang Fu was slightly surprised: "the Lord thinks I can do it?"

Cheng Qianye patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Zhang Gong is omnipotent in my heart."

Do you think you are still a white lotus in my heart? This kind of thing is just right for you.

Xiao Jin thought: the day before yesterday, Wei Beihou just bullied the moqiao student, and the Lord's heart has been haunted. It seems that the slave's weight in the princess's heart is really not low. I just don't know if he I already know the identity of the princess.

Xiao Jin takes a look at Cheng Chiba, who is lifting the car curtain and looking out of the window.

Her white face glowed in the warm winter sun.

Although the princess is a woman, she is free and easy, and her manner is generous. It seems that she is not as formal and delicate as an ordinary woman. These days, she gradually adapted to the identity of the Lord, day by day appears calm and steady up.

For such a long time, no outsider has found out their secret.

Xiao Jin thinks like this: if that moqiao student is really liked by the princess and becomes a close person, it's not impossible, but he must help the princess to observe his conduct.

Cheng Chiba looks out of the window at the barren field that can't be seen. He looks back and points his finger at several cases on hand. Xiao Jin and Zhang Fu's attention.

"I want to carry out a policy of abolishing the existing system of minefields and adopting the system of granting farmland."

"Land grant system"? What is the land grant system? " Xiao Jin and Zhang Fu asked in unison.

In fact, it's not the land grant system. I've given it back to my history teacher. I'm just a little bit impressed by this system. Cheng Chiba is ashamed.

She dipped her finger in the cup and drew a small circle and a large circle on the table.

"Bianzhou is here, Dajin is there. If we want to continue to expand our territory from bianzhou. " Cheng Chiba drew a few lines out of his fingertips and spread his five fingers. "We must constantly recruit troops from the state of Jin and allocate grain and grass from the country. We have to go a long way and waste a lot of money. It's said that when the people come to fight, the people who grow grain will be short of hands, right? "

Zhang Fu pondered for a while, stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched the small circle.

"Yes, I think so. The abandoned land should be divided among the refugees according to their heads to encourage the development of wasteland. " Cheng Qianye leaned slightly. "We can send notices everywhere, as long as we are willing to enter our residence in the Jin Dynasty and do not move at will. No matter which country people are granted a certain amount of land. In the first year, I can also exempt them from taxes. "

She said: "in this way, the warriors of Jin Dynasty will open up territory in the front, and there will be a continuous supply of logistic support in the rear."

Zhang Fu's eyes were slightly bright: "this matter is indeed feasible, but many details still need to be carefully considered. For example, how many years old can a man grant land? How much land can each man grant? Does some of the good land he receives belong to the state, and some are allowed to be bought and sold privately? "

Cheng Qianye is very happy to see that Zhang Fu and himself are on the same page.

Xiao Jin frowned and raised an objection: "the land belongs to the nobility and the state, and the common people can't own it. This is harmful to the interests of the aristocratic families. I'm afraid it will be resisted by the domestic scholar bureaucrats and ministers. The foundation of my Lord's new appointment is still unstable. We can't change it lightly. I hope my Lord will think twice. "

Cheng Qianye knows that the two people's different opinions are caused by their different attitudes towards themselves.

Xiao Jin is more loyal to himself, so his priority is the stability and safety of Cheng Chiba's personal status.

What Zhang Fu valued was the growth and prosperity of the state of Jin, so he supported Cheng Qianye to do this kind of reform with certain risks.

In any case, both of them really have keen political talents. In Cheng Chiba's few words, they can pinpoint the key point of the problem.

, who has absorbed thousands of years of knowledge and culture, does not seem to have an advantage in front of these two talents. Cheng Qianye

Cheng Qianye patiently explained and discussed with Xiao Jin: "Xiao Sikou is quite right. At the beginning, we can not move the feudal lands of the nobles in Jin. Bianzhou is our new land. It is full of ownerless land. I want to be a pilot in bianzhou. "

"If it is feasible, we will implement this system in the future when we are in the Jin Dynasty, but we have to expand our territory. In the future, those who have made great contributions to the Jin Dynasty will no longer be granted land, but will only be rewarded with gold and silver titles. As for the existing fiefdoms, you are right. You can do it slowly without changing them. "

Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment: "bianzhou is full of waste, and the Lord has a high reputation here, but You can really have a try. "

Zhang Fu was silent, but in his heart he thought, "I've even lost my sight. Now it seems that the Lord is also an ambitious man, and this pattern It's not that smallWhen the carriage arrived at the bianshui River, Cheng Chiye jumped out of the car. Biyun, the maid she had bought at the roadside, rushed to serve him.

She followed her sister Xiaoqiu.

Biyun is more stable. Although she looks ordinary, she is delicate and thoughtful.

But xiaoqiunianji is still young. After living in Chiba for a few days, he gradually regains his cheerful and lively nature. His sallow face is also a little white and mellow.

As for the new Cheng often let them out, because the two little girls can not let the wind out.

She took Xiaoqiu's hand and asked, "Xiaoqiu, tell me, why don't your parents farm in their hometown and prefer exile to bianzhou?"

Xiaoqiu replied: "I don't have any fields to grow. All the good fields are occupied by the noble lords. Only when we plant a large area of public fields for the noble lords every year can we plant our little thin fields on the hillside. My father has to do a lot of labor, so he can't support his family. My youngest brother died of starvation

Biyun then said: "return to my Lord, the Lord of my former hometown always catches people to fight. There are no young people in the village. My father is the only adult man in my family. He is afraid to be caught and become a strong man, leaving his family to starve to death at home. That's why he escaped with us. "

Biyun's head down: "but fled here, also met the war, my parents have no way, had to sell our sisters to support my brother."

"If you give your family a piece of land of your own and only pay 30% tax every year, do you think your parents will want to move in?"

"That's for sure. Not only my parents, but also my whole village will want to move to my own land. It's a dream. My father will certainly take care of it more carefully. Make good use of every inch of land. "

Cheng Chiba patted her hand, "it will be soon."

Zhang Fu and Xiao Jin exchanged their eyes and saw a kind of comfort in each other's eyes.

Bianshui River, long waiting for the new bianzhou officials.

Wang Sili, the animal husbandry chief of bianzhou, hastily came forward with new local officials such as Zhou Cheng, Zhou Wei and Zhou Sima.

Kowtow to the Lord.

Wang Sili is a middle-aged man with dark complexion and short stature. It looks simple and honest when you laugh.

He wore hemp shoes, rolled up his trousers, stepped in the mud and walked in the mud. It looks like a diligent and loving official.

But Cheng Chiba felt very uncomfortable because she saw the color that made her uncomfortable.

I told you to go slow some time ago, but now I'm going to ask you if you should do such a thing.

Cheng Chiba had a fight with them and asked about bianshui river.

This river is a tributary of the Yellow River, the water is ferocious, so Xiao Jin has always attached great importance to embankment protection, often come to check.

Wang Si Li bent down and said respectfully, "thank you, my Lord. Thanks to you, Xiao Si and Kou Xian, you have sent people to reinforce the river bank in time. Now that the autumn flood is over, we can ensure that there is no water in bianzhou this winter. "

Cheng Chiba nodded and praised symbolically, not very impatient.

She glanced at the crowd, pointed to an official at the end of the crowd and said, "look at your dress. Is it the Sikong BA in charge of construction? Do you have any problems with water conservancy? "

The man bowed to the ground and saluted, "I'd like to tell you that my humble duty is Cui Youyu, the state governor. Now the autumn flood has been safely passed. But this winter it's cold early and the water freezes quickly. I feel that... "

Wang Sili coughed on the side.

Cui Youyu looked up at his boss, thought about it, and continued: "I think it's very likely to cause an ice flood. The Lord is also requested to dredge the river course and reinforce the river embankment to prevent water damage. According to my investigation, there are still some dykes and dams in the lower reaches of bianzhou, which are badly damaged and in urgent need of reinforcement. "

He took a roll of paper from his arms and held it in his hands.

Cheng Qianye unfolded a look, and saw that it was full of words, and also painted the profile and topographic map of water conservancy specialty.

All the state officials around looked a little ugly.

Cheng Qianye looks at Cui Youyu kneeling in front of him and says with a smile: This is a young man in officialdom. No matter where he is, he is likely to be a nuisance to his boss, but he works hard and his professional skills seem to be excellent. Of course, the main reason is that he has beautiful colors, which I can see at a glance.

"All right." Cheng Qianye put away the document, "you write a detailed plan for the overall management of the Bianhe River, and give it to me directly Er "

remembering that she couldn't understand it, she changed her words.

"Give it directly to shosco."

The party finished inspecting the river bank.

On the way back to the city, Cheng Qianye said to Xiao Jin, "that Wang Sili is terrible. You can find an excuse to replace him."

Xiao Jin was surprised and said, "Mr. Wang has been a state herdsman in Dajin for many years. He has rich experience and good reputation. I don't know why the Lord criticized him so badly. "

"Well." Cheng Qianye made up a temporary reason, "I heard some comments about his style. All kinds of styles are very bad. Otherwise, Zhang Fu, please check this person carefully to see if it is true. "I don't know what's wrong with him, but it must be.

Zhang Fu, you must be able to find out.

Cheng Chiba picked Zhang Fu with expectant eyes.

Zhang Fu had no choice but to take the order.

……

When moqiao came back from the camp, the guard stopped him and pointed to a man standing by the door: "that man has been waiting for you for a long time."

Mo Qiao Sheng saw that it was a Feng. He was wearing thin clothes, pale and motionless in the cold wind.
