The strongest Marquis in history

Zhu Shanchang looked wise, and said slowly: "The first thing I have to do when I take office is to clarify the law and rectify the folk customs."

"Nowadays, the laws and regulations in Dazhou are lax, the place is in chaos, and the clans oppress the local people, and there are countless rangers doing harm everywhere. If I take office to handle government affairs, the first thing I will do is to rectify the people's customs."

"Injury, bullying, and murder are all dealt with according to the law."

"Never bend the law for personal gain."

"This is to reiterate the 'law' and let everyone know that the newly appointed officials are not the same as the previous ones. The newly appointed officials want to benefit the people and are people who can make decisions for the people."

Zhu Shanchang talked eloquently and said: "This is the premise of everything. If there is no such premise, laws and regulations will be abolished, local chaos will be arranged, and no one in the local area will obey it. Only after the establishment of majesty and prestige can follow-up arrangements be made. "

Wang Qi nodded.

Zhu Shanchang's thinking is correct.

Wang Qi had a look of anticipation on his face, and asked: "In troubled times, heavy codes should be used. What you said is right. Then you have established your majesty and prestige, what is your next step?"

Chapter 234 Found a Treasure

The expression on Zhu Shanchang's face was quite serious, and he said calmly: "Second, it is to check the population of Nanyang County, measure the land of Nanyang County, and re-establish the yellow book of household registration and land."

"Throughout Nanyang County, thieves and bandits are raging, and people are displaced."

"The place is completely deserted."

"On this occasion, the aristocratic families in Nanyang and the rest of the family have been destroyed. So at this time, Nanyang County is a blank sheet of paper, which can be arranged by us."

Zhu Shanchang said: "At this time, we can smoothly check the local population and re-count the household registration. If the local population statistics are clear, then it will be of great benefit to local management and governance."

"Furthermore, only when the population survey is clear can the policy be targeted."

"If there is no such premise, all development will be blind. For example, if the government wants to exempt taxes, how many people's taxes will be exempted and how much can be implemented are all questions."

"Only by thoroughly clarifying the local population and land can there be follow-up governance."

Zhu Shanchang said: "Without this premise, handling government affairs will not be easy."

Wang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Zhu Shanchang has been recognized in his heart.

Whether it is the first point of law, or the second point of household registration and land policy, it is the key to local governance.

is the most fundamental problem.

Wang Qi nodded and asked, "What about the third point?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "Thirdly, use work instead of relief to help the people, so that the refugees and people in Nanyang can at least survive. The place is very chaotic, and life for the people is not easy."

"In today's place, the people are already in trouble. Their biggest problem now is not that they have no arable land to cultivate, but that they have no money and no food, so they cannot survive."

"So the third point is to use work for relief. The government takes the lead and pays for recruiting people to do things. The government takes the lead in digging ditches, building embankments, dredging canals, and strengthening the city walls."

"All the people who come to work can make money. As long as they have money, they can buy food. At least, the people can survive and will not starve to death directly."

"As long as the people have a chance to survive, they will be considered alive."

Zhu Shanchang talked eloquently, and continued: "If the local people can't even satisfy the most basic life, they can't survive without food. Everything else is rootless."

"Crack! Crack!"

When Wang Qi heard this, he couldn't help applauding and applauding.

He even admired Zhu Shanchang's logic, starting from the first point, it is one chain after another, and the chain is interlocking.Most importantly, these are arranged step by step.

Every step is to pave the way for the future.

Wang Qi admired: "That's right, it's very well said, but is there a follow-up?"

Zhu Shan said: "Yes!"

Wang Qi said, "I'm all ears."

At this moment, Zhu Chen's old cheeks were full of pride and pride.

His grandson was taught by him.

He knew what his grandson was capable of.

He is a master of internal affairs.

Such a person must be followed to have room to display.In the troubled times of the future, it is even more important to choose a good object of allegiance.Only in this way can there be room for talents to be displayed.

Wang Qi is the best candidate.

At this time, Zhu Shanchang was also greatly encouraged. His thoughts became clearer, and he said calmly: "Fourth, according to the population of the people, re-demarcate the land, distribute the fields, and then encourage the people to farm."

"Because there is a lot of chaos in the local area, the life of the people is extremely difficult."

"It is impossible to deal with taxes in all localities in full compliance with the imperial court's regulations. For example, the imperial court's taxation is very strict now. If the taxation is followed, it will be difficult for the people to recuperate."

"Therefore, it is necessary to reduce or exempt the people's taxes so that the people can at least truly support their families."

"The government's use of work as relief is to help the people survive the difficult and difficult days. When the government gives them the seeds to cultivate, they plant a season and harvest the grain. Then there will be a benign development in Nanyang County. .”

Zhu Shanchang said: "It's not enough to say that everything needs the help of the government,"

Wang Qi praised: "Well said!"

Zhu Shanchang continued: "Fifth, it is to develop the commerce of Nanyang County. Throughout the world, wherever there is prosperity and wealth, commerce must be extremely prosperous. If there is no commerce and only farming, the people will not be hungry."

"If a locality wants to develop, it must have the convergence of businesses."

"In terms of business development, businessmen are given tax reductions and exemptions, as well as various incentives. With these conditions, businessmen gather, and the local area gradually becomes prosperous."

"In this way, it can be regarded as great governance."

Zhu Shanchang said: "Of course, these arrangements are actually based on the premise that the place is stable and will not be invaded by bandits. If there are bandits invading from time to time, and they are captured by bandits from time to time, everything is useless."

"Although I have described five aspects, the actual operation is far more than these."

"Each item is a thousand threads."

"It's not easy to work."

"Moreover, the five aspects are not arranged step by step, some can be arranged at the same time. It will be more complicated when it comes to specific operations."

Zhu Shanchang said: "Now, I can only talk on paper, simply explaining a general direction of governance."

Wang Qi praised: "Mr. Zhu, you have a good grandson! The Zhu family has Qilin!"

When Zhu Chen heard this, his old face burst into a smile.

The creases on his face were completely stretched out, his face was full of joy, he smiled and said: "Young Master is very good, this kid is just figuring it out on his own. In fact, he has no experience."

Wang Qi said, "It's already pretty good."

Speaking of this, Wang Qi solemnly said: "Gong Zhu, I have confirmed Zhu Shanchang's talent, and it is very good. He may have many flaws in his governance. After all, he has never done it himself and has no experience. But his thinking , and his logic is extremely rigorous. But when he comes to me, he is not even a county magistrate, which would be very humiliating. You are really willing to let him follow me. "

Speaking of this, Wang Qi looked at Zhu Shanchang again and asked, "Zhu Shanchang, are you really willing?"

Zhu Chen never spoke, but looked at Zhu Shanchang.

What he should have said has already been said.

He believes that Zhu Shanchang is not impetuous, but can do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Zhu Shanchang looked neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "I am willing to work for the young master. Although the young master is still the head of a county, I believe that in the future, the young master will surely rise to the sky."

After a pause, Zhu Shanchang put his hands together, bowed and said: "Zhu Shanchang, I am willing to serve the Lord, and I implore the Lord to accept it."

Wang Qi stepped forward and helped Zhu Shanchang up.

Wang Qi knew that he had found the treasure.

He needs governance talents like Zhu Shanchang to govern the local area.With Zhu Shan around, Wang Qi was able to escape without having to deal with government affairs in the county government.

At this time, Wang Qi turned to look at Zhu Chen, bowed his hands to Zhu Chen, and said gratefully: "Mr. Zhu, Wang Qi is very grateful. Thank you for cultivating such a talent for me."

Zhu Chen said: "Young Lord, you are polite."

Wang Qi said: "Since that's the case, the matter is settled. When I set off, Mr. Zhu accompanied me to Nanyang."

"Here!"

Zhu Shanchang bowed in response.

Wang Qi didn't stay long, and briefly mentioned some arrangements to let Zhu Shanchang know the situation in Nanyang County in advance.Then, Wang Qi stood up and said goodbye. After all, the next thing to do was to see the Xun family raising troops.

He had to go back to Xun's house to watch.

As soon as Wang Qi returned to Xun's house, Su Lie said: "My lord, Xun Zhen sent someone to invite you earlier, saying that he had something important to discuss. Earlier, the humble officer said that you were going out to do some errands, and I will see him when you come back."

"understood."

Wang Qi nodded and went to Xun Zhen's study.

Chapter 235

Wang Qi entered the study, saw Xun Zhen, sat down and said, "Patriarch Xun is looking for me, what's the matter?"

Xun Zhen said: "Young Lord, the matter of the soldiers has been properly arranged. Our major families in Yingchuan have raised [-] soldiers. Among them, my Xun family has sent [-] private soldiers, which is the largest family."

Wang Qi cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Xun's kindness, Wang Qi is extremely grateful."

Xun Zhen said: "Young Lord, you are polite. Speaking of it, this is cooperation, and it is also a matter of mutual benefit. After all, Young Lord wants to publicize the righteousness of my Yingchuan family and the help of the Yingchuan family. "

Wang Qi said: "No matter what, without the generous support of the Xun family and other big families, I would not have soldiers to suppress the bandits. This is very important."

Seeing what Wang Qi said, Xun Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Qi recognized this favor.

Then, if the Xun family has anything to do in the future and ask Wang Qi for help, Wang Qi will definitely not shirk.

This is the benefit of favor.

Xun Zhen continued: "Our big families discussed it. In addition to donating [-] soldiers to the young master, we also gave food and some money. After all, along the way, we need expenses and food."

"Our big families also raised 5 taels of silver and [-] catties of grain for the young master to bring. After all, grain is needed for the soldiers along the way."

"As for the 5 taels of silver, it was given to the young master."

Xun Zhen said: "This money is a small gift from our Yingchuan family."

5 taels of silver is actually a very small expense for the big aristocratic families.

Not a big deal.

One hundred thousand catties of grain is not worth mentioning.

For Wang Qi, this was a great help. It would enable Wang Qi to not worry about the army's expenses and food supplies, nor worry about the food consumed along the way, and ensure that he could enter Xuzhou steadily.

Wang Qi nodded slightly, and said: "Patriarch Xun's kindness, Wang Qi will always remember it, thank you."

Xun Zhen still shook his head.

Now that it is done, it is natural to do it well, so that Wang Qi will feel grateful.

This is the key.

After Xun Zhen finished talking about the business, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "I heard from people in the house that the young master went out to do errands early in the morning. I don't know, but is there anything I can help you with?"

This is a trial situation.

Do you know what Wang Qi is doing?

Wang Qi noticed Xun Zhen's thoughts, but he didn't take it seriously, and said directly: "It was Zhu Chen and Zhu Gong who invited him. He has a grandson Zhu Shanchang under his knees, who is quite talented. Zhu Gong hopes that I accept Zhu Shanchang to work by my side. .”

Xun Zhen said: "Young Master accepted Zhu Shanchang?"

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Mr. Zhu has been working hard, so I can only agree."

Regarding Zhu Shanchang's situation, Wang Qi didn't say much.

After all, it is a secret.

Xun Zhen nodded, no more words, but a sneer in his heart.Last night, Zhu Chen suggested to everyone to send all the young heroes of his family to work under Wang Qi's command, but everyone refused.

Even Xun Zhen disagreed.
