A group of soldiers rode forward in a desolate field.

It is obviously the busy season of farming, but there are no farmers working in the fields.The loess in the northwest almost fascinated the eyes of those who came, and I am afraid that it also cast a layer of haze on their already heavy hearts.

"Wen Ruo..." Xun You looked worriedly at Xun Yu who had been stunned all the way.This time they were transferred to Yinping by the emperor, and what they saw and heard along the way shocked them, the children of aristocratic families who were originally living well.He knew that the people's livelihood in the Han Dynasty was in decline, but he never thought that the problem would be so serious.

The bones of the poor and lowly are exposed in the wild, and the rich and noble gentry play in the hall.

Even his self-proclaimed understanding of the sufferings of the people was hard to accept for a while.What's more, what about my little uncle who lived above the temple since he was a child?His heart is probably more painful than himself.

Guo Jia gathered up his clothes, not surprised by his friend's state at all.In fact, he had already fully understood these things during his study tours in the past few years, and the farewell at this time is only a deeper level.In his view, the Han Dynasty is just a bamboo house, which looks solid and clean, but is actually hollow and full of moths, which cannot withstand any wind and rain.

"Hey, I just hope Brother Huai is fine!" Guo Jia sighed intentionally and pulled Xun Yu back from his stupefied state.

Looking at the withered fields around him, Xun Yu recalled the manor managed by that fair young man, and his frown slightly relaxed, "Zhihuai is now the sheriff, so naturally there is no problem."

Xi Zhong shook his fan, looking at his friends with a little deep meaning.This time, it was Feng Xiao who personally invited him to come and "join" the governor of Yinping County.It must be a wonderful person to make Guo Jia value him so much!

Left and right are dressed in white, so why not take a look.Xi Zhicai just set out on the road with a group of people. After several months of running around, he has a little understanding of his friends. Gongda and Fengxiao probably didn't like the big guy a long time ago, but Wen Ruo... sure enough, he is a gentleman. , Loyalty to the emperor is still more important!

The four of them had their own thoughts and continued on their way.

"Hey! Ha!" The neat chant sounded endlessly.

"Hurry up! Over there, get out of the way!" The man dressed as a sergeant shouted loudly, making way for several people.

The four of them heard the sound, and hurriedly led their horses to get out of the way in front of them.I saw groups of people pushing carts and trotting past them.

The cart is a wheelbarrow pushed by one person, and it looks like a pile of limestone on it.

"What are you doing here?" Xi Zhicai's nerves, which had been numb from the shock, moved again.Xun You also looked back at the two people who should know.

"I don't know about Jia either." Guo Jia and Xun Yu had seen Luoyang Bie Zhuang, which was not surprising, but they were still quite shocked.Since entering the territory of Yinping County, they have been constantly washed away by the three views.

Projects can be seen everywhere, canals, waterwheels, food distributed by the government on a weekly basis, farm cattle and sheep in every village, and the reconstruction of the city in front of us.Along the way, a fiery scene that has never been seen before appeared in a border county that has been fighting all the year round and has just been taken back for less than half a year!

Several people deeply felt the people's enthusiasm for life and the rare peace at this time!

Guo Jia almost immediately thought of Nan Xing's determined expression when he said to him with a smile at the corner of his mouth a few years ago, "I want to build a beautiful society."

Now it seems that Nanzhihuai has really been realized!The moment he thought of this, Guo Jia realized again, what if the whole big man is like this?

The hand hidden in the sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.

Xi Zhicai seemed to sense that something was wrong with his friend's mood, and slightly turned his head to look at Guo Fengxiao's face.Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said with a smile, "The sheriff did all of this?"

"Ah."

"Then, Zhong must meet this one." Xi Zhicai smiled, and had never had an interest in Nan Xing before.

After passing through several cities in the same situation, the group finally arrived at Yinping, where the prefect's mansion is located.Along the way, several people were full of confusion. During the busy farming season, it seemed that no one was farming in the entire county. Most villages and towns were empty, but the city was overcrowded.

Seeing the huge word "Yinping" in front of them, several people felt that they could find the answer here.

Nan Xing and Jia Xu were sitting facing a pile of official documents, because they were arguing about the recent food expenditure.A group of captains and stewards in the hall looked at each other, wondering if they should be interrupted.

The entire Sheriff's Mansion was changed by Nan Xing into a place for everyone to work.Since the "cooperation" was reached with the Di tribe and the Southern Huns, the entire border has stabilized a lot.

Nanxing began to rebuild after the disaster.

Counting the number of casualties, applying to the court for disaster relief, appeasing the people, re-planning towns and other matters, because there are no old rules to follow, so everything has to be done by Nan Xing himself.

Only when you do it, you will know that many things are not what you imagined.Taking urban planning as an example, Nanxing intends to design it according to the planning of Luoyang City in later generations, and gather the villagers around each city to live in the city. This will not only concentrate public services such as education and medical care, but also reduce the difficulty of management. To prevent the recurrence of "clearing the wall and clearing the field".The captains and the stewards also agreed, but Jia Xu asked her directly, where did the city's water and artificial materials come from, and what should farmers do with their land?

For Nan Xing, who has no practical experience at all, these questions are almost impossible to answer.In the city in the form of lifang, each small part is protected by a small wall, and the doors are closed and locked at regular intervals, and the gates of each house are opened in the workshop.It can be said that this has both the purpose of war, and it can even be used for street fighting when necessary. It is a very suitable planning choice for the northwest region where wars are fought all year round.

However, when later generations planned Luoyang City, Daxing City, and Chang'an City, they were all built on the basis of rivers passing through the city.In the northwest where there are few rivers and little rain, domestic water and sewage discharge are problems if the surrounding villagers and troops are to be concentrated in the city.

In the end, under the advice of military craftsmen, Nan Xing designed the water supply and drainage system together with everyone.During the construction of roads in the city, the road surface is dug into ditches to discharge sewage.The sewage canal is covered with stone slabs as a pavement.Water cellars are dug in each square, and the surrounding mountain spring water and drinking water are introduced into the city's reservoirs with the design of Karez, and then introduced into the water cellars of each square with ceramic water pipes.

Workers were recruited from Nanxing's original subordinates in a short period of time, and then they led the farmers and sergeants to work together, so that a large number of professional skilled workers could be quickly obtained.

Because the northern gentry and gentry moved inwards one after another during the war, there are few people in Yinping County.Nan Xing commanded the "Yue Guan" and his caravan to publicize the news in the surrounding counties that the land is flat and sparsely populated, and the county guard Cheng Nuo will reduce tax for one year as long as the land is reclaimed, and the tax will be halved for the next four years.Soon, the tenants who could not survive, the refugees and even some bandits poured into Yinping County with their families.

The labor problem has finally been initially resolved.

But now, due to the surge in population, the old grain exchanged from Bashu is about to run out.But the construction has not yet been completed, and the spring plowing is coming to an end, but there is no manpower in Yinping County to cultivate the land, so there may be no harvest next year.

Nan Xing and Jia Xu couldn't stop arguing over this issue. Neither of them was familiar with civil affairs, so they couldn't come up with a good solution.

Fortunately, rescuers came soon.

"Everyone is here." Nan Xing looked at the four people in front of him, and he let out a sigh of relief.After seeing Guo Jia's shocked eyes, Nan Xing looked around the hall filled with sand tables, maps, design drawings and various documents in embarrassment. Let everyone see the joke."

Xi Zhicai casually flipped through the documents that had piled up to his calves, and the soft paper made him raise his eyebrows in surprise. Such white and soft paper is very expensive in Yingchuan, and it was unexpectedly taken by the sheriff. Used in official documents like this, he is indeed the son of an eunuch who does not understand the sufferings of the people.

With some contempt, Xi Zhicai put down the incomprehensible drawings in his hand and looked at the young over-the-top sheriff.

After they got acquainted with each other, Nan Xing signed up for Xun Yu and Xun You, and then arranged for a few of them to rest --- together with Jia Xu, who worked overtime with him for more than a month.

The streets of Yinping were not crowded with people like other cities in this county. On the contrary, there were almost no people except some uniformly dressed officials walking in a hurry.Because Nanxing asked to build other cities first, Yinping, as the capital, maintained its pre-war appearance, and it looked a little dilapidated everywhere.

However, the beauties in the alleys and the grass in the decaying gardens.

"Their footsteps are all in order." Xun Yu seemed very satisfied with their spirit, and finally showed his first smile in a few days.Xun You also sighed secretly, these people's footsteps may not be really neat, but their hearts are.It seems that they have a backbone, as long as there are loyal people, they can always be united like this.

Xi Zhicai looked around, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, wondering what he was thinking.

Jia Xu fell behind them. Originally, the gentry liked to ride cars and horses, but due to the shortage of supplies, even Nan Xing walked on foot. Naturally, a subject could not pass the lord in such a place, so Jia Xu did not have a car or horse.

But in this way, it is also convenient for him to observe these quasi-colleagues.

At this time, Nan Xing was flipping through the timeline she had written. The conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu that Jia Xu explained a few months ago reminded her.Liu Yu will be killed by Gongsun Zan in the next few years.

As the official of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was one of the rare people who had no ambition to serve the people.Nan Xing vaguely remembered that in the future, when those bureaucrats with corpses and vegetarian meals panicked, they even wanted to embrace Liu Yu, who was far away in Liangzhou, as emperor, but only thought of others after being rejected repeatedly by him.

In any case, it is a pity that such a person was beheaded by a reckless man like Gongsun Zan.

Nan Xing Xin flipped through his thick manuscript, thinking about it.

The sun was setting outside the window, and the warm yellow light softened the harsh frontier.

The next day.

Xun Yu, uncle Xun You and his nephew came to the governor's mansion on time according to the time of the Luoyang court meeting. They are the new governors.In the eyes of the emperor, the official positions of the two were lowered a lot, and they were transferred from the central government to the border county.Therefore, when Zhang Gui asked him for it, he and the Queen Mother approved it without thinking too much.

Before entering the Sheriff's Mansion, I saw a long queue at the gate of the mansion.The crowded appearance even made the two of them suspect that they were too late.

There are all kinds of people in the crowd, business travelers, farmers, children, and even barbarians in alien costumes!After learning about the situation from the little official, the two learned that these people came to verify their identities and receive their identity certificates --- if they need to leave the customs, they need to get another document.With their identity certificates, each adult male can receive 45 large acres of land (a unit of land measurement in the Han Dynasty), a set of farm tools, and residential land and other necessities for life. Adult women who marry with their husbands can receive 10 small acres (the same is a land measurement unit ) land on the side of the residential area, you can go to the cotton and wool textile factory to register for work, and get cloth or grain according to the working hours.Those who are not married can get 30 acres of land and a set of farm tools. They can also choose to register and work in textile factories.After the child is registered, he can receive one stone of grain every month.

Graziers, equivalently exchanged for pastures, cattle and horses.

While construction is not complete, all registered adults are required to participate in construction and to manage two meals a day.Correspondingly, the corvee will be exempted for one year in the future.

"The two of you also need to register and get your identity certificate." The clerk was obviously from the former Southern Star Department and was very proficient in these matters.After explaining to the two, the requirements were explained.

Since it was the order of the sheriff, the two naturally had no objection.After cooperatively registering the name, family location, and current identity, I received a small wooden chip with these information written on the front and colorful patterns on the back that looked like paintings but not paintings.

This is the real entry into the Sheriff's Mansion.

City planning drawings, architectural drawings, and drawings of various tools were either hung or laid out to occupy the entire hall.Some people dressed as craftsmen shuttled through the lobby with various tools.No one noticed Xun You, Xun Yu's arrival.

"Ah, Wen Ruo and Gongda, you are finally here." Nan Xing looked up from the crowd, caught sight of the tall crowns of the two, and greeted loudly, "Come on, I'm too busy!"

Fortunately, Xun Yu and Xun You were very familiar with the format of official documents in Nan Xing's hands because they often communicated with Nan Xing. They quickly took over the work of land division and personnel arrangement, which greatly relieved the pressure on Nan Xing.

At this time, Guo Jia and Xi Zhong were in trouble at the barracks.

The author has something to say:

Sui Sui Nian: Because of the updated farm tools, everyone used the plowing technology and the curved plow, so the per capita arable land area increased.

"Han Shu Shihuo Zhi" contains: "Today's farmer's family of five, there are no fewer than two people who serve in the service." , three hundred and fifteen shi. Food, one and a half stones per person per month, ninety shi of millet for five people, and 45 shi. Thirty stones, 350 thousand shi. Clothes, three hundred money per person, five people I spend one thousand five hundred for the whole year, less than four hundred and five."

In the Han Dynasty, a labor force averaged about 50 small acres of land, or 20.83 large acres, or 14.4 city acres today; generally, each household had 100 small acres of land, or 41.66 large acres, or 28.8 city acres today; each household occupied 20 small acres of land, or 8.332 Big mu, now 5.76 mu.

1大亩=2.4小亩=0.6915市亩1小亩=0.4166大亩=0.2881市亩1市亩=3.47小亩=1.44大亩(均为约合)
