Chapter 0157 Yongyetian's plan
When Xun Yu and Guo Jia heard the message of the patch, they learned that Han Zhan had something important to do, so they quickly put down their work and rushed to Han Zhan's study.
After the three of them sat down, Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu and said, "Uncle, do you remember the first case you broke when you first arrived in Sheguo County?"
After hearing this, Xun Yu nodded and said slowly: "I remember that in order to teach a vegetable farmer who had a crush on a female boss, a chef in a mutton soup restaurant found a few gangsters, beat him up, and threw him into the Zhangshui River. Until now, he has never seen anyone but died. I sentenced them all to Qiu Hou to behead him, but the female boss in the mutton soup restaurant was also kind and loyal. He actually lost all his money to make up for the chef and saved him from death. Then the few of them disappeared. Zhan'er, what did you do suddenly ask about this?"
"I met those people in a mutton soup restaurant in the city today." Han Zhan said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that as soon as Zhao Ji and I sat down, a group of gangsters rushed in to make trouble. The leader also said that if the female boss refused to obey him, he would let someone smash the shop to pieces and burn it out with another fire."
Hearing this, Xun Yu slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "It's outrageous, it's outrageous! Is there any king's law in his eyes?"
"Uncle, I have already arrested this person." Han Zhan told Xun Yu and Guo Jia about the incident that he had at that time, and finally asked: "I invited you here to ask, how to deal with this person?"
"Jizhou has just settled, but the people's hearts are not stable." Xun Yu frowned and said, "I think it is not appropriate to kill people casually for the sake of safety."
"The Chief Secretary is such a bad word." As soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia retorted: "This matter is the best opportunity for the lord to establish his authority. If such evil people can be killed, the people of Jizhou will be happy."
The two people who have always been in concert actually had differences on how to deal with the matter of Xiaohu. Xun Yu advocated that Huairou was the main person, and it would be almost done if he was banished in the hall for a few days; while Guo Jia advocated that all evil things should be eliminated, and that such a person who did evil things must be killed and evil people like Xiaohu were shown to the public to serve as a warning.
Seeing that the two of them had been arguing over and over for a long time, but no results were achieved, Han Zhan quickly waved his hand to the two and said, "Okay, uncle, Fengxiao, you don't have to argue anymore, this marquis has made a decision."
The two stopped arguing and looked at Han Zhan at the same time, wanting to hear what he would say. Han Zhan coughed softly, cleared his throat, and said, "The evil ones must do it, and the followers must not ask. This tiger must be killed, and his subordinates can spare their lives and let them all do hard labor."
"Do hard labor?" Xun Yu asked in confusion: "What hard labor do?"
"Uncle, I plan to encourage land reclamation in Jizhou after the beginning of spring." Han Zhan looked at Xun Yu and expressed his plans: "Not only the people want to clear the land, but the soldiers also need to participate in land reclamation. Of course, I will not let them do it in vain. Every soldier in the Jizhou army can be awarded Yongye Field. When there is not enough personnel for land reclamation, these idle gangsters will be arrested to do hard labor to open up the land."
When Guo Jia heard Han Zhan mention "Yongyetian", he asked in confusion: "Lord, don't know what "Yongyetian" is?"
When Han Zhan saw Guo Jia's expression, he suddenly remembered the saying "Yongyetian", which only appeared during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He quickly explained to the two: "It is the land granted to the soldiers, which can be cultivated for generations, and it will not be accepted."
Xun Yu and Guo Jia are both smart people. After hearing Han Zhan’s explanation, they both nodded in praise. Xun Yu said, “If the soldiers learned that they had been assigned to their descendants, they would definitely be able to boost their morale.”
Han Zhan knew very well that the love for land in this era is far greater than that of later generations. As long as they can be assigned to land, they will definitely work hard on the battlefield in the future.
However, considering that he was still a layman in his internal affairs, he said to Xun Yu and Guo Jia awkwardly: "Uncle, Fengxiao. Although this marquis proposed the idea of 'yongyetian', how to enfeoff land to the soldiers of the Jizhou army depends on you to obtain a charter."
Xun Yu quickly stood up and bowed to Han Zhan: "Zhan'er, my uncle, on behalf of the soldiers and people of Jizhou, I will express my gratitude to you. If the real military and civilians carry out large-scale military farming and water conservancy construction after the beginning of spring, then there will be no more famine in Jizhou after several years."
"Uncle, don't have to praise you anymore." Han Zhan was really embarrassed when he heard Xun Yu's praise. He hurriedly said: "When formulating the charter for the land enfeoffment, if you two can't take care of it, you can also let Xun Youruo and Tian Yuanhao participate. One person is short of intelligence and others are smarter."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he also stood up and first stated to him that he had worked hard to formulate the ban on the ban. Then he changed the topic: "Lord, according to the detailed report from Yecheng, Ju Su Duke Ju and Yuan Shao were imprisoned by Yuan Shao for preventing Yuan Shao from sending troops to attack Guantao."
"Has Ju Su been put under jail?" After hearing Guo Jia say this, Han Zhan finally understood why he never saw Ju Su appear during the Battle of Guantao. It turned out that he had been locked up by Yuan Shao. Han Zhan knew that Ju Su was a rare talent and wanted to recruit him. He looked at Guo Jia and asked, "How is his current situation?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "After Yuan Shao was defeated from Guantao, he remembered that Ju Su had dissuaded himself from sending troops and was determined to release him from the prison. However, Feng Ji slandered him in front of Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao no longer mentioned the release of Ju Su."
Han Zhan knew that Guo Jia would not mention Ju Su to him for no reason, so he asked back: "Fengxiao, I wonder if you have any way to rescue Mr. Ju from the prison in Yecheng?"
Seeing that Han Zhan guessed his thoughts, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile with a gratitude on his face. He paused for a moment and said to Han Zhan: "My lord, as early as the Battle of Guantao, Jia sent several confidants to Yecheng to buy the guards of the prison. He just wanted to rescue Mr. Ju from the prison one day. Now, as long as the lord says something, I will immediately instruct these confidants to find a way to rescue Mr. Ju."
