Chapter 475 Three tough conditions
After Ren's mother left, Dong Hu almost became an orphan. When he was three or four years old, he dug a hole in the wild and set up a dangerous situation. It was also at that time that he and Dong Chi and Dong Hou became brothers.
Dong Chi, Dong Hou is older than Dong Hu, but there is a mature soul hidden in Dong Hu's body. In terms of intelligence, he definitely crushed the two of them and became the leader of them. The eldest brother formed a three-person hunting group.
For a long time, Dong Hu had to rely on hunting to live. It was not until he was seriously injured by a wild wolf in the wild that he became the shopkeeper of the butcher shop and the mutton soup. After that, he was out of control. There were more and more beggar brothers below, and he had to become a camel who sells salt...
But no matter what, although Dong Chi and Dong Hou are not visible, they are his most trusted brothers. At the same time, they are more suitable for spy things because they are in charge of the scout camp.
The two brothers have been saying something since they entered the city, and others were not sure what they said specifically. On the second day, Dong Hou sent a stack of reports, all of which were the fields, population, and money and grain in the warehouses of Hedong County counties... The most important thing is the output of copper mines and salt fields in Hedong County. In addition to these accounts and reports, Dong Hou also sent his daily notepads, which is a record of what he did every day over the past year, and this is something that every person at the level of general management must do. In addition to these, official files must not be missing.
A lot of books were thrown to Cai Yan, Liu Bian, and Xiao Dong Bai was still a little younger and needed to stay by his side to teach him all the time. As he and Dong Mao said, the daughter-in-law were more capable, and even if her son was a waste, she could lose less, right?
When Cai Yan was in Beidi County, she had seen Dong Buyicon's simple and convenient report style. She was as smart as Ruan Yu and also learned how to add or subtract operations early. She could even use the abacus used by Dong Buyicon. Liu Bian was too far apart and could not know anything. She was not as good as the ten-year-old Dong Bai.
Throwing the account book to two young people is to train them. What Dong Hu cares more about is Dong Hou’s record notebook. Although it is boring, he can also know what happened in Hedong County from above. Of course, the notepad is easy to fake. But he doesn’t believe that his brother will do such things because it is unnecessary. No matter whether it is done well or worse, he will not be too harsh. At most, he will find people and tell them how to do it, how to start, or what things need to be paid attention to.
Whether good or bad, Dong Hu will not be too harsh on his brothers below. If he lacks experience in doing things, he will inevitably make mistakes of one kind or another. The important thing is to discover the mistakes and correct them. Instead of letting the uncontrollable family be the chief officials, he is more willing to believe in brothers who have deficiencies but are trustworthy.
Hedong County is too important to Dong Hu. It is not only the population of Hedong County, but more importantly, there are Yantian, copper mines, Yuanqu, Fenyang, Xinxiang, Quwo, Yicheng, Wenxi, Xie County, Pinglu, Xia County, and Guangchang. It is an extremely important source of copper coins in the Han Dynasty, and what he scratches his head the most is the shortage of copper coins.
After throwing the account book to the two young employed people, he wanted to go to the custody warehouse to take a look, but before he could walk out of the custody, the Hedong Wei family brought a group of old men to block the door, looking like they were in trouble.
"snort!"
Dong Hu snorted coldly in his heart, but there was nothing unusual on his face. A group of old men bowed with fists, and he also bowed.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
Dong Hu stood outside the door, not even letting people enter the yard, which also made a group of famous old people feel gloomy and unhappy. A young man suddenly stepped forward and punched him in a cold face.
"Wei family and Wei are coveted, how dare you ask the general, I, Hedong, are all loyal and kind people from the court, why is the general framed the people of Hedong?"
"Framed?"
Dong Hu ignored Wei Ji, walked to an old man with a smile on his face, leaned his body slightly and whispered in the old man's ear.
"I am just framed, so what can you do with the Wei family? Do you really think that we dare not cut off all the Wei family's elders and young people as slaves?"
"you……"
"Do you really think we dare not go to the Wei family?"
Dong Hu looked down at the old man who was only tall with his chest. After a while, the old man silently clasped his fists and bowed his head.
"Yes... it's Menglang of my Wei family."
"Uncle, you..."
"Shut up!"
The old man with a spot on his face was just spoken, and Wei Ji was very anxious, but the old man stopped him with a cold face. All the people changed their expressions.
"hehe……"
Dong Hu stepped a little, looked at the 10 or 20 old men, and smiled and said, "Hedong County is adjacent to Taiyuan County. You all think that you know what we did in Taiyuan County. We don't want to kill people, but you are forcing us to raise our swords and take action!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because our soldiers have no money and food to support them, because you occupy too much land and population, our soldiers do not have enough taxes, and they do not have enough money and food to support them!"
An accident occurred at the gate of the mansion. Dong Chong was the first to rush over with three thousand heavy armored cavalry. Facing a pile of accounts, Cai Yan was scratching his head, Liu Bian hurriedly ran out to check it out. In a short time, the gate of the prefect's mansion was surrounded by people, and more than ten old men looked pale...
Dong Hu stood in front of everyone with his legs slightly, looking at one or twenty people coldly.
"The world is uneasy, and people who cause rebellion are one after another. Hedong County is temporarily placed in the wartime military control area. All the fields belong to the prefect's office, and the fields are divided equally according to the people of each county... Of course, your families can keep the fields under your name, and we can not touch your inch of the fields."
After speaking, more than ten people suddenly became turbulent, and the head of the Wei family hesitated to step forward.
"Little man Wei Can, is the general's words true?"
"We can make a pit with spit! But! What did the families in Liangzhou agree, and all the families in Hedong County must agree!"
Dong Hu said: "First, the rent of the land shall not exceed 30%; second, the land shall not be deserted. If it is not natural disasters or man-made disasters or when the fields are closed and fattened, the land shall be desolate for a year, and the land shall be punished according to 50% of the output of the deserted land, and then 10% shall be added for every year of desolate land; third, a fully armed soldier must be provided for every five hectares of land."
"As long as you agree to our three conditions, we will recognize the ownership of the land owned by your families, otherwise... don't blame us for being cold-blooded and ruthless!"
As soon as three conditions came out, more than ten people's expressions changed wildly...
"You are in vaining the laws of the court!"
The young and energetic Wei Ji was furious. Dong Chong was about to kill him with a gloomy face, but Dong Hu waved his hand, and suddenly there was disdain and sarcasm on his face.
"If you are not convinced, you can go to Luoyang to sue us!"
Grain and corvette
"you……"
"Bang!"
Dong Hu kicked the man several steps, scaring others to hurry and dodge...
"snort!"
Dong Hu stepped on Wei Ji's chest. Even though the eight-foot-foot young man struggled hard, how could he break free from the force on his chest?
"All the court are benevolent and loyal ministers, and they are benevolent and loving the people. The rent is no more than 30%. Is it still beneficial to the people? Is it a benevolent act?"
"The people are based on agriculture, and the country is stable!"
"Droughts, floods, wars, man-made disasters, and farming and resting in three years. We can admit that we cannot resist wasteland, but we do not admit that others deliberately abandon the fields-"
Dong Hu was furious and suddenly exerted force under his feet. Wei Ji's cheeks instantly crawled with thick blood vessels, and his face turned ferocious and terrifying...
"snort!"
"Occupying the best land but deliberately planting it in vain, deliberately hoarding grain and selling it, just like deliberately killing people, this is a serious crime!"
"Those who deliberately kill people will die! It is already kind to punish me for confiscating money and food for deliberate waste of land. I dare to chat with us. I don't mind my hands are covered with blood!"
"snort!"
"Five hectares of land, five hundred acres, and 30% of them rented 450 stones. Can you afford to support a soldier-"
"Ordinary people have to pay taxes to support soldiers, why should you be exempted from taxes to support soldiers-"
"Is it because you have a lot of land--"
Dong Hu was furious, and countless soldiers drew their swords with a bang...
"snort!"
Dong Hu almost stepped on Wei Ji to death. After a while, he raised his feet coldly and stood in front of everyone with a cold face.
"No matter what you think, no matter what kind of merits and glory your family has, as long as we and our brothers stay in Hedong County for a day, you must abide by the rules we set!"
"Either you promised our three conditions, or I will confiscate your land. If you are not convinced, you can go to Luoyang to impeach His Majesty, or even raise troops to rebel. Our brothers are not afraid of you treason for rebellion!"
"snort!"
Dong Hu snorted coldly and waved to Liu Bian who was stretching his head.
"Liu Bian!"
Liu Bian didn't expect that he would suddenly call his name. He took a step back and then lowered his head and stepped forward. Seeing him like this, even Cai Yan shook his head secretly, let alone others.
"From today, you will temporarily serve as the prefect of Hedong County. Within ten days... we must copy 1,000 copies of our three conditions today. All counties and villages in Hedong County must post them. The people cannot read... arrest people for us, go to each county, and explain them clearly to us!"
Liu Bian was stunned for a moment, and the others were also shocked. Instead, the prefect Dong Hou had no strange face, as if he had known it for a long time.
"As long as you follow the order!"
Dong Hu shouted angrily, Liu Bian shivered, and hurriedly imitated others to clasp their fists.
"promise!"
Dong Hu knew Liu Bian's temperament and didn't say much about it. The next moment he looked at Dong Hou.
"Dong Hou."
Dong Hou hadn't thought about it and stepped forward.
"Immediately, let's go to each county and village. I'll give you a month to arrest twenty elderly people, ten rich households and ten poor households without land, and each village is half. We'll vote in Anyi County!"
"We should avoid intercourse with each other and avoid wealthy families threatening poor families. At the same time, we should explain it to each county and village clearly, so as not to cause misunderstandings and panic, and tell them that we need all the people of Hedong County to decide the future of Hedong County."
Dong Hou clasped his fists solemnly.
"promise!"
Dong Hu stood in front of more than ten old men with a cold face.
"snort!"
"You are famous families in Hedong County. Today we will see if you really represent the will of hundreds of thousands of people in Hedong County. If hundreds of thousands of people are really willing to pay you 50,600,700% of the rent, we can guarantee that everything will be the same!"
