False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Li Zhao had no objection to Lin Chen's petition to implement the military household system in Liaodong.

He even praised the system in the edict sent back to him.

"Sir, this is the population register of Liaodong residents."

A petty official sent me the registration files.

Lin Chen nodded and motioned for him to put it down.

Liaodong has a lower temperature than Guannei.

Unlike modern times, the black land here can be developed on a large scale.

In this day and age, it is common for people to freeze to death in winter in Liaodong.

Therefore.

The population of Liaodong is very small. Most of them were immigrated to the border during the reign of Emperor Li and Tang, who immigrated a total of 300,000 households.

One household, a family of four.

Over the years, the number of people in Liaodong should have grown to about two million.

However.

Lin Chen only saw less than 400,000 households in the registration files!

In other words.

The population has not changed much in the past twenty years!

You must know that this also includes the family members of the border soldiers!

After all, there are still few people!

This made Lin Chen laugh, and naturally he laughed angrily.

As for these few people, Lin Chen probably knew where they were going.

Over there, old slave!

According to Lin Chen, he learned the news from the Liaodong general who was imprisoned.

In Liaodong, their generals can be described as local emperors.

Naturally, there are ways to make money.

Not only embezzling military pay, stealing and selling arms.

They even exploited the tenant farmers and received 70% of their land tax!

These bastards made countless tenant farmers who could no longer survive run to the old slaves.

Even if you want to be a slave in Lao Nu, you only need to pay 50%.

Therefore, Lin Chen felt that if he killed all these Liaodong border generals one by one, he might be unjustly accusing good people, but if he picked half of them, there would definitely be some fish that slipped through the net!

at the moment.

He needed to maintain the tenant farmers who were still in the area controlled by Li Tang.

Start with taxes.

Seventy percent of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were abolished and replaced by thirty-and-a-half percent of land tax.

You must know that Lin Chen confiscated a large number of land deeds and made them official property.

If a tenant farmer wants to rent his land, he only needs to pay 35%, and the rest is his.

As soon as this news came out, the people in Liaodong were in an uproar.

In their view.

Only 35% of the official fields were harvested. In the past, they could only appear in dreams.

After learning that the notice was true, the people of Liaodong shouted that the great master of Qingtian had finally arrived.

at the same time.

Lin Chen also had to divide the farming land for military households.

"Just put it on the front line of Xipingbao."

As a person from the future, he knows very well that once Liaodong is developed, it will be a large granary.

certainly.

The complete implementation of the military household system will not take a few days.

Lin Chen, the acting supervisor, won't last long.

Then came Li Zhao's oral instructions asking Lin Chen to arrange for someone to go to Liaodong to serve as the governor.

"Why does the emperor want to ask me?" Lin Chen was a little surprised.

He was not close to civil officials, nor did he cultivate any party members.

The only one who could be considered to have a good relationship was Lin Ruhai.

Although Lin Ruhai is talented, he is not suitable to come to Liaodong.

Because of Lin Ruhai's physical condition, she might not survive five years after coming to Liaodong.

When Sister Lin finds out that it was Lin Chen who wrote the letter, she will definitely hate him for the rest of her life.

Suddenly.

Lin Chen thought of something.

That is Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun’s hometown, Jiangzhou!

The person currently serving as the magistrate of Jiangzhou is Xin Qiji.

This great poet who left his name in history was actually both civil and military.

However, even though he was born in the Southern Song Dynasty, he could only leave his name as a poet in the history books.

What if we let him come to Liaodong?

Lin Chen's eyes brightened slightly when he thought of this person.

【

】

No problem with him.

The only thing is, he was promoted from a prefect to the governor of Liaodong, rising eight levels in a row!

He directly reached the official position of Congsanpin.

certainly.

Lin Chen just relayed the name of Jiangzhou Zhizhou Xin Qiji to Li Zhao.

It’s up to her whether to use it or not.

If the emperor wants to use it, jump promotion is not a problem.

Just like Lin Chen.

From a white body, he sat directly as the commander of fifty percent of the army and horses, and then to the fourth rank of general.

"Xin Qiji?!"

Sure enough, Li Zhao had a look of surprise on his face after seeing the person recommended by Lin Chen.

As an emperor who has many things to do, he naturally does not know the name of a small governor.

I asked Shangguan Wan'er to get the files of the Ministry of Personnel, and then I found Xin Qiji.

According to the records.

This Xin Qiji was born in the imperial examination during the late emperor's reign, and first studied in the Hanlin Academy.

After staying for less than two years, he was sent out to serve as county magistrate.

Go round and round.

Xin Qiji had just been promoted to magistrate.

During this period, he spent almost fifteen years.

From the inspection of the Ministry of Personnel, it seems that this person is an honest official.

Everywhere he worked, he encouraged farmers to thrive and built water conservancy projects.

Even more puzzling.

Most of the places where this person worked reported his achievements in suppressing bandits.

The most eye-catching one was when he served as the magistrate of a county in the southwest, where he used 500 native soldiers to quell the rebellion of thousands of chieftains.

Therefore.

Xin Qiji was promoted to Jiangzhou and served as magistrate.

Moreover, although he took office in Jiangzhou for less than two years, he has already achieved remarkable results in governance.

At least all the thieves and bandits in Jiangzhou have disappeared.

The worst thing was the murder of traders in the illegal shops where meat was sold. Xin Qiji beheaded the shop owner, his wife, and all the clerks in the downtown area as a warning.

For a while.

The atmosphere in Jiangzhou is clean!

"It seems that this person is indeed capable." Li Zhao had a thoughtful look on his face.

Since Lin Chen recommends him, he will be summoned to the capital to have a detailed talk with the emperor.

Lin Chen probably doesn’t know yet.

In the original book Water Margin, many of the "heroes" in Jiangzhou were killed by Xin Qiji.

Brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun were so frightened that they ran outside to look for opportunities to make a fortune.

At this time, Jiangzhou government office.

A servant who was not too tall and had a shrewd look in his eyes hurried forward to report:

"Lord Zhizhou!"

"Dai Zong?"

In the lobby, the middle-aged scribe who was sitting upright looked up at him.

Just look at the figure of this middle-aged scribe, who is not burly and has a cocoon in his mouth. He is not as helpless as a traditional literati.

This person is Xin Qiji!

"An imperial edict has arrived!"

"Imperial decree?"

A strange color flashed in Xin Qiji's eyes.

For him, these two words were too unfamiliar, but he didn't get too entangled and quickly browsed after the process.

Soon, Xin Qiji knew the contents of the imperial edict.

That's right, let him enter Beijing.

"Zhizhou, have you been promoted?" Dai Zong said with admiration.

It can be seen from his attitude that Xin Qiji was really popular in Jiangzhou, both among the people and the officials.

Xin Qiji heard this, but waved his hand disapprovingly.

If he could really be promoted, he wouldn't be wasting his time until now.

"If a certain family is really promoted, I will certainly not forget to support you." Xin Qiji joked.

In Jiangzhou, he gathered many capable people.

For example, Dai Zong, nicknamed Shenxing Taibao, was said to be able to travel eight hundred miles in a day.

There are also some warriors who serve, and they are all good fighting men.

Xin Qiji had no prejudice against martial artists.

Because he is also a martial artist himself.
