Chapter 9: reform

　　 After taking a bath, Xiao Ming put on clothes under the wait of Luluo and Zixuan.
　　 went back to the sleeping hall and pondered over the issue of land reform. After thinking about it all night, he had cares in his heart and went to the Dudu's Mansion very early the next day.
　　 As soon as he arrived at the door, a middle-aged man in a cyan gown with a black scarf on his head ran into him full of arms.
　　 The two stood still, the man bowed and said, "Your Highness."
　　 Xiao Ming looked at the person, not someone else, it was the Pang Changshi that Luluo said. Xiao Ming looked at him, his face was pale, dressed as a scholar, and his eyes were a bit sluggish, just as he remembered.
　　 A few days ago, Pang Yukun went to Dengzhou to check his accounts. He just came back.
　　 "This fief belongs to this king, and this king can't go anywhere. You came just right, and this king is discussing with you." Xiao Ming went straight into the Dudu's Mansion.
　　 In my memory, Xiao Ming had always said this to Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming had to learn everything.
　　 Pang Yukun scratched his head. Xiao Ming had never been here since the establishment of the Dudu Mansion, even though he learned from the soldiers when he entered the city that King Qi had captured 30 barbarian cavalry yesterday.
　　 But with his understanding of Xiao Ming, it still feels a little weird.
　　 "If you have any instructions, please let your highness speak clearly." Pang Yukun asked after Xiao Ming.
　　 The internal structure of the Dudu’s Mansion is very simple, with only three sets of black tables and chairs on which some documents are placed.
　　 Sitting down at the table in the middle, Xiao Ming said, "This king wants to discuss with you about the Salt Transport Division and the land."
　　 Pang Yukun was surprised at this time, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, he asked again: "His Royal Highness, what are you talking about!"
"This king orders you to immediately organize fief officials in Dengzhou and Laizhou to set up a salt transportation department, and announce the six states. From today on, the government encourages the people to open up wasteland and reclaim land. Anyone who reclaims land will belong to the reclaimer and be exempt from taxes for three years. The land that has been released has been successive generations, and those who have land will deduct 30% of the tax from today." Xiao Ming said loudly.
　　 Pang Yukun was stunned, Xiao Ming's series of government orders made him completely stunned.
　　 After regaining his senses, he said: "There is no problem with the salt transportation department and the land reclamation, but if the tax is reduced or exempted, the expenditures of these six states will probably not make ends meet."
　　 "With the Salt Transportation Division, it should be possible to make up for this part of the tax, and the king will find other ways to increase the government's income." Xiao Ming made up his mind.
　　 Then he said: "What do you think should be the tyranny who invaded the people's land?"
　　 Pang Yukun's head couldn't turn around a bit. In the past, he basically caught evidence that King Qi was doing evil, and then went to the Prince Qi Mansion to scold King Qi.
　　 Then he wrote to the emperor. The emperor was writing to criticize King Qi. Now that King Qi is so sternly discussing government affairs with him, he feels very strange.
However, Pang Yukun was not confused about the issue of tyranny. He said: "His Royal Highness, the local tycoons are in-laws with each other. They are powerful and intertwined, and they are sheltered by many powerful ministers in the DPRK. If they rush to seize their land, I am afraid that there will be trouble, Your Highness. Don’t forget the Ning King back then..."
　　 Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, and the King Ning in Pang Yukun's mouth was his second emperor uncle, who was known as a virtuous king in Chang'an.
　　 The thirteen-year-old feudal fief, the first thing King Ning did was to seize the land occupied by the powerful, but within three months, someone in the DPRK impeached King Ning for rebellion.
At that time Xiao Wenxuan first ascended to the throne, and he was very jealous of King Ning, who is known as a virtuous king. He immediately sent troops to conquer King Ning. However, King Ning was buried in the drum, and he was killed by a sergeant placed in the palace of Ning. .
　　 Now that Pang Yukun mentioned King Ning, the implication was that Xiao Ming should not follow in the footsteps of King Ning.
　　 Xiao Ming used to hate this Pang Yukun. That was because Xiao Ming hadn't done a good deed at that time. Now when he talks about government affairs with Pang Yukun, he found that this nerd is not a bad person, and he is quite knowledgeable.
　　In this era of low knowledge penetration, it is really rare to have a few literate people to assist him. He needs to make the best use of what he needs and make the best use of his talents.
　　 "I understand. In this case, the land of the powerful people will not be held accountable for the time being. The key point is to mobilize the people to reclaim wasteland. You have to be responsible for this area. This year, the people's military service will also be exempted," Xiao Ming said.
　　 "Yes, Your Highness, I will do it right now." Pang Yukun said with a bow.
　　When he first arrived at the fief, he hadn't raised these decree, but Xiao Ming, who was against him at the time, opposed it for the sake of opposition. This also made the decree of Qingzhou and other six states have been chaotic.
　　 In the Dudu's Mansion, Xiao Ming personally watched Pang Yukun write a notice and issued a government order before he left the Dudu's Mansion.
　　 Outside the city gate, as soon as the decree of the governor's office was posted, it immediately aroused the people's discussion.
　　 "Is this true or not?" Bai Xing was very suspicious.
　　 "The notice of the Dudu's Mansion can still be false. The king of Qi has been in the fief for five years, and now he finally knows that he is sympathetic to the people."
　　 "If there is such a good thing, what are everyone waiting for? Go home and reclaim the land. Whoever reclaims first will do it."
　　 "……"
　　At this moment, five fast horses rushed out of the North City at the same time, and they will take the decree to the other five states.
　　 On the wall, Lu Fei looked at the people outside the city thoughtfully. This King of Qi was really different from the past.
　　 Leaving the Dudu Mansion, Xiao Ming did not go back, but went to the Department of Equipment.
　　 "His Royal Highness." Bingcao Chen Wenlong saw Xiao Ming approaching and stepped forward.
　　 Controlling the technology spar, Xiao Ming needs to find a place where he can give full play to his technological advantages. This place is the Equipment Department.
This equipment department belongs to the government, and the craftsmen among them are also the best in Qingzhou. Xiao Ming now wants to develop this equipment department, not just forging, but all kinds of industrial equipment will be born here. This is the function he assigned to the equipment department. .
　　 "Chen Bingcao, from today onwards, this weapon will be directly under the king. You only need to obey the king's orders. You can ignore other people's orders." Xiao Ming said in a deep breath.
　　 "Your Majesty! Your majesty neglected his duty, please punish your Highness!" Chen Wenlong was shocked and said with a cold sweat on his forehead.
　　 He thought that Xiao Ming was here to pursue the insufficient reserves of Tribulus terrestris.
"You are misunderstood, this king did not come to blame you, but this king does not recognize that everything is inferior, only the narrow language of reading high, this craftsmanship in the king's eyes is not a strange skill, on the contrary, the king thinks this craftsmanship It is beneficial to all workers' work," Xiao Ming said.
　　 Chen Wenlong heaved a sigh of relief, "His Royal Highness is wise, and the minister also thinks that, for example, this farming, if you have handy tools, it is enough to cultivate more land."
　　 "Yes, so this equipment department is very important. Starting today, you will gather the skilled craftsmen in the city, divide them into categories according to their skills, and enter the equipment department." Xiao Ming said.
　　 "That's okay, but your Highness, the craftsmen of this equipment department also need to eat, this..." Chen Wenlong said, embarrassed.
