Chapter 327

When the time comes to March, the ice and snow are gradually melting, and some plants have begun to sprout, adding a touch of greenery to this black and white world.

With the coming of spring, Hengshan becomes even busier.Before finishing the resettlement of the people and captives, we must start to arrange the spring plowing.

Now that the six counties of Anzhou have been merged under the rule of Hengshan, its people have finally ushered in a stable and peaceful day after more than a year of suffering.The Hengshan Government Affairs Council dispatched a large number of officials to the grassroots in various parts of Anzhou, not only to publicize Hengshan's various policies, but also to settle the livelihood of the people.A large amount of material resources are continuously allocated, which barely guarantees the stability of Anzhou.Various farming laws and regulations were formulated and promulgated to various places to provide farming convenience for the people.

For example, the Government Council allows the lease of cattle and horses in hand to farmers for farming, which can not only improve the efficiency of farmers, but also raise horses for the government free of charge, killing two birds with one stone.Even, as long as farmers are willing to raise horses, they can apply to the government.However, in order to prevent the outflow of horses, the government will carry out strict management. Farmers are not allowed to sell horses, and the horse cubs produced must be reported to the government, and the government will purchase them uniformly.

For another example, the grain tax formulated by Hengshan is relatively low, and a tax of [-] is adopted.However, in order to limit land mergers, the incremental method was introduced, and the tax will be increased by [-]% for any land exceeding [-] mu.Lin Yifan hopes that people will not only focus on the land, and eventually perish in the wave of land annexation.On today's Xiayang Grassland, there are government-run farms and pastures all over the place, using labor-intensive labor with extremely high efficiency.The grain and grass produced occupy more than half of the granary, and all of these harvests will be collected by the government.

Recently, Hengshan is researching and formulating a land contract law, allowing businessmen to contract official land for reclamation and planting.This method is different from land annexation.The land still belonged to the government, but it was leased to private individuals, and when the agreement period expired, it returned to the government again.The reason for doing this, firstly, is mainly to develop the land as much as possible, because there is no way to develop this huge grassland with the ability of the government alone.Secondly, when a businessman seeks profit and obtains a piece of land, he will inevitably squeeze out the maximum value of the land as much as possible, so that he can meet Hengshan's food needs and pay a large amount of taxes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After two wars in Anzhou, a large amount of land was barren, and Hengshan took these unowned lands back to the government and redistributed them.After the Anzhou people settled down, they immediately threw themselves into the upsurge of land distribution, and because of this policy, the Anzhou people's recognition of Hengshan quickly increased significantly.

While spring plowing was in full swing in Hengshan, the imperial court was furious because an imperial envoy was killed in Anzhou.

Cao Ji reprimanded Hengshan for his crime of rebellion righteously in the court hall, counted Lin Yifan's seven crimes, and demanded that the court immediately issue a notice to announce his serious crimes, calling on everyone in the world to punish him.

The current imperial court is the court of Cao Ji alone, and all the ministers naturally clamored and cheered, and they all begged the emperor for an order.

Gao Yu was heartbroken, since the Northern Expedition Army in Mingzhou was completely annihilated, his only support was gone.Even Zhao Ming, who had always been against Cao Ji, was framed by Cao Ji, demoted and resigned from Beijing.In today's court hall, only Cao Ji's voice is left.It can be said that he, the emperor, has no power at all.

Facing the sound of crusade from the court, Gao Yu waved his hand in displeasure: "Let the prime minister deal with it at this time, I am tired, and retreat from the court."

"The old minister accepts the order." Cao Ji accepted the order calmly, with a smug look on his lips.

Not long after, the imperial court issued an imperial edict announcing the seven deadly crimes in Hengshan and calling on the whole world to punish them.Anyone who punishes Hengshan will be made a duke and a prince, and he will not hesitate to reward him generously.

The shadow guards under the Hengshan Investigation Department had infiltrated into the capital, and upon hearing the news, they immediately spread the information with pigeons.

Just one day later, Chen Dengke, who was in Huazhou, received the information.After reading it, he immediately understood the power of this edict.You must know that the remaining prestige of the current imperial court still exists, and the luck of the empire for 300 years is still there, holding the name of the people's righteousness.Once Hengshan is singled out as a traitor, the people of the world will definitely hate Hengshan, which will have a great impact on the future cause.What worries him even more is that the forces around Hengshan, under the heavy reward of the imperial court, are likely to take unfavorable actions against Hengshan.As a result, Hengshan was surrounded by enemies and was blocked in Anzhou.

Chen Dengke didn't dare to slack off, and immediately copied several copies of the news by special means, tied them at the feet of the pigeons in the cage, and then released them all.

After the carrier pigeons lingered in the sky for a while, they immediately flew north.Looking at the missing pigeons, Chen Dengke was still full of emotion.Since the pigeons were successfully trained not long ago, the speed of news transmission is much faster than that of Pegasus.And the speed of news, sometimes will determine the outcome of a strategy, a war.Now that Hengshan has carrier pigeons, he can grasp the news in advance, make a decision first, and stand in an invincible position.

On the third day, Lin Yifan was dealing with official business in the office when Niu Dali hurried over from outside with a carrier pigeon in his hand, "My lord, Huazhou Flying Pigeon is passing the letter."

Lin Yifan raised his head in surprise, and frowned slightly, "Wazhou, is it the information from Director Chen? What happened there?"

As he spoke, he took the carrier pigeon from Niu Dali, carefully opened the small wooden tube on top, and pulled out a small note with several lines of Arabic numerals written on it.Lin Yifan hurriedly took out a copy of "Tian Yan Lun" from the desk, and copied it down for reference.Eventually form a paragraph of text.

When Lin Yifan saw it, his expression changed immediately.Immediately raised his head and said: "Da Dali, immediately notify the heads of all departments to come here for a meeting."

Soon, all the top management of Hengshan gathered here, looking at Lin Yifan solemnly, knowing that something big must happen, otherwise they would not have gathered all the people here in such a hurry.

Sure enough, Lin Yifan handed the written information to everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone, the imperial court has now shifted its attention to our Hengshan side. What seven deadly crimes are listed now, in order to completely stigmatize us. If we let them succeed, we will lose the hearts of the people of the world, and the road ahead will be even more difficult. For the current plan, what should we do?"

After everyone saw it, their faces were gloomy. They quickly figured out the tricks of the court, and they couldn't help cursing inwardly.But now the imperial court occupies the righteousness, the emperor issued an edict, and the world will follow.Hengshan is just a separatist force occupying a corner of this world, how can it reverse the hearts of the people?

"My lord, the imperial court treated me like this in Hengshan, but it was because the imperial envoy died in Anzhou?" Han Song asked solemnly.

Lin Yifan thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "I'm afraid it has something to do with it, but we haven't found out who killed the imperial envoy and framed it on Hengshan."

"My lord, could it be the Li family?" Luo Yi stroked his short beard and pondered, "They definitely don't want us to be recognized by the imperial court. Only by making us an enemy of the imperial court can they benefit from both sides and maintain a balance."

"It's possible, but we don't have any evidence." Lin Yifan said helplessly, "However, I always feel that it cannot be the Li family's doing, because it's too obvious, and they urgently need to settle the relationship with us, and rashly offended us. It will just kill itself."

"That's the Dingxi Army?" Xue Cheng rolled his eyes, and said not confidently, "After all, they have the worst relationship with us now, and it is very likely that they did it."

"There is also this possibility. The Dingxi Army has always been very wary of us. It cannot be ruled out that they are responsible." Lin Yifan nodded and said coldly.

"However, my lord, when the imperial envoy died, the relationship between the Dingxi Army and us had not yet been broken. Is it necessary for them to do this?" Han Song frowned and questioned, "Besides, we Hengshan will be under the imperial court's order, and there will be certain In this way, the Dingxi Army does not need to deploy heavy troops to guard against us. This is actually beneficial to them."

"If it's not the Li family and the Dingxi army, then who else?" Li Huzi couldn't help muttering because he was dizzy from what everyone said.

"My lord, gentlemen, have you ever thought that this matter is likely to be done by the court itself, to be precise, it was related to Cao Ji and Cao Cheng." Guo Huaili, who was sitting on the side, spoke at this time, looking around at everyone, He looks like he has everything in his chest.

 Guess everyone, Xiazhou, Anzhou, Huazhou, and Shazhou correspond to which part of China?
