Chapter 430
Beihai, Qingzhou.
Taishi Ci took over the power of the whole county after arriving.
The first thing he did after taking office was to dismiss the original officials.
Without saying a word, he took out the court documents bought from Dong Zhuo and issued them directly.
If there was any objection, he would immediately reason with the other party until they were completely obedient.
The Tanghai soldiers who had arrived secretly before were organized and returned to the army. Although the number of troops was not large, the army armed to the teeth made the clans and the people in Beihai tremble.
Even the big families with some private slaves and weapons in the mansion did not dare to say anything extra.
The army organized by Taishi Ci like a magic trick made them panic.
Suddenly appeared in Beihai City overnight, those soldiers were holding sharp weapons and wearing heavy armor.
Such warriors made the Beihai nobles wonder what kind of army could match them.
Even the imperial guards in Luoyang could not do it, right?
Both the clans and the people in Beihai were speculating about the background of the new governor.
How could he have such elite soldiers?
It was beyond everyone's imagination.
Even the local tyrants who wanted to show off their power to the new governor were silent.
A few days later, Taishi Ci issued various decrees one after another.
Order to divide the family.
Order to take over the land.
Order to make public-private partnership of land.
With the spread of unprecedented decrees one after another, the whole Beihai exploded instantly.
The people were polarized.
The aristocratic clans were furious.
Whether it was the division of the family or the taking over of the land, it was a blow to their weak spot.
It was like beating them to death with one stick.
If the new governor had not had extremely powerful soldiers, they would have rushed to the gate of the government compound with their private slaves to ask for an explanation.
However, now they only dared to yell a few words in the mansion.
They dared not even grumble on the street.
Those soldiers wearing heavy full body armor patrolled the streets and alleys of the city in teams of ten.
If they found any unusual movement, they would be captured directly.
The clans in Beihai dared not make any rash moves.
Some people wanted to send people to Luoyang to find a backer there and report the matter to the court.
However, on the official road and the small road, they were intercepted on the spot by Tanghai soldiers who had been ambushed there.
The letter was turned out, and those who were good at imitating handwriting in the Tanghai team wrote another letter on the spot to try to collude with the Yellow Turban rebels and sent it back to Beihai.
The city was full of blood and rain.
The heads rolled on the streets, which made the wealthy families in Beihai realize that Beihai had changed!
It was no longer the time when the county governor would be ravaged by them who joined together.
Facing the extraordinary military force, they had no say at all.
As for some of the families that were killed, it was no longer important whether they had any connection with the Yellow Turbans.
The result was the most important.
The wealthy families in Beihai recalled the struggle in the court in Luoyang.
Didn't Dong Zhuo rely on absolute force to control Luoyang?
These secrets made them deeply understand a truth.
In the future, the one who has a knife in his hand and is sharp enough is the master!
All others should stand aside.
After seeing several families being completely destroyed, the others became honest in an instant.
Although it was painful to split up the family, it was much better than having a scar the size of a bowl on the neck.
At least they could still live in this world and leave some property.
The land was taken back, but fortunately they could still keep some other industries.
Although they could not live as luxuriously as before, at least they could still maintain a small surplus.
It was barely acceptable.
It was much better than the Yellow Turbans coming and robbing everything.
Finally, under Taishi Ci's accurate control, the entire Beihai City completed the first two decrees in a very fast state.
Especially with the participation of the illegitimate sons of various aristocratic families, the big families collapsed very quickly.
The work of dividing the family went very smoothly.
Even some families wanted to hide some property, but they were reported by the illegitimate sons and taken out and divided equally among the small families.
Xu Shu was sent to Beihai by Liu Yu and brought some Tanghai civil officials.
Recruited some smart young people from the local people to build a new government.
Once the news spread, the people heard that their children could actually enter the government as officials.
They couldn't close their mouths with laughter.
In addition to the various actions of the government to collect land and crack down on the rich, the people instantly supported the new government.
Taishi Ci and Xu Shu cooperated very well.
After the situation in Beihai stabilized, it quickly entered into a large-scale development operation.
First, he led the people of Beihai to open up the land, and during this period, he gave food coupons according to the results of their labor.
Guaranteed quality and quantity, more work, more pay.
In Beihai BaiThe people found that the small piece of paper in their hands could really be exchanged for an equal amount of grain from the government, and it was a sufficient amount of good grain. The people of Beihai were instantly ignited with enthusiasm.
This was something that they could never imagine before.
The government's apportionment actually gave grain?
Is this something the government can do?
I'm afraid that only the government in heaven can have such treatment?
The new government of Beihai instantly rose to an unprecedented height in the hearts of the people.
If anyone dared to say a bad thing about the new government of Beihai, the people would hold the new farm tools issued by the government and poke that person to kneel down and beg for mercy.
The land reclamation operation is ongoing.
After the Beihai government counted the actual number of households and people in the territory, including the serfs hidden in the original clans, they were all found out in this population survey.
The serfs obtained civilian status in the government's decree.
After that, the government arranged a unified residence for them, and all treatments were the same as those of the people of Beihai.
There are no more serfs in Beihai.
The government protects the living conditions of ordinary people so much that everyone has taken root in the hearts of the new government in Beihai.
Then, under the leadership of Xu Shu, land was subcontracted to households in Beihai.
The same standard as Tanghai was implemented, four acres of land per person.
Everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, had it.
In addition, the head tax was abolished in the future, and the tax burden was only collected according to the amount of land.
All other exorbitant taxes were abolished.
The people of Beihai were overjoyed.
But they were secretly sweating.
Can it really work to get rid of the tax collection regulations that the court has used for who knows how many years?
What if the court stopped it or replaced their new county governor?
All kinds of worries arose among the people.
They had just lived a good life for a few days, and it was still a day that gave them hope for the future.
They didn't want to go back to the previous state.
The brave local clans seemed to see hope.
Such a chaotic county governor would be held accountable by the court, and even Taishi Ci would be captured and taken back to Luoyang to be beheaded.
However, when these people sent their confidants to Luoyang to deliver the letter, they were intercepted again.
The crime of colluding with bandits and attempting to cause chaos in Beihai was instantly resurrected.
Several clans that had become small families were once again dragged out of the city and beheaded in public.
From then on, no one in Beihai dared to have a different intention.
