Chu Huan has been in a good mood these days, just because good news has been heard continuously.

The first good news was passed from the Ministry of Justice. The case of Gongsun Chu was a final conclusion. In order to eliminate dissidents, Dongfang Xin and his group were deliberately trying to accuse Gongsun Chu and other officials. The truth of the case was revealed, and the treason of Gongsun Chu and others was also rehabilitated.

For Chu Huan, this is of course good news.

To be honest, it is definitely not easy to manage the four prefectures of Xiguan. Although Chu Huan can decide the general direction, the specific implementation still requires some experienced and experienced officials.

Officials such as Gongsun Chu were all old officials in Xiguan. They knew the situation in Xiguan very well and were familiar with the implementation of policies. They were just because they had been guilty of committing crimes before, so Chu Huan couldn't just pull out the man to do the job. Now that the Ministry of Justice has come down to approve the documents, Chu Huan naturally made a quick decision and immediately issued a notice to rehabilitate Gongsun Chu and others.

Gongsun Chu never thought that he would be able to come out of the cell alive one day, Chu Huan rescued them from the execution ground, and in order to prevent anyone from secretly harming them, they were kept in the Imperial Guard camp. Even if two hundred Imperial Guards were later mobilized and left, Chu Huan still gave them enough safety guarantees.

The Ministry of Justice issued a document, and Chu Huan sent the document to Gongsun Chu. Along with the document, there was also a Governor's approval document for the reinstatement of the official position.

Dong Shizhen, the governor of Yuezhou, is dead, and one of the governors has been vacant. Gongsun Chu was originally the governor of Yuezhou, but now he is reinstated, but his mood is very different.

Not only Gongsun Chu, but other officials who were implicated before, also regained their posts under the utterance of the Governor. This not only made Gongsun Chu, the officials, feel grateful, but also made the people of Shuoquan happy.

When Gongsun Chu was in office, he worked diligently and had a good reputation in Yuezhou. However, he was imprisoned. The people were muttering in their hearts. The truth was revealed this time, and people couldn't help but feel that Gongsun Chu could survive from death, Chu Huan made great contributions, and Chu Huan was able to continue to appoint Gongsun Chu, which also showed that Chu Huan was a good official.

The two most important matters in Xiguan are naturally training troops. Although the Jin and He prefectures were pacified in a short period of time, Chu Huan also knew the shortcomings of the Western Army.

The composition of the Pingxi Army was quite complicated and could not be seen normally. When attacking Hezhou, Chu Huan had already seen serious disarray in the internal cooperation of the Pingxi Army. Once adversity occurs, it will be difficult for the soldiers and generals to maintain unified combat effectiveness. This is almost a fatal weakness for a legion.

After Chu Huan returned to Shuoquan, the Beishan Army immediately retreated from the border, and Xuanyuan Shengcai rushed back to Shuoquan after deploying the troops in Jiazhou.

Xuanyuan Shengcai was also aware of the shortcomings of Pingxi Army. He knew that Pei Ji was very good at training troops, so he went to visit Pei Ji so that Pingxi Army could be fully integrated into a powerful combat force as soon as possible.

Pei Ji's Governor-General Guards were trained day and night, and the Fourth Battalion of Fenglin and Volcano had basically taken shape in a short period of time. According to Pei Ji's plan, the four battalions were divided into two ways. One was single battalion training, each battalion strictly trained its own duties, and the other training method was to set a fixed time to let the four battalions combine and train the cooperation of the four battalions.

The military training is left to Pei Ji and Xuanyuan Shengcai, so Chu Huanhua doesn't need to spend too much effort.

In addition to training troops, another major event in Xiguan is naturally the Equal Field Ce.

The promulgation of the Juntian Sect certainly made many farmers who had no land to cultivate at the beginning, but many people doubted that since ancient times, they have only heard that the gentry of the government tried every means to exploit the land from the people. But they really haven't heard that the government would divide the land for the people. Therefore, many people only thought that this was the trick of the government, and the purpose was to let the refugees who were wandering abroad return to their hometowns and continue to be exploited by the government.

Because of suspicion, there were not many people returning from outside to their hometown at the beginning. The current form of Xiguan is that a large number of refugees are wandering outside, and large areas of barren fields are uncultivated.

When Wei Wuji presented Juntian Ce to Chu Huan, he explained two conditions that Juntian Ce must meet. One is a large number of barren fields, and the other is a population that can match the fields. Now, the population of Xiguan is largely lost. If refugees cannot return, Juntian Ce will lose its service greatly.

Chu Huan also knew that many refugees were still watching. Seeing that autumn was about to begin, the equal fields must be fully implemented before spring plowing tomorrow. Once the spring plowing, the equal fields plan has not been fully implemented and the people have not yet obtained their own fields. Then if they have wasted a year, for the northwest, which is already short of food, a year will inevitably die of many people due to shortage of food.

The time was not enough. Although Wei Wuji led people to measure the fields day and night and count the population, the progress was not fast. After Gongsun Chu came out, he learned about the specific affairs of Juntian Ce. He immediately suggested to Chu Huan that he did not need to wait until all the fields were completely tested before dividing the fields. He could first start to implement equal fields in several villages and towns near Shuoquan. The purpose was to make all the people clear that the equal fields mentioned by the government was not a bluff.

To this end, Gongsun Chu personally selected several villages and towns, personally counted the local population and the acres of land, and then according to the equalization plan proposed by Wei Wuji, he took the lead in awarding land to the people of these villages and towns. While each of the people assigned to the fields, he also obtained the land deed signed by the Ministry of Revenue Department.

The land deed says very clearly that the land divided by the people will still be in the hands of the government within fifteen years. If no special situation occurs during this period, but the fields are discarded and left to be deserted, the government will have the right to take back the fields at any time. However, as long as the land can be cultivated for fifteen years, the ownership of the fields will automatically belong to the people.

It also states that after the people obtain ownership of the land, the fields can be passed down from generation to generation, and no one has the right to take away the land. However, it is also clear that private land exchange and transactions are prohibited, and only the times are allowed to cultivate. Once private land is sold, the government can not only take back the fields, but also bear the blame for both the buyer and the seller.

In fact, many people can understand that the main purpose of Juntian Ce is to nail the people to the fields and let them live steadily in arable land for generations and cannot buy and sell private land. In fact, it cannot be called complete privatization.

However, for the people, it is already an extraordinary life to have a piece of their own field to cultivate in the era, and to make it work and set at sunrise. This is the life that the people yearn for. For farmers, land is a treasure, and few people will want to sell the fields they rely on for their living. The content of the equal-field order is enough to make them excited.

Almost while several villages and towns were divided into fields, the second order from the government had been issued. This is a supplementary content of Wei Wuji's plan to share the fields, including households and inter-regulation.

Before this, many gentry families could avoid corvee labor. As Wei Wuji once said, after the founding of Qin, a series of policies were issued. Many gentry and wealthy families had the privilege of exempting taxes. These families enjoyed the greatest resources. Not only were they exempted from taxes, but they even had no need to bear corvee labor. Instead, the people with extremely heavy taxes were responsible for heavy corvee labor.

When Xiguan is rebuilt, corvee labor in recent years is naturally indispensable. When building embankments and roads, digging canals and ditches, the people must bear a lot of corvee labor.

To this end, while comparing the land, Wei Wuji specially proposed a strategy of stalling households and inter-tuition adjustment. In Xiguan, both ordinary poor people and gentry and wealthy families, they will bear the same corve labor and treat them equally. However, on this basis, they proposed the means of mutual adjustment of taxes. If the gentry and tyrants cannot lose face and are reluctant to participate in labor like ordinary people, they can use taxes to offset their own corve labor. Similarly, if the poor people want to improve their family life, they can increase paid corve labor in addition to the corve labor they should bear.

After these laws were promulgated, the people cheered. The refugees who were wandering abroad knew that someone had already divided the fields. Without hesitation, they returned to their hometowns one after another. In just a short time, a large number of refugees in Xiguan took their families and returned to their hometowns. This was a huge migration. Only then did Xuanyuan Sheng mobilize his troops to guard the checkpoints and conduct strict inspections.

For Chu Huan, this is of course a good news. He even received news that some bandits who became bandits had abandoned their weapons after they were promulgated and registered with the Ministry of Revenue. As Wei Wuji had expected at the time, many bandits who became bandits were forced to live, and now the government has implemented a new policy. These people think that there is land to plant, and where do they want to live a life of blood licking on the edge of the knife?

Chu Huan's original intention of implementing the equalization of the field plan was to restore the vitality of Xiguan and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Of course, Chu Huan was happy to see that those bandits could abandon their support for the people.

The reform of equal land in Xiguan was booming and the people were in full swing. However, this incident hurt the interests of the gentry of Xiguan. Chu Huan knew that the gentry of Xiguan was headed by the seven surnames of Xiguan, and had to have more contact with the seven surnames of Xiguan. However, Old Master Su could understand that if Xiguan had been stagnant, the seven surnames of Xiguan would not be able to restore their former glory. Only when the entire Xiguan became prosperous and developed, the gentry of Xiguan could restore its former glory. Although the gentry was somewhat dissatisfied with the policies implemented by Chu Huan, fortunately, Chu Huan implemented the gentry of equal land this time mainly to take it back to the deserted fields and the unowned fields belonging to the government. Although it also caused a certain blow to the tenant's land acquisition to the seven surnames of Xiguan, the gentry was also very clear that the purpose of Chu Huan's implementation of the new policy was not to deal with local gentry, but to inspire the enthusiasm of the people of Xiguan for farming.

Xiao Huanzhang of Beishan did not break his promise when it comes to farming tools. When Xiguan refugees returned home in a row, many farming tools transported from Beishan also came continuously. What made Chu Huan even more happy was that a large number of farming tools were transported from Xishan Road and Anyi Road in the pass.

Xiguan implemented the new policy of equalizing fields, and such news has naturally spread to the pass. Xishan Governor Qiao Mingtang and Anyi Governor Yuan Chongshang all had some connections with Chu Huan and could not help, but he was very fond of transporting some farming tools to support him.
