Chapter 72 The Gospel of the People: The Yanmen Family's Reaction
"Hongwei, are you planning to serve in my Yanmen?"
After dealing with Xun Yu, Yang Fan immediately asked Guo Jia.
"The general's farming is a masterpiece. He originally planned to recommend this strategy to the general. Now it seems that the general's idea is long before us, and I really admire him. This time I came here just to find an errand under the general's command. Wan Wang General took it in."
Zao Chuan has a straightforward personality and says whatever he says. He thought that he would walk in front of the Han counties, but he didn't expect that Yang Fan had been using it for two months and said to him.
"Jia is also coming here to find something under Yang Zhenbei's command. I wonder if Yang Zhenbei can give her a position."
Guo Jia is more direct and needs a position when he speaks.
"You two are willing to become an official in Yanmen. It is really a blessing for the people of Yanmen. How could Fan refuse? This is what Zao is just for the Sima of the military farm. You will first go to the military farm camp to lead a school of troops and get promoted after you have achieved success. Guo Jia offered wine as a military advisor. He discussed and studied military affairs with Fan in his spare time, and accompanied the army to attend military aircraft during wartime. What do you think?"
Yang Fan and Xi Zhong looked at each other and said to the two.
"Thank you, General!"
Both of them had no objection, thank you now.
"Lord, if Wen Ruo is the county magistrate, how should Hao Zhou be placed?"
At this time, Xi Zhong said, "The meaning is that you should not be fucked by the new and old."
"I am a Yanmen day by day, how can a county magistrate be enough? Both of them are county magistrates. Fan plans to build the roads in our Yanmen County, so Kong Yi is responsible for this matter; Wen Ruo is responsible for people's livelihood. You can sort out the agenda later, draft it into a document, and send it."
Yang Fan had long thought of this, Hao Zhou was in charge of transportation and Xun Yu was in charge of people's livelihood, and then he said to Xi Zhong.
"That's fine."
Seeing that Yang Fan had a plan, Xi Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. However, for Guo Jia's appointment, Xi Zhong couldn't help laughing, and thought that Yang Fan was indeed keen and must have seen Guo Jia's temperament, so he was given such a free job.
After the matter was negotiated, everyone naturally drank and talked about the past and the present.
The next day, Xun Yu went to Yinguan to serve as the county magistrate. When he saw that the refugees near Yinguan had only temporary residences, he immediately transferred soldiers from the Three Schools Military Field Camp to Ma Chuang and asked them to build a village every 40 miles, with a village chief in each village with a hundred households to accommodate refugees. Then, according to the number of people in each household, one person was given two acres of land, and each tax was paid 100 to four cents per year. Three days later, the hundreds of miles of Yinguan were newly built villages, and the 200,000 acres of newly reclaimed land in the military field camp were distributed.
For a time, the people of Yanmen were grateful to Yang Fan, and some people even set up a tablet of immortality for Yang Fan to ensure his safety. Everyone in Yinguan County smiled happily, and Yang Fan's status in Yanmen unknowingly rose to a new height.
It was really joyful and sad. Yang Fan's move immediately forced some people into a desperate situation.
There is a clan in Yinguan, surnamed Ma. His ancestors once became the prefect. They have been rooted in Yinguan for more than a hundred years, have thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of servants. Their children have always been in the magistrate of Yinguan County.
On this day, in the county magistrate's mansion, Ma Tao, the magistrate of Yinguan County, asked to see Yang Fan.
"What's the matter with Ma County Ma?"
Yang Fan sat high in the first seat, looked at Ma Tao, who was sitting upright in the lower head and said with a smile.
"Sir, my Ma family has offended you from you. I hope you will inform you that the officials will be relieved of the past."
Ma Tao looked ugly and said with a fist at Yang Fan.
"What is Magistrate Ma's words? Where does this matter start?"
Yang Fan pretended to be confused while he understood and made an idea. If you don’t say it first, I will definitely not say it.
"My Ma family has always been law-abiding. Every year, they resist the invasion of Xianbei, and they have killed and injured many tribes. They have no credit and worked hard. The adults open land to divide the land. The tenant farmers have their own land. Who will come to cultivate the land of my Ma family? If this continues, will it be a severance of the future of my Ma family? If the adults need food, grass and money, just tell me, my Ma family will definitely do it, and I will ask the adults to take it back and make a life."
Ma Tao suddenly knelt down to Yang Fan and said with emotion.
"Ma County Ma, please... get up and talk about it."
Yang Fan then smiled bitterly, if he was powerful, Ma Tao would dare to speak like this?
"Mr. Ma County Ma, this official opened land and divided land to benefit the people, so that they could have fields to cultivate, food to eat, and dreams to imagine. How could it be a good thing to come to you?" Yang Fan said this to challenge the bottom line of the Ma family. "Besides, if you can hire someone to plant your Ma family, why did you cut off your Ma family's road?"
"Sir, you..." Ma Tao really didn't expect Yang Fan to pretend to be stupid. After thinking for a while, he said: "My Ma family is willing to donate 5,000 stones of food and grass, 300 war horses and 6,000 gold to the Zhenbei Army to provide military use. I hope the adults will take back their lives."
"I have made up my mind about this matter, so don't say much. County Ma should go back."
Seeing that Ma Tao used sugar-coated shells directly, Yang Fan's face changed. Then he got up and turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, and directly issued an order to expel the guest.
"Since the master is busy with business, I will come to see you again next day."
Yang Fan was so disrespectful that a cold light flashed in Ma Tao's eyes, and then he said dismissal.
"Zhicai, the Ma family is really unhappy. What should we plan in the future?"
After Ma Tao left, Yang Fan spoke to Xi Zhong who was walking out from behind the screen.
"The Ma family has been rooted in the Yinguan for a long time and has become a huge monster. The lord should not be so tough, but it still needs to be done slowly."
After hearing this, Xi Zhong smiled bitterly.
"Where did the Yellow Turban Rebellion start? Could it be that these aristocratic families are taking advantage of their robbery, those corrupt officials are corrupt and abused the law, and the two are in harmony. How could the people rebel when they are desperate? Look at what Ma Tao said just now, what does it mean? Hum!"
Speaking of these aristocratic families, Yang Fan was angry and said angrily.
"Why should the lord be worried about this dying person?"
Xi Zhong had long wanted to get rid of this cancer of the aristocratic family. Now that he knew Yang Fan's attitude, Xi Zhong had an idea.
"Why did Zhicai say that?"
Yang Fan had already heard the meaning of Xi Zhong's words and asked immediately.
"Ma Tao has been in the Yinguan County Magistrate for more than ten years, and there is no corruption or abuse of power among them? As long as we collect evidence of his crime and report it to the governor's office, we will definitely be able to give up his position. At that time, the lord will operate and appoint one of our people to serve as the Yinguan County Magistrate, and the matter will naturally be solved."
The Yanmen officialdom has always been dark, which can be seen from the money of filial piety in each county after Yang Fan took office as prefect, and Xi Zhong certainly wanted to eradicate these cancers, he said now.
Yang Fan and Xi Zhong planned the Ma family here, and Ma Tao returned home and summoned his clan members to discuss the matter.
"Taoer, is he Yang Fan really saying that?"
In the Ma family's study room, several main characters of the Ma family sat together. One of the old men asked slowly after listening to Ma Tao's story.
"Yes, my father."
Facing the old man, Ma Tao was very respectful and bowed quickly.
"Haha, since he Yang Fan wants to play, then I will play with him."
The old man is Ma Chan, the contemporary head of the Ma family. At this time, he looked gloomy, as if he was planning something in his heart.
"Go and call Chuang'er."
After a long time, Ma Chanchao and Ma Tao ordered.
"Brother Chuang? At this time, he is the head of the military farm camp under Yang Fan. He has 100,000 people in charge, so how could he come back?"
Ma Tao was stunned after hearing this, and then smiled bitterly.
It turns out that Ma Chuang is actually a child of the Ma family. If Yang Fan knew about this, he would not know what he should think about.
"Hmph, you take the head of the family to call him."
Ma Chan also did not expect that the most incompetent children in the family in the past are now the existence they look forward to.
"Father is going to attack Yang Fan?"
Seeing that Ma Chan was determined, Ma Tao asked in a low voice uneasy.
"He Yang Fan doesn't give me a way to live in the Ma family. Will I still care about his life and death?" Ma Chan's face was gloomy and then said softly: "He Yang Fan was the prefect of Yanmen and openly accepted bribes. At this time, he did not report and sent troops to attack the Xianbei. Such a big mistake will make him die without a place of burial. Tao'er, please sort out Yang Fan's evidence of his crimes, and then report to the Zhongchang Shi Gong, remember to send some money."
"Father is so smart, so I'll do it now."
Ma Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he smiled sinisterly.
