After taking a shower, Xiao Ming put on his clothes under the servitude of Green Ivy and Aster.

After returning to the bedroom, he thought about the issue of reforming the land. After thinking about it all night, he became scheming in his mind and went to the governor's office very early the next day.

As soon as he arrived at the door, a middle-aged man with a long blue gown and a black square scarf hit him.

The two stood still, and the man bowed and said, "Your Highness."

Xiao Ming looked at the man. It was none other than Pang Changshi in Luluo's mouth. Xiao Ming looked at him with a fair face, dressed in a scholar, his eyes were a little dull and unconscious, just like in his memory.

A few days ago, Pang Yukun went to Dengzhou to check the accounts and just came back.

"This fief belongs to me. I can't go where I can. You are here just right. I am discussing with you if you have something to do." Xiao Ming went straight into the governor's mansion.

In my memory, Xiao Ming always spoke in this tone to Pang Yukun, and Xiao Ming followed suit.

Pang Yukun scratched his head. Xiao Ming had never been there since the establishment of the Governor's Office, although when he entered the city, he learned from the soldiers that the King of Qi captured thirty barbarian cavalry yesterday.

But with his understanding of Xiao Ming, he still felt a little incredible.

"What is your highness asking for instructions? Please tell me clearly." Pang Yukun asked behind Xiao Ming.

The structure of the Governor's Office is very simple, with only three sets of black tables and chairs, and some documents are placed on the tables and chairs.

Sitting down at the table in the middle, Xiao Ming said, "I want to discuss with you about the Salt Transport Department and the Land."

Pang Yukun was very surprised and suspected that he had heard it wrong. He asked again: "Your Highness, what did you say!"

"I ordered you to organize the fiefdom officials to set up a Salt Transport Department in Dengzhou and Laizhou to inform the six states. From today on, the government will encourage the people to open up wasteland and farmland. Anyone who reclaims land will be owned by the reclaimers and will be exempted from three years of taxes. The reclaimed land will be successively issued for generations. Those who have land will be deducted from 30% of the taxes from today." Xiao Ming said loudly.

Pang Yukun was stunned, and Xiao Ming's series of decrees completely confused him.

After coming back to his senses, he said: "There is no problem with the Salt Transportation Department and the land reclamation, but if taxes are reduced and exempted, the expenses of these six states may not be enough."

"With the Salt Transportation Department, this part of the tax should be compensated, and I 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 powerful people who encroach on the land of the people?"

Pang Yukun's head was a little unrelenting. In the past, he basically caught evidence of the King of Qi doing evil, and then went to the King of Qi's mansion to scold the King of Qi.

Then he wrote to the emperor, who was writing to blame the King of Qi. Now the King of Qi is so serious about discussing government affairs with him, he feels very strange.

However, Pang Yukun was not confused about the issue of the powerful. He said: "Your Highness, the local wealthy families are in-laws, are powerful and mixed, and have many powerful ministers in the court to protect them. If they rashly confiscate their land, there will be trouble. Your Highness, don't forget King Ning back then..."

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes. The King Ning in Pang Yukun's mouth was his second emperor's uncle. He was known as a wise king in Chang'an.

The first thing King Ning did to confiscate the land occupied by the powerful, but within three months, someone in the court impeached King Ning to rebel.

At that time, when Xiao Wenxuan first ascended the throne, he was very afraid of King Ning, who was known as the wise king, and immediately sent troops to conquer King Ning. Unfortunately, King Ning was buried in the drum and was killed by soldiers stationed in the Ning Prince's Mansion by the wealthy families. From then on, he died without evidence.

Now Pang Yukun mentions King Ning, and the implication is to let Xiao Ming not follow the footsteps of King Ning.

In the past, Xiao Ming hated Pang Yukun very much because Xiao Ming had never done good things at that time. Now when talking about government affairs with Pang Yukun, he found that this nerd was not a bad person and was quite knowledgeable.

In this era when the popularity of knowledge is low, it is rare to have a few literate people to help you. It is necessary for him to use everything and to give full play to his talents.

"I understand. Since this is the case, the land of the powerful people will not be investigated for the time being. The focus is to mobilize the people to reclaim wasteland. You have to be responsible for this area. This year, the people's corvee will be exempted from this." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it now." Pang Yukun bowed and said.

When he first arrived at the fief, he had raised these decrees, but Xiao Ming, who was against him at that time, opposed it for the sake of opposition, which also made the decrees of the six prefectures such as Qingzhou have been in chaos.

In the Governor's Office, Xiao Ming personally watched Pang Yukun write a notice and issued a political order before he left the Governor's Office.

Outside the city gate, once the government orders from the Governor's Office were posted, they immediately aroused discussions among the people.

"Is this true or false?" One hundred people were very suspicious.

"The announcement from the Governor's Office is still fake. The King of Qi has been in his fiefdom for five years, and now he finally knows how to be polite to the people."

"With such a good thing, what are you waiting for? Go home to reclaim the land, whoever cultivates it first will belong to whoever."

“…”

At this time, five fast horses ran out of the North City at the same time, and they would take the government orders to the other five states.

On the city wall, Lu Fei looked at the people outside the city and thoughtfully. This King of Qi was really different from the past.

After leaving the Governor's Office, Xiao Ming did not go back, but went to the Equipment Department.

"Your Highness." The military chief Chen Wenlong saw Xiao Ming coming and walked up to him.

With mastering the scientific crystal, Xiao Ming needs to find a place to leverage his technological advantages, which is the Equipment Department.

This Equipment Department belongs to the official business, and the craftsmen among them are also the best in Qingzhou. Xiao Ming now wants to develop and grow this Equipment Department, not just forging, but also all kinds of industrial equipment will be born here in the future. This is the function he has given to the Equipment Department.

"Chen Bingcao, from today on, this equipment will be directly under my command. You only need to obey my orders. You can ignore the orders of others." Xiao Ming pondered for a moment and said.

"Your Highness! Your Highness is in dereliction of duty, please punish him!" Chen Wenlong was shocked and said with a cold sweat on his forehead.

He thought Xiao Ming was here to pursue the lack of reserves of caltrops.

"You misunderstood. I am not here to blame you. I just don't agree with the fact that everything is inferior. I only have narrow words that are high in reading. This skill is not a strange skill in my opinion. On the contrary, I think this skill is beneficial to the work of all craftsmen." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Wenlong gave a heavy breath, "Your Highness is wise, and I think so, for example, if you have a handy tool in this farming process, it will be enough to cultivate more land."

"That's right, so this equipment department is very important. From today on, you will gather the skilled craftsmen in the city and divide them into categories according to their skills, and join the equipment department." Xiao Ming said.
