In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth month of the fifth year of Zhongping. After settling most of the military affairs, Zhao Xin slowly started to deal with the city's government affairs. The first thing he did was to reduce the taxes of the common people. He reduced the taxes of the Han Dynasty. Some unreasonable taxes were directly exempted. He encouraged merchants to do business and reduced business taxes. The land that was reclaimed did not have to pay taxes for the first five years. All they needed to do was sell the surplus grain to the government at the market price. This would greatly increase Runan's grain production. Because Runan's population was relatively small, it encouraged childbirth. Those who had three sons or more would be rewarded with money and food. They would try their best to attract refugees and lend them food. As long as the refugees opened up wasteland in Runan and provided farm tools and grain seeds, they could repay them with the grain they collected in the next year. Great efforts were made to build houses to provide for the people of Runan and the refugees. wantonly smelting iron for military and agricultural purposes, and building water conservancy projects. Open free schools in the city and encourage schools. The common people can serve in place of taxes.
When Xun saw these measures proposed by Zhao Xin, he was simply stunned. When Xun first arrived in Runan, Zhao Xin had thrown Runan's government affairs to Xun, so Xun thought that this lord was not good at government affairs. Who would have thought that Zhao Xin was also so proficient in government affairs.
Seeing Xun's blank expression, Xin Zhao secretly laughed. He thought that with thousands of years of common sense, it would be a piece of cake for him to settle this. Moreover, he had only made a general statement. Xun would have to do the details.
In addition, Zhao Xin also opened a recruitment hall in Runan. Anyone who had a skill, regardless of their background, would be hired. Zhao Xin also told Xun Yi that the army would be stationed, and the city could also be stationed. This way, Runan would be self-sufficient in food and grass after a year.
By the time Zhao Xin finished dealing with all of this, it was already the beginning of the sixth year of Zhongping. Zhao Xin handed over the military affairs to Guo Jia and Taishi Ci, and handed over the government affairs to Xun. He took Dian Wei, a hundred bodyguards, and a large amount of money to visit the sages. Zhao Xin thought to himself that he was in urgent need of talents in all aspects. Currently, he only had Dian Wei and Taishi Ci as generals. Both of them were only capable of charging into battle. As for the other strategists and civil officials, they were still lacking. Some of them knew where these talents were, but they didn't have the time to visit them. They sent people to invite them directly, thinking that Zhao Yun must be in their pocket. At this time, Zhao Yun should still be in Zhending of Chang Mountain, so the general direction was to go to Chang Mountain.
Every time Zhao Xin went to a place, he would send someone to inquire about the talents there. When he arrived at Qiao County today, he wondered if Xu Chu, the fierce general, was here. He sent someone to inquire, but there was no result. He was frustrated and was about to leave for the north. When he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he was really an idiot. Xu Chu was definitely not famous yet, but it should not be difficult to find Xu Chu. He just needed to find out where the Xu family was nearby. Immediately return to the city and send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the Xu clan. Not long after, they reported that they had found the Xu clan and immediately brought people over.
It turned out that the Xu family lived in Xu Village. Most of the people in the village were descendants of the Xu family. They found out where Xu Chu lived, but when they arrived at Xu Chu's house, Xu Chu was not there. He had gone hunting with his brothers in the family. In the evening, Xu Chu returned from hunting. At this time, Zhao Xin wanted Xu Chu to follow him and make contributions. Xu Chu immediately agreed. It turned out that Xu Chu was only in his twenties at this time. Who knew that Xu Chu was such a scoundrel? When he heard that Zhao Xin, the governor of Runan, had personally come to visit him, he immediately came out of the mountain. He arranged for Xu Chu's family and the families of some of the Xu descendants who were willing to follow Zhao Xin to go to Runan. He wrote a letter to Xun Haosheng to settle them down and set off with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and the others. There were more than ten disciples of the Xu family who followed Zhao Xin, and all of them had decent martial arts skills. Among them, Xu Tong and Xu Gan were the most outstanding. Along the way, Dian Wei was very happy. He kept pulling the Xu family's disciples to spar with him. At this time, Xu Chu was not a match for Dian Wei, so if one failed, he would fight two, three, or even four. Xu Tong and Xu Gan could fight Dian Wei together, and Xu Chu could fight fifty rounds with Dian Wei alone. Along the way, his martial arts skills had improved greatly.
On the way, he sent people to Yangping and Wei to summon Le Jin, sent people to Xiliang to look for Pang De, and then turned to Jizhou. Zhao Xin wanted to recruit Zhang.
At this time, Zhang served as a military commander under Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and was still unknown. Xin Zhao thought that if he went to recruit Zhang, he might not follow him, so he went with the intention of trying.
In the evening, he brought many gifts to the Zhang family. At this time, Zhang had already returned. When he heard that Runan Prefecture Governor Zhao Xin had come to pay his respects, he was a little baffled. He thought to himself that he had never known this Zhao Xin and did not know what this person was here for.
Xin Zhao led his men in, and Zhang Yi had already come out to welcome him. He said,"I am Zhao Xin and Zhao Zicheng from Linyi. Greetings, Jun--" "
Zhang hurriedly returned the greeting and said,"Greetings, Lord Zhao. I didn't know you had come from afar. Sorry for not welcoming you." "
Xin Zhao laughed and said,"Jun, no need to be so polite. Zhao Xin came abruptly. I hope Jun doesn't take offense!" "
Zhao Xin asked his men to hand over the gifts and silks to Zhang Fu's servants, then brought Zhang to the hall to take a seat.
Zhang Yi sized up Zhao Xin and Dian Wei and the others behind him. He couldn't help but be shocked. He thought that Zhao Xin was not a simple person. The people behind him were all fierce and ruthless people.
Zhao Xin was also sizing up Zhang Yi, thinking that this person was so capable in the Three Kingdoms that Zhuge Liang was afraid of him, so he would do anything to make him work for him.
Zhang opened his mouth and said,"You have come from Runan. I wonder what you are here for?" "
Zhao Xin smiled and said,"I'm so arrogant. I want to use all the talents in the world." "
Zhang thought to himself," He's trying to recruit me. Should I go or not? I can't be put in an important position under Han Fu. Besides, Han Fu isn't someone who can achieve great things. There's no way out for me if I follow him."
"I heard that you defeated the Yellow Turban in Runan," said Zhang."You are a hero. How can you be so arrogant?" "
Zhao Xin, you're a proud person, so how could you take the Yellow Turban bandits to heart?
He couldn't help but sigh,"Although the Yellow Turban soldiers are numerous, they are not powerful enough. This handsome man knows very well. What's there to talk about?" "
"You're too modest," said Zhang. "
"I have come to ask you to follow me to Runan," said Zhao Xin. "
"Governor Han treats me very well," said Zhang."How dare I abandon him?" "
Zhao Xin replied,"Han Fu is not wise enough to recognize people. He is so talented, but he cannot be appointed. How can he be so kind to you?" "
After a pause, he said,"Moreover, Han Fu occupied Jizhou, a place with abundant money and food, but did not think of making progress. He was mediocre and did not do anything. In the future, he will be plotted by others." "
Zhang thought that he was frustrated under Han Fu's hands, and Zhao Xin was much stronger than Han Fu. At this time, he was unknown, so he might as well take a gamble.
"I'm afraid," he said."Now that the governor has come in person, how dare I disobey him? "
Zhao Xin was overjoyed and said,"It's such a happy thing to have a handsome man like you. It's like a good rain after a long drought. Why don't we go to the city and hold a banquet to celebrate?" "
So the group of people went to the restaurant to eat and drink. It didn't take long for Zhang and Xin Zhao's subordinates to get familiar with each other. Zhang saw that Xin Zhao was generous and didn't put on airs, so he couldn't help but feel lucky that he had met a wise master.
Zhao Xin asked Zhang to send more gold and silk to Hejian to settle his family. Zhang left a letter and abandoned his official position with Zhao Xin. Along the way up north, Zhao Xin and the others had a good time with Zhang Yi. Zhao Xin often discussed military affairs with Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi was very good at marching and setting up formations. Zhao Xin also learned a lot from Zhang Yi. The longer he got along with Zhao Xin, the more knowledgeable and generous he was. Zhang Xin believed that he had met a good lord.
Just as he left Jizhou, he remembered that Tian Feng seemed to be from Julu. The Tian family was a big family, so it should be easier to find them. He thought that he had to recruit more talents for this trip, so he first sent people to Changshan to find Zhao Yun. After he visited Tian Feng, he would go.
Tian Feng was in his thirties and was a famous person in the county. He was deeply moved when he saw Zhao Xin visit him personally. He discussed the general situation of the world with Zhao Xin and was even moved by Zhao Xin's unique analysis of current affairs. He thought that this person knew the world like the back of his hand and had great ambitions. His future achievements would be extraordinary. Moreover, this person was thirsty for talent. He immediately followed Zhao Xin without hesitation.
It was already three months by the time they arrived at Chang Mountain. The people they had sent earlier had already found Zhao Yun, so everyone immediately rushed to Zhao Yun's residence. At this moment, Zhao Yun was young, about the same age as Taishi Ci. Zhao Xin abducted Zhao Yun with just a few words. In the future, Zhao Xin would be proud of this matter.
Since the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Zhao Xin did not stay any longer. Everyone rushed back to Runan. Zhao Xin decided not to return by the long route and sent out dozens of followers with gold and silk to search for talents. They first returned to Runan. Along the way, Zhao Xin deliberately befriended Zhao Yun, the future peerless famous general. Of course, he couldn't ignore Tian Feng and Zhang…
