As the decree of Lu Fengnian, the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, was issued, almost all the commoners in Youzhou Province burst into tears of joy!
Not only will they be exempted from taxes for a year, but they will also be able to build farming tools for the common people. Every household will also be able to allocate fertile land and cultivate freely.
This was simply a dream!
In the beginning, no one believed that this decree was true.
It was only when the commoners saw that the land deeds of the big landlords and magnates were taken away and the government began to send people to organize the distribution of fertile land that everyone truly believed it.
The blacksmiths in Youzhou were all involved in the production of farm tools. For as long as a month, a large batch of newly produced farm tools would be delivered to the farmers every few days.
The commoners who were allocated fertile fields and farming tools would bow to the officials.
And these officials were also wantonly publicizing that these were farm tools that the Provincial Governor had forged for everyone out of his own pocket. Moreover, the Provincial Governor had sympathized with the people's feelings and distributed the land.
For a time, the people of Youzhou were deeply grateful to the new Youzhou Provincial Governor, and Lu Fengnian's popularity soared.
All the citizens of Youzhou would think of the Provincial Governor.
The policy of Youzhou soon spread to the neighboring prefectures, and many people moved to Youzhou.
Naturally, Lu Fengnian was happy to see this.
The fact that the commoners had moved to Youzhou showed that Lu Fengnian's popularity was rising day by day.
As the population of Youzhou increased, the productivity would naturally rise. More people would move into Youzhou with their families, and Lu Fengnian would have more fresh troops and reserve troops.
Of course, the citizens of Youzhou Province were not only poor farmers, but also merchants and magnates.
Naturally, Lu Fengnian would not neglect one thing and lose the other. After taking good care of the poor commoners, the merchants and corporations would be disappointed.
All the land that was taken back was compensated to these people with a certain amount of money.
Moreover, Lu Fengnian had promised to reduce their taxes by 30% for the next five years.
The Youzhou government would also help them for a year to ensure that their business would be successful.
Lu Fengnian tried his best to balance all parties and ensure that the citizens of Youzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment.
As a transmigrator, Lu Fengnian naturally would not allow the Youzhou people to only use the slash-and-burn method to farm.
Some very advanced agricultural concepts were taught to the common people under the circumstances of combining them with reality.
Not only was the farming method simpler, but the efficiency had also increased greatly.
No one doubted the fact that the harvest in the fields would increase greatly.
Some experienced farmers praised the Youzhou Provincial Governor for his thorough research on agriculture.
In the past few months, the entire Youzhou Province was full of vitality.
Initially, many people were not optimistic about Lu Fengnian letting Pei Xiulin manage the internal affairs.
Being able to manage a mountain stronghold in an orderly manner did not mean that he could manage the internal affairs of Youzhou well.
No matter what, Youzhou was a big family business, and it was not easy to manage.
In the beginning, Pei Xiulin did not do well when she took over such a big business for the first time.
After all, he was born in poverty and had come into contact with lower levels, which determined that his horizons were limited.
However, from the second one, everything started to improve.
According to Lu Fengnian's general policy, Pei Xiulin would carry it out step by step and adapt to the situation according to the actual situation. The internal affairs of Youzhou would be brought back to order in Pei Xiulin's hands.
Officials, merchants, and farmers all had their own duties.
Youzhou, which had been ravaged by the flames of war for several years, had a vague scene of paradise.
In the entire Hebei region, many famous families had begun to enter Youzhou to operate their businesses, and famous officials from all over the world also went there because of their reputation.
Of course, the premise of ensuring the stable livelihood of the camps in Youzhou was that there were absolutely powerful troops guarding the border of Youzhou!
The white-robed God of War, Chen Qingzhi, personally led 7,000 white-robed soldiers to guard the northern border. 3,000 white horses were also under his command, waiting for orders at any time.
The Qiang tribe in the north was overjoyed when they heard that the White Horse General Gongsun Zan was dead.
They actually organized a large group of Hu cavalry to go south.
However, after the white-horse General Gongsun Zan left, a white-robed War God Chen Qingzhi came!
Compared to Gongsun Zan, who was brave and good at fighting, this white-robed general could be said to be weak.
However, this person was far more terrifying than the White Horse General Gongsun Zan.
What was even more terrifying was that the 3,000 white horse followers that had disappeared for many years had actually appeared again!
The 20,000 Hu Cavalry headed south and were defeated by this White Horse Righteous Army!
The nomads were good at archery, but this group of white horse followers were even better.
In addition, there were seven thousand white-robed soldiers supporting them from behind.
Chen Qingzhi took charge of the rear, and in just ten days, the Qiang people who had rushed south threw away their armor and fled in defeat.
This time, the fear of the northern tribes towards the white-robed army rose to a peak. They simply fled at the sight of it!
The southern border of Youzhou bordered Yuan Shao's territory, so naturally, there were constant disputes and conflicts between the border guards.
However, with Zhang Liao holding the fort, Yuan Shao's men would always be at a disadvantage, even though they would always take the initiative to stir up trouble.
Gao Shunjin followed Lu Fengnian's orders and selected another group of people to join the Breaking Ranks Camp.
However, Gao Shun's selection criteria were still strict, and in the end, he did not pick out a thousand people.
In the end, a total of 700 people were able to join the Breaking Ranks Camp. Adding on the original number of people in the Breaking Ranks Camp, there were only 1,500 people.
Lu Fengnian did not insist on this point. As the trump card unit, the Breaking Ranks Battalion naturally focused on quality rather than quantity. Lu Fengnian was very appreciative of Gao Shun's persistence in his principles and his willingness to accept quality over quantity!
No matter what, Lu Fengnian's great name had only given people surprise, admiration, and terror in the past.
But now, Lu Fengnian had won respect and love.
In less than half a year, the popularity of the young rising star Lu Fengnian had already surpassed many of the old dukes!
