    After Sima Guang returned, he told the government officials exactly what Hwarang had said. These government officials were not as thoughtful as Sima Guang. When they heard that Hwarang had been rewarded, they were immediately excited and went to investigate.  These government officials have some tricks up their sleeves, so two days later, they thoroughly inquired about the situation of the big landowners in Huainan, and after summarizing, handed it over to Hwarang.  Hwarang looked at the summary carefully and found that there were three super large landowners in Huainan. The land of these people basically ranged from 3,000 to 5,000 acres, and their land was really  Less than one-fifth of the land is utilized, which means that most of it is barren. The reasons for this are, first, that some of the land is too barren, and planting plants may not yield much.  , Furthermore, the rents charged by these people are too high. After the people plant the crops, it will not be enough for them to eat for half a year. In this case, those people might as well go to other businesses.  Without people, no matter how much land there is, it will be barren.  And these landlords were more or less well behaved. One of them, surnamed Liu, once raped a peasant girl on the street. The peasant girl was very loyal. After being touched by landlord Liu, she hanged herself.  Of course, this happened many years ago, and the officials of Huainan City were greedy for money and suppressed this matter many years ago.  Other people had done similar things to this. After reading this, Hwarang decided to attack the three big landowners first. He asked the government officials to arrest these people. Although they had money, they did not dare to  Fighting with the government, not to mention the fact that the government is arresting people now, the evidence is conclusive.  After arresting these people, Hwarang recounted the crimes of these people one by one. After finishing the enumeration, he faced Sima Guang and asked: "Sir Sima, what do you think we should do with these people." Sima Guang frowned slightly.  He said coldly: "Kill for life." After saying the word "kill for life", these three big landowners were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy. But Sima Guang dared to spare them. At this time, Hwarang said again  : "Lord Sima, these people have committed murders, and they may have committed other things as well. Please send someone to investigate clearly." These are all Hwarang's tactics. After all, directly asking them to contribute their land is too much.  Obviously, and in this way, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of these people and give them an excuse to complain to others. In this way, even if Hwarang and the others have good intentions, they will be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.  The situation is not good either.  Sima Guang imprisoned the three people, and then asked the government officials to continue investigating the situation of these people. After receiving the order, the government officials hurried down to get busy.  One day later, they sent news that they had discovered many unsightly things in the houses of those landlords, such as keeping male pets, and so on. Of course, there was also news that Hwarang and the others really wanted, and that was  These people used various channels to hide a lot of land privately. After they hid the land, they did not have to pay taxes on it.  After getting this news, Hwarang promoted those people again and finally revealed his purpose. Because these things existed, they couldn't say anything and could only admit defeat. Hwarang smiled coldly and then asked  Sima Guang used the name of the imperial court to expropriate the land that originally belonged to the imperial court. Of course, it is hard to say whether the land that originally belonged to those people was divided into national land during the expropriation process.  After doing this, Sima Guang thought he could be let go, but Hwarang ordered his execution.  "What did this person do to force someone to death? Can such a person be let go?"  Although expropriating land is Hwarang¡¯s main goal, cracking down on evildoers cannot be ignored.  In this way, Hwarang and the others used this method to expropriate 10,000 acres of land in Huainan. After completing the expropriation, Hwarang went to Liu An and told Liu An his plan. Liu An listened.  After that, he was very happy, but also a little worried, and said: "Huarang, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous to do this. If there is no order from the court, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to do this." Hwarang smiled:  "I have thought of this a long time ago, so before I was ready to do this, I had already sent a message to the capital. My friends in the capital would raise this matter in the court. If the emperor agrees, we will start farming immediately.  Maybe we won¡¯t delay the autumn planting. If we plant well, we will be able to eat new wheat next year.¡± When Liu An heard what Hualang said, he immediately dispelled his doubts. The two of them summed it up.  It is impossible to farm all of them. After all, these soldiers are indispensable for the construction of many things in the country and local areas, such as building water conservancy projects, so except for the craftsmen who need to build water conservancy projects and repair houses, etc.With Xiang soldiers who have very important skills, Liu An can probably assign more than 3,000 soldiers to farm. If this is the case, each of them can get almost three acres of fertile land. Although three acres of fertile land is not much, it is enough for one family.  It's a lot of rations, at least they won't have to go hungry for half a year or even a year.  These people's requirements are very low. They don't go hungry and have food to eat. So give them three acres of land and let them have food to eat. Then these people will be hell-bent on being good to you. And if they have food to eat, how can they rebel?  .  In fact, in every dynasty, those who rebelled were either really rebellious and born to rebel, or they just couldn't afford to eat and the government forced the people to rebel. The Song Dynasty was a dynasty where the government forced the people to rebel. However, the rulers did not realize that  Less than that.  Now all Hwarang can do is to make the people around Huainan City live a good life.  Perhaps, Hwarang thought that it would be good for him to raise a team in Huainan City. In the Water Margin, Zhujiazhuang had militiamen. It was also okay for him to form a militia in Huainan City. But if you think about it carefully, he  I think it's better to forget it. Now that the politics are clear, wouldn't it make the emperor suspicious if he raises troops?  It¡¯s better to live your own life peacefully, and although he has no soldiers, he is so good that everyone in the Huainan rivers and lakes obeys his orders, which is much more powerful than raising soldiers.  When the land expropriation was almost completed, news came from the capital that the emperor had agreed to Huali's request. Of course, Hwarang knew very well that the reason why the emperor agreed to these requests was because of the efforts of Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo and others in front of the emperor.  It is inseparable.  But these are not important. What is important is that what Hwarang wants to do can finally be done.
