Chapter 354: The Beginning of the Law Change

A hundred years later, the Wu Bi, which had never been destroyed, was finally torn down.

It was Yuan Fang, the sect leader of the Yuan family, who overthrew it.

The people who once supported Yuan Fang all scolded him in shock, and wherever he walked, feces, urine and spit followed. The shady households of the "hundred-room households" and "Qianding Gonghu" in Wubi have long been frightened by the turbulent times outside, and when they heard that they were going to restore their nationality, even if there was a "official land" of the state to distribute it to them, they were unwilling to take a step.

He Mulan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think that entering Wubi would become like this, the turmoil of the Yuan family did not make the Yuan family's shadow family panic, He Mulan led the army into Wubi, almost many people wanted to cut themselves off before the Tiger Ben army, and some people even really did it.

When He Mulan ordered people to fork away the people who crashed into the horse's head again and again, Xue Andu's face was already too bad to be done.

"General Hua, why be merciful to them? Such a chaotic people, just beat it and throw it out! "

"Yuan Fang is the newly appointed 'sect master', and he can't suppress everyone, he is borrowing from us." He Mulan looked at Yuan Fang, who was leading the way, "If we really kill these shaders, I'm afraid that his head of the family will not be able to do it immediately, and the so-called 'surrender' will become a joke. It is naturally best to be able to fight without blood, so why use a knife?"

"! Who threw the chickens! "

Before Xue Andu could speak, a few eggs flew over, smashing straight on the back of his head and back, and when he looked back, he only saw a few children running past in the indignant crowd, Xue Andu couldn't really arrest the child and kill him, so he could only roar at the crowd a few times in frustration.

He Mulan has fought Rouran, attacked Tongwan, and slaughtered Hugh, and there has never been a time like this. It was obviously the winning side, and he didn't do anything lacking in virtue, but he was surrounded by hostility in the sky, almost to the point where it was difficult to move an inch.

The tiger army behind her was also depressed, and one by one she couldn't wait for He Mulan to immediately kill and give these "Diao people" some color.

In fact, Hemulan was also suppressed by this atmosphere, and when more and more people began to rush into the ranks, He Mullan suddenly raised his hand and stopped the advance of the army.

As soon as the Tiger Army stopped marching, the atmosphere immediately became tense. Yuan Fang, who was at the front, saw that the situation was not good, turned back, and arched his hand at Hemulan.

"General Flower......

He Mullan didn't speak, just stared at him with a pair of eyes like knives.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army pressed their hands on their weapons one by one, and their momentum changed abruptly from the rats crossing the street just now, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, exuding a murderous aura that can only be found on the battlefield, and it was so startled that these shaders, who had not seen blood for a long time, trembled all over, and took many steps back in panic.

Some of the children just started crying.

Di Ye flew to stand beside He Mulan, thinking of this familiar murderous aura, almost even his pores were dilated.

They are real warriors, and although it is good for the opponent to abandon their weapons and surrender, for them, what they really desire is-

Come! War!

He Mullan stood at the front of the line like a banner, staring straight at the young master.

The tiger soldiers were gearing up, the high-powered tiger soldiers were grinning, and Yuan Fang was forced by He Mulan's terrifying eyes, so he had to lower his head and give in:

"The Yuan family is new, there are always many old people who are unwilling, and they can't convince everyone at the moment. Not everyone knows what's going on...... General Hua, since you have chosen to accept the surrender of the Yuan family, this kind of thing should be understandable......"

"You are the ones who chose this path, not us. If the Yuan family's crimes are resorted to in the world, these shady households should smash you with eggs." He Mulan's anger now is not something that a young man like Yuan Fang can bear, "Tell them to get out of the way."

Yuan Fang looked around left and right, and saw several elders of the Yuan family in the crowd, gritted his teeth and drove over, and said something in their ears.

"Looking at General Hua's appearance, it seems like he has been to the Yuan family's Wubi......" Yuan Fang smiled flatteringly, and after what happened just now, the ruins he exposed were also obediently hidden, "In front is the Yuan family's grassland, which can be used for the army to be stationed."

It is said to be Wubi, which often occupies an area about the size of a city, and some are even larger than ordinary towns. He Mulan led the Tiger Army and the Yuzhou Local Army to camp in the open area, this is nearly 20,000 troops, even if the supply of the states and counties along the road in Yuzhou is very difficult, I can't wait for them to leave quickly, but with the grain, grass and medicinal materials that the Yuan family has hoarded before, it is more than enough to supply these people.

He Mulan led a large army to station, and after a while, Yuan Fang asked someone to let He Mulan go to meet the county lord. He Mulan took dozens of people such as his guards and Tiger Ben elite to follow Yuan to a wooden house, and Yuan Fang didn't dare to invite He Mulan in, so he asked her to talk to the county lord of Helian inside through the window of the wooden house.

The county lord was already seriously ill, and he was slashed by Yuan Fang on the shoulder before, and he was moved back and forth from the tunnel, and he was not far from death.

He Mulan came closer, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he held back for a long time, and only said: "I have some friendship with Princess Helian Mingzhu. Do you have any last words?"

She raised her voice very loudly, but even then, she didn't know if the woman could hear it clearly.

He Mulan waited silently outside the window for a while, and did not hear any movement, Yuan Fang also felt a little surprised, so he sent someone in to take a look, and after the person went in, he ran out in a panic, waved his hand again and again, and said, "It's dead!" He's dead! And with a smile! ".

[,! ]

What she laughed at and why she laughed was never known again.

This Hun woman is dead, whether she is the county lord of the Xia Kingdom, or is she a random fabricated identity in order to survive, why did she defect to Liu Song, only He Mulan sighed.

She died of illness, and she could not leave her body or all her belongings, so she had to burn her.

When the county lord of Helian was lifted up by the subordinate who was covered in clothes, He Mulan glanced at Yuan Fang, and said as if he didn't care: "Yuan family master, you don't have to be like this."

Yuan Fang pursed his lips, "I don't understand what General Hua means."

"You set fire to the tunnel, but only brought out this woman, because you were afraid that if she died inside, or if she was dead, you would be blamed in your brother's heart. He is so infatuated with this woman, although he won't complain about you, but there will inevitably be some discord between the two of you. In order not to blame your brother, you made such a scene, and asked me to be a witness."

Yuan Fang's face was actually a little red, and he looked up at the sky uncomfortably.

"General...... Really...... Ahem, exquisite. It's just a little bit too funny."

"Her tragedy comes from the war, and it comes from you. If the people are far away from war, from the princes to the common people, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, so why do we need to build such a wall to isolate the world?"

He Mulan looked at the distant barrier and said with emotion: "Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil, the people have been displaced, and they have fled everywhere. Now that Guanzhong has been decided, the south has not heard of war for a long time, there are fertile fields outside, but Wubi is overcrowded, Yuan family master, I feel the deep brotherhood between you and Yuan Hua, but sometimes, please think about other people's brothers......"

She looked at Yuan Fang, who was stunned, "What really blocks the peace of the world is not Wu Bi, but the hearts of the people."

Yuan Fang was stunned by what He Mulan said, and when he saw He Mulan's not handsome side face, he seemed to be shocked and couldn't speak for a long time.

After He Mullan sighed, he casually dropped another sentence.

"Lord Helian here, I'll talk to your brother. What did this county lord say his name?"

I have been calling her "orchid" and "Hun girl", which is really sad.

"She claims to be the daughter of Helianman who died defending the city, and her single name is a Wei character."

Yuan put his head down.

"I'll have someone erect a monument to her."

"It's more than that. Master Yuan, the plague is likely to spread outside, but the medicinal materials are far from enough, do you understand what I mean?"

He Mulan walked unhurriedly towards the camp, and Yuan Fang followed behind him, nodding.

"The medicinal herbs are hoarded in my Yuan family's warehouse, and I will hand them over to Xue Duhu."

"And those innocent people who died because of your Yuan family. Some are rangers, some are lonely travelers. Since you did evil, Xue Duhu has traveled to several state capitals, and although not all the missing people have been recorded, many missing people have been found. Do you recognize this debt?"

Yuan Fang became free and easy when he heard this.

"Admit it, why not? I'm going to Pingcheng, I can't even lose my life, what are I doing with these things outside my body? As long as General Hua dares to take it, he can take it to the compensatory care."

He knew that there was a custom in the officialdom of the Wei State, like this, the general took a few copies, and handed over the rest to the top, as for how to divide it from above, it was a matter from above.

There are too many people to be cared for, far more than she should take, so Yuan Fang said, "As long as the general dares to take Yunyun".

"I didn't dare to take it, so I asked the head of the Yuan family to voluntarily sacrifice ...... first"

He Mullan smiled slyly.

"Since you have dedicated it to the state governments, then I can't disobey your good intentions, can I?"

Yuan Fang opened his mouth wide, as if he didn't believe that there were still people who were willing to share the huge wealth of his mouth with others.

He Mullan didn't care what he thought, he just smiled at him and walked away.

The army has all driven to the Yuan family, and no matter how hard the people of the Yuan family struggle, they can't escape the fate of the Ju clan being bound to Pingcheng to accept Tuoba Tao's fate.

Wu Bi of the Yuan family was ordered to dig up the wall by the local government to recruit the people, and the entire fertile land was all taken into the "official ownership", in the name of the outside world, a large number of prohibited weapons were found in Wu Bi, trying to rebel, the young son of the Yuan family pleaded guilty and surrendered, and Emperor Wei opened the net, did not destroy the nine clans of the Yuan family, and escorted them to Beijing for trial.

But since it involves "rebellion", it is impossible to escape the death penalty and the living crime, and it is probably just exile or serving as an official and maid, and the stream of slavery.

The huge wealth of the Yuan family was presented to the officials of the state capitals by the new head of the Yuan family before it was confiscated, and it was used to relieve the local widows and loneliness. It is rumored that the head of the Yuan family is dissatisfied with Mulan's dominance, and is willing to scatter all the family wealth, rather than the Tiger Benjun and the Wei State to take advantage, which caused many people to praise the backbone.

As for the Yuan family's medicinal materials, they naturally fell into the hands of Xue Andu. Xue Andu himself was from a wealthy family, and he would not be greedy for these medicinal materials, which were distributed by the "Living Persons Administration" and "Medical Administration" of various state capitals, and were supervised by Taoist doctors sent by the Taoist sect, which would be used for the treatment and prevention of epidemics.

He Mulan spent a while to solve the matter of Yuan's Wubi, personally supervised the Huben army to go to the dark river to seal the river, and drilled many hidden piles and traps at the bottom of the river to prevent Liu Song from using this waterway, so he was relieved to escort the "traitor" of the Yuan family back to Beijing.

In contrast, Yuan Hua, who was recuperating in the bamboo hut because of the epidemic, escaped a prison sentence and the pain of running around because of his illness, which can be regarded as a blessing [,!] ]

The Yuan family's Wu bi was passive, causing a huge shock to the suzerain and Wu lord of the entire south.

During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, any ruler must pay attention to the problems of Lord Wu and the suzerain, and try every means to win them over and lure them to become helpers.

In that year, Shi Le led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wei County, and subdued many Wubi and Wubao, after the first battle, he recruited more than 50,000 soldiers from these Wubi, which shows the scale of Wubi.

Moreover, in addition to conscription, the food required by the army is also provided and transported by these suzerains, and once these suzerains are co-opted, there is no need to worry about food and grass.

However, as the world gradually calmed down and more and more land was obtained, the population problem became imminent. Tuoba Tao attacked other countries several times, whether it was destroying Xia or conquering Rouran, in the final analysis, it was also for the population.

But even so, the population is still far from enough, now the fields are enough, no one cultivates, and there are thousands of households in Wubi (note that the households are not people), and it is impossible to count the specific number of people, and it is impossible to make them serve, cultivate and pay taxes, and after a long time, the country will inevitably fall into the predicament of reckless military force.

Tuoba Tao wanted to move Wubi, but he didn't want to cause too much turmoil, this time he conquered the Yuan family with a thunderous force but did not make a river of blood, which not only knocked the mountain and shocked the tiger to the suzerainty in the south, but also a peaceful means, and did not touch their nervous heartstrings.

As for what happens after that, it depends on what happens next.

He Mulan's duty was to "lead the troops to fight", and he rarely considered these political issues, and Jingzhong learned that several important ministers in Yuzhou had a qiē, but they were not as indifferent as He Mulan.

Wuchang Palace.

"It's really terrible......" Cui Hao couldn't help frowning after reading the "confession" sent back by Mulan, "If all the things recorded here are true, then Yuan Zhe will not be enough to repent even if he breaks his bones and scatters ashes. Although Yuan Zhe's son is not the mastermind, it is also a crime to cover up when he learns of such an inhumane thing."

"Relatives and relatives hide each other, not everyone can kill relatives in righteousness." Gu Bi sighed: "Although such a big thing happened, it is impossible to reveal it to the world, and I don't know how many people in this world are even crazier than Yuan Zhe, if someone really follows suit......

"If anyone does follow suit, I will let them bleed first!

Tuobatao's eyes immediately became murderous.

"But if it is not revealed to the world, it is impossible to blame Song Guo. In this matter, the Song Kingdom is morally untenable." Cui Hao returned the "confession" to Tuoba Tao." We have to find a way to take advantage of the Yuan family's affairs and let the Song Kingdom deal with the tough King Pengcheng."

"Can you think about the innocent people in Yuzhou and Qinzhou before thinking of holding the Song State accountable? Don't let the people panic before the plague starts! "

Gu Bi retorted in his deep and stern tone, "And I believe that under the wise rule of His Majesty, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Tuoba Tao was most afraid of Gu Bi calling him "wise", because that often meant that he still had a lot to do. Thinking of this, Tuoba Tao coughed dryly.

"Now that the walls of the Yuan family have been lowered, what we should consider is what to do with those shaders. What do you think?"

"There are no three elders in the old, only the suzerain supervises and protects, so the people are many hidden, fifty families, thirty families are one household, even if these shade households are taxed according to the old system, this household is too large. The minister thinks that he can use the 'three chiefs' to govern this place."

Gu Bi is not a Han high-ranking man, but Cui Hao has to be careful to move the local forces, so Gu Bi will be ready to play the draft and plate it out.

"There is a neighborhood chief for every fifty households, a mile for every five neighborhoods, and a party chief for every five miles, who is responsible for the collection and management of taxes. Now that the taxes are uneven, the people will be grudged, and His Majesty can first reduce the taxes for the shaded households in the Yuan family's territory, and then implement it carefully. If it is feasible in Chenjun, it will be gradually implemented ......"

Cui Hao shook his head again and again: "The customs are different, the difficulty is different, the nine grades have been implemented for a long time, once the old system is changed, I am afraid it will cause chaos."

"It varies from time to time, and now is not the time to advance! The three chiefs can thoroughly find out the number of shady households, and in the future, there will be a stable source of taxes, and the burden of the people will be balanced, and there will be no more public resentment, and those who are opportunistic and lucky can stop it. Although there is Xu Chao, but we are like in Qinzhou, first try to start from a small scale, although it is difficult to change the law, but it is okay to gradually advance, Cui Taichang, you are a Han person, and the classics of the Han people have 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', and if you don't even do it, how do you know if it will work?"

Gu Bi was excited, and Cui Hao's face was full of saliva, Cui Hao is also a person who attaches importance to appearance, and his face was blue when he was made by Gu Bi, and he almost pinched him.

Tuoba Tao has long been accustomed to the two important ministers pinching each other, Gu Bi is more than the prime minister, and Cui Taichang is the head of the civil officials, Tuoba Tao rubbed his forehead with a headache, and loudly stopped the two from continuing to quarrel.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel now, we haven't been to Yuzhou, I don't know what the attitude of these sect masters is now, wait a minute, wait until I meet Yuan Fang and Hua Mulan of the Yuan family."

He took the case.

"Wait for Mulan to return to Beijing first!"
