Chapter 1250: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (140) Or Opportunity

The wooden house at the top of the mountain belongs to Niu Teng, and the furnishings in the house are as simple as everyone else, the only difference is that there is a map hanging on the wall, which is one of the reasons why He Yong admires Niu Teng, because the lines, points, and words on the map that twist and turn directly make him blindfolded, but Niu Teng can point to these things and say a sub-ugly geography of the mountains and rivers of the entire Shu County. Although He Yong probably has a little outline except for Ziyang County, other places are completely black-eyed. In addition to the amazing value of force, in He Yong's opinion, this leader is simply knowledgeable about astronomy, geography, and omniscient.

For Niu Teng, as a man born in the mansion of Ning Zecheng, the minister of Yan State, who has served in Yan Lingwei for many years, and in the Supervision Yuan of the Han Kingdom, he is in a position of national security, it is too small to coax a group of peasant rebels, and he does not have much sense of accomplishment for him to treat them well, but after getting along with them for a long time, the simplicity of these people also makes Niu Teng extremely moved.

The order given to him by the National Security Bureau is to create turmoil in Shu County, the more chaotic the better, but now, Niu Teng is thinking about how to give these simple farmers a better home, the first goal is very easy to achieve, you can do it when you are a wandering bandit, but to do the second one, it will take some effort, for this reason, Niu Teng had to send people to sneak back to the Han State, report his latest ideas and plans to the National Security Bureau, and request relevant personnel and material support.

Personnel may be able to replenish, but the supplies are only afraid of the Arabian Nights, no matter how good the National Security Bureau is, it is impossible to send him the urgently needed supplies from thousands of miles away, so everything has to rely on him to find a way.

quietly listened to the reports of He Yong and Wang Qiang, and also listened to He Yong's worries. I have to say that this young leader of the peasant rebel army still has ideas, and he sees a little farther than ordinary people, and it is not unreasonable to worry, Niu Teng, who came out of the Han Kingdom, naturally knows the importance of land to the peasants, and the foundation of the Han Kingdom. It was to take a large amount of land in Jishi County, and then distribute these lands to the landless homeless people free of charge, and distribute livestock and farm tools to them, after several years, attracting countless homeless people to embark on the road to Jishi County one after another, and finally created the prosperity of Jishi County, forming the foundation for the take-off of the Han Kingdom.

The subsequent land reform throughout the country was also based on the experience of Jishi County and the local reality. and finally formed.

The people of the Qin State are going to reform, but they are copying the Han State, will this work? The actual environment faced by the two countries is very different, and I am afraid that not only will there not be the results desired by the Qin authorities, but there will be a lot of chaos.

Niu Teng knew very well that the reason why the Eastern Army at that time dared to introduce this policy. It was because the Huns who controlled the steppe at that time had been defeated by the Qin State, and the Qin State was after the defeat of the Huns. turned his head and went to deal with Zhao State, which caused a power vacuum for a long time on the prairie, and the Eastern Army took advantage of it at this juncture. The vast land is boundless, but there is no owner, which is the reason why the Eastern Army dared to let go of the land division at that time.

The upper and lower levels of the Eastern Army don't care about the land. As for the population, in order to attract more people to Jishi County, this policy was extremely wise at the time. In order to achieve this goal, the Eastern Army at that time could be regarded as taking out all the family funds, and a large number of subsidy policies were introduced. It is said that the then Zhengdong Army was in debt, and the current king of the Han Dynasty even took out all the dowry money of his wife, and there was a joke in the high-level of the Han Kingdom, that is, the Han Dynasty established the country, and after the financial situation improved, the king Gao Yuan asked the Minister of Finance for the money he had subsidized at that time, but was rejected by the Minister of Finance Wang Wuchang on the grounds that there was no evidence, and the dignified king was so angry that he was going to go up and beat Wang Wuyan with his fists. Fortunately, there were still a few ladies around Wang Shang at that time, and they pulled him alive, but they also frightened Wang Wuyan to hug his head and run away. In the court of the Han Kingdom, the people regarded it as a joke, but Niu Teng knew that it was not a joke, because the second lady Ning Xin was by her side at that time, and she was the one who pulled the frame, and Princess Ning did tell this as a joke to Niu Teng.

For this point, Niu Teng has always been very confused, the entire Han Kingdom belongs to the king, why does the king still remember to recover this money from the Ministry of Finance? And the result of the recovery was still a nose of ashes, Wang Wuyan's attitude was very tough, there was no IOU at that time, there were no witnesses, so naturally he didn't count. Of course, there are no witnesses, this money was moved directly from home by Gao Yuan to Wang Wuyan, and now Wang Wuyan does not admit it, and the king is helpless.

Although it is a joke, it also shows one thing, the land reform of the Eastern Army at that time paid a great price, and now the Qin people are doing this, can they afford to pay this price? The Qin State was not comparable to the Eastern Army at that time. At that time, the Eastern Army was located in a corner, with no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the people under its rule were only a few hundred thousand people, regardless of Liaoxi, and the land reform in Liaoxi was carried out under the condition that Jishi County had become a climate.

The land reform of the Han Dynasty has gone through more than ten years since Jishi County, and it has not yet been completely successful.

The Qin people wanted to save their economy from collapse, so they copied the experience of the Han State, fearing that in the end, the tiger would not become an anti-dog. You know, when the Eastern Army carried out this work in western Liaoning, it encountered a lot of difficulties, even if the commercial and industrial system of the Han Kingdom is now mature, and a large amount of capital is flowing to these two markets, but when carrying out land reform, there will still be a lot of trouble, Niu Teng believes that in Qin, which still takes land as the most important asset and agricultural tax as the fundamental government revenue, land reform will bring great trouble.

Perhaps, in the end, this trouble will be the last straw that overwhelms the former giants of the Qin State.

"No worries at all." Niu Teng said to He Yong with confidence. "It's not their chance, it's going to be our chance."

"What do you say, Great Chief? In my opinion, if they had given me such a field back then, I would not have picked up a knife and gun to rebel, but would have honestly farmed, as long as I could eat and clothe myself, who would do this business with my head! He Yong was a little incomprehensible to the leader's calmness.

"Of course, the policy is good, but it also needs to be divided into when and when to do it." Niu Teng laughed, "He Yong, if you have tens of thousands of acres of land at home, and now I want to pay to buy your land and distribute it to farmers, will you do it?" ”

He Yong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't do it, where is this land placed, it can be passed on to children and grandchildren, if you sell it for money, the more you use it, the less the money will be, isn't this sitting on the mountain?" Besides, the price is obviously a bit low. ”

"That's right, you don't do it, you tell me, will those gentry and big landlords in Ziyang County do it?" Niu Teng laughed.

"But the king has already given the order, do they dare not do it?" He Yong asked suspiciously.

Niu Teng looked at the leader of the rebel army who was still not innocent with a smile, "When he doesn't want to do it, they have a thousand ways to make this decree a dead letter, and it can't be implemented at all, they have a way to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and even this decree will eventually become an opportunity for them to make another windfall." ”

Looking at He Yong, who was stammering, Niu Teng instructed: "During this period of time, send more people to sneak down the mountain to find out the news, the one named Wen Yi can easily sneak up the mountain, which means that the blockade of the officers and soldiers has loopholes, or they have relaxed, this is our opportunity, first, we can get some of the materials we need, such as salt or something, and second, we must pay close attention to this land reform under the mountain, if it is not good, it will be chaotic, and then it will be our chance to go out of the mountain." ”

"Yes!" The two stood up and said loudly.

Go out of the mountain and fight back, this is He Yong's obsession all along, fight back, kill those officers and soldiers, kill those dog officers, and avenge his family, he lives for this.

In Cang'er Mountain, the rebels began to prepare to go down the mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain, Wen Yi carried a dead deer and quietly slipped back home at night.

There was no lamp in the house, because the lamp oil was also bought with money, and the son had already fallen asleep, but the woman was still sitting on the threshold, looking stupidly in the direction of the mountain, waiting for his man to return.

Wen Yi carried dozens of catties of venison into the courtyard gate, and the woman jumped up suddenly, and the huge joy made the woman a little overwhelmed.

"Luckily, I hit a deer, look, this deer antler, I will go to the town in a few days to sell it, and we can raise enough money to buy the field, damn, hurry up and cook some meat, and these fragrant ru, I'm hungry, you haven't eaten for a day, and you're very hungry, tonight, we'll have a full meal." Wen Yi smiled and said, he didn't say that he really met bandits in the mountains, or old acquaintances, which would make women worried.

The woman nodded again and again and trotted towards the kitchen, while Wen Yi dragged a knife out and began to dismember the dead deer. After eating later, send a deer leg to Wen Cheng's family, and let them open the meat too, even if it is not a family, it is not much, and besides, I am worried about leaking the news, if people know that they have sneaked up the mountain, a bandit hat is not fun.
