Chapter 232 Chaos
Li Po escaped.
Thinking about it, it is still the fault of being soft-hearted, and make up your mind, whether you see red-eyed or blue-eyed people in the future, you can do what you should do, he Li Po is not a womanizer, why do you make so much trouble for yourself?
Of course, his expectations for himself are not so high, he is neither a defender nor a seed of infatuation, he wants a house of peace, then everything will be fine.
The Western Turks are coming quickly, and if they are not happy, they will be hungry.
There were only seven or eight hundred of them, and when they came to Sui in the eighth year of Daye, there should have been more than two thousand people, except for the few hundred people who were brought by Luo Khan, the rest came to Loufu County.
A few years have passed, and there are only these few people left, all of them are full of vegetables, and there are not even a few war horses left that they thought were their lives.
The miserable and embarrassing place is even worse than what Li Po said.
There are few old people left, almost all of the adults are women, and most of the children are daughters, so it can be said that after a while, it will almost become a daughter country.
They are not willing to marry the Sui people casually, after all, many of them are more or less related to the surname Ashina, and they can't look down on them if they have a low status, and it is impossible for them to have anything to do with the exiled Turks.
The aristocracy in exile is so awkward.
Of course, when their stomachs are hungry and shrunk in winter, they will not be so affectionate.
In general, these are people who have almost fallen into despair, and the war in the Great Sui is the main cause, or else. They are likely to be raised like the Khan of Qimin when he entered the Sui Dynasty. There is also a great chance of going home.
But now, no one really cares about them.
The promise of Hengan Town is for them. It is a life-saving straw, a straw that is more reliable than going to the Turkic royal court.
Of course, when they arrived in Hengan Town, they couldn't help themselves.
There are not many cattle and sheep in Hengan Town, and the military supply is indeed a bottomless pit, and you can't let the people not be able to eat because of the military supply, so there will be such a thing as taxes.
Yes, not because the nobility needs to be enjoyed. It was the tax that was created, and it was because of the need to provide for the warriors that the tax appeared. As a result, the warrior became a nobleman.
Heng'an Town is slowly sliding in the direction of an independent kingdom, and now the appointment and removal of officials in Yunnei County, and the collection of taxes have been tightly held in the hands of Heng'an Town's army.
Strictly speaking, it is not the integration of the government and the army, it can only be said that the military is in power, and they are centered on Yunnei City. Controlling a radius of hundreds of miles, the standard local small warlord.
The people in the resettlement site are nothing, but don't think about getting together, some people go to the horse farm to herd horses. Let's eat the official salary.
Now the copper coins are still circulating in the clouds, and the price has been miraculously suppressed by Heng'an, and the food is no longer tight. The price is also unchanged.
As soon as you say this, many people may understand that this is Li Po's idea. The complete government control has given the price to death.
How much grain and meat can each person buy per day. All come according to the household registration, if you don't have a household registration, you will wait to starve to death in Yunnei, if it weren't for the paper being too expensive, Li Po would be able to get some food stamps.
In this way, that is to say, the handover with the outside world has been broken, and it is my own house to play behind closed doors.
The next thing to do, then there is no need to ask, to mint money by yourself, only by implementing your own monetary value system, can you make this system more perfect.
This made Yunnei more organized, and the people's hearts were quite stable, which was very rare in this year, after the war of the southern invasion of the Turks.
The whole town of Hengan rejoiced, because their power had been greatly strengthened, well, the matter of going to the Qinglou without giving money happened repeatedly......
Not long after, Wang Qing and others came over, and this method of forcible equalization was implemented for a long time later, but in this year, less than half a year, there were many drawbacks.
First of all, the officials say that they are corrupt and bribery, which is a bit excessive, but how honest they are, and if they have meat to eat at home, it means that they have not done a good job.
Moreover, the officers and soldiers gradually became arrogant, because they were the most well-fed and best people in Yunnei, and all kinds of preferential treatment boosted the arrogance of the soldiers and soldiers, and a new generation of bullies began to be born.
Also, the rich families in the city are also beginning to can't stand it, this kind of control, the harm to them is the greatest, the business can't go on, the food is not better than others, and the superior status is gone, so what is the use of the family money I have accumulated after living desperately for so many years?
Yes, the side effects of eating out creativity and enterprising spirit are emerging.
In general, the common people, gentry, officials, and soldiers in Yunnei, who had no faith support, only supported it for a few months, and it made a seemingly beautiful system reveal many shortcomings.
Li Po could only helplessly explain to Wang Qing that this was just an expedient measure, he had to eat a full stomach first, and when he turned his head, he began to take military discipline seriously in the army.
He also invited some gentry in the city to the eight-sided building, and comforted them, and everyone hurried to get through the difficulties first, and let the others go down first.
You have pastures and fields, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but others can't, so instead of complaining, you might as well hire more people to farm and graze for you.
Besides, you see, I've been together for so many days, and I can see that I've copied other people's mansions for no reason?
No one has touched your granary, has it? Your pastures and fields are also fine, and your family members are also living well under my rule, you open your eyes and look around, is there anything more merciful than Heng'an Town?
As a result, the gentry, who had long been frightened by him, said that they wanted to advance and retreat with Hengan Town, and planned to offer some food again.
Li Po didn't ask for it, here in Yunnei, there are really no big families, how much grain can the rich people hide one by one? It's a drop in the bucket when you take it, and it also ruins your reputation.
In any case, he felt that under his rule, there should be an order, not a land division of land by indiscriminately beating local tyrants.
Of course, when the Heng'an Town Army first entered Yunnei City, this kind of thing had already been done a lot, otherwise, where would the big landlords in Yunnei be so obedient?
When the Ashina Rongzhen sisters came here with their relatives, they were faced with a rather quiet Yunnei County with no signs of chaos.
Some people were sent by Li Po to graze horses in Yunnei, and Li Po immediately set aside a pasture in the northwest of Yunnei City, gave some cattle and sheep, and let some people graze there.
Some of them were left behind by him to settle in Yunnei City, almost as hostages.
Li Po in June was undoubtedly busy, not only did he think of a way to let his wife have an extra red-eyed escort by his side, but he also "showed his strength" in governance, checked and filled in the gaps, and made his head bigger.
In the end, he called the officers to train a dog's blood sprinkler, brought the Yunnei county commander and others, and scolded them, "What's the use of asking you for these wastes? ”
However, having said that, material control often comes from material shortages, which only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and can only fall into a vicious circle and cannot extricate themselves.
Yunnei County, under the rule of Hengan Town, lacks too many things, and if you want to get out of this predicament, there is actually only one way to go, and that is to expand.
More people, more talent, more territory, etc., etc., etc.
This is not at all a matter of personal will, especially in these troubled times, when this characteristic is even more pronounced.
In fact, at this time, whether it was Li Po, Li Bi, or the officials of Yunnei County, or the generals in the army, they had already vaguely felt this.
In the conversation between the husband and wife, more and more people talked about Ma Yi, neither of them was a good person, and words like loyal ministers would never be used on them.
There are many things that are missing in Heng'an Town, which can be found in Mayi, but Li Jing is still in the position of the commander of Mayi County, and they all feel that it will be more logical to help Li Jing regain the military and political power of Mayi.
It's a pity that Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Ma Yi, or Liu Wuzhou, the county lieutenant, or even someone else, didn't give them this opportunity.
In June, the assassination of Li Jing of Mayi County, although it was not a major problem, suddenly made many contradictions in Mayi City more acute and intense.
Li Bi was furious when he received the letter, and if it weren't for his father's subsequent letter, he would not be able to move lightly.
The husband and wife almost took advantage of this opportunity to lead their troops south into the county town of Mayi.
Later, Li Po pondered for a while, and felt that this was more like a self-directed and self-acted drama by his father-in-law, of course, time has passed, and he can only think about it.
He has done such a case in Mayi, why can't others do it?
At the beginning of July, Li Jing resigned and ran away.
He left only a letter to his son-in-law and daughter, asking them to keep the territory and govern Li Shu well, but he was discouraged and returned to Cheng'an to wait for the old age.
At this time, Li Bi lost her soul, and Li Po was also very dissatisfied with this unreliable old man.
You're so irresponsible, you just ran away like this, not to mention getting some more food and grass to come over, do you know how difficult it is to stay in this place in Yunnei?
In fact, as soon as Li Jing left, the most uncomfortable person was none other than Ma Yi Taishou Wang Rengong.
No matter how dissatisfied he was with Li Jing before, and what kind of gap the two had, he had to admit that with Li Jing here, Liu Wuzhou didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
As soon as Li Jing goes, Liu Wuzhou, a local snake, has military power in his hands, who can still suppress it?
Not long after Li Jing left, Liu Wuzhou immediately sent someone to Yunnei to express his intention to solicit, obviously, this person finally began to raise his eyebrows, because there were more and more recruits under his hands, and his confidence was getting more and more sufficient.
Li Po couldn't cry or laugh, Ma Yi was the two second goods, one came back with the evil dog that devoured the lord with him, and the other felt that Ma Yi seemed to be the world of his family.
Do you know that Li Jing is your talisman, once it is gone, your head will be unstable. (To be continued.) )
