......
Spring ploughing is always the most important thing in a country, after all, the monarchs of all dynasties have their own self-cultivated fields to show the importance of farming.
The letter of persuasion to agriculture is the first official document issued by Wei Kai when he took office as Chen Cangling. People take food as the sky, and if they don't solve the problem of eating, no matter how beautiful their dreams are, they can't fill their gurgling bellies, nor can they warm their bodies exposed to the cold wind.
Before the formation of human consciousness, our ancestors began to collect wild fruits in the jungle and store food for later use.
Even though the current small-scale peasant economy in Chencang is almost collapsed, fortunately, the family property of the Chencang family is rich enough to support the people of Chencang, and wait until the crops buried in the fields in the spring bear fruit.
Raiding homes and exterminating people and exterminating people have been ways to quickly obtain a large amount of wealth since ancient times. It's just that the former is more acceptable than the latter, after all, the poor must have something to hate.
The bloody scenes of the ruffian bullies who bully men and women on weekdays and run rampant in the countryside are dragged out of the mansion, and then killed one after another in the criminal law field, not only did not make the onlookers afraid, but made the onlookers applaud and cheer.
The eyes of the people are always bright, how painful they were bullied at the beginning, and how happy they are now.
So, there was revenge, there was revenge, and before Wei Kai's army arrived, the exploited people in various places spontaneously broke through the high courtyard gate of the world.
Looking at the people who were busy cultivating outside the city, it was difficult for Wei Kai to connect them with the thugs who had risen up to resist a few days ago. Sure enough, although honest people are obedient and easy to be bullied, they should never anger honest people.
In fact, compared with the clan entrenched in the countryside and oppressing the people, Wei Kai's exploitation of the people was the most serious.
Exterminated the Shi clan, Wei Kai obtained a large amount of wealth and land looted by the Shi clan for several generations. Even if those things once belonged to the local people, they did not complain, they did not feel that Wei Kai had robbed them of their wealth, and thought that Wei Kai deserved it.
On the contrary, when Wei Kai returned to them what should have belonged to them, he immediately gained their support. After coming and going, the clan was infamy, but Wei Kai gained real money and a lot of property.
Of course, if Wei Kai forcibly took a trace of property from their hands now, even if it was a branch, he would suffer from their resentment. How simple the people are, Wei Kai can be regarded as having personally felt it.
So much so that later Wei Kai's division of fields, the return of production, the establishment of the army, and the frequent organization of the people to participate in various labor, the people did not complain.
"Chen Cang's order announced to the people of the whole territory: within three months from now on, all the people who go to the local government to register with the local government can return the land that was previously confiscated, and at the same time distribute additional land according to the number of people.
Chen Cang's order announced to the people of the whole territory: From now on, the people's newly cultivated fields will be exempted from taxes for three years, but if the fields are abandoned for no reason, the government will take back the reclaimed land.
Chen Cang's order told the people of the whole territory: bandits are rampant, and the people will not live in peace. Now the whole territory is called up to become an army, and the bandits are exterminated, and the production of the people is safeguarded. In addition, each of those who joined the army was given money and land. ”
Every day, officials were in the countryside, walking the laws promulgated by Wei Kaixin to attract displaced people to re-naturalize and cultivate the fields. Announcements were also posted in various places to inform the people in various parts of Chencang.
The confiscated clan obtained a large amount of land, which was distributed to the people for cultivation at this time, which would not be wasted, but also attract displaced people to naturalize and gain the hearts of the people.
As for the implementation of the military system in Chencang, for Wei Kai, it is neither applicable nor necessary.
Entering the county seat of Chencang has weakened the power of the clan, but it does not mean that there is no danger, and the strength of the army is still something that Wei Kai must rely on.
Although the army can make good use of the land and increase the production of a large amount of grain, the combat effectiveness of the relative army will decline, which Wei Kai absolutely cannot allow.
In addition, whether it was exterminating the bandits or confiscating the family property, Wei Kai obtained countless amounts of money and was able to support the army to which he belonged.
Moreover, Wei Kai trained the army, never just staying in Chencang to pacify the clan, but to prepare for the future to fight for hegemony. Compared with the armies of the six countries of Shandong, the current army of the Qin State is still too weak, and only continuous training and continuous training can build an iron army.
In addition, the reshaping of broken bones will not only harm the interests of the clan, but also the interests of the local people. The implementation of a new model means the abolition of old habits. No one wants to give up the old way of life, the rules that have existed since ancient times.
Now the people support Wei Kai because Wei Kai has allowed them to live a stable life again, and the change of law means cleaning the house and rebuilding the stove, which means that everything has to start again. How does this make the people accept the loss and regain?
Drawing young and strong people into an army can not only effectively control the strength of the people and prevent the danger of the local people being deceived by others and rebelling, but also promote the intimacy between Wei Kai's army and the local people, and facilitate the implementation of the reforms.
What Wei Kai did was no different from what the previous clan had done, in fact, it was no different from the people who were content with the ancestral system. After all, not all good is not acceptable to others, so as not to cause fierce resistance.
However, fortunately, the surviving clans of Chen Cang can be used as a good buffer between Wei Kai and the people.
How miserable he was at the beginning, how much his life is worth cherishing now, and he is even more willing to follow Wei Kai, after all, no one wants to be a cow and a horse for the clan again.
If you don't use this shield well, so that you are finally driven away by the people of Chen Cang, then it can only be said that Wei Kai's ability is limited.
"Master Bai, what is the best way to deal with my Chen Cang's current predicament?"
Wei Kai put down the bamboo slip in his hand and looked at Bai Jin, the head of the Bai family, who was kneeling quietly on the side.
Bai Jin is indeed a smart person, and he knows very well what Wei Kai wants. So, when Wei Kai entered the county seat of Chencang, he took the initiative to hand over all his family property and provided secret histories about other families.
Wei Kai was able to obtain a large amount of wealth so quickly, so as to quickly carry out the law change, and Bai Jin contributed a lot.
However, because of this, he underestimated Bai Jin, and thus relaxed his vigilance against the clan, which was a big mistake. The scourge is remembered for thousands of years, not only because of the magnitude of the damage it causes, but also because it is able to adapt to the environment and continue to have an impact.
"General, attract displaced people, divide the land widely, and the people of Chencang are now living and working in peace and contentment, why is there a crisis at all?" , Hearing Wei Kai's inquiry, Bai Jin replied in a low voice.
"Hahaha, Bai Jin, Bai Family Master, you don't have to be vain and wronged. Do you know that some people used to say that I was sharp-toothed", Wei Kai laughed when he heard it.
stood up and walked to Bai Jin's seat, looked at him under the high collar and continued: "I need you, the patriarch of Bai, to prove the crimes of the Chen family, the Meng family and other seven clans, the fish and the common people, and the crime of ignoring the law of the country."
Hearing Wei Kai's words that could not be refused, Bai Jin was instantly frightened into a cold sweat.
Although it is a matter of private recognition that the clan oppresses the people, the superficial efforts of the clan are still very good. Even if the people are oppressed, the people feel that it is the result of corruption among officials in the government.
Therefore the sins of the people have never been judged according to the law of the land.
Now if he comes out to publicly identify the evidence of the crimes of the Chen family, the Meng family and other clans, then the fig leaf of this clan will be completely lifted by himself. Tomorrow's harm to the clan, the rumor that the tiger will walk in the countryside in an instant, so how will the clan gain a foothold in the countryside in the future? So how will he, the Bai clan, gain a foothold among the clans?
At the beginning, the Chen Cang clan oppressed the people so much, and the people did not take the initiative to raise the flag to rebel. Later, the attack on the Shiclan's mansion was also caused by Wei Kai's secret inducement. From beginning to end, the concept that the old family was the foundation of the Qin State was deeply rooted in the hearts of the rural people.
"General, this... This.... Chen, Meng has been killed by the general, so why bother with the dead? Thus tarnishing the general's reputation", Bai Jin said as he looked at Wei Kai tremblingly.
"Hahaha, I never needed fame. Bai Patriarch, some people live but may not be able to live forever;
If some people die, don't think about it easily."
Wei Kai stared at Bai Jin's frightened eyes and said word by word. Ignoring the patriarch of the Bai clan, who had already been paralyzed on the ground, he left directly.
Smart people can always find countless excuses for themselves to do things they were not willing to do before. If you want to live, don't think about stepping on two boats, Wei Kai thought to himself.
Bai Jin is indeed a smart person, but unfortunately he is facing Wei Kai. Wei Kai originally thought that after the city gate was sealed, Bai Jin would take the initiative to take refuge in Wei Kai and help Wei Kai solve the matters related to Chen Cang.
Thinking of this Bai family master's pretentious gesture, he actually waited for himself to look at the thatched house. As if to say, since you Wei Kai has won, you can take your property and land, but my arrogant heart will not give in to you easily.
If you want to be a bitch and set up an archway, Wei Kai can only say that everything must be done within your ability.
Originally, it was a great humiliation to open the door and beg, but now it has fulfilled the reputation of the Bai family. Recently, Chen Cang has spread everywhere that Bai Jin, the head of the Bai family, took the initiative to be humiliated in order to protect the people of Chen Cang.
There are not many earth dogs in righteousness, and most of them are readers. Although the clans who died in Wei Kai's military camp were very stupid, Bai Jin's hypocrisy really made Wei Kai feel disgusted.
Regardless of whether the Bai clan would agree or not, Wei Kai believed that there were always smart people in Chen Cang's clan who could understand Wei Kai's difficulties.
