Chapter 159: There are few people, rob the fuck!
After the end of the Qixia War, the weather has become warmer, and the migratory birds returning from the north in the sky indicate the official arrival of spring.
Outside the city of Chang'an, civilians who had land began to plough the land under the guidance of officials.
There are not many ploughing cattle in Daqi, and this precious labor force naturally needs to be used reasonably.
Cattle ploughing cattle were given priority to the farmland of officials and soldiers.
Probably because of the first year, there were no civilians who wanted to rent this part of the land.
Therefore, in order not to make the cultivated land wasted, Yang Hao had to use these lands as official land.
It's just that in terms of taxation, this part of the field is different from ordinary land.
The normal land is the tithe, and this part of the land is three out of ten.
The so-called wool comes out of the sheep, and Daqi helps the officials and soldiers to farm the land, and the extra part is naturally labor expenses.
Drawing 30%, although it makes many people unhappy, but you don't have to work by yourself, you can get 70% of the harvest, thinking that you are far more than the land of the commoners, and your heart is balanced.
As for the manpower for farming, Yang Hao naturally would not occupy it, and those captives of Great Xia laid down their weapons very miserably, picked up farm tools, and were driven to work.
Of course, Yang Hao doesn't want slaves, these people are still war criminals, and they are called labor reform.
Even in order to aggravate the identity of their prisoners, Yang Hao ordered all the hair of these war criminals to be shaved off.
At this point, these Great Xia prisoners of war have a new identity, labor prisoners, and this hairless appearance has created the impression of a lowly identity for the Daqi people, which is not shameful.
Over time, baldness has become synonymous with lowliness, and this hairstyle has a figurative name among the people, labor reform.
If the monks of later generations are here, I am afraid that Yang Hao will be scolded for nothing, and after death, he will also go to the eighteenth layer of hell and be tortured.
Nowadays, Daqi men wear their hair, and women simply coil their hair up.
And Yang Hao hasn't thought about whether to unify Daqi's hair accessories at this time.
After all, a uniform style of hair accessories and clothing can enhance the sense of identity of the ethnic group and distinguish it from the rest of the ethnic group.
For this kind of cultural matter, Yang Hao doesn't care much, maybe one day on a whim, he suddenly made a will, let the whole clan tie their hair or short hair, and what he is most concerned about now is how to fill everyone's stomach.
Daqi's ploughing cattle were not enough, so Yang Hao ordered the Ministry of Industry to work overtime to make ploughshares, so that manpower could replace ploughshares.
It's slower, but it's better than the land being wasted.
A company is equipped with ten ploughshares, and it can reclaim one acre of land in a day.
Although the weather has warmed up now, the land has just thawed and is not suitable for sowing, and there is still some time at this time, Yang Hao feels that at the current rate, there is absolutely hope that the field will be reclaimed before planting.
However, what upset him was that the population of the Great Qi tribe was too small, although there were now more than 10,000 people living in the sphere of influence of the Great Qi.
But apart from the peasants and soldiers, there were so few idle men that the construction of dikes and canals was at a standstill.
This situation is something that Yang Hao doesn't want to see, but people can't be conjured out of thin air.
"Grandma's, there is not enough manpower, so I'll grab it!"
Yang Hao, who was forced to be helpless, once again exposed his murderous side.
He was a man of action, and since he had decided to start plundering the population, he took out the map that the scouts had drawn during this time.
Drawing maps, and marking the tribes, Yang Hao has been going on.
Since the time when Great Qi destroyed the Three Trees, the map between Qi City and the Three Trees is the most detailed, but these are only areas within a radius of a hundred miles.
Outside of this range, Yang Hao is also actively exploring, and now it can be regarded as having certain results.
Look at the dots on the map that are marked as having tribes or suspected tribes outside the sphere of influence.
Yang Hao smiled evilly.
He doesn't care who these people he belongs to, he only knows that he is short of people now, and these are the labor force.
"Lao Tzu robbed your people, what can you do to me, dare to provoke me, and break your claws for you.
”
Put away the map, Yang Hao immediately sent someone to summon Qu and Liyang.
Let the two of them take their men and wipe out all these tribes in the shortest possible time according to the map markings.
Regardless of men, women, and children, as long as they are alive, they can breathe and bring them back, and those who dare to resist will be killed directly.
In this era, there is no warmth and affection, and whoever talks about humanitarianism, whoever has a hard fist represents the truth.
The victory over the Xia Dynasty army greatly enhanced Yang Hao's confidence in conquering the Central Plains.
He originally thought that as the most powerful force in this era, no matter how backward the Xia Dynasty was, it should be more able to fight.
But this battle made him feel as if he was thinking wrong, facing tactics and classes that would only appear thousands of years later.
In this era, there is no resistance at all, the low and fragile city, in Yang Hao's opinion, there are weaknesses everywhere, as long as there are enough people, he is confident that he can directly sweep the entire Central Plains, so that the world trembles under his iron hooves.
Rapid population expansion is the first step towards achieving this great goal.
Qu and Liyang were naturally very happy to accept this kind of work of conquering small tribes.
With the current strength of the Great Qi, these small tribes did not pose any threat to the Great Qi army at all.
Although these tribes are small, there are also a lot of good things, although most of the looted things have to be handed over to the tribe, but who will know if you take some of them yourself, in addition, this is also part of the acquisition of war merits.
The two knew that this was a fat mess, and after receiving the order, they returned to their homes to settle down, and they couldn't wait to gather their troops.
With the class as a unit, holding a simple map drawn, like ants foraging for food, out of the Daqi tribe.
Fu had no opinion on Yang Hao's arrangement, and he had now officially become the commander of the cavalry company.
After the previous battle, the importance of cavalry is self-evident, and he is now busy practicing his riding and archery skills every day, as well as studying the so-called kite flying tactics taught by Yang Hao.
There is not the slightest interest in robbing small tribes.
However, Shuo had a lot of opinions on this, and after learning that Qu and Liyang led the troops to go out, he found Yang Hao and shouted that he was going out.
But Yang Hao was sent back on the grounds that the elite soldiers needed to stay to defend the tribe.
After the army left the city, Song followed the stream and headed towards the west, thinking that he might pass through Qicheng, and he couldn't help but be excited when he had been going home for a long time.
And Fu Geng, who was under house arrest, also noticed the movement of the Daqi army, looked at the army hurrying through the street, frowned and pondered, and couldn't guess what crazy thing that crazy man was going to do.
