Chapter 339: Gain the Land and Win the Heart
On the fourth day after Li Mu returned to Chang'an City, Deng Zhi, Zhang Ji, and Li Hui escorted money, grain, cloth, salt, armor, weapons and other materials to Chang'an City.
In the past few days, Dian Wei's Tiger Wing Legion has pacified Hedong County almost bloodlessly. Zuo Fengyi's entire county and most of Hongnong County were all under Li Mu's command.
Huang Wan and Yang Biao relied on their prestige to personally visit the Guanzhong clan and borrow grain and money from them. As Li Mu expected, the two returned empty-handed.
Li Mu's various measures in Guanzhong were hundreds of times milder than those he did when he first settled in Liangzhou. The Guanzhong clan watched for some time, and saw that Li Mu did not hate the family as much as rumored, and they were bolder.
During the period of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao's rebellion, the Guanzhong clan was damaged to varying degrees. Now, Guanzhong is the time to stabilize the people's hearts and wait for all kinds of waste. The Guanzhong clan began to hoard Juqi and raise the price of food, cloth and other materials, they wanted to make a fortune as a refugee!
Chang'an City Barracks!
"How is the recruitment of our army?"
Li Mu looked at Xu Shu in the first place and said loudly.
"Lord!"
Xu Shu said in an excited voice: "Although it is only four days, our army has recruited 60,000 people, and these people have been strictly selected, and they are all young and strong. In time, you will become an elite! ”
"Not bad!"
Li Mu nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "We will recruit new soldiers, and give priority to the three major legions of Canglong, Tianfeng, and Lion." Immediately send orders to Zilong, Hansheng, and Meng Qi, no matter rain or shine, be sure to train soldiers strictly! Within six months, these recruits must be able to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”
The herald received Li Mu's military order, Shi Li left the camp, and Pegasus rushed to Xiuwu in Hanoi County, Yin Hu Prison Pass in Henan, and Mianchi in Hongnong County, and went to give orders to Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong.
"After today, De'ang personally went to Hanoi County, Henan Yin, Hongnong County, Hedong County, Jingzhao Yin, and Zuo Fengyi to investigate the dangerous places in various places and repair the passes!"
Li Mu looked at Li Hui and said in a solemn voice.
"Li Hui takes the order! We will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”
Li Mu immediately stood up, bowed to Li Mu, and said aloud with a look of anger.
"Starting tomorrow, De Jong will be responsible for the household registration of all parts of Guanzhong and the survey of the land of Guanzhong. After the coming year, organize the people to build water conservancy and accumulate grain. ”
Li Mu pressed his hand, motioned for Li Hui to sit down, and then said in a deep voice.
"Zhang Jiancheng should do it himself and live up to the high expectations of the lord!"
Zhang Ji also stood up to salute and replied loudly.
"From tomorrow, Bo Miao will inspect all parts of Guanzhong, first, to check the relief situation of our army, and second, to collect evidence of the crimes of the Guanzhong clan. After the recruitment is over, I will reshape the situation in Guanzhong. ”
Li Mu looked at Deng Zhi and said in a deep voice with a solemn face.
"Please rest assured, Deng Zhi will bow down to everything!"
Deng Zhi stood up and saluted, and said solemnly with a solemn face.
"Yuan Zhi!"
Li Mu looked at Xu Shu and asked with a smile: "The Guanzhong clan has hoarded Juqi...... To what extent? ”
"My lord! The Guanzhong clan really deserves death! ”
Xu Shu was angry, and said with a solemn face: "The price of grain, cloth and other materials in Guanzhong is Liangzhou's...... Ten times over! Moreover, the Guanzhong clan is still rising in price! ”
"I really don't know whether to live or die!"
Li Mu chuckled, and then said with a smile: "The money used in Guanzhong ...... But is it still the small money that Dong Zhuo minted? ”
"Exactly!"
Xu Shu nodded, and immediately added: "To be exact, most people still use small money...... There are very few people who use the five-baht coin! ”
"The little money saved in Chiyangwu Fort...... How many? ”
Li Mu looked at Xu Shu and asked with a smile.
"Uncountable!"
Xu Shu immediately replied: "These small coins are really rough in casting process, and they are re-fired to make five baht coins, I'm afraid it's also difficult!" ”
"God help me!"
Li Mulang laughed and said: "From now on, use these small money to buy grain, cloth and other materials from the Guanzhong clan. No matter how the Guanzhong clan raises the price, we just have to buy it until we use up all this little money. ”
"Presumably, this is the first step of the lord!"
Xu Shu immediately reacted and said with an excited face: "Next, when the purchased grain, cloth and other materials are to be used to help the people...... Will the lord abolish the small money and reuse the five-baht coin? ”
"Not bad!"
Li Mu nodded with a smile, and then said in a deep voice: "From now on, the sale of Liangzhou porcelain, Ming Xuan paper, Mingju furniture, and Jincheng drunk in Guanzhong will be suspended. The small money in our hands is only allowed to come out, not to enter! At that time, the small money in the hands of the Guanzhong clan ...... It's not just scrap copper and rotten iron! ”
"Does the lord want to paralyze the Guanzhong clan, so that it can become more intense and reveal its original form?"
Deng Zhi thought less, and then muttered.
"Not bad!"
"The Han and Qiang in Liangzhou live together, and they must be suppressed with iron and blood! Guanzhong is full of Chinese people, if you want to get their peace of mind, it is not appropriate to use too bloody means. ”
"Let's use this trick first to shake the foundation of the Guanzhong clan. Then, we waited for the household registration to force the Guanzhong clan to be in turmoil. Then, we will use the law of Liangzhou instead of the law of the Han Dynasty...... Uproot the Guanzhong clan again! ”
Li Mu's heart was already decided, and he immediately became a bamboo in his chest.
"Household registration ......"
Zhang Ji muttered to himself, and then hesitated: "What does the lord mean...... The population of Guanzhong was re-surveyed, and the free status of servants and maids was restored. At the same time, return the land that the Guanzhong clan had encroached upon and privately annexed to the people? ”
"What De'ang said is very true!"
Li Mu nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "How much land has been invaded by the Guanzhong clan, I will let him spit it out tenfold." As long as the free status of servants and maids is restored, if the Guanzhong clan wants to use people, they must exchange land. ”
Everyone thought about it for a while, and intuitively felt that their lord's plan was feasible!
"What the lord said is ...... the law of Liangzhou"
Li Hui hadn't thought it clearly, and then muttered: "Please also ask the lord to make it clear!" ”
"Servants and maids are vassals of the family, and their life and death are in the hands of the family. Since then, the family has been in the hands of the ...... There are more or less homicides! ”
"In this case, we will use the law of Liangzhou - killing to pay for life! That's why I asked Bo Miao to collect the evidence of the family's crimes! ”
"With so many prongs, the Guanzhong clan will be destroyed! They will either submit to me for a long time, or they will follow their former glory...... Vanish! ”
Li Mu said in a solemn voice with a cold face.
"The lord is wise!"
Xu Shu and the four of them thought about it for a while, and replied in unison.
"Recently, I was not in Chang'an City. All the things in Chang'an City, please leave it to you! ”
Li Mu got up, bowed to everyone, and said solemnly.
"The lord is here, you need to be careful! I am waiting in Chang'an City, waiting for the triumph of the lord! ”
Xu Shu and the four of them came to the center of the big tent, touched one knee to the ground, and said in unison.
"If the destiny is mine, I will be able to make this trip worthwhile!"
Li Mu helped the four of them up one by one and said solemnly.
