13. Fenglong Wutun method

At the junction of Fufeng County and Yi County, the person who came to greet Ju Wenzhen was Lu Yuanshan, the county commander of Fufeng, and when he was riding a horse with Ju Wenzhen, he pointed to Tiantun north of the Chengguo Canal, where Ju Wenzhen saw the archers and their families busy in the cut field.

According to Lu Yuanshan, Fengxiang Mansion was once a large county in western Beijing, the reason why Emperor Suzong was able to prosper at the beginning, relied on Shuofang's military strength and Fengxiang's financial resources, but later because of the repeated invasion of Xifan, the household is now only 24,000, less than Xingyuan Mansion, after the tall Yinjie Town, the first thing to do is "Shibian", that is, to enrich the local household manpower, in order to make full use of Fengxiang's fertile soil and water power, which regulated the "Wutun Law".

These five tuns are the five categories of military tun, scattered tun, guantun, dispatch tun and qiangtun.

The main force of the army is Fengxiang, Longzhou archery team, Gao Yue encouraged them and their families to live in the camp together, to settle down the food and clothing expenses, and the distribution of fields, each archer to the field of fifty acres to one hundred acres, each collision team of archers (fifty people) by the imperial court branch of the money, handed over to the camp field patrol to distribute ten pack horses ten, calves and ploughing cattle thirty, and allowed to have a normal range of "loss" (cattle and horses death) every year, the number of losses reported to Fengxiang local horse workshop, and then issued a supplement, five years later the camp was completed, Then the livestock will be recovered by the patrol yard, of course, the archers can buy them with money for their own use, and the distribution of farm tools is roughly similar - a striker who hits the team must be tuned and repaired, and the archer of a battalion must also build a small dock fort, which is equipped with granaries and salt silos, and has a considerable garrison capacity, in addition, the archers are also responsible for repairing and maintaining water conservancy, and the harvest of the camp field will be bound by the "obligatory order" issued by the camp field patrol within five years, and the excess will be rewarded with money, salt and cloth, etc., and those who do not meet the standards will be punished, and the right to manage the field will be handed over to the shooters after five years. In the fifteenth year, the field was automatically converted into the "Yongye Field" of the archer, so the role of the archer was also automatically converted into a solid yeoman farmer, bearing taxes and military service for the country, of course, Lu Yuanshan told Ju Wenzhen: Yi County, Fufeng County, and Yongxian County are adjacent to the Chengguo Canal, which is a place for the people to gather, so there are not many military tuns of archers, and Fengxiang's archery tuns are mainly concentrated in Purun and Linyou in the north;

However, this is not in the way, Gao Yue also ordered to carry out "Santun" and "Guantun" in Yixian, Fufeng County and Yongxian County, which are densely populated areas, the so-called Santun, that is, the generals of Fengxiang Mansion, do not need to operate, concentrate on training, and the annual military salary is also very high, there are enough thirty or forty times, and there is no need to bear the cost of the expedition - the first battle, grain and straw are issued by the military government, but Gao Yue still encourages them to buy land, and then hire local people to farm, and share the profits, these fields are called Santun, as for Guantun, which is the original official field of Fengxiang Mansion and Longzhou, Instead of forcing people to work on duty in the early Tang Dynasty (the result can be imagined), it is better to simply spread them all out, hire people to farm, and the harvest will be divided into 28 accounts, and the government will give 28 tenants and 8 tenants, and six years later it will be directly transferred to the tenant farmers as Yongye Field;

The Tang Dynasty originally exiled criminals or officials, and sent them to Qianzhong, Lingnan, Guiguan, Fujian, etc., since Li Mi asked the emperor to use sinners to reclaim the field, many sinners were sent to Fengxiang, Longzhou and Jingyuan, the emperor issued an edict saying that as long as it was not a heinous crime, the whole family was sent to Changmu, in charge of food and accommodation along the road, and he ran to Gao Yue, Liu Haibin, Xing Junya to report here, and then received the field, led by the officials who surrendered or dismissed the left (waste utilization), and tuntian, However, the treatment of sinners is certainly not as good as that of archers, they are in the field of the camp of the Tun, the harvest must be paid to the camp field patrol for free, and they can only keep two percent to maintain their lives, and the obligation is stricter, and those who do not meet the standards will be tortured by the criminal law, and later Gao Yue has a field investigation, and feels that this is not good, so he reported to the court and said, "The dispatch of the tun only leaves three rations every year, which is really too miserable, you might as well send the four courtyards to six (send the criminals in the camp in the tun to leave forty percent, pay sixty percent to the patrol court), and there are officials who have been told (by the left to the long stream, Officials who are willing to come to the Northwest for labor reform can be divided into fifty-fifty shares, and after five years, they can be converted into household members and archers. "The Imperial Court is playing;

Finally, it is Qiangtun, Jingyuan and other places since Ming Huaiyi's sister Qingfan fell to Shun, and the whole clan of the strong men for the Fan horse, followed Gao Yue to fight, all developed, which made the other party items in Suining and Gyeongju very envious, so Gao Yue took the opportunity to say that in Jingzhou's Zhenyuan (Linjing) and Fengxiang's Purun and other places to open "Qiangtun", as long as the party Qiangluo is willing to come to Tuntian to serve the Tang family, the treatment is equivalent to that of an archer, by the patrol to support cattle and horses, farm tools, rent and tax are collected in a fixed proportion, more work and more rewards, and encourage the party to come to Tuntian to store livestock for the horse workshopIn the event of war, the strong men in Qiangtun can form a "Qiang cavalry righteous servant", with the benefits of rent reduction, prepare their own dry food, armor and war horses, and go out with the Yining Army and the Dingwu Army.

"This Qiangtun collects rent and taxes, and has to undertake military service, can this group of Fanzi bear it?" Ju Wenzhen rode on a horse and asked Lu Yuanshan questions leisurely.

Lu Yuanshan laughed and said that the imperial court had just restrained the party in Youzhou, but what did Youzhou and Gyeongju have? Most of them are mountainous and desert, and they have to endure endless rewards and slaughters, so it is better to come to Jingzhou and Fengxiang to have a stable life. In fact, the noble people are worried, the Holy Lord also has a letter, and he also sent a letter to Gao Da Yin before, saying that if the burden of Qiangtun is too heavy, you might as well follow the old practice and exempt all rents and taxes, but ask the party Qiang to join the army, in order to show that I regard Huaxia and Diyi as a whole, all of them are my children, and Gao Dayin replied - "Barbarian Di Rong, do not know the etiquette and emperor, and the Chinese Chinese cultivation may not be far away, the thicker the treatment, the more sloppy and contemptuous the rebellion will be, if the parents have no authority, how can the children be filial piety?" In addition, the barbarian Di Rong is far away from the emperor's millennium, and it is even more so, it is better to set heavy rents and strict criminal laws, first make them afraid of the majesty of the Central Plains, and then apply education. ”

In the end, the emperor had no choice but to criticize, "Yes, wait and see the results of Qing."

"And the result?" Ju Wenzhen is even more interested.

Lu Yuanshan told this noble man that from Qingzhou, Ningzhou, and even Weibei, especially some party items have a lot of small people, there are more than 10,000 people, and many people also bring family assets (horses, camels, sheep, etc.) to Zhenyuan, Purun to join Qiangtun, is planting millet and cotton, Zhenyuan is adjacent to Yimaguan, Purun is adjacent to Baili City, Qiang people can easily buy tea, salt and cloth, according to Gao Dayin's estimate, the food needed to support tens of thousands of generals in Fengxiang, Longzhou and Jingyuan, just send Tun and Qiangtun is enough, as for the harvest of archers and Tuntian, In accordance with the peace law of Lu Sheren (Lu Zhen), the imperial court branch department can buy the patrol courtyard and military treasury hoarding at a higher price, which not only no longer bothers the imperial court to transfer long-distance transportation from the southeast, but also supports the needs of the Beijing division, and can save hundreds of thousands of yuan every year just by foot money.
