Hongmen County, in an instant, there was a lot of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

A large number of people gathered towards Xinfeng, and there were many families who migrated to Xinfeng with their families.

In just two days, there are almost 1,000 families planning to move to Xinfeng.

This frightened the landlords of the entire Hongmen!

They finally realized the seriousness of the matter!

If there are no tenants or slaves or maidservants, who will plough for them?

Rely on those eldest young masters and eldest ladies of their family?

Obviously, this is impossible!

But......

There's nothing they can do to stop this, so go and sue, who will they sue?

Feudal official?

Not to mention whether there is a yamen who dares to take this case, even if it does, I am afraid that it is a senior member sitting on the high hall, and he shouted as soon as he patted it: "Who is in the hall?" Why did you sue the official? ”

Looking for a backstage?

Now, their former backstage backers have all pretended to be dead.

There are even people who are busy cutting ties.

Not a single person dares to speak for them!

Even if they entrusted the relationship and went to the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that the enemies of the enemy were friends, as a result, the people sent to contact were directly arrested by the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion and thrown into prison on the charge of 'slandering His Royal Highness the Taisun'.

finally spent a lot of money to fish people out, and then found out the whole story, everyone felt a chill in the neck and a handstand!

According to the man they had a relationship with a lot of money, it was: "Are you looking for death? At this time, you want to drag the Prime Minister's Mansion into the water? Well? Is it a fool to be the Prime Minister's Mansion? Fortunately, the level of the people you come into contact with is not high, otherwise, you don't need Zhang Chiyou to make a move, and the prime minister will kill you! ”

It was only at this time that the wise among them came to their senses.

Now, where do the prime minister and the entire second division general department dare to take the initiative to get involved in the affairs of General Yingyang?

It's too late to avoid it!

If something comes to the door, in order to clear the suspicion and get out of the matter, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will only be more ruthless than the Ying Yang family!

Why?

The answer is that the current generals of the Second Division are on the front line to command the big war with all their might, and the entire Second Division Department is betting on the war.

Anything that might interfere with or affect the front line will be treated as a major enemy by them and will be dealt with first.

And now, what the Second Division Department is most afraid of is to tell the truth, give that General Yingyang an excuse to tear up his promise, and even directly intervene in the Hexi War.

And they stupidly sent to the door, they are simply stupid and don't know it, in the eyes of the prime minister and the general of the second division, their behavior may even be understood as a farce of 'Yingyang is self-directed and self-acted'.

Directly marked in black, precise grass, is reasonable.

As a result, these people sadly discovered that their status in this country was no higher than that of the peasants who had been oppressed, exploited, and oppressed by them.

In the eyes of the top, the two are actually one class.

They are all leeks, and they are all ants.

Life and death are insignificant, and rise and fall are not worth mentioning!

Understanding this, when these landlords and heroes returned home, they could only sigh and feel sorry for themselves.

But reality forced them to solve the problem.

For if, after the slaves and maidservants are gone, the tenants will also run away.

Then, I am afraid that their land will be lost this year.

That's not only because there is no harvest this year, but also because all the investment in the early stage has been wasted.

The purchase of waterwheels, columbs, seeds, fertilizers, etc., at high prices for these lands, is a lot of money.

In order to stop the loss of tenant farmers, some of these landlords had to start reducing rents and interest rates.

Even, I had to pinch my nose, carry rice, meat, oil and salt, and go door-to-door to say good things.

The rent was dropped from 70 percent to 50 percent, and half of the interest on the money borrowed in the past was waived.

He also showed the feelings of the township party and promised that in the future, he would treat his neighbors well.

Then, it was further concessioned to the point that as long as you stay, the ground rent will be directly discounted to 40%, and the interest will be reduced by 70%, and compound interest will not be calculated.

In this way, it is easy to say that some tenants are left.

And the matter of rent reduction, as long as someone starts, it will be difficult to suppress.

Soon, the rent of the entire Hongmen began to decline.

There is no way, if the land rent is not reduced, the tenant farmers will run out!

Without tenant farmers, no matter how much land they have, they will not have half a profit, and they will even lose money!

After all, the imperial court never cares about any objective reason.

The manuscript tax and field tax allocated to the land must be collected, and if they cannot be paid, they will directly raid their homes and arrest people.

……………………………………

At this time, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin had already left Hongmen and began to cross the river to Wannian.

After the battle of Hongmen, Liu Jin was really eye-opening.

Along the way, I kept looking for Zhang Yue to discuss the matter of Hongmen.

"Qing's clever strategy, loneliness is really breathtaking!" Liu Jin praised: "Quietly solve the problems of a county, and convince the county!" ”

Just thinking about it, seeing the deflated and embarrassed demeanor of those landlords and gentry, Liu Jin only felt that his thoughts were clear, and he was so cool that he couldn't do it!

What's even better - this time, except for the gang of inferior gentry and landlords in Hongmen, all the participants have earned.

Hongmen County has solved the problem of Shen Ke for many years, and has also helped a large number of tenants and poor people to obtain relatively good land rent.

The burden on the people is directly halved!

There were also a large number of tenants and poor people who followed the caravan of Xinfeng to work in Xinfeng.

Xinfeng, on the other hand, has received a large number of high-quality cheap labor.

For example, those slaves, maids, and senders are all very high-quality laborers, who work hard and complain, as long as they stutter, they can reach sunset from dawn.

The wages are pitiful!

According to the contract they signed with Xinfeng and Hongmen.

They were workers seconded to Xinfeng County as Hongmen County, and then dispatched to the workshops by the Xinfeng County Government.

The contract stipulated that they would unconditionally submit to the government's allocation and management, and work for the workshop for three years to repay the government's ransom for them.

Of course, at the end of the three-year period, in addition to being free, they will also receive a certain amount of remuneration based on their performance.

You will also learn about technology!

This is like pie in the sky for those poor slaves and maids in the past.

And for the governments of Xinfeng and Hongmen counties, this matter is also profitable.

Hongmen County seems to have spent a lot, but in fact, the redemption cost has long been covered.

For 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, you can get the right to use a young and strong labor force for three years, and the workshop owners have crooked their heads with laughter.

In this, the only losers are the landlords of Hongmen.

They lost a lot of money, except for getting a bunch of five baht coins.

Even those five baht coins will soon be spit out!

Because, Liu Jin already plans to conduct an inventory of the land and population in Hongmen after a period of time.

This is his collar county, and he can play as much as he wants!

Thinking like this, Liu Jin asked: "Zhang Qing, you say, how about doing this for 10,000 years?" ”

When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately smiled: "Your Highness, Wannian is different from Hongmen, it is Lingyi County!" ”

The advantage of Lingyi County is that the landlords are not strong, but the yeoman peasant class is strong.

For example, in Nanling County, most of the landlords are the same as the old Zhang family in the past, but a few hundred acres of land have died of a thousand acres.

Land annexations and conflicts are not drastic and are within acceptable limits.

"Ah......" Liu Jin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and then he became excited again: "What about the territory of my father?" ”

The crown prince is now out of Beijing, and his prince leads the county, which is temporarily ruled by the prince's family order and the prince's subordinate officials.

As the grandson, Liu Jin does have the qualifications and ability to intervene.

But Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry in everything!" You have to eat it one bite at a time! Nowadays, the world's grain production is not too rich for the time being, and things like Hongmen are slowly talking about it first! ”

Those who want to engage in industry without talking about grain production are bound to be hooligans!

The foundation of the Industrial Revolution in Britain was built on the massive colonies of the British Empire.

Without a steady supply of food and raw materials from the colonies, would you like to play the Industrial Revolution on the land of the British Isles? Sheep eat people?

I'm afraid that the English will starve to death, like Ireland!

In today's Han Dynasty, grain production is even more important.

You must know that in the past, the Han family strictly forbade the people to use grain to make wine.

In some years, cracking down on and punishing moonshine was the number one task of the local government and the court!

From here, you can get a glimpse of the importance of food in the pre-AD era!

Xinfeng is also Zhang Yue's high-yield wheat, and only then does it have the basis for the expansion of the workshop.

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of disappointment, and now in his eyes, Xinfeng's workshop has become the hope of the future.

Because, from that point of view, the income and living standard of the workshop workers are far better than those of the peasants, especially the poor!

At the very least, the workshop workers are paid enough to feed their families, feed themselves, and even save some money.

Zhang Yue looked at it, and hurriedly comforted and encouraged His Royal Highness the imperial grandson: "Your Highness, don't worry, after the wheat harvest next year, the Xinfeng Workshop can be expanded again!" ”

Liu Jin listened, finally laughed, and said, "Then I'll talk about it tomorrow!" ”

…………………………………………

From Hongmen to 10,000 years, it took half a day.

As soon as they arrived in Wannian territory, especially near Wannian County, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin clearly smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

At all times on the gallop road, there are chariots and horses full of grain, grass and ordnance.

A large number of people and convicts, under the custody of the army, marched all the way north, towards the west of the river.

And there are more voices about war.

After entering Wannian County, there were more officials all of a sudden.

The officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Servant, the Shaofu, Guangluxun and even the Great Honglu appeared in droves.

The generals with loud voices were urging everywhere.

"What did you servants do? Why didn't you send the horses that were set? If you miss the battle ahead, even the servant may not be able to protect you! ”

"When will the corn and wheat beans from Shaofu be delivered? Hurry up! ”

"Guangluxun, when will the Lang official you promised to replenish be in place? Lingju and Luntai are waiting for these Lang officials to replenish! ”

"Herbs! Medicine! Medicine! The front-line soldiers are bleeding and sweating, waiting to collect medicinal materials, why are they so slow? ”

Obviously, these people are all Li Guangli's representatives stationed in Wannian, and their job is to constantly urge all parties concerned to expedite the allocation of materials, and to connect with the Prime Minister's Office to ensure the front-line war.

Zhang Yue looked at all this, his heart moved, and he remembered that he had left Chang'an for seven or eight days, and he didn't care much about the war in Hexi, I don't know what the situation is in Hexi now?

He lifted the curtain and commanded Tian Shui, who had been riding a horse on his side: "Tian Shui, you go and investigate, how is the war in Hexi now?" ”

"No!" Tian Shui immediately took the order and left.

But it didn't take long for him to return.

came back with him, and there was an old acquaintance - Guo Sui.

"Ying Yang, His Royal Highness Taisun!" Guo Sui panted and came to the front of Liu Jin's palace car, dismounted and bowed: "Your Majesty, please Ying Yang and His Royal Highness, return to Beijing immediately!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yue immediately asked.

"I just got an urgent report from the general of the second division: Luntai has fallen!" Guo Sui kowtowed.

"Ahh When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately got up and got out of the car.

Zhang Yue's eyes also widened, incredulous: "How can it be so fast?" ”

From Luntai to Chang'an, more than 10,000 miles, fast horses day and night, but also seven or eight days.

In other words, the fall of the wheel was at least eight days ago.

It was almost the time when Zhang Yue and Liu Jin left Beijing, and after a little mental conversion, Zhang Yue knew what it meant?

This means that it may have taken only three or five days for the Huns to capture Luntai!

This is simply beyond the impression of the Huns in the world!

You must know that in the past, the technique of the Huns attacking the city was quite clumsy.

Even in its heyday, most of them relied on those fortified cities that were won by Neiying.

Obviously, there is no internal response to the wheel.

In other words, the Huns mastered the means of siege!

I listened to Guo Sui said: "The slave maid heard that the general of the second division reported to the Son of Heaven: the Xiongnu took Li Ling, the king of Jiankun, as the commander, and the craftsmen of the Western Regions made dozens of artillery carriages, and tens of thousands of horses from Qiuzi, Weili and other countries took turns to attack the city, after three days of resistance in Luntai, three city walls collapsed, and it was difficult to continue, Li Sheng, the captain of Luntai, was killed in battle, and the captain Ren Kan and others led the crowd to break through, and those who got out were only two thousand, and the rest were trapped in the city! ”

"Li Ling!" Zhang Yue's eyes widened, as if he had heard a myth, but then he lowered his head.

In the historical records, Taishi Gong once recorded the story of Li Ling not being an enemy of the Han army.

However, the Book of Han records that Li Ling led his army to confront the army of Han Dahonglu Shang Qiu Cheng and defeated the latter.

Moreover, as a person who has traveled to this era, Zhang Yue knows that Taishi Gong has a lot of beautification of Li Ling in the historical records.

Not to mention, in the historical records, before Li Ling's defeat, he found that there were military prostitutes in his army, so he thought that the existence of these women made him unlucky, so the story of killing them all is an outright lie!

Because......

Today's Han army is carrying female dependents!

Especially the Han army in Hexi, they all have wives and concubines!

Many of the immigrants in Hexi are descendants of soldiers who were ordered to go to the border!

And the Han Jane unearthed in later generations clearly shows these facts - the Han army, especially the border army, is with families!

Otherwise, call a group of men to stay in Hexi for several years or even more than ten years, thousands of miles away from their hometown.

Who will say yes but? Who would say yes?

In other words, the women killed by Li Ling were actually the daughters of the Han army.

Even if he took 10,000 steps back, those women were really so-called military prostitutes, and it was impossible for Li Ling not to know about their existence before.

There are women in the army, and there are hundreds or even thousands of women, such a conspicuous group, is Li Ling blind or deaf?

Therefore, in fact, Li Ling's behavior is really unmanly, he is completely throwing the pot, and even venting his anger, pushing his failure to a group of weak women who don't know anything and originally need his protection.

The subsequent performance confirmed this even more - it was clearly said that everyone would break through together, and if they didn't succeed, they would become benevolent.

even released a big word: "Gongzhi, I will not die, and I am not a strong man!" ”

The others who were moved were in an uproar, and followed Li Ling to break through desperately.

Li Ling's deputy general, Han Yannian, took the lead, rushed to the front, and fought with the Huns until he died of exhaustion.

What about Li Ling?

Before Shan Yu's cavalry, he suddenly figured it out and felt that it was not worth it, so he quickly turned over and dismounted and surrendered to Shan Yu.

It's just that I pity the dozens of strong men who broke through with him back then, as well as the soldiers who followed him in the mountains of Junji Mountain, never left him, and died in the mountains and wilderness.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh: "Li Shaoqing, Li Shaoqing, your ancestor and father, your famous name, will be lost because of you!" ”

Li Ling lost the last chance to wash his name.

He blatantly commanded the Xiongnu army as the commander of the Huns and captured Luntai.

This is an act that Tai Shi Gong can't wash away even if he writes ten more touching articles!
