When everyone was talking, the meal was ready, and everyone sat separately, and there was no one to divide the guest and host, and Lu Shi also called Wang Zhang and Xiaochunlan to sit.

In the society at that time, it was shocking for women and men to eat at the same table, and Wu Tao was also surprised, but when he saw that everyone took it for granted, he didn't say anything.

Chunlan put down the vegetable bowl and wiped her hands, and naturally sat down next to Lu Shi, Lu Shi introduced; "This is Wu Tao, the new brother of the cottage, and our brothers will cooperate in the future," referring to Chunlan Road again; "This is our food and clothing officer, the captain of the Women's Army, Chun Lan. She can take care of everyone's food, but she can't be offended. He laughed.

Wu Tao and Chunlan immediately got up to greet each other, Chunlan was a woman from a Zhuanghu family, coupled with a cheerful and lively personality, she liked to be pampered up and down in the cottage, and she didn't recognize her life, and she also gave a generous return gift, and she didn't forget to ridicule Lu Shi; "King Chuang has an order, if any brother offends me in the future, see that I don't put sand in his meal, and jump the teeth in his stinky mouth." Everyone laughed again.

The dish is just a big bowl of wild vegetable soup, and a large pot of mutton with turnips, and then a few pickles, not hearty but fortunately, it is affordable, Lu Shi made an exception and poured a glass of wine, it was really tired, and he used wine to relieve it.

Everyone toasted each other, and Lu Shi put down the bowl and said: "Since Brother Wu came to my side to help me, I really can't ask for it, and I will also tell my brother about some of the general situation of the cottage here, so that my brother can understand it as soon as possible and start working." ”

"My subordinates would like to hear about it." Wu Tao respectfully gave his subordinates.

Lu Shi was no longer polite, and told him the current establishment, personnel duties, and operating rules of the cottage one by one, which was an eye-opener for Wu Tao to hear. This new, practical, and distinctive reform is really a stroke of genius, and I can't help but admire it. If there is something I don't understand, I keep asking, and Lu Shi patiently explains them one by one.

While we were talking, I suddenly heard a drum outside the door, followed by a burst of loud shouts, slogans, scolding, and footsteps. The loudspeaker tirelessly preached. The shouts of killing without retreating. Wu Tao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it.

"Let's talk about ours, and the soldiers train theirs." Lu Shi said with a smile. turned back to Wang Xiao, who was happily eating on the side; "Go, close the door."

The Wang brothers put down their rice bowls and respectfully saluted; "Teacher, we've finished eating, now let's go to the children's group and practice with our classmates."

Lu Shi nodded in agreement, and after the two little bowed their hands, they ran out happily and took the door of the hall with them. The hall was suddenly clear.

Lu Shi took chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of mutton for Wu Tao, by the way; "Let's go on, Brother Wu, I'm coming from afar, and I don't know much about the surroundings of this rich county, and I ask Wu Taojun to say a thing or two. It's good that everyone has a walking arrangement. ”

When Wu Tao heard this, he knew that this was Lu Shi's own ability and knowledge in the school, so he put down the wine bowl at the moment, sat up straight, carefully sorted out what he was planning in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "King Chuang, the great commander, Fu County, Xia Shang belongs to the land of the West River, and the Qin and Han dynasties set up Diaoyin Straight Road and Xiangluo County. The Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Dynasties successively placed Changcheng County and Sanchuan County. Sui Zhishang County, Luojiao County, Sanchuan County. In the first year of Tang Wude, the county was changed to Yanzhou, and at this time it was Fu County.

The geographical location is located in the south of Yan'an Prefecture and the northern edge of the Weibei Plateau, which belongs to the transition zone between the loess plateau gully area and the hilly gully area. There are many types of land in the county, Sichuan, plain, mountain, ditch are all there, the territory is vast, the cultivated land is flat, the county town is the intersection of three rivers, the five roads are choked, since ancient times, there is the name of "Wujiao City", Fu County is a county in Yan'an Prefecture, plus there are many fertile fields around the county, there are many big rivers running through the county, especially the Hulu River water conservancy irrigation is convenient, so in the usual year, everyone also has a day of abundant food and clothing.

However, with the powerful landlords doing everything possible to seize and seize the land, the land is becoming more and more concentrated, and the government is urging excessively, so the small peasant households have gone bankrupt, and can only rely on the powerful landlords to do tenant long-term work, in order to avoid the endless forced labor, but the landlord's rent is unscrupulous and long, the highest has reached eighty percent, and the wealthy gentry enjoy their lack of food, and do not live up to the rules of forced labor, but the tax and forced labor of the government can not be less. There are also granges of royal feudal relatives and relatives in various places, and all of this is transferred to the common people. Although the common people have no land to produce, but the tax and servitude are not a lot at all, but there are more and more, and the servants are like wolves and tigers layer by layer, urging the day by day, knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow are all within reach, and the county government only cares about paying taxes and fattening, which cares about the life and death of the people, so the people can only throw the field and go, and occupy the mountain as the king, so there are many poles composed of homeless people on the surrounding mountains, and they gather together in this world to struggle for survival, if someone really organizes, it is not a problem to call 350,000 people.

But because of this, the powerful landlords also relied on their own financial resources or recruited nursing homes to organize the villagers to form villages for self-protection, or moved to the county to avoid chaos.

There was originally a standing army of 1,000 households in the county, although the years are deep, the officers and soldiers are no longer the wise and brave of the year, and they have not practiced for a long time, and the empty quota has become a trend, nominally a thousand households, but the military households have fled, and they have been eaten empty, and they have been unbearable, some time ago, they were broken by the Guyuan mutiny border army in one fell swoop, and those guard military households were scattered in a hurry, and there was no defense at all, and now, Fuxian is just an undefended city wall. ”

Lu Shi nodded, it was only those who knew the place that he knew so well.

At that moment, he asked carefully: "Then according to Brother Wu's opinion, how can our army spread and develop?" ”

Wu Tao pondered again, and then said: "King Chuang, the great commander, Fuxian, backed by the plateau, facing Weinan Hanzhong, the land of the emperor, we are now weak, we will recuperate here, gather strength, at this time the official army is strong and retreat into the deep mountains, the official army retreats to the fundamentals, within three years, we can pour down, occupy the plain, get the land of money and food, especially now, it is God's care, so that Fuxian is eroded by the border army, there is no military strength, it is a good time for us to recuperate, But it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Tao couldn't help but stand up excitedly, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the middle of the ground, saying the ambitions and ideals that had been gathered in his heart in the past.

"Now, natural disasters, the people are not living, but it is the time for us to gather Dingkou to strengthen the strength, I originally Huluyu, small outside and wide inside, easy to defend, and more Hulu River Haohao soup through it, it is the place where Tuntian is reclaimed, it is the place where the people will be raised, and it is also the capital to gather the hearts of the people, the rich county soldiers are empty, it is the time for us to rest and recover their vitality, to the government, we do not provoke, to the big strong, we take to appease Huairou, so two or three years down, Huluyu has accumulated strength, at that time the world has changed, As soon as our strong army comes out, the world, at least Hanzhong Weinan, which one is still competing with us? The big picture is settled. ”

said that this was already full of spirit, and swept away the depression at the beginning.

The hall was silent at the time, and suddenly there was a shout, which broke this Chen Jing, and it was Lu Shi who applauded.

Lu Shi stood up, stretched out his hands, held Wu Tao tightly, and said excitedly: "You and I are close to each other, as the so-called Mr. De has a million army, the cottage is very lucky, the Black Tiger Army is very lucky, and the people are very fortunate in this regard." ”

As soon as this comment came out, Wu Tao, who was in high spirits, was embarrassed, although this was also his own ambition, but it was also felt after Chen San said Lu Shi's policy of a few words, and it was inevitable that there was a suspicion of plagiarism. ”

Where does Lu Shi care about this, he just shook Wu Tao's hand excitedly, and said loudly: "Mr. Guoqian, just said that I can't do it, Mr. has such a suggestion when he first entered the cottage, and in the future, how far we can go in the future, the side is a great merit of Mr." ”

Originally, what Wu Tao said made all the brothers here listen to it in a fog, but once Lu Shi agrees, as long as it is Lu Shi's approval, it is a good thing, where does it matter if he understands it or not? This was an idea that Lu Shi agreed, and of course it was a good idea, and everyone in the hall cheered and applauded together.

This time, Wu Tao naturally gained a firm foothold among the old people in the Black Tiger Village. (Support Genuine, Support Author, 17k)

After everyone cheered, Wu Tao asked first. "I don't know what King Chuang thinks of the big family?"

At this time, the powerful and powerful households annexed the land, oppressed the good, did not pay taxes, and became the rentier class in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, and relied on the intertwined relationship to become an accomplice to the oppression and persecution of the imperial court, and it was the target of all poles, but, after all, not every landlord and powerful man relied on forcible seizure to make a fortune, and there were many family properties accumulated by tens of hundreds of years of hard work, but they did not change these wise people to generalize, not to mention, in the eyes of the literati at that time, it was going to become a big thing, It is indispensable to get the support of these middle and lower class landlords, but it cannot be generalized, Wu Tao is afraid that the king of this pole will take an attitude of fighting and killing all the landlords, so it is really a self-extinction, Wu Tao said that he also has the idea of taking the school Lu Shi, after all, in ancient times, people with a little culture loved this tune.

Lu Shi laughed, pulled Wu Tao back to his seat, and said at that time: "I am strong against landlords everywhere, and what I adopt is to woo, suppress, and tolerate. ”

This made Wu Tao stunned.

Lu Shi explained with a smile: "Win over those who are dissatisfied with the court, make peace with us, suppress the most heinous crimes, in order to collect their family assets, be our capital for trouble, and buy the hearts of the people, tolerate the self-reliant, and collect taxes appropriately, ah, no, we can't collect their taxes justifiably, then call it protection money, and then persuade them to reduce rent and interest to the common people tenants to recuperate, and also in disguise to collect the hearts of the people, what do you think?" ”

Wu Tao was stunned on the spot, and his head was full of these words over and over again. Everyone kept staring at Wu Tao, waiting for him to express their views on Lu Shi's policy.

Wu Tao pondered for a long time, suddenly got up, tidied up his clothes, solemnly gave Lu Shishen a salute, and said with sincere fear: "King Chuang is long-minded, I don't have as much as ten thousand." ”
