Chapter 82: The strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle

Three joys came to the door, which made Guo Wei overjoyed.

However, among these three joys, there are also big and small.

Wang Yin is a general, Lao Cheng is serious, and it is not a problem to deal with the Southern Tang soldiers, Guo Wei still thinks he is too slow. As for the bumper grain harvest, although it was a great joy, it was also expected.

At the beginning of the year, the cattle rent was abolished, and the camp land was distributed to the people free of charge, and Ye Hua's practice was borrowed, requiring each family to release slaves and encourage the cultivation of tuntian...... Under the repeated stimulation, the enthusiasm of the common people came out, and more and more land that was originally abandoned was reclaimed, and from morning to night, there were farmers busy in the fields.

Moreover, Guo Wei reused Fan Qian, Wang Pu and other civil officials, under their overall planning, the Central Plains recovered quickly, as long as God didn't look for trouble, a bumper harvest was certain!

Although food is the key to the key, Guo Wei knows it.

The only unexpected joy is Ye Hua!

In fact, this kid gave Guo Wei too many surprises, and it is no exaggeration to say that the overall situation of the entire northwest is what he single-handedly played......

destroyed Ma Duo, subdued the generals in the northwest, instigated the Yang family to stand on its own, and stabbed the Northern Han Dynasty. offered a clever strategy, got rid of Murong Yanchao, and then settled the party, went out to Linzhou, broke the strong enemy with a weak brigade, and once again defeated the attack of the Northern Han...... The continuous successes are really exciting!

When people are out, everyone is willing to go up, such as Fu Yanqing, who was very reserved before, but this time he entered Beijing to face the saint, but he took the initiative to praise Ye Hua.

"Your Majesty, when Murong Yanchao took more than 10,000 people to attack Linzhou, this time Liu Chengjun claimed to be 50,000 people, but in fact there were about 30,000, and both times they were defeated in the hands of Ye Yuanjun, counting up, the traitor Liu Chong has folded nearly 50,000 people, 50,000!"

Fu Yanqing swung his fist hard, extremely excited, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also infected, yes, how many people were there in the Northern Han Dynasty?

At most, there are less than 200,000 households, 50,000 people, which is equivalent to the loss of 1 person for every 4 households, and they are still young and strong men!

For a small country, such a loss is already painful.

"The sage has a discerning eye, Ye Zhijun is clever, the command is determined, the battle of Linzhou has hit the rebel hard, he is really a young hero, and the future is terrifying!" Fu Yanqing sighed: "Murong Yanchao and Zhang Yuanhui are Liu Chong's confidants and favorite generals, plus his son Liu Chengjun failed miserably, he can't sleep!" Hahaha! ”

Originally, Guo Wei put the main force on the front line of Jinzhou, hoping that Wang Jun could fight a beautiful battle, but he didn't expect Wang Jun to stop, but it was Ye Hua who kept winning.

Intentionally planting flowers does not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade!

The hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and some ministers proposed that the people of Linzhou should be allowed to immediately cross the Yellow River and attack the hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty. At the same time, he urged Wang Jun to win as soon as possible.

For a while, everyone agreed, full of optimism. It's Fu Yanqing, although he doesn't have the mouth to praise Ye Hua, but he is not blindly optimistic, at least he doesn't believe that his son, and those little cubs can turn things around, and if he wins, it's just a fluke, just a fluke!

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Ye Lingjun can fight and win successes, all by improvisation, unpredictable. If His Majesty decrees that he must cross the Yellow River and confront the traitors, it will restrain Ye Yuanjun's talents. The old minister thought that Ye Zhijun should be given the right to make decisions, he felt that it was appropriate to do anything, and he would not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, and with Ye Zhijun's ability, he would definitely not disappoint His Majesty! ”

Guo Wei thought about it for a while, then readily agreed, and immediately made a will.

In fact, this will is very unusual!

You must know that since Guo Wei ascended the throne, he has strictly guarded against the dictatorship of military generals, Wang Jun led the troops, he sent Guo Chong and Feng Dao to supervise, and for Ye Hua, just don't send people, and give him the power to act arbitrarily, do whatever you want, just this trust makes people envious, jealous and hateful.

"It's good to be small!"

Ye Hua estimated that if he was 20 years old, Boss Guo would not be so generous. But this is just right, he doesn't want to take risks, fighting with real knives and guns on the battlefield is really dangerous.

A man like Yang Yetie, after the war, he slept for three days before he could get up.

The losses in Linzhou are also not small, calculated before and after, more than 2,000 people and horses of the Yang family have died, and there are more than 1,000 wounded, basically half of the combat effectiveness.

Of the 2,000 people brought out by Ye Hua, more than 100 were killed in battle, and basically 8 out of 100 people died.

It's horrible!

Everyone else looks like they don't care, whether they fight a war, casualties are inevitable, as long as they win, even those parents who have lost their loved ones are not so sad.

Yang Xin singled out some of the captured booty, especially pack horses and livestock, and distributed them to his family, who immediately rejoiced and forgot the pain of losing their loved ones.

In a word, life is really not worth much!

Ye Hua is not the Holy Mother's heart attack, he is just a little sad that the rabbit dies and the fox dies, if he dies in battle, he will not be much better than these people...... Ye Hua warned himself that when he was not ready, he would never want to take risks again!

"The city of Linzhou was seriously damaged, Liu Chengjun destroyed a large amount of farmland, food was scarce, and we were unable to cross the Yellow River and attack Hedong. Similarly, the Northern Han suffered two fiascos in a row, and it was impossible to quickly gather men and horses to counterattack Linzhou. My guess is that there may be a period of stalemate, but only if the Khitan does not send troops. ”

In the barracks, regardless of age, only how much real ability there is, even if you have a white beard and always lose battles, you have no status at all.

At this moment, Ye Hua is definitely very important, the people of the Yang family, as well as the group he brought, all bowed their heads and listened carefully.

"Although you can't send troops directly, it doesn't mean that there is no way to weaken the enemy. After successive defeats, the people of the Northern Han Dynasty must be panicked, and in order to support the battle, they also had to levy and extort violently, looting the people's fat and ointment. Not surprisingly, this autumn and winter, there will definitely be a large number of displaced people in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the people will be bankrupt and unable to make a living. ”

Ye Hua said: "Just now the capital sent the news, the Central Plains harvest, the treasury has a stock of grain. I have written to Your Majesty that instead of wasting food on war, it is better to use food to recruit displaced people. ”

"From now on, we will send people to infiltrate the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty and encourage the people to flee, if we can pull one more person over, the Northern Han will be weakened, as long as we pull enough people, Liu Chong's rebel thief will collapse without a fight."

This tactic is refreshing to everyone, and at first glance, it sounds a little absurd, but if you think about it carefully, there is also some truth.

Yang Xin said: "Liu Chong is brutal and warlike, the people of Hedong are miserable, our Yang family lives in Linzhou, and we do know some friends, we can let them help and bring the people over, but Linzhou is a small area, and there is not enough food to eat, so I am afraid that too many people will not be able to settle it." ”

"Don't worry about that." Ye Hua said with a smile: "The imperial court is already recruiting people to reclaim the wasteland in the northwest, and the people will be able to own a piece of land as long as they cultivate for 5 years and pay the land on time, I will greet Fan Xianggong and ask him to give an order to help settle down." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Xin said again: "Ye Yuanjun, when the people go to the northwest, they still have to pass by the party's territory, will they get in the way?" ”

"No, not only will it not, but I will do my best to help send the people to the northwest." Ye Hua said with a smile.

"W-why is that?" Yang Xin was puzzled.

Ye Hua said: "That's what I plan, every time the party sends a person to the northwest safely, you can get a salt lead, and with this salt lead, you can transport 1,000 catties of green salt into Kaifeng duty-free, General Yang, what do you think?" ”

Yang Xin is a strong party, and his ability to do business is more powerful than fighting, he calculated a little, and immediately blushed and had a thick neck, grandma's, this is a huge profit!

In the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of salt was only 10 yuan, but with frequent wars, a bucket of salt was the most expensive 150 yuan, and now there are 100 yuan......
