Chapter 101: The Development of Guanzhong (2)

December 888 was destined to be an eventful autumn, the Battle of Guanzhong finally ended, Zhu Quanzhong and Yang Fugong began to fight again after the Battle of Chang'an, the reason for this is still Emperor Zhaozong. The generals Ding Hui and Niu Cunjie sent by Zhu Quanzhong successfully rebelled against Yang Fugong's subordinate Yang Yanlu under the strategy of Zheng Fan, and tore a hole in Yang Shouliang's camp of 70,000 troops, and successfully separated Zhaozong's camp from the army. And just when Yang Fugong and Yang Shouliang worked together to encircle and wipe out Yang Yanlu's army, Dinghui's reinforcements also arrived at this time and rescued Zhaozong, who was panicked.

After Zhu Quanzhong's army rescued Zhaozong, he immediately retreated directly to Luoyang regardless of it, and Niu Cunjie and Yang Fugong, who were responsible for the broken war, started a big battle more than 100 miles south of Tongguan, and blocked Yang Shouliang's desperate attack with an inferior force of more than 10,000 people, and in this battle of more than ten days, more than 10,000 people were almost wiped out, and he himself was seriously injured at the cost of successfully completing the task of interception, and when Zhu Quanzhong's reinforcements arrived, there were only more than 1,000 people left in the whole army. But it almost beat Yang Shouliang's 70,000 army and almost collapsed. Yang Fugong saw that there was nothing to do, so he could only lead the army south, and lost control of the emperor forever.

And this war, which was later called the war that changed Yang Fugong's fate, was also closely watched by the Tiance Army Xuan Yingwei on the side, and Zheng Fan's ability to insert chess pieces was regarded as a classic case of Xuan Yingwei's internal training.

However, with Emperor Zhaozong being snatched away by Zhu Quanzhong, Guanzhong finally ushered in real peace and peace, except for Wang Houchun and Li Maozhen in Hanzhong while fighting a war of words while taking this place that was positioned as a logistics base by Tiance Mansion, Guanzhong Plain has become a huge construction site. In the north-south direction, from Fengzhou through Xiazhou, Yanzhou, Linzhou, Fangzhou to Chang'an, this straight road of more than 2,000 miles began to be built in sections, and the cities along the way were under the unified command of the logistics department, except for a part of the local people who were called to work for relief, the rest of the prisoners of war were all the main labor force, for which the logistics department specially sent people to Xiazhou and Sanfeng, purchased a large number of cattle and horses, and sent them to Yang Yi, the commander-in-chief of the road, to ensure the progress of the project.

In the east-west direction, this is starting from Lingzhou along the Chang'an Ancient Road, the original road will be rebuilt and widened, and Sanhetu will be added as the main road repair material. Compared to the north-south direction, the east-west straight is much less difficult. Chang'an has always been the ancient capital of the dynasty, coupled with the political center of the glorious dynasty of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the road foundation is very good, and the roadbed of the ancient road is very solid, so the engineering team is basically mainly repairing.

After Tiance Fu occupied Guanzhong, in addition to building roads, the most important thing was to put it on water conservancy construction and farmland reclamation. In accordance with the previous agricultural policy of Tiance Prefecture, the Department of Agriculture issued a special notice on agriculture in Tiance Prefecture, all land in Guanzhong area is distributed in accordance with the re-measurement of the Department of Agriculture of Tiance Prefecture, and the land that has been abandoned for more than one year will be nationalized, and all land sales within three years will be investigated. At the same time, according to the actual situation, the Department of Agriculture will distribute seeds to each farming household free of charge in the first year to ensure that farming can be carried out normally.

The release of this news has brought about two great social effects. First of all, there are those who live at the bottom of the extreme poverty, these exhausted people who have nothing and are tormented by the war, for which this is undoubtedly a great good thing, and the Chinese peasants have land, a stable life, and hope. When the news came, everyone couldn't believe it, but as the Department of Agriculture began to measure the land with the cooperation of the army, and the Department of Civil Affairs also issued land lease certificates to the people who had completed their registration, the people's hearts exploded. After more than 100 years of war, Guanzhong once again ushered in the outbreak of social development. Under the spontaneous propaganda of the people who got the land, everyone began to talk about it, and the enthusiasm for work was raised again, and many projects could not be completed before the end of the year, but with the spontaneous efforts of the people who were inspired to live their lives, they were completed ahead of schedule.

However, the policy of the Department of Agriculture of Tiance Prefecture has undoubtedly violated the interests of those big landlords in Guanzhong, although there are not many big landlords in Guanzhong, but these families who have not fallen through the war are the most terrible families, they not only control a large amount of wealth and land, but also establish private armies in the troubled times, build dock forts, gather a large number of slaves and people, and try to deal with those chaotic soldiers, bandits and thieves in peacetime. However, under the circumstance that Tiance Mansion unified Guanzhong, this phenomenon was incompatible with the policies promulgated by the new regime, and became the biggest obstacle after Tiance Mansion entered Guanzhong.

"In that case, let the Patrol Department and the Law Court directly take action, and notify the General Staff to let the garrisons in various places cooperate with the Patrol and Arrest Department." At the temporary office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Furong Garden in Chang'an City, Li Xuanqing threw aside the information in his hand and said coldly to Tuoba Siji and Hu Xiaosi, who came to report. Tuoba Sizhi is in charge of farmland and water conservancy, so these things are reported directly after he encounters them, Cen Tianshi is either busy with the Department of Industry and Commerce and the Logistics Department to complete the industrial transfer or nail the river opening project.

"But my lord, how many of these families are a little special, do you want to think about it again?" Tuoba Si admonished a little embarrassed: "The Qin family is the world's first weapons manufacturing family, the family is the guest of honor of the envoys of various festivals in Guanzhong all the year round, and almost the high-end weapons in the entire northwest, including Sichuan, are from this family, and the Wei family has not fallen for thousands of years, and the family heritage is unlimited, is it inappropriate for us to act rashly?" ”

Hu Xiaosi disagreed with Tuoba Si's opinion, and said coldly: "You can't say that, if these five families are either powerful, or have a transcendent status, or have special abilities, then where is the credibility of my Tiance Mansion?" My opinion is to treat everyone equally, subject to the policy promulgated by the Department of Agriculture, if the time limit is exceeded, if you still regard the law as nothing, and try in vain to resist the model of Tiance Fu, then you will be the enemy of our Tiance Fu. And these big families have gone to the opposite side of the people's hearts, if we can't pull out these nails, then in the eyes of the people, wouldn't they be the same as Yang Fugong and Li Maozhen? ”

"Xiao Si is right, don't be afraid of the head and tail, for those who resist the policies of the Tiance Mansion must be uprooted, the troubled times use heavy codes, Guanzhong has gone through war, everything withered, we have the hope of the people, we should conform to the will of the people, and we can't easily change our own ideas because of a special family, so that we will lose the hearts of the people sooner or later. Law enforcement lies in treating everyone equally, and the law is not merciful. Xuan Yingwei cooperated with the Patrol Department, and it was important to handle this matter well. Li Xuanqing nodded, took Hu Xiaosi's words and continued.

Tuoba Si Jian also knew that what the two of them said was reasonable, but he had not been able to do things as freely as Li Xuanqing and others since he returned to the Tiance Mansion, so he took a deep breath and said: "Please rest assured that the Lord knows how to do it, and he will definitely not go against the will of the people and the will of the Lord Gong." ”

Li Xuanqing nodded and said with a smile: "Little Fourth, since Brother Si said that these families have a lot of good things hidden in their homes, you Xuanyingwei should prepare in advance, don't give me cheap others." In addition, I informed Murong and asked him to invite those businessmen and families who have a good relationship with Tiance Mansion to hold an investment promotion meeting in Tiance Mansion in the name of me and Mr. Cen. We want to fight and pull at the same time, disintegrate the forces of all strata in Guanzhong, and also provide a template for entering other places in the future. By the way, Brother Siji, if there are any people in your party who are doing good business, you can also participate, and you will be specially granted a quota. ”

Hu Xiaosi said with a smile: "Lord, when I was in Xiazhou, I heard that there was a famous businessman in the Dangxiang Xifeng clan, I forgot what it was called, but recently I had a fight with the Yelu family, and the business of the two families was almost the same." After saying that, he waved his hand at the two and walked out. Xuan Yingwei has had too many things recently, and he has been involved in a wide range of areas, and he is also busy with his feet not touching the ground.

Li Xuanqing didn't pay attention to Hu Xiaosi's hurry, and smiled at Tuoba Siji: "Then let the Xifeng clan come when the time comes." Is there anything else you have to say? ”

Tuoba Si Yan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "A few days ago, the high priest asked people to bring five thousand cows and ten thousand horses, which we donated to Tiance Mansion for free. It's just that the logistics department said that it could not accept the materials donated for free, and the materials are still outside Chang'an City. ”

Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Didn't the logistics department already send someone to buy it?" With so many materials donated, how will the party and the people spend this winter? ”

"Please rest assured, these are all donated by a few patriarchs and people with rich family resources, and they will not affect the lives of ordinary clansmen. Since the party joined Tiance Mansion, it has really benefited from it, and we also want to make some contributions to this world. Tuoba Sizhi said with a hint of emotion.

"Well, it's rare to put the people of the world first." Li Xuanqing nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Brother Si will put these materials into the warehouse and use them in a suitable place." In addition, take me to tell the parents and villagers of the party, and say that I, Li Xuanqing, thank you. ”

When the Tiance Mansion was going all out to use the displaced people to carry out various projects, the Weijia branch in Guanzhong also began to move, and after clearly refusing the request of the Department of Agriculture, it unexpectedly began to gather its private soldiers to prepare to forcibly rush to the river and retreat to the river. The news reached the General Staff of the Tiance Army, which made Xu Tianxiang and the others feel inexplicably funny, if the Tiance Army couldn't even deal with them, then the previous battle would be in vain. At this time, the news of Xuan Yingwei also came, Xu Tianxiang was no longer polite after knowing Hu Xiaosi's arrangement, and in late December 888, he surrounded this huge private army group of 20,000 people near Fangzhou, and the cavalry of the party cavalry battalion responsible for encircling and annihilating it was completely disrupted in a few charges, and the Weijia Guanzhong family Wei Xun led by him was captured, and the others dispersed in a hurry.

After the Tiance army simply and neatly suppressed the rebellion of the Wei family, the army marched into the Wei family's base camp in Guanzhong, Pizhou City, and directly arrested all the people in the Weijiawu Fort, this copy of the family also gave a great deterrent to the follow-up several big families, and the main trunk of the Wei family was sentenced to death after the trial of the law court, and hundreds of bloody heads fell to the ground, and the remaining accomplices were also arrested into the prisoner of war camp for labor reform.

Taking the opportunity of the uprooting of the Wei family, the Tiance Mansion once again issued a warning in all cities in Guanzhong, and anyone and group who dared to ignore the government's announcement and openly oppose the policies of the Tiance Mansion would be dealt with strictly and would not tolerate anyone. At the same time, he stressed that the starting point of all the policies formulated by Tiance Mansion is to put the interests of the broad masses of the people first, and truly put the people in the first place in governance.

When the news came out, the people's hearts in Guanzhong boiled again, and this time those ill-intentioned families were completely isolated, and the manpower under their own control was gradually disintegrated in this tide. The remaining four remaining families, led by the Qin family, also began to act urgently. The clouds in Guanzhong were shrouded again. In this special war, although the Tiance Mansion led by Li Xuanqing was young, it had a weapon that transcended the times - land reform.

On the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, the land policy of Tiance Mansion was also officially promulgated, and with the full efforts of the Civil Affairs Department and the help of the garrison, all the displaced people in Guanzhong were settled, which meant that all the land was transferred. The proclamation of the "Outline of the Land Law of the Tang Dynasty" also promulgated the land policy of Tiance Prefecture in the form of a formal document for the first time, systematically expounding the nature, use and tax payment methods of land. It was also the first time in China's history that a programmatic document clearly defined land and peasants. With the help of the knowledge of later generations, Li Xuanqing released this big killing weapon nearly a thousand years in advance, and suddenly one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and after winning the support of all the low-level people, he also completely offended all the landlord classes in the world. In order to reduce his resistance and shape a new social class, in addition to redefining the state-owned nature of state farms and other enterprises, the industrial and commercial class that Li Xuanqing had worked hard to build also began to emerge, and gradually grew with Li Xuanqing's full support.
