Chapter 43 Immigration, Zhao Ji who has no money
It is precisely because of such worries that the people of Ji and Yun Prefecture are always a little uneasy in their hearts during this most prosperous and festive New Year in history. &1t;/p>
Not only those who have husbands, sons, and fathers at home who follow Lin Chong's expedition are worried, but even most people like Feng Sanniang's family, who have no one in the army at home, are also worried. &1t;/p>
The reason is very simple, once the Liangshan army is really defeated, and the main Lin army dies in the battle array, the strength of the Liangshan army is bound to be seriously weakened or even destroyed. &1t;/p>
And those of them who relied on the Liangshan Army to live a good life are bound to return to their previous hard days. &1t;/p>
Until it was almost noon on this day, a team of knights galloped outside Nancheng, one of the most prosperous and noisy four cities of Shuibo. &1t;/p>
When countless people saw this group of knights, they stopped their steps and craned their necks to wait for news from afar. &1t;/p>
Because they have already seen clearly, this team of knights is all dusty, and there are three small red flags behind them, who is not the messenger of the Liangshan army to deliver emergency military information. &1t;/p>
"Great victory!" &1t;/p>
"The Lord of the Lin Army led the army to the military division of Baimaqiang Town in Western Xia to annihilate the 200,000 main forces of Brother Richard, the king of the Western Thief Jin, and beheaded Brother Richard; After the bombardment of Xingqing Mansion, a battle fell, and the thief chief Li Qianshun was captured, and now the Western Xia has destroyed the country! ”&1t;/p>
Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't believe it, the Western thieves who had been in the Great Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years had perished like this? &1t;/p>
As soon as the Liangshan army arrived, it instantly annihilated its 200,000 main force, broke through its national capital, and captured the Western Xia emperor alive. &1t;/p>
This is an unprecedented victory in foreign wars since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty! &1t;/p>
Suddenly, all the people who heard the news, whether they were wealthy businessmen and gentry or ordinary farmers, immediately cheered, and the entire Shuibo Nancheng also fell into a sea of jubilation. &1t;/p>
Speaking of which, since Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty has suffered repeated setbacks in foreign wars, so that its self-confidence has declined, and it really needs such a great victory in the war of annihilation. &1t;/p>
And the families of those soldiers who went out on the expedition finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and shouted uncontrollably with excitement. &1t;/p>
They knew that as long as they won the battle, the next reward would definitely be more than they imagined. &1t;/p>
You must know that the Liangshan Army has always taken out half of the capture as a reward, and the sergeants of Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City before were not all rich? &1t;/p>
It's too common to win a battle and reward a few hundred, this time to defeat Western Xia and capture the capital of a country, can this capture be less? &1t;/p>
And other ordinary people who were worried about the collapse of the Liangshan army in the Western Xia, at this time, were full of contempt for the scholars, gentry and local tyrants who had spread remarks before and did not look down on the Liangshan army's trip. &1t;/p>
I can see it, these people just can't see Liang Shanjun good! &1t;/p>
I still believed in their words so much before, I felt that they were all Wenqu stars in the sky, and they had seen the world's big officials and masters, and their knowledge was better than ours, right? I was worried about it for so long. &1t;/p>
Now that I think about it, it is these people who are looking forward to the defeat of the Liangshan army in their hearts. &1t;/p>
Also, if it weren't for the Liangshan Army to let us live a good life, and they were not allowed to oppress the people, I was afraid that we would still be oppressed and bullied by them, of course they wouldn't have seen the Liangshan Army well. &1t;/p>
It seems that in the future, these people will not be able to believe their words, or they will still believe in Liang Shanjun...... &1t;/p>
With this thought in mind, in the evening of the same day, those prestigious scholars, squires, and local tyrants in various places were ridiculed and questioned by these honest farmers, and they were only speechless in anger. &1t;/p>
- Didn't you say that the Western Thief is very strong, and the Liangshan Army may not be able to win, how do you say it now? &1t;/p>
Time passed quickly, and in a short period of time, the news of Liangshan's army's victory again spread throughout the entire Shuibo in an instant, and every village in Ji and Yun Prefectures was naturally cheering and excited. &1t;/p>
Then the next day, there was even more exciting news. &1t;/p>
"In this battle, my Liangshan army broke through the Western Thief Xingqing Mansion, not only destroyed the Western Xia, but also captured a total of about 80 million pieces of gold and silver, and the Liangshan Army and the Western Army each divided half, a total of 40 million yuan! &1t;/p>
In addition, the Liangshan army also captured the Hetao grassland occupied by the Western thieves, and seized countless cattle, sheep and horses! You don't know, this Hetao grassland is as big as Jeju and Yunzhou, and now it is all the territory of my Liangshan army! &1t;/p>
The military master of my family said that he was going to move 20,000 families from Jeju, Yunzhou, and the entire Jingdong Road in batches. As long as you are willing to go, the cost of the whole road is covered by Liangshan Army. Each family can also get 100 acres of good water to irrigate the land, plough one cow, three sheep, and ten stones of grain! &1t;/p>
After you go, the first three years of taxation are all exempted, and after three years, only one-tenth of the public grain will be collected, and the Liangshan Army will also purchase all the grain that cannot be eaten at the market price. If you want to go, hurry up and sign up! ”&1t;/p>
As soon as this news was released, the entire Jeju and Yunju were immediately shocked, and countless people's mouths opened wide, almost unable to believe that it was true. &1t;/p>
40 million pieces of gold, silver, jewelry, money, and silk are more than 40% of the annual tax of the imperial court, plus the seized cattle, sheep and horses, so is it more than half of the imperial court's annual income? &1t;/p>
Not to mention that there is such a large piece of land as Walnut Grassland! &1t;/p>
My goodness, Liang Shanjun's money is too easy to make, right? I can earn so much wealth in two or three months after going out! &1t;/p>
Countless people looked at each other, and it felt incredible. &1t;/p>
Because in everyone's impression, fighting a war has always been the most expensive and food-consuming, and it is simply a bottomless pit. &1t;/p>
It is said that in recent years, the imperial court has used troops against Western thieves, but it has to levy Pingxia taxes every year, and even eight-year-old children have to be taxed according to their capitation. &1t;/p>
When did you not lose money in a war, but you also made so much money at once? &1t;/p>
But if you think about it carefully, everyone can see that since the Liangshan Army became an army, every time they have fought a war, they have really made money. &1t;/p>
It is said that nearly 2 million pieces of floating wealth such as gold, silver, copper and coins were seized, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, horses, donkeys and mules and other livestock, as well as 500,000 stones of grain, and even more than 100,000 stones were distributed to nearby villagers; &1t;/p>
The same is true of Zengtou City, where millions of pieces of property were seized at once; After that, I won't talk about Yunzhou City, Gaotang Prefecture, etc. &1t;/p>
Besides, when he fought the Liao State later, he gained a huge amount, not only seized countless gold and silver money, but also captured tens of thousands of Khitan and Xi mercenaries. &1t;/p>
And now these Khitan and Xi mercenaries have become the strongest combat effectiveness in the Liangshan cavalry, it is said that the Liangshan army defeated the 200,000 troops of the imperial court before, and these mercenaries have made great contributions! &1t;/p>
It seems that fighting a war can really make money, and it is a big profit! &1t;/p>
It's just that only Liang Shanjun can do this, and he earns almost every time; On the other hand, on the side of the imperial court, it is a big loss every time. &1t;/p>
For example, before the imperial court sent Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, and Liang Fangping to conquer the Liangshan army, didn't they all lose to their grandmother's house? &1t;/p>
There is also the imperial court attacking the western thieves, if there is no help from the Liangshan army, I am afraid that this battle will not be able to be won so quickly, and the Pingxia donation may have to be collected for a few more years. &1t;/p>
Countless people think like this, thinking that now that the Western thieves are destroyed, everyone's life should be better. &1t;/p>
It's just that what they don't know is that in the near future, Tong Guan led the Northern Expedition, and the imperial court had no money available, and they didn't dare to take the corrupt officials and landlords to attack the strong, so they had to levy taxes on the ordinary people again. &1t;/p>
As a result, in the north and the Central Plains, except for the surrounding areas of Liangshanbo, all other places were harmed by bandits, countless people were displaced, production was not restored, and the common people had no food to eat, and so many taxes were levied and so many people were transferred, so the entire north and the Central Plains rebelled. &1t;/p>
This is the Xuanhe Northern Rebellion in real history, but in this time and space, because of Lin Chong's appearance, the time of Tong Guan's Northern Expedition was greatly advanced, so the Xuanhe Northern Rebellion was also advanced by several years. &1t;/p>
Of course, these are all later stories, and at present, these people have just suddenly changed their concepts, from being sad when they heard about war, and disgusted with war, they have gradually become less disgusted with war, and even like war. &1t;/p>
Since fighting a war is so profitable, and the Liangshan Army is so capable of fighting, then the next time the Liangshan Army has a big war, it is best for him to participate in it, even if it is to be a civilian husband for the Liangshan Army and carry materials! &1t;/p>
Of course, it would be even better if they could join the Liangshan Army, and they also knew that the Liangshan Army not only had a good treatment, but also a more generous reward for capture! &1t;/p>
It's just that with the more and more soldiers and horses recruited by the Liangshan Army, now the number of recruits in the Liangshan Army is getting smaller and smaller, and the conditions for recruiting are getting higher and higher. &1t;/p>
Ordinary farmers, unless they are born with divine powers, or have a skill, they don't even think about joining the Liangshan Army. &1t;/p>
But even so, many people's enthusiasm for joining the army has suddenly become very high. &1t;/p>
Some families with conditions have invited martial artists to teach their children to bother their bones, practice martial arts, horseback riding and archery, etc.; Many young people are even more determined to grow up and must join the Liangshan Army. &1t;/p>
Even in the north of Jingdong, the family that originally had children who served as soldiers in the Liangshan Army did not hide it at this time, afraid that the government would investigate it, but suddenly became very high-profile. &1t;/p>
Then these people were immediately stepped through the threshold by the matchmaker. &1t;/p>
Who would have thought that the original Song Dynasty as a soldier was one of the most despised and discriminated against professions, and he would be scolded for being a thief and a soldier wherever he went, and it would be even more difficult to marry a wife. &1t;/p>
Now it has suddenly become respected and highly sought after. &1t;/p>
And this has stimulated the determination of many young people on Jingdong North Road to join the army, of course, from the Liangshan Army. &1t;/p>
However, relatively speaking, the people of Jeju and Yunzhou did not react so enthusiastically to the immigrants to the Hetao grassland, even if the conditions given by Liang Shanjun did make them very excited. &1t;/p>
It's just that Chinese have always been like this, their homeland is difficult to leave, unless they can't get by, most people are unwilling to leave their hometown to go outside to beg for a living. &1t;/p>
However, for more than a year, Liang Shanjun has tried to force the landlords and wealthy people in the two states to reduce rents and interest rates; It is also to send potatoes, corn, and pepper seeds to the local people; It is also a great water conservancy; It is also to promote biogas digesters and biogas fertilizer. &1t;/p>
In this way, the output of the land is more than four or five times higher than before, and after the rent to be paid, every household is several times higher than before, and there will be no hunger again. &1t;/p>
Not to mention that when the farm is not working, they can also go to various workshops in Liangshan to do odd jobs; The sons and daughters of the family can also be sent to the Liangshan Textile Workshop, the Cooked Food Workshop, the Medicinal Material Workshop, and the Farm Tools Workshop to work, and they get more wages than farming. &1t;/p>
In this way, almost everyone has become very good, not only will they not go hungry, but they will also pay off all the debts they owe, and they can save a lot of money. &1t;/p>
In that case, what else do you want to do in the Hetao grassland, which is thousands of miles away? &1t;/p>
Not to mention that the place is close to the Liao State, even if the Liangshan Army sends troops to garrison it, there is no guarantee that there is no danger. &1t;/p>
Thinking about it this way, the people of the two states naturally have few willing to emigrate. &1t;/p>
Soon the news was fed back to Lu Jiang and Cao Zheng, who were sitting in the four cities of Shuibo, and the two of them naturally quickly understood the reason, so they asked people to go outside and add a sentence. &1t;/p>
"All those who are willing to emigrate must go through strict screening, priority is given to those with more strong labor in the family, and priority is given to those with certain martial arts in the family, and once the Liangshan Army expands the army, it will be preferentially selected from the families of these immigrants." &1t;/p>
Then he talked in detail about the treatment and welfare of the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, the method of seizing and dividing them, and so on. &1t;/p>
In this way, many people were immediately moved, and as the same news spread to other areas other than Jeju and Yunju that were less benefited by the Yangsan army, it immediately attracted a large number of people to rush to sign up. &1t;/p>
At the same time, the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo, Bianliang City. &1t;/p>
Long before the messenger of the Liangshan army arrived at Liangshanbo, the imperial court also received an expedited 600 li from Tong Guan. &1t;/p>
Knowing that Brother Richard's 200,000 main forces were wiped out, Xingqing Mansion was destroyed, and Li Qianshun gave the news, the whole Manchu Dynasty was naturally very excited and excited! &1t;/p>
This tumor that has plagued the Great Song Dynasty for nearly a hundred years is finally about to be removed, and the continuous efforts to use troops in the Western Xia for decades have finally paid off, which is of course a great joy for the whole country to celebrate. &1t;/p>
And more importantly, first: the Western Xia has destroyed the country, and the Western Army can finally free up its hands to come back to the Beijing Division. &1t;/p>
Just wait for Tong Guan to return with his troops, and he can quickly sweep away the four thieves of Tianhu, Wang Qing, Song Jiang, and Fang La; &1t;/p>
In addition, the Western Army guarded the Beijing Division, and the imperial court would not be subject to the Liangshan Army everywhere as it is now, allowing the Liangshan Army to behave indiscriminately and buy people's hearts. &1t;/p>
Because only with the combat effectiveness of the current Dumen Forbidden Army, it is easy for the Liangshan Army to break through Bianjing City again. &1t;/p>
This is equivalent to saying that at the moment, including the emperor, the entire center of the imperial court is actually a hostage held by the Liang Shan army! &1t;/p>
The second is: to break through Xingqing Mansion and seize 40 million pieces of gold and silver at once, which can greatly solve the urgent need of the imperial court. &1t;/p>
You must know that in the past year, the imperial court has used troops against Western Xia, and has repeatedly conscripted and suppressed the Liangshan army, and the treasury has long been used up. &1t;/p>
Not only was the treasury of the imperial court empty, but even the private treasury of the official family was almost bottomed out. &1t;/p>
In the past, Yang Jian and Gao Yu used the forbidden army camp and the filial piety of Zhu Mian of the Southeast Enshrinement Bureau, and it was easy to spend all the silver coins in the inner treasury into flowing water. &1t;/p>
Even the emperor has no money to use, how can Zhao Ji, who has been spending money like flowing water all the time and is used to spending lavishly, stand it? &1t;/p>
The fault is Cao Song, Liu Weixiong, and the football league they have been running is still giving Zhao Ji a steady stream of blood transfusions, and Zhao Ji can't live this day at all. &1t;/p>
