It can be said that there is no way out of this strategy, Qianlong is not a fool, his Manchu Dynasty civil and military are not all fools, and bandits who know how to divide land to the common people are not bandits.

It's like a couple of rats in your house stealing something from you, and you can at most have a cat or put a mouse trap in it, but if a thief or robber comes to your house and not only steals your things, but also wants to take your house for himself, then will you be indifferent?

Therefore, Li Qingyuan must be prepared for an all-out confrontation when he is ready to divide the land and divide the land. It's really not good, because at this stage of development, Li Qingyuan feels that he has encountered a new bottleneck, and if he wants to continue to develop and grow, he must make changes.

Just like this attack on Jiexiu, it is said that it is to punish traitor merchants, but in fact it is just to raise funds and fabrics.

But now, Li Qingyuan's team, plus some others in Luliangshan in Shandong, also have 40,000 or 50,000 people, and these people, food, clothing, training, military salaries, and weapons and equipment are all piled up with money and materials.

It can be said that since Li Qingyuan entered Taihang, there has not been a day when he has not been robbing rich businessmen from all over the country, and there has not been a day when he has not been worried about the collection of various materials for the team.

But now that the team has expanded and there are more people, it is a bit insufficient to rely on robbery alone, so either the scale and scope of the robbery will be expanded, or it will not develop anymore.

What Li Qingyuan is doing now is to expand the scope of robbery while finding ways to obtain new channels for collecting materials.

There is no industry, there is no trade, and the only way to think of it is to control the little land in the area, and only by dividing the land can Li Qingyuan collect taxes openly.

It's not that you can't collect it now, but you can't collect many things, and there aren't many righteous gifts in the Qing Dynasty, so Li Qingyuan can't collect a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes like the Qing court, right?

So if you want to collect more taxes, you must first reduce the burden on the people, and the people will support it, otherwise follow you and follow the Qing court, and even collect more taxes, so talk about the people's hearts and minds?

Since you want to make 100 people get benefits, then you must move some people's cheese, and there are a number of land outputs, the government will take a part, the landlord will take a part, and finally the tenants will keep a part.

The government is taking away about 20 percent of the money plus the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the landlords take 50 to 60 percent, so the people really get only 20 to 30 percent of the grain in their hands, which is why many peasants still rely on wild vegetables to survive on 10 acres of land.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan distributed the fields to the households, even if the output was divided with the people, it was equivalent to increasing the income of the people.

But if you don't move the landlord's part, you will only receive 20% and it will be no different from the Qing court, and the landlords and the people will get benefits, Li Qingyuan will get benefits, only the landlords will suffer, and the loss of a small number of people's interests will make most people benefit, which is always a good thing!

The only psychological burden is the unfairness of the part of the township that does rely on their own hard work to accumulate the family business, but so what? In the face of the general trend, if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die, if you don't understand this truth, you deserve to be suppressed!

Another problem to pay attention to is the clan power, not all the landlords after the fall of the land to the tenants, everyone will be grateful to Dade, now the imperial power is not under the county, most of the countryside is still controlled by those clans, in the countryside, the clan rules are even greater than the national law.

These clans will pay a little attention to the love of the same clan, flesh and blood, and the exploitation is not so excessive, Li Qingyuan broke this total distribution system, for a stupid man and a foolish woman with a rigid brain, it is easy to be instigated by the clan to cause confrontation.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan could not do this matter as soon as he came up, and even now, Li Qingyuan did not dare to blindly ask all troops to immediately implement the policy of dividing the land.

Rather, it is necessary to wait for the establishment of a stable base area, the establishment of a new order, and the further strengthening of the strength of the contingent before doing this work.

In the days that followed, each sent troops to sort out the villages in his county, while Li Qingyuan threw himself into the construction of a new weapons workshop.

Liuzi's side is the only known coal and iron production area, and although the scale of the iron ore here is not large, it is enough to be used for a short time.

With the development of the production of firearms in various base areas, Li Qingyuan gradually found that his blind pursuit of range and accuracy had to be a rifled gun.

Now it seems that this smoothbore gun is enough to use, and rifled guns not only waste a lot of time and manpower, but also the advantages obtained are not so intuitive.

At present, not only the various sub-bases are mainly engaged in the production of smoothbore guns, but Li Qingyuan's new base in Taihang also intends to focus on the production of smoothbore guns.

Really one day the Qing army also produced this kind of gun, it is not too late to load the gun, these months to lead the rebel army, Li Qingyuan gradually understood the importance of ordinary heart, before Li Qingyuan still held the psychology of playing real-time strategy games, holding back the big move, climbing the technology tree, and so on to reach the highest technology, produce the best weapons in a wave of flat push the enemy.

Playing Red Alert will be apocalyptic, playing the empire must be upgraded to the age of firearms, this general idea is not practical to get now, the enemy is in front of you, there is no time to wait for you to develop slowly there, you don't need to be stronger than the enemy for an era, you just need to be a little stronger than him, then a victory and a victory accumulation, in the end you will find that in fact, this little gap determines the result.

Of course, Li Qingyuan doesn't need a craftsman to teach him now, as long as he gives a general direction, the people below will naturally do it according to his wishes, and they will come to ask him if they need to get ideas.

Just as Li Qingyuan was immersed in combing the workshop, Hou Zheng came with news that General Xi'an had led 20,000 Qing troops to cross the river from Xi'an to encircle and suppress the bandits in Lüliang.

Now that he has arrived in Yan'an Mansion, he is organizing boats to cross the river, and the enemy who came this time not only has the green battalion soldiers, but also the serious Eight Banners soldiers with 2,000 soldiers.

Only then did Li Qingyuan remember that there was a city in the west, and there were also Manchurian Eight Banners stationed there.

Just like Gu Shun, the general of Xi'an who led the army this time, is the military position of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and he is generally the position of managing Manchuria.

Hou Zheng's information is very limited, and he only knows that this Gu Shun participated in the Western Expedition and was a general promoted because of his merits, but he doesn't know what kind of merits he has.

Li Qingyuan didn't blame Hou Zheng, after all, it was not easy for the intelligence network to obtain such important information.

Originally, Li Qingyuan was like doing something big in Luliang, but this time the Xi'an general brought people to call Li Qingyuan, and this time he didn't engage in any guerrillas, nor did he bring in any woods, Li Qingyuan planned to attack in a half-way and defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop!
