In the past six months, the three places under the Yun family have been recuperating and recuperating, so that Zezhou, which has suffered great damage due to natural disasters and wars, has regained some vitality, and the autumn harvest has also made the people of Zezhou have a lot of smiles on their faces.

A family of four, two adults, two minors, a total of 30 acres of land, an average of 200 catties of millet per mu of land, 30 acres of land is 6,000 catties, after deducting 10% of agricultural tax, there are 5,400 catties left.

The purchase price of the Yun family and other merchants for millet is six copper coins to six and a half copper coins a catty, only six copper catties and one catty, 5,400 catties of millet is 32,400 copper, which is three gold and 24 silver, if the peasant sells all the millet in his hand, he will get three gold and 24 silver, but it also needs to deduct 20% of the commercial tax, and the final net income of the peasant is 2 gold and 59 silver. (The cost is not calculated, and most farmers have seeds in their hands)

Two gold and fifty-nine silver, this is probably an astronomical amount that all farmers have never seen in their lives.

Before the Yun clan took control of Zezhou, most of the fields in Zezhou were owned by families and large and small landlords, and there were not many people who supported their own fields, and most of the people could only cultivate the land for the landlords for the tenants who became landlords.

The peasant households who own their own fields are not living well, and the agricultural tax of the Dali Empire is also one of ten taxes, but there are many other miscellaneous taxes, and there are local officials who collect taxes indiscriminately without permission, and the peasant households can have half of the grain left, and even in some areas, the life of the yeoman farmers is worse than that of the tenants, and these farmers eventually have to sell their fields to become tenants, after all, the landlords and the family have more or less some relationship with the government officials, and the exploitation of the tenants is slightly lighter than that of the yeoman farmers.

Now everything has changed, originally some people were sad because their families died in the war, but suddenly got the government (Yun's) to give the people the land, and then the people learned that the government collects very little taxes, only the people do not sell the grain in their hands, only ten taxes and one agricultural tax, there is no other miscellaneous taxes, so that 100 million is calculated, the people's annual income is probably more than twice as much as before, and this is indeed the case.

The joy of the harvest made the people smile, and a happy life had arrived, and when they were laughing, they did not forget to thank the Lord Yun (Yunyi, publicized by the low-level officials) who brought them all this, and they set up immortal tablets for Yunyi at home.

Because of the money and food in their hands, they no longer need to worry about their future life, and the common people have begun to consider having a few more children so that they can inherit the lineage.

This is also the reason why Yun Yi saw that the population of the three places under his rule was relatively small, but he did not order to encourage the people to have more children, and there was no need for the Yun family to give various rewards, under the deep-rooted thinking of inheritance, as long as the people could afford it, they would have a few more children, and now that the people have money and food in their hands, they will naturally be ready to have a few more.

In addition, there are some peasant women who died because of the war and consider looking for other men to form a new family, no matter how much women can insist, they are a vulnerable group in the life of male superiority and inferiority, only men can shelter them from the wind and rain, and it is the best choice to form a new family, basically in every large-scale war, this situation will occur, and the literati and scholars are not good to say anything about this matter.

A bumper year, so that the people in the three places under the rule of the Yun family can have enough to eat, and the money in their hands has also increased, part of the money is stored by the people for backup, and the rest of the money is used to buy cloth, livestock, living tools and other things, these things are naturally to be purchased from the hands of merchants, so as to promote the commercial development of Zezhou.

A small number of ordinary people saw the opportunity to make money and took out a sum of money to try to do business, but more of them were the businessmen who were originally in Yunhua County to expand their industries to all parts of Zezhou, and the leaders were the Yun family and the Yunhua family.

The branches of Yun's firm have spread all over the three places under Yun's rule, at least to the county-level area, and sell various industrial products such as mirrors, white paper, kitchen utensils, agricultural tools and other things produced in Yunhua County and even Yingzhou to various places.

As for selling these industrial products to other regions of the Dali Empire, Yunyi has no plans for the time being, on the one hand, because of the lack of manpower to build more factories, on the other hand, the importance of money to Yunyi is no longer great, the wealth in the hands of the Yun family is as much as tens of millions of gold, and it will only increase in the future, the Yun family will not be short of money at all, the purpose of developing business is to make the lives of the people in the three places under the Yun family better, and also to let the people of the three places support the Yun family just like the people of Tongzhou support the Guangming Sect.

At the same time of the development of agriculture and commerce, the industry completely controlled by the Yun family is also developing steadily, limited by human resources, except for the steel mill, arsenal, paper mill, printing factory and other parts of the factory scale further expanded, other factories did not increase manpower, just as much as possible to improve production efficiency, in order to improve the scale of industry.

For the time being, various factories will only be established in Yunhua County or Yingzhou.

After Yunyi completely controlled Zezhou, although the army in Yunyi's hands did not expand on a large scale, it was also in the process of steady expansion.

The army is mainly composed of two parts, the first part is the Yunjia army, and the second part is the city defense army.

The city defense army, that is, the army stationed in each city in the three places, each city has a minimum of about 100 people, and more than 1,000 people, and is equipped with cold weapons, with a total number of 18,000 people.

The Yunjia Army, the main battle force, has the first division, the second division, the cavalry division plus a heavy artillery brigade.

The first division and the second division are both standard divisions, which are mixed units of cold weapons and firearms, and a standard division has two second brigades and six regiments, plus a cavalry regiment (1,000 cavalry) and an artillery regiment, plus other miscellaneous small parts, the total number of a standard division has reached more than 13,500 people, while the establishment of one army in the imperial court and other families is only 12,500 people.

At present, the 1st and 2nd Divisions are stationed in the northwest and northeast of Zezhou respectively to guard against forces in Hezhou and Laizhou.

At present, the cavalry division is stationed in Yingzhou, with a total of more than 5,000 cavalry, and is actively training in Yingzhou, transforming into an indomitable iron cavalry on the battlefield as soon as possible.

The Heavy Artillery Brigade, which was expanded from the previous Heavy Artillery Regiment, was equipped with thirty five-inch guns.

The total number of troops of the Yunjia army has reached 34,000 people, plus the city defense army, the total strength of the army in Yunyi's hands has reached more than 52,000 people, although this strength is more than the strength of any of the five major families in Laizhou and Hezhou, but the Yunjia army, which is equipped with a large number of firearms, is unimaginable, Yunyi has enough confidence to defend Zezhou with the existing forces in his hands, Zezhou is not lost, and Yunhua County and Yingzhou overseas are naturally not any threat.
