Chapter 159: Unexpected Joy

There are more than 100,000 people in Julu City, and it is impossible to kill them in a short time, Gao Shun doesn't want to kill them like this, and when he rushes to the east gate, he asks the soldiers to shout "Surrender or kill!" ”。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

As many soldiers joined in the shouting, the sound of "surrender or kill" filled the city, which could be heard near and far.

The killing stopped, and there was a brief silence in the city.

The people who reacted immediately fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

When people saw that the Youzhou army had really stopped killing, they no longer desperately squeezed towards the city gate, and all knelt down and surrendered on the spot.

Gao Shun was very satisfied with this outcome, and ordered his escort cavalry to patrol the city, and the remaining officers and soldiers gathered their weapons, escorted all those who surrendered out of the city, and waited in line for arrangement.

Queue up to go out of the city from the four gates at the same time, and there are five queues at each gate, and the speed of getting out of the city is very fast. After leaving the city, each platoon was in one direction, and every hundred men stood in one line, and each cavalry was in charge of a hundred men, and each of them was in charge of a thousand men.

The survivors were cleared in just over an hour, and more than 83,000 men, women, and children remained.

As for the seriously injured who could not get out of the city gates, it could only help them to end their suffering.

Gao Shun first issued an announcement that the government would not give up on them, but would resettle them so that they could live a good life, and each family could be divided into ten acres of land, and they could settle places in the afternoon to start cultivating late-yielding crops, and the government would provide the necessary agricultural tools and seeds; One stone of grain per person per month, until the autumn harvest, only thirty percent of the tax, if there is conscription, the government will manage the food, and the time will not exceed a month; Those who wish to continue in the military will also be paid on time.

These measures quickly stabilized the people's morale.

These measures were a compromise plan that Gao Shun came up with based on the letter sent back by Fang Liang from Qingzhou, which could not let the peasants' burden be too heavy and let them gradually stabilize, but also not endanger the interests of the scholars too much.

Gao Shun planned that after Julu County was completely pacified, in addition to distributing part of the ownerless land to meritorious soldiers at all levels, it would also be sold to the scholars, so that they would be psychologically balanced and would not be opposed by the local scholars.

After lunch, Qingzhuang was organized to clean up the city and transport all the corpses out of the city, and some Qingzhuang dug pits to bury the corpses in the south of the city for 3 miles, otherwise it would be too easy for plague to occur in such a hot weather.

In the end, there were 27,000 corpses of various sizes; Gao Shun lamented that war is the fastest way to consume the population, no wonder there were only a few million people left in the country at the end of the Three Kingdoms, and there was not one in ten people.

There are also a lot of people who have escaped from the city, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, Gao Shun will not pursue it, and will temporarily settle these survivors.

Gao Shun thought about it for a while and came up with a way to deal with it, first resettle people whose families are from Julu County.

Each county appoints a county magistrate, and each county shouts to which county, and which county the people follow the county magistrate to stay alone, and then divide the townships, each township is a statistical unit, and first let everyone find their family members or relatives, or they can temporarily form families.

The locals of Julu County returned to their hometowns to resettle, and the outsiders were resettled in the nearest counties, and the people from each county were resettled in one county, so that they could find surviving family members; Julu County is located in the plain area, with fertile land and convenient irrigation water sources, which can house a large number of farmers and reduce the great trouble of Gaoshun.

However, there are many counties around that have been barren, and this number of people is simply not enough to resettle; Gao Shun ordered the counties, and thereafter recruited a large number of displaced people to settle the land.

Many people consider that farming will start now, and the autumn harvest must not be much, so in order to subsidize their families and feed their relatives, many people apply to join the army.

In the end, 3 tun cavalry and 8 tun infantry were selected, which made Gao Shun very satisfied; The only regret is that the Yellow Turban Lux escaped, otherwise more officers and soldiers would be selected.

When Gao Shun was rectifying the army, Li Qiang came to quietly pull Gao Shun away.

Looking at the piles of wealth, Gao Shun burst into laughter.

The property of the Zhen family was confiscated, with a value of less than one million, and the rest were fixed assets such as land and shops; The wealth of the Yellow Turban Army in Julu City was confiscated, and the exchange points given by the system were tens of millions, which was more than ten times the wealth of the Zhen family, and there were countless gold, copper coins, jade, etc.

Gao Shun said secretly, Zhang Jiao can really collect money, there must be many big families and wealthy landlords who have been looted, and they just cheapen him; This is really a rare huge wealth, which is worth the taxes of the Han Dynasty in the past two years.

It is no wonder that in history, Zhang Rang asked for a bribe of 50 million yuan from Huangfu Song at one time, which was really drizzle compared with the seizure.

Tens of millions of points are enough for Gao Shun to squander, and from then on, he no longer worries about points.

Now Gao Shun has neither a shortage of synthetic quotas nor points, the only thing that gives him a headache is that he occupies too little territory, the system cannot be upgraded, and new classes cannot be unlocked, and now the speed of synthesis is too slow, unable to keep up with the demand, and forced to use a large number of natural people.

Li Qiang said: "Lord, the speed of our attack this time is too fast, the Yellow Turban generals and Zhang Jiao and others all fled empty-handed, and they didn't have time to transfer their wealth at all, so they seized so much." ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Haha, yes, then let's take our time and let Zhang Liang of Guangzong City collect more wealth for us." ”

"Don't get your hopes up, Guangzong's seizure is at most similar to Zhang Bao's Xiaquyang, not too much; The reason why Julu City has so much wealth is because the surrounding Qu Shuai donated a part of the seizure to Zhang Jiao, and all the donations of the believers are also here, this is his base camp, and Guangzong does not have these advantages. ”

is similar to Xiaquyang, which is also a huge wealth, and Gao Shun doesn't want to miss it. However, he believes that the first place where Zhang Jiao started was the two cities of Julu and Guangzong, and the rich families in and around the area were plundered before they could transfer their wealth; The reason why there are few seizures in Xiaquyang is because of the late time of the incident, when the Yellow Turban thieves arrived, many rich families had transferred their wealth and fled; Therefore, the wealth of Gwangjong City must be huge.

Gao Shun asked, "Who discovered the warehouse here?" Has there been any leaked information? ”

"Rest assured, the lord found out that it was the high-ranking infantry, and they immediately blocked this place, and no one knew."

Gao Shun was overjoyed, in this case, all the wealth was his, and there was no need to report it to the emperor, so he said: "Let's keep the wealth, and the grain will be distributed as soon as possible, and each person will be given a stone of grain first, so as to stabilize people's hearts and cover up the seizure." ”

"Yes, my lord." Li Qiang suggested: "My lord, we have obtained enough and great achievements, should we give Guangzong's military exploits to others?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Hehe, even if we give up our war exploits, we will not ease the tension with the Shi clan, and we will lose so much wealth in vain, which is not in our interests; And it will expose the fact that we have seized a large number of things, which will make the scholars hate us even more, and they will think that the money itself is theirs and should be returned to them, won't we suffer a big loss? As long as the strength is strong, you don't need to care about other people's opinions, at present, you just need to make good friends with the eunuchs, we have no dissent, and Your Majesty will support us. ”

"My lord is thoughtful."

Gao Shun asked, "Yun Chang and Yide, they haven't heard any news yet?" ”

"Not yet, the lord doesn't have to worry, the yellow turban thieves who can keep the four of them don't exist at all."

"What is the record of the imperial court's three-way army?"

Li Qiang said: "Lord, the yellow scarves are swarming, the road is impassable, and it is difficult to transmit information back, and it seems that the record is not good." ”

"Then don't rush to attack Guangzong City, rest here for a few days before setting off."

"Yes, my lord!"
