In the current Xiangyang court, Taifu Lu Zhi is seriously ill and bedridden, Taishi Cai Yong and Taibao Ma Riyan are all involved in the rebellion because of their protégés, and they all have no face to continue to preside over the government. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jin Liang saw Yuan Shao's recital, laughed at it, neither agreed, nor opposed, did not say agree because Yuan Shao's behavior could not be connived at, not to say that the opposition was because the central army was tired after a long war, Jizhou and Bingzhou continued to fight and affect the economy, Jizhou was thousands of miles away from Jingzhou, and the whip was out of reach, Yuan Shao won Jingzhou with great momentum, and did not sweep the north of the Yellow River, so Yuan Shao could not be offended for the time being.

Jin Liang thought again that if the Xiangyang Imperial Court did not give Yuan Shao a formal appointment for a day, Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, would be illegitimate, and when the central army swept away the other princes, he could calmly settle old accounts with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao did not receive the official edict from the Xiangyang court, he did not care, and declared that the Xiangyang court acquiesced, wantonly appointed county officials, regarded the counties of Jingzhou and the adjacent Runan County as his own ** kingdom, and began to vigorously develop his own power.

Jin Liang's current tentacles cannot touch the Yangtze River Valley, so he can only let the dark department send some more agents to lurk in the prefectures, counties and counties south of the Yellow River to investigate the news, so as to make strategic arrangements such as combining vertical and horizontal in a timely manner, and the most appropriate arrangement is to support Sun Jian to follow Yuan Shu closely to deal with Yuan Shao, so that the Yuan brothers can evenly consume each other's forces south of the Yellow River.

Since Jin Liang could not use troops south of the Yellow River, he made every effort to manage the north of the Yellow River, and now he is busy reorganizing the troops of those family rebels.

Following the rebellion of those big families, there were nearly 200,000 people who returned to the central army, and if they were replaced by other princes, they might all be added to the ranks of the regular army at once, and Jin Liang was the best of the best, first selecting more than 10,000 strong and good water to supplement Lu Dai's Bohai Sea Division and Ganning's Yellow River Water Division, and then according to a certain elite level, gradually replenish the troops.

In recent months, with frequent conquests, the number of casualties caused by the Central Army's casualties and serious disability reached more than 50,000, and Jin Liang gave priority to selecting elite soldiers from the county soldiers with a certain training foundation to supplement the ranks of the soldiers, and then selected the elite from the county soldiers, field protection soldiers, and family soldiers to supplement the ranks of auxiliary soldiers, and the remaining elite soldiers of the family soldiers were added to the county soldiers, and then the rest were added to the camp of county soldiers and field protection soldiers, and finally all the rest were allocated to the Tuntian Corps as ordinary Tuntian soldiers.

In all the troops of the Xiangyang Imperial Court, Jin Liang maintained a certain elite level, the first level is his guard division of 40,000 horses, the second level is other divisions of the Central Army, the third level is the county soldiers, elite field guards, the fourth level of county soldiers, field guards, the fifth level of township soldiers, the treatment is a level down, training requirements are also a level down, if training and combat do not work hard, it is possible to go down step by step, if it is training and combat efforts, it will also go up step by step, as the so-called capable people go up and down the mediocre, Only by maintaining this mechanism of flowing up and down can the combat effectiveness of the army be maintained, otherwise, like the hereditary army of some dynasties, the combat effectiveness of the army will collapse sooner or later.

The training of the Central Army is very strict, and the military discipline is almost strict, but those soldiers of the family rebels are very enthusiastic to join the Central Army, even if they do not join the Central Army now, they will first go to the field protection soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers It is better than the lackeys of the original family.

In the final analysis, the reason why those soldiers were able to burst out with such enthusiasm was that the land policy under the jurisdiction of Jin Liang was good, especially the setting up of military meritorious fields.

The reason why Jin Liang set up the military merit field was that he wanted the officers and men of the Central Army to become small and medium-sized landlords, at least rich peasants.

After the generals of the Central Army became small and medium-sized landlords, they owned less than 1,000 acres of fertile land, and they needed to hire some tenant farmers to plough the fields for them, but the tenant farmers were actually long-term workers, and the landlords all needed to sign employment agreements with the tenant farmers, and the relationship between the landlords and the tenant farmers was only the relationship between employment and employment, and there was no difference between rank and dignity.

The reason why Jin Liang did this was because of his deep meaning. Most of the generals of the Central Army were from poor families before, and Jin Liang did not want these poor brothers who followed him to fight in the south and the north, like some political groups that won the world, once they became prosperous and wealthy, they forgot their duties and became corrupt magnates who regarded the dignity and inferiority as the rule of heaven and hindered the mobility of the upper and lower classes and the progress of society.

Jin Liang once imagined that if all the family properties of all the Han families were divided equally, each Han citizen would be given at least 20 acres of land, and a family would have 100 acres of land, at least a rich peasant, and even a small landlord. Of course, this unrealistic, overly utopian idea of equal division was vetoed by Jin Liang after going through it in Jin Liang's mind, although Jin Liang worked very hard to curb the gap between the rich and the poor, but he cared more about a fair social order, and this fair order is that those who can work more and work more get more.

Before the rebellion, those rebel families had always been obedient to Jin Liang's land policy, and they would rather abandon a large amount of land because there was no one to cultivate it, rather than give the wasteland to Jin Liang to settle the displaced people, and now that they have been pacified, they have no chance to make a deal with Jin Liang.

After those rebellious families were put down, a large amount of wasteland was found out, in addition to giving priority to the officers and soldiers of the Central Army who were brave and good at fighting, fearless of life and death, and had repeatedly made military merits, it was distributed to the innocent tenant farmers and slaves of those rebellious families who had not participated in the rebellion to divide the land equally, and there were still many fields left, part of which was reserved for the resettlement of the family and some for the people who migrated from Xingyang County, so that although Jin Liang gave up Xingyang County and moved the people of Xingyang County to Jizhou, the fields in Jizhou did not have a supply problem.

This time the family rebellion can be described as one after another, after the soldiers of the Central Army who participated in the counterinsurgency extinguished the rebels of the family in Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, the soldiers of the Central Army were extremely tired after months of marching and conquest, but their harvest was amazing, in addition to receiving rich financial rewards, the meritorious soldiers got tens or hundreds of acres of military merit fields by virtue of their military exploits.

Relying on their military merits, the middle and high-ranking generals of the Central Army have all become small and medium-sized landlords, and most of the grassroots officers and men have become rich peasants.

In his eyes, soldiers, small and medium-sized landlords, rich peasants, middle peasants, and small and medium-sized merchants were the cornerstone of the future empire and the main body of an olive-shaped stable society, but those hereditary families of big bureaucrats, big businessmen, and big landlords were the moths of the empire. Their unbridled greed and tax evasion will inevitably affect the stability and long-term stability of the empire.

In view of the decadence of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the subsequent tragic lessons in history, Jin Liang learned from the pain and made up his mind. We must unswervingly limit the fight against the family, and this policy will not waver for fifty years.

Jin Liang thought about it, if he mixed up with the end of the five hundred families governing the country. He really lived for nothing.

In the series of battles in recent months, although the harvest is very rich, the central army, county soldiers, and field guards have more than 60,000 people killed or seriously disabled, and the pensions of these people are a huge amount. There are many places to spend money, and the people of Jizhou and Bingzhou were initially decided, and the people of many counties and counties were attacked by the rebels, so it was really not suitable to levy heavy taxes, but to be exempt from taxes, so Jin Liang generously exempted all the people of Jizhou and Bingzhou from paying taxes for one year.

Jin Liang now relied on the previous Ten Standing Servants, the treasure of Emperor Han Ling, the sale of the elixir of the Forgetting Worries Pill, and the gold and silver money collected from the rebellious family to maintain the expenses of the Central Army, although those money could last for a long time. But Jin Liang can't sit back and eat, he has to find new sources of money.

Jin Liang saw that some counties in Jizhou and Bingzhou had been entrenched by the rebels of the family, and the rest was full of desolation, especially where the rebels of the family were located, and the ordinary people were forbidden to have any praise for the Jinliang Central Army. Those people who couldn't help but express their dissatisfaction with the rebels of the family or expressed their satisfaction with the central army were beheaded by the rebels of the family, and their heads were hung on the head of the city, looking at the heads of the innocent people hanging on the cities of Handan, Julu, Huguan, Jinyang, etc., Jin Liangliang was filled with righteous indignation and resentment, and he decided to take revenge on those rebel families.

Revenge, of course, is not only to behead the leaders and pull the secondary figures to do labor, but the greater revenge is to dig up their ancestral graves, so that their families, who have been powerful for generations, can no longer ride on the heads of the poor people to do their power.

Jin Liang is such a person, he either doesn't do things or he does them absolutely.

dug up the ancestral graves of those rebellious families, cut off some of their yin veins, and let this clan completely disappear, and they could no longer retaliate against Jin Liang's clan, of course, Jin Liang ordered people to dig graves and dig graves in order to get the treasures in the tombs.

Jin Liang appointed Chen Hei, a personal guard loyal to him, as the captain of the Jin, and reorganized the 1,000-strong Jinjin Touching Brigade.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Jin Liang explained to Chen Hei the root cause of Wei Xu's death and Song Xian's rebellion, and asked Chen Hei to abide by the rules, not to be greedy for ink, and not to live up to his trust in him for many years.

Chen Hei has followed Jin Liang for many years, his face is black and his heart is not black, and he does things brightly, he took the initiative to propose to Jin Liang: "This kind of thing is to hurt yin morality, and if you don't let those members of the gold team get enough benefits, they are unwilling to sell their lives, even if they are willing to work hard, they will be greedy for ink." ”

Jin Liang agreed, and he signed a secret agreement with Chen Hei, stipulating that all the personnel of the gold brigade could get 20% of the tomb robbery treasures, and in addition, they were not allowed to be greedy for ink, otherwise they would not be pardoned.

The graves of these more than 60 rebellious families and the small and medium-sized landlords who depended on them were all stolen by Chen Hei's gold-touching brigade, and in the end they obtained a total of gold and silver treasures, which were discounted by more than 180 billion yuan, which was several times more than the existing gold and silver treasures of these families, which shows how crazy filial piety was in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The tomb robbers of the gold brigade have all become billionaires.

Jin Liang sent someone to investigate, these tomb robbers did not greed for ink, nor did they confide in the outside world, Jin Liang tolerated the share of the 36 billion money in the pockets of these tomb robbers, fortunately, most of these tomb robbers got so much money and washed their hands, otherwise they would dig the grave of the entire Han Dynasty, and their attitude of getting rich would sooner or later make Jin Liang can't help but kill them.

These gravediggers suddenly got so much wealth, except for a few who could restrain their nature, buy the fields and shops and turn to the right business, most of the rest spent their wealth in the fairy temple, the Forget Worry Pavilion and other gold caves.

Immortal Courtyard and Forget Worry Hall are controlled under Jin Liang's dark department, except for a few high-level officials and secret agents of the Central Army, others don't know that the Fairy Courtyard and Forget Worry Hall are the industry of the Central Army, and of course these tomb robbers of the gold brigade will not know, there are not only Fairy Pills, Forget Worries Pills, beautiful women, beautiful men, but also completely legal casinos, which is a place that integrates pornography, gambling, and drugs, and is a place where many men with weak willpower linger, for these gravediggers, The commissions obtained from those tomb robberies came easily, so they naturally did not cherish them, so they spent them in the Immortal Courtyard and the Forget Worries Pavilion to their heart's content, until they were poor and poor, but they didn't understand until they died, and the wealth they got returned to Jin Liang's hands.

There is also an obvious benefit to setting up a golden captain. Because these rebel families for the absurd filial piety and vanity, have built the ancestral tombs to be extremely lenient, occupying a lot of fertile land, the gold brigade dug up the ancestral graves of more than 60 rebel families, and after taking out the treasures inside, the graves were flattened, and suddenly more than 100,000 acres of fertile land were obtained, which can be used to house those slaves who have been oppressed by the rebel families, which can be described as appropriate.

Touching gold again, it is only for those rebellious families, for more families who have not participated in the rebellion, Jin Liang did not continue to be tough, look at Jizhou, and many places in Jizhou have experienced war and devastation, Jin Liang does not want to provoke a new round of war because of the dispute between the family and the Hanmen, for the current Jin Liang, stable development is above all else.

Jin Liang wiped out the more than 60 rebellious families in Jizhou and Bingzhou by thunderous means, and the remaining more than 100 families in Jizhou and Bingzhou were silent, afraid that Jin Liang would attack them, but he didn't expect that Jin Liang unexpectedly issued a decree, claiming to coexist peacefully with the family and jointly govern the Han Dynasty.

Those families couldn't believe their ears, with Jin Liang's temperament, how could he give up suppressing the family when he won one after another?

When the heads of these families saw the agreement sent by Jin Liang, they began to believe in Jin Liang's sincerity. Jin Liang's agreement is clearly written in black and white, as long as these families sell the abandoned fields, pay one mu and four buckets of grain, give up the use of strong crossbows, and do not do anything against the Han law, the central army will coexist peacefully with them, and will not use force against them, and Jin Liang will open many official positions in the imperial court and counties to the children of these families.

If before defeating the hundreds of thousands of rebels in the five states of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, those families would never accept Jin Liang's agreement, and now that the central army has won a big victory, the military is powerful and irresistible, these family heads who are already timid and dare not follow Zheng Tai and others to launch a rebellion are even more timid, and Jin Liang's request is not excessive, and they also exchange their official positions for their taming, what else can these family heads say, are they like Zheng Tai, Bian Rang and others stupidly launched a rebellion, Did he die tragically under Jin Liang's halberd?

These agreements were signed and witnessed by an intermediary, who was Liu Bian, the son of the emperor, who specifically stated that if those families violated any point in the agreement, the crusade against the Holy Decree and the blow of the Central Army would surely befall them.

The reason why Jin Liang postponed the blow to these families was not only because Jizhou and Bingzhou needed a few years of stable development and could not cause any more military disasters, not only because the central army was tired from a long war and needed to recuperate, but also because the strength of the family was still very strong, and it was not realistic to completely eradicate it, and some of the children of the family were still very talented, such as Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Zheng Hun and others, Jin Liang still needed their allegiance to help him get rid of hostile princes in other regions.

Jin Liang knew very well that military means were definitely not the best means to suppress the family, and the best means was the imperial examination.

The Han Dynasty's inspection system formed a new aristocratic - the scholar clan, such as the Yuan family in Runan, known as the fourth and third dukes, the descendants of the Yuan family have been officials for almost generations, and the power is huge, becoming a huge political force that can bargain with the emperor, and the chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the consequence of the expansion of the power of the scholar clan out of control. Such a clan is a terrible separatist force, a destabilizing factor in the empire.

Therefore, Yang Guang pioneered the imperial examination system and used examinations to select talents, not so much to practice the Confucian ideal of "learning and excelling", but rather to say that the emperor used the commoner class to deprive the scholars of the privilege of being officials for generations. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not eliminate the scholars, this work was basically completed in the Song Dynasty, and since the Song Dynasty, there are no scholars.

Of course, now that papermaking and printing have just begun to develop, and education for all has only been launched for a few months, I am afraid that the national imperial examination will not be until ten years later.

Jin Liang received Qin Yi's reply, and his ocean-going fleet first sailed along the coastline of the Han Dynasty, and successively supplemented the counties of Donglai, Langxi, Guangling, Wujun, and Jian'an, and swept away some pirates on the coastal islands south of the Yangtze River, established a transit point for ocean-going trade on some islands, and left some fishermen and slaves to be responsible for the transit of ocean-going trade, and then went to Yizhou, where they replenished supplies and established good relations with the local people.

Now that Qin Yi's fleet has bypassed Yizhou and headed south, it is estimated that in another half a year, it should be able to reach the legendary Mayan Empire.

Jin Liang thought maliciously that Qin Yi should be able to get corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, peppers and other crops from the Mayan Kingdom, but I wonder if he could get the conclusive prophecy of the end of the world in 2012?

But whether the big prophecy of the end of the world in 2012 is true or not, it is meaningless to the current Jin Liang. (To be continued.) )
