Although there are still many Wu Yue soldiers outside Fuzhou, the main general Hu Qing was captured, and Wu Yue's army has no leader and is about to be destroyed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Win more with less, defeat strong with weak, although there is an element of tricks, but this battle is still won.

In the hall, Cha Wenhui sat in the first position on his left hand, opposite Chen Tie, and down was Zhang Wenyi, Zhang Wenying, Zhu Qi and others. The candles flickered on and off, and Yang Lian asked people to hang a map of Fuzhou in the hall.

This map is very detailed, copied from Li Hongyi's home, Yang Lian has already seen it, after hanging it up, Yang Lian pointed to the map, said: "Everyone, this is a more detailed geographical map of Fuzhou, from the map, Fuzhou is surrounded by water and mountains, and the geographical location is special. Especially in the area of Wangshan, there is a hill that stretches for several miles, leading to the sea. This is a relatively complete defense system. Wang Zhenzhi only included Wangshan in the defense system, but I thought that a series of castles could be built from Wangshan to the sea, relying on each other. ”

Yang Lian said the thoughts in his heart, although he used Hu Qing's identity, but whether Wu Yue would enter the army, how much role Hu Jinsi could have, these are unknowns, take precautions, what Fuzhou needs today is to restore the economy and restore the people's livelihood, so it is destined to be defended.

To the north of Fuzhou, the further north the mountains became, the more solid the fortifications of Wu Yue's army became, and it was not feasible to expand the defensive line to the north. Yang Lian's suggestion to build a castle in the area of Wangshan was not only a strategic consideration for defense, but also of great economic significance.

In the northeast direction of Wangshan, behind a series of hills, there is a flat land with a radius of more than ten miles, which is the best fertile land in Fuzhou City, and with the irrigation of the Minjiang River, the grain output is very high.

These fertile land, except for a small part owned by the local tyrants of Fuzhou City, the rest were occupied by Li Hongyi, and now that Li Hongyi has been captured, these fertile fields are naturally owned by the Tang Dynasty. However, Yang Lian will not let these fertile fields fall into the hands of the government.

Yang Lian's idea is very simple, that is, to distribute the fertile land to the people, but there are not many people in Fuzhou City, preliminary calculations, Fuzhou City only has more than 20,000 households, and some of them have only the old and young, or widows, in fact, the population is less than 100,000, which is unimaginable in the huge Fuzhou City. The loss of manpower makes it difficult to restore production quickly.

Yang Lian already plans to distribute the land to the people, and one household will be granted 100 acres of land, which is already the limit, and no matter how much, the people will not be busy. One hundred acres of fertile land includes mulberry fields, in addition to about one or two acres of vegetable fields. Moreover, these fields belong to the Yongye fields, which can be passed on to their descendants.

Yang Lian's plan not only surprised Cha Wenhui, but even Zhang Wenyi and Zhang Wenying's brothers were taken aback. Because Yang Lian granted 100 acres of land to one household, it is too much, and only places like Fuzhou, which have experienced war for many years and are sparsely populated, can have enough farmland to give to the people.

When Yang Lian threw out another condition, the Zhang brothers glanced at each other, because Yang Lian's approach was very bold. was so bold that the two of them felt that Yang Lian must be deeply trusted by His Majesty, otherwise it would not be so. The Zhang brothers pursed their lips, very moved, Jianzhou and Jianzhou originally belonged to the same Fujian State, but due to the proximity to Wuyi Mountain in the north, there are not as many fertile fields as Fuzhou. Moreover, it was relatively easy for the Tang Dynasty to capture Jianzhou and other places, and the people did not suffer much loss. The people of Jianzhou only have about 60 acres of land per household, and some remote towns and towns with little land are even less pitiful.

In fact, there is already a lot of land given by the Tang Dynasty, you must know that in the early days of the Li Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, an average of 40 acres of land was granted to a household. It's just that today the taxes are extremely heavy, and despite the fact that there is so much land, the lives of ordinary people are still difficult.

Zhang Wenyi licked his chapped lips, Yang Lian threw out a piece of fragrant meat, if he didn't bite again, he would be an idiot. When he thought of this, Zhang Wenyi shook his head again, he is not a dog, what kind of meat do you bite?

Yang Lian supported the family from other places to immigrate to Fuzhou, and at the same time granted land in accordance with the regulations, which made the Zhang brothers excited, especially the many descendants of the Zhang family, both of whom ranked low, and they were not the eldest sons, so they could not get more benefits in the family in the future. There are hundreds of descendants of the Zhang family in their generation, and this is not counting some illegitimate children. It is obviously impossible for so many people to divide the family's property. Moreover, wealth is mainly in the hands of family elders and sisters-in-law, and they do not see much hope.

In the Zhang family, there are many people who can't see hope, so Yang Lian's idea makes the two of them excited. Yang Lian also put forward his condition, that is, the family who came to Fuzhou must be divided, although this is so much land, but to a certain extent, it has broken the cohesion of the family, and the tax has also increased, which can be regarded as both advantages and disadvantages.

Most of the officials present were from Jianzhou families, and a considerable number of them belonged to concubines, and the future was not bright, otherwise how could they come to be soldiers and live a life on the tip of a knife?

Yang Lian said as he observed everyone's expressions, some people were obviously moved, and some were still observing. Yang Lian once again said that he would be tax-free for two years.

Although Yang Lian's words make people feel a little unreliable, after all, he is only a general of the first army and can't manage Fuzhou, but it still makes many people see hope. Cha Wenhui is a little worried, tax exemption for two years, what will happen to Fuzhou's treasury?

After Yang Lian finished saying what he thought in his heart, he sat down and drank tea, and in the face of the huge temptation, no one was not moved. The crowd did not express their position, but they still had doubts. Yang Lian moistened his throat, took out a fold from his arms, and said: "This is the military merit of this battle, this section has been written, just wait for the rest of the Wu Yue army to surrender tomorrow, and your merits will naturally be more." You don't have to worry about this matter, go back and think about it first. However, Fuzhou already belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and troops will inevitably be sent to garrison it, and in my opinion, it still depends on you. ”

Yang Lian's words have made it clear enough that these people will be stationed in Fuzhou in the future, so buying a house in Fuzhou Land is a thing that must be done.

Zhang Wenyi pursed his lips and thought for a while, and finally his ambition to make a contribution took over, he stood up, arched his hand, and said: "Yang Jiedu, the last general is willing to settle in Fuzhou, and at the same time persuade some people to come to Fuzhou." ”

Zhang Wenying glanced at her brother in some surprise, although he was still a little hesitant, but his brother's decision was to be supported, and he immediately stood up and clenched his fists to show his support.

Yang Lian is very satisfied, the Zhang family is a big family, and with their support, Fuzhou's economic recovery will be much faster.

With the Zhang brothers as an example, several more heads stood up and expressed their willingness to stay in Fuzhou. In the end, only one or two people did not express their position, and Yang Lian was not reluctant, everyone had their own ambitions. After the generals dispersed, Cha Wenhui frowned and slowly tasted tea.

Yang Lian's method is not bad, with enough manpower, Fuzhou City can quickly restore the people's livelihood, but after two years of tax exemption, Fuzhou City's treasury will inevitably be empty, how to raise soldiers? Naturally, the military salary is allocated by the Ministry of War, but the repair of the city, the construction of houses, and the construction of castles are reluctant to be taken out.

Yang Lian knew what he was thinking, and when everyone left, he said what he thought in his heart. Doing business, no business, no wealth, relying only on agricultural taxes can not support the economy, the history of the Great Song Dynasty is to rely on extremely high commercial taxes, in order to become rich in the world.

Fuzhou has not many specialties, and there are no minerals such as iron and copper, but by the sea, there are excellent ports, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places in history, once the largest port, Yang Lian is hoping that Cha Wenhui will take this road, as long as the merchants are endless, money does not have to worry at all.

The two chatted for a while, carefully discussing the future development direction of Fuzhou, until the time of the child, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Cha Wenhui was already sleepy, so they went to rest.

After sleeping and getting up, there was news outside the city, Hu Qing was captured, and Wu Yuejun outside the city put down his arms and surrendered, everyone knows very well what the consequences are after surrendering, especially the Fu'an Army, which itself is not under the jurisdiction of Hu Qing.

Some soldiers still have to take some things away, Chen Tie took more than 100 horsemen to patrol outside, and rushed up to slaughter for a while when he saw the opportunity, Wu Yuejun had no fighting spirit, and they discarded the grain and grass baggage, and it only took two hours to leave a large camp full of grain and grass baggage.

Chen Tie cautiously approached the camp, and after entering, he found that there were only more than 1,000 people in the entire camp, and most of these soldiers were wounded. There are more than 50 people brought by Hu Qing, the boss was captured, and if they fled back, they would be executed by Hu Jinsi, so they simply didn't escape.

Yang Lian got the news, rushed to the camp of the Wu Yue army, saw the mountains of grain and grass, and couldn't help laughing, in addition to the grain and grass, there were some soldiers hurriedly threw down the gold and silver, Yang Lian smiled unceremoniously, let the soldiers clean up, and pulled back to Fuzhou City with grain and grass.

At noon, Yang Lian took Chen Tie and others, dressed in civilian clothes, walking on the street. When the people heard that the Wuyue people had fled, they went to the streets, some did business, some opened shops, and some went up the mountain to chop wood.

Yang Lian walked to the county office, and at this time, a group of people were crowded at the door of the county office, discussing something in front of the notice. Yang Lian slowly paced over, and Chen Tie followed closely, protecting Yang Lian. When he got closer, Yang Lian squeezed into the crowd and saw a person dressed as a scholar, shaking his head and reading the contents of the notice.

In these years, most of the people were illiterate, and scholars were more expensive. After the people finished listening to the scholar, an old man shook his head and said: "These days are in chaos, the people are miserable, don't say anything else, just say Li Jiedu, I don't know how much food has been levied, these vampires, I can't wait to squeeze you dry." You say, now that the city of Fuzhou has changed its owner, this new festival can be so kind, not only does not collect money and grain, but also distributes food to the people? Don't believe it, don't believe it! ”

After the old man finished speaking, some people immediately agreed, Fujian has been in chaos for several years, those who are soldiers are like wolves and tigers, bullying men and women, not only robbing food, seeing that the daughter-in-law of the family is beautiful, but also rushing into the house and ravaging it. Some people were tortured to death, and some people were able to come back alive, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

Then the new festival envoy wants to open a warehouse and release grain? Don't believe it, don't believe it! (To be continued.) )
