Before eliminating the Black Blood Clan, Yang Li used the first half of the year to make a lot of preparations.

The first is to open the road with the Xuanyuan clan, the two places are about two hundred miles apart, during which some small tribes have chosen to join Los Angeles or the Xuanyuan clan during this period, Yang Li was very worried about conflict.

The so-called long-distance relations and close attacks, once the territory of the two countries border, then contradictions are almost inevitable, today because of the problem of arable land and water diversion, tomorrow whose cattle run to the other side's land to eat pasture, the cause of the friction between neighbors and the fuse of war between countries, is not much different.

It's just that Chief Xuanyuan didn't plan to enter a confrontation with Los Angeles, he directly sent his eldest son Xuanyuan over at a party, saying that he was learning from Luocheng's advanced cultural posture, but in fact, he was a hostage and put the successor in the hands of Yang Li, which means that we are allies, and you don't have to worry about me backing up.

Everyone has done this, and Yang Li is not polite, he said that we speak the same language, and both are regimes with agricultural development as the core, and now I have more advanced technology and a more efficient system, so it is better to merge.

This is not to say that I will come to Los Angeles to annex you, but you can move the population to the Los Angeles River basin in batches, there are still many plains suitable for grain production in the upper and lower reaches of this side, which are waiting to be developed, and there is not enough population in Los Angeles at present, from last year to now, the total number of people has indeed expanded by half a time, reaching more than 4,500 people, but it is still far from controlling the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Therefore, what Yang Li has to do now is to promote the integration of Los Angeles and Xuanyuan Hill, the ruling class of the Xuanyuan clan still lives according to the original structure, as for the ordinary people, once they come to Los Angeles, they will be designated to a certain area for reclamation and enjoy preferential policies.

For example, after the whole family emigrates, Yang Li will distribute wooden ploughs and promise to use patrols to ensure their safety, and at the same time, he will send a specially organized construction team to help build the house, and will be rationed with various production tools, and enjoy a limited number of discounts.

Xuanyuan Wei originally went to govern the area of his immigrant clansmen, otherwise it would really be like Yang Li robbed the population of the Xuanyuan clan, but in fact, this is not the case, because although ethnic integration was simple in ancient times, it was not something that could be completed in a day or two, so Yang Li gave a lord's canonization, but Xuanyuan Wei did not agree.

The young man said that he wanted to learn Yang Li's governance methods, and he was unwilling to become a lord.

According to Xuanyuan, what really made him feel that he had grown rapidly was to stay by Yang Jiao's side and watch him deal with all kinds of military affairs, from court trials to building a military system, to dealing with the relationship between people and land, and reasonably distributing benefits to all strata.

The key to the rise of the regime is to keep the country's sophisticated machinery running efficiently.

The lord is free, but he can't learn the essence of the rise of Los Angeles, Xuanyuan thinks so. So Yang Li gave him the Los Angeles Justice, the position of judge is good, and there are many opportunities to deal with conflicts between people and spears between groups, which is an excellent opportunity to exercise.

So the Xuanyuan clan sent another person to be the lord of the relocated clansmen, that is, the son of the late seventh uncle and grandfather Xuanyuan Tuwa, Xuanyuan Jingdou, Comrade Xuanyuan Guang's personality is somewhat similar to Xuanyuan Guang, full of curiosity and yearning for the world, but I want to be a little more timid and afraid than Xuanyuan Guang, originally this time when he came back to Los Angeles as a lord, where could it be his turn, but considering the compensation for Comrade Tuwa's heroic death, Xuanyuan Decheng chose Jingdou.

Mo Jiaoxing has been actively trying to contact Los Angeles since he was defeated last time, and three caravans come over a month, bringing all kinds of new and strange little things, trying to sell them in the city, and the prices are very low, and the women like it very much.

When Yang Li learned about it, he immediately promulgated the Foreign Tariff Act, set up a commercial tax for the Mojiao tribe, and then developed a special toy for children, football, to promote it.

The current technology can't make an inflatable football, it's nothing more than cutting the leather into chunks, sewing them together, stuffing straw inside to kick, as for the size of the ball...... It varies due to handmade reasons.

When Yang Li was in school, the head teacher grasped the grades tightly, basketball and football were forbidden extracurricular activities, but the ban could not stop the teenagers' enthusiasm for sports, the children who played football at that time, would use water bottles at both ends of the corridor outside the classroom to set a goal distance, and then throw the bottle cap on the ground as a ball.

In this way, the sport of football continues in a different form.

After the ball game was popularized among the children in Los Angeles, it was very difficult for the Mojiao clan to steal the children's attention with other things, but the clothes and cosmetics sold to women, although they were heavily taxed, still sold well.

As a person who cheats children's money, Yang Jiao despises people who cheat women's money.

However, the Mojiao clan is willing to repair trade, which means that the war will be launched after a long time, and now the Xuanyuan clan has taken the initiative to join, the rear is stable, time is in a hurry, and it is the beginning of autumn, Yang Jiao began to carry out the great leap forward of the social structure.

The feudal society must really kick off.

Suddenly, one day, all the slave owners were called to the open space outside the Luohe Castle, nearly 700 people gathered together, it was very spectacular, everyone did not receive any news before, there was a lot of discussion, gathered in twos and threes, and the old people in the river bend stood at the front of the crowd, waiting for the arrival of the leader.

When Yang Jiao appeared, the Guards also came, and the cavalry hedging training was more strict and cruel before, and more than ten of them were eliminated, so the establishment of the Guards is currently sixty people.

The iron horsemen lined up, and the slave owners found that the equipment of these teenagers had changed a lot.

Thanks to the improvement of smelting technology, the bronze sword was lengthened to ninety centimeters, that is, nearly one meter long, the big gun was still the tip of the willow leaf spear unchanged, and the armor on the body already had two bronze pieces combined with the cuirass, similar to the cuirassiers of later generations, but the thickness was far less.

The lower leg of the cavalry is covered by shin guards, which is also smelted out as a whole, because considering that when charging into formation, the front will receive a rain of javelin arrows, and after falling into the enemy's formation, the lower leg is also a position that is easy to be hit by the infantry, so the protection here cannot be less.

The bronze helmet has been fully equipped, this kind of helmet is very ugly, and there is a pheasant feather on the top, yes, it is one, and the Roman Empire is completely different from the bewitching sluts who are full of helmets and hair, they are aesthetic people, and we don't have them in Los Angeles.

As for why the hair is inserted, it is mainly used to distinguish between the upper and lower levels, because the cavalry is a small squad of five people, and the hair on the head of the captain of the five-person squad is lengthened, which can be distinguished at a glance in a chaotic battle.

Therefore, the number of guards has not only been slightly expanded, but the protection ability of equipment has also been greatly improved, at least now, if Yang Jiao is allowed to attack the enemy's heavy infantry head-on, he will definitely be able to take it regardless of casualties.

Naturally, the slave owners were silent, and they had a hunch that something big was going to happen today.

The cavalry team stood sideways, and the men and horses were like statues, and I saw the leader of Yang riding out on a single horse, coming to the front of the slave owners, scanning them with his eyes for a while, and then saying, "Sit." ”

Sitting, of course, there were no stools, but everyone did not hesitate to sit down on the grass together.

"Today, I want to abolish the system of hard labor."

There was a buzz below, and everyone was talking to each other, their faces were frightened, and their brains hadn't turned for a while.

Although the chief said last winter that the system would change, and everyone knew that this day would come soon, the day when it really came, it seemed so uncomfortable, because they had become deeply dependent on this system.

If the slaves were liberated, a large part of them would not even have the hands to cook and chop wood, which was similar to the mentality of the Southern manor owners during the Civil War.

At the time of the Civil War, the North was relatively industrially developed, and due to geographical reasons, plantations were far less widely distributed than in the South, and the working class was numerous, so it was natural that the slavery system could be easily abandoned.

Therefore, the boys of the Guards were expressionless, they all supported themselves purely by military training, and they had very little to do with slavery, and if they had any indirect connections, they naturally had no emotions at all.

If the monarch of the later dynasty suddenly issued an order without conscription, then the lower nobles were likely to rise up on the spot to resist the tyranny, but Yang Jiao was the founding master, the first generation of emperors, and the existence of almost a demigod in the hearts of the slave owners, whether it was the accumulation of power or the degree of trust, it was unparalleled.

The buzzing sound sounded for a while, and naturally stopped, Yang Jiao didn't stop it, and then everyone looked at the leader with hundreds of pairs of eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Yang Li cleared his throat: "I know you have a lot of questions, but I won't answer." ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

"In short, life will be better, and after the liberation of the slaves, you will have more food, more weapons, and more wealth, and one day you will go to war—and the day will come—and your men will no longer be ragged prisoners, but warriors on tall horses and spears."

"Just like them?" A slave owner pointed to the Guards cavalry.

"That's right," Yang Jiao made a virtual mark on the river bend with his hand, "You have been an infantry for a few days, and you have also seen the combat training of the Guards, so you should know what will happen to the heavy infantry when facing them." ”

Flipped by a car.

"Therefore the freed slaves will become your tenant farmers, and you will divide a portion of your present land and give it entirely to the tenant farmers, and at the same time collect rent from them."

Ground rent? The slave owners did not understand.

"It's stupid, you see what this leader usually lives on." Yang Li said angrily.

Everyone said that the output of your experimental field is very high, with a yield of 100,000 catties per mu, which can feed a legion.

"Phew, I forgot to ask you for tribute in the spring and autumn season?" Yang Li suddenly felt that his tax rate of two out of ten was too low, causing the slave owners to have no feeling, so he adjusted it to three out of ten another day.

As a result, all the slave owners woke up to the fact that the feudal system was essentially not to make them alone, but to oppress the laborers at the bottom in another way.

In the past, slaves were not highly motivated to produce, because they could not find a purpose in life, their personal freedom was all in the hands of the slave owners, and all the output was also owned by the slave owners, and they could only live like wild beasts, and could they still expect to do more work in addition to production, or engage in inventions? Impossible.

But once the slaves become tenant farmers, have their own land, and create their own families, then everything will change, the whole civilization will be full of vitality, the wealth of the people at the bottom will inevitably increase, and Yang Li will have a more elite core army and more high-quality soldiers to unify China.

This is something that must be completed by the Black Blood Clan on the expedition, from a semi-slave and semi-feudal society to a feudal society.
