Chapter 217: Fu Jian admits defeat

There were more than 10,000 people in the town of Northland, and now they have left, although Fu Jian is unwilling, but there is no way, he is a heroic figure, but in terms of governance, he is still benevolent, and he also has compassion for the people, and is unwilling to control with high pressure, so he can only let these people drag their families out of Northland.

This is not the most deadly, the most annoying thing for him is his subordinates, when there were nearly 10,000 horse bandits on Funiu Mountain who were absorbed by him, these people were the poorest people, they couldn't stand the harsh government of the Great Zhou Dynasty and fled to the mountains to fall into the grass, and now they are back in the city, these people have returned to their old business and started farming, and they naturally have to hand over a part of Fu Jian to grow food, and when they heard that Liu Yuetian's Tianshui was exempted from agricultural taxes for three years, they were also moved.

The people's wish is like this, that is, they want to have food and clothing to wear a better life, when they went up the mountain to this Fu Jian, it was a last resort, Fu Jian can let them eat, and now they have land in the city, and they don't have to worry about eating, you can see Liu Yuetian's Tianshui exempt from agricultural taxes, and they can have more surplus grain, this temptation is much stronger than Fu Jian's "inspiring" speech, at the beginning they still had doubts, but when they heard that this was indeed the truth, they began to "flee", at first sporadically, Later, it was a batch of batches, and now half of Fu Jian's original subordinates are gone, except for those brothers who followed him from birth to death, the others are also unstable.

"This Liu Yuetian, a Tianshui let him manage like an iron bucket, and if it goes on like this, my people will let him run away."

Fu Jian frowned now, but there was no way, the other party's move was a move to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it would directly make you helpless without the army fighting.

"Jian'er, it seems that I still underestimate the means of this highness, he took over Tianshui for half a year, and he completely collapsed you without using a single soldier against the other three towns, you are not his opponent, alas, it is far away, it is far away, it is worthy of being a saint, he does have this ability!"

Guiguzi sighed on the side.

"Teacher, Liu Yuetian governs Tianshui with benevolence and righteousness, and I am convinced of this, but I still can't understand how Liu Yuetian makes a city work? His various tax exemptions, what kind of nursing home he built, so that the people over sixty years old in the city can live in, without spending the people's money, I sent someone to check secretly, and he did this, and there are other schools and the like, each of which is free, if it is said that Liu Yuan left it, I am afraid that half a year will be consumed......... It's all money! Where did he come from? ”

To rule a country or a city, the army is important, but fundamentally it is still money, without money, the army can't afford to raise, the people don't eat and drink, and in the end it's still empty.

Don't say it's Fu Jian, just say that Guiguzi can't figure it out.

"Big brother, that prince has sent someone to us, saying that there is something important to discuss!"

A subordinate came in and said.

"It's finally here, it seems that Liu Yuetian is going to start! Let him in! ”

Soon, a sergeant in armor walked in.

"Fu Jian, I will hand you a letter on the orders of the prince."

The other party stood proudly and handed the other party a letter.

Fu Jian opened it, and sure enough, it was written by Liu Yuetian himself.

"Teacher, take a look!"

Fu Jian handed the letter to Guiguzi.

There is not much content in the letter, that is, Liu Yuetian is ready to do something to the three towns, he is also very tolerant of Fu Jian, as long as the other party is willing to surrender, after the attack on the three towns, all will be led by him.

"Jian'er, admit it, we can't afford to mess with this Chitose!"

Guiguzi said softly.

"Do you admit it?"

Although Fu Jian was unconvinced, the situation at this time was not under his control, and he only had 2,000 soldiers now, and he couldn't pay out his military salary or anything, and there was little food left, how could he fight this battle?

"Alas, well, you go back and say to Chitose, I'm willing to surrender!"

Fu Jian sighed and said.

"That's good, but I don't need to go back to tell Chitose, you go to Tianshui now, our army is stationed a few miles away, and it will be stationed soon!"

The other party said coldly.

"You......... Okay, okay, I'll go with you! ”

Fu Jian was willing to gamble and lose, and gathered his soldiers together to tell everyone the news, everyone did not have any fierce emotions, and they also knew that their people could not beat Liu Yuetian at all, and many people had long wanted to surrender.

Soon, Chang Yuchun's 2,000 infantry and Shi Le's 1,000 cavalry were stationed in Beidi Town, and these soldiers were all chainmail and iron short knives in their hands, and this equipment alone made Fu Jian feel desperate.

"Fu Jian, we meet again!"

Lu Ma, who was sitting in Chang Yuchun, looked at each other and smiled slightly, the two had fought in Wang Ping's formation, and that one was a draw, and no one took advantage.

"This general's honorable name?"

Fu Jian asked.

"Spring is always in the spring!"

"It turned out to be General Chang, the generals are like gods, Fu Jian is really admired, and Chitose is a saint, I sigh to myself!"

"Hehe, my lord is naturally the Emperor of the Ages, you submit to him, this is a wise move, the lord has also talked about you to us, as long as you are sincere and obedient, we will be friends in the future......... This should be the old man of Guiguzi, Chitose specially talked about you, you can educate characters like Zhang Yi and Su Qin, and naturally you are not mortals, but those people are like candlelight and Haoyue compared to Chitose, they can't be compared at all, you follow my lord, and the future will be limitless. ”

"Hehe, General Chang, I have already learned Chitose's skills, I said that he had the qualifications of a saint, it seems that I still underestimated him, Chitose's actions have benefited the people of Tianshui, and we have no complaints if we submit to him."

Guiguzi said with a smile.

"Come on, escort the two of you to Tianshui!"

Shile sent ten cavalrymen to escort the two out.

"The rest of you, if you are willing to join the army, we welcome it, and if you are not willing, my lord can divide your land."

A sergeant shouted at Fu Jian's sergeant.

This shout blew up the pot, and everyone was in an uproar.

"I'm willing to join the army......... I do.........! ”

The military salary of Tianshui soldiers is really attractive, that is, the most ordinary soldiers need two taels of silver every month, once they become elite, the military salary is five taels of silver a month, and it is sixty taels a year, these silver are enough for an ordinary family of four to live for ten years, who is not impressed by such a generous treatment?

"Your courage is commendable, this is very good, I think you also know that the income of the soldiers in Tianshui is very high, and the whole family will live very well if one person is a soldier, but I said ugly in front, our army in Tianshui is not as simple as you think, even ordinary soldiers have to undergo hard training, if they become elite, then they must have the spirit of not being afraid of death, can you do it?"

Chang Yuchun asked loudly.

There were a lot fewer voices responding this time, they used to be stragglers, and joining the army was just a mixed meal, but now when they heard Chang Yuchun say this, they immediately became worried.
