Chapter 337 [Huns! 】

Wei Yan asked people to interrogate carefully, only to learn that these were some slaves and tenant farmers released by the family in order to reduce their burden.

A few months ago, after Wei Yan swept away the rebels of the family, he took advantage of this great victory and confidently collected all the remaining fields that the family clan illegally occupied and had not been registered.

These clans kept a lot of slaves and tenant farmers who were willing to sell themselves, and there were too many people to take in and hide, and the surplus land was taken away by Wei Yan very justifiably, so that the clans found that the fields that those yeoman farmers who were unwilling to sell themselves and submit to them received from the Wei army were more than their own per capita acres, or even better.

Before Wei Yan came to power, the clans all evaded land taxes and commercial taxes, but because of Wei Yan's iron-fisted suppression, although the remnants of the clans were more than ten times that of the rebel clans, they were all subdued by the iron blood of the 100,000 Wei army, and they did not dare to repeat the mistakes of the rebel families, and obediently agreed to pay one mu and two buckets of land taxes, which was the same as the land taxes paid by yeoman farmers.

This acre of two buckets of land is added to the heads of those tenant farmers, originally an acre of land harvest can have about forty buckets, and it doesn't matter if you pay two more buckets, but now there is a shortage of acres of land that can be handed over to tenant farmers for cultivation, and the cultivation is less, and the landlords of the family want to share more, so that those tenant farmers are taking their own situation compared with the self-cultivators who are free to pay only one mu of land and two buckets of grain, and their hearts are very unbalanced. Many tenant servants fled the family's estate.

Seeing this situation, the clans were helpless, so they divided the land evenly among the tenant farmers below according to the standard of the Wei army's equal distribution of land, and gave the tenant farmers below ten acres of land rent and crops, and exempted the additional two buckets of taxes, and the taxes of one mu and two buckets were deducted from the grain they originally collected from the tenant farmers.

After the census passed, there were as many as four or five hundred thousand tenant farmers who had been dismissed by the big families who had gathered in front of the Wei army garrison.

Wei Yan took into account the ecological conservation of water and soil, and ordered that it was not allowed to blindly open up the wasteland, and now the fertile land of the entire Yiyang County and Nanyang County has been allocated to the soldiers of the Wei army for military merit, and a large part of the tuntian fields for the military tun, of course, Shi Tao, Han Hao, and their tuntian soldiers, who are now renamed the Construction Corps, occupy a lot of fertile land, and the fields that can be reserved for these tenant farmers are only more than one million mu, which is only enough to resettle more than 200,000 people, and there are more than 200,000 people who can't get the land, how to resettle these more than 200,000 people? How can we resettle the growing number of displaced people?

Wei Yan set his sights on Hongnong County and Henan County, which were sparsely populated because of the war, and those two counties were enough to house a million people.

However, there is a threat in Tuntian, the white wave thieves who crisscross the east of the river.

When the white wave thieves returned to the east of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, they were divided into two, one part was Yang Xian Han Jiang, who was later defeated by Wei Yan, and the other part was led by Hu Cai and Li Le, who still stayed in Hedong County and could threaten Hongnong and Henan counties at any time.

So, in September, Wei Yan led 30,000 horses and prepared to send troops to Hedong to sweep away the Bai Boyu party.

Ostensibly, Wei Yan led only 5,000 men and horses to the boat at Mengjindu, behind the city of Luoyang (which was still in ruins), seemingly down the river, and spread the word that Cao Cao's Hanoi Taishou Wei was escorting countless gold and silver treasures to Puyang.

On this day, the fleet passed through Wen County, Hanoi County, and Wei Yan stood at the bow of the ship and looked at Wen County with another polished telescope.

There is a very remarkable figure in Wen County, Sima Yi, who is now eighteen years old, and already has the appearance of a traitor who looks at the wolf and looks at the wolf.

Wei Yan secretly made up his mind that he would definitely get rid of Sima Yi's family this time. If there is no Sima Yi, there will be no five nonsense, whether this reasoning is correct, Wei Yan can't say for sure, but he hates the thick and black careerist very much, and hates the Sima family who has been confused for several generations of the smart second generation, and hates it so much that it even exceeds the hatred of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

This is also the reason why he couldn't watch "The Alliance of Military Divisions" before he was reborn.

To the north of Wenxian is the rolling and majestic Taihang Mountain, and Wei Yan stands on the deck, holding a telescope to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Taihang Mountain.

Looking at it, Wei Yan's face suddenly became solemn.

Between the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountains was a large area of low hills and hills, lush with vegetation and trees, which was originally very inconspicuous, but Wei Yan saw that in that large area of lush mountains and forests, there seemed to be a murderous aura hidden in the sky.

The boat went down the river, getting closer and closer to the large jungle, and the scenery seen in the telescope became clearer and clearer, and countless swords and swords flashed in the jungle.

Wei Yan hurriedly sent an order down to prepare the whole army for battle.

At this time, there was a report from the front that the river was getting narrower and narrower, forming a gourd shape, and only two large boats could be allowed to pass through at the mouth of the gourd.

When Wei Yan heard the news, the haze in his heart became thicker and thicker.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the order to prepare the whole army for combat was issued, a loud bang was heard in front of them, and there was a great chaos.

Wei Yan looked at it, and many ships were piled up at the mouth of the gourd, unable to move.

Someone quickly reported that there was a rope in the river ahead, the cable was very thick, and it could not be cut with a sword in a short time, and there was a shipwreck under the cable, and it would take half a day to clear the channel.

At this moment, an apricot yellow flag suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests in the distance, revealing countless soldiers with yellow scarves and heads all over the mountains.

Wei Yan roughly counted, there were 50,000 people.

Wei Yan was draped all over his body, carrying a red blood knife, pulling a black horse, getting off the building boat, and turning to a ship.

When the ship had just landed, Wei Yan had already stepped on the black horse, and the black horse raised its hooves and jumped onto the beach.

Chen Zhi urged him to step forward: "Lord, looking at this posture, it seems that they know that we are going to pass through here, and they have been waiting here for a long time." However, the embankment by the river was flat and narrow, and it was not suitable for an ambush, so they laid an ambush on a low hill a mile away. Judging by their attire, it must be the Yellow Turban Yu Party, maybe Zhang Yan's Black Mountain thief? ”

Wei Yan smiled but didn't answer, and handed the telescope to Chen Dao: "Take a look!" ”

Chen Zhi took the binoculars and saw that there was a group of people in the thieves who were wrapped in yellow scarves and looked particularly different, they did not use yellow scarves to cover their heads, but wore fur hats, wearing loose robes that were calf-length and slit on both sides, with a belt tied around the waist, both ends of the belt hanging down in front, short fur around the shoulders, wide trousers tied tightly at the ankle with a belt, and a bow and arrow bag tied to the belt and hung down in front.

Bow and quiver? Chen Zhi was taken aback, and then looked closely at the faces of those people, everyone seemed to look about the same, short and stout figures, large and round heads, broad pie faces, high cheekbones, thick beards, long earlobes wearing an earring, except for a bunch of hair on the top, the rest of the head was shaved, and the eyes under the thick eyebrows were like hungry wolves, emitting bursts of fierce light.

Chen Zhi shouted: "Huns! ”

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "What is so terrible about the Huns! ”
