Chapter 87: The Tension of the Family

Wei Yan said angrily: "Since I came to the three counties of Yiyang, I have not violated the river water with their well water, and I have neither forcibly requisitioned their people nor their grain, why should they unite against me?" ”

Wei Yu smiled bitterly: "According to the detailed work we have planted in Baijiawu Fort, the reason why the thirteen families, including the Bai family, oppose the lord is the same, that is, the lord has set very few taxes, and the yeoman farmers only have to pay three percent of the harvest, and other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted.

Wei Yan sneered: "They took away six or seven percent of the rent, how many tenant farmers are left, once natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, how can the tenant farmers live, let's reduce the land endowment to thirty percent, why don't they reduce it to thirty percent?" ”

Deng Zhi on the side smiled bitterly: "Lord, for these greedy families, they are used to gobbling up like this, making them have a smaller appetite, it is even more uncomfortable than killing them!" ”

Wei Yan couldn't help but shake his head: "Since ancient times, not only these families, but even the country, every time they say that they want to reduce taxes and reduce burdens, as a result, this harsh tax and miscellaneous taxes are reduced more and more, until natural and man-made disasters break out frequently, and the people are really unbearable, so they rise up, and a dynasty collapses, along with those families, but even if they are told their consequences clearly, they are not willing to let go of their greedy hands."

By the way, Ah Yu, what do those families want to do with us? ”

Wei Yu said: "Some of them are ready to jointly write to Liu Biao and ask Liu Biao to remove the lord from his position as the eastern governor, and some are ready to join forces to attack us!" ”

Wei Yanjian raised his eyebrows: "You don't have to care about the dismissal in the book, the key is to join forces together!" Ah Yu, how many troops do these thirteen families have combined? ”

Wei Yu said: "Each family is less than five hundred, more than two thousand, together, there are fifteen thousand people, of which the Pingchun Bai family is the most, there are two thousand people, and the Bai family is the most active to attack us together, in addition to the Yiyang Fan family, the Yiyang Hu family, and the Yiyang Dong family, all of which are families with more people, but the attitude of the three of them is vague. ”

"Yiyang Fan family? Yiyang Hu family? Yiyang Dong family? Wei Yan faintly thought of something, but he couldn't think of it more clearly, so he simply didn't think about it, so he continued to ask: "Which force is that Bai family closely related to?" ”

Wei Yu said: "The head of the Bai family was previously a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth dynasty, and he had a close relationship with Huainan Yuan Shu. ”

When Wei Yan heard it, he already had a bamboo in his chest, so he ordered left and right: "Call Liao Hua and General Guan Hai to come!" ”

While waiting for Liao Hua and Guan Hai to come, Deng Zhi advised: "Lord, if you reduce Tianfu to thirty percent, you will not only be embarrassed by the families of the three counties of Yiyang, but also by the families of the whole world in the future. Please also ask the lord to think twice and promote Tian Fu to fifty percent. ”

After listening to the words of Wei Yu and Deng Zhi, Wei Yan suddenly understood why Cao Cao's sharing ratio in Tuntian was that those who used official cattle, the officials six and the people were four, and those who used private cattle were divided between the government and the people. The history books say that "the exploitation of the tuntian system is heavier, and the tuntian peasants are tied to the land", but they do not say that if those displaced people do not go to the tuntian, but go to work as tenant farmers or yeoman farmers for the family, the burden will be heavier.

Cao Cao made the proportion of the tunmin divided to fifty-fifty, and he would also force those families who collected sixty percent of the rent to reduce the rent, and the reduction of one percent of the rent could be tolerated, and when it came to Wei Yan, those families wanted to reduce the rent of thirty percent to ensure that their tenant farmers did not leave, no wonder those families had such a big opinion on Wei Yan.

After thinking about it, Wei Yansi decided that it was not appropriate to be too radical at this stage, so he said: "Then make some adjustments, the land endowment of someone in the family who joins the standing army is 30%, and the endowment of other self-cultivated farmland is increased to 50%, and the division of Mintun and Juntun is the same as Cao Cao's tuntian."

By the way, special note, the seeds are provided by the official!

Also, the order to spread is due to the coercion of the family so it will be adjusted like this, not that I Wei is greedy! ”

……

Wei Yan mentioned that "Tian Fu, who has someone in the family who joins the standing army, is thirty percent", which is a little too informative.

Now Wei Yan's power is small, mixed between Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu, but if any force has a whim and goes out, it will definitely be able to quickly annihilate his weak force.

Therefore, Wei Yan now has no choice but to adopt the system of all the people being soldiers.

First of all, all young and middle-aged men and women were incorporated into the army and received training once every five days, called the reserve militia, referred to as the reserve army, and now Wei Yan has a population of nearly 400,000, and the reserve army is about a quarter, 100,000 people.

If all the families in the three counties can be defeated, the population under control will increase by 300,000, and the reserve army will also increase by 70,000 or 80,000.

If it is changed to other places, Wei Yan's all-people military system will be strongly resisted, but the three counties of Yiyang are at the intersection of Nanyang County, Runan County, and Jiangxia County, and the activities of yellow turban thieves and bandits are rampant, making the folk customs here are also relatively fierce and martial, and some women can also use knives to defend themselves.

When the reserve army is trained in stages, they can effectively assist in the defense and combat of the regular army. Once the whole people are in place, no force will dare to easily invade the three counties of Yiyang.

Secondly, according to a certain proportion, select middle-aged men from the reserve army, plus some captured prisoners, and integrate them into the garrison army, which is mainly for local security and defense, and can also be regarded as the reserve of the standing army, and they are also the main force of the military cantonment.

Then, the regular army, also known as the standing army, is selected from the best of the garrison forces, which is the main combat force, and is not responsible for military cantonment, peacetime training, and wartime fighting.

In addition, the family members of the standing army bear less than half of the land endowment of other ordinary families, on the one hand, it is a kind of compensation for the lack of full-time and strong laborers in the family, and on the other hand, it is a kind of treatment.

The best treatment and the strictest army is Wei Yan's personal guard battalion, which is the elite of the army, which is brutally trained by Wei Yan with the training methods used by later generations to train special forces.

……

At this time, Liao Hua and Guan Hai came.

Wei Yanxian apologized and said, "I know, you don't want to wear a yellow turban anymore, but now there is a task, a task that is very important to us, and you need to pretend to be a yellow turban thief to complete it......"

It is possible that Wei Yan changed the original policy of collecting three Cheng Tian Fu, and those families would die down, but Wei Yan would definitely not tolerate the continuation of the tense family like the Bai family in his heart, and he made up his mind to uproot all the families that were ready to join forces against him this time!

Of course, these families are married to various forces, and each family is well-connected, and it is inconvenient for Wei Yan to use troops in person now, so the original identities of Liao Hua and Guan Hai can come in handy.
