Chapter 274: The People's Aspirations

At noon, when everyone was eating and celebrating in the barracks, they saw Li Kui coming back with a hum.

Chao Yong saw that there was not a drop of blood on Li Kui's body, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter, it's fun to kill?" ”

Li Kui picked up the Jiao Ting wine bowl, drank it all, and said: "Those birds without eggs are running faster than the other, and I haven't caught one for twenty miles." Hua Rong's horse army stopped tens of thousands of people, but when I caught up, those who resisted had already been killed by Hua Rong and them, and the rest abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and I couldn't do it again. I was impatient to take the prisoners for them, so I came back alone. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "If you practice more with Dai Zong, when you have legs and feet like him, you will be able to kill happily." ”

When Li Kui heard this, he shook his head and said: "Brother Dai Zong is running around when he has nothing to do, I have that idle time, it is better to eat two bowls of wine and sleep happily." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Then it's no wonder that others." ”

Dai Zong was born with a scud and ran fast since he was a child, but in order to run far, he worked hard every day, and he didn't know how many miles he had to run.

Shi Wengong heard that Hua Rong had captured tens of thousands of people again, but he was moved, but he also knew that his merits were still less, so he immediately said: "Prince, now that Cai You's army has been defeated, why don't we take advantage of the situation to capture a few more cities." ”

Liu Tang also said: "We simply went directly to Tokyo, killed Zhao Ji'er, and let Brother Chao Gai go to Tokyo to be the emperor, Tokyo must be a hundred times better than Qingzhou." ”

When Han Cunbao heard this, he shook his head and said: "Although the Tokyo Forbidden Army is unbearable, but the city of Tokyo is strong, even if the soldiers and horses from all over the country do not save it, Tokyo can be defended for several months." If we can't break through Tokyo, we will be surrounded by soldiers from all over the world, but we should be sure to fight steadily. ”

Liu Tang said with a smile: "We have artillery, so we don't have to worry about not being able to defeat Tokyo." ”

Ling Zhen nodded and said, "The artillery is powerful enough to blow open all the city gates. ”

When Wang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "What artillery can blow open the city gate?" ”

Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao, and Li Congji also looked at Ling Zhen suspiciously.

They are also veterans of the battlefield, so they naturally know the power of artillery. Generally, it is difficult to blow up and injure people, let alone blow up the city gates. However, they knew that they had just surrendered, but it was inconvenient to ask about this was obviously an important weapon. Only Wang Huan, although he was over sixty years old, was still straightforward and asked questions.

When Ling Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chao Yong.

Chao Yong smiled: "There are no outsiders in the tent, just say it." ”

Wang Huan and the four of them were also excited when they heard Chao Yong say this.

Ling Zhen said with a smile: "My Liang artillery is not the same fireworks powder as the Song Dynasty, but the black powder that the prince configured according to the recipe given by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang. As long as the portion is sufficient. Don't say that the city gate can be blown down, even the city wall can be blown down. Qingzhou City was captured by us by blowing up the city gates. ”

Wang Huan directly ignored the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, and said in disbelief: "If there is really this black powder, then there will be no city that cannot be attacked." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said: "It is not difficult to attack Tokyo, the difficult thing is to sweep away the soldiers and horses of King Qin and conquer the city, only enough soldiers and horses can support us to dominate the world, otherwise what is the use of us guarding a Tokyo." ”

Shi Wengong said: "In the past, we didn't have enough soldiers and horses, but now we have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and General Hua has captured more than 10,000 people. Tens of thousands of people should be able to reorganize Tokyo by taking over. 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough to sweep the world. ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he was also stunned, and unconsciously Daliang seemed to really have the strength to sweep away the Song Dynasty, although most of the soldiers and horses under his command were newly surrendered. But as long as it has been sweeping the world with the momentum of thunder, no one will dare to have different intentions.

Everyone saw Chao Yong pondering, and they couldn't help but quiet down. Looking at Chao Yong.

Li Kui was eating and drinking, and suddenly found that the tent was quiet, and only the sound of him eating and drinking was left. didn't stop, pulled a chicken leg, took a bite, and said vaguely: "If you have anything to think, if you want to say it, you will beat his mother." Brother Chao Gai became emperor one day earlier, and the people suffered one less day. ”

Chao Yong looked at Li Kui strangely and said, "Tie Niu, when did you know how the people felt?" ”

Li Kui said: "I was thirsty in the morning, so I went to a village to find water to drink, they thought I was a strong man at first, and kowtowed to me to beg for mercy, but after I said that it was General Daliang, they changed it to kowtow to thank you." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "What do they thank you for?" ”

Li Kui said with a smug face: "They thanked me for exempting all agricultural taxes and forced labor, and killed many corrupt officials, and the county officials did not dare to go to the village to blackmail them again." I also lent them seeds, and I borrowed as much as I borrowed and repaid after the autumn, and I didn't need to add interest to any other way with the previous dynasty. ”

The Qingmiao Law implemented by Wang Anshi was in the first month and May of each year, and the people could borrow money and goods from the imperial court, but when the summer and autumn taxes were collected, the people had to add two-tenths of the interest to return them. In Wang Anshi's view, this is already a very low interest. Because if the people borrow money from the landlord, the lowest is nine out of thirteen, that is to say, if you borrow nine times, you will have to pay back the money. There are even seven out of thirteen. It can be said that once you borrow money from the landlord, the final result is that most of the end results are to sell your house and land, or even sell your children and daughters.

When Daliang formulated the Qingmiao Law, Wu Yong and others also advocated copying Wang Anshi's changes, but Chao Yong directly suggested borrowing as much as he could, but only borrowing seeds, not money. In order to prevent the people from lending out the beams and selling them for other livelihoods, the upper limit of each person's borrowing was stipulated, and if you want to borrow more, you must take out the certificate of land deed.

Yan Qing couldn't help but quip: "When did Tie Niu also lend seeds to the people?" ”

Li Kui glared at Yan Qing and said, "Isn't it the same as if Liang borrowed it?" ”

Wu Song nodded and said: "Tie Niu is right, the sooner the world is unified, the people will be able to suffer one less day." The Song Dynasty was full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they didn't know how many people they would kill in one day. ”

Chao Yong nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then we will prepare to attack Tokyo and dominate the world." ”

"Good"

"Good"

"Good"

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but cheer.

Chao Yong waved his hand to stop everyone and said, "But this matter still has to be revealed to my father, and I will personally go back to Qingzhou today." You must step up your efforts to reorganize your troops and horses, and be ready to attack Tokyo at any time. In three or five days, I will be back. ”

Li Congji thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "Yesterday, Cai You's traitor once asked the Guangji army to collect the rout, and I am afraid that a large number of rout troops have been collected there. And many of those soldiers and horses are under our command, which is easy to reorganize. ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, then I will capture the Guangji Army first, and then I will go back to Qingzhou to discuss the attack on Tokyo." Everyone ate less wine, and in the afternoon the army marched. (To be continued.) )
