Huaxia has always been a southern ship and a northern horse. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] The south is suitable for boat navigation because of its many rivers and lakes. In the north, there are many plains, which are more suitable for the high-speed movement of horses.

This is the case on the ground near the Sili on the left side of Luoyang City. Except for some famous peaks, the entire vicinity of Sili is a fertile plain with a large population suitable for farming. Land annexation is also the most intense in this area.

After Gao Yang completely mastered Luoyang City and the surrounding areas, it was not long before he began to completely change these places from beginning to end.

Gao Yang learned from the statistics of the Han court that the number of people in the Jingyang area in the south was about 13 to 15 million, while the population of Yizhou was 6 or 7 million. The total population of the entire South is about 20 million.

As for the north, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, there were at least 37 million people. The Sili area around Luoyang City alone has a population of nearly four million!

Numbers of this magnitude are absolutely invincible in the world of this era. There is no country or nation that can compare with the demographic dividend of the Han Empire. More importantly, the quality of the population in this era is far from being comparable to those of the later dynasties of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties that suppressed bloodiness on a large scale. Those dynasties had hundreds of millions of people, but they were slaughtered and enslaved by no more than a million aliens, and the advantage of population was not brought into play at all.

The people of the Han Dynasty advocated martial arts, the people were equipped with weapons, the people were enthusiastic and martial, and the science and technology were leading the world. Adult males undergo a period of formal military training each year before they enter service, followed by two years of formal service. This is the ambition of 'one Han to five yi'.

After the mass killings, famines, natural disasters and spread of disease during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population of the north has been greatly reduced, but the total number is still above 30 million.

However, the population in the Sili area has hardly changed, and even if there is a decrease, it will soon be filled by people from other places. After all, this is the essence of the entire empire.

The first thing Gao Yang, who has absolute strength, did was to completely control the little emperor and the imperial court in his hands. Firmly hold the name of righteousness. Prime Minister Cao Cheng has long proved the correctness of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes'.

Gao Yang himself hung up the title of captain, and Cai Yong became commonplace. In addition, there are some small officials who have no background, and the small officials who were safe and sound in the previous Gaoyang Cleaning Family Gate Valve are like rockets, and they have risen to a high position that they have never thought of before. The previous clean-up work had created a lot of vacant official positions in the imperial court.

These people knew where they came from, and in order to protect the pie that fell from the sky, they were unusually loyal to Gao Yang.

Besides. Gao Yang arranged a large number of specially trained biochemical soldiers into the imperial court, mainly responsible for the daily administrative work of various important departments. Seize the power of the Han Empire from the very bottom.

This is also done to make things easier for Gao Yang. After having the name of righteousness, Gao Yang has become much easier no matter what he does.

Before the end of the long winter, Gao Yang sent Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others to attack everywhere with their troops. The entire Sili area was combed through fiercely. In addition to the family gate valve, the goal of combing also includes local heroes.

In this era, the main thing that is lying on the Han Empire and desperately sucking blood is the strength of various places and the deep-rooted family gate valve that has been inherited for a hundred years. These people greedily annexed land on a large scale by various means, and forced large numbers of peasants to become tenants who cultivated for them. This practice has greatly damaged the very foundations of the country.

The powerful families and the government colluded with each other to desperately oppress the common people.

Since Liu Xiuguang restored the Han Dynasty. Because of the massive increase in population, the land contradiction is becoming more and more serious, and the newly developed land is completely unable to keep up with the population growth.

The collusion between the Yankuai of the court officials and the local tyrants caused a large number of peasants to lose their livelihood and become miserable tenants without any security or rights. This also laid a fatal danger for the eventual collapse of the empire.

In addition, there are many lawless merchants in the vicinity of Sili, especially in Luoyang City. These big businessmen, who can't see anything in their eyes except copper coins, dare to sell anything and do any business.

They dare to sell people to mines and other places. Dare to sell land to local tycoons. He even dared to sell salt, iron, tea and other strategic materials related to the security of the country to the nomads on the grassland. It can be summed up in one sentence, as long as there is money, these big businessmen dare to do any business.

For these parasites that belong to the nature of destroying the country, Gao Yang will not be soft-hearted at all.

In just over ten days, a large number of elite cavalrymen fought in their respective generals (most of them were biochemical warriors. ) swept the entire Sili area.

In this era when almost all local heroes are evil, Gao Yang will not wronged a good person when he starts.

A wealthy family, a large family, and a high-ditch mansion were strongly attacked. Those who used to show off their might. The heroes of the fish and meat people have become ghosts under the swords and guns.

The vicious servants and thugs were beheaded, and the corpses were piled up. After the lavish manor mansion was looted by the turned-out tenants, a fire was burned.

The tenants were declared emancipated and regained their freedom. They redistributed the land from Gao Yang's hands to those powerful people. The wealth and grain that the powerful have accumulated for many years have also been confiscated. Grain, farm tools, seeds, and large livestock were almost all distributed on the spot to the emancipated tenants.

As for the seized goods and other things, they were rewarded to the sergeants who participated in the operation. Gao Yang's approach has not only made millions of people his most die-hard supporters. It is also firmly in the hands of a large number of troops.

......

"My lord, so much grain has been distributed, and no one in Luoyang City can shake the loyalty of the people in Luoyang City to the lord." Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, the people of Luoyang City, all with smiles on their faces, lined up in this cold winter day to receive a large amount of grain per capita. Jia Xu, who was smart-minded, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After Luoyang City lifted the siege, Gao Yang opened the granary in the city and began to distribute grain for free on a large scale in order to calm the hearts of the army and the people.

As the most valuable material of this era, there is nothing more attractive to the people than grain.

Most of Gao Yang's soldiers and horses were natives of Luoyang City. Most of their families live in this Luoyang City. In this Luoyang city. These families are not even well-off.

In the days when the Western Liang Army and the Kwantung Coalition Army were besieging the city before. The hearts of the people in the city fluctuated, and the major merchants hoarded and raised the price of grain and salt to earn national hardship. In addition to deepening the cost of living and fear of the people in Luoyang. It also laid a fatal curse for his own destruction.

When Gao Yang finished the battle and regained his hands, the first ones to clean up were these big merchants in Luoyang City.

Almost all of the big shots who could protect them had fallen into Gao Yang's hands. As for their own armed forces, they are not enough in front of the army.

In this completely uncoping situation, the big merchants in the entire Luoyang City were almost swept away. Gao Yang also unearthed a large amount of goods, grain, and various materials from these people's homes and hidden burial sites.

Gao Yang himself definitely didn't need these things, and because of the destruction of these big merchants, the normal order of life in the city was disrupted. After a brief thought, Gao Yang decided to give everything away for free.

And then there is the scene in front of us today. The people in the entire Luoyang City can receive supplies according to their household registration.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction. said with a smile: "I believe that everything comes out of the barrel of the gun, but the basis of the barrel of the gun is these ordinary people who are not valued by everyone on weekdays." They are the cornerstone of everything. Whoever can get their support can have everything. ”

After a pause, Gao Yang continued with a strange expression, "The imperial court is like a big ship sailing in water. And the people of the whole world are the water that supports the big ship. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. ”

After listening to Gao Yang's words, Jia Xu was slightly moved, and after a moment of deep silence, he saluted Gao Yang respectfully, and said with admiration, "The lord has unparalleled insight and admires it." ”

Gao Yang smiled and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, saying, "Now the whole country is full of large-scale land annexation, and countless people have lost their homes and the land they depend on for their livelihood. They are either starved to death, or they sell their sons and daughters to sell themselves, or they leave everything behind and rise up. Isn't that how the Yellow Turban Rebellion came about? To gain the support of these people, it is very simple, and that is to redistribute the land from the hands of the powerful to them. As for those greedy and unbridled families who desperately want to snatch everything, just get rid of them all. ”

"But." Jia Xu said with some hesitation: "To govern the world or something, you still need these people." ”

"Hush." Gao Yang pursed his lips with disdain, and said indifferently, "Isn't it just that you can read and write?" What's the big deal about that? The college students who lost their jobs after graduation went to the sea. What is it compared to them? ”

"Huh?" Jia Xu, who was confused, wondered, "What is a college student?" ”

Gao Yang paused slightly, smiled, and said, "It's nothing." I mean, even if you want to govern the country, there is no shortage of them. Turning to look at the dense crowd of people, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It is absolutely not advisable to rely on monopoly knowledge to obtain profits. I want universal education to completely change the rules that have been in operation for thousands of years. Eradicate illiteracy, start now! (To be continued.) )xh118
