011 The Land of Roots Xiaquyang

Back in Xiaquyang City, Wen Yuan personally wrote a letter with respectful words, and on the second day, he bought a large cart of wine, flesh and preserved fruits as a gift, called a confidant to follow him carefully, and transferred five or six personal guards to escort the gift car to Ren County.

After doing all this, Wen Yuan had to go back to the county government for a while, and the county magistrate of Quyang was sad enough, a few months ago when he returned from a business trip to Yecheng, he was killed by a black mountain thief, and the position of the county magistrate was vacant.

Since there is no condition to hire Tian Feng to be the department manager for the time being, but it is still enough to recruit some office clerks in Xiaquyang, Wen Yuan has not yet dealt with a county matter, so he first incorporated a few fighting foods and Zuo Shi in the county, and then he ordered the county to go to the local household registration book.

There are 4,631 households in Xiaquyang County, there are famines, bandits are rampant, so the number of mouths is unknown, it is estimated at about 20,000, of which one-fifth of the adult men stand, about 4,000 people, and the rest are women, children, old and young.

There are a total of more than 167,400 acres of land recorded, and the Eastern Han Dynasty implemented the rent system, sub-rent and endowment, and the land rent was according to 30 taxes, and it was changed to rent modulation when Emperor Wu of Wei was.

Given to Ding, including calculation, mouth, and more.

The calculation is a poll tax levied on people aged 15~56, and the tax rate is 120 yuan per person per year; The oral tax is levied on children aged 7~14, and the tax rate is 23 yuan per person per year; According to the Han system, all adult men are required to serve the government, and those who are unwilling or unable to serve in person can pay the government to hire someone instead.

Closely related to the rent system is the Han Dynasty's household registration system, in which the government prepares household registration and registers the name, gender, age, and land assets of households. Ordinary people who are officially registered with the government are called household registration Qi people. Hukou is the basis for the government to levy taxes, levy conscription, and military service.

Under the household system, the peasants in the Han Dynasty had a heavy burden due to light land rents and heavy poll taxes. In addition to normal forced labor, peasants also had to perform miscellaneous duties for the government and build roads. The mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lasted 53 years, and tens of thousands of peasants were requisitioned. In addition, during the reign of Wang Mang at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, additional taxes and exacting taxes were heavy, and even the use of mountains, forests, rivers and rivers had to pay taxes.

Julu County was still under the old system at this time, but now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the grain has been transported to the county seat, and the granaries in the county are empty and can't even feed a single mouse.

Just after the autumn harvest, you have to sow seeds, in this year, food is everything, although Wen Yuan still has more than half a year's grain in his hands, if he goes back to Luoyang, it is completely enough, but Wen Yuan has long not planned to let history repeat itself, follow Lu Bu around, for the long run, reclamation of barren tuntian, is the only way!

At this time, it shows the benefits of Wenyuan's choice of Julu as a base, the land annexation in the late Han Dynasty was serious, the landlords and wealthy clans were powerful, and the people lost their land and became tenant farmers.

That's why Wenyuan chose Julu!

Compared with other regions, Julu has a unique advantage in this regard! There are very few rich households in Xiaquyang, most of them are poor peasants who live in distress, these people work hard all year round, and most of the gains are handed over to the government, but compared to all parts of the Han Dynasty at this time, the life of the people here is quite comfortable, because the Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao is located in Julu, at the beginning of the uprising, because of the haste of change, the landlords and wealthy forces in the entire Julu territory have been purged, but after the uprising failed, and because of a great plague in the second year of Zhongping, the population of Julu suffered heavy losses, and many fertile fields have been barren and ownerless.

If you don't plough now, when will you wait? Wen Yuan decided in his heart that after the military system is rectified, we old and young masters will go into battle together to open up the wasteland and cultivate!

A few of the strong men who were caught fighting food and Zuo Shi were busy, and finally on the third day, the weapons, military uniforms, and armor were distributed to the hands of Qing Zhuang, Wen Yuan and Zhang Jaw reorganized the army, and still according to the Han military system, one thousand of them were divided into two songs, Wen Yuan and Zhang Jaw each led a song, all of them were infantry, and there were tuns under the song, and ten tun chiefs were set up under the song, or two people guarded, or selected from the excellent results of the previous training, Zhang Nanjiao touched each led a tun of officers and soldiers, and the tun was in turn for the team, the shi, and the army. The selection of officers is based on the rank of the training. In addition, dozens of people were selected from the baggage team to enlist in the army, and 300 people with tall arms and long arms were selected in the whole army, and bows and arrows were awarded to the archery team, and the captain was temporarily concurrently served by Wen Yuan, and it was cheaper in wartime, and Zhang Yu was ordered to send some personal companions, or selected from the young and strong, and awarded 50 war horses to form a scout team.

In this way, after reorganization, Wen Yuan finally has a team that belongs directly to him.

In the south of the city of Xiaquyang, a large camp has been set up here, a high platform is set up outside the camp gate, and ten big drums are erected under the stage.

The drums thundered, and the teams began to assemble in the camp, and then opened the camp gate and came to stand under the high platform.

Zhang Nan led his Yitun soldiers to walk in the first team, between which he was wearing a brand-new crimson military uniform, wearing a pig iron hood, wearing iron armor, a knife at his waist, a spear in his hand, a chest and a shy belly, high to the sky, and his subordinates behind him were wearing military uniforms of the same color, covered with leather armor, but there was no helmet on his head, no knife at his waist, and a crimson cloth head.

The two teams of halberders just passed, and then came out of the camp was a team of players, their left hand was a black shield wrapped in cowhide, the shield was painted with a hideous monster, and the ring head knife was carried in the hand, and they were also full of energy and high momentum.

Players are followed by two spearmen, and one pawn is all in the way. Then came another foot soldier, three hundred archers. As for the soldiers, they were only given old clothes and swords, and did not enter.

In the end, Wen Yuan was neatly draped, and Zhang Jaw led dozens of people with his personal retinue and scouts into the venue.

At the break of the drums, Wen Yuan wore a crown of armor, wearing a crimson da, the wind was blowing, the dayu was hunting and fluttering in the air, Wen Yuan took a step, and walked on the high platform as firmly as stepping on ten thousand jun, his eyes swept over, more than a thousand soldiers stood there in brand-new military uniforms, like a blood-colored ocean. Early in the morning, the sky was still clear at this time, densely covering the mid-autumn sun, the sky was dark, the atmosphere of slaughter in the school field was heavier, outside, a team of soldiers patrolled back and forth to maintain order, and then on the periphery, nearly 10,000 people in Quyang surrounded the entire school field.

At this time, it was the agricultural slack season, and many people had nothing to do, so they came to the outside of the school to watch the excitement, and Wenyuan did not prohibit it, but hoped to deepen the feelings of his army by letting the people watch the drills.

The school field is solemn and solemn, the needle can be heard, where Wen Yuan's eyes sweeped, although the queue is still very scattered, but every soldier straightened his chest and saluted to his main general, after a month of training, Wen Yuan smiled with satisfaction: "First of all, I want to tell you that after three rounds of strict selection, the rest of you are qualified!" From today onwards, you are officially part of our army! ”

"Whoa!" More than 1,000 people shouted in unison!
