Chapter 58: The Scarlet Massacre

Yelu Abaoji, biting his lower lip, hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "I haven't forgotten anything, but I haven't forgotten that I'm a Khitan either!" I...... I just wish it ......"

Li Cunhuan waved his hand and interrupted Yelu Abaoji's words, "Don't worry, since any thing or nation exists, then he has the value of his existence." Nor am I mad enough to destroy a nation. I would integrate the Khitans into a part of the Han people, and they will later become Han, not Khitans. ”

When Yelu Abaoji heard this, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed faintly in his heart. However, he quickly cleaned up his mood, the people of their grassland did not have a national ideology, and it was already good for Yelu Abaoji to be able to say so many things.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of foreigners were reused by the Tang Dynasty, among which the more famous one was An Lushan, who was a Turkic, but he was the biggest enemy of the Turks and Khitans. There are also some generals who were killed by the Tang Dynasty and defected to the Tang Dynasty and became generals of the Tang Dynasty, such as the Baekje Heiya Changzhi, the Goguryeo Gao Xianzhi, and the Khitan Li Guangbi. Therefore, Yelu Abaoji's weak national feelings for the Khitan people were normal at that time.

……

With the failure of the ambush, followed by Li Cunhuan's angry rage,

Although in the process of ambush, Li Cunhuan behaved very calmly, calmly, and disdainfully. But that's just a cover-up. When it was really safe, Li Cunhuan broke out.

Li Cunhuan did not use Danzhou soldiers, but used the loyal and filial army to sweep away the landlords who participated in the ambush in the cities and villages, and Pang Kongming led the wolf-like black-clothed army to attack a cottage like Lijiabao.

Li Cunhuan has been ambushed to arouse the anger in his heart, Li Cunhuan gathered all the immediate family members of the landlord, from the eighty-old man to the baby who was only a full moon.

"Kill!" The supervisor endured the tumbling of the river and the sea and smashed the token.

Dozens of sword and axe hands temporarily composed of Li Cunhuan's personal soldiers waved the ghost-headed broadsword in their hands expressionlessly. The makeshift platform had been stained dark red with blood. A headless corpse was thrown into the pit, sprinkled directly with fire oil and other materials, and thrown into a torch.

No one knows exactly how many people died in the March Bloody Massacre, but some scholars later counted that at least 1,000 people died in the March Bloody Massacre. At the same time, nearly 10,000 people were sent into slavery.

However, at the same time as Li Cunhuan's blood, he liberated the tenants of those landlords, and threw these deeds of sale into the fire in front of everyone. At the same time, Li Cunhuan sent officials to distribute all the fields to the newly liberated tenants.

Li Cunhuan declared that as long as the land was cultivated for three years, the land would belong to them. However, Li Cunhuan also said that these fields will not be charged any rent, and only two taxes (i.e., two taxes in summer and autumn) will be charged normally.

"How's it going, Master Chen, how did you get this time?" Li Cunhuan drank fragrant tea and asked gently to the middle-aged man sitting below. It is already April, and nearly a month has passed since Li Cunhuan vigorously cleaned up the landlord class.

Master Chen's name is Chen Yike, and it is estimated that his father wants Master Chen to take the imperial examination and become a jinshi. But unfortunately, Chen Yike finally followed his father's old path and became a miner. However, he is different from ordinary miners, because he has studied for a few years and wandered outside for a few years, he is much more powerful than ordinary miners.

Li Cunhuan invited him to explore the mine for himself, not that there are no mines in Danzhou now. Now Danzhou has one small gold mine and two medium-sized iron mines. Needless to say, the gold mine was not managed by the Danzhou government at all, and was directly managed by Li Kuangshou. Iron ore still needs to be paid for before it can be used.

These so-called money is still given to Li Kuangshou, an iron mine pays 1,200 yuan in iron ore tax every year, and you have to pay it if you want to, and you have to pay it if you don't want to. made Li Cunhuan very helpless, and he had to pay a total of 3,000 yuan in other taxes to Li Kuangshou every year. Give enough, Li Kuangshou doesn't care whether you go to grab or borrow. It is equivalent to the implementation of the tax package system, so that the people under their hands can live a tight life. It was useless for Li Cunhuan to go to the table even if he was ready, he had just been attacked by Yang Zhongping on the grounds of the bloody massacre he launched in March.

Therefore, Li Cunhuan can only find another way, develop a private mine, and subsidize his tight money bag, otherwise where will he get the money to raise soldiers?

Chen Yike pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward, and said, "Lord Thorn Shi, here, it's inconvenient to say ...... here."

Li Cunhuan pondered for a moment. He waved his hand and said, "You all retreat!" ”

The servants and soldiers in the hall bowed to Li Cunhuan and turned to leave the hall.

In the empty hall, only Li Cunhuan and Chen Yike remained. Chen Yike took out a red cloth wrapped thing from his arms, handed it over respectfully and said: "This is the villain's discovery, it's just a little hot!" ”

Li Cunhuan raised his eyebrows, took it, and felt quite heavy. When I opened the red cloth package, I found that it was just a yellow-colored stone wrapped inside, and I couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied.

As soon as Chen Yike saw Li Cunhuan's face, he immediately knew that Li Cunhuan had misunderstood, and hurriedly began to explain: "Lord Thorn Shi, please take a closer look here." As he spoke, he pointed to a spot on the stone with his thick black fingers.

Li Cunhuan turned over, looked at this place carefully, looked at it for a while, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help asking: "Is this gold ore!" How big is this gold mine? ”

Chen Yike said with a solemn expression: "What Lord Thorn Shi said is not wrong, this is still a high-grade gold mine. Tiny golden sand appears on the surface, proving that it is rich in gold. And I reckon it's a big gold mine! At least 3,000 taels of gold can be produced every year! ”

Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, now one tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins, that is, consistent money, but one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten to eight taels of silver depending on the local situation. According to the lowest exchange rate, 3,000 taels of gold per year is equivalent to 24,000 taels.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, before the Huangchao Uprising, the national tax revenue was more than 9.25 million guan, and these 24,000 guan were equivalent to 0.26% of the official tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty. One can imagine how huge this money is, of course, equivalent to Danzhou. Danzhou's annual tax revenue is only 8,000 yuan, and it is conceivable that if Li Kuangshou knew that Li Cunhuan was actually digging this gold mine from him, he would be angry. It's no wonder that Chen Yike was so hesitant and didn't show his credit immediately, but told Li Cunhuan secretly.
