Li Qin said with a smile: "He will be the captain in the future, Captain Gao." ”

Jia Xu next to him sighed and said, "Captain Gao? Is it a team leader? Wouldn't that demote him, Gao Shun would be unhappy. ”

Li Qin smiled: "He's the captain!" ”

Waiting for Gao Shun to get closer, Li Qin said: "General Gao, did you smash the city wall?" Just smash one side, it's enough to repair it, if it all falls, wouldn't it be equivalent to building a new city, how can we have so much time! ”

Gao Shun reined in the war horse and said with a smile: "You can ask others to repair it, maybe it will be bigger!" ”

Li Qin shook his head and asked, "What about Dian Wei?" Why didn't he come with you? ”

Gao Shun pointed to the county seat and said, "General Dian is placing prisoners." It's really strange to say, I thought that those Qiang people had to run clean, but it was just one night's work, and tens of thousands of people came back, although the old and weak were the majority, but there were a lot of women inside, I don't know what they came back for, could it be that they didn't know, the soldiers would see the women and go forward lifelessly, they took the initiative to run as prisoners, this is very dangerous! ”

Li Qin shook his head lightly and did not speak. But Jia Xu said: "The reason is very simple, many of the Qiang people came from Liangzhou, and they originally had nothing, and now they have nothing, except for their lives." Those women must have no family, they can't live anymore, and they care about anything else. And if they can be favored by any soldier, they can always get some food, and maybe they will be taken back to Liangzhou. For you, they shouldn't come back, but for them, coming back is much better than not coming back, and the chances of survival are much greater! ”

Gao Shun sighed and thought about it, but he still said: "Fortunately, they met our horn soldiers, if they changed to someone else's army, they would suffer." In short, he valued his reputation more than his life, and his surname was not in danger, so he could not empathize and understand the misery of the people who suffered from the war.

Li Qin rode into the city, and after entering the city, he saw that the avenue was full of Hu refugees who had switched to the Fujiao army, and when these refugees saw that an army was coming, not only did they not dodge, but instead came up and stretched out their hands to ask the soldiers for food, the scene was miserable, and it was really unimaginable for those who were full of food.

Li Qin said softly: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering." He looked at the countless refugees and imagined that in a few years, when the world was in turmoil, this kind of tragedy would appear everywhere in the entire Han Empire.

The Fujiao soldiers in front of him opened the way for him, and the generals tightly surrounded him, not allowing the refugees to approach, Li Qin enjoyed the pomp and circumstance that only big bureaucrats have, but his mood was extremely heavy.

When he arrived at the county office, the county office had been cleaned up, and he was waiting for him to come in and live. Li Qin saw that a plaque with the inscription "The Palace to Return to" was thrown on the wall at the door, he shook his head, dismounted and walked into the county office, and sat down in the hall, and the generals of the Fujiao Army were separated from the left and right and sat on either side of him.

After waiting for a while, waiting for the generals to breathe, Li Qin said: "Everyone has seen the situation outside. Although our army won a great victory, it was easy to fight the turf, but it was difficult to defend the turf. Not to mention that I may become the assassin of the state, even if I can't be, we can't just leave, leave a mess behind, which will lead to a bigger rebellion, today there is a Li Wenhou, tomorrow there may be Wang Wenhou, today there will be a big Zhao, tomorrow there may be a big Jin. ”

At this point, he paused for a moment and then said, "Why is this happening?" Tell me, why? Everyone said, no one is allowed not to squeak! ”

Shen Yi's mouth was the fastest, and he said first: "This is simple, so it's easy to answer tightly." As long as the people have a stutter, as long as they can live today, no one will think about rebelling tomorrow. ”

The generals all nodded, and everyone said that this was the case, most of them were from poor families, and they deeply understood the suffering of the people at the bottom. What is the most terrible thing in this world? That is when the people who do not have overnight food at home open their eyes in the morning!

Zhang Qin is not the general of the Fujiao Army, he was silent, but he also remembered his past, if it weren't for the fact that his family was so poor that he didn't even have scum, how could he be a eunuch, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, if he can get by, is he like this!

But in the entire lobby, the only person who was not moved by Shen Yi's words was Yuan Shao, he was born in a wealthy family, he had never suffered in his life, he had never eaten at all, he had never been hungry, and he had never felt the pain of where the next meal was. One is hopeful, and the other is hopeless, when people have no hope, everything is done, and Yuan Shao just didn't feel this way.

Yuan Shao thought to himself: "These people are too petty, even if they don't have anything to eat, what can they do?" Starvation is small, loss of festival is big, and this is still the case for women, let alone a dignified man? Could it be that because we are going to starve to death, we will rebel, and we will ignore the general righteousness? No wonder the people don't like to read, they don't know the words of the sages if they don't read, the big husband can't bend when he is mighty, and the poor can't move ......"

His idea is that he doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, and he is the kind of person who hears that the people have no food, and he will be very strange, and think that the people are stupid. The people have nothing to eat, what does it matter, if you don't eat, you won't get meat!

Of course, even if Yuan Shao disagreed with the opinions of the people in the Fujiao Army, he didn't dare to say it in public, looking at the arrogance of these people in the Fujiao Army, if he raised objections now, then these lawless guys would have to throw him into the river, give him a bath, and moisten his throat by the way. Silence is golden, Yuan Shao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, lest he offend others like he offended Zhang Qin.

Li Qin nodded and said, "General Shen is right, as long as the people can survive, they will not rebel." But why did they rebel? Isn't it because I can't live anymore? When we were in Liangzhou, we were limited to one place in Fujiao, at best, we could influence Beidi County, although I became the captain of the Qiang Protector, but because the time was too short, there were too few things that could really be done for the herdsmen of all ethnic groups in Qiang, and I hardly did anything......

All the generals shook their heads together, saying that Li Lang was too humble, he didn't do much, but he made a good start, as long as he continued to do it in the future, it would be a matter of time before the herdsmen of all ethnic groups in Qiang and Di united around him.

Jia Xu said: "Ah Qin, you let Liu Sheng of Daliangqiang be the deputy lord of our Fujiao Fort, in fact, this is not just treating the Qiang people well, but treating them as your own!" Otherwise, why do the people of all ethnic groups in other places always rebel, only our Fujiao Fort is fine? It's not just that our Fujiao Fort is fine, but the entire Northland County is fine, it's all your credit! ”

The generals nodded together, and Zhong Yu and Liu Xun said together: "Li Lang, you treat me as a family of Qiangdi people, you have done a lot." "These two archers, one is a Qiang and the other is a Di person, they are now both senior generals of the Fujiao Army, no one has ever discriminated against them, and no one has ever discussed their origins with them, others can't feel it, how can they not feel it!

Li Qin said: "I'm just making a start, and I haven't promoted the benefits of our Fujiao Fort to the entire Liangzhou, let alone merging the state." ”

This time, even Zhang Qin couldn't help it, he said: "Li Lang, we just arrived in Bingzhou, we have already fought a war, and we don't have time to do anything else!" ”

Li Qin clapped his hands and said: "Lieutenant Zhang said it well, we are patronizing the war, and we haven't had time to do anything else, so now that the war is over, we should do something else." ”

Except for Yuan Shao, everyone in the hall nodded, it was really time to do something, such as conscription. If Li Qin becomes the assassin of the state and also has the errand of protecting the captain, then there will be more soldiers and horses in charge, and the best way is to take advantage of the fact that there are too many refugees to count, and recruit a group well, no matter how you can recruit another 10,000 elite soldiers, this is all a little to say.

Li Qin said: "Gaonu County is not prosperous here, if you go further north, then there is more land, not that no one cultivates, not that no one wants to graze, but that the tax is too heavy." The taxes here in Bingzhou are much heavier than in our Liangzhou, right? ”

Jia Xu said: "I also inquired about these words, if you want to say whether the tax is heavy, to tell the truth, if you want to be lighter than our Liangzhou, you really can't find it." However, the tax here in the state is indeed quite heavy, and it is almost the same as in the Central Plains, and I heard that it has been received for ten years. When the assassin Song Xiao encouraged his soldiers to fight, it seemed that one of the rewards was tax exemption. ”

Li Qin nodded and said: "Although it is hearsay, it also shows a truth, that is, the people can't afford to pay taxes." I decided to divide all the ownerless land in Gaonu County to the refugees, 20 acres per person, regardless of men and women, old and young, all have a share, if the cooked land in Gaonu County is not enough, and then go north, 30 acres of wasteland per person, this is called equal wealth and poverty, no matter where it is, but here, no big landlords are allowed, no matter who wants to eat, they have to work in the field, this is called fighting local tyrants and dividing the land. As for the ...... of taxes"

He secretly calculated in his heart, there are still a few years left in the chaos, and if the chaos is to be calmed down, it will take a few more years, and it will take a few years to recuperate, and it should be fifteen to twenty years before the people will have a stable life, it seems that it is still not enough, and it will take many years before the Three Kingdoms are established.

He clapped his hands and said, "Tax exempt, exempt for thirty years." Tell the people of all ethnic groups who have been assigned to the land that after they are assigned to the land, I, the Fujiao Army, will issue them with a voucher that they will not have to pay taxes for thirty years, and if anyone dares to collect their taxes, let them go to Fujiao Fort to find me, or if they know where I am, they will go to me, and I will be the master for them! ”

When the generals heard this, they were all surprised, it is easy to fight local tyrants, how can there be local tyrants in Gaonu County now, and it is easy to divide the fields, now there are ownerless fields everywhere, and they can be tax-exempt for 30 years, can you do 30 years of history of merging with the state? It is difficult to have the surname Li for 30 years, unless it is ...... You really let the surname of Bingzhou be Li!
