Chapter 26: Hedong News (2)
As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.
Dong Shouye heard Du Ji's words, and said secretly: "I didn't expect this Du Ji to be covered, there was really goods in the stomach, and there were a few brushes, so I could see the key to the problem at a glance." â
Cao Wei's Tuntian in history was the foundation of his country, but later there was also a situation where Du Yi said that the tax burden of the people was too heavy and miserable.
Thinking of this, Dong Shouye opened his mouth to explain: "This matter is still a secret of our army, and it is currently only implemented in General Niu Fu's Hedong County, and it has just been implemented, and it is inevitable that there will be defects. As for the problem of the heavy burden you mentioned, there is no zĂ i yet. At the beginning, the White Polish army was defeated, and there were only two ways out, one of which was to be killed, and one was a hundred. The other is to let it go. The reason why these people raised troops was that they had no land to plant and could not feed themselves. After going back, you can't survive, you can only start a rebellion again. Wouldn't it have been in vain at the beginning, so I suggested that General Niu let the prisoners be taken to Tuntian. Now the people involved in Tuntian are some displaced people and some defeated prisoners, although the burden is heavier, but after all, it is a way to live.
After listening to this, Du Ji said: "Gongzi's words are reasonable, but Bohou is not thoughtful. â
Now in troubled times, the peasants in the world are afraid that the burden will be heavier, and when the world is stable, the burden will naturally be lightened and the people will rest. Bohou, do you know how much the land tax is now in Hedong to implement tuntian? â
Du Ji thought for a while and said: "I don't know about this matter for the time being, but according to the general's understanding, the current peasant land tax under the rule of the Kwantung princes is probably about four to fifty percent, and in some places it is far more than that, plus some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, I am afraid it is far more than fifty to sixty percent." â
Dong Shouye smiled and said: "Now the field tax in Tuntian in Hedong is about fifty percent, and the miscellaneous tax is abolished, but it is necessary to participate in the construction of some river embankments and canals nearby when the farmers are slack, so as to facilitate irrigation in the coming year." â
Du Ji: "I see, Gongzi, this move is a moral policy, you might as well suggest to the prime minister to implement this matter." â
Dong Shouye shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, this government has just been implemented in Hedong for a year, and there are no outstanding achievements, I am afraid that I can't convince my father at present, and I can't convince the Yanyan princes in the court." I have to wait a while, and when I have made some achievements, I will explain this matter to my father, and let him arrange to persuade the court to implement it on a large scale. â
Du Ji felt that his son-in-law was reasonable, so he said: "That's fine. Then wait and see. â
Dong Shouye saw that Du Yi stopped talking, so he turned to Yang Feng and asked, "Captain Yang, this son has something I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer truthfully." â
At this time, Yang Feng was a little confused, and said secretly: "Recently, Childe has always regarded himself as his own person, and when many henchmen are discussing, he is present, and Childe is not guarding himself at all, it stands to reason that Childe should not suddenly see him?" What the hell is going on? Yang Feng scratched his head and didn't have a clue at all, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Son, please speak, the last general knows everything." â
When Dong Shouye saw Yang Feng's appearance, he knew that what he asked was a little inexplicable, so he said again: "Captain Yang, you don't have to be nervous. In fact, Ben Gongzi mainly wants to ask some things about the internal affairs of the Bai Bo Army, I am afraid that you will be inconvenient, but you can rest assured, you are also a confidant of Ben Gongzi now, and Ben Gongzi will not ask about those things that make you betray your friends, making it difficult for you to be a person. â
The conversation between the boss and his subordinates also pays attention to skills, Dong Shouye is reluctant to ask some questions that Yang Feng is unwilling to answer, after all, everyone has secrets, even if Yang Feng has already served Dong Shouye and become Dong Shouye's confidant, Dong Shouye is unwilling to ask the secrets that he is unwilling to reveal in his heart.
As soon as Dong Shouye said these words, he was immediately moved by Yang Feng, the rectum, and immediately knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Gongzi Xie understands, Gongzi can rest assured, as long as you don't let the last general betray your friends, the last general will guarantee that you know everything." â
Seeing this, Dong Shouye asked, "Captain Yang, if you contact Bai Bojun now, can you still contact him?" â
Yang Feng was about to speak, when Du Yi interjected: "What does Gongzi mean by this, the Baibo army rebelled against the imperial court and made a rebellion, and it is categorically not gullible, although our army is a little tight at this time, it has not yet reached the point where it has to rely on reinforcements for support." Moreover, I heard that the Bai Bo army was defeated by Childe, and its leader must have a grudge against Childe. If it is led south at this time, it is tantamount to driving away the tiger and attracting the wolf, which is absolutely unacceptable, and the risk is too great. Even if you want to appease the White Polish Army, it should be after the war is over. â
In the eyes of some people, a thief is a thief, and there is not enough to trust.
Although Du Yi's words were unintentional by you, they suddenly made Yang Feng blush.
Seeing this, Dong Shouye waved his hand and said, "Bohou is too worried, this matter is not as you think." Read on! â
Then he turned to Yang Feng and said, "Captain Yang, you go on." â
At this moment, it was Du Ji's turn to blush, and said secretly: "Could it be that I misunderstood, this time it is too big!" I didn't dare to interject casually at the moment, and patiently listened to both sides continue to talk.
Yang Feng thought for a while and said, "Returning to Gongzi, this matter should be possible, but it will take a certain amount of time." â
Dong Shouye asked again: "I don't know Mrs. Guo, how is this person?" â
Yang Feng replied: "This person has a heroic personality and is also quite brave, and his martial arts are better than those of the last general. He is the most intelligent in the White Wave Army, and he is also a good talent. At the end of that year, when he was in the White Wave Army, everyone was led by this person, and he did things impartially, and everyone believed in him and supported him. However, this person, a family of more than a dozen people were forced to death by the government, it can be said that Mrs. Guo and the government have a deep hatred of the sea, and they hate the court to the core, but it is very difficult to surrender. â
Dong Shouye sighed when he heard this, and said, "It's all a group of poor people!" The reason why they committed rebellion is simply because there is no way to live. When Ben Gongzi pacified the Baibo Army the year before last, he found that this group of people was just some peasants. As long as they are given a way to live, no one will want to make trouble. For these people, there is no need to kill them all, tens of thousands of people who were captured back then are either in the army, or in Tuntian, Hedong, which can be regarded as a way to live! â
In the 21st century, Dong Shouye is a standard ancestor of eight generations of blood-poor peasants, as the so-called life can not forget the roots, Dong Shouye has always kept this in mind, and remembered that he was born as a farmer.
When Yang Feng heard his son's words, he was so moved that tears kept falling, and he said: "Gongzi Xie, the last person who will be the person of Baibo will thank Gongzi for his understanding." â
Dong Shouye obviously remembered something at this time, and stood there in a daze, without saying a word.
