Chapter 441: Daring
The policy formulated by Wuhou Lei Hu has made a lot of pit for the heroes and heroes of the clan in the territory.
In particular, the Hou Mansion's move to divide the land directly turned all the tenants in the territory into free people, and directly cut off most of the foundation of the local nobles.
Without the response of a large number of tenants, the local gentry clan was not a strong fart, not to mention the influence plummeted, and even the fields could not be cultivated in time, forcing the nobles who had always been high to go into battle in person, almost forcing them into a corner.
It's a pity that the south at this time is no longer the period of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty, and the powerful power of the local scholars has seriously declined, and they can't afford to have the courage to fight against Wu Hou at all.
They were in dire need of a lot of labor to help cultivate the large number of fields in the hands of the family, so they started the idea of buying and selling slaves and homeless people, and of course it was also a small temptation for Wu Hou.
Under Lei Hu's rule, the household registration management was very strict, and all the people who did not declare their household registration within the specified time were found to be subject to compulsory labor for half a year, and only after the compulsory labor was completed could they obtain the household registration documents issued by the government and become a glorious member of the territory.
In the era of war, many people would rather become black households than go to the government to register and receive household registration, and there is naturally no shortage of such people under Lei Hu's rule.
In the past, the black households among these people were mixed in the crowd, or they were committed to the families of the noble clans, and it was quite difficult for the government to inquire about them.
But now the situation is different, and the militarized management regulations promulgated by Lei Hu have completely eliminated the possibility of these black households hiding.
Militarized management is no joke, every village under Lei Hu's rule is a camp, and all villagers, young and old, are registered reservists, under the command and command of specialized officers and generals, and it is simply impossible to mix in them as black households.
In addition, the Hou government is also very strict in the supervision of black households, and once it is discovered, there is no difference in the labor reform.
This point is quite liked by the local government, such as the black household, such as the free labor, they wish to have as much as possible, and in the past few years, the black household hidden in the family of the noble family has been swept away.
In this way, there was a serious shortage of labor in the noble family of the Shi clan, otherwise it would not have been cultivated by the Shi clan and important guards.
Anyway, the human resources in the territory were swept away by the Hou Mansion, leaving almost no way for the local nobles to live.
The power of the Shi clan led by Wu Hou was dealt a heavy blow, not only was the number of people who could be mobilized pitifully small, but the most important influence also shrank significantly.
Strict military management is implemented in the territory, and Lei Hu hardly needs the help of the members of the Shi clan to manage the place, which also compresses the energy of the local Shi clan to the extreme.
They didn't have the courage to directly confront Wu Hou, so they could only play some tricks that couldn't be put on the table.
For example, secretly fighting with the southern rebels, from time to time to deliver grain and grass materials to the rebels, making amazing profits, and at the same time creating trouble for Wuhou Leihu.
Don't look at the Sui army general Shi Wansui won a series of battles, leading the counterinsurgency Sui army to almost sweep the rebellion, but the southern terrain environment limited the speed and efficiency of the counterinsurgency.
After all, the rebels are all local snakes, even if they are defeated and scattered, as long as they are not all captured and captured, they can quickly gather together again and continue to fight against the rebel Sui army.
This gave Shi Wansui a great headache, and he even thought about killing for this reason, but he was stopped by Yang Guang, the king of Jin who was sitting in Yangzhou, and he was naturally extremely angry with the southern forces of the bandits.
If he knew that Wu Hou had the power to secretly communicate with the rebels, how angry and dissatisfied would he be?
Of course, there is only so much that the warrior forces led by Wu Hou can do, they don't have the courage to really go into battle shirtless, if they cause dissatisfaction from both the Great Sui and Wu Hou, their life will not be easy.
As for recruiting homeless people, there is also the matter of buying and selling slaves, in addition to solving the trouble of the family's serious lack of labor, it also has the intention of testing the bottom line of Wu Hou's tolerance for them.
In addition to owning land and a large amount of money and materials, the most important thing is to have enough armed forces to protect the safety of the family, that is, the so-called private soldiers.
Where did the private soldiers of the big family come from, and they were not selected from the many tenant children under their command, so that the private soldiers under their interests could be more loyal.
Therefore, tenants are not useless to the nobles, but they are the main objects of the nobles' accumulation of money and food, and they are also the cornerstone of their own status.
As long as Wuhou Leihu does not stop it, with their money and power, they can recruit enough homeless people in a short period of time, and at the same time buy enough slaves to use.
Obviously, the practices of these scholars ran counter to the rules of Wu Houling, so the officials below reported the news as soon as possible.
"Since they're willing to spend money, let them do it!"
Lei Hu didn't care, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the territory will replenish manpower in the future, so I will ask for it from this group of Zishi clan Haoqiang!" ”
Anyway, the territory implements a strict military management system, and the local scholars have little intersection with the common people, and those bought slaves and recruited homeless people only go around the Shi manor, and they will not have much contact with the people in the territory, so there is no need to worry that such a thing will break the rules.
"General, I'm afraid that these warriors won't agree!"
The general who came to report the matter asked with some concern.
"It's fine!"
Lei Hu waved his hand and said with a disapproving expression: "Let's wait for these new slaves and homeless people to work in the Shi Clan's manor for three years, and then ask them to come!" ”
This method is too domineering.
The general who reported the matter was secretly speechless, and he cooperated with the local scholars to get people here, and after three years of labor training, they all had to be cheapened by the Hou Mansion.
I'm afraid that the high-level of the Zishi clan will make a fuss.
They don't care if they make trouble or not, anyway, with the strength of the Hou Mansion that is expanding all the time, as long as the system does not collapse and the order is not chaotic, there is no need to worry that this group of Zishi clan will make trouble.
These guys are the most interesting, in the face of absolute power, they can only bow their heads and submit to softness, and besides, didn't Lei Hu leave a hole for them, I really thought that they didn't need to pay a price for buying and selling people in private, and recruiting landless people.
It is enough for them to exploit these outsiders for three years, and when these people fully adapt to the rhythm of life and the environment of the territory, they will naturally turn them into free people and become part of the strength of the Hou Mansion.
As for the local gentry who have been robbed of tenants or slaves, they are not short of money and means anyway, and they continue to buy new batches.
In this way, the territory will have a steady stream of qualified new blood to join, and there is no need to worry about the adaptation of the new blood, and there is no need to trouble the Hou Mansion to spend energy to counsel these new blood people how to survive in the territory, and these local scholars have already helped in advance.
Lei Hu's thoughts, even the closest Qingxu Lao Dao can't figure it all out, let alone others.
However, the local scholars who were cautiously tempting saw that Wu Hou turned a blind eye to their actions, and they were immediately relieved and excited, and they were ready to do a big job.
If Wu Hou really strictly forbade it, it is estimated that they would all cry.
With so many fields under the family's name, just looking at a group of pampered and accustomed clansmen, as well as guards who are easy to cultivate with knives and guns, it is simply a disaster.
At last, there are enough tenants to cultivate the fields, and at the same time let them be oppressed and exploited, and continue to enjoy the nourishing life of the Venerable Masters.
Some of the noble families were ambitious, thinking that Wu Hou had relaxed his suppression of them, and was ready to recruit young and strong refugees to make up for their previous losses, and even to raise the family's strength to a higher level.
In other words, although their life has not been very easy in recent years, the family has accumulated a lot of money and food.
Lei Hu's ability to govern the place naturally goes without saying, it just so happens that the territory is in a good year, almost every year is a bumper harvest, as a powerful faction in the territory, the granary of the local scholar clan has never been vacant in recent years.
In addition, the improvement of the official system of the territory has made a lot of money in the business of the local scholars, and the taxes collected by the government are not heavy, but the money and food in the hands of the local scholars in the territory are extremely abundant.
At this time, Lei Hu let go, and the local gentry clan, who were extremely lacking in labor and tenants, were not waving money and grain to solicit manpower.
In previous years, it would have been difficult to recruit enough people in the south.
Although the Sui army's counterinsurgency was extremely rapid, the rebellion still caused great damage to the production and life of various parts of the south, and groups of displaced people appeared in several important towns in the south.
At this time, it is very simple to recruit people, as long as you are willing to give a full meal, you can make the whole family willing to press their handprints on the deed of sale.
These thunder tigers don't bother to pay attention, they have their own local garrisons to monitor the every move of the local warriors, and if they really go too far, they will come to the door to warn them directly.
It's just that this time the situation seems to be a little out of control, or the local nobles have been suppressed too hard, and now once they release the buyers, they are unscrupulous, and they have recruited hundreds or even thousands of displaced people as tenants, and they have crossed the line a little.
And there are a few local clans that are even more excessive, each family has recruited three or four thousand people, most of whom are young men and women, which crosses the bottom line that Lei Hu can tolerate.
The local garrison generals did not dare to slack off, and directly led troops to warn them, telling them to stop, and it was best to divide the recruited homeless people and give them to those honest and honest warriors.
It's just surprising that these few families promised well on the surface, but as soon as the garrison generals left, they still did not have the slightest scruples, as if they had something to rely on.
At this time, Lei Hu received urgent information from the spies on the periphery of the territory that there were two rebel armies that had been scattered and gathered together by the Sui army's counterinsurgency army, and they were secretly moving closer to the territory, and it seemed that the comers were not good.
What a daredevil!
Lei Hu sneered when he heard the news, combined with the abnormal reactions of those few scholars, what else is not clear?
