32. Tuntian system
After returning to Handan City, Li Yifei immediately went to see King Zhao.
After meeting King Zhao, Li Yifei said his thoughts.
King Zhao really obeyed Li Yifei's words, and when he heard that this would make him have more food and stronger national strength, he agreed almost without thinking about it.
At the court the next day, the ministers listened to it, and they all felt that it made sense, anyway, after diplomatic tactics now, there will not be many opportunities to fight with various countries, at least for three years, there will be no war, and the frontier must be guarded against the nomads, and there will be wars from time to time.
In this way, it is a good way to send these soldiers to Tuntian.
Soon, the imperial court issued a decree ordering the defenders in various places to begin to implement the tuntian system to help clear farmland and expand agricultural production.
The soldiers are generally young and middle-aged, and their physical strength is naturally better, and the planting of crops is also more effective, so the spring plowing and production in various places are now better.
At the same time, it is also necessary to conduct military training so that they can serve as soldiers during war and as farmers after war.
When you are a soldier and eat the emperor's food, you still have to focus on the military, but don't really become a professional farmer, that's not good.
Soon, vigorous agricultural production began to be carried out in various parts of the Zhao Kingdom, and a lot of fertile land and land were opened up in various places, and crops were planted.
However, in order to prepare for the unforeseen, the cavalry of Zhao also began to patrol around the place, these cavalry are not ordinary, now they are equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, and the war horses are also first-class good horses.
The role of these cavalry is to monitor the enemy's movements at all times, and once the enemy army is attacking, then they will immediately notify the soldiers of Tuntian and quickly form an army.
Moreover, their own combat effectiveness is also very strong, and a small group of enemies can be killed directly.
In the direction of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han, there were 2,000 cavalry, leading the general Xiang Shaolong.
There were 1,500 cavalry on the side of Qi and Yan, and the leading general was the veteran Pang Nuan.
There is also General Li Mu in the north, who has 5,000 elites under his command, all equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, and their combat effectiveness is amazing.
In other places, there is no way, and now it is enough to arm so many cavalry, and other places are still dominated by urban defense.
In April, Yan sent troops to attack Zhongshan County.
As a result, Pang Nuan sent troops and led his cavalry to defeat him, killed his main general Shan Fu, and captured more than 3,000 Yan soldiers.
This battle made the cavalry of Zhao State strengthen their confidence, and also dealt a severe blow to Yan Guo's stupidity, and they did not dare to act rashly from then on.
In June, Xiang Shaolong led his elite special cavalry to attack the Gray Hu Department that had been circulating on the Wei-Han border for a long time, killing the Gray Hu, and the rest of the horse thieves were also killed and wounded, and only a few of the hundreds of people were taken prisoner and escorted to the mine for labor reform!
In mid-July, Li Mu couldn't hold back, led his 3,000 elite cavalry to suddenly launch a blitzkrieg against the Huns, a battle to kill the Huns' guts, the attack distance broke through 10,000 kilometers, the Huns were forced to move their own Khan, retreat to the desert!
More importantly, more than 60,000 Huns were captured this time, and many of them were young and middle-aged.
These people were immediately disrupted and distributed to various parts of the Zhao State to enrich the population of the Zhao State!
There are also countless cattle, sheep and horses, which greatly enrich the treasury.
Cattle and sheep are directly distributed to the people for breeding, on the one hand, it can effectively use labor, and on the other hand, it is also to improve the lives of the people.
Cattle can't be killed, but sheep can.
As for those Xiongnu horses, they were naturally purchased by Wujiabao, and there was more money in the treasury and more horses in Wujiabao.
These three wars also allowed the Zhao people to regain their confidence and no longer live in fear all day long.
The ministers of the Chinese military forces of the DPRK also became more energetic, and after Zhao Mu's death, his comrades were quickly purged, including Lekai, which was also purged.
Now there are mostly young cadres in the DPRK and China, and after many meritorious deeds, including Zhao Pan, they have entered the core of power and began to make suggestions for the state apparatus of Zhao State.
Li Yifei's life was relatively easy, and various layouts were successfully implemented, which was also an excellent consolidation of his position.
King Zhao continued to get good news, and naturally trusted Li Yifei more.
This is the trust between people, every measure has been verified, the tuntian system is good, the cavalry is also good, the special forces are also good, King Zhao doesn't trust Li Yifei, who else does he trust?
This little day, it is very comfortable.
It's easy to go to work every day and spend time with your family after work.
Now the wives and concubines have very big bellies, and they will soon give birth.
Even Zhu Ji is pregnant, and this woman's genes are also very strong.
And after having a new child, Zhu Ji also has more smiles on her face, she no longer misses Yingzheng, and Li Yifei's restrictions on her have gradually been lifted, but Zhu Ji still likes to stay in the lake and build small buildings, and occasionally come out to breathe.
During this time, Li Yifei's swordsmanship also continued to improve.
In order to improve his physical fitness, Li Yifei began to use various methods, such as medicinal baths.
Use the best Chinese herbs to steam and soak the body.
This method is really effective, but this plane does not have those magical internal strength methods, nor does it have a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt or the like, so it is only limited to improving physical fitness.
But this improvement also made Li Yifei faster in the speed of the sword, and the body's reaction ability was also faster.
In August, rice harvest begins in various places.
After the implementation of tuntian this year, the yield of rice has naturally increased a lot. Originally, rice was not the main crop in this era, but corn was.
But Li Yifei still thinks that rice is the king, so he suggested that rice seeds should be obtained everywhere, such as wild rice, there are many varieties, what black rice, purple rice, red rice, etc., the ecological environment is better now, and these rice seeds can be collected.
Where there are no rice seeds, you can buy them from other vassal states at a high price.
Many vassal states are also open-minded about money, where will they think so much? As soon as they saw that Zhao Guoren came to buy rice seeds, the bid was high, and they were all very positive.
As a result, this year's rice planting area has exceeded 150,000 mu.
Even if the current rice yield is not high, this year's total rice output will exceed 50 million kilograms, and now the total population of Zhao is about 2 million, and everyone has 25 kilograms, which is definitely a leap forward compared to before.
The production of other grains has also increased, such as corn, which is not bad, and every household should be able to eat corn this year, and it can continue until the beginning of spring next year.
At the same time, the government coffers in various places are full, and this year's taxes have also been reduced a lot compared with the past.
This year, according to Li Yifei's suggestion, a tax policy of 30 taxes and 1 was adopted, which made the people everywhere very supportive and very grateful to the imperial court.
Despite this, because of the increase in production, the local government treasury still has a lot more grain than in the past, and this year's imperial court will be much better!
It's a pity that you can't get potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn now, otherwise, Zhao Guo can easily become a rich man, or in less than 5 years, he will directly challenge all countries and dominate the world.
After the grain purchase, wheat was planted in various places, and the yield of winter wheat was also not low, and the current vassal states planted very little winter wheat, which was obviously a huge mistake.
Don't look at the heavy snow, this wheat can still grow.
The rational use of land and planting in all seasons can make food more abundant.
Of course, this year, Zhao State was able to recuperate quietly, which is also closely related to the biggest-stirring stick in the Warring States Period - the domestic instability of Qin State.
