No. 147 Tang Empire (2)

The 147th Tang Empire (2)

To the south of Ruzhou is Liang Chongyi, who seized the eastern province of Shannan, to the east of Ruzhou is the territory of Li Zhongchen, the envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, and to the north of Ruzhou is Henan Province of Dugi Province, which can be described as a hot spot for the collision between the central government and local feudal towns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If the model of the Heavenly Emperor Sect of the first-order martial arts plane gathers the villagers, it will definitely usher in the vigilance of Liang Chongyi of Shannan Dongdao and Li Zhongchen, the envoy of Huaixi Jiedu, and finally die early in the war.

After some consideration, Wu Wei decided to act steadily.

During Wu Wei's field research, he saved some family wealth by selling logistics military rations produced by virtual earls. Although there is no market for brown bread, those cured meats and salted fish without seasoning can be reprocessed into rations that can be eaten by the common people. Because he didn't want to waste time guarding the stalls to sell, Wu Wei recruited temporary workers to help everywhere he went, and was surprised to find that these temporary workers were also regarded as vassals by the goldfinger plug-in, and could be appointed as the military governor or internal affairs chief of the virtual county. Wu Wei screened all the way and found that the internal affairs value of a temporary worker was as high as 18 points, and he immediately hired him as a long-term worker at any cost. At 18 points, the head of the interior of the interior chooses the task of collecting taxes, and the virtual county gold coin income immediately receives a 45% bonus, and the expected annual income rises from 44 gold coins to 63.8 gold coins.

At the end of the investigation, Wu Wei began to plant the world. Wu Wei was unwilling to waste time looking for true love marriage, so he simply chose surrogacy with a business attitude, bought some girls who sold their heads on the street, and bred a group of descendants who were not married and not loved. In 772, nine surrogate maids gave birth to nine blood, meeting the requirements of the number of 10, as well as the requirements of the family:

Religious Altar Level 3: Produces 4 gold coins per month. (The next level requires 100 population.) )

Family Religious Altar: Produces 2 gold coins per month. (The next level requires village-level units.) )

Summing up all the earnings, the basic income for the year is 80 gold coins, the expected actual income is 116 gold coins, and the total income at the end of 772 is 307.4 gold coins, which is still more than half the 800 gold coins required to open up a new grid.

The future is still bleak, how can the logistical rations of one archer and three archers maintain the survival of Wu Wei, Changgong Yu Guolong, nine surrogate maids and nine children? Fortunately, there is a bug here, and newborn babies, both male and female, meet the requirements for religious conscription, which means that nine babies can activate nine levies, and thus get nine levy rations. In August 773, two more babies were born, giving Wu Wei eleven points of conscription rations. Despite the poor food, despite the malnutrition, considering the productive conditions of the 7th century, taking into account the appetites of the children and the surrogate maids, eleven rations were not only enough to feed them, but also to divide some of the surpluses.

In view of the convenience of the goldfinger plug-in, Wu Wei returned to Lushan County, Ruzhou, first opened a salted meat omnivorous shop, and appointed Yu Guolong, a long-term worker, as the shopkeeper. Next, Wu Wei recruited three young men with military talents in the name of a salted meat omnivorous shop, loaded the archer's template, and made the three of them instantly have the physique and bow skills of the early Carolingian guards.

Hibernation until 774, the Goldfinger plug-in suddenly reminded Wu Wei that the technology limit time was increased to 878 years, unlocking the late Carolingian Dynasty personal guard template and level 2 military organization. There is no qualitative leap between the Late Carolingian and Early Carolingian Trollythian Troop templates, and the increase in weapon armor and rations is very limited. The only thing to be happy about is the level 2 military organization, which has a 300% manpower bonus, making 2 basic manpower to 8 manpower, which can sustain one cavalry archer and six archers. Wu Wei immediately expanded the army and recruited 3 teenagers with military talent at one time, never wasting the benefits of the gold finger plug-in.

Wu Wei did not place all the archers in the salted meat omnivorous shop, but went straight to the less dominant countryside and began to try to form a grassroots organization similar to the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Wu Wei keenly discovered that after the Anshi Rebellion, the order in the countryside was seriously damaged, and the frequent military operations of the imperial court brought countless harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Wealthy landlords occupied countless lands but paid very few taxes; Poor households who do not have land will not be able to receive money if they are obedient; And the homesteaders, who have a few acres of land, have become the main victims. Because it is difficult to collect taxes from the people, and if the tax does not come up, they must subsidize themselves, and the grassroots tax officials are often miserable, and it has become a hard job that everyone fears. Wu Wei was not afraid of challenges, and went against the trend and was elected as the Zuoshi of Lushan County, responsible for the taxation of several miles of a township.

After being promoted to the post of Zuo Shi Xuan, the family religious altar was promoted to three levels in a row, beyond the natural village religious altar and the administrative village religious altar, and directly advanced to the township-level religious altar.

The township-level religious altar produces 16 gold coins per month. (The next level requires the county level.) )

It turns out that the so-called family and village level does not refer to the size of religious members, but to the highest position of religious members. Religious members are in charge of a county, which is the county level; To be in charge of a country is to be at the national level. Each level of jumping, the increase of gold coins by 2 times, if Wu Wei climbed to a section early, the gold coin production speed would have been able to open up new holes. With the bonus of 16 gold coins per month produced by the township-level religious altar, the income of the year was as high as 359.6 gold coins, resulting in an instant increase in cumulative income of 782 at the end of 774.

In January 775, Wu Wei had saved up enough 800 gold coins, and considering the super high gold coin efficiency of the characteristic buildings, Wu Wei decisively opened a castle that could provide more soldiers.

2nd Castle: Produces 4/12 of gold per month. Number of soldiers that can be recruited: 3 ships, 225 defenders, 60 light infantry, 150 heavy infantry, 15 light cavalry.

Appoint a 20-point soldier as the military governor of a virtual county, and make him responsible for recruiting troops, and the total number of recruits will be increased by 50%, i.e. the number of light infantry, heavy infantry, light cavalry, etc. will be increased to 337. Wu Wei did not rely too much on Goldfinger to expand the scale of conscription, and mainly used the logistics benefits of conscription to form a militia group headed by several princes' standing soldiers, and quietly pulled up a team.

Because of his lack of strength and inability to give full play to his advanced scientific and technological advantages, Wu Wei did not recklessly provoke the feudal order or attack the big landlord class. Instead, Wu Wei cooperated with the local landlord class to transfer taxes to yeoman farmers in accordance with the customs of the times, or forced yeoman farmers to go bankrupt and annex their fields, or forced yeoman villagers to join agricultural cooperatives under his leadership.

The Agricultural Cooperative Organization is another form of control over agriculture, that is, Wu Wei decided to plant wheat in the village this year, and the village must plant wheat, otherwise he will be fined and heavily taxed; Of course, the agricultural cooperative organization will not go blindly, in the early stage, there is an agricultural management committee to study local agriculture, and in the later stage, there is an agricultural cooperative organization to purchase and collect the unified purchase and collect the price, and pay the tax on behalf of the agricultural cooperative organization, and join the agricultural cooperative organization to have the most basic survival guarantee. The peasants of the feudal era were free and loose, especially tired of the mandatory regulations of the agricultural cooperatives, and naturally did not want to accept harsh conditions. At this time, Wu Wei's militia appeared, and if necessary, hundreds of conscripts immediately rushed to the rebellious villages, and the absolute threat of force forced them to accept policies such as agricultural production planning, unified purchase and collection, and tax payment.

In areas where agricultural cooperation cannot be implemented, the tax transfer method will push homesteaders to bankruptcy, and then take their families and poor households without land as tenant farmers, and the preferential policy of renting 30% will win their hearts. In the seventh century, the vast majority of the land annexation policies of the big landlords were "left behind", and the number of tenant farmers left behind was far less than the density of yeoman farmers, which in turn aggravated the crisis of displaced people. Wu Wei's land annexation was a completely different nature of annexation, and the ultimate goal of forcing the yeoman peasants to go bankrupt was to bind them to their chariots. With both land and people, plus a 30% rent lower than the times, Wu Wei's land annexation is purely a loss-making business, which is something that other landlords with no ambition will never do.

All the land acquired by the yeoman farmers is transferred to the agricultural cooperatives, and the national farm is operated as a whole. Although the constraints on productivity resulted in the lack of yield advantages for the state farms, their policy of tying up land tenants provided Wu Wei with a large number of high-quality soldiers. If you plant Wu Wei's land, you have to work for Wu Wei, and when you need it, you must become a minion of the militia to help Wu Wei grab more benefits.

Wu Wei's left hand suppressed the economy with national taxes, and his right hand used the militia to defend the armed military. In this era of martial arts, with military strength, Wu Wei's pace became more ferocious, and after the self-cultivated farmers, he included small landlords and middle landlords as targets, and squeezed their economic wealth by way of tax transfer, and finally forced them into bankruptcy. At the same time as the economy oppressed the people, Wu Wei led the militia to negotiate with the county government of Lushan County on the proportion of taxes, and became a local tyrant in the real sense.

If the county government wants to receive taxes, it must rely on Wu Wei; If you offend Wu Wei, not to mention that Wu Wei's territory can't collect taxes, the taxes in other townships will also be lost by bandits. In 775, Wei Bojiedu made Tian Chengsi occupy the four prefectures of Xiangwei by force, and the four towns of Hebei officially evolved into the three towns of Heshuo. The central government of Li Tang sent troops to conscript, but everything did not go well, and finally acquiesced in the annexation of Tian Chenghe, the former general of An Lushan, in the form of pardon. In 776, Li Lingyao's rebellion stirred the nerves of the Henan feudal towns in Hebei, and the contemporary era was by no means a good time for local bandits. Moreover, it is better to sit in an official than to sit in an official, and the county commander found that Wu Wei was too strong to challenge, so he simply chose to compromise without the psychology of fighting to the death, admitting Wu Wei's control over the local grassroots.

Wu Wei's encroachment became even more unscrupulous, and soon the countryside completely controlled Pinglu County by encircling the city.

Considering that the condition for passing the first test of Chaotianque is that the descendants of the blood will monopolize all the kingdom-level administrative units on the earth, and the time must be very, very long, and it will be necessary to wait for his descendants to grow up, Wu Wei then farmed and expanded his power in the safest and most conservative way.

And so, before you know it, it is 783 A.D.
