After raiding the mansions of several officials and generals in Linqingzhou City, several temples and the mansions of the great families, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang finally saw the greed of these gentlemen, doctors and religious figures.

In particular, those temples have the advantage of not having to pay taxes, and countless ordinary people have taken the initiative to hang their acres of land under the name of the temple.

In this way, although the fields were actually owned by the temple, the people themselves were still working as servants in their own fields, and the harvest was not taxed, but was a little more profitable.

But when a disaster or the greed of the monks of the temple are encountered, these ignorant people will immediately fall into the fate of ruining their families, selling their children and daughters, and becoming slaves of their own families and unable to pay off their debts.

If there is a slightly more delicate girl in the family of ordinary people, it is even more worrying about countless jackals in the Quartet, and even the monks and masters in the temple will move the hearts of mortals......

As a result, countless tragedies of ancient classics have occurred again and again, and human tragedies have been staged over and over again......

Early the next morning.

Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang, who had confidence, directly sent two battalions of troops to attack Qiu County and Guantao County in Linqing respectively.

Since this time it was directly led by the template officers, Xie Qiang also specially added more than a dozen logistics template soldiers to the two barracks on the expedition.

After the merger of logistics space, they directly transported a large number of combat materials and heavy weapons and equipment such as artillery and tanks.

Such strength is enough to crush those two counties several times.

So, Xie Qiang assigned the task, and after ordering the template command officer to report the situation to Ran Lingyang and himself at any time, he went directly back to the state capital to deal with other affairs.

In particular, the security notice and the restoration of Linqing City to normal operation are the top priorities.

At this time, the merchants of Linqing, who had been hiding and fearing for a night, also opened the door ajarly, and secretly showed one eye to look at the situation outside.

On the hard stone streets, there were already soldiers with rifles and olive green uniforms patrolling back and forth. Seeing the appearance of these people sneakily opening the door one by one, these soldiers continued to walk around and patrol with unchanged expressions.

The people were relieved to see that these soldiers and men who had not yet dissipated their murderous aura did not pay attention to themselves, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and bravely went out to fetch water, buy rice and grain, and some shops gradually removed their door panels, erected their windows, and started business with trepidation.

There were more and more people on the streets, and the unpleasant smell of gunpowder and blood in the air began to slowly dissipate with the flow of people.

The red and blackened blood stains on the stone slabs on the ground began to dry slowly under the sunlight, leaving only a little scar, and then under the friction of a pair of cloth shoes and straw sandals, it became lighter and lighter until it disappeared.

Occasionally, a few bold bear children curiously tapped the black and red scars on the ground with their fingers, and were immediately hung up by the frightened adults, took out long yellow wattle sticks and whipped them fiercely, and they were beaten one by one so that they couldn't struggle, and they cried.

But the people next to them immediately lowered their heads and dodged one after another, leaving a large open space around here.

A group of soldiers patrolling here came over and stopped to look, and the mother who was beating her child next to her immediately burst into tears, her face was ashen, and she looked at the group of soldiers with desperate and pleading eyes, waiting for the judgment they spoke.

The soldiers asked about the consequences, waved their hands to disperse the merchants who had slowly and silently gathered, and then said "It's okay" to the poor middle-aged woman, and continued to patrol.

The middle-aged woman suddenly seemed to have a new life, her eyes radiated a bright brilliance, and she hurriedly relieved the child who was humming in pain, carried it into the house, hid in the inner room and covered the quilt before holding the child's head tightly and crying in a low voice.

The child, who didn't understand what was going on, was in pain, and he was also sad and painful with his mother.

The scattered people, merchants, and vendors were amazed at the luck of this middle-aged woman, and they exchanged heads and talked about it one by one.

"If you run into the Green Battalion or the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, hehe, I'm afraid that my life will be lost long ago, and the whole family will fall to the ground."

"It is really fatal to dare to collide with the bloodstains left by these murderous soldiers."

"These killing gods who don't know where they came from, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable!"

When an old man next to him heard this, he immediately smiled, "That's what happened to you when you didn't provoke them and didn't see those old men's mansions?" The son of a distant neighbor of mine delivered them food, and today I was told that I don't need to deliver it in the future. He glanced secretly outside the courtyard gate, and there was a river of blood inside, and there were people everywhere! ”

"Ah...... Then you dare to say that!? ”

The talking peddler was immediately frightened, and he was a little frightened like a cat with its tail stepped on, and his hairs stood on end.

Both of them immediately stopped talking, then covered their faces with the long sleeves of their robes, lowered their heads and drilled into the crowd, and the two immediately separated.

The two men who lowered their heads and covered their faces walked faster and farther away, and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

After a while, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang issued an order to gather the people and merchants of the city.

The soldiers used the huge loudspeakers installed on the tall buildings in the city to shout to the whole city of Linqing that these people should immediately gather in the streets and other wide places to wait for the instructions of the chief.

After waiting for two or three hours, these worried and frightened people gathered on the street, and outside the door, the businessmen on the high-rise buildings heard Xie Qiang's voice that resounded throughout the city.

"Hello everyone, people of Linqing City! We are the People's Liberation Army, the army that has come to liberate you from all oppression, all enslavement, and all suffering! “

"The People's Liberation Army is not a team of one or two people, it is everyone's team and the people's team!"

"We are here to protect everyone, don't worry in your heart, don't be afraid!"

………………

After a series of reassuring words, Xie Qiang introduced the principles and policies of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of "not taking a stitch from the people" and "the people being the masters of the country", and announced in public that the common people would be exempted from all kinds of taxes such as servitude, poll tax, guilt silver, and incorruptible silver, and the tax rates of merchants were re-standardized, stipulating that in addition to these prescribed taxes, no one of them would have to continue to pay taxes and serve all kinds of forced labor.

Moreover, the various heavens and earths in Linqing will be re-measured, and then registered and distributed to everyone.

The people of Linqing City heard it with straight eyes, hesitated in their hearts, and couldn't believe it.

All the taxes that have been pressed on them for countless years are gone? Can you still divide the land and divide the land?

There are also conscriptions, and all kinds of taxes, all the people dare not think or believe it.

In particular, the poll tax, which is collected in any dynasty and generation, is very heavy, and it is mixed with countless "black rules" at the bottom, and it is already a huge amount when the officials come to collect it.

This also greatly limited the population growth and the burden on the common people in ancient times.

Even in the peasant uprisings of the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, the poll tax accounted for a large part of the reason.

When these people shook their heads and returned to their homes in a daze, and there were many discussions, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang also received a report from the template soldiers that Qiu County and Guantao County had been taken, and the Qing Dynasty soldiers inside had been either absorbed or killed, and the defense had been rearranged.

Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang issued several orders to these template soldiers one after another, asking them to shave their braids, issue orders to exempt them from military service and reduce all kinds of taxes, and do a good job in the treatment of poor people, household registration, and land division.

Then, Xie Qiang directly ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to be responsible for the shaving of braids and changing clothes for the merchants and people in the city.

Then, another battalion was ordered to register the population and reconstruct the register.

At the same time, Xie Qiang and Ran Lingyang sent two battalions of soldiers to measure the land in the city and began land distribution.

At the same time, hot air balloons, hanging small baskets full of leaflets and a few small foods, kept taking off from Linqing City and drifting away in the wind towards all parts of Shandong.

The leaflets were printed with a simple thumbnashed map of Shandong, followed by the location of the city of Lincheongju, and were filled with signs of steamed bread, rice, and other foods, as well as words for relief for the victims of the disaster.

These hot air balloons flew farther and farther, and some landed deep in the mountains and dense forests, where the food was eaten by all kinds of insects and animals, and the leaflets were smashed.

Some drifted to uninhabited land, and no one picked them up until they rotted and rotted.

More of them fell into the hands of the disaster victims and refugees from all over the country, and then guided these victims to form a long line and continue to walk towards Linqing City.
