Chapter 17: The Iron Law of Gaozu

The truth is really beautiful, it is like a pool of spring water blowing a little ripples, and the feeling is nuanced. It is counted as a lifetime, and from then on, the cloud moves with the knife, and the past dust is written on a blank sheet of paper with no regrets. As long as you choose to go and return together, success or failure doesn't matter, even if you are in the wind and rain, there is no sadness and sorrow, no matter what the outcome is, I dare to face it immediately, even if I turn a thousand times and cross the north and south, I have no regrets.

Although it is spring, the spring in Heishuibei is covered by heavy snow, and there is no trace of spring, facing the goose feather spring snow, listening to bursts of powerful shouts, touching the handle of the knife in the sheath, Zuo Qian's heart at this moment is incomparably empty and spiritual, as if integrated into this heaven and earth, as if the whole world is under his feet, and it seems that he is the whole world.

The Yanling knife in the sheath kept shaking, Zuo Qian could feel that it was a feeling of excitement, at this moment Zuo Qian had a feeling, the knife hanging on his waist seemed to be like his arm, although he just touched the handle of the knife like this, but Zuo Qian had this very strange feeling.

"Buzz"

"Huh"

Zuo Qianyi took the knife out of the sheath and waved out a three-zhang knife light visible to the naked eye, and a wild hunting and domineering momentum came from Zuo Qian and his knife light, when the knife light was split, there was no sound or any earth-shattering light and shadow, and a three-zhang long, palm-wide, but deep invisible crack tore open the snowdrift on the surface, revealing the terrifying gap.

Zuo Qian, who closed his eyes and realized it, slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp look like a knife flashed away, and instantly returned to his usual appearance.

"This is my way, my sword intent."

"Someone else's is just someone else's, even if you practice someone else's sword intent, but it's not suitable for yourself, no matter how good it is, it's useless."

After realizing his sword intent, Zuo Qian, in addition to being sharper in attacking in the future, his own acupoint meridians have also been opened up in several places, although the amount of true qi has not yet come up, but as long as he cultivates for a long time, he will naturally make up for the lack of true qi.

・・・・・

The annoying wind and rain stopped, and the flowers on the branches fell, and only the dust on the flowers still exuded a faint fragrance. Spring to summer, flowers bloom, eternal, only sad people, sad things, sad knots, every time I think of these, has not yet opened the beautiful Jiao Niang tears like rain.

The girl looking at the window looked at the soldiers who went out on the expedition, stretched out her strength to look at her sweetheart, but she couldn't see where he was, and I don't know whose son's son whimpered with parting tears alone, but for the sake of the home behind her and the pretty woman who was waiting for her, she had to endure the pain of parting.

I don't know whose son's knife is in the sheath, and I don't know whose girl is pretty in front of the window.

After the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Great Yan Kingdom were outside the Aoki Pass, the Great Fengguo began to gather soldiers and horses throughout the country, in addition to the defenders in various border places, almost all the troops of the whole country were thrown into the Aoki Pass, and also posted recruitment notices everywhere.

This time, I don't blame Da Feng for making such a big move, just because the leading general of Da Yan this time is Zuo Wuji, the god of war known as Da Yan, and along with Zuo Wuji, there is also Zhu Xiao, the first swordsman of Da Yan Kingdom.

Although Zuo Wuji is known as the god of war, it is not how strong his personal force is, but this person is very good at using soldiers, and in several major empires, there is almost no opponent, except for the white-clothed army god Ghost Daoshan who died of illness ten years ago, it is difficult to find a second person in this world who can fight against him.

Therefore, the attention of this Dafeng is a stupid way to use the tactics of the sea of people, and I don't know which method is the attention of the person who has the feces in his head, if he can win Zuo Wuji by relying on the battle of the sea of people, then he Zuo Wuji is not a god of war but a straw bag, maybe the straw bag is stronger than him.

At the beginning of the war, it is the command and deployment of the commander-in-chief, but if the goal cannot be achieved in the short term, the national strength will be fought later, and the so-called national strength is that in addition to money and food, there are many things such as the replenishment of soldiers and various materials. In fact, war is to put it bluntly, and what is fought is the comprehensive strength behind each country. Of course, if the difference in force between the two countries is too great, then there is no drama.

Naturally, this grain and grass began to go to Aoki Pass under the transportation of people from all over the country, and the armies around the country also began to go there, in addition to these, it is the training of recruits from all over the country.

In this situation of preparing for war in the whole country, those officials in various places are also much more honest, of course, there are also those who do not believe in evil and think that there are people in the court, such as the nephew of the imperial master, who embezzled a total of 400,000 taels of silver in military salaries and grain and grass, and was wiped out by the sticky pole of the emperor's old man before the silver was hot. After destroying several people related to the current government officials at the sticky pole, those officials who had no background in the first place naturally wilted.

Of course, there is no lack of the emperor's purpose of using these people to boost the morale of the army and get rid of those people's minions, and there must be innocence among them, but who is an official has no shit on his ass? If you really want to investigate, not to mention that the officials of Dafeng have not been investigated, even those who are officials in the whole world will have to be killed.

Although it is very chaotic outside, Heishuibei is a rare peach orchard in Dafeng now, and some businessmen began to pour into Heishuibei in large numbers after seeing business opportunities, and those who avoided the war also began to pour into Heishuibei.

Due to the increase in population, naturally all kinds of social contradictions have come out, in addition to those who are in the green forest in the mountains, this time Zuo Qian is offered as the god of wealth, and there are even people who erect a monument to Zuo Qian's immortality.

After Sima Kong saw these large numbers of outsiders flowing into Heishuibei, he also began to be anxious in his heart, if these people were really involved in Heishuibei, it would be better to say, the key is that these people are here to take refuge, and when the war passes, they will naturally go back.

Later, after Sima Kong and Zuo Qian discussed, they formulated several policies.

First, first from the hands of those merchants to buy a large number of all kinds of materials, especially grain, salt, iron, horses, cotton and all kinds of scarce substances, in addition to grain, salt, iron, horses, has always been the strict control of the past dynasties of the materials, but the profits are indeed too high, naturally there are still people willing to risk the risk of killing the head to do.

Someone has said that if there are 30 percent of the benefits, there will be people who will find a way to do it, if there are 50 percent of the benefits, there will be people who are willing to work hard, if the interests are more than half of them, then there will be people desperate to do it, people's ** and greed are always the most terrible weapons. The so-called loyalty and betrayal depends on whether the benefits you give are enough for him to betray and loyalty.

2. Recruit those poor long-term laborers and tenant farmers to reclaim wasteland, and only 30% of the reclaimed wasteland needs to be handed over to the city lord's mansion every year, and the city lord's mansion also produces seeds and farming implements every year. After this article came out, those poor families who had no land in the past can now see hope, as long as they have land, they have hope, and the peasants just want to stutter, as long as they fill their stomachs, for them, everywhere is the same. When the land is distributed to the households, special personnel will be arranged to manage the household registration and land properties of these people, which can be regarded as controlling the roots of these people.

Of course, there will be those who fish in troubled waters, and Sima Kong has also formulated a corresponding policy, if he owns land in Heishuibei, if he wants to leave within ten years, then all his property and land will be confiscated, and all the men in the family will be beaten with fifty sticks when he leaves, whether they are old or young, and if they are not dead, they will be let go. At that time, I'm afraid that no one will want to leave.

3. Recruit soldiers, set up militia regiments, reclaim official land and protect local law and order, and the most important thing is to protect bandits from going down the mountain to borrow food, and serve as a reserve in wartime. This one is mainly for those homeless and bachelors. The second is that if the bandits go down the mountain to borrow food, the militia group can exchange the bandit's head for military merit and a reward for silver, but if anyone dares to kill the local peasants and passing merchants, once they are found out, they will be sentenced to death.

After Sima Kong issued these three decrees, he received great repercussions in Heishuibei, which not only solved the urgent need of the present, but also solved the problem of the source of grain in the future, and at the same time, on the original basis, it will also show a substantial increase.

At the same time, Zuo Qian also issued two iron orders like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, as long as it was in Heishui North, even Zuo Qian had to implement it.

Murder pays for life!!

Debt repayment!!

Of course, that's what you say, but since ancient times, you can't punish doctors. Whether this is illegal or not depends on people, especially in this place where force is respected.

After arranging this series of internal affairs in a few months, the matter of suppressing bandits was also put on the agenda.

Sima Kong is naturally the busiest, from spring to autumn, the results can naturally be seen, a large number of grain into the warehouse, Zuo Qian is eyebrows and smiles.

When Sima Kong was busy with internal affairs, Zuo Qian was not idle, except for the internal skills and sword skills that must be practiced every day, the rest of the time was spent on military training, of course, he would also take the time to show his face in the land of Heishuibei, otherwise the entire Heishuibei would think that Sima Kong was Cangshunbo instead of him Zuo Qian.

And Sima Kong is also very knowledgeable, he will do everything one by one, how the superior says, how to say what the superior says, this is also Sima Kong's cleverness, not greedy for merit.

As soon as we did this, the people below naturally knew that Cangshunbo, who loved the people so much, was much better than other places, at least we had enough to eat and not starve. For a time, Zuo Qian's reputation was unparalleled in Heishui North for a while.
