The next morning, Gao Cheng woke up from his sleep and moved away from the plump and delicate body that was wrapped around him.

The biren in the same bed is no longer young, the once beautiful facial features and now after feeding a son and a daughter, the plump figure is combined, and then adds the mature charm given by the years, but the thirty-eight-year-old Yuan Mingyue has a different charm.

Resisting the urge to continue playing, Gao Cheng put on his clothes and ran around the yard for more than ten laps, sweating, before washing and eating under the service of the maidservant.

After breakfast, accompanied by the cronies and guards, he went to Zhongshu Province to be on duty.

When he arrived at the provincial government, he sent someone to summon Cui Jishu, the secretary of the household department, and carefully inquired with him about the distribution of official services, military salaries, and taxes in Guanzhong.

Since the 11th year of Taichang (542), the Guanlong and Xianbei relocated households enjoyed three to five years of tax reduction, relying on the salt and profit finances to survive, and Gao Cheng has never set foot in the Gyeonggi area for five years.

After three years of tax reduction, the Guanzhong area began to pay taxes in full last year, that is, in the 14th year of Taichang.

Gao Cheng did not engage in any spring and autumn taxes, but concentrated the annual tax collection after the autumn, that is, the autumn tax.

Of course, if there is a local disaster, it will also be reduced as appropriate, at least to ensure that the people have enough rations, the ancients did not pay attention to any human rights awareness, for the people at the bottom, as long as you can let him live, he will not rebel, which is why Gao Cheng dared to make such a large-scale immigration incident in four months.

After all, there was his father Gao Huan who moved 400,000 households in three days as an example, and at that time it was still in the critical moment when the Son of Heaven fled, and the Gao family's foundation in Henan was unstable.

As for the hardships experienced by the relocated families on the way, Gao Cheng can detect it, but compared to the big plan to revitalize Guanlong, he can also ruthlessly ignore it.

In the context of the absence of human rights, it is already a mercy of a ruler to postpone the relocation time after the autumn, so that they have enough time to complete the autumn harvest, obtain food rations, and ask the local government to prepare winter clothes for the people with few clothes, not to mention that he has also formulated a tax exemption plan for these people for the next three to five years, and prepared houses in the resettlement areas in advance.

After the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's 110,000 army only escaped 800 horsemen, and all those who surrendered were killed by Cao Cao, and more than 80,000 people were killed before and after.

But after careful consideration, I know that Cao Cao faced the same dilemma as Yuwentai after the Battle of Shayuan, and he couldn't afford to raise these pawns, the difference was that Yuwentai didn't dare to kill the villagers, so he put most of the pawns of the Eastern Wei Dynasty back to Kanto.

And Cao Cao will not release Yuan Shao's pawn back to Hebei, after all, he Cao Mengde is a native of Peiguo County (Bozhou, Anhui), so don't recognize his fellow countrymen.

In troubled times, civilians can be starved to death, and even used for military food, but soldiers, even if they are soldiers, cannot starve, let them starve, once mutiny, it will be a big trouble.

With the tax revenue of Guanzhong, the treasury has also become more abundant, and this year is also the last year of the five-year tax reduction for the Longyou and Xianbei migrants, and the tax will be delivered to the treasury after the autumn of next year.

The southern expedition was after the spring ploughing of the following year.

Now it is not the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is no atmosphere of not giving rewards before the war, and the soldiers will not work hard, even if the Gao family treats the six towns Xianbei well, they will not be arrogant like that.

But the reward before the war can indeed boost morale, so Gao Cheng set the time of the usurpation before the southern expedition, and the usurper must be rewarded to the soldiers, and it is really a good time to take advantage of the soldiers' high spirits to go south.

It is also appropriate to give some reward money after usurping the country, but the new monarch in the Northern Song Dynasty also had to be rewarded for succeeding to the throne, which was somewhat outrageous.

As for whether Gao Cheng's function usurped the country, there is no need to worry, the Great Wei Qi King in the Later Three Kingdoms period has made contributions to the Great Wei, and only Sun 100,000, the Great Wei King of the Great Wei in the former Three Kingdoms period, can only be seen from afar, although Sun 100,000 made meritorious contributions, Cao Wei had not yet established the country, but his credit could not be erased.

Take a look at the situation when Guan Yu shook China, Cao Ren and Man Chong were trapped in Fancheng to see the sea, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu, Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang surrendered one after another, and the heroes of the surrounding counties of Xudu were affected by Guan Yu's seal and scarf, and they rose up one after another, Cao Cao's military arrangements in Jingzhou almost completely collapsed, and Xu Huang was sent to Jingzhou to support, but he could only take new soldiers on the road, which shows that Cao Cao was already facing a stretched situation in the mobilization of military forces at that time, and at the same time, Yecheng Wei was scheming against the outbreak of eucalyptus, and many Jingzhou scholars who moved north participated in it, which also indicated that everyone was no longer optimistic about Cao.

At this critical moment related to the survival of the Cao family's foundation, he, the future King of Wu of Great Wei, stood up, stabbed his allies in the back, and made great achievements, phew!

The Great Wei Wu King in the Three Kingdoms period made such a great feat, and it was far less than the contribution of the Great Wei Qi King in the Later Three Kingdoms period to the Great Wei Sheji, so the King of Qi naturally had the qualifications to usurp the throne.

As for the country before it is obtained, there is no need to worry about whether there will be chaos in the rear if it goes south.

After all these years of manipulation by inappropriate people, Yuan Shanjian's reputation among the people has long been stinky, and King Xiaogao is a living Bodhisattva, the kind of family who gives the tablet of immortality.

Gao Huan, Gao Cheng, father and son have been in power for so many years, regardless of the local or central government, they are all controlled by their henchmen and henchmen, and the lower foundation and superstructure are grasped with both hands, and there is no chaos.

It has been 15 years since the chaos of the Kanto region, especially in Hebei, since the Battle of Hanling in early 532, there have been no natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the population born in the first year of Taichang has also reached the age of dividing the fields.

Wang Gongyun is one of them, he participated in the first imperial examination, stopped at the Xiangzhou government examination, after three years of hard study, finally passed the second imperial examination of the Sizhou government examination, but stopped in the Beijing examination.

After the beginning of spring this year, he turned 15, and he also applied to the Xin'an County Government for the allocation of acres of land, Wang Gongyun himself will definitely not farm, after the government examination will have the status of a person, can be a official, but he still wants to get the qualification of Jinshi, his father Wang Ajing also supported him, so he studied hard in Luoyang's Sizhou Mansion School.

As for the 80 acres of open fields and 20 acres of mulberry fields allocated to Wang Gongyun by the Xin'an County Ya, all of them were subleased to others for cultivation, and the law stipulated that the divided fields could not be bought and sold, but Gao Cheng allowed the sublease of the allocated acres, but the contract must be concluded once a year.

The 15th year of Gao's rule in the Kanto region is now in its 15th year, and it is expected that the next two years will be the peak of the first wave of baby boom population growth, which will be enough to make up for the loss of labor in the Kanto region due to the relocation, after all, the Kanto Communists have only lost 1.3 million Dingkou and 1.3 million women and children due to two waves of migration.

In ancient times, sufficient acres of land were allocated to a sufficient population, and when this condition was met, it only took one spring ploughing and one autumn harvest to restore productivity.

Many dynasties had to go through more than ten years of recuperation at the beginning of the founding of the country before they could resume production, but in fact, the war caused a large decrease in population, and it was necessary to wait for the baby boomers to become adults and engage in agricultural production.

You can't let an eight- or nine-year-old half-grown child take responsibility for production independently.

It may seem like a short time for the Kanto region to restore its pre-Western production capacity in the next year or two, but behind it is actually that the Kanto region, especially Henan and Hebei, has not suffered large-scale riots for more than ten years.

Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu carefully checked all kinds of accounts, and ordered someone to summon the majority of the water masters, Di Gan, to inquire about the training of the water masters.

With the status of Di Gan, he naturally knew that Gao Cheng expected the time of the southern expedition, he not only strictly grasped the training of sailors, but also humbly asked the generals who were proficient in water warfare such as Governor Fu Meng and Guo Yuanjian with an open mind.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Taichang (546), when the king of the northern realm was preparing for the southern expedition two years later, Chen Baxian was also fighting for his future in the distant Lingnan.

In 544 AD, Chen Baxian defeated the rebels besieging the city of Guangzhou in one fell swoop, and was appreciated by Xiao Yan.

In the winter of the same year, the benefactor Xiao Ying died of illness in Guangzhou, and Chen Baxian wanted to send Xiao Ying's coffin back to Jiankang, but he received Xiao Yan's appointment halfway through, appointing him as the Sima of Jiaozhou and leading Wuping (Yong'an, Vietnam) to be too guarded.

At this time, Jiao and De Erzhou were both divided by the rebel general Li Ben, and he founded a country in the northern region of Vietnam, with the name Wanchun.

Chen Baxian immediately returned to Guangzhou, gathered soldiers and horses, prepared military supplies, and sent troops to quell the rebellion in December with Yang Qian, the assassin of Jiaozhou, and Xiao Bo, the assassin of Dingzhou (Guiping, Guangxi).

Halfway through, Dingzhou Thorn Shi Xiao Bo and others were afraid, Chen Baxian said how could he quell the rebellion with this group of insects, so he led the army alone to beat the drum forward, and the departments had no choice but to follow.

After all, Lu Zixiong, the former Xinzhou (Xinxing, Guangdong) assassin Shi Lu Zixiong, and Gaozhou (Yangxi, Guangdong) assassin Sun Jian were both slandered by Xiao Zhijin and were given to death.

In June 545 AD, the counterinsurgency army arrived in Jiaozhou, and the rebel general Li Ben led tens of thousands of troops to set up a city gate at the mouth of the Suli River to defend against the enemy.

Li Ben fled to Dianche Lake, when the lake rose sharply, the Liang army did not dare to enter the army, and Chen Baxian led the army to take advantage of the rising water to attack, completely defeated Li Ben's army, Li Ben took refuge in the Qu Fang tribe, was killed by the Qu Fang people, and passed on the first Jiankang.

Jiao and De were recovered, but Li Ben's brother Li Tianbao fled to Jiuzhen County (central Vietnam), gathered the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses, and entered the siege of Aizhou (Vietnam, Thanh Hoa), Chen Baxian led the army again to quell the rebellion, and was rewarded by General Feng Zhenyuan, Xijiang Governor, Gao Yao Taishou, and the military of the seven counties.

When Gao Cheng began to control the power of the Yuan and Wei dynasties at the age of 21 and controlled the entire north, the 43-year-old Chen Baxian finally had a small territory in the Lingnan region, and also experienced an elite division in the war.
