Chapter 93: Poison Pill 8

The lords of the places were also secretly happy, thinking that this King Xing was afraid that he was a dirt bun, so he collected the three-layer tax so low, and even the prefect not only collected so little, but also charged higher in the Ming Dynasty in the past.

Anyway, most of the people who pay taxes are local ordinary people, and there are a hundred ways for large families to avoid taxes, and they are all paid anyway, and they are handed over to the prefect who only takes money and does not work, so it is better to hand it over to King Xing.

But Yang Xin obviously wouldn't be satisfied with this, and continued to cry and mourn: "Thank you elders for your support, it's just that this tax has to wait until after the autumn harvest. ”

Everyone looked at each other, it seems that the support given, King Xing is not very satisfied, and now he can only harden his head, Li Anbo thought about it, and said: "This is also right, you still can't make King Xing embarrassed, the old man decided to deposit another 20,000 taels of silver into Daxing Qianzhuang, not only to earn interest, but also to solve King Xing's urgent need, why not?" Do you think so? ”

"What Li Lao said is right, I will also deposit 10,000 yuan in silver, earn the interest of Daxing, and make a fortune with King Xing!"

Another person agreed, and everyone expressed their attitudes, more than 120,000, as little as 35,000, and soon, about 100,000 taels were in hand.

Because they have already saved before, this time it is added, so a few thousand can also be saved.

Yang Xin only smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly asked Xu Sheng to record everyone's names and numbers, so that they were embarrassed to regret it.

In this way, after this battle, he had to deposit 200,000 yuan in silver, as well as 20,000 yuan in the booty, and suddenly Yang Xin had more than 200,000 taels of silver available in his hand.

It is no wonder that in all dynasties, the founding emperor had to have the support of the landlord, he was really damn rich, and he cooperated with the poor, except for a bad life, there was nothing, and he could do nothing without money, he could only rely on robbery, just like Li Zicheng.

At this moment, a person suddenly said: "King Xing, the little one is willing to join Daxing, and Xueyang commanded to pay 10,000 taels of silver to get three shares and become a citizen of Daxing, I don't know if King Xing is willing to accept it?" ”

Yang Xin was stunned for a moment, this person rushed to join the gang, a good thing, looking over, I saw that this person was only fifteen or sixteen years old, very immature, very white-skinned, a little cringe, not too bold.

Yang Xin asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man replied: "The small one's name is Chen Mulong, and the family was wiped out by Liang Daya, leaving only a small man to survive, fortunately, King Xing defeated Liang Daya, killed hundreds of thieves to avenge my Chen family, and rescued the two sisters of the little one, our Chen family is willing to follow King Xing in the future." ”

Yang Xin nodded and said, "Haha, it's good, this king has allowed it!" ”

Chen Mulong said again: "However, the cash in the small family has been robbed by Liang Daya, so I can only learn from Yang's command, use the land to buy shares, and ask King Xing to make it convenient." ”

Yang Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all the same, land is also money, Bai Youcai, write it down, go back and go through the household procedures for him." ”

Now with the support of the landlords, there is no shortage of silver, and the land can be better fought with these landlords in the future.

It's just that only this Chen Mulong expressed his willingness to join the gang, and the others obviously don't want to be thieves easily, these are old foxes, looking at the direction of the wind, they are now powerful with themselves, and they can't keep the Qing soldiers coming and immediately change to the Qing army, and the landlords regard the land as more important than their lives, and they are not allowed to have private fields in Daxing, and the land must be handed over, and this alone can scare off most of the landlords.

The effect of the poison pill plan is really amazing, as soon as Yang Xin's banquet is over, he ordered the expansion of the army, and recruited another 600 new soldiers, now there is money and food, and even the landlords with weapons and armor can have channels to get them, which is much easier than doing it yourself.

As the so-called soldiers are not expensive, it is easy for him to recruit thousands of people now, but he is afraid that there are too many recruits, it is not easy to train soldiers, and it will be embarrassing to make Li Yanbei's battalion look like it.

Another advantage of the poison pill plan is that the landlords are inextricably linked with the government, and with their support, Yang Xin has restored the smooth flow of information, no, Yang Yubu has come to report the news to him again, but this time it is bad news.

"King Xing, the little one got the news, the Qing Dynasty sent the general Fang Daxuan as the governor of Shandong, Chen Jin as the governor of Denglai, leading an army of 5,000 people has set off, preparing to recover the two places of Denglai in Shandong, and the Ming Dynasty also appointed Wang Yu as the governor of Shandong, leading thousands of men and horses to prepare to enter Shandong."

Yang Yubu said nervously, he is now in the same boat as Daxing, but Daming and Daqing can't afford to offend, if they come over, Daxing's life will be difficult.

Yang Xin's face was solemn and asked: "What is the movement between Denglai and Shandong now?" ”

Yang Yubu thought for a while and said: "No, now the people in these two places are in turmoil, all the cities are on the defensive, no one dares to send troops to suppress the thieves, the thief army is powerful, and it has become a pot of porridge!" ”

Yang Xin thought for a while and said: "Although the Ming and Qing dynasties all sent large armies into Shandong, they were all partial divisions, indicating that their focus was not on Denglai in Shandong, and five thousand people were afraid that it would be a problem to suppress thieves, so they must take persuasion as the main thing, supplemented by force, then, the focus of the problem is very clear, whoever can get the support of the two cities will win." ”

Yang Yubu nodded in agreement and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Yang Xin smiled and said, "As the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, what do the two cities need most now?" Someone is the thief for them! Whoever helps them to kill thieves, they will support whom! Let's go and be the thief! ”

Yang Yubu suddenly brightened up and said, "King Xing is high!" ”

Yang Xin continued: "Immediately call the sea harrier to investigate, what other bandits are in Haining, starting tomorrow, the army will send 500 soldiers each time, 200 veterans, and 300 recruits, and take turns to go out of the camp to suppress the thieves!" ”

Obviously, the development of the situation has not given himself too much time, Yang Xin decided to adopt a cruel training method, that is, survival of the fittest, recruits after a week of simple queue training, they will follow the veterans out of the camp to suppress bandits, training in actual combat, although the casualties will be relatively large, but the surviving combat power must be strong, and then, as long as the new recruits are constantly replenished, pass the test of blood and fire, and quickly train an elite soldier.

"Kuroko! Tell Bai Youcai to come over! ”

After Yang Yubu left, Yang Xin immediately called Bai Youcai.

"King Xing, what do you command?"

Bai Youcai asked.

"You organize a conscription office, find a capable person to be responsible, in the future, the recruits can only be recruited by the conscription office, and the generals are not allowed to recruit troops privately, starting tomorrow, recruit another 1,000 reserve battalions, and the generals who stay behind will be responsible for drilling, and make up for the shortage of bandits killed at any time!"

Bai Youcai thought for a while and said, "King Xing, it seems that the general army is responsible for recruiting new troops?" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "We are a Daxing army, not an ordinary army, you must remember that our generals are only responsible for fighting, recruiting recruits, rewarding and punishing soldiers, logistics baggage, promotion of soldiers, distribution of food and salary, armaments, pensions for sacrificed soldiers, and management of military families. ”

Bai Youcai was speechless in surprise, this kind of management model is too different from the army of this era, the generals of this era basically manage everything, even the military salary is issued by the generals, where is Yang Xin said so finely, all aspects of the army, in the future, the military quartermaster camp will be like a nanny, and take care of it meticulously.

"Why are you still stunned? Don't go yet! ”

Bai Youcai came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed to leave.
