And the sentence why not eat minced meat may be the description of him.

"Childe, haven't you ever been in the field, the best paddy field, a good year is barely three harvests a year, but no more than eight hundred catties."

Chen Lingyue said helplessly.

"Wow, it's not eight hundred catties for three harvests, if it is doubled, wouldn't it be 1,600 catties."

Li Yue seemed a little excited, and as soon as the words fell, Chen Lingyue was even more helpless.

"Childe, I don't know where you got this idea from, but it's really hard to do it now."

Chen Lingyue said with a bitter face.

"If I have a way to improve manure to get the most out of it, and a fertilizer that can be used with manure to increase yield, would you say okay?"

Li Yue's face was indifferent, and as soon as the words fell, Chen Lingyue was stunned.

"If what Gongzi said can really be promoted, doubling the yield per mu, although it is not easy to do, but the extra grain is enough to pay taxes."

Chen Lingyue said excitedly.

"That's okay, I don't want too much, after all, they are guilty, and they must be allowed to work to reform their minds, so that they will be more stable."

Li Yue's face was very affirmative, which made Chen Lingyue on the other side also have some doubts.

"Childe, what does labor reform mean? Will this punishment make them no longer rebellious? ”

Chen Lingyue asked puzzled.

"Well, how do you say that? In fact, some negative emotions can be released in labor, and a new self can also be shaped in labor. ”

Li Yue didn't know how to answer, just casually said a few perfunctory words, and then continued leisurely.

Hearing these words, Chen Lingyue fell into deep thought.

Under the dominance of preconceived thinking, such a novel topic has a feeling of being opened.

"Li Yue is really an extraordinary person, his thoughts are incomprehensible, but he is the Tao."

Chen Lingyue sighed and hurriedly caught up with Li Yue's pace.

After ten days of integration, Li Yue only used less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to defeat Li Zhongshan and Zhao Zetian's army of nearly 100,000, and at the same time collected nearly 80,000 prisoners.

Of the 80,000 captives, only 5,000 qualified soldiers were found, and the rest were all convicted of treason.

However, the sin of rebellion can be offset by hard labor or high taxes.

The makeshift camps were like simple shacks, unable to even shelter from the wind and rain, and could only barely sleep next to each other.

In the prisoner camp, the two brothers of the Liang family were originally captured strong men.

Because of their strong bodies, the two brothers also served as their own chiefs.

But at this time, just like ordinary soldiers, they were all locked here, hungry and unable to sleep.

"Big brother, we were arrested, and we didn't take refuge in that Li Zhongshan at all, why should we be accused of treason?"

Liang Wen, who is the younger brother, said very uncomfortably.

"There's no way, the world is like this, if we hadn't followed Li Zhongshan, I'm afraid we would have starved to death a long time ago, right?"

Liang Bin said helplessly.

"So what now? Just wait here to die, give me one meal a day, I can't sleep when I'm hungry right now. ”

Liang Wen cried with a sad face, looking hungry.

Hearing this, Liang Bin took out half a cake from his arms and secretly handed it to Liang Wen.

"There's so much left, you save some food, and I don't know if we have food for the next meal, maybe we'll be beheaded."

Liang Bin said with a wry smile.

"Brother, I really don't want to live a hungry life, even if it's to cut off my head, at least give me a full meal!"

Liang Wen looked pained, and then broke half of the cake in half, and returned the larger one to Liang Bin.

In this way, the two brothers of the Liang family quietly ate the broken cakes.

Even if it was already the third watch day after the two of them finished eating, it was the time when they were drowsy, and the two of them didn't say much, and fell asleep on the ground.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

The earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums woke up the captives who had already fallen asleep, and everyone looked sad.

But he didn't say a word more, as if he was hungry, or maybe he was scared.

"Listen, young lord is merciful, forgive you and other rebellious sins, so that the grace of heaven will always be remembered."

A man on a war horse shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the people in the prisoner of war camp felt as if they had been pardoned, and everyone had hope of survival.

"Also, forgiveness is a blessing from heaven, and you are guilty of great sins, and there are only two ways to wash away your sins."

The man continued to speak loudly.

Originally, the captives were still thinking about being able to go home and reunite with their families, but as soon as these words came out, the people around them were a little lost.

Seeing that there was no response, the man who spoke coughed twice.

"Give you two choices, one is to serve five years of hard labor, and the other is to pay five years of high taxes, and of course, the land you plant will be yours in the end."

When the man said this, all the captives around him stood up, and although they were staggering, none of them could lie still.

When the man finished speaking, he rode away directly and hurried to the next prisoner camp.

At this time, Liang Bin and Liang Wen were all excited, whether it was to serve conscription or pay excess taxes, it was better than staying in a prisoner camp.

"Big brother, I'm strong, so I don't have to go hungry, I'd better go to serve as a conscript, after all, listen to them persuade the conscription, and I can give two days of rations for one day."

Liang Wen said excitedly.

"Brother, listen to me, farming, even if we starve for a few years, then we will have our own fields."

Liang Bin said bitterly.

"No, I'm hungry, I don't want to go hungry for a day, brother, I'll sign up now, do you want to go with me?"

Liang Wen looked anxious, and wanted to leave as soon as the words fell, but Liang Bin grabbed him.

"You, you have to think about it carefully, after five years of hard labor, there is nothing, you have to start again, this is a God-given opportunity, you can't miss it!"

Liang Bin said reluctantly.

"Brother, please let me go, I just want to eat a full meal, even if I am allowed to die, I can't starve anymore."

Liang Wen tried his best to break free, as if he was afraid that the quota for conscription would be gone later.

And at this time, Liang Bin, who saw his younger brother so resolute, also let go of his hand helplessly.

"Brother, if you come back alive in five years, you won't be hungry if you have a bite to eat."

Liang Bin said with a sigh.

"Don't worry, brother, as long as I don't starve to death, I will definitely come back to you."

As soon as Liang Wen's voice fell, he turned around and left, and at this time, many of the prisoners all chose to serve as conscripts and left the camp overnight with the brigade.

By morning, Liang Bin saw that there were 5,000 captives in the entire camp, and only a few hundred captives remained, and chose to pay the excess taxes and go back to farming.

Liang Bin looked ahead, feeling relieved, and his brother insisted on their own choice, and he was looking forward to a reunion and reunion in the future.
