Of course, Jandhu will not come out to greet ......

In fact, he didn't pay attention to Wang Yue at all, what else could he say at this time, saying that he was blocking Wang Yue from entering the court as a magistrate of the imperial court?

Not to be reasonable.

It doesn't make sense to talk about that.

Just hit it!

Of course, it is still impossible to fight directly, and Wang Dawang is not ready to attack at all.

Immediately after Wang Yue's 20,000 troops camped outside Zhending City, and then began to make siege postures, mainly to make various siege equipment, mainly counterweight trebuchets, anyway, they are behind their own territory, at this time just completed the division of land, and harvested the first season of their own food The people of Zhongshan are happily transporting military supplies here with a cart and a car.

Grain, meat, and even canned sea fish......

Served in clay pots.

This season has not been frozen, and it is directly transported from Tianjin Water Transport Dingzhou.

In short, the 20,000-strong army set up twenty military camps outside Zhending City in early winter, ate and drank enough, and then made siege equipment within sight of the city wall.

The 50,000 defenders on the city walls watched silently.

They also didn't attack, the outside is a genuine winning army, the field battle is definitely not good, it is to drag it down with stubbornness, the gentry of Hebei actually didn't think about really defeating Wang Yue, they used this war to show their strength to force Wang Yue to give up the idea of harming them. In the final analysis, they don't think that Wang Yue is really determined to Juntian, in their opinion, Wang Yue just wants to buy Diao Min, and then use it as a basic plate to complete his ambition to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne.

The Hebei gentry did not mind him plotting to usurp the throne.

In fact, no one minds, whether it is the gentry of the Great Song Dynasty or the common people, they all know very well that the old Zhao family itself is the world taken by the orphans and widows.

The old Zhao family itself was a country that was usurped by the dynasty.

So why can't others seize this country in the same way?

But Wang Yue's game of cleaning the gentry and then dividing the land is unacceptable to these gentry, if he can use this war to let him know that the gentry are in a hurry and have the ability to stop him, then he can let him retreat and give up this kind of play, and then the rest depends on whether he can reform himself. If he can reform and protect the interests of the gentry, that is, he wants the Hebei gentry to persuade him, and the Hebei gentry will happily persuade him to advance, and then praise him as the holy lord Mingjun.

It's okay if he doesn't like Confucianism.

The five generations of chaotic monarchs, some of them did not like Confucianism.

It is said that the Southern Han Dynasty let the literati want to be officials first, so stop the literati from cutting and being an official for the Liu family while hurting and happily?

At the end of the day, this is not a fundamental contradiction.

Whether Confucianism is not the key is not the key, and the fundamental contradiction is whether to be with the gentry or with the poor ghosts, whether to continue to annex or to equalize the land, other issues are not the problem, but the question of the line is the fundamental problem.

How much stronger are the alien invaders than Wang Yue?

Aren't the gentry still kneeling the same?

The key is to maintain the gentry like the foreign invaders, the gentry under the foreign invaders are serf owners, happier than the landlords under the Han emperor, and the Jiangnan landlords of the Ming Dynasty still miss my Dayuan, under the rule of Dayuan, they can be serf owners as they want, and they can squeeze the serfs as they want. Obviously, the Great Yuan does not respect Confucianism, eight prostitutes, nine Confucianism and ten beggars, this is the Great Yuan system, and Confucianism is listed behind prostitutes, which prevents the Jiangnan gentry of the Ming Dynasty from touting the prosperity of the Great Yuan?

So this question is not the key.

They miss the prosperity of the Great Yuan Dynasty not because Zhu Yuanzhang disrespects Confucianism, at least Zhu Yuanzhang will not list Confucianism behind prostitutes, they miss the prosperity of the Great Yuan only because Zhu Yuanzhang played the set that Wang Yue was emulating.

That's the wrong route!

"The wrong route is the real mistake!"

Wang Yue sighed.

In the drizzle of early winter, he quietly climbed the city wall of Zhending, and in the sleep of the soldiers defending the city, he walked silently to the bottom of the city, and then threw the black cloak on his body aside, wearing a ragged leather jacket of an ordinary soldier on the outside but still armor inside, and then squeezed into a group of soldiers sleeping under the eaves of the open house......

"Squeeze it, squeeze it warm!"

He said.

As he spoke, he lifted the broken felt of the soldier beside him.

"Who are you?"

The latter said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Yue simply took out a handful of copper coins......

"Well, they're all my own brothers, why be so polite!"

The latter instantly changed to a smiley face and took it, and then moved his ass to make way for him.

There was a sudden influx of 50,000 troops in the city, and there were also gentry who had taken refuge with money and money from the counties outside the city and around the city, and the houseguards and female dependents they brought with them, plus countless people who transported supplies, and merchants and even prostitutes who came to make these soldiers rich, were already overcrowded. In addition, most of the commanders are civilian officials and soldiers, and how can these people consider the treatment of soldiers, pay them full salaries, and let them have enough to eat, which is already very rare, and how can they consider their housing problems.

Besides, this is wartime, so you have to try to be near the city walls.

Sleeping on the street is inevitable.

The campers who were on duty on the city walls, and those who were not on duty under the castle were crowded around like this.

"The rain is over?"

Wang Yue complained.

"It's good to rain, it's better to rain than not to rain, and I hope the wind and rain will be smooth next year."

The soldier said.

"So what, don't you have to pay rent the same, my brother is a customer?"

Wang Yue asked.

"It's not the customer who will make this money, there is no land on the left and right, they are all farming for the main household, and they may be able to make a fortune if they come out and work hard."

The soldier said wistfully.

"I heard that the other side is giving land."

Wang Yue said in a low voice.

"Nonsense, doesn't it mean that the King of Zhongshan is the same as that Li Yan, who enclosed the land for public land, and the people who farmed the land were all his tenants?

It's not that we haven't planted the official field, and the rent is two percent lower than the private rent, which is the rule of the official field, and it has always been the case, and it is a good thing to say that it is really two percent lower, but the official field has a harmony, and the grain we grow needs to be sold to the place every year, and the price of the official is the final say. It's all money, but the official has to charge an extra two or three percent of the rice consumption, not to mention that this tax also has to be paid, and in the end, maybe it's better to plant the owner's field, this thing is a lie.

The land of the lord is at least clear.

This depends on the faces of the officials and the officials, and this fire pit is deeper than the ground of the main household. ”

The soldier said.

In the Song Dynasty, official fields or public fields always occupied a large proportion.

But this system is definitely not for the benefit of the people, but it has something to do with the country, but in fact it is for the emperor and officials.

The rent of public land is two percent lower than that of private land, but when the actual rent is collected, officials and officials often add various losses in order to fill their private pockets, and even the non-harvested milled rice that originally collected brown rice is rough if the milled rice is not paid, that is, an additional one is paid to make up, and there is a big bucket to collect, which is the same as the landlord. However, there is another task that the tenants of the public land must complete is to make peace, that is, to sell a part of the grain to the grain office, which is an important reason why the military rations of the Song Dynasty have always been able to barely maintain, and the number of grains increased or decreased according to needs.

The Northern Song Dynasty is better.

At least the Northern Song Dynasty really gave money.

The Southern Song Dynasty gave paper money.

And when you are in the same place, you have to collect the loss, and the loss is generally as high as two or three percent, and no matter what your harvest is, you must complete this number, and as for the harvest, the measuring device is even more troublemaker.

In short, the public land is a good thing in theory, but in fact no one has operated it as a good thing, the emperor only wants an increase in income other than taxes, and the officials and officials want to take the opportunity to make money, and in the end, the treatment of the common people who rent the public land is not better than that of the landlord.

It can't actually be strong either.

Otherwise, they all go to cultivate public land, and the landlord will have to reduce the rent to attract people.

Those officials will not let this kind of thing happen, they will only make the public land less cost-effective than the private land through operation, so as to ensure that the landlord's tenants will not resent the landlord, after all, there are worse public land to compare, this kind of thing officials have tricks. Even if it is Zhu Yuanzhang's kind of official land that has no peace, no land rent, and only a rated weight, in the end, it is not the same as being played by the officials until the people can't survive, and they only need to be forced to pay rent when natural disasters are out of production, and when they are forced to serve in the agricultural season, they are forced to serve in the agricultural season when they are served, and they are overcharged when they collect taxes, in short, there are ways to deal with it.

The key is whether you dare or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't dare when he was alive.

This tyrant is really a pile of heads cut down.

And the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not kill the scholars, so these are just played.

"No, what I've heard is that no rent is charged."

Wang Yue said.

He also wants to play with him, and if he doesn't get along, wouldn't he let profiteers manipulate food prices?

And the war became his manipulation of food prices.

"No rent?"

The soldier instantly came to his senses, and suddenly pushed away the broken felt and sat up, and at the same time, a person next to him who was also listening to them also came over and looked at Wang Yue suspiciously.

"I really don't collect rent, where are you from, this is what the king of Zhongshan himself said, if you don't collect rent, your annual land will double that of private land."

Wang Yue said.

"Isn't that just a fight?"

The soldier said in astonishment.

The tax rate of the Song Dynasty varies greatly, the highest is the south of the Yangtze River, but it is only a few liters of rice, the high one bucket of rice per mu is more than a point, and there are few more than two buckets of rice, so it has to be Hangzhou, Xuancheng, Poyang Lake and other high-yield paddy fields, but it is generally less than one bucket, and the vast majority of the north is four or five liters or even lower.

At this time, several people had already come over, and most of them were so cold that they couldn't sleep on such a rainy night anyway.

"You're not lying, are you?"

A soldier said.

"How am I going to lie to someone? We have already divided the land opposite, to Zhongshan, Hejian these places as soon as you inquire about it, and not only that, those messy taxes are not collected, it is said that the king of Zhongshan has promised in public, even Ding Yin will not be collected in the future, and the official field will only collect the field endowment, and do not collect loss. This is the case in Yanshan Mansion, those who farm do not collect Ding Yin, do not collect messy taxes, they only collect land taxes, and they do not charge any loss when collecting land taxes, and this year's summer tax is collected according to this. ”

Wang Yue said.
