Chapter 246: Cornered

"Those villagers must be Taiping Dao believers, and they have something to do with the Yellow Turban."

"The lord wants to use the fire attack as a reason to let the villagers send a message to the yellow turban on the mountain, and the people on the mountain know that they are going to be attacked by fire, and they are likely to run down the mountain.

Zhang Liao first analyzed.

Xu Huang asked, "What if the people on the mountain don't come down?" ”

Yang Zhao said: "I will not only use fire to coerce, but also to lure. Waiting for Uncle Hui to tell those villagers that they must evacuate within three days, and if they have nowhere to go, they can go to Qi County, Beihai County and other places, and they can enter the household registration. No matter how many people there are, we have received all of them in Qingzhou, all the borderless land, let them reclaim it, exempt it from tax for two years, and ten taxes for the third year, no matter who it is, as long as they are willing to submit, it is this condition. ”

Guo Jia was shocked: "Tax exemption for two years, and pay ten taxes?" No, it's not good for us! If this group of people can be brought back, from the time of reclamation to the harvest, we must send grain relief, with a tax of ten taxes and one tax, when can we get back the grain sent out? ”

"I don't approve of it either."

Jia Xu was also opposed.

Yang Zhao said with a smile: "I'm just saying that in the third year, ten taxes and one tax, after the fourth year, all the taxes will be adjusted to a normal state, although the first three years will pay more, but from the fourth year, this huge number of people will be able to produce income for us, and it will not be lost, right?" ”

Jia Xu and Guo Jia: "......"

It shouldn't be a loss!

"The lord's method is a bit detrimental."

Guo Jia laughed: "In the first three years, they were allowed to take root in Qingzhou, and in the fourth year, they adjusted their taxes, and they found that they were deceived by the lord, and they couldn't leave if they wanted to, unless they were willing to give up the fields they had worked so hard to reclaim and become thieves again." ”

Yang Zhao smiled: "Sometimes, a little loss of the plan can bring effect. ”

"If they do, they still won't go down, what?"

Fang Rui asked.

Yang Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the mountain: "Then burn it, these people are entrenched here, for our Qingzhou, they are a thorn in the flesh, since they can't be subdued, then they don't have to live." You may think that I am ruthless, but if I am not ruthless, how can I level the world? If the mountain is burned, it will destroy the living conditions of the people, but before the burning, all the nearby villages, whether it is related to the yellow turban or not, I will move them away, and in another three or five years, the burned mountain will be restored, and it can be reclaimed again, and the impact will not be great. ”

"The heart of the lord is not ruthless!"

Jia Xu explained: "We give the people on the mountain enough time and opportunity, if they still refuse to leave, they will bring about their own destruction!" ”

Zhang Liao said: "I only hope that they don't go to Cao Yuanjun's side." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "The method of the lord's lure is to prevent them from running to Cao Yuanjun's side, throwing out their interests, and luring people to our territory. ”

The generals suddenly realized.

The lord was thoughtful, and they were worried in vain.

"Near the mountain range, the villages that depend on this mountain, Fang Rui is responsible for contacting, in case it really wants to burn, try to move people away." Yang Zhao said again, "As for the villages related to the Yellow Turban, it will continue to be Shu Zhi in charge." ”

"Good!"

Fang Rui and Chen Zhi said in response.

A moment later.

Chen Zhi went to that village again.

"General!"

When the village chief saw it, he first went out to greet him.

Chen Zhi got straight to the point and said: "The Yellow Turban traitor, doing a lot of evil, our lord came to conquest, but the traitor is hiding in the mountains and forests, the situation in the mountains is complicated, it is inconvenient to attack, and he is ready to set fire to the mountain, in order not to implicate you, the lord gives you three days to move out as soon as possible, and if you don't move overtime, you will bear your own life and death." ”

"What!"

The village chief was shocked.

The nearby villagers who heard this all looked at them in shock.

"We depend on this mountain for survival, if Yang Envoy Jun burns the mountain, we ...... What are we going to do? The village chief said anxiously.

Some of their relatives and friends are also in the mountains.

If such a fire continues, won't it burn your own relatives as well?

"If you burn the mountain, we have nowhere to go!"

"Please tell the envoy that we must not do this, without this mountain, we will have no way to live."

"Ask the general......

……

The crowd pleaded and pleaded.

Chen Zhi said loudly: "Don't panic! The lord also considered that you may have nowhere to go, you can move to Qi County, Beihai County and other counties in Qingzhou together, no matter how many people there are, the lord will accept them all and give you household registration. Within the scope of Qingzhou, all the ownerless wasteland, you can reclaim it casually, and promise to be exempt from tax for two years, and ten taxes for the third year. ”

Hearing such conditions, the village chief and the others instantly fell silent.

They are now rebels, and if they move away with the army, they can have a household registration and can cultivate the land, and they will turn from thieves to good citizens.

On top of that, tax exemption for two years and ten taxes for the third year!

They will follow the Yellow Turban rebellion, and being brainwashed by Taiping Dao is one of the reasons, and there is also that they are so hungry that they can't afford to eat.

This is a hundred times better than following the yellow turban and being a thief!

"May I ask the general, did you really say that?" The village chief asked in surprise.

Chen Zhi said: "Is it possible, our lord can still lie to you?" Within three days, you have to move out, think it through, come to the camp and see us again, don't wait for it, so be it! ”

With that, he left directly.

I also have to inform other villages.

Looking at Chen Zhiyuan's back, these villagers were stunned in place.

I couldn't believe it for a while, if Yang Zhao's promise was true, if he didn't believe it, he wouldn't move away, and when the time came, he would set fire to the mountain, the village was so close to the mountain, it was easy to be burned together.

"Village Chief, what should I do?"

A villager asked.

The village chief couldn't make up his mind, and hesitated: "Quickly spread the news to the mountain, discuss with our people whether they should move, if they move, let them go down the mountain as soon as possible, Yang Yuanjun said that no matter how many people there are, they can accept it." ”

They thought it made sense and hurried back to make arrangements.

Chen Zhi walked through all the villages and then returned to the camp.

"Lord, it's all right!" He said.

Yang Zhao nodded slightly, and said: "There are so many people, moving to our territory, it is still very troublesome to manage." ”

Those yellow turbans, whether they are soldiers or people, are used to being thieves, and when the time comes, they are afraid that they will dare to do anything and disrupt the discipline of Qingzhou.

Guo Jia said: "You can use heavy canons, suppress with force and force!" Acts such as disorder, violation of laws and regulations, and crimes should be severely punished, and those who are serious should be directly killed, so as to set an example, and the means must not be soft. ”

Dealing with this group of people, soft-handedness will only make them worse.

"The right threat, coupled with the right inducement, can govern so many people well."

Jia Xu agreed with Guo Jia's words, and said: "These are just a test for the lord, in the future, you will need to face similar people to govern the world, and there will be more." ”

"You have a point, but this test is too heavy."

Yang Zhao smiled helplessly.

However, some issues still need to be seriously considered, and this kind of test seems to have come just in time.
