Chapter 347 There is no idle land in the four seas, and the farmer is still starving to death

Li Yunze originally thought that Wang Chongrong was a small person, and he only needed to fight to solve it. 岶

However, what surprised him was that Wang Chongrong was actually a very decisive person.

Knowing that Li Yunze came over with soldiers and horses, Wang Chongrong, who was furious, immediately rose up, mobilized his generals and soldiers to give up Hezhong Mansion directly, and went north to Jindi.

Others don't know, but he Wang Chongrong knows.

The elite main force of the Yellow Nest was basically destroyed by Li Yunze.

Qin Zongquan was wiped out in a battle before, how could Mengnan, who could be called a sweep of thousands of armies under the wielding of the golden hoop stick, face it head-on, and he didn't have a water curtain hole!

Such a decisive style really surprised Li Yunze.

Although he has thousands of armor in his hand, he has to cross the river and climb the mountains along the way, and there are still passes blocking him, where can he catch up. 岶

As for taking all the soldiers and horses with you, that's a joke.

With hundreds of thousands of people around him, how could Li Yunze have the time and energy to play hide and seek with Wang Chongrong.

There was no way, he could only take out a small notebook, bold and aggravated Wang Chongrong on the small notebook, and drew a circle to show the focus.

So many worlds have come down, but none of those who have been in his small book have a good time.

Wang Chongrong's previous name was Zhu Wen, but Zhu Wen liked Li Yunze very much because of the gift he gave, so the ranking drop was already behind Wang Chongrong.

As for the other people in the small book, such as Emperor Li Yi, Tian Lingzi, the head of the eunuch group, and the gate valve of the five surnamed Qiwang families, they are all small people who are not worth mentioning.

The incident in Rivertown is an episode, but the effect is still remarkable. 岶

On Li Yunze's next trip to Bianzhou, no one in the military towns dared to think carefully, and even the people took the initiative to turn a blind eye.

After all, in this troubled world where force is respected, fist fighting is the most effective pass.

Bianzhou, just look at the name to know where this is.

That's right, it is Bianzhou in Bianliang City, which is the famous Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion in the future.

It is famous because it is the focus of competition between various forces in times of war.

And the reason why it is the focus of contention is because it is located in the middle of the world, with developed transportation, southeast and northwest, and who wants to fight whom.

Of course, while it is convenient to send troops to fight others, it is also extremely vulnerable to attack. 岶

Li Yunze is too familiar with this place, although it is very different from more than 200 years later, but after all, it is Bianzhou and Kaifeng Mansion, and no one in this world is more familiar with this place than him.

The army drove to Bianzhou and quickly took over the city defenses.

The first thing Li Yunze did after entering the city was not to recruit girls to enrich the backyard, but to drive away all the people in the yamen before and replace them with the people he brought from Chang'an City.

This is very important, and one thing that has not been changed in China for thousands of years is the intertwined power of the locality.

No matter how they behave, whether they are good people and good deeds or evil deeds, the root cause is that the snake is entrenched in the place.

It used to be called Haoqiang, now it is called Gate Valve, and later it is called Gentry.

Li Yunze believes that with his strong strength as the backing, no one in the local forces dares to find trouble, and even takes the initiative to work, giving money and food, clansmen and sisters, just like the Great Demon Master of Guangwu. 岶

But that's not what he wants.

When he was there, the local forces were naturally honest, the dragon had to be coiled, the tiger had to lie down, and no one dared to blow up the thorns.

But after he is gone, as time goes by, he will inevitably show his true colors and become a moth that corrupts the country.

Therefore, whenever he goes to a place, the first thing he does is to uproot the local forces first.

Things are going well, although there are some turbulent obstacles, but in the face of tens of thousands of armor soldiers, any kind of obstacle is a small thing that is not worth mentioning.

Moreover, Li Yunze can also take advantage of the situation to hang up spitting on them, go out to walk the dog without a leash, and come to see his left foot when he shouts injustice.

The family's belongings were naturally confiscated, the houses were all taken, and the fields were needless to say. 岶

While cleaning up local forces, the crackdown on urban fox societies and energetic groups in various parts of Bianzhou was also carried out simultaneously.

It's easy to deal with these city fox society rats, but it's actually the local forces behind them that are difficult to deal with.

With the covert support of local forces, dynamic groups can do all kinds of evil.

But if the local forces are eliminated first, then these city fox society rats will really be shouted and beaten by everyone, even a group of farmers can be disposed of with a hoe.

As for the candidates to replace them, they were all recruited and arranged by Li Yunze when he was in Chang'an City, as well as retired sergeants in the army.

The scholars he recruited knew very well what the Tang Dynasty was like, and if they stayed, they would definitely not end well, after all, the position was limited, and they couldn't stand at all if they didn't have a foot.

So they all followed Li Yunze. 岶

Moreover, Li Yunze opened a literacy class in the army to teach non-commissioned officers to read and write.

During the daytime march, everyone carried a wooden plank on their backs, and on the board was written the words that the comrades behind them wanted to learn.

Before going to bed at night, the scholars who accompanied the army would gather in battalions and sergeants to impart knowledge for an hour.

It is not required to be proficient in the words of the sages, as long as you can read and write.

Moreover, the sergeant will be properly arranged after retiring due to injury, or retiring when he is old, or after he takes the initiative to apply.

Either enter the yamen of various places, or be in the fields for the old village of the village.

Therefore, the sergeants were very enthusiastic about learning, and Li Yunze provided sufficient resources such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and wooden cards, and the entire Xuanwu army was rapidly transforming into a literate army. 岶

The good treatment of the retired non-commissioned officers has in turn stimulated the enthusiasm for learning in the army, and at the same time, the morale and support for Li Yunze are also rapidly increasing.

The most intuitive embodiment is that every time the sergeants make meritorious deeds, there are fewer and fewer people who choose to exchange meritorious services for financial rewards, and everyone accumulates meritorious deeds and is ready to arrange a good future when they retire.

After arranging the affairs in the army, the next step is to arrange the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who followed him to Bianzhou.

Not only them, but also hundreds of thousands of local people in Bianzhou have to fall on his shoulders.

Most of the feudal envoys don't care, as long as they can receive money and food on time, as for the life or death of the people, it is their own business.

As for whether the peasants will starve to death after most of the grain is collected, the court and the local festivals basically don't care.

Starve to death, starve to death, anyway, there are many people in the Tang Dynasty. 岶

Li Yunze can't do it, he didn't come to be a feudal town, he came to save the people who were struggling in the troubled times.

And he knows very well that population is the foundation of everything, so not only can he not starve the people to death, but he must also make them live as well as possible.

It is already July of the first year of Zhonghe, and the autumn harvest is about to begin.

While sorting out the acres of land and distributing fields to the people who followed him, Li Yunze expressed his attitude to the six counties under the jurisdiction of Bianzhou that all the autumn taxes this year would be exempted.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar up and down.

Naturally, the people cheered and shouted that Jiedu was the reincarnation of a saint.

But Li Yunze's subordinates were dumbfounded. 岶

If there is no autumn grain, even if they don't send taxes to Chang'an City, what do they eat and what do they use?

Relying on the previous seizures, it is indeed possible to support the grain harvest until next year, but everyone tacitly assumes that those seizures belong to the private property of the Jiedu envoys.

In these years, which festival envoy will use his private property...

"Use these captures to pay for the local expenses in the army." Li Yunze's words made everyone unbelievable.

It's true!

Those who have insight will secretly think, 'The knots are very big!' ’

If you don't collect money for yourself, but use it to raise soldiers and people, it must have a grand plan. 岶

All of a sudden, there are many smart people who choose to take the initiative to take the initiative, which can be regarded as a kind of horse betting.

There have been too many such things in the past dynasties.

Of course, Li Yunze has a plan, but he really doesn't care about these things.

He can use gold, silver, all kinds of jewelry, etc., to go to the modern world in exchange for massive materials to feed everyone.

Because there is a time and space door, of course, it is very calm.

If not, you'll have to scratch your head to the Mediterranean and think hard about how to be more productive.

Guantian, the fields confiscated by local forces, and the fields that became borderless because of the war were all divided by Li Yunze. 岶

Not only the people, but also the officers and soldiers in the army were also assigned to Yongye Tian according to their respective military exploits.

If the sergeants have relatives in their families, they can take care of them themselves. If you don't have it, you can rent it to the people in the neighborhood to plant and collect rent.

With this separation, the cohesion and loyalty of the army soared again.

Li Yunze made it clear to everyone, whether it was the sergeants or the common people, and he also wrote clearly in black and white on the land deed, and all the fields were converted into Yongye fields, and the division of fields was cancelled.

However, Yongyetian can only inherit from now on, not buy and sell.

Sons and daughters can inherit it, but if you can't do it, you can adopt a son.

You can grow your own, rent it, or even abandon it. The only thing that cannot be bought and sold, once it is found, not only will it be heavily fined, but it will also be confiscated. 岶

This is the method that Li Yunze summed up after traveling through many worlds, and used it to deal with the most serious problem of land annexation, which has fallen in a thousand years.

In the past, he directly declared that all the land belonged to the emperor, but now he is only a festival envoy, which is not easy to say.

After the division of the fields, a wedding trend quickly blew in the entire Bianzhou.

It's very simple, there is a permanent birth.

If you have your own industry, you have to have an heir to inherit it, which will naturally cause a wedding trend, and even push the price of the local bride price soaring.

Fortunately, Li Yunze is tax-free and paid, whether in the army or locally, singles can basically afford to marry wives.

If you really can't, let's wait until next year to save money. 岶

At the time of the autumn harvest, Li Yunze showed his ability to make money.

He ordered a large number of iron tools and a variety of agricultural tools from the modern world, including but not limited to sickles, rakes, iron plows, hoes, flat poles, baskets, carts, bamboo sieves, shovels, threshing machines, etc.

And then they were distributed to the people for free.

Even before the troubled times, not all people could use these agricultural tools, let alone iron tools.

In the era of war, iron tools were one of the most important resources for the feudal towns, and special agricultural tools were basically snatched and melted to make weapons and armor.

In many places, people can only use wooden farm tools to do farm work.

In addition to low production efficiency, there is also a lot of loss to users. 岶

It is difficult for modern people to understand how tiring it is to do farm work, and in an era of low productivity, it is really a life in exchange for food.

Bending down to harvest the grain, one by one to harvest. The scorching sun on his head has been dry all day, and he can't straighten his waist.

Turning over the land is really a hoe after hoe, so tired that both hands cramp.

Not to mention watering the land, running back and forth with buckets, the calluses on my shoulders grinding layer after layer.

When the grain was threshing, it was not a grain that dared to be discarded.

It was really tiring, and the body was exchanged for food.

The agricultural tools provided by Li Yunze can greatly improve efficiency and reduce the hardship of the people. 岶

He also built numerous waterwheels on the Bianhe River, led people to dig countless canals, and so on.

After the autumn harvest, Li Yunze also offered a high price to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the people.

Compared with directly forcibly requisitioning food, spending money to buy it makes the people smile.

After working hard to complete the autumn harvest, Li Yunze finally had the time and energy to consider his expansion plan.

It is also a tradition to fight after the autumn harvest.

The first target that Li Yunze is eyeing is Songzhou on the edge of Bianzhou!

Received Zhang Hui, the daughter of Zhang Rui, the assassin of Songzhou. 岶
