Chapter 163: Preparing for Reform
"Evil, take down Zhang Yang for me!" Xiao Yun instructed Dian Wei beside him.
Zhang Yang only had the strength of the early stage of the Sanhua Gathering Peak Realm, so Xiao Yun didn't let Dian Wei make a move just now, and he hadn't moved with anyone for a long time, so he personally tested Zhang Yang's strength!
"Whoa!"
Dian Wei replied, and then his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Zhang Yang in an instant, and slapped it out with a palm, Zhang Yang changed greatly, but he didn't even have a chance to dodge, he was directly hit hard by Dian Wei's palm, and was taken down by the elite soldiers on both sides!
Dong Zhaohe, Zhenggu and all the officials in the hall changed their faces, and they couldn't help but be afraid of this young state pastor who had just taken office, the other party was young, but he was so old and skilled, it was obvious that Zhang Yang was killed as an example!
It is said that the new official took office with three fires, but Xiao Yun's fire also burned too strongly!
I'm afraid that Ding Yuan's three letters are also the ghost of the other party, but after seeing Xiao Yun's methods, who of the civil and military officials below dares to do more?
After Xiao Yunli shocked these officials, he began to install people in various counties and counties, and asked people to make detailed statistics of all the populations of the entire state.
For the county guard positions of Zhang Yang, Dong Zhao and Zheng Gu, Xiao Yun directly sent several of the Hanmen disciples he recruited to take over.
For the soldiers and horses of various counties, Xiao Yun will definitely not let go, after leaving tens of thousands of garrisons for each county, all the remaining troops were forcibly taken over, Xiao Yun has more than 600,000 elite iron horses in his hands, and no county guard dares to openly resist.
After receiving the troops of the ninety-eight counties of the nine counties of Bingzhou, Xiao Yun found that the total number of troops in his hands had reached more than 1.6 million, and he was immediately shocked!
When he was in Shuofang County, he had already recruited more than 300,000 recruits, plus the 380,000 troops he brought back from Luoyang, there were already more than 600,000, and each county also had more than 100,000 garrisons.
Especially in Taiyuan County, Ding Yuan left 200,000 troops when he left, and now all of them have been absorbed by Xiao Yun, which gave him a strong force of 1.6 million all of a sudden.
This number of troops sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much, with the huge area of the entire state, and always guard against the attack of the Huns, once dispersed to the various border lines, this 1.6 million army is estimated to be not much!
And in the face of the upcoming turmoil of the Three Kingdoms, Xiao Yun has no extra troops to chase the Central Plains, and since ancient times, he has been out of power.
For this reason, Xiao Yun began to recruit new soldiers again, and he planned to expand the total number of troops to three million when the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, so that he could not only deal with the alien threat from the prairie at any time, but also have the spare strength to invade several surrounding states.
Especially when the total population of the merger state came out, Xiao Yun felt that the army of three million was nothing for the huge population of the merger state!
According to statistics, the population of the entire state is about 60 million, which is due to the fact that the imperial court has not paid much attention to the state in recent years, which has led to repeated invasions of the frontier by foreign races, and the mountain bandits have become troubles, which has caused a large loss of the population of the state, otherwise, the population of the entire state is at least hundreds of millions!
According to the records, when the Han Empire was at its peak, the entire state had a population of nearly 200 million, what a terrifying number!
The army of more than 1.6 million, more than half of which are cavalry, which makes Zhao Zilong, Zhang Jaw, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong and others under Xiao Yun very happy, and their skills can finally show their skills!
Xiao Yun sent Zhao Zilong to lead 300,000 cavalry to garrison Shuofang County, Zhang Jaw to lead 200,000 cavalry to garrison Yanmen County, and Tai Shici to command 200,000 cavalry to garrison Shangjun.
These three counties are all adjacent to the grassland aliens, and they often have to face the danger of being invaded by aliens, so sending Zhao Zilong, Zhang Jaw, and Tai Shici to garrison them, Xiao Yun can develop the economy of the state with peace of mind!
In addition to leaving 200,000 of the remaining 900,000 troops to guard Taiyuan County, the remaining 700,000 troops were led by Huang Zhong to suppress bandits everywhere, and Xiao Yun would never allow the existence of mountain bandits and robbers on his territory.
Next, Xiao Yun took Jinyang City as the center of his rule, and took Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Princess Xiangxiang, and the families of the generals under his command all from Shuofang City to Jinyang City.
......
Jinyang City, in a pavilion in the backyard of the governor's mansion.
Xiao Yun brought Huo Qingtong, Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Lu Qiling, and Princess Xiangxiang together, wanting them to get to know each other.
The five girls are all fairy-looking, with comparable appearance and temperament, like spotless fairies!
Shi Qingxuan's temperament is pure and refined, she does not eat the fireworks of the world, she is so beautiful that she has a delicate face, she is shy of flowers in the closed moon, sinking fish and geese, and her personality is gentle and elegant, elegant and dignified, although she has a beautiful appearance, but her bones reveal a quiet and elegant that is indisputable with the world, and has a heart-warming temperament and beauty.
As a demon girl, Wanwan has excellent wisdom and a perverse heart, just like an elf from the deepest darkness, and like a thorny rose, with a charming appearance, extremely beautiful, and vicious and vicious, but she dares to love and hate emotionally.
Huo Qingtong and Lu Qiling have some similar personalities, they both like the military, and they have a heroic spirit in their appearance, radiant and heroic, and the women do not let their eyebrows be shaved.
Princess Xiangxiang is clear and jade, bright and beautiful, her skin is like condensation, as white as snow, her personality is innocent, pure and flawless, and she has the air of a fairy.
When the five women got together, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, as if all the spirits in the whole world had gathered on them, and they looked so dazzling, like a beautiful picture, it was estimated that any man would have a trace of admiration when he saw it.
Xiao Yun can have five such confidantes can be described as a blessing from the third generation, he should be happy and proud, but when he gathered the five girls together, Xiao Yun regretted it!
Although the girls were talking and laughing, they seemed to be extremely cordial and harmonious, but Xiao Yun felt a strong smell of gunpowder, especially when the girls would glance at him from time to time, and Xiao Yun was uncomfortable looking at him with meaningful eyes.
"Ahem, that ...... Have you finished talking, I have something to tell you!" Xiao Yun watched the girls chatting endlessly, and quickly interjected.
After listening to Xiao Yun's words, the girls stopped talking, and they all looked over, the air instantly froze, and Xiao Yun suddenly felt cold and swishing.
"What's the matter?" asked Wanwan faintly.
"Now that you have a better understanding of this world, and I have already controlled the entire state, and I want to carry out a reform, can you help me refer to it to see if it is feasible?" Xiao Yun touched his nose and said in a sneer.
"Oh, what do our Xiao officials have ideas, why don't you speak up and listen to them?" Wanwan glanced at Xiao Yun and said lightly.
Xiao Yun listened to Wanwan's tone, and knew that the girls were still jealous of each other and angry with him, but in major matters, the girls all knew the severity!
"First, I want to carry out land reform, and there must be a limit on the number of acres of land that each family owns, and if it exceeds it, it must pay more taxes as a punishment, and every household must have crops on the fields they own, and they must not let the fields be left uncultivated!
"The fields opened up by the peasants can be given a certain amount of tax exemption, so as to encourage the peasants to develop more wasteland, and the families of the soldiers can be exempted from a part of the taxes! If a soldier has made a meritorious service, he can also reward the farmland, and the family members of the soldiers who died in the war can not only receive a pension, but also reduce or reduce a part of the tax! What do you think?" Xiao Yun looked at the women and asked.
"Yes, the policy is very good, it is your kind of land reform that will damage the interests of the Shi clan gatekeepers, you have to be prepared, be careful of them making trouble!" Huo Qingtong looked at Xiao Yun and said seriously.
"The reason why I chose Bingzhou as the foundation in the first place is because the strength of the Bingzhou Shi clan is weak, which is conducive to some of my reforms!" Xiao Yun smiled slightly.
"With your current strength, the Shi clan gate valve in the state can't make any big waves, but if you implement this set of policies, then all the Shi clan gate valves in the world will not support you! It is estimated that they will all stand on the opposite side of you, which will have a great impact on your later competition in the Central Plains!" Huo Qingtong thought for a while and said.
"Haha, the world's scholars and gate lords are simply tumors, these people will stand against me sooner or later, in this case, why should I care about them! Although doing so will offend them, but I will also gain the hearts of many poor people!" Xiao Yun smiled nonchalantly.
If it weren't for the fear of arousing the crusade of all the scholars in the world, he would have been prepared to nationalize the land in the future, and then redistribute the land to the poor people!
