Chapter Twenty-Three: No Food, No War, No Lord

Thanks to Sky_ for the headshot, Li Yulong D book friend for the reward......

The so-called farming war means that there is no food unless it is cultivated, and it is not possible to be knighted if it is not a military achievement. Concentrate the power of a qiē on the cultivation war.

"Will the prince really do this?" Several elders were a little uncertain, thinking carefully, it seemed that the prince just now did not have such a tone!

"The prince doesn't have this mind now, the more so. Ari, this is your way to get in......"

"Master of the family, do you mean to let Ali propose this to the prince......? It will offend many people......" Several elders panicked.

Sen Sen, the head of the Yuan family, smiled: "Do you think that the founding hero is so easy to be? If you can't be the third duke, you can be named a liehou, and pass it on to your descendants, you are the founding hero, and it doesn't mean anything......

But you only need to make this proposal to this son. My Yuan family is behind to help carry it out, and Ah Li, you will be able to enter the core of the shogunate of the prince in one fell swoop. In the future, I will have the opportunity to be in the new dynasty as a minister!"

These words shocked everyone.

It is really necessary to practice the strategy of ploughing and warfare, and if it is not successful, it is necessary to implement the system of tuntian. Even if you don't work in the fields, in short, the land must be concentrated in the hands of the shogunate.

Originally, Chengzhou suddenly vacated so much open space, and all the powerful clans were eyeing each other. Self-sustaining has made a lot of contributions to Fan Yi's entry into the state, and they all want to take advantage of the opportunity to annex the land.

If you put forward the strategy of farming and warfare, this is to offend all the families in Chengzhou!

Yuan Li was silent for a while, and then resolutely said, "Family master, I know!"

Drums don't need to be hammered. Now that he has said this, Yuan Li has already understood. The head of the Yuan family didn't say much. In order to prosper in the next hundred years after the original price, it is to offend some people. I can't control it!

In this world, where there are only those who want to harvest. The reason for not wanting to pay? It's just that how to do it, this kind of thing, you have to slowly discuss the details in the future.

In short, this time the Yuan family is very optimistic about that prince and is willing to gamble!

As long as you succeed, you can enter the core of the new dynasty and be knighted and marquis. The Yuan family in Chengzhou in the future will not only be a prominent family in a state, but will become a real famous family in the world.

That's it. Take a good gamble too!

It was getting late, and the sound of drums was heard throughout the city. Everywhere the doors are closed. It was time for the curfew.

A simple dinner, washed up. Fan Yi came to the official hall at this time, and his staff were busy working. Seeing Fan Yilai, they saluted one after another.

Fan Yi smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, you can't rest so late!"

These are the most fortunate figures in the Fan Yi shogunate. At this moment, they all smiled: "The world has not rested yet, and it is hard for me to wait for it!"

When Fan Yi saw it, he was very satisfied. All the people in his shogunate were not very old. Most of them are young and handsome people who he has cultivated or recruited. Zhai Leng, who is the oldest, is only in his early forties. However, now he has become a high-ranking official of the Tiance Mansion.

And the youngest Lu Feng is only a few years older than Fan Yi. But it is Fan Yi's main thin.

Therefore, while tired. However, now that he is young, he has the opportunity to let go of the land of a state. All of them were excited.

Zhai Leng said in a deep voice: "Shizi, the situation in Chengzhou is not good. At that time, there was no empty road. Killing on a large scale. The officials in the local government offices do not know how many they have killed. Later, there was no addition...... It is equivalent to the fact that the officials of this state are almost empty!"

So to speak. Everyone was a little worried. In the shogunate, no matter how good the decree is, how can it be implemented without the implementation of the local government?

Originally, I thought that after conquering Chengzhou, I would be able to inherit the local official temple organization, but after cleaning it, it can be used. Now it seems that it is not that simple.

"It doesn't matter......" Fan Yi listened, and just smiled slightly: "It's best if there is no local original government, and it's easy to paint on a blank piece of paper." I'm afraid that the original officials will be uneven!"

"That's it. Fortunately, we are not fighting the world with our bare hands, the prince has already sent people to mobilize officials from Chu County and Jiangzuo to enter Chengzhou......" Zhai Leng said with a sigh.

When this was said, everyone smiled bitterly, although what Fan Yi said was true. But far water does not quench the thirst of the near.

Officials were mobilized from Jiangzuo and other places to establish local government offices. It's not a local, and it takes at least two or three years to adapt to it. This can be initially straightened out, and during this period, the orders of the Tiance Mansion cannot be carried out at all unless the army is used.

"It won't take so long," Fan Yi calculated, "It's just that some officials are mobilized from Jiangzuo, and some of them are promoted from this Chengzhou local......"

Although they said this, everyone was not reassured, but their faces became more serious.

The purpose of the policy set by Fan Yi is to divide the fields into households. These definitely touch the interests of the local wealthy and powerful.

Although it is said that these wealthy clans killed a lot when there was no empty road. Now the power is very weak, but at this time, it must be greedy and wide-mouthed, ready to wantonly swallow the fields and restore their strength.

Therefore, the local people of Chengzhou were used as officials. If you can't say this, you have to collude up and down, but instead set up the shogunate. At the very least, it will conflict with the policy......

In Fan Yi's view, the Han and Tang dynasties still had the legacy of classical militarism, or the national strength was not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But when it comes to mobilization, and warfare. But it is far beyond the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the so-called imperial power did not go to the countryside. The imperial court's control of the people and its ability to mobilize are quite limited.

Therefore, whether it is the grasp of social wealth or the grasp of human resources, it is very rough.

However, this way of managing from the grassroots to the villages, although it increases the cost of management. But for this financial resources, the control of manpower is several times higher.

This is also one of the most important reasons why in another world, all dynasties have perished with weakness, and the only Han has perished with strength.

It is also the reason why Tang has a strong army and a weak army.

Although said. In the future, the world will be peaceful and business will develop. It will impact the solid agricultural social structure in the future, so that this grassroots organizational power. Weakened with it.

But when it is placed in this competition for the world, this township pavilion, the government soldiers. The two systems, when superimposed on each other, can exert an incredibly huge force. It is the supreme magic weapon to compete for the world!

Fan Yi knows very well that from the experience of another world. Every powerful and unified dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years has innovated its system and eliminated the ills of its predecessors. This can have a destiny for hundreds of years.

According to the previous system, there were no heavy and innovative dynasties, and almost all of them were very short-lived.

This can also be seen as the reason why every dynasty that seeks to usurp the throne has a very short state. From a practical institutional point of view, not from a occult point of view.

That is, the dynasty that sought to usurp the throne inherited too many shortcomings of the previous dynasty's system. And those who fight the world by themselves always make up for these shortcomings and defects, intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if the Fan family wins the world in the future, although it doesn't sound good. But there must also be an irony of plotting to usurp the throne......

Therefore. Fan Yi definitely didn't want his dynasty to die.

For Fan Yi, the deity wants to step on the throne of God. It's not that the world is finished, it takes at least two or three hundred years of strong and prosperous dynasties to gather humanity and might. to be able to complete.

Needless to say, what impressed Fan Yi the most was the lack of troops.

The whole great court. The land of Kyushu, with a population of tens of millions. Standing Forces. There are only tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Los Angeles......

And Dayu Taizu spared no effort to implement the policy of strong cadres and weak branches, and dismissed the soldiers of the province and the county. Let's get on the ground. There is not even a standing army at all......

Therefore, once the Qingyang Sect was in turmoil. The imperial court lacked heavy troops and quickly put out the rebellion.

However, this cannot be said that Dayu Taizu made a mistake, in fact, because Dayu raised enough soldiers and horses. The burden of military spending on the imperial court is light, which is why it has a great deal of money for 500 years.

In fact, the productive forces of society have not developed to a certain extent. In a classical agrarian society, there was simply no way to raise a standing army on a large scale for a long time. It is the same in both China and abroad.

It was raised in the Song Dynasty and raised in the Qing Dynasty.

In other dynasties, almost all of them were militias that were half-peasants and half-soldiers......

Whether it is the state and county soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, or the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, or the guard system of the Ming Dynasty. It's all the same.

Therefore, in this state, the population is less than 3 million, and all parts of the country are in ruins. Fan Yi never thought about raising a professional army.

And combined with the township pavilion system, and the government soldier system. A semi-professional army that can directly mobilize people from the bottom of society is Fan Yi's best choice.

These considerations have long been in Fan Yi's heart, and I don't know how many times they have been turned.

However, the restoration of the local government is only the first step. Although there are difficulties, Fan Yi already has a package of step-by-step solutions.

At this time, let these subordinates discuss. It's just a matter of brainstorming and finding the sparkle in everyone's ideas to refine their own plans.

Seeing this, Fan Yi finally spoke up and said, "Actually, there is a way. Among the imperial court pavilions, the most important ones are Li Zheng, the three elders, the pavilion chief, the thief, and even some pavilion soldiers...... It's just some unruly little officials......"

It's another world, and it's also average. The village chief is really not a cadre...... If there is no establishment, it will not be included in the system...... It is only at the township level that it can be regarded as a formal establishment.

And the pavilion is such an organization, people who don't know, think that this pavilion is the superior organization in the village, the subordinate organization of the township, but no one has thought about the so-called ten miles and one pavilion, ten pavilions and one township. So how big should the township be?

In fact, the kiosk was originally in charge of public security, and it was a lodging for travelers. A complex similar to a police station and a post station. And the township is the direct jurisdiction of the li.

Saying all this is just to illustrate, these are just small officials who are not in the stream.

Therefore, Fan Yicai said: "Such a small official, can there be retired veterans in our army to do it...... In fact, many small officials in the township or county temples can also be done by veterans like me......"

As soon as these words came out, his head turned very quickly, and his face showed joy.

In this way, it is necessary to firmly grasp the grassroots organization personnel in their hands. Moreover, retired veterans have a place to go, which improves the morale and combat effectiveness of the army. It's also a matter of obviousness.

Fan Yi's 20,000 soldiers and horses under his headquarters, as well as the soldiers and horses led by Shen Tuhu. It's all elite. Naturally, it is impossible to release it.

However, the 70,000 or 80,000 Chengzhou troops that were successively incorporated later were uneven. Although there are seventy or eighty thousand. But it would be great if Fan Yi could see it, streamline it, and be able to have half of it.

All the rest will be sand and released into place.

But these people can't just let them go. Otherwise, if there is no place to live, it will be troublesome for Xiao to gather together and become a thief.

Now. The method Fan Yi said solved a big problem.

"Shizi, there are many barren fields now. These soldiers of Shatai can distribute the fields and let them cultivate ......" Zhai Lengti said: "In this way, not only do you not worry, but these soldiers will become bandits. It also adds tens of thousands of Dingkou ...... for the imperial court."

"But in this way, will it offend the local wealthy family?" Zhou An asked.

Zhou An was the rafter of the shogunate, and he was a well-known celebrity in the world. That's why. He is a native of Chengzhou, but he has already been an official in the imperial court.

This time to attack Chengzhou, Fan Yi specially transferred his people into the shogunate. By virtue of his identity, he can better win over the people of Chengzhou.

Hear this. A cold light flashed in Fan Yi's eyes, but he remained silent, but his tone was a little cold: "General Ben." For the well-being of the people of the world. I came to save the people of Chengzhou, but I didn't come specifically to benefit the powerful clan!"

This week Ann was taken aback. A cold sweat flowed down her face. hurriedly bowed: "The subordinates are ignorant, the son of the world is not strange!"

Although these powerful clans in Chengzhou helped Fan Yi a lot. In the future, it will be inseparable from the assistance to better rule Chengzhou.

Therefore, Fan Yi allows them to achieve benefits within a certain range. That's a reward...... A boss who is too stingy is something that no one wants to follow......

However, if these guys are too greedy and exceed the limit, it will hinder his great cause. Then Fan Yi doesn't mind, kill a few chickens and show them to the monkeys.

However, these families who were able to survive the Voidless Rebellion all have some vision and insight, so they can't be so stupid, right?

These powerful families must not be indulged. There is no other world, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favorite thing to do is to fight the Xiongnu and fight Haoqiang.

Even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination system was sacrificed to dig the foundation of the strong.

However, in this world, the imperial examination system is not feasible. Fan Yi hadn't thought about it for a while. At the very least, this powerful clan has not yet reached the point where it is like the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the powerful tail cannot be lost......

These need to be considered later. Now, although he reprimanded Zhou An, he also shook his head at what Zhai Leng said: "What Zhai Jun said is inappropriate!"

Everyone was stunned, originally thinking that Fan Yi reprimanded Zhou An, so they were naturally satisfied with Zhai Leng's methods, but they didn't expect that Fan Yi was also dissatisfied with Zhai Leng's methods.

"Could it be that the prince of the world is preparing to practice the system of the tuntian?" Wang Jia suddenly asked.

For a moment, there was silence in the chamber. Tuntian system...... At this moment, I will offend most of the powerful landlords.

Tuntian, however, had to put most of the land in the hands of the shogunate.

However, then many of the staff members became excited.

After all, all are still young. has a sharp spirit, not the kind of age that is dull and has too many scruples. In addition, Fan Yi intends to promote poor scholars, and half of this shogunate is from a poor family.

It's like another world, and those poor dicks like to see the most are even rich and handsome. The same is true of human feelings, these poor scholars naturally do not have the slightest good impression of the scholars and scholars. Hearing this, they were all excited.

"Not bad, not bad. It's still good to have a military tun. Chengzhou is enough to eat enough soldiers and sweep the world......"

"The son of the world has a wonderful plan, for the great cause of the world. What is the ...... for offending a few local tyrants?"

In the midst of these discussions, Fan Yi smiled. In addition to institutional reasons, the usurping dynasty was too short-lived. Another very important reason is the issue of origin.

is also from the powerful landlord class, and it is easy to do things because of their own relationships. Prefer to be strong with the landlords, and forget the people of the world.

Moreover, because of the usurpation of the throne, in order to get the consent of those noble clans who have the right to speak, they will not dare to make various policies that are detrimental to the interests of these powerful clans. Even when formulating policies, the interests of these wealthy families are the first thing to consider......

Be bold. After all, there are not many people who use knives on their own bodies.

And Fan Yi. But there is absolutely yes! If one day, these wealthy people stand in the way of their own family. What can everyone do if they kill all these giants?

Fan Yi said lightly: "That's right, but what General Ben is doing is called the government soldier system......

"What do you mean by a soldier?" everyone was stunned, they hadn't heard of it at all.

"The so-called government soldiers are the progress of the tuntian system. Soldiers and peasants are one. In peacetime, the government soldiers were farmers who cultivated the land, trained in agricultural gaps, and fought in the army in wartime. Fan Yi said lightly.

These staff members are all outstanding people, and they don't need Fan Yi to say it too clearly, they have already reacted. Why let those people willingly farm for you and help you fight......

"Could it be that the prince is preparing to divide the fields......" Lu Feng shouted.

"That's right. Whoever receives my land is my soldier. Fan Yi said lightly. This is where there are rights and obligations.

Those who did not accept the fields given by him Fan Yi did not need to undertake military service. But those who accept Fan Yi's land will become a government soldier, and they have the obligation to give him Fan Yi to fight with his life.

Otherwise, take back the land that was given.

This is somewhat different from the government soldiers of the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were universal, and the people of the world were given land. All are obliged to perform military service.

And Fan Yi's is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty's guard system. That is, it is divided into military and civilian. Only military status goes to war......

Then, Fan Yi said again: "Anyone who is a soldier of the government is exempt from paying taxes......"

As soon as these words were said, these staff members were in a sensation. And so it goes. Those who gave the soldiers the land to plant, and exempted them from taxes. Doesn't it mean that these government soldiers must be willing to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths in return?

You don't repay. It's simple, just take back the field......

This is the biggest difference from the guards. That is, the military status does not pay taxes. It is not under the direct jurisdiction of the military generals.

It's not like the Ming Dynasty, where the soldiers and horses of the guards have become serfs in the generals' families......

Such a system. At this time, it will definitely be able to exert great combat effectiveness. Although in the future, with the passage of time, it may also be corrupted. After all, there is no such thing as a perfect system that you can adapt to all the time.

However, as long as we ensure strong combat effectiveness for 30 to 50 years, we will not only be able to dominate the world. It is enough to ensure that in the early days of the founding of the country, it had a strong military force, conquered the south and the north, and expanded the territory...... Just like the early Tang Dynasty......

Fan Yi even prepared to release most of his more than 100,000 soldiers and horses after giving them land.

On the one hand, he awarded land according to military merits, and granted a large number of acres of land to his army in Chengdu.

All soldiers can know that they belong to the state and county, and they can reclaim the land and register the account, and they will be the same as the people. In case of wartime, they are immediately conscripted into the army and fight. Those who should not be recruited will directly recover the land.

These ordinary soldiers have as much as 20 acres of land for one person. Once there is a meritorious decapitation, the acres of land will be doubled.

There are definitely a lot of such fields, enough for the soldiers who are desperate for the sake of the fields.

If it is not recruited, the land and property will be confiscated. And in the case of military merits, there is a situation where the land is given.

It can be said that no one dared to evade military service. It can even be said that in order to protect these fields, they will disregard a qiē and burst out with the greatest strength. and the greatest loyalty to Fan Yi.

After all, without Fan Yi, there would be no one to protect their interests......

This is an order issued by Fan Yi, but if you change the owner, you will definitely not recognize it!

Fan Yi even thought about distributing the acres of land to ordinary people in the next step, but these people had the obligation to send strong men to join the army in wartime. It is also necessary to practice during the slack time.

This would make it possible to further expand the number of troops.

However, this matter is not too anxious. Fortunately, the powerful households in Chengzhou were killed too much by the empty way, and the powerful forces were weakened. Fan Yicai has a large field and a vacuum of power to carry out such operations.

"However, the most important thing now is to find out how much barren land there is in Chengzhou!"

Fan Yi said, and everyone nodded. After saying this, I came back to square one.

If you want to find out the situation of barren land and cultivated land, then you must establish grassroots government organizations such as Lizheng Township Pavilion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for you. Please work harder and come up with a concrete plan!"

"Yes, the subordinates and so on, they will never dare to slack off!"

In the eleventh year of Changping, Fan Yi was named the state pastor of Chengzhou and made the festival.

Soon after, news came that Emperor Changping was frightened that day and fell ill shortly after his return. He lay in a hospital bed for more than a month and eventually died.

The general Fan Zhen was two years old when he was two years old when Emperor Changping had no children and Qiwen, the grandson of Hou Qisheng of Lifeng Lingting.

Qi Sheng was killed that year, and there was a son who was protected by Situ at that time. The son of Qi Sheng, who was only three years old at the time, has now become his own son. This Qi Wen is Qi Sheng's own grandson. (To be continued......)
