Chapter 404 Emperor's Heart Technique [Chapter Two]

Liangzhou, which had just experienced war, had the original order and rules of the game destroyed by war. There were less than one million people in the huge Liangzhou. Not to mention ten acres of land for each person, even if there were more, it would not be allocated. Even if Dong Hu admitted the ownership of the fields of various families, they would never be able to find so many tenants. They obviously had tax-free farming and could not be cultivated. Who would still be willing to rent 70% to 80% of the land rented by tenants? Isn’t this a waste?

If Dong Hu had no second condition, 30% of the rent would be 30%. Anyway, the land of his own has been deserted for a hundred years, so it is his own. When there are too many people, people will naturally rent their own land. But now Dong Hu directly fined the barren land, which would be fined 50% of the output of a mu of land. Who can bear this? If you can't stand it, you can only give up the ownership of the land and can only play according to the rules of the game set by Dong Hu.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Dong Hu said, "If you agree to the three conditions of this general, the fields of each family will still belong to each family. Otherwise, they will be fields under the name of this general. Except for some public places, all fields will be divided into fields again in accordance with the population for thirty years."

"Liangzhou has just experienced wars, and it is extremely difficult for the people to support soldiers. In addition to supporting one soldier every five hectares of land, this general will set aside some military farmlands. What's more... that's the matter between this general and the generals in the army, so I won't talk about this matter."

"Today I'm going to ask you all, the first thing is to cultivate, the second thing is to rebuild villages, the third thing is to have the right to own the land, and the fourth thing... The cattle and sheep in the captive camp outside the city cannot help the people through the most difficult period. We need to borrow some food from the people. In addition to giving each person free food for two sheep, the rest is to borrow one and pay back one. If we borrow as much cattle and sheep, we need to pay back as much as we borrow. This loan does not need to be guaranteed by people unless the amount of the loan exceeds half a year to eat grain."

"From this time, planting beans to harvest in autumn, it will only take half a year at most. If you borrow more than half a year, you must be protected by someone. As long as you eat grain for no more than half a year, you only need the village chiefs and village magistrates to press a handprint. But there is a rule that needs to be followed. We pity the people's poverty and suffering from war, so we will lose money and borrow money. The Hehuang Valley comes to transport grain, and there will be no loss along the way. If anyone dares to greed for the food we give to the people, cattle and sheep, we will peel his human skin alive!"

Dong Hu snorted coldly, no one dared to look up and look directly...

"Han Kai."

Han Kai, who was following Dong Sizhong, hurried forward and knelt on one knee.

"The last one will be here!"

"Your Han family has protected Longsang City for three hundred years. When we seized Yuzhong City, you were the first army to respond to the quelling rebellion. From today on, you will be the prefect of Longxi County. Four things need to be done as soon as possible. The village chief and the village chief can be chosen by the people themselves, and they will be selected every two years. The people in each county and the land situation need to be solved as soon as possible."

Han Kai did not expect that he would become the prefect of Longxi County, and his whole body was trembling.

"promise--"

The voice was sharp and sharp, and Dong Hu just smiled and waved his hand.

"Liangzhou has just experienced a war, and civil affairs must be the priority in everything. Our Huwa is willing to treat the people of Longxi well and be kind to various families. But! Please remember one thing, there is not 300,000 people in the entire Longxi County and Hanyang County!"

"Three hundred thousand people!"

"There are only 60,000 households in each household!"

"Can the sixty thousand households support ten thousand soldiers? Can they support the officials of the two counties?"

Dong Hu stood up and said solemnly: "In times of difficulty, everyone must work together to overcome difficulties. Today, the prisoners who were captured as slaves will be assigned to farm the land of the public, which is part of the salary of officials from all over the country. In any case, everyone will have to live a three-year hard life. If you want to be an official under our hands, you must be prepared to spend three-year hard life with us, otherwise, get out of Liangzhou!"

"That's all about today. You can discuss with Han Kai and Prefect Han. Within three days, this general must see someone outside the city planting beans!"

After saying that, Dong Hu came to Han Kai with a big wooden bowl and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Han is a native of Longxi County. You will do it next. The Longxi Camp will be left for you. If anyone dares to play with us, we will give it to us for the seriousness of the people!"

After hearing the "Lintao people", Han Kai's old face turned red and he patted his chest hard to ensure that.

"Don't worry, no one dares to play with our Lintao people!"

Han Kai was the garrison of Longsang City, and he was praised by the word "guardian". Like the Tuntian Wubao established by the Han Dynasty, the Han family in Longsang City was just a member of the Han Dynasty who was waiting for recruitment, and was similar to the militias in later generations.

The Han Dynasty was a military service system for the whole militia. It is said that everyone was a member of the militia, but the combat power of these soldiers was very poor, and there was almost no difference from farmer farmer. They were people who had not conducted any military training. The military Wubao established was different. The military Wubao was somewhat similar to the military Wubao, but they were different from the military Wubao. Instead, they were more like military soldiers. However, the military soldiers were supported by several families, and the imperial court provided swords, weapons, arrows, and military sounds.

The Wubao in the Tuntian period is a quasi-militarized existence. Usually, it is only set up in large quantities when it is close to places that are prone to rebellion. For example, Sanbai Wubao in Changshan County, Jizhou, Youfufeng, and Longyou Wubao are mostly established in places close to chaotic. This kind of quasi-militarized Wubao is also a guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers, which is much stronger than the farmers who have not undergone any militarized training.

Longsang City is a hundred miles away from Lintao. It is the Qin Great Wall fortress sandwiched between Lintao and Didao. Didao is the most important city in the western section of Qin Great Wall and the Great Wall hub of the western section. Even though Longsang City still retains its original strategic value, it is still affiliated with Didao, not affiliated with Lintao. However, Dong Hu said that Han Kai is from the Lintao family. How could Han Kai, who has lived for half his life, not ecstatic? How could Liangzhou people not know the status of Lintao people in Dongbuyi's army?

First there was the Lintao Group, then the Liangzhou Group, then the Yellow Turban Army Group, and finally the Bingzhou Group. In Dong Hu's military and political system, the Lintao Group has an absolute advantage and has become a member of the Lintao Group. For Han Kai, that is the guarantee of glory and wealth!

Dong Hu explained some things to Han Kai, and then brought a group of generals back to the inner house. If hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Didao or Ji County, the matter would be extremely simple. It would be just to copy Pingcheng's approach. But he did not want to copy the practices of Bingzhou in Liangzhou. The main reason was that there was a great enemy of Xianbei to deal with in Pingcheng. The Xianbei and Wuhuan people themselves were a branch of the Donghu. If they could not stand firm in the grassland, they could completely retreat to their hometown in Liaodong and Liaoxi. It would be basically impossible to kill them all, or it would be impossible to kill them within thirty or fifty years.

Bingzhou has a major threat, so it must always maintain a strong and efficient military group. However, Liangzhou has no external enemies for the time being. If there is one, it will only be the Liangzhou people themselves. But as long as the people are appeased and most of them are well-fed and well-dressed, as long as Dong Hu is not dead, and as long as Dongbuyi never splits and fights, there will be no more turmoil in Liangzhou within 20 years. Let the Han people spread out to give birth to a large number of people, which is more important to the future stability of Liangzhou.

A group of generals followed Dong Hu, and only one of the real confidants, Dong Chong was left. After coming to the study in public, he sat down one by one, Dong Chong took the lead in speaking, mainly because he was worried about the "domestic soldiers" that had been a quarter of an hour ago.

"Brother, it is indeed a good thing to support a soldier with 500 acres of people, but in this way, we can't support so many soldiers."

Dong Hu nodded silently and said, "Each household has five people, each household has fifty acres of land, which means ten families can only support one soldier. Even if there are two million people in Bingzhou and Liangzhou, we can only support 40,000 soldiers. But we have more than 100,000 soldiers. It is indeed a bit inappropriate, at least it is inappropriate right now."

The generals nodded silently. There were 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses in just one Danhan Mountain. Dong Chi and Liu Qi also had 20,000 cavalry on the grasslands of the northern desert. There were 10,000 cavalry in the four counties of Hexi. This time, when entering Longxi, there were 60,000 infantry and cavalry in Hanyang County, and there were 10,000 cavalry in the Hehuang Valley. There were 130,000 infantry and cavalry in Taiyuan County, and 15,000 infantry and cavalry who ran to Luoyang. In this way, there were 200,000 infantry and cavalry. According to Dong Hu's support for soldiers, he could provide up to 40,000 soldiers and horses.

Seeing all the generals frowning, Dong Hu sighed softly.

"Do you think... why did Huangfu Song suddenly withdraw from Shangqi County? Is it because Huangfu Song is afraid of us?"

The generals were stunned. They had no way to learn more information yet. Moreover, they had just defeated more than 100,000 people, and the bastards who had run away had not yet caught them. They had no energy to think about this problem for a while. Even Pang De, who had just bowed his head and surrendered, looked puzzled.

"Huangfu Song cannot retreat easily, which will threaten the three servants of Chang'an... No matter how we shouted that we were loyal to the world, the court could not really feel at ease with us, and we were worried that we were another powerful Xiongnu and another powerful Liangzhou Qianghu."

"So, Huangfu Song could not easily withdraw from Shangqiu County. Instead, taking the opportunity to occupy Ji County was the normal choice. But he retreated with tens of thousands of Han soldiers, which made him give up the only reason to seize Ji County... That is, there was a major change in the court, and the only thing that could cause such a major change in the court was the emperor's death."

The generals suddenly sat upright. They finally realized something, and Dong Chong looked even more solemn.

"Brother is right. Once the emperor dies of illness, the court will inevitably undergo major changes due to internal and external court struggles!"

Dong Hu smiled bitterly and said, "If the emperor had determined the ownership of the prince early and strengthened the authority of the general He Jin, there might not have been much change. The fact is that the emperor did not establish the prince, and the military captain of the eighth camp in Xiyuan was the Central Military Service Jian Shuo..."

"Of course, if we were the emperor, we might also do this, not because we were close to the eunuchs in the inner court, but because of the emperor's mind, it was a kind of official balance technique. We cannot make the outer court too strong, nor can the inner court be too unscrupulous. The inner court is balanced, and after Shi Hou ascended the throne, he will not become a puppet clay sculpture and his life will be preserved."
