Chapter 358 New Dynasty (1)

The sun hung scorchingly on the top of the sky, even if it was nestled in the gate of the city, it was full of sweat. But this is the case, Li Lu’er did not dare to leave his post without permission. As the guard of the city of Xudu, if you dare to **** and play slippery, it is possible to have a military baton or lose your head. Now that the war in Yuzhou is endless, here can be regarded as the front line, how can it be neglected?

What’s more, there are so many fugitive slaves outside the city.

At any rate, he was also a soldier defending the city, and Li Lüer’s news was very well-informed. Since the new emperor ascended the throne in Luoyang last year, Yuzhou has changed its appearance. I have fought several battles with the remnants of the former dynasty in the south, not to mention, recently there have been winds that encourage those who have been taken captive by the thieves to escape back to the country of Zhao.

In the past few years, the Central Plains was in great chaos. Whether it is Sizhou or Yuzhou, it is the same as ploughing. The people are displaced, and there are military disasters. How can there be the capital to survive? Either he was taken away, or he was thrown into a big family and kept as a slave.

In troubled times, there are so many poor people like this. Even Li Lu’er himself did not know how many times he changed the hills. First is the King of East China Sea, and then General Gou. Flying Leopard King Mi attacked, and the commanders hurriedly surrendered. Not long after, they turned to the stone thief. Today, the officers above have changed a few rounds, but he survived, and settled in the new dynasty. Only then did I see such a sight.

As long as the people return to the State of Zhao, they can make a home in Sizhou and even the neighboring Yuzhou and Yanzhou. An adult male can get 40 acres of land, and a woman can get half of it. The tax paid is only half of the previous dynasty! If you are poor and have no longs, you can also enter the military garrison, and the state government will provide grain and farming tools. The harvest is divided into four or six quarters with the government. As long as you have cultivated in Juntun for five years, you can get 20 acres of Yongye field! This Yongyetian can be passed down to descendants!

An Anmin order came down, and there was an immediate crowd around Xudu. After fighting a few battles, Da Zhao drove the soldiers of the Jin State to Runan. Maybe after a while, the land north of Huai Shui will be pure land! The emperor of the great Zhao, but also known as the son of Buddha, has always loved the people, and is the destiny of heaven. Attaching to the State of Zhao, wouldn’t it be far better than the previous dynasty?

Among other things, at least this grant to Tian Jianfu is far better than the countless officials and bandits that have ravaged before!

In his early years, Li Lu’er was also a mud leg that was eaten in the soil, how can he not know the meaning of this order? Seeing the sensational heads, I don’t know how many of them are the people who are being held hostage, and how many of them are the hermits who escaped from the hands of the Yuzhou masters. If you can live in peace, maybe you can reproduce the scene of Taikang… No, it should be an enlightened scene now!

Seeing the officials not far away, they kept setting up the people. This hot sun is not so difficult to endure. Li Lu’er wiped the sweat from his forehead, holding a wooden spear, standing still in front of the city.

Such a scene is not limited to Xuchang. From Yanzhou, where half of the wall was hit, to Yongzhou, where the thieves were still in the hands, the flow of people began to reverse. The land of the Central Plains, decayed by the flames of war, finally had vitality and population. Among them, the most dynamic is naturally the national capital of Zhao State, Luoyang.

Since ancient times, only Chang’an and Luoyang can bear the word “king city”. Chang’an is bordered by the Wei River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south. It is surrounded by eight waters and sits on the fertile fields of Guanzhong. As long as you occupy this place, you will choke off the main points of things and overlook the world. In Luoyang, although there is the danger of the Yellow River and the capital of eight passes, the Central Plains is the place of the four wars. The chaos in Sizhou and Yuzhou is hard to stop, and there are few people. Setting Luoyang as the capital in troubled times seemed more like an expedient that had to be done.

Quite a few people with unpredictable minds are looking forward to the defeat of the thief who claims to be the emperor. Unexpectedly, it was only a year before the capital was regained its brilliance.

At the Mengjin Ferry, the masts are densely packed, and the sledges are one after another. Large and small ships came in groups along the river. The hard work of tens of thousands of refugees finally allowed the main trunk of the North Land to be connected. From Jizhou Xingang all the way to the west, you can go straight to Luoyang by boat!

On the Qianjin Hou, several huge water turrets are driven by the river day and night. Not only grinding rice and flour, but also making pulp and smelting iron. There are many workshops on both sides of the river. The output is like flowing water, so that all the caravans that come to Luoyang can return with a full load.

The unobstructed trade routes have brought money and popularity. But the lifeblood of the country is not in business.

“…Since the first month of the first month, there have been more than 87,000 new attachments in Henan and Yanzhou. Among them, there are no less than 30,000 fugitives from Yongzhou. If there are more than one attached, millions of hectares will be added next year! ”

Next to the Shigan Hall, there is a new hall called “Chang Gong”. For the new emperor to deal with government affairs on weekdays, summon the courts. In the hanging arch hall, Duan Qin Kankan said that the new noble Shang Shu Ling said.

This number is quite staggering. You know, now Yanzhou is only a preliminary decision, and the war in Yuzhou has not ceased. Such a “dangerous place” is not a place where the people of Qianshou are willing to go. It happened to be a keynote, and it changed the situation of being stretched.

The new emperor has an order and decrees to Anmin!

Taxes will be reduced, the land will be averaged, and the village system will be changed. For a country, the most important thing is always people. After several massacres in the Central Plains, the people were displaced. The farmland was deserted and the village was dead. If you want to reinforce the foundation of the country, the only way to restore the cultivated land is to restore the national taxation. And this requires population, a large number of people!

Therefore, Anmin’s order to equalize the land became the first established political affair after the new emperor ascended the throne. Although the acres allocated to the people seemed to be less than the previous dynasty’s land occupation orders. But the taxes that need to be paid have also been cut by more than half, which reduces the pressure on the contrary. In addition, nowadays, there are more migrants and prisoners, and there are fewer servitudes. In this way, is it not what people want?

Not to mention the people who were encumbered by the Jin army or the Huns, even in the aristocratic families that survived in Henan and Yanzhou, many hermit servants fled, reorganized their households, and became citizens.

As long as the government does not criticize the people, who doesn’t want to be upright and be a good family? And this also solved the emptiness of the Central Plains. A large amount of unowned wasteland was redistributed, and those families who fled to the south have lost countless acres.

However, such good news was not appreciated. Above the throne, the emperor’s eyebrows frowned slightly: “Are the forts in Yuzhou still occupying land?”

The emperor is now more than thirty, but he has not grown a beard. The jaws are smooth, the eyebrows are handsome, and he looks extremely young. But when he spoke, no one dared to take it lightly. Those dark eyes, sharp and deep, penetrate people’s hearts. The sky is mighty, can’t be looked at, on the contrary, people forget his appearance.

Duan Qin’s voice paused: “His Majesty, someone secretly invaded the field. It’s just that Yuzhou’s canine teeth crossed, and it will take time to cure it…”

If Yongzhou is still in the opponent’s hand, there will be 30,000 fugitives. In comparison, the new population in Yuzhou is too small. The fundamental reason lies in the countless Wubao in the territory. Those wealthy families who live together in fortresses can survive the turbulence for more than a decade, relying on their ability to fight! Almost every family has thousands of soldiers, more than tens of thousands, enough to form an army! Those big clans, to say nothing, have four or five Wubao, and tens of thousands of customers. Strong soldiers and strong horses, and cunning. Even Shilena and other fierce generals can only make them surrender, unable to attack them all.

Now that the State of Zhao has occupied several counties in Yuzhou, those Wubaos have become trouble for his own family. Because of the merits of suppressing bandits, many people also rewarded officials, which made Yuzhou a mud pit where there is nowhere to go.

Now that a large number of people are attached, how can these tycoons in troubled times be indifferent. Yuzhou doesn’t seem to be pulled and beaten by Liang Feng, sifted through Bingzhou. It is precisely because of this that after the founding of the country, Henan Yin Zuti was promoted to the post of Yuzhou governor and followed the army to clean up the situation.

Liang Feng naturally also knows the key points. Wrestling with aristocratic families is also one of the major problems he has to face.

Beginning in the Eastern Han Dynasty, aristocratic families emerged, and the power of the court was broken down one by one and left to swallow. It wasn’t until the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third public rebelled and completely smashed the world. “Guo Heng perishes by weakness, but Han Dynasty perishes by strength.” This is a good thing to say, but in essence it is just the erosion of the central government. The local separatism reached its peak and eventually fell.

Cao Wei couldn’t clean up this mess, and Sima was blindly indulging. Today, it is simply a mess. If this behemoth of the aristocratic family is not handled properly, it will immediately cause civil unrest and it will be difficult to deal with it. Let alone conquer by force, even a slight damage to the interests may lead to a rebound.

Jun Tian Ling was one of them, and it was not so easy for those aristocrats to swallow it obediently.

It’s just that it’s not easy, we have to do it.

“They have swallowed enough, they still don’t know enough?” Liang Feng said with a cold snort, “Let the ancestors increase the manpower and spread the decree. Without the dealer, no matter how much land is occupied, it is no use. If there is reckless will, Check if they have anything to do with the Xiongnu or the Sima clan.”

Even if there is commercial trade to feed such a large population, what is still needed is an extremely abundant grain output. If the population of the Central Plains cannot be restored as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous if natural disasters occur. After the nation was founded, many families were still retreating in the south. If you don’t take this opportunity to speed up the progress, it will be more troublesome in a few years.

The last sentence is absolutely murderous.

On the side, Xi Jian immediately said: “Yuzhou has been in chaos for several years, and there are no longer a few at both ends of the rat’s head. Now the army is out, rushing to do it for fear of accidents.”

Although Yuzhou fought several battles, it was not a strategic point. Youzhou, thousands of miles away, is the key. Duanbu didn’t mean to submit at all, and Pingzhou Cui Yan also insisted on adhering to the Southern Dynasty as Zhengshuo. Cui Yi is closely related to the Qinghe Cui family. If a wealthy clan like Qinghe Cui is in trouble, Jizhou will also have trouble. Therefore, after the harvest in the summer, 40,000 armies moved together to attack Youzhou together with the Tuoba Tribe and Murong Tribe. Aims to wipe out the remnants in one fell swoop, and calm northern Xinjiang.

This battle was particularly critical, and even the chariot general Yi Yan led troops out. If the Yuzhou family took the opportunity to make trouble, it would cause big trouble.

Before Xi Jian’s words fell, the Zhongshu ordered Zhang Bin to take a step forward: “What Xi Shizhong said is not bad. Things in Yuzhou are complicated, and you should be Xu Xu. The ancestors are loyal to the king and never slack. You might as well order him to write the book and do it again. intend.”

This advance statement is not so much an agreement, as it is a guarantee for Xi Jian’s words. Xi Jian also came from a noble family. How could Zhang Bin not know the emperor’s attitude towards Gaomen? The pressure of the Northern Expedition was not small, and someone went out again. If the emperor is stubborn in anger, it will be troublesome.

Liang Feng glanced at Zhang Bin, and finally nodded: “Never mind. For the time being, Yuzhou will focus on Fumin.”

Zu Ti was originally a good strategist, and Xinling assisted him, so he could boil the frog in warm water temporarily. Wait until Youzhou is attached, and then free your hands to clean up the mess.

Seeing that the advice was effective, everyone was relieved and continued to report other matters. It’s just been over after another busy hour.

The ministers retired, and Liang Feng left Zhang Bin alone. Among the three provinces today, Zhongshu Province is the most relied upon by the emperor. Zhang Bin’s Zhongshu Ling is also a holy family. However, Zhang Mengsun was the confidant of His Majesty when he was buried in the mansion, so although others were jealous, they did not dare to say anything.

In the huge hanging arch hall, there were only two monarchs and ministers left. After tapping his finger twice on the case table, Liang Feng suddenly said: “It can be ascertained how many people in the dynasty have connected with the Yuzhou clans?”
