Can you live forever

Chapter 270 Liuqiu trapped dragon, Hai Rui said Tian

Luo Longwen's appearance of "talking and laughing with a feather fan and a towel" made many pirates unhappy, but you are the only one who is smart?But Xu Hai got used to Luo Longwen's attitude and knew that Luo Longwen was capable, so he was slightly optimistic about the situation on the peninsula.

Although it is ordered, there should be no doubts.

But Hong Donggang and Huang Kan still asked: "The Wang family's fleet is not weak, and we may not be able to encircle and suppress it if only our two fleets go there."

Wang Zhi has fought against the Xu family at sea for ten years. If he is really vulnerable, there will be no dregs left. How can he persist until now?In fact, Hong Donggang and Huang Kan put it in a more pleasant way. Not only did they have no way to encircle and suppress, but the outcome was two-sided.

After all, they are pirate chieftains controlled by the Xu family.

Nominally belonging to the Xu family, and accepting orders from the Xu family, but they operate independently. The pirates under his command are fierce, but they are all mobs. In the past, they fought against Wang Zhi. In fact, they were a little scared. The two don't think they can hold back Royal fleet.

"Harassment is enough, you are not allowed to encircle and suppress."

Xu Hai gave an order indifferently, and the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing the arrangements, what should the main force do?
Monk Pujing, who commanded one of the three major fleets, asked, "Fourth Master, they have all dispersed, shall we fight Luzon or Yizhou?"

Pu Jing was originally a monk at Hupao Temple. He broke the precepts in his early years and became a wine and meat monk.

Although he is a monk who broke the precepts, Pujing is extremely capable of fighting, just like Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin".

Back then when Da Fangfeng was on the Qinglong list, the masters who were squeezed out would not be re-entered in the sub-rank, and Pujing became the first in the sub-rank, winning three consecutive terms.

Although martial arts are good, Pu Jing is a demon monk.

Lu Zhishen still had Buddha nature, and he talked about loyalty, but Pujing didn't talk about these things. His fighting style was even more brutal. He was the most fierce of the three fleets under Xu Hai's command, and he would slaughter the city if he fought.

When Pu Jing asked Zhan, Xu Hai smiled and said, "That's right, Luzon is still Yizhou..."

"Let's hit Yizhou, Daliuqiu, it's a good place."

"I don't know if the king can hold back until the time comes. The turtle won't come out of the city."

"Liuqiu, Prisoner Dragon."

"It's a good place..."

Everyone didn't understand what Xu Hai was talking about, and Xu Hai didn't explain. He just let the remaining four, Xu Bin, Xu Chong, and Xu Yang, go to besiege Luzon, and he led the three major fleets straight to Yizhou.

……

The situation in Nanyang is stirring, but Annan, which has become an area "behind enemy lines", is also brewing the calm before the storm.

With 12 Southern Expeditionary Army, [-] Beijing Battalion, and [-] Guardsmen, Qiu Luan took away the most core [-] Shenji Battalion, while Zhu Wan wanted to use [-] cavalry battalions to open up land transportation channels, and the remaining The [-] soldiers of the guards are responsible for the security and rule of Annan, Champa, Chenla, and even Siam.

The site is too big.

In particular, Chenla is the most unstable, and the Lancang River is the lifeline. Therefore, nearly [-] of the [-] guards are deployed around Chenla. It was only [-], and the remaining [-] troops had to build stations along the way to maintain the logistics line that Zhu Wan led the cavalry to get through.

Hai Rui originally wanted to go to the front line, but unfortunately, he couldn't decide.

Qiongshan in Hainan belongs to the category of Guangdong. When the Guangdong capital sends troops, it needs a group of civilians accompanying the army, responsible for letters, records, account books, grain and so on.

Generally, private recruitment will not be performed.

But Hai Rui knew about the Annan War and heard about the recent turmoil in Nanyang, so he roughly calculated something and felt that this battle was very important to the court, so he signed up to join the army.

Although he has not yet won the exam, he is already a scholar.

Naturally, he couldn't be a leading soldier, so General Zhao, the governor, made him responsible for food and grass work after a thorough investigation. He went south with the army, and the battle situation changed like a storm. He had some paperwork and was able to know the movements of Qiu Luan and Zhu Wan.

After watching the army drive to Manchuka, I finally understood the whole picture of the battle.

He wanted to go to Mancijia, but General Zhao didn't agree at all, and he couldn't see Qiu Luan, Zhu Wan, and Huang Ying, because he could only stay in Annan and preside over Juntian's work in Qinghua Mansion.

seaside.

Hai Rui looked towards the east, and he knew that on the other side of the sea, directly opposite, was his hometown Qiongzhou Island. These days, he was in charge of the work of Juntian. Seeing the joy and enthusiasm of the people, Hai Rui couldn't help feeling a little lost.

When will his hometown be able to equalize the land?
Hai Rui knew that his family had a lot of land. Although his father, Hai Han, was only a peasant, he left fifty acres of fertile land, so that his widowed mother was able to raise him and support him in studying.

When Annan averaged the fields here, each person had about [-] mu.

According to this standard, more than two-thirds of his family's land is worth more than two-thirds, and ordinary people must be reluctant. After all, it is not the big landlords who suffer the most from equalizing the land. .

But for these small landlords, who have dozens of acres of land in their families, it is really heartbreaking to divide half or more of the land after equalizing the land.

But is Hai Rui in pain?
He is not in pain at all, but very happy. If Qiongzhou implements land equalization, he will be the first to distribute the land. In fact, Hai Rui in history has become poorer after becoming an official.

Not only did he not use his power for personal gain, but he tried his best to help some poor people wherever he went, and the family land in his family had already been sold out.

So much so that, on his mother's birthday, he went to cut off two or two taels of flesh, which would cause a sensation in the capital...

When he died, he didn't even have funeral money.

It was Wang Yongji and the others who chipped in to pay for Hai Rui's funeral and send the coffin back to Qiongshan.

How can such a pure person be reluctant to part with dozens of acres of land at home?He only hated that there was too little land in his family, and he couldn't share more. It was just pitiful, and the people in the world were too miserable.

"Sir! We picked a lot of coconuts, here's one for you!"

While Hai Rui was staring blankly, the children had already picked the coconuts, and handed the biggest and sweetest one to Hai Rui. A corner of the coconut had been chopped off with a sickle, and they could drink directly.

They had just visited a rural village near the sea and resolved the conflicts in the field division. After finishing these, the sun was hot, so they came to pick some coconuts to quench their thirst.

Annan, like Qiongzhou, picked some coconuts when he was thirsty, which was a custom.

"Sir, Ruan San and the others said that each village will divide [-] acres of land, and each household will share [-] acres of land. After everyone has divided the land, there will be hundreds of acres of land left in the village, but you will not allow them to divide it. If you want to leave it to the public, they will not Be convinced." (Ding Kou, adult man and woman.)
Annan has belonged to China since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and many people speak Chinese, so the language problem is not serious.

Hai Rui patted the child's head and said with a smile, "When you grow up, do you want to divide the land? Don't you have only one or two children in each family? If you have too many children, what should you do if you don't have enough land?"

"Always keep some surplus, and the fields reclaimed every year should also be counted in the public."

"Only in this way, when you grow up, you will have the land share."

"Moreover, even if the fields are divided, everyone's situation is different. Some families are weaker and poorer, and if they are unlucky, they can't even live. At this time, it is necessary to help each family. Even Those who want to help, but those who don’t have the strength.”

"Only if the public has money and food, can they help."

"Why do you say that you have been exempted from taxes for three years and you don't have to pay taxes, but you are advised to pay the public grain? When the public has grain, it is time to dig reservoirs, build dams, and open canals. Otherwise, no one will think it is wrong. It’s fair, if you don’t do this kind of thing that benefits the public, you’re equalizing the land, how can life be better?”

He took the trouble to tell the children the principle of "the world is for the public" in such a simple way that everyone can understand it.
