Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 235 Strategy
Gu Yu was winked by Han Qi and said nothing but watched Han Qi follow An Lehou back to the tent.

Gu Yu found it very strange that An Lehou seemed to dislike them being around for protection.Do you think their martial arts are too bad?
Gu Yu thought so too, An Lehou's martial arts are much stronger than theirs.In case of danger, if they are not guaranteed, they have to be rescued by An Lehou.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Yu also understood An Lehou in his heart.But their duty is to protect An Lehou, and they must fulfill their duty, otherwise their prince will not spare them lightly.

After Jing Yi returned to her tent, she tidied up, and just after changing her clothes, someone came to invite her to have dinner with Shao Yichen.Shao Yichen had something to discuss with her.

Jing Yi took Han Qi to Shao Yichen's camp.

Now Shao Yichen and the others are stationed at the place where the White Tiger Army is stationed at Yecheng, a city in the Xiyan Kingdom that was captured before.

Although the White Tiger Army occupied Yecheng and took over the defense of Yecheng, the army was not stationed in the city, but outside the city, which was suggested by Jing Yi.Try not to disturb the lives of ordinary people in the city.

Moreover, Jing Yi suggested that the White Tiger Army should not attack the common people every time they occupied a city, but those rich men could not let them go.The White Tiger Army may not harm their families, but their property must be confiscated.

After all, there are many ordinary people in a city, but there are still a few rich people.This will not arouse the resistance of the people.Moreover, the city they occupied is likely to be owned by the Jin State in the future, and the people in the city will also be the people of the Jin State in the future.This is conducive to the smooth transition after the war.

When Jing Yi came to Shao Yichen's tent, the food had already been set up inside.

Seeing their hero coming, Shao Yichen stood up and waved, "Jing Yan, come quickly, it's time to eat."

Apart from Shao Yichen, there was only military advisor Tian Wentao in the camp, and Tian Wentao stood up to greet Jing Yi.

At a square table, Tian Wentao sat opposite to Shao Yichen, and Jing Yi had to sit next to Shao Yichen.

As soon as Jing Yi sat down, Shao Yichen put some dishes in Jing Yi's bowl, "Jing Yan, you've been in the mountains all day, so you're tired, eat quickly. Let's chat while eating."

We are all informal people, and there is no rule of refraining from speaking.

Jing Yi was really hungry, so she picked up the bowl and ate.

After everyone had finished eating, Shao Yichen said: "Jing Yan, the advice you gave at the beginning was very good, because we occupied a few cities and did not harass the ordinary people in the city, so the people in the city are not very resistant to us.

Also, you don't know, we have gained a lot by confiscating the property of the rich in the three cities, not only food, but also a lot of gold and silver treasures.Most of the wealth in these cities is occupied by these rich people, no wonder the people in these cities seem to be relatively poor.

Most of the land around the three cities we occupied is in the hands of some local rich and powerful families, and there are very few fields in the hands of ordinary people.Most of the residents outside the city are tenant farmers of these rich people. "

Tian Wentao, who was next to him, said: "The time between us occupying these three cities was very short, and the Xiyan army was defeated very suddenly, so the rich and powerful families in these three cities did not have time to transfer their property and family members. Almost all their property fell into the in our hands.

Moreover, we have strictly restrained the soldiers below, and have committed no crimes to ordinary people. Whoever provides information will be rewarded, so although the people in these cities have some resistance to our occupation, it is not very serious. "

Jing Yi said: "Ordinary people don't care about who governs them. They only care about whether they can live a good life and whether they can have enough food. The rich and powerful families in these places control most of the local fields, so it is quite Yu holds most of the wealth, while the local ordinary people are living a miserable life. Maybe they also hope that those rich and powerful families will be unlucky, so that there will be fewer people raiding them.

This also broke the control of the rich and powerful families on this area, which is beneficial for us to take over.

If these cities are transferred to our state of Jin after negotiations, then the next step is to promise that the common people can buy the confiscated land of those rich and powerful families at a low price, and they can also rent land from the government.

The land rent is lower than when they rented and farmed the land before, so that we will gain the support of the local people and let them submit to our Dajin willingly.At the same time, it can also improve the enthusiasm of farmers and allow them to create more value. "

Shao Yichen and Tian Wentao's eyes lit up surprisingly when they heard Jing Yi's words.

Shao Yichen said with a smile: "Jing Yan, your idea is a bottom line. What farmers care about most is the land. What the tenant farmers care about most is the land rent. You have captured what they care most about right now.

After these cities and the surrounding land are owned by our Dajin, they can live a better life. Do you think those ordinary people can become the citizens of our Dajin unwillingly?Hahaha, Jing Yan, you are really tall. "

Tian Wentao cupped his hands to Jing Yi and said, "Tian really admires An Lehou's wit. In this way, we can make these places transition smoothly without too much difficulty.

And this time we confiscated the rich people's family property and got a lot of money. The grain alone has to be several million stones, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry. "

Shao Yichen said: "Jing Yan, according to your suggestion, each city will form an action team, and a special person will be responsible for confiscating the property of those rich families, and then registering and making a record. When the time comes, all the gold, silver, jewelry and food will be transported back. Go to the capital."

Jing Yi said: "Brother Shao, those rich people will definitely have hiding places. You must be dug up. And the White Tiger Army must leave enough food and funds for itself. And the brothers can't follow you through life and death for nothing. Some rewards should be given, so that the White Tiger Army can be more cohesive and follow your example."

Shao Yichen stared at Jing Yi for a while and said, "Jing Yan, let's get married. If you don't mind, we will be brothers for life."

Shao Yichen was moved by the young man in front of him who was only thinking of him.He wants to cherish this friendship for a lifetime.He wanted to be good brothers with Chu Jingyan for the rest of his life.

Jing Yi said with a smile: "That little brother is what I wish for."

Shao Yichen laughed loudly and said, "From then on, we will be brothers."

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I also call you Big Brother? We have been brothers for a long time, haven't we?"

Jing Yi said that because she didn't want Shao Yichen to mobilize the crowd to hold a ceremony of worship.In the future, when he knows his true identity, she will feel less guilty.

Shao Yichen smiled and nodded, "Yes, we have been brothers for a long time."

Tian Wentao is also happy for his own general, it is a lifetime blessing to have such a man who is both civil and military, witty and intelligent as his brother.
