The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 347 There are no idle fields in the sea, and the farmers are still starving to death

Li Yunze originally thought that Wang Chongrong was a small person and could be resolved in just one battle.

However, what surprised him was that Wang Chongrong was actually a very decisive person.

Knowing that Li Yunze had brought soldiers and horses to kill him, Wang Chongrong, who was burning with anger, immediately went up against the crime, mobilized his soldiers and gave up the Hezhong Mansion in a mighty manner, and turned north to Jindi.

Others don't know, but he, Wang Chongrong, does.

The elite main force of Huang Chao was basically wiped out by Li Yunze.

Qin Zongquan had been wiped out in a single battle before, so how could such a strong man who could sweep away thousands of troops under the swing of a golden cudgel face him head-on, and he didn't have a water curtain hole!

Li Yunze was really surprised by such a decisive manner.

Although he has thousands of armored riders in his hands, he has to cross rivers, climb mountains and pass obstacles along the way, so how can he catch up.

As for bringing all the soldiers and horses together, that is a joke.

With hundreds of thousands of people around him, how could Li Yunze have the time and energy to play hide-and-seek with Wang Chongrong.

He had no choice but to take out a small notebook and write down Wang Chongrong in bold and emphatic, and drew a circle to show the key point.

There are so many worlds, but no one who has entered his small notebook will have a good time.

The name before Wang Chongrong was Zhu Wen, but because the gift that Zhu Wen gave was very likable to Li Yunze, so the ranking fell behind Wang Chongrong.

As for the other people in the small book, such as the emperor Li Xuan, Tian Lingzi, the head of the eunuch group, and the family members of the Qiwang family with five surnames, they are all insignificant people.

The incident in Hezhong Town was considered an episode, but the effect was still significant.

On Li Yunze's next journey to Bianzhou, no one in the various military towns dared to think carefully, and even the common people turned a blind eye when they took the initiative to defect.

After all, in this chaotic world where force is paramount, powerful fists are the most effective pass.

Bianzhou, you can tell where it is just by looking at the name.

That's right, it is Bianzhou in Bianliang City, which is the famous Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo in the future.

The great reputation here is because the era of war is the focus of competition among various forces.

And the reason why it is the focus of competition is because it is located in the middle of the world, and the transportation is well developed.

Of course, while it is convenient to send troops to attack others, it is also extremely vulnerable to attack.

Li Yunze is very familiar with this place, although it is very different from 200 years later, but after all, Bianzhou is the mansion of Kaifeng, and no one in this world is more familiar with this place than him.

The army arrived in Bianzhou and quickly took over the city defense.

The first thing Li Yunze did after entering the city was not to search for girls to enrich the backyard, but to drive out all the people from the previous yamen and replace them with the people he brought from Chang'an City.

This is very important. One thing that China has not been able to change for thousands of years is the intertwined power of the locality.

No matter how they behave, whether they are doing good deeds or doing evil deeds, the root cause is that local snakes are entrenched in the place.

It used to be called a powerful, now it is called a powerful, and later it is called a gentry.

Li Yunze believed that with his strong strength as the backing, no one in the local forces would dare to find trouble, and would even take the initiative to contribute, giving money, food, clansmen and girls, just like the great magister Guangwu.

But this is not what he wants.

When he was there, the local forces were naturally honest, and the dragon had to coil up, and the tiger had to lie down, and no one dared to stab them.

But after he left, with the passage of time, he would inevitably reveal his true colors and become a moth that corrupted the country.

So whenever he went to a place, the first thing he had to do was to uproot the local forces.

Things are progressing smoothly, although there are some obstacles, but in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers, any obstacles are trivial things that are not worth mentioning.

Moreover, Li Yunze can take advantage of the opportunity to accuse them of spitting everywhere, walking the dog without a leash, and stepping on his left foot first when he came to see him complaining about injustice, etc., so that he can cleanse them.

The family property was confiscated naturally, and all the houses were taken, not to mention the fields.

While cleaning up local forces, the crackdown on urban foxes, social mice and dynamic groups in various parts of Bianzhou was also carried out simultaneously.

It is easy to deal with these city foxes and social rats, but it is actually the local forces behind them that are difficult to deal with.

With the secret support of local forces, dynamic groups can do all kinds of evil.

But if the local forces are eliminated first, then these city foxes and rats will really be beaten by everyone, even a group of farmers can be disposed of with hoes.

As for the candidates to replace them, they were all recruited and arranged by Li Yunze when he was in Chang'an City, as well as retired sergeants in the army.

The scholars he recruited knew very well what kind of stuff the Tang court was. If they stayed, they would definitely not end well. After all, the places were limited, and they couldn't stand without a foothold at all.

So they all followed Li Yunze.

Moreover, Li Yunze set up literacy classes in the army to teach the soldiers how to read and write.

When marching during the day, everyone carries a wooden board on their backs. On the wooden board, there are characters that the comrades behind him want to learn, and they walk and learn along the way.

Before going to bed at night, the scholars accompanying the army will use the battalion as a unit, and the soldiers will gather to impart knowledge for an hour.

It is not required to be proficient in the words of sages, as long as they can read and write.

Moreover, after the sergeant retires due to injury, retires at the age of age, or applies on his own initiative, he will be properly arranged.

Either enter the yamen of various places, or be a village official in the fields.

Therefore, the sergeants were very enthusiastic about learning, and Li Yunze provided sufficient resources such as pens, ink, paper and inkstones, wooden plaques, etc., and the entire Xuanwu Army was rapidly transforming into an educated army.

The good treatment of the retired sergeants, in turn, stimulated the enthusiasm for learning in the army, and at the same time, the morale and support for Li Yunze were also rapidly increasing.

The most intuitive manifestation is that every time the sergeants make meritorious service, fewer and fewer choose to exchange meritorious service for financial rewards. Everyone has accumulated meritorious service and is ready to arrange a good future when they retire.

After arranging the affairs in the army, the next step is to arrange the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who followed him to Bianzhou.

Not only them, but the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of local people in Bianzhou will also fall on his shoulders.

Most of the governors of the feudal towns don't care, as long as they can receive money and food on time, men and girls are fine. As for the life and death of the people, that is their own business.

As for whether the farmers will starve to death after most of the food is taken away, the court and the Jiedu people from all over the country will basically not care about it.

If you starve to death, you will starve to death. Anyway, there are many people in Datang.

Li Yunze couldn't do it, he didn't come to be a feudal town, he came to save the people who were struggling in troubled times.

And he knows very well that population is the foundation of everything, so not only can he not starve the people to death, but he must try his best to make them live better.

It is already July of the first year of Zhonghe, and it will be the autumn harvest soon.

Li Yunze was sorting out the fields and distributing them to the people who followed him. At the same time, he expressed his opinion to the six counties under the jurisdiction of Bianzhou that this year's autumn tax will be completely waived.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar from everyone up and down.

The people were naturally cheering, calling Jiedu the reincarnation of a sage.

But Li Yunze's civil servants were dumbfounded.

Without the autumn grain, even if they don't send taxes to Chang'an City, what do they eat and use?
Relying on the previous seizures, it is indeed possible to support the grain harvest next year, but everyone agrees that those seizures belong to the private property of Jiedushi.

Which Jiedushi will use his private property these days.
"Use the seizures of these days to pay for the expenses of the army and the local government." Li Yunze's words made everyone unbelievable.

It's actually true!
A knowledgeable person will secretly think at this time, "Jiedu's picture is very big!" '

If you don't collect money for yourself but use it to raise soldiers and people, then you must have a grand plan.

All of a sudden, many smart people chose to take the initiative to take effect, which is a kind of betting.

This kind of thing has happened too many times.

Of course Li Yunze had plans, but he really didn't care about these things.

He can use gold, silver and various jewelry to go to the modern world in exchange for massive supplies to feed everyone.

Because Time and Space Gate, of course, is extremely calm.

If not, then you have to scratch your head like the Mediterranean Sea and think hard about how to increase productivity.

Li Yunze divided the official land, the land confiscated by the local forces, and the land that became unclaimed due to the war.

Not only the common people, but also the soldiers in the army were assigned to Yongyetian according to their combat achievements.

Sergeants who have relatives at home can take care of themselves.If not, you can rent it to the nearby people to plant and collect rent.

In this division, the cohesion and loyalty of the army soared once again.

Li Yunze made it clear to everyone, whether it was the sergeants or the common people, and he also wrote clearly in black and white on the land deeds that all the fields were converted to Yongye fields, and the sub-fields were cancelled.

However, Yongyetian can only be inherited from now on, and cannot be bought or sold.

Sons and daughters can inherit it, and it is okay to adopt a son if it is not possible.

You can grow it yourself, rent it out, or even throw it away.The only thing is that they cannot be bought or sold. Once they are seized, they will not only be fined heavily, but will also be confiscated.

This is the method Li Yunze summed up after going through many worlds to deal with land annexation, the most serious problem since the millennium.

In the past, he directly declared that all the land belonged to the emperor, but now he is only a Jiedu envoy, and such words are not easy to export.

After the land was divided, there was a trend of marriage in Bianzhou quickly.

It's very simple, there is permanent property.

If you have your own property, you must have an heir to inherit it. Naturally, there will be a wave of marriages, and even push the price of local bride price soaring.

Fortunately, Li Yunze is tax-free and paid, whether in the military or in the localities, bachelors can basically afford wives.

If it doesn't work, let's wait until next year to save money.

During the autumn harvest, Li Yunze showed his money making ability.

He ordered a large number of ironware and various agricultural tools from the modern world, including but not limited to sickles, rakes, iron plows, hoes, poles, baskets, carts, bamboo sieves, shovels, threshers, etc.

Then distribute these things to the common people for free.

Even before the troubled times, not all people could use these farm tools, let alone iron ones.

During the era of war, ironware was one of the most valued resources by the vassals and towns. The special agricultural tools were basically taken away and melted to make weapons and armor.

People in many places can only do farm work with wooden farm tools.

Not to mention the low production efficiency, the loss to the user is also great.

It is difficult for modern people to understand how tiring it is to do farm work. In an era of low productivity, it is really a trade of life for food.

Bending over to collect grain, harvesting one by one.The scorching sun above my head lasted for a whole day, and my waist could not straighten up.

Digging the land was really a hoe after a hoe, so tired that my hands cramped.

Not to mention watering the land, running back and forth with buckets on my shoulders, the calluses on my shoulders were worn layer by layer.

When threshing millet, we dare not throw away even a single grain.

It was really tiring, food that was exchanged with the body.

The agricultural tools provided by Li Yunze can greatly improve the efficiency and reduce the hardship of the common people.

He also built many waterwheels on the Bianhe River, led people to dig countless canals, and so on.

After the autumn harvest, Li Yunze even offered a high price to buy the surplus grain in the hands of the common people.

Compared with directly expropriating food, spending money to buy it makes the common people smile.

After working so hard to finish the autumn harvest, Li Yunze finally had the time and energy to think about his expansion plan.

It is also a tradition to go to war after the autumn harvest.

Li Yunze's first target was Songzhou next to Bianzhou!
Take Zhang Hui, the daughter of Zhang Rui, the governor of Songzhou.
