I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 235: Soldiers from all directions are gathered together, and the offense and defense are about to change shape!

Li Heng couldn't help but sweat.

Fortunately, we traveled to the Three Kingdoms. Long Live is not exclusive to the emperor in this era.

If we traveled back in time to the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, and a group of people suddenly shouted "Long Live" below, I would probably hang his skin at the city gate to dry.

Li Heng raised his hand, pressed it, and his voice slowly softened.

Everyone looked at Li Heng with expectant eyes.

"You are all the subjects of my great Han Dynasty. The imperial court cannot bear to see the people suffering from hunger, so it does not hesitate to instigate sword fighting and allocate the fields to you!" Li Heng said loudly, "However, the world has fallen, the Central Plains is boiling, and all the people Withered, Cao Cao's thief went out of his way to kill innocent people. He raised unknown troops several times in an attempt to overthrow Shu, poisoned all living beings, and turned the land into scorched earth! Now the king's division has started from Yizhou, holding arms to protect the people, and uphold justice. Countless people with lofty ideals, I will not hesitate to go on and on to restore peace to the world, so you are willing to go with me!"

"I am willing to follow the general, even if I die!" Lu Zhi suddenly shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the others shouted excitedly: "I am willing to follow the general, even if I die!"

"I will not give up even if I die!"

"..."

After Li Heng leaves here, today's scene and speech have been recorded by officials, and this will definitely be the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.

In this brief speech, Li Heng revealed several important information:

1. The imperial court has allocated fields to everyone, and everyone will cultivate the land well in the future. The imperial court represents public opinion.

2. Cao Cao’s bandits brought trouble to the Central Plains and sent troops several times to attack Shu. Once Cao bandits came, everyone’s fields would no longer belong to everyone.

3. If you go to war with me now, you are actually protecting your own fields.

This is a transformation of rights and responsibilities.

In the past era, power was in the hands of the big families. The big families nominally supported Ji Han, who would then recruit troops and then go to the Northern Expedition.

The Northern Expedition was actually a strategic extension and a form of self-preservation.

At this time, most of the big families in Yizhou don't say they absolutely support it, but they don't completely oppose it either.

The difference in mentality lies here.

If you win the big family, I might take some credit, but if you lose, it doesn't matter to me as long as you don't continue to ask me for resources.

After all, Cao Rui is here, I just need to change my official uniform!

Now that the fields are allocated to farmers, it is completely different.

The equal land system is naturally in conflict with the current land system of Cao Wei and Sun Wu.

The equalization of land system means that the right to use land is in the hands of individual farmers, which is a restraint on aristocratic families.

Once Cao Wei or Sun Wu captures Yizhou, these people will become vassals of the big families again.

Therefore, Cao Wei and Sun Wu now have conflicts with them.

Of course, conflict cannot be counted as enemies.

But what happens when this conflict is interpreted?

Beginning in June of the 15th year of Jianxing, Zhechong Prefectures from all over the country began to spring up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in various counties in Yizhou.

When Luoyang also began to use political forms to arrest large families and tighten ideological issues, Yizhou began an unprecedented large-scale mobilization.

Since the Battle of Yiling, the three parties have reached a new balance.

For more than ten years, they have been attacking each other, but there have been no major changes.

Even in the first and second years after Li Heng traveled through time, there were still no big changes.

After the Fifth Northern Expedition, Cao Wei did not expect that the battle situation in Guanzhong would reach this point.

Especially in the Second Battle of Guanzhong and the Battle of Baidi Mountain, the fragile alliance of Wu and Wei was defeated.

The continuous investment of hundreds of thousands of troops not only failed to shake Zhuge Liang's military front, but after the loss of Longyou, the people's livelihood in Jingzhao was half destroyed by Shu money.

Frequent and huge changes made everyone who was used to a calm situation feel unprecedented discomfort.

The hardliners of both Cao Wei and Sun Wu have begun to act quietly. In July, it started to rain continuously for half a month in Yizhou.

There are layers of white mist spreading between the mountains.

In the rainy days, in the countryside, a large number of strong men registered, briefly said goodbye to their families, and then embarked on the road to Chongqing.

They crossed mountains, crossed fields, and walked on muddy paths.

I would also hear the storyteller’s passionate stories halfway through, thinking about my glorious hometown and dressing up in rich clothes.

You will also hear the story of the general who was in Guanzhong and defeated the enemy thousands of miles away while talking and laughing.

At this time, Li Heng put on his hat, rode his horse, and led his people to Chongqing.

After the heavy rain, he saw majestic mountains, lingering clouds and mists, meandering teams, and the mighty Yangtze River rolling eastward.

He heard loud singing coming from the mountains and saw a long caravan.

It was filled with new salt that changed the world, and loaded with Shu money that leveraged two great empires.

Finally, a long-lost pride arose in my already numb heart.

After three years, he went from being the son of an imperial doctor to becoming Ji Han's general, and was about to launch his second strategy.

On July 15th, the Ghost Festival, Li Heng arrived in Chongqing.

At this time, Chongqing had gathered 20,000 soldiers.

Including the previous more than 30,000, the total force has exceeded 50,000.

There are also a large number of government soldiers who have been recruited from all directions by the general.

Chongqing Ordnance Supervision also expanded tenfold in just a few months.

Batch after batch of iron ore was transported in, and the furnace fires burned day and night.

Countless bows and arrows were transported from the weapons supervisor's workshop, and countless sharp knives, guns and armors were placed in the weapons warehouse.

A large amount of grain was transported on official roads with great fanfare.

The members of Dahan Logistics Trading Co., Ltd. were all in high spirits and moved boxes with "grain" written on them to the transport ship.

There is no need to stand at the top of the city, other merchants and crew members at the ferry can see it.

The newspapers in the city have been using passionate words for a month to report the news that one hundred thousand royal troops gathered in Chongqing and a large amount of grain moved north along the Jialing River.

Even the General's Office established in Chongqing publicly stated many times that the Wei army in Guanzhong was at the end of its war effort, and the imperial court would continue to increase troops to Guanzhong at all costs to complete the recovery of Chang'an.

Such news is not a secret in Chongqing, and a large number of Wu Guo secret workers spread the news back to Jiangling, Wuchang, and Jianye.

Combined with last year's Battle of Guanzhong and Li Heng's previous big moves in Yizhou, Wu Guo naturally believed all the news in Chongqing without any doubts.

After Li Heng arrived in Chongqing, the atmosphere in Chongqing became even more intense.

He first went to Chongqing University and met many craftsmen who came here in admiration under the "Recruitment Order" and had long talks with the craftsmen.

Later, he personally wrote an inscription at Chongqing University, which was warmly cheered by the whole school.

After leaving Chongqing University, he went to Dongmen again. In the commercial street of Dongmen, he announced in a high-profile manner that Han and Wu were the most solid allies, and Chongqing would not set up any business tax to collect business taxes from Wu merchants.

This undoubtedly won the favor of countless Wu businessmen.

This will also make the Wu authorities more firmly believe that Li Jian is determined to fight Wei to the end.

July 20, Chongqing, General’s Mansion.

"General, this was sent by Qian Xing yesterday. In the first half of the year, we minted 10 million coins, and Chongqing Qian Xing received 6 million coins. The other four million coins were sent to the entrance of the Xiegu in Guanzhong."

"According to the price of 10,000 yuan per kilogram of fine salt, Chongqing's six million yuan can be exchanged for 60,000 kilograms." Dong Hong said, "But this year, the salt sold in Chongqing has exceeded 100,000 kilograms. Regarding money, I don't know anything about it." Checked, no problem.”

(One Shu coin is worth one hundred coins)
