2182 Chapter 2187 Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun
Xiao Yun led the troops to escort the food and grass back to the barracks. The soldiers saw that they had enough rations for a year, and they were extremely happy.

Xiao Yundao: "Brothers, I know that you followed the king loyally, trekking thousands of miles from the capital to the Qin country, far away from your family and parents. Brothers, when you have your own land, you can bring your family to Qin and settle here with your relatives. The king and queen have always taken good care of the brothers who were born and died. Everyone can follow the king with confidence. It's going to be a great day!"

All the soldiers were very convinced by Xiao Yun's words.

Xiao Zetian was known for loving and caring for his soldiers at first, but after he got married to Su Li, Su Li was rich in business, so he sent some wine and meat to the barracks every now and then to reward the soldiers.

Su Li even helped solve the livelihood of the old, weak, and disabled soldiers in the barracks, and recruited them to plantations to make a living for them.

Therefore, the soldiers had no doubts about their masters, and they all believed that following Xiao Zetian and Su Li's couple would have a good life, and they would not be kicked away one day when they were injured and useless.

Xiao Yun put down the food and grass, settled down properly, and returned to Qin Palace.

At this time, in Qin Palace, Su Li and Bai Lu were holding the newly acquired land deeds and taking inventory of the property.

The property of Zhao Jun's lineage was confiscated, so all of Zhao Jun's land belonged to the Qin Palace, and now the land from Xindi was added, and the amount was very considerable.

"Bai Lu, we need to re-measure the land now, so that we can re-divide it into pieces for people to cultivate." As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Xiao Yun came.

"Queen, the grain and grass have been escorted to the barracks, and my subordinates have informed all the sergeants that there will be land distributed to them according to the Queen's wishes." Xiao Yun said.

"Okay, I've drawn up a draft of the specific land distribution plan." Su Li nodded and asked Xiao Yun to come over to participate in the discussion.

"My plan is like this. First, re-measure the land and count the number of farming soldiers. Second, formulate a land distribution plan according to military merit and rank. Those with high rank or military merit will be allocated more fields, and those who are idle will be allocated less. If someone makes meritorious service in the future, the land can be used as a reward. In the end, the ownership of all the land belongs to the Qin Palace, and the soldiers only have the right to use the land to cultivate it, but no rent is charged. As long as the soldiers and their If their descendants are still loyal to the Qin army, they can continue to cultivate the land allocated to them for free." Su Li said.

When Xiao Yun heard it, he praised: "Wonderful, it is a good way to use land to motivate soldiers to make contributions. Since ancient times, people hope that they have land in their hands, land and food, and they will follow you wholeheartedly. Now let's give soldiers Our land, let them plant it for free, they can take root here, move their families here, and be even more devoted to the king and queen."

Su Li nodded, and said: "It is really not easy for the more than 20 Qin army to follow the king to leave their hometown and take root here, so appeasing them is the top priority. Our army is the core of all forces. As long as the army's morale is stable, the army If you support us, then when someone wants to fight against us, you have to weigh whether you are strong enough. No matter how hard you say, it is useless to kill your head if you cut it down. This is called 'political power grows out of the barrel of a gun'."
