Governor please stay

Chapter 365 Bloody Jinzhou (2)

On this day, in the lobby of the Shouyang government office, Liu Yishou asked a question to many scribes present.

"If the people of Xiazhou and the county are granted land, they will be very happy. However, people sit at home, and the land comes from the sky. When they get something for nothing, it is easy for people who promote rice to fight rice and hate. Why?"

This problem is very common, but also very real.

In the past, the territories were not large, and most of them were war-torn areas, with a large number of unowned lands. Evening the land was regarded as "the emperor's grace", generous to others, so Liu Yishou naturally didn't mind being a "great good man".

But now it occupies quite a large vital area in the Lianghuai area, and the large-scale equalization of land as before is no different from that of a boy who spreads money.Doing good deeds will be called stupid X.

Those who get the fields may not be grateful to you, but those who don't get the fields will turn to the aristocratic and powerful families to "seek justice" for themselves.

For anything, if the person who has received favors has an illusion of "reasonableness", it is only a matter of time before the two sides turn against each other.

"Returning to the lord, military merits are awarded land, instead of wealth, since ancient times. Of course, we can't please everyone, but letting those who have military exploits get real benefits will help the lord rule many states and counties."

Chen Yuankang folded his sleeves and bowed, and said slowly, he had been brewing this idea for a long time.

Granting military merits has a long history, and it is also one of the most effective means to win over subordinates and consolidate power.Of course, this can only be used as an auxiliary means, and the scale and scope must be controlled.Otherwise, it would be easy for his subordinates to appear those arrogant soldiers under the command of Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty.

The Qiubas who have a considerable amount of land can completely hand over the fields to the recruited servants to take care of them, and become professional soldiers themselves, spending all their energy on the highly professional technique of "killing people".

These completely off-the-job professional non-commissioned officers and soldiers, because of their rich family background, intermarried with each other's offspring, forming a "soldier class".No matter who leads the army, these people are always a group of people, and they will be in power as many emperors are changed.

Granting military merits is a strong medicine, but it cannot be used alone. It must have other supporting policies.

After Chen Yuankang finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, pondering the pros and cons of this strategy.This is the first time that how to reward the soldiers under his command has been put in public, making the rewards institutionalized and standardized.Regardless of whether this strategy has any shortcomings, its groundbreaking is a shocking scene for everyone under Liu Yishou's command.

Mao Xi, who was sitting in the hall as a reporter, was dumbfounded. Although he knew that Liu Yishou was going to rebel, he had never expected that it had progressed to such an extent.

"My lord can imitate the old system of the Wei State, and set up workshops in each county, stationed with sergeants, and defending the city. Each workshop has a workshop owner, and the sergeant of the workshop is responsible for patrolling security on weekdays, and is also responsible for training soldiers and providing soldiers for the army.

The garrisons in each square were dispatched and stationed in rotation, and the soldiers from all over the place were mixed to prevent collusion with local tyrants.In the future, all the armies under the lord's command will use the fang as the smallest unit, and the outstanding sergeants in the fang will be promoted to the lord's own army, and they will be considered elite and form an army alone. "

Wang Wei had been thinking about this idea for a long time, and when Chen Yuankang offered advice, he followed suit.To put it simply, it is to standardize the source of soldiers under Liu Yishou's command, so that the soldiers are Liu Yishou's soldiers, not the private soldiers of those generals under his command.

This strategy has nothing to do with acres, but a purely military form of organization.Judging from what has been said, it seems quite feasible, but we need to observe more about the effect.

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said: "Both of you offer suggestions, both of which are good words of gold and jade. You can write down the items in detail and send them to me alone. There is no need to discuss them here."

Although Chen Yuankang and Wang Wei spoke very well, they did not directly answer the question raised by Liu Yishou, which is the most fundamental question in establishing a country: how to distribute the means of production!

"My lord, if there is no one in the family to serve in the army, each man will be given ten acres of land, and the woman will be given half of it. The land cannot be bought or sold, and it cannot be transferred as a gift. It must be planted according to our arrangement.

Abandoning or planting other crops will be punished in the first year, and the land will be taken back in the second year.

The rent collected is only paid by the government, and the tax is light. "

Yang Min said in a low voice.

He thought about this move for a long time, and it was time for the scribes to come up with suggestions to decide major events, so he didn't intend to hide his clumsiness anymore.

The scale of this grant of land is much smaller than that of Emperor Xiaowen's time, and it can only be said to be enough for food and clothing.Although the tax burden can be very light, but the amount is too small, not enough to plant, and I am afraid that life will be tight throughout the year.

Chen Yuankang glanced at Yang Min, and asked helplessly, "How can you support your family with so few acres?"

"My lord, if you want to live well, you can't rely on this amount of land. I have another strategy here. Every family has soldiers who can grant additional land. This land can be donated to other members of the family, or it can be inherited by children. Father's property, but not to sell to others.

If the family is unable to cultivate, they can hand over the land to the government in exchange for money.

That is to say, those who join the army in the future can get a basic grant of land. This land can be exchanged for money without receiving it, or it can be cultivated by family members.In this way, for the livelihood of the family, there must be someone willing to stand up and join the army.

For those who don't want to join the army, it is enough to have a subsistence food, so what more can you ask for? "

Yang Min's words can be summed up as follows: Those who are willing to serve as soldiers for Liu Yishou can make life better for their families.As for those who are unwilling to fight, just farm the land honestly, it is a troubled time now, and it is impossible to make a decent living by plowing the fields.

"How do you deal with powerful families from all over the world?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.Yang Min's strategy is not yet detailed, but the path is correct. Before the world is unified, this one is enough.After unifying the world, adjust the strategy again, and you can even adjust while implementing it.

Only the children of the Haoqiang family know the Haoqiang family best, and he was born in the big family of the Hongnong Yang family. Yang Min can be said to know the economy of the Haoqiang manor like the palm of his hand.

"My lord, taking back the powerful land is likely to cause turmoil. However, you can take over the use rights of mountains, lakes, forests and even roads in various places. This is equivalent to pinching the lifelines of those powerful people without causing a lot of trouble. Too much vibration."

Yang Min said calmly.

What does it matter if you say that, anyway, Hongnong Yang's territory has long been lost, and the manor has also been destroyed by Er Zhurong and others. Now he hopes that those people who eat food and drink spicy food will end up with Yang's.

When Liu Yu established the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to suppress the arrogance of the aristocratic and wealthy families, he promulgated the "Zhanshan Ge".That is to say, according to the ranks of bureaucrats, nobles and common people, the quotas for different grades of mountains and rivers are stipulated, and the amount of mountains and rivers occupied is recorded in the property book.

At that time, the aristocratic and wealthy families were simply lawless. They ran rampant in their hometown. The mountains belonged to his family, and the water belonged to his family.

Although "Zhanshange" is still an unequal law, it binds the hands and feet of the aristocratic tyrants, preventing them from doing anything wrong and creating objective conditions for the rule of Yuanjia.

Yang Min pointedly pointed out that the land is weak, and only places like mountains, forests, lakes and swamps are the real key points.

"My lord, those big households, if they are wise, can let them use the mountains, forests and lakes, but they can't enjoy it exclusively. If they are not wise, as long as they dare to reach out, we will have no excuse to deal with them. It is the right time to send troops to destroy them."

Yang Min leveled his hand and said with a sneer.

Liu Yishou complained secretly in his heart, I am not afraid of you being a hooligan, but I am afraid that the hooligan is educated.Yang Min, who was born in a family, turned into a hooligan, which was indeed more harmful than those generals who were born with mud legs.

These few tricks are vicious, each one hits the vital point, as expected of a person from a big family, he is really full of bad water.

"Zun Yan's words won my heart. What you said just now, you refine the rules, and we will discuss them in a few days."

Liu Yishou clapped his hands and continued, "You've all worked hard in the recent scorching heat. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to take a three-day bath, and then wait for you to come to the government office again. These big things have to be finalized.

When the autumn harvest comes, I will also go to Jiankang to participate in the emperor's birthday. I hope that all these problems will be dealt with before then.It's all gone. "

Mao Xi, who was recording expressionlessly beside Liu Yishou, was already numb, and wrote down all the words of the few people just now verbatim, with mixed emotions in his heart.

None of the people in the hall said that they wanted to rebel, but everyone said that they were all for the purpose of changing the dynasty, but they were so organized and set in one set.

Is the sky in Liang Kingdom really about to change?
Mao Xi was a little worried about Xiao Yan who was eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha in Jiankang City, and ignored government affairs.

……

War is like this, sometimes your idea is very good, but the enemy may not act as you expected, and go as you planned.

Gao Huan followed Duan Shao's strategy, surrounded Huguan City without fighting, and divided his troops to attack Xiangyuan and Lucheng in the north.Originally, after capturing the eldest son city, Yuan Tianmu was like a frightened bird, shrinking his troops to besiege Huguan city, making the troops in Xiangyuan and Lucheng even weaker.

Therefore, Han Gui and Dou Tai took almost no effort to attack Xiangyuan and Lucheng.

Knowing that Gao Huan's army is plundering land in Jinzhou, Yuan Tianmu is in a dilemma.

If troops were sent to break the siege, it would be possible to repel Gao Huan, but it was precisely because of insufficient troops that Yuan Tianmu was trapped in Huguan City.Therefore, if you attack, it is tantamount to giving up the danger of the city and attacking the enemy's strength with your own strength.

But if no troops are sent, Gao Huan's army can still attack Jinyang by bypassing Huguan City, what can they do?

Yuan Tianmu's request for help was quickly delivered to Murong Shaozong who was in Jinyang.

Before the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Tianmu could be said to have been the most prominent in the border town, but he was a clan commander who could be compared with Er Zhurong.But ever since he was hanged and beaten by Chen Qingzhi, he seemed to be lacking in energy, and his fame as a famous general had also faded, and he became mediocre.

When he received Yuan Tianmu's request for help, Murong Shaozong actually felt a little disdainful in his heart!

The so-called mobilization of soldiers and horses, when you strengthen one place, will naturally weaken other places. This is an eternal dead truth!There is nothing wrong with Yuan Tianmu asking him for help, but if Jinzhou is reinforced, what should Jinyang do?
That's right, Huguan City is indeed very important, and so is Jinzhou Basin, but if you compare it with Jinyang, there is nothing there!
If Jinzhou is lost, it can be regained.If Jinyang is lost, Er Zhurong will lose the capital to challenge Gao Huan from now on, and his defeat is not far away!
Even if they ask for help, it's their turn to find Murong Shaozong!
At this moment, Murong Shaozong who received the letter looked down on and despised Yuan Tianmu.

However, Kezhu Huntianhe, the patriarch of the Kezhuhun clan who had considered Murong's relatives in the past, persuaded Murong Shaozong not to ignore it.

Murong Shaozong felt very confused, and said to Ke Zhuhuntianhe: "Jinyang is the foundation, and it should not be ignored. If it is lost, it will be like a landslide. If I send troops to rescue Yuan Tianmu, what will Jinyang do?"

Murong Shaozong is very talented in military affairs, and also has a bright eye.Baojinyang is the foundation of this battle.When Er Zhurong is free, he can actually wrestle with Gao Huan in Jinzhou at any time.With Jinyang here, he can replenish supplies calmly, so why worry about not being able to beat Gao Huan?

"Shaozong, even though it is so, but this moment, that moment."

But Zhu Qingtian said with a sigh.

Murong Shaozong only looked at problems from a military perspective, but sometimes wars were political battles, and military difficulties had to be “overcome”.

"how do I say this?"

Murong Shaozong said in a deep voice, he, Ke Zhuhuntian and the two were the only ones in the study, and it was night, no outsiders would know what they said.

"The Erzhu family voluntarily withdrew from Xiurongchuan, which has already damaged their prestige. Although they defeated Hedouling Bufan later, they have already let others see the truth.

Er Zhurong is now probably suspicious of you and me, after all we are not from the Er Zhu family.

If you don't send troops to rescue Yuan Tianmu this time, I'm afraid that Er Zhurong will think that you and I have two hearts, trying to occupy Jinyang and stand on our own, or dedicating the city to Gao Huan.

The so-called arrow has to be launched, and there is no room for reversal in this matter. "

But Zhu Huntian said in a sincere and earnest manner.

If Yuan Tianmu didn't cry for help, then Murong Shaozong could prevaricate Zhu Rong with "Jinyang is an important place, don't leave it lightly, and Yuan Tianmu can protect himself".

But now the request for help is on the desk, and Gao Huan has conquered the eldest son, Xiangyuan, and Lucheng. If Murong Shaozong sees death and does not save him, and sits and watches Yuan Tianmu be smashed to the ground by Gao Huan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Er Zhurong. Confess the past.

But what Zhu Qingtianhe said was quite right, even if you send troops in this battle, you have to send troops, and if you don't send troops, you have to act as if you were fighting.Anyway, it's not acceptable to put salted fish in Jinyang City.

"What do you think of this battle?" Murong Shaozong asked helplessly, as if he had been convinced.

"I bring my own troops to station troops in the county (Wu Township) to monitor Gao Huan's movements. Shaozong, you can also explain to Er Zhurong."

But Zhu Qingtian said with a solemn face.

After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only way to go.Murong Shaozong patted the other party's shoulder, nodded slightly, and didn't say a word.

The two clans have been married for generations, and they have been in-laws since Murong Chui's time. The relationship is much closer than that of Zhu Rong. Murong Shaozong is trustworthy and Zhu Huntian is harmonious.
