Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 944 Communication
What happened in Luoyang City was nothing more than an insignificant incident to everyone.In just a moment, everyone put that matter behind them, left the city gate, and set foot on the road.

Among the five prefectures owned by Li Xiang, Bing and He prefectures have been occupied for many years, especially Bing prefecture, which has been managed by Li Xiang for a long time, so there is no need to worry at all.

And he has won Sizhou for a certain period of time, and he has been sitting in Sizhou himself for the past few years, so there is nothing special about the situation here.

Therefore, the place Li Xiang was really going to this time was actually the new Yongliang and Liangzhou states, and Sizhou was just passing by for a look on the way.Because of the time factor, in fact, the real destination this time is only Yongzhou. There is a high probability that he will not go to Liangzhou.

Along the way, Li Xiang stopped and stopped. Occasionally, when he came across a village on the road, he might go in and have a look, see how the people's life was like, and hear how the officials here managed it.

On this day, after walking along the official road for another two hours, Li Xiang arrived at Gucheng County, which he was planning to visit today. After passing Gucheng, Hangu Pass was next, and after that was Guanzhong. up.

Three years ago, even if you were riding a tall horse, you would not have such a fast speed.However, there is a saying in later generations that "if you want to get rich, build roads first", and convenient transportation plays an important role in promoting economic development.

What's more, not only economic development, even in the military, transportation also plays a huge role.If the traffic is convenient, perhaps the troops can reach the designated destination faster.The battlefield is changing rapidly, and perhaps arriving so early can change the trend of the entire battlefield.

Moreover, building roads in this world is much easier than in future ones, so Li Xiang has always been very firm about this.From the current point of view, the road conditions are basically satisfactory.

Walking on the road on the outskirts of Gucheng County, both sides were already busy with harvesting farmers, and many county soldiers interspersed among them. Li Xiang nodded slightly watching this scene.

After all, Li Xiang still traveled through time, so in many things, he was inevitably influenced by modern times.Using the army to help the people, the army and the people are one family is his concept in military development, and if he wants to achieve this, as long as the propaganda and agitation work is done well, it can play a big role.

Now, not to mention the newly acquired Yongliang prefectures, in the three prefectures of Bing, He, and Si, the people under his rule have a very good impression of these troops under Li Xiang's command.At this point, Li Xiang was a big step ahead of other princes.

Although it is still far from the level of military and civilian fish-water conditions under the leadership of the modern socialist party, it will always make continuous progress as it gradually develops in the future.

"My fellow, we are traveling around Bingzhou, can we ask for some water?" When we came to a field, we saw a group of people resting, so Li Xiang and his party stopped off their horses and laughed with the accent of their hometown that had been abandoned for many years. asked.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter what a sip of water is." A middle-aged man smiled and said politely, then he took out a water jug, and took out a few bowls to pour water for Li Xiang and the others.The folk customs at this time were very simple, and the people were quite friendly to foreigners, which made Li Xiang and his party feel very good.

"Brother, how's the harvest this year?" A guard pretended to be very thirsty and calmly stepped forward to take a sip. Sitting next to him, he asked with a smile, and drank the clear water after speaking.

There is no pollution in this year, everything is pure and natural, even the water tastes sweet when you drink it, unlike the later generations, it takes a lot of effort to find some clean water.

"Hahaha, it seems that my brother must be a son of a wealthy family, and he actually cares about the affairs of this farm." The middle-aged man touched his head honestly, and then he talked about the specific situation like Li Xiang, "Brother , The weather this year is good, neither drought nor flood, and when the farming season is busy, the county magistrate will also organize yamen servants to help everyone, this year's harvest will definitely not be bad!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man was still laughing happily.That's right, for these ordinary people, maybe having a few acres of land and having a good harvest is a big deal for them.Maybe just adding a few catties of grain every year is enough to make them laugh all winter long.

"Oh, it's really a good thing to have a good harvest this year. Brother, after paying the tax, is the food left over for my family?" He poured another big ladle of water and gulped it down. , as if asking casually again.

When Emperor Han Ling and Dong Zhuo were there, the taxes were already heavy, and then there were a bunch of corrupt officials and a bunch of exorbitant taxes. If you were unlucky, there might be some natural and man-made disasters.Therefore, life at that time was miserable.

However, after Li Xiang came to power, although these miscellaneous taxes were removed, the tax burden was much lighter.But compared with peacetime or prosperous times, this tax is still much higher.

In times of war, it is necessary to maintain a large-scale army in hand, coupled with occasional wartime needs, this tax, even if Li Xiang wants to lower it, he can't lower it, and it must always be kept at a certain level.

"The little dissatisfied brother said that after paying the tax, the remaining family will not have much left after filling their stomachs. However, many of us ordinary people now have their own land, and they can survive! All this , I have to thank King Jin for his benevolence!" The man said honestly and with a grateful expression.

Indeed, the current situation is really many times better than previous years.If this was done more than ten years ago, let alone a family full of food, many people even reached the point where they couldn't survive.

Changing children to eat, if it hadn't really reached the point where there is no other way, how could such a thing happen!

The Yellow Turban Rebellion back then, if it weren't for the fact that the common people in the world were really unable to survive, how could it have developed to such a scale that it almost swept the world.

It is also because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion not long ago that the princes of all walks of life, no matter they are wise or fatuous, can no longer ignore the huge power of the people at the bottom.

It is precisely because of this that the princes of all walks of life will pay more attention to the interests of the common people when governing.It is precisely because of this that the people in the world are now many times better than they were ten years ago!
