Chapter 308
After Gao Yi led the cavalry to occupy Sancha City, they were warmly welcomed by the people.

Who doesn't know that the common people and military households under He Jinzhao's command are living a good life.

If the hammer bandits don't come again, they will take the initiative to go to the hammer bandits.

Anyway, after they paid the food, they didn't have any food in hand.

As for the military households, their group is worse than the tenant households, and they are all serfs of the frontier generals.

A group of Ming soldiers who passed by the Octagonal Fort a few days ago thought they were going to conquer the Hammer Bandits, but they all turned to the Hammer Bandits.

If they had known this earlier, they would have followed suit.

After He Jinzhao led the large troops to Sancha City, the military households knelt aside and asked He Jinzhao to make decisions for them.

He Jinzhao was not ambiguous about this kind of thing.

He directly sent people to get the landowners to take out all the new grain harvested this summer and the old grain stored for sponsorship.

Only by releasing all the slaves can they save their lives, and if they dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot.

In this way, not only their lives could not be saved, but even their money could not be saved.

There are only two choices before them, either donate food and land to the hammer bandits to save money and lives.

Or just sacrifice a few lives, and everything else goes to the hammer bandits.

Yang Yuxiu was sent to investigate Sancha City, the three most notorious gentry and landlords.

These people are not the ones who can survive by sponsoring all the food and land.

People still want to kill!
Gao Yigong sent a small group of troops to the surrounding villages and military forts to advertise their surrender.

The two Tian Hu brothers started from Sancha City, passed through Wuzhou, Yijing Tunpu, and Shenchikou, and encircled Ningwu Pass.

He Zan and Liu Erhu led the troops to Wuzhai Fort, and then divided up the troops in Wuzhai Fort, and went to encircle Wuzhai County.

In any case, let's get started first.

Qiu Zhitao began to distribute food according to He Jinzhao's order, and everyone, regardless of gender, age or child, came to register.

You can get food, even babies can get food, in short, you get food according to the head.

The incident of drowning female infants still happened from time to time when the dynasty was normal.

At the end of the dynasty, adults couldn't get enough to eat, let alone children.

During the disasters in Shaanxi two years ago, the incident of changing children and eating them often happened.

"Put food in."

He Jinzhao looked at the crowd of people under the sun.

Twenty or so scribes worked hard to write and write, and registered their household registration by the way.

Although the chosen location was under the shade of trees, the military households and tenant households who could line up all stood out.

But the sun in early July is really too poisonous.

He Jinzhao just stood in the shade of a tree wearing a soldier's smock (short vest), as if he had been fished out of the water.

He couldn't help but look up, is this still the Little Ice Age?
Summer is hotter and winter is colder!
During the Wanli period, droughts occurred every few years.

However, from the last years of Tianqi to the last years of Chongzhen, droughts in the Yellow River Basin were almost every year, and even spread to the Yangtze River Basin.

The duration of the drought during the Chongzhen period was unparalleled in history.

In such a vicious sun, He Jinchao still didn't walk away with ice wrapped in a cloth scarf on his head and a cattail fan in his hand.

In any case, he had to personally participate in the distribution of food.

Rewards and punishments cannot be easily given to others.

The people in Sancha City are all in rags and rags. Fortunately, it is summer, and there are many shirtless people, and they are all skinny.

Three buckets of rice per person, half a catty of rice a day, can last for about 75 days.

If you bring a child to pick it up, it can last longer.

The common people came to collect the grain with cloth bags. Even if the clothes were torn, the patches on the grain bags were still well patched.

Those who give food are not like the landlords who fight in big buckets and small buckets out.

The cloth bag was stretched open, and two buckets of grain were put directly into it.

The first one was that he was full and the whole family was not hungry. He was in his prime of life, and he didn't skimp a bit. He was very happy, and he began to thank He Jinzhao.

He Jinzhao waved him away, don't block the people behind.

Holding the note and looking at the four people, He Jinzhao sent someone to give him two buckets of food for one stone.

The first family to receive the full amount of food immediately knelt down to He Jinzhao under the leadership of the father.

They have never seen such a kind-hearted rebel!
He Jinzhao supported the old man with one hand: "Your family will thank you on behalf of the people behind."

Then he yelled at the people queuing behind: "Those who receive the food in the back don't need to kneel, don't delay everyone to get the food, go home quickly after receiving the food, and listen to the greetings in two days, there will be an opera to watch."

The people of Sancha City all thanked loudly, and some people in the queue also knelt down far away, praying to God and all the gods, that they must bless him and wish him a long life and so on.

In fact, what He Jinzhao sends out is old grain stored by the landlords.

The grain is piled up in the granary, even if it is rotten, they will not distribute it to the people, so they must keep the price of grain high and be the beneficiary forever.

It's like the principle that capitalists choose to pour milk.

If you starve to death, you will starve to death. If you can’t afford milk or ice cream, it’s none of my business!
Of course, the landlords boast that they are great benevolent people, and scolding with the common people to create this situation is because God does not let everyone live.

Then she shed two tears and said that the landlord's family had no food surplus. In the end, the rent still cost [-] cents, and the usury still had to be repaid.

After all, the landlords also want to "eat".

He Jinchao distributed food for three consecutive days, and finally registered the household registration numbers of the people in the eight surrounding villages.

In all, there are one thousand and one hundred households with five thousand and three people.

As far as this is concerned, many domestic slaves are forced, and the number of people obtained by converting Lehu into private households.

"Lord."

Yang Yuxiu put the roster on He Jinzhao's desk.

"There's ice-cold mung bean soup, go get it yourself." He Jinzhao opened the brochure and took a quick look:
"The food distributed can only last for two and a half months. Find a living for them, don't sit and eat."

Hearing this, Yang Yuxiu shook his head happily:

"My lord, the people around Sancha City are weeding and burning straw,
Because of what happened in Hequ County, they have also heard about it, and they all want to share the land with you in the future. "

"Hmm." He Jinzhao thought for a while:
"At that time, we will distribute beans to them. After the harvest, [-]% of the beans that belong to them can be exchanged for food."

Beans are to be fed to war horses, and they are also strategic materials.

"As for the food after two and a half months, we can lend them interest-free."

He Jinzhao paused for a moment: "You can't keep sending food, you can just deduct it after the autumn harvest.

"Yes."

He Jinzhao thought for a while, and said to Miao Siniang who was beside him, "It's been hard for you these few days, I will send someone to protect you."

Miao Siniang is very fond of the role of Xi'er, because she has also experienced this kind of experience.

The father of Lehu's children is not necessarily his real father.

Even if it is the Secretary of Jiaofang, as long as he can't get out of his nationality, he should be slept by someone. There is nothing special about it.

Only here at He Jinzhao, they are treated as human beings, and they are given important responsibilities.

"Public envoy, our propaganda team must do a good job, there is no need to send troops to protect us."

He Jinzhao shook his head: "I'm not worried about your safety, but I'm worried that the landlord who plays Huang Shiren will be killed."
