Overlord!

Chapter 98
Zhu Zhi suddenly proposed to take the soldiers from Wujun, which made Sun Ce immediately think of Qin Shihuang to take the soldiers from all over the world, gather them in Xianyang, sell Feng Dy, and cast them as the twelve golden men.

These twelve golden men are still in Chang'an, but a few of them were cast into small coins by Dong Zhuo.

But if you want to collect the soldiers of Wu County, you will inevitably remind people of the previous sentence: "To build a famous city and kill heroes."
This is "On Passing the Qin Dynasty" written by Jia Yi, and the hero of Wu Jun is no stranger to this famous chapter.

Therefore, Sun Ce was very cautious when he wanted to implement it, and asked, "Why did Duke Zhu suddenly think of taking soldiers from Wu County?"

Zhu Zhi pointed to the furnace in front of him, and asked, "General, do you know how my Saber Anguo was built?"

"Appreciate further details."

Zhu Zhi said: "Since the Sang Rebellion, I have conquered several times. I have won one halberd and two swords on the battlefield. After entering the main county mansion, I got three long swords and a crossbow in the county mansion."

After speaking, Zhu Zhi turned his head to look at Sun Ce and said solemnly: "This old man thought he didn't deliberately collect weapons, but only one person still has nine blades! I melted the blade and recast the handle of the ring head long knife. In addition to casting knives, there is still an ingot of refined iron."

Sun Ce instantly realized what Zhu Zhi wanted to say today.

Receiving the soldiers of the world is not necessarily for the purpose of weakening the people of the world, but more likely for the purpose of developing production.

Sure enough, Zhu Zhi then said: "The old man has served as the captain of Wu County for a long time, and he knows that the people of Wu County are aggressive. The powerful and powerful families often use iron drums to cast, and a family gathers people, or even thousands of people. The other generation is their own camp and builds a fortress. Watchtowers raise private soldiers. In times of war, to arm these private soldiers in the headquarters, they spared no effort to forge a large number of weapons. As a result, the local tyrants often drive out the chief officials. Even if they submit to the imperial court, they often control the local bureaucrats. County officials, county officials There are more than a thousand regular guests in the official's house, and they are unwilling to respond."

"So I think the general has now stabilized Wujun, and he should collect all the soldiers from Wujun to melt and cast the front dysprosium into Leisi, plows, and coins for the people's livelihood."

Sun Ce's face was solemn, and he really wanted to punish heroes.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was powerful and powerful, and the imperial court was helpless. It was not an easy task to collect all the heroes.

Of course, if this kind of thing is forced by prestige, it is not impossible.For example, Qin Shihuang, if Sun Ce had the prestige of Qin Shihuang, it is not impossible to collect all powerful soldiers in the thirteen counties of Wujun.

With the tens of thousands of troops in the county now and the great prestige that had just returned from a big victory in the south, Sun Ce felt that it was possible to forcibly conscript the soldiers of Wu County.At most, the price will be higher, just like in the history of Xiaobawang, killing more.

But it would be too reckless to do so, and it would lose the magnanimity of the princes who ruled the world.

In history, the tyrants disappeared and became the manors of the Song Dynasty and the Jiangnan landlords of the Ming Dynasty. They did not rely on killings, but on the system.

In fact, before Zhu Zhi talked about this with Sun Ce today, Sun Ce had almost dismembered the powerful trilogy.

Of course, instead of directly slashing at Haoqiang, it was a detour, giving the Haoqiang members more power to choose, allowing them to agree on farming contracts on their own, just like free customers and tenant farmers.In particular, the elimination of the poll tax has greatly reduced the dependence of the tribes, guests, and private soldiers on the tyrants.

This system, in fact, fundamentally disintegrated the system of private soldiers of Jiangdong heroes.No matter how strong a hero is, he cannot be a pawn of rebellion.

But this process is completely boiled frogs.

The foundations of the tyrants are shaken. Although the upper building is full of cracks and is crumbling, if there is no strong external force to intervene and a strong big foot to put it up, this cracked and crumbling building may last for a long time.

And Zhu Zhi's decree is obviously a symbolic decree to speed up the end of Jiangdong's private soldiers.

And Zhu Zhi then said: "The officials in the counties and counties are mostly heroes in the county. I would like to be the first to disband the soldiers and horses of the county and the army of the county, and to set an example for the heroes in the county. Put all the weapons and equipment Hand over, cast swords into plows to benefit the people's livelihood."

The soldiers and horses in the headquarters are the guests and trilogy of the Jiangdong heroes themselves. Even Lu Fan has hundreds of guests, and Zhu Zhi also has hundreds of trilogy. What's more important is that he always has a county with a scale of about [-] in his hand. soldier.

Now they are all disbanded and changed from soldiers to registered households.Only these thousands of young and strong people have changed from military consumption to wealth production, which can bring about a very considerable improvement in people's livelihood.

More importantly, taking away his weapons and casting swords into plows can provide Wu Jun with a large number of iron farm tools.

Sun Ce praised: "Grand Duke Zhu is selfless, and he is actually the humerus of Jiangdong. If the governor of Wu County, everyone is like Duke Zhu, why worry about the poor livelihood of the people? Why worry about famine in Jiangdong?"

But the problem is that it is impossible for everyone to be like Zhu Zhi.He can clearly see that by supporting Sun Ce, as Sun Ce grows in power, his entire family will rise.

But other officials, senior officials, and heroes don't have this awareness.

Therefore, Sun Ce immediately asked: "How does Duke Zhu plan to carry out this policy, successfully collect the soldiers of the whole county, and make the heroes obey?"

Zhu Zhi had a firm attitude and said: "Under the order of the county government, who dares to disobey under the pressure of authority? It is the right thing for him to hand in his weapons. The law should be strictly enforced, and those who privately prohibit weapons will be punished for one year. Half. One crossbow, plus second class. A first collar and three crossbows, five years in prison. A third collar and five crossbows, hang!"

This should be regarded as a very famous law in Zhuxia, which is also the famous crime of possession of armor.There are also some refinements, such as long lances, heavy halberds, side cards, and flag flags, which are prohibited weapons, are prohibited from being kept privately.Of course, swords and longbows are not counted among them.

Sun Ce thought carefully about the feasibility of implementing this law.Throughout the dynasties, as long as the order is stable, these prohibited items should be collected.

But Sun Ce was still thinking, Zhu Zhi took the initiative to change the subject and said: "But I think that the implementation of this decree, the key to recruiting soldiers from Wu County is not how many prohibited weapons are collected, but to facilitate people's livelihood. So how many can be collected?" Weaponry is not enough."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows in surprise, he received Wu Jun's soldiers, but he didn't care how many weapons he received?

"What do you mean by Mr. Zhu's words?"

Zhu Zhi said calmly and confidently: "I heard the law from the top, and I got it. The law is from it, and I only got the bottom. The county government ordered that the soldiers of the whole county should be recruited. Iron, this is human nature."

"In order to find a way to escape, a hero must melt his weapon and make it into a weapon. Wouldn't it be convenient for the people's livelihood and increase production with so many weapons?"

"But if the government asks the powerful to forge swords into plows, I'm afraid they will push back and hide their weapons."

Sun Ce laughed, well, you know how to negotiate.

Indeed, as Zhu Zhi said.Tyrants and powerful clans are most likely to fight against the government system.It is normal to have policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

But Zhu Zhi's wave belongs to my prediction of your prediction!

What he promoted in name was the policy of "receiving soldiers from Wujun".

Once the government decree is issued, the tyrants will naturally resist and distort the policy in this regard.

As everyone knows, their method of confrontation is exactly what Zhu Zhi expected.He used the name of recruiting Wu Jun's soldiers to improve people's livelihood.

He didn't care whether the tyrants handed over their weapons to the county or not. What he expected was that the tyrants would take the initiative to smelt these fine gold and iron and cast them into farm tools.

At that time, there will be thousands of powerful and powerful men, and all the swords and halberds in their hands will be replaced by Leisi, and all the armor will be cast into plows. How can Wu County's production not be improved?

Of course, this law must be strictly enforced.This can ensure that the tyrants of Wu County can no longer arm a large number of tribes.The big Han who also owns the manor is gradually transformed into the manor outsiders of the Song Dynasty.

Sun Ce immediately replied: "Since Mr. Zhu has perfected the law, let's implement it according to Mr. Zhu's words. The county government will issue an order and tell the people to collect all prohibited weapons."

Zhu Zhi immediately cupped his hands and said, "Old man, I will send postal inspectors to inspect the north and south of counties and counties, and inspect the county magistrates and heroes to collect all prohibited weapons."

Sun Ce asked with great interest, "Post Supervisor? Who is Mr. Zhu planning to use as post post supervisor?"

Superintendent post is a position with a lot of power. He is light on power. He is in charge of conveying religious orders.

To put it more vividly, he is also a light weight, similar to the governor.The only difference is that the governor of each state is appointed by the emperor, while the postal governor is appointed by the prefect.Therefore, these government officials will also directly call the prefect the master and the governor.

Don't think that Liu Bei has whipped more than a hundred lashes as the supervisor, so that this position seems unworthy.

Another allusion has just truly demonstrated the authority and dignity of the postal governor.

Later generations all know an allusion about not bending down for five buckets of rice.

This allusion was formed precisely because of the postal supervisor. Tao Yuanming was in charge of Peng Zeling at that time, and a postal supervisor from the county came to Pengze for inspection.Tao Yuanming said angrily: "I don't want to bow down to the children in the village for five buckets of rice!"

It can be said that Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi are not out in Wu County, and these two governors can best represent their will, coercing the county magistrates and heroes.

Whether these two can take charge will directly determine whether the decree to disband the military power of heroes can be implemented smoothly.

This should be the first collective confrontation between Sun Ce and the heroes of Wu County, and these two governors are his sharpest swords.

Zhu Zhi said: "I plan to appoint Xu Yi as the postal supervisor in the north, and lead the officials to drive around the north of the county. I appoint Lu Dai as the captain of the south, and lead the troops to deter the heroes."

"Good." Sun Ce said with a smile: "Now I can see that there are a lot of talents in my Wu County! The civil and military skills I use are all outstanding people in the world."

To be reasonable, there are so many talents in Wujun County that it is unimaginable.In particular, the scholars from the north went south, so that there are many wise men here, and within ten cities, there must be some wonderful things.

Only these talents can not only prop up the skeleton of a power, but even enrich its wings.

To be reasonable, generals like Liu Bei and Lu Bu in the north can barely compare with Sun Ce.But if they are civil servants, even if they are named state herdsmen, they cannot compare with Sun Ce's county.

After Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi made their decision, the two postmasters drove around the counties the next day, announcing the orders of the county government, and personally inspecting each household's tyrants to hand over prohibited weapons.

In just three days, they confiscated thousands of spears, daggers, halberds, beryllium, and cymbals in Wu County and Youquan County respectively.

There are dozens of flags and more than [-] crossbows!
Especially the latter items, no matter how you look at them, are absolutely prohibited.Which decent family would hide dozens of banners at home?Do you want to be ready to rise up and pull up an army at any time?
But soon, Sun Ce lost the news of these two postal supervisors.

It's not that they have encountered heroes, but that the rainy season is here!The roads were muddy and their messages were difficult to deliver.

In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the plum blossoms usually come in May and the plum blossoms come out in June, and early rice should be harvested in the middle and late ten days after the plum rains end.

Of course, if the rainy season is long, the early rice will mature a little later, and it will be harvested in late June or early July.

But no matter what, the rainy season, which came as scheduled, made Sun Ce quite happy.

It rains every house during the yellow plum season, frogs are everywhere in the grass pond

After the rain and the clouds opened, the pool was bright, and the fish fry grew so long in three years.

Xiaohe fist can wrap bream, and the evening sun shines on the wind and dews the fragrance.

For several days, Sun Ce stood in front of the window from time to time, admiring the picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of wind blowing bamboo leaves and rain beating plantains.

Of course...he didn't appreciate that and had nothing else to do.

The continuous rain made the roads everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River muddy, and his control of information was almost limited to this county.

Zhou Cheng lazily got up from the couch, her legs were still a little weak.

There was no way, being trapped in the room by the rain, Sun Ce was with her, so the joy of walking in the boudoir was naturally indispensable.

After Zhou Cheng was fully dressed, he walked gently to Sun Ce, looked out the window together, and asked, "What scenery is Sun Lang looking at?"

Sun Ce pointed to the farmers who were busy in the fields by the lake, and said, "I'm looking at the people in Wutong Garden. They have cultivated paddy fields by the lake. How many fish fry are there?"

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is not only fish in the rivers, lakes and seas, but more importantly, as the poet said, many fish are raised in the paddy fields and ponds of every household.

The method of raising fish in rice fields has existed since ancient times. It can not only increase the harvest, but also increase the fertility of the land with fish dung.

Grass carp are basically raised in the rice fields, and it only takes two or three years for the fry to grow into adults.A grass carp weighing two to three catties is enough for a family to eat as a main dish.If you keep it for a long time, there will be more than ten catties of fat fish.With this weight, even a family of ten can’t finish it!
Zhou Cheng asked: "Could it be that Sun Lang wants to eat fish? The price of fish in Wu County has dropped again, and the family can prepare it at any time."

"Dropped again?" Sun Ce asked in surprise, "The fish fry haven't grown yet, have they?"

Seeing Sun Ce's surprised expression, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, his face was as beautiful as a picture, and he said with a smile: "Sun Lang, Wu County is not all newly cultivated fields. Many paddy fields before have also raised fish fry. Wu County has not been affected by war, and these paddy fields are well taken care of, and naturally produce a lot of fresh fish. Now that the business is revived, the price of fish will naturally drop."
