Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 29 Revealing dark psychology
  Lying next to Lu Mou, listening to Lu Mou's sincere thoughts and conclusions, Li Yan sighed sincerely: "You are right. In recent years, Emperor Chongzhen has done many wrong things out of care. First, there was the unrealistic five-year repayment plan. In the Liao Dynasty, the people employed were capricious and officials were not allowed to make mistakes. If King Ding really wants to revive the Ming Dynasty, he really should remind the emperor more on this point."

"It is necessary to revive the country. Because of my identity here, if I cannot save the Ming Dynasty, my country will be destroyed and my family will be destroyed. I don't want to die. But because of my identity, I cannot overthrow the past, I can only repair and improve it. Supervise my father It is necessary to change your character. But it is also imperative to win over the hearts of the people in the world. So after I go back, I have to do two things."

"Which two?"

"The first one is to ask my father to make it clear to the world that the fiefdoms of princes and princes who died in the hands of bandits will no longer be rewarded to their surviving descendants. At the same time, I will issue an order to princes and princes everywhere to Their ground rent must be reduced by half.”

Li Yan did not expect that King Ding would attack his family. This made him look at this King Ding in a new light.

"The people of the world have been suffering from your prince for a long time. If plans like yours, Prince Ding, can really be realized, countless people in the world will be supported. In this way, the number of refugees revolting will be greatly reduced, and your hope of reviving the Ming Dynasty will be even greater. Big.”

Unknowingly, Li Yan became an adviser to Lu Mou.

Forty percent of the world's land is in the hands of the princes of Lao Zhu's family. A lucky king has 40,000 hectares of land. Please note that one hectare of land in Ming Dynasty is one hundred acres. Their land rent has reached 80%, coupled with excessive corvee labor and numerous offerings, how can they not let the people flee and riot?

He rolled over to rejuvenate his stiff body, "Actually, to be honest, in my heart, I really want you to sweep through the remaining areas of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Yan was surprised: "There are rogue bandits in the world. There are not many people like me. Most of them rob, kill and coerce. Why do you still want them to poison the world again?"

"In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the situation of land annexation has reached its limit. If the Ming Dynasty wants to continue, it is urgent to solve the problem of land annexation."

Li Yan was speechless. The world concluded that the fate of a dynasty for three hundred years was a foregone conclusion.

The reason why it became a dead end was that land annexation caused the people who really supported the imperial court to lose their land and no longer have the ability to support them.

King Ding lamented that he could not think deeply at his age: "But it is essentially impossible for the court to find a way to solve the land annexation, return the land to the people, and ensure that there is land for the tiller. So. The fatalism that all dynasties cannot survive for three hundred years has begun. If the problem of land annexation is not solved, we can only wait for the people of the world to rise up and overthrow the dynasty. And to solve this problem, we can only wait for the powerful clans to take over this dynasty. The imperial court was overthrown.”

Li Yan nodded silently. This is a dead end.

Resting on his arms, he looked at the sky. The sky was full of white clouds. He said: "The prosperity of the Han Dynasty lies in the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty lies in the chaos of the Five Hus, the prosperity of the Song Dynasty lies in the chaos of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the rise of the Ming Dynasty, and the rise of the Yuan Dynasty. Tyranny. If we want the Ming Dynasty to survive and be reborn, we need to use those bandits to wipe out the powerful landlords and clans in the world. Release the concentrated land for farming, so that the people can have food, clothing, wealth, and the ability to pay taxes. , such a virtuous cycle.”

Li Yan couldn't help but gasp after hearing Lu Mou's arguments. This little guy has such a hot heart. Is he still a normal person?
  Looking at Li Yan's changed expression, Lu Mou smiled helplessly: "You may be dissatisfied with my dark psychological thoughts. But besides this method, is there any other way to continue the Ming Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Yan thought for a long time and finally shook his head: "There is no other way but this."

"The second thing I want to do is to ask the government to stop selling the unowned land and directly contract it to the people like I arranged in Wuxiang."

Li Yan understood this: "Nowadays, those who can afford to buy land are the landlords and gentry. If the land finally obtained is sold, it is equivalent to being annexed again. This method of the prince is good."

Just as he was talking, a guard in Jinyi rushed over to report: "The bandit's grain harvesting team is here."

Lu Mou stood up: "How many troops are there? What types of troops are there?"

"About three hundred, all cavalry." "That's great, no more, no less, just right. I ordered that this time the enemy will not be killed hand-to-hand, but will be dealt with with firearms."

Li Guo's food team was very slack. It was easy, because they had traveled nearly sixty or seventy miles without finding an enemy, not even large groups of common people.

The captured people also admitted that there were no officers and soldiers nearby. At the same time, they also admitted that a big town here had not been robbed yet, so this was a fat man.

The gold, silver and jewels are put into the bag, the grain and grass are handed over, and a group of young and strong troops are gathered together, is it possible to get the best of both worlds?

The official position and power of a rogue bandit all depend on who has more soldiers. The so-called soldiers refer to large numbers of people being coerced.

Everyone has a dream. As long as they pass through the road in the middle of this dense forest, they will reach their destination.

Just as they entered the center of the dense forest, they suddenly heard the sound of a drum, and suddenly countless officers and soldiers covered with leaves and thatch jumped up in the dense forest. Before they could react, countless black eyes stared at each other, and a burst of gunfire sounded like exploding beans. .

The whistling lead bullets covered these three hundred people in the blink of an eye.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, three hundred people passed by and no one was spared. There were no casualties among Lu Mou's men.

Lu Mou cheered happily: "Let's fight like this. Brothers, clean up the battlefield, and tonight we will kill horses and barbecue."

The battlefield must be carefully cleaned without leaving even a drop of blood, because Lu Mou wanted to ambush again here.

"It is common sense among military strategists not to ambush twice in one place." Li Yan objected.

Lu Mou asked with a smile: "Are you giving me advice?"

Li Yan didn't know how to answer. Unknowingly, he had begun to get closer to the captive, and he clearly told himself at that time that he wanted someone to assist him.

After thinking about everything in the past few days, Li Yan finally nodded: "That's right."

Lu Mou clapped his hands: "Then let me tell you, sir, if you think this way, our enemies will think the same way. And as long as I do the opposite, I will definitely succeed. I will also tell you that I know a military god level A man once ambushed the enemy three times in an ancient battlefield and won a complete victory every time."

Lu Mou's name for Li Yan also changed.

I heard that a person with the level of a military god ambushed the enemy three times in a row at the same location and succeeded every time. This is simply a miracle. Li Yan was so happy when he saw Hunter Xin that he quickly asked: "I'm also well-read, why don't I know?"

Lu Mou knew that he had spilled the beans when he was proud, so he pointed his finger at his nose: "I am talking about someone who is about to reach the level of a military god. That is me. I will show you my military talent."
