At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 78, The expectations of the Mo family and the foundation of the rebel army

Chen Xiao's face almost turned into a pimple. In the past, their family only had to pay 10% of the land tax, and the rest was nothing to the Xiang family. The miscellaneous taxes assessed were not collected from them. The tax is one-third of that of ordinary people, but now the Xiang family, like Xu Fan, has to pay tens of thousands of dan more in grain every year.

He wanted to speak out to object, but when he saw his smiling comrades, he understood that his opposition was useless. Even if it was a show of hands, he was still in the minority.

With three measures of grain per acre, Chen County's 2300 million acres of fields can collect 630 million shi of grain. This is almost twice Chen County's previous tax, but the burden on ordinary people has been reduced by half, and the rebels can also feed a huge army. This is the effect of reasonable taxation.

Xu Fan looked at Zhou Zhang and said, "Leave the matter of equalizing the land and publicizing the new taxes of our rebel army to Brother Wen. We must let the people of the entire Chen County know the policy of our rebel army."

Xu Fan has always attached great importance to the propaganda of the rebel policy. After all, in later generations, the press power was known as the fourth estate. Xu Fan knew the power of propaganda.

Zhou Zhang, the long history officer, was in charge of the internal affairs of the entire Chen County, and he was also in charge of the propaganda team. Chen Jun originally had a female concubine, but she was replaced by Xu Fan, and the prostitutes from the female concubine were transformed by Xu Fan into propaganda members of the rebel army, which greatly expanded the number of art troupes of the rebel army.

During this period, five art troupes of the rebel army toured throughout Chen County to perform the opera "Chu Zhaonu", which caused a sensation throughout Chen County. The people of Chen County cursed the cruel Qin officials one after another. There are countless people who defected to the army after watching "Chu Zhaonu". The rebel army was able to quickly rule the entire Chen County and "Chu Zhaonu" contributed a lot.

Zhou Zhang understood that Xu Fan wanted to implement the rebel tax system. He smiled bitterly and said: "Promise!"

Then Xu Fan looked at Ji Xin and said, "You should investigate more about the movements of Chen County during this period. If anyone dares to attack the soldiers' land, they will be severely punished."

Ji Xin said seriously: "No."

Even though Zhou Zhang knew that this matter was very difficult, he still accepted the task. He had to recognize the lord he was looking for.

But he thought for a while and said: "Since the promulgation of the recruitment order, many scholars have joined our rebel army, among which Confucian scholars are the largest. This time the equalization of land is just a test of their abilities."

There are many nobles in Chu State, and most of them like Huang Lao (they don’t want the country to control them). Zhou Zhang is also a Taoist, and he looks down on Confucianism. Of course, Zhou Zhang is not alone in this chain of contempt, but in this competition. In the fierce era, most people looked down on useless Confucianism, but now Juntian really needs the help of some scholars.

Xu Fan fell down and said strangely: "This is not the State of Lu. How come there are so many Confucian scholars."

The Recruitment Order of the Rebel Army has only been issued for more than a month. Even after the people in the world know about the Recruitment Order, it will take some time to come to Chen County. How come the Confucian scholars from Lu State come so quickly?

Zhou Zhang smiled and said: "The great Confucian Confucius lived in Dang County. He was the 8th generation grandson of Confucius. Now Dang County is in a state of war. He may have gone south to hide from the chaos, and hundreds of his students also followed him south, so there are this group of people." Confucian scholar."

Xu Fan was even more surprised and said: "How come the descendants of Confucius live in Dang County if they don't live in Lu."

The Kong family was so famous, but Xu Fan was surprised that the Kong family should not be in Qilu, so why did they come to Wei?

Zhou Zhang shook his head and said: "This subordinate doesn't know. When the First Emperor recruited him to be a doctor, he declined. Instead, he asked his disciple Shusun Tong to serve in the Qin Dynasty. However, after he left Xianyang, he settled in Dang County."

Xu Fan was a little happy about the more than 100 scholars who dropped from the sky. There were too many illiterate soldiers in the rebel army. Even writing the queue regulations had to mostly use pictures to make it easier for the soldiers to understand. The task of scanning codes was a long way to go.

"The ancestors of the Kong family taught and educated people. Since he has joined our rebel army, we will give him a doctorate. After the land is divided, let them educate our soldiers."

Zhou Zhang thought for a while: "My lord, if you want to recruit talents, you can also leave it to Kong Kun. He is well-known, has a wide network, and knows many talents. His subordinates are currently busy with affairs, and they are also busy with land equalization. They are a bit overwhelmed. .”

Xu Fan said: "The recruitment hall will be left to this old gentleman."

Xu Fan continued to ask: "Are there any people from the Mohist family and the Mohist family who have joined our rebel army?" Comparing with Confucianism, Xu Fan wants farmers and Mohists who are practical people more. Farmers can help him realize efficient racial technology for future generations, and nothing else. It is said that just two kinds of rice a year can double Chen County's grain production capacity. Not only can the Mohists quickly come up with inventions in their minds, but they are also military talents.

Zhou Zhang shook his head and said: "There has been very little news about the Mo family since they defected to the Qin State. Farmers rarely appear in Chu. It will take some time for them to get news about our rebels."

Xu Fan was helpless about this, as the rebel army's background was too low.

After the high-level meeting, the rebel soldiers learned that each of them could be allocated 100 acres of land, and all the soldiers cheered.

Most of the people who joined the rebel army were hooligans and tenants who were landless and houseless. Only a small number of yeoman farmers who were afraid of the serial execution system joined the rebel army. Therefore, most of the soldiers in the rebel army wanted to own their own land. This meant that they had established a foothold in this world. foundation. When the rebels began to divide the land, the morale of the rebel soldiers suddenly reached its peak.

Relatively speaking, powerful families with large amounts of land like Jing Yi and Xiang Biao didn't like hearing about this, but they were also secretly dissatisfied with the rebels' division of their own land.

Chen County, Rebel Medical Camp.

Chen Xiu saw Xu Fan and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Xu Fan said: "I'm here to visit the wounded. How are they being treated?"

Chen Xiu was a little disappointed, but still said: "Recovering very quickly, most of them are already healed."

After the capture of Chen County, the wounded soldiers were transferred to Chen County for treatment.

"General, you've come to see us again!" Xu Fan said when the wounded soldiers saw him.

Xu Fan patted the body of a wounded soldier and said with a smile: "Wu Jun, how is your recovery going?"

Xu Fan attaches great importance to the Wounded Barracks and visits once every few days, so he is familiar with the soldiers here.

Wu Jun raised his missing arm and smiled bitterly: "Although his life was saved, he was left disabled."

The soldiers who were slightly injured have returned to the team. Only the seriously injured and disabled soldiers are still here. Although their injuries are better now, these soldiers are relatively confused and scared because they are worried about their future lives. It is very difficult for able-bodied people to live in this era, let alone disabled people like them.

Xu Fan comforted: "You are disabled for the rebels, and we, the rebels, have the obligation to take good care of you. The rebels need a group of trustworthy people to control the countryside of Chen County and convey the policies of our rebels. I wonder if you are willing to become Be honest and help the rebels manage the countryside."

When Wu Jun and others heard this, they said excitedly: "As long as the general doesn't despise us as cripples, we are willing to do it."

Xu Fan looked at Wu Jun and others, they would become the foundation of the rebel army.
