Five hundred thousand military rations, not enough?

The five hundred thousand rations were enough to feed Lu Zhen's four thousand soldiers and horses for a whole year.

The kind that can even feed a war horse!

If this is not enough, Pei Qian really doesn't know what benefits to give.

The other clans also looked at each other in confusion. They suspected that Lu Zhen might have lost his mind and had to go out of the city to fight.

No matter how many benefits you give, it won’t work!

At this time, Liu Xi, who woke up from a coma, asked directly:

"General, do you have to go out of the city to fight? Or do you think we didn’t give enough? Lu

Zhen glanced at him and said nothing.

Seeing this, Pei Qian and others understood: the benefits given were not enough!

Pei Qian was depressed for a while and then asked:

"How about handing over Wenxicheng to the general and letting him appoint the county magistrate and officials at all levels?"

Before, Wenxicheng was handed over to the Pei family for management.

Therefore, all the officials in Wenxicheng were appointed by themselves.

Now, Pei's willingness to hand over the management power is the biggest concession.

Lu Zhen's face Suddenly she looked much better, and she said with a smile:

"It's easy to say, since everyone trusts me so much04, then I naturally can't let you down."

"However, how much land is still under the official jurisdiction of Wenxicheng?"

"To be honest, war kills people, and soldiers’ pension requires money and land."

"Therefore, the fields in Wenxicheng are particularly important."

Pei Qian and others felt their hearts tremble.

Because they were worried: what Lu Zhen wanted was land!

In fact, they had already heard about Lu Zhen's land survey in Anyi City.

The family speculated that he might want to seize it. Land, and even carry out land reform.

I thought that Lu Zhen was only piloting around Anyi City, but I didn't expect that he would also touch Wenxi City!

In fact, the entire Hedong County, that is, Wenxi City and Anyi City are still under the control of the family, and other places Encountered bandits, order was difficult.

Therefore, Lu Zhen took action in these two places, making it clear that he was going to attack the noble families and use the land to reform. But I don't know how Lu Zhen wanted to reform? Or, how much land did he want?

They looked at Pei Qian together, obviously asking him to ask, and Pei Qian said:

"General, how many fields do you need?"

Lu Zhen stretched out a hand and said:

"Five percent!"

Fifty percent?!

Pei Qian and others suddenly changed their expressions, and the noble families spoke one after another:

"Fifty percent? In other words, half of the land in Wenxi City must be handed over? Lu

Zhen became serious, shook his head and said:

"According to official records, Wenxicheng government has 160,000 acres of cultivated land."

"Therefore, in addition to these 160,000 acres, each of your families will hand over half of their land."

This is a complete showdown.

In the eyes of Pei Qian and others, this is the end of the plot but the dagger is revealed!

Liu Xi was the first to stand up. He seemed to want to curse, but when he saw Dian Wei staring at him angrily, he wilted again. , said very unwillingly:

"It’s too much, can it be less?"

Others echoed:

"Yes, our fields are all legally bought and sold, hard-earned."

"Besides, we have a large family to support, and half is too much."

"Our families are willing to give out 300,000 acres, okay?"

Three hundred thousand acres plus 160,000 acres, a total of 460,000 acres, which is a huge amount.

But Lu Zhen still shook his head, because leaving half of the acres for local families was his bottom line!

This was also the reason why he learned from Wang Mang's failure in land reform , and learned lessons and experiences.

He wants to carry out reforms step by step and in stages, so now he only needs half an acre.

But half of the land is a big cut for the family, and it is difficult for them to accept it.

But when the family is filled with righteous indignation, , but Pei Qian seemed very calm.

Because Pei Qian knew that his arms could not hold his thighs.

Now Lu Zhen is in Hedong and has 30,000 elite soldiers, but what about the Hedong family? The Wei family is declining, the Pei family is new, and because of the rebellion of thieves, the strength of the family members Greatly reduced.

Therefore, they are no match for the Lu family at all.

What's more, this time Lu Zhen also threatened to send thieves south. To put it harshly, they are just fish and meat on the chopping block.

Even if Lu Zhen takes away all the land, they can't resist.

Therefore, Pei Qian agreed after being silent:

"The Pei family owns 300,000 acres of land in Wenxi City." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Willing to give half!"

With Pei Qian taking the lead, other aristocratic clans at the scene gradually calmed down and agreed with difficulty.

A rough estimate is that the acres donated by the aristocratic clans are 600,000 acres.

Of course, Lu Zhen knew that there would be more, so he reminded:

"I'll give you another chance. Go back today and sort out your fields. Give me the numbers tomorrow."

"After you report it, I will also liquidate the acres. If there is any concealment, all will be confiscated!"

Everyone's face turned pale when they heard this.

Lu Zhen didn't talk nonsense to them and waved people away.

After everyone left, Pei Qian stayed.

Lu Zhen had a good impression of Pei Qian. After all, the young man took the lead just now. Donation, and he had military merit before.

Therefore, Lu Zhen was very polite to him and said:

"Sir, have something to say?"

Pei Qian didn't talk nonsense and said directly:

"How does the general carry out land reform?"

Lv Zhen didn't hide it, because he felt that Pei Qian, like Wei Qian, was one of the rare knowledgeable people in the family who could be won over.

"Land is state-owned, buying and selling is prohibited, and annexation is prevented."

Lü Zhen's words stunned Pei Qian.

A well-educated man like Pei Qian naturally understood that land annexation was the main reason for the demise of the dynasty.

And Lü Zhen's direct attack on the land hit the point, which also shows his wisdom.

And Pei Qian Seeing his determination to reform shows his love for this land.[]

This made Pei Qian admire him even more.

In fact, Pei Qian has been looking for a way to save the dynasty.

Perhaps Lu Zhen is his like-minded person.

For this reason, Pei Qian asked again:

"The general chose Hedong to carry out land reform, right? It was because the families in Hedong were weak, right?"

"Moreover, most of the areas east of Hedong have fallen. After the general recovers the land, he can directly confiscate the land."

"Then the resistance to land reform will be much smaller."

"But what about outside Hedong County? What method does the general intend to use? Lu

Zhen had already considered this and said:

"Half of the land was collected and returned to the state, and half was kept by the family."

Pei Qian asked again:

"What’s next?"

Pei Qian believed that Lu Zhen must have follow-up measures. He would not let the noble families from all over the country keep so many fields.

Lu Zhen did not hide anything and said calmly:

"push order"
