Chapter 818 818: Yun Ce is back [Please give me a monthly ticket]
The common people in troubled times are like rootless duckweed, unable to withstand the slightest wind and rain. In addition, some people have rumored that the enemy''s troops are several times more powerful than themselves, so the already worried common people are even more panicked. They lack food, but no matter how short of food, they can live for a few more days when they run away. If they stay in place and wait for the enemy cavalry to step on them, they will not even have the chance to survive.
So, some common people ran away overnight.
The neighbors all ran away, and the rest also wanted to run away.
There were more people running away, and fewer people working in the fields. The people in charge of the farmland realized that something was wrong and hurriedly reported it to the report, and the patrol soldiers also caught a group of them. Judging from their burdens and family-friendly attitude, how can they not understand?
The soldier said angrily: "Where are you going?"
What should you do if you don’t stay in a safe place at this time and run around? Do you really think that you can escape with all your belongings and be safe and smooth along the way? Which of the wild beasts in nature or the bandits who fell into the grass and became bandits is not enough for them to drink a pot?
The soldier''s emotions fell in the eyes of the fleeing commoners, but they seemed to be thundering. The man in the lead hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy and let go.
They are willing to trade their wealth and property for a way out!
Soldiers plundering refugees is the norm in troubled times.
The patrol soldiers were kneeling down and their faces were pale. Their team leader''s first reaction was to take two steps back and distance themselves from the man, as if they were not to mess with the car; the second reaction was to look around the soldiers, for fear that they would be reported by them.
Chen Tang''s early military management style was thunderous.
Set the red line, whoever touches will get the military stick.
As the scale of troops expands rapidly, the style has been changed.
Change to boil the frog in warm water! While heating, observe, gradually increase the firepower and test the soldiers'' acceptance ability bit by bit to avoid being too strict and causing rebellion. Among them, soldiers are strictly prohibited from bullying and humiliating common people, and soldiers are prohibited from asking for bribes from common people in various ways. The whistleblower can report secretly. Once verified, you can get double benefits for violators and remember one merit!
This can also eliminate the problem of soldiers covering up each other after they divide the spoils. Although there are certain loopholes in execution and sometimes it will cause mutual suspicion among some soldiers, overall, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and eliminate evil deeds to the greatest extent.
"This is what you want to kneel down by yourself, but I didn''t ask you to kneel down, and I didn''t push you, beat you, scold you, and scold you." The team leader was ten feet away from the man, and he pointed at the other party and shouted, "You, stand up and talk! Don''t frame me-"
The man who knelt down and begged for mercy was also stunned for a moment.
Looking at their group of more than 30 people, the team leader had a headache.
In an era when wars continue and refugees run around, there are only dozens or hundreds of people in a village, and half of the village has run away! He asked loudly, "Which village are you from?"
The man still honestly explained.
The team leader thought about it and took the person away with a wave of his hand.
This incident came to Chen Tang without any surprise.
Luan Xin received a report from the minor officials in the morning that the common people working in farmland had dropped sharply. He told his lord that the army reported that a group of fleeing common people had been caught. Chen Tang, who checked the soldiers'' preparations, had a question mark on his head.
"What? Have you fled to the villages near Liguan?" Chen Tang''s first reaction was that the enemy''s erwuzi planted him and secretly made trouble. "Is anyone spreading rumors? Could it be that Huang Xiguang and Zhang Yongqing were inserted into him?"
The battle has not started yet, and my family is about to run away.
This is definitely the enemy''s conspiracy!
Luan Xin: "Xin was so worried. He took someone to catch the source of the rumors. After interrogating, he realized that he was an ordinary person..."
Chen Tang sneered: "Will ordinary people mess with me like this?"
She preconceived the crime on Huang Lie.
Spreading rumors, shaking people''s hearts and scaring away the common people, the Yumai that she spent a lot of effort was scrapped, so vicious!
"In order to ensure the authenticity of the confession, the interrogation was used, and the content was very similar to what they explained." As he said that, Luan Xin smiled helplessly, "According to their explanations, some were to show off, some were to gain the recognition of the villagers, and some were to be purely jealous of other families'' good farmland, so he thought that they were scared away and could harvest and take over the jade wheat after a bumper harvest."
Chen Tang: “…”
I have a lot of thoughts.
She rubbed her sore forehead and ordered: "Justice, send people to various villages to comfort me, and control the rumors to continue to spread. Although the spy who have not been caught in the trap, there are no guarantees. Hold on to this, grab one and kill one!"
The power of rumors is no less than that of the twenty-sixth-class Chehou!
Once you lose control, it will cause irreversible consequences!
Chen Tang showed unprecedented importance and Luan Xin was deeply concerned. What the two of them did not expect was that sending people to comfort them was counterproductive. The common people not only did not feel at ease, but also ran away overnight but increased. If it weren''t for the increased patrol and interception, there might be only three or two kittens left in a village. The news was delivered to Chen Tang, and the more she looked at it, the more confused she became: "How did you comfort me?"
Seeing that the lord was held accountable, the official in charge of the matter shrank his head.
He presented a book with both hands.
The soldiers all read the script according to the above words.
Chen Tang opened it and saw nothing wrong.
It is nothing more than telling the common people that their own troops are strong and their troops are strong, and their generals are wide. The enemy people are all in their hearts and lack clothing and food. It is a matter of time before they can conquer them. The common people can farm here with peace of mind without running away. They will wait for a bumper harvest this fall.
Chen Tang''s lips tightly pursed, making people feel uneasy. She said, "It''s because I''m not worried, you can add another one."
The official branch had his ears: "Please speak with lord."
Chen Tang stretched out three fingers and said, "For three years, there will be no land tax, no agricultural tools rent, and free grain supply. If you don''t come back, the ownerless jade wheat field will be rented to those who will not leave. This will not work, then I really have no choice."
The man was almost stunned when he heard this.
He asked hesitantly: "Master, are you sure that''s the case?"
Chen Tang said, "Yes, just do it."
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Chasing for profit is an instinct rooted in people''s bones. For ordinary people who make a living by making land, nothing is more attractive than exempting taxes. Chen Tang not only exempted the three-year land tax, but also saved money from renting farm tools and purchasing grain. This means that in the past three years, you will be planted by your own!
If Yumai can achieve the yield per mu that was promoted at the beginning, their whole family will be much better in the next few years, at least they will not worry about starving to death! Mr. Shen dared to make such a heavy promise, which shows the fullness of confidence. Enough for them to take a gamble!
Many people have suffered from escaping.
How to choose between the risks of escape and the benefits left behind? Hesitation for a second is a blasphemy to a good day! The common people who set out on the road to escape heard the wind and ran back with their families, fearing that they would lose their benefits if they came too late.
This storm was calmed before it even formed.
Chen Tang couldn''t help but sigh when he received the news.
"It''s just that I''m exempting three years of taxes, and renting farm tools and purchasing grains can''t cost much money, but it can make them bet on their lives and take root here... Life in troubled times is like grass, alas..." Chen Tang sighed and summed up the book with the message.
Lu Ji, who helped Chen Tang sort out the desk, looked up and cared about it.
"Why did the lord sigh?"
Chen Tang said, "Don''t Zhizong feel pitiful?"
Lu Ji blinked in confusion and wondered: "Why are you pitiful? Isn''t it a good thing they should be happy to meet a lord as lord as his lord and be exempted from three years of taxes?"
She led people to several villages to announce the good news. Many common people were so excited that they burst into tears. The elderly man knelt on the ground and shouted that his lord was born with purple stars. A benevolent monarch who treats the common people like this will be blessed in this life!
I fainted in an emotional state.
But her lord was depressed, she didn''t understand.
Chen Tang said, "It''s only been three years."
Lu Ji was confused: "Three years...it''s been a lot. With these three years of exemption from tuition, all the children in the family can live two more."
Children are usually prone to death at the first age.
Once you grow up, your survival rate will be high. Living an extra child for a family means that one more labor force will greatly increase the chance of survival.
Chen Tang said helplessly and compassionately: "It is worth gambled with your life for three years... The sect is a very sad thing. It marks the price of human life in another way."
Lu Ji still wondered, isn’t this very normal? Human life is like grass, it is not just a saying, and the lives of common people are not worth the past three years. But the lord has his own lord''s principles. If she could understand what the lord was thinking, she would probably not be far from leaving the master.
After a while, she heard her lord murmuring over there: "If the land tax can be exempted forever..."
Lu Ji''s heart skipped a beat, his expression was like a ghost.
"Master, don''t-"
This is not realistic at all!
The common people under their rule did not pay the land tax, and the government offices in the area went on strike directly, and they were starved to death, let alone support a large number of troops.
Chen Tang smiled and said, "Don''t be so nervous."
She is just thinking about it now.
The land tax is the top priority and cannot be exempted forever. At least, her thoughts are fantasy before there are no other stable sources of economic resources to supply the government and military spending. This fairy tale will not be realized until a long time later.
Memories of the past life flashed through Chen Tang''s mind.
Alas, at least it would do the same in the previous life.
Before this, the land tax that could be maintained under the rule was not high, and no other heavy taxes were imposed, and the tax was not a name, and it was probably possible that it would win a very high evaluation in future generations. It''s extremely difficult to do this alone, let alone cancel it.
Chen Tang put away his unrealistic thoughts.
Use the sunlight leaking from the window to handle official business.
Before we knew it, the sun had already turned to the west.
The last book was sent by Wu Xian.
Chen Tang entered a state of preparation for war, and Wu Xian, as an ally, also mobilized his whole body. His troops, horses, food and grass were all ready, and he could set off just by giving an order. Of course, all this is going on quietly so that the enemy can not be found out.
She finished reading carefully and responded with a pen.
Speaking of Wu Xian, he thinks of Qin Li. When he thinks of Qin Li, he thinks of Zhao Feng. Chen Tang is active in thinking and asks Lu Ji: "Zhizong, have you received news of Yuan Mou''s return?"
Following my fingers to calculate the time.
According to Yunce''s course and work efficiency, he should have come back in the past two days unless he encounters any twists and turns on the road, such as delaying his time when he settled in that family. However, Chen Tang was not worried. With Yun Ce''s strength, no one in the rear could stop him. She was afraid that she would alarm Wu Xian, alarm the enemy, and affect Qin Li and the others to change jobs.
Lu Ji said: "Not yet."
Chen Tang sighed, "Wait a little longer."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.
On the way to eat, Chen Tang met Yun Ce, who was covered in dust. The young man, like ice and snow, frowned at this moment, and he looked a little bitter. The latter did not notice her, and Chen Tang had a teasing thought and summoned a blue bird with his fingers.
The bluebird''s body is infinitely close to the ball.
A **** pressed on his shoulder.
Yun Ce was surprised: "Whose blue bird?"
He didn''t deal with scholar Wen Xin, and he received messages from Blue Birds counted at a time, let alone such a fat bird!
Opened, the flower paper of a man was filled with five words [Yun Ce looked back]. He turned his head in confusion, and the smiley face of the lord directly caught his eye: "Why is Yuan Mou looking worried? When did he come back? He won''t report."
She has been waiting for the good news for a long time.
Yun Ce''s eyelids trembled, and the bitter melon became heavier.
Chen Tang worried, "Didn''t you receive someone?"
If so, how can I explain to Zhao Feng?
"Ce came here to find his lord-" The lord always said [I am not active in eating, I have a brain problem]. When the meal arrives, I go straight to the canteen and never work overtime. Yunce will definitely fail to find it when he goes to the government affairs department to find it. However, the closer he gets to the canteen, the smaller his steps, and his mind is entangled, "Oh, lord, lord, lord really doesn''t know how to report it to lord."
I have been writing all the way back.
Euphemistic, straightforward, discarded one after another.
Chen Tang curled his smile and said seriously: "Tell me the truth!"
"There will be a lord who will be imprisoned for the bus. Please give me a penalty!" Yun Ce suddenly shouted, alarming other soldiers looking back frequently. Yun Ce felt something was wrong after he came back to his senses and blushed. Chen Tang pulled him up and talked in detail in another place.
Then-
Then nothing happened!
Chen Tang slapped the stones in the corner into powder!
"You said - one person died of dysfunction, and two people were forced to commit suicide? That family is just a small one?"
Yun Ce nodded: "I dare not have a word false!"
Chen Tang naturally would not believe Yun Ce''s words.
She just didn''t expect Tianhai to be so arrogant and used dirty means to force the soldiers and generals to death. Even if this family is from outside, wouldn''t others feel scared? The young and strong family at home fought desperately on the battlefield for Wu Xian, and the family behind him suffered this humiliation. Are you not afraid of mutiny and chaos? Or is it that people are used to being superior and do not take many risks seriously?
"Wu Zhaode, Wu Zhaode, you didn''t suffer much in the hands of Huang Xiguang and the others. I didn''t expect that you would fall so much in your own people! If you knew that the imbalance under the account would turn into such a situation, would you regret not being able to do anything?"
At this moment, Chen Tang felt a little sympathetic to Wu Xian.
Chen Tang confirmed again: "Can the child be properly placed?"
"It has been handed over to the magistrate of Heyin County Xu Wenzhu."
Chen Tang felt a little relieved.
She is relieved to Xu Jie''s character.
If he was unreliable, he would not have handed over the hard-working Heyin County to him back then. Zhao Feng''s family still has a trace of blood left, which is not too regretful. However, Chen Tang also had the same worries as Yun Ce. How should he speak?
Why did you speak to Zhao Feng and others who were full of expectations?
