Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 2053 The Innocent Woman 15
In the end, Li Xiu could only ask people to draw the appearance of the old fairy as Lu said, and told his subordinates that if they saw such an old man, they must report it to him. Can you invite the other party to come out to help you, or give you some pointers.

An Ran knew that Li Xiu was interested in the Old Immortal, after all, if she hadn't, Zhang Tiezhu would not have asked about the Old Immortal again and again, and even asked about his appearance, but An Ran was not worried about telling Li Xiu about the Old Immortal What will happen, so it is natural to tell the truth-of course, it is not about the intelligent robot, but only the appearance of the old fairy in the eyes of outsiders-anyway, there is no need to worry about Li Xiu finding the old fairy, she situation will be exposed.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the time when Li Xiu was about to be defeated.

By this point in time, An Ran's power had already grown extremely large - she had built a total of fifteen bastions in the mansion where Pingyuan Town was located, and several neighboring mansions.

Moreover, the prefectures she chose were all areas with high grain production in the past. Now the weather has gradually returned to normal, and everyone is resuming production. It is expected that when Li Xiu is defeated, she will rescue him. , and the food she hoarded during this period, self-sufficiency is completely fine, and there is even surplus food to recruit more manpower to guard and counterattack the possible encirclement by the imperial court, and continue to expand the territory. After all, it is a high-yielding area of ​​grain. It will definitely exceed what you can use.

In these prefectures, she has implemented policies such as dividing land, state-owned land, and prohibiting land sales, so as to prevent the land from being concentrated again. In the end, the peasants who lost their land could not survive and had to revolt in order to survive. government, it is still very easy to implement, because the rest here are all poor people, and the rich left early.

And these people don't need to pay taxes, all the things she grows are her own, and she doesn't collect a grain of grain or a penny of tax.

Although her current source of income is mainly to counteract the income brought by other forces, the commercial tax only accounts for a small part of it, but soon the weather will return to normal, and business will become more and more prosperous, and it will be fine to collect commercial tax at that time , With the commercial tax, what do the common people need to do with the little agricultural tax, and it will increase the burden on the government in the future, after all, tax collection and storage always need manpower.

She has now gradually got someone to help her manage various affairs, and this manpower comes from those children who have been in school for three years.

The textbooks these children learn are also compiled by An Ran according to some modern subjects, and the content is ready-made-she has compiled it in other mission worlds before, and now she can use it without re-editing-and let Those who can read teach the children.

Children who have studied for three years now, as long as they have a little foundation before, and then learn the textbooks she edited, they are almost at the level of elementary school or junior high school graduates. It is enough to deal with simple affairs. As long as you can read and understand the management work, you can handle it.

Basically, every time she expands the scope of the prefectures she manages, the people will soon live without starving to death. Now that the weather has returned to normal, the better it is, the more the people treat her, I am still satisfied, after all, no one has ever been an emperor before, who did not collect any taxes from the common people. Those emperors not only collected taxes, but also served corvee. Anran also repaired bridges and roads here, but Anran paid them to do it. , because there is no food, so every time An Ran spends food to invite people to do these things, some people sign up enthusiastically, and they do a good job. They are afraid of being lazy and slippery.

An Ran also deliberately took advantage of the weather before it returned to normal, and asked everyone to repair bridges and repair roads. After all, just spending a little food at this moment can make everyone work, which is much less than after the weather returns to normal. At the same time, it can guarantee the most basic survival needs of everyone, so that people can have food to eat and survive, which is a win-win situation.

Therefore, in the past three years, the water conservancy, bridges, and roads in several prefectures under Anran's rule have been repaired very well. Now the weather has returned to normal, and the major reservoirs and ditches will soon play a role. , Reservoirs and ditches cannot be used at all because of the drought for too long.

The improvement of these water conservancy facilities also made it easier for the common people to farm and cultivate the land, and the common people were also very satisfied with Anran in this regard.

Of course, what is more satisfying is to divide the fields.

Since the rest are poor people, basically no family had three acres of land for one person before, but now each person is divided into three acres of land, and there is no tax. If you plant it, it is your own. Naturally, everyone is happy, so everyone has a field. Now that the weather has returned to normal, everyone can't wait to lie in the fields from morning to night to tend the crops. Everyone wants to grow the most food.

However, because each person has only three acres of land, those families with a large population, especially those with more adults, cannot afford so many people to farm. Do things in some factories you opened to earn extra income.

When there was no food in the past, they only gave food. Now that the weather has returned to normal, everyone gradually has food, so they changed to paying wages. This wage is a lot, at least more than farming, and it is very attractive. Few people come to work. After all, the family can have an extra income. Who would not want to, so that all the people under An Ran's rule will go to farm, and there is not even a worker.

Of course, not only the surplus labor force from the population, but also those who don’t like farming. After all, it’s impossible for everyone to love farming. These people are also an important source of manpower for Enron.

Because there was food, manpower to manufacture equipment, weapons and other supplies, and manpower to manage affairs under the administration, all arrangements were basically on the right track, so Anron was not very worried about the coming crisis.

The general who defeated Li Xiu was naturally not an ordinary person, and he was very cautious in fighting, but no matter how cautious the opponent was in his own bastion, it would be useless unless he had ten times as many troops to attack.

If there was only one bastion, it would still be possible to attack with ten times the force, but she now has several mansions in her territory, and it would be impossible to attack with ten times the force, because she can dispatch troops from other places to rescue the siege.

Don't think that you can surround the points to fight for aid. When her bastion was designed for cross-rescue, the method of surrounding points and attacking aid does not apply to her docks.

First of all, the basis of the siege and aid is that the besieged object has been besieged for a long time and will not be able to survive without food. However, in these bastions of hers, the food is basically self-sufficient. A few years is not a problem, the main reason is that I am afraid that ten times the force will attack me, and no matter how strong the defense of the bastion is, it will not be able to withstand it.

In this way, if the enemy besieged the bastion and dispatched troops from other places to fight, it would only cause the enemy to be beaten and lose continuously, but the besieged bastion would be fine.
