Han Dao world

Chapter 254
Hu Chuquan was attracted by the treasured sword and watched it with relish.

Yang Biao felt his scalp go numb.

The emperor's murderous intent is very strong, if he is not allowed to go to Meiji, if he is really killing in Hedong, this new year will be too unlucky.

The more Yang Biao thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He found an excuse, left the imperial camp, and went straight to the prefect's mansion.

When he passed the Anyi County Temple, he stopped to take a look.

There were two cars parked in front of the door, and a few old men stood beside the car, chatting together.

Seeing Yang Biao approaching, they stopped and bowed in salute.Before Yang Biao walked away, they resumed their lazy appearance, leaning against the car and chatting.

Yang Biao was in no mood to pay attention to them, turned and left, and heard a few words from a distance.

"Who is that old man? Looks like an official."

"I don't know them, they are all beggars."

The attendant beside Yang Biao was immediately annoyed, and turned around to find an explanation, but Yang Biao stopped him.

Yang Biao looked down at his clothes.

The imperial court has not paid a salary for several years, and he has no money to buy new official uniforms, so he wears ordinary clothes when he is not working.He had just been moved to Dahonghe recently, and he couldn't wear the official uniform of the former Taiwei.

"I look like a beggar?"

The servant's face flushed with anger. "These slaves in the east of the river, who have eyes but no eyes, should be killed."

Yang Biao looked at the attendants. "You think so?"

The attendant was startled, and immediately said: "Mr. Yang, I am not the only one who thinks this way, many people think so."

Yang Biao sighed, turned and left, and walked faster.

When he came to the prefect's mansion, Yang Biao went straight into the atrium.Xun Yu was sending the two of them to the hall, when he saw that Yang Biao's expression was not right, he signaled his subordinates not to bring anyone in for the time being, and personally led Yang Biao to the hall.

"Mr. Yang, what's the matter?"

"The Son of Heaven wants to conquest Meiji himself, do you know?"

Xun Yu looked puzzled. "Isn't this just decided the day before yesterday? Mr. Yang, you also suggested that the Northern Army enter Taiyuan..."

"Your Majesty will set off before the year."

Xun Yu was stunned, thought for a while, and then said: "It seems that the Son of Heaven has discovered the opportunity to fight."

Yang Biao looked at Xun Yu in surprise. "Wen Ruo, the new year is approaching, the emperor, the ancestor worship, and the suburban ceremonies are all indispensable. At this time, we will go to war..."

Xun Yu looked at Yang Biao, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

"Duke Yang, the Xiongnu's rebellion will not only threaten the safety of Hedong, but it may also echo Jizhou. If it cannot be defeated as soon as possible, the entire Bingzhou will be ruled, and the imperial court will only have Hedong. How many years can it last?"

Yang Biao stared at Xun Yu, was silent for a while, nodded, and got up to leave.

"Wen Ruo, I understand. Extraordinary things must be treated by extraordinary people. We are all old, and whether the big man can be prosperous again depends on your younger generations."

"Mr. Yang's words, forgive me for not agreeing." Xun Yu stretched out his hand to stop Yang Biao. "Mr. Yang raised his voice, and everyone responded. It is comparable to the efforts of your son Dezu for several months. Although the younger generation is motivated, they cannot do without the advice of the old minister. To tell you the truth, Mr. Yang, I am going to ask you for advice."

"Are you asking me for advice?" Yang Biao laughed at himself, "Aren't you afraid of being misled by me?"

Xun Yu laughed and pulled Yang Biao back to his seat. "Mr. Yang, practicing the kingly way is not my responsibility alone, but the long-cherished wish of the entire Confucian school. But everyone in the Confucian school should do their part. The Hongnong Yang family passed down the scriptures to the family, and the four generations of important ministers, how can it be?" Can you stay out of it?"

"Okay, tell me." Yang Biao laughed. "What can stop you, Wang Zuozhi?"

Xun Yu put away his smile.

The Son of Heaven handed over Hadong to him, and specified that everyone in the [-] households could live and work in peace and contentment, which was hard for him.

It is actually not difficult for everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, as long as the taxes are light and the corvees are light.

Although the loss of household registration in Hedong is not as serious as it appears on the books, there is no doubt that there is surplus arable land.Not to mention the re-registration of the Baibo army, even if tens of thousands of Huns were captured after a year, Hedong would be able to accommodate them.

But it is difficult to support the imperial court, especially tens of thousands of troops.

The output of the land is limited. If the tax revenue is low, it will not be able to support the court and the army.With too much income, it is impossible to talk about living and working in peace and contentment.

Because of this matter, Xun Yu couldn't eat well or sleep well these days.

In desperation, he had to ask Yang Biao for advice.

Yang Biao rolled his eyes. "Has Liu Ba been here?"

Xun Yu's eyes flashed. "Did Yang ask him for something?"

"I'm not looking for him. I just think that you should have discussed it with him before you came to me. If you have an idea, but you can't make up your mind, you will discuss it with me."

Xun Yu clapped his hands and smiled. "Mr. Yang is wise."

"Hmph! This little trick of yours is all left over from our back then." Yang Biao curled his lips. "Tell me about your plans."

Xun Yu smiled. "Does Yang Gong still remember Zhao Qing and his son?"

"of course I remember."

"After Zhao Qing and his son, more than a thousand households successively came to donate food and join the army. In fact, most of them have no experience in fighting, but there are many young and strong. If they can stay and train, they will be able to do so in less than three years. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

Yang Biao's heart skipped a beat. "Are you going to turn the Baibo army into a military base?"

"Does Yang Gong think it's feasible?"

Yang Biao didn't speak, but there was excitement in his eyes.

Xun Yu's plan is good, if it can be implemented, Hedong will have at least [-] to [-] stable troops, and it will not require capital from the court.

Even better, this plan does not touch the roots of the Hedong clan, will not trigger group resistance, and resettles the common people who have lost their land.

For the generals of the Baibo Army, as long as they can get enough land, a little bit of hard work is acceptable.

Compared with occupying mountains and falling grass, this kind of life is much more stable.

"If it's a military settlement, how much rent will you charge?"

"Since it is an army station, it naturally does not collect rent or tax. But for the convenience of transfer, the military rations need to be stored in a centralized manner, which is tentatively set at tithe."

Yang Biao sneered: "So, you still hope to take the household registration from the Hedong family?"

Xun Yu smiled but did not answer.

The imperial court’s fixed land rent was tithe, but ordinary people actually paid much more than the tithe, so most of them barely survived.Once there is any natural or man-made disaster, there is no other way but to sell the land.

The proportion of the general's food collection is set at one tithe, and there is no extra charge. Ordinary people can accept it and welcome it.

But for the big clan, this is a bit troublesome.

Rents collected by hermit households accepted by the rich are usually ten-fifths, maybe even ten-six or even seven-tenths. As a part, those people do not live easily, but they are powerless to resist that’s all.If the imperial court promoted military settlements in Hedong, a large number of hermits would choose to leave the big clan and become military settlement households.

The big clan will definitely not be willing to let people go, conflicts are inevitable.

At this time, the prefect's mansion can come forward.

Without trilogy and hidden households, the big clan simply has no strength to fight against the prefect's mansion with [-] to [-] strong men.

Yang Biao sighed and pointed at Xun Yu. "Wen Ruo, the younger generation is awesome. I'm just worried, what will the elders of Yingchuan think of you when the Guandong is recovered in the future."

"Did Yang not object?" Xun Yu asked back.

Hongnong is separated from Hedong by a river.Since Hedong is feasible, so is Hongnong.

"My Yang family didn't annex the fertile land, and secondly, didn't take in hermits. Why should I object?" Yang Biao shook his sleeves and walked away. "You just let go and do it. I will bear the infamy, and I will report it when I go back."

Xun Yu got up and bowed to Yang Biao's back. "Thank you, Mr. Yang."
