Robbers in the martial arts world

Chapter 163 Preparing for Reform
"Come on! Get Zhang Yang!" Xiao Yun ordered Dian Wei beside him.

Zhang Yang only had the strength at the early stage of the Three Flowers Gathering the Top Realm, so Xiao Yun didn't let Dian Wei make a move just now, and he hadn't fought anyone for a long time, so he personally tested Zhang Yang's strength!

"Here!"

Dian Wei clapped his hands in response, and then he appeared in front of Zhang Yang in a flash. With a palm, Zhang Yang changed drastically, but he didn't even have a chance to dodge. Got it!
The faces of Dong Zhao, Sui Gu and all the officials in the hall changed, and they couldn't help being afraid of the young state shepherd who had just taken office. The other party was young, but he was so sophisticated and skilled in handling things. It was obvious that Zhang Yang was being killed to make an example of others!

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office, but Xiao Yun's fire is too hot!
I'm afraid that Ding Yuan's three letters were also the fault of the other party, but after seeing Xiao Yun's methods, who among the civil and military officials below would dare to be troublesome?
After Xiao Yunli's prestige frightened these officials, he began to assign manpower to each county and counties, and asked for detailed statistics of all the population of the entire Bingzhou.

For Zhang Yang, Dong Zhao, and Sui Gu's positions as county guards, Xiao Yun directly sent a few of his recruits from poor families to fill them.

Xiao Yun will definitely not let go of the soldiers and horses in each county. After leaving tens of thousands of garrison troops in each county, the remaining troops are all forcibly taken over. Xiao Yun has more than 60 elite soldiers in his hands. With the iron cavalry, no sheriff dared to openly resist.

After receiving the troops from 98 counties in the nine prefectures of Bingzhou, Xiao Yun found that the total troops in his hands had reached more than 160 million, which shocked him immediately!

When he was in Shuofang County, he had already recruited more than 30 recruits. Adding the 38 troops he brought back from Luoyang, there were already more than 60, and each county also had more than [-] garrison troops.

Especially in Taiyuan County, when Ding Yuan left, there were 20 troops left, and now all of them were drawn and incorporated by Xiao Yun, which allowed him to have a strong force of 160 million at once.

This strength sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much. With the huge area of ​​Bingzhou, we must always guard against the Huns. Once they are scattered to the various border defense lines, the 160 million troops will not be much!
Moreover, in the face of the coming chaos of the Three Kingdoms, Xiao Yun didn't have any extra troops to fight for the Central Plains, besides, since ancient times, political power has always emerged from the barrel of a gun.

For this reason, Xiao Yun started recruiting new soldiers again. He planned to expand the total force to 300 million when the eighteen princes crusade against Dong Zhuo, so that he could not only deal with the alien threat from the prairie at any time, but also have spare power Several surrounding states can be invaded.

Especially when the total population of Bingzhou was counted, Xiao Yun felt that 300 million troops were nothing to the huge population of Bingzhou!
According to statistics, Bingzhou now has a population of about 6000 million. This is due to the fact that the imperial court has not paid much attention to Bingzhou in recent years, which has led to repeated invasions of the frontier by foreign races, and bandits have caused a large loss of population in Bingzhou. Otherwise, the entire Bingzhou The population of Bingzhou is at least over [-] million!
According to the records in the document, when the Han Empire was at its most prosperous, the entire Bingzhou had a population of nearly [-] million. What a terrifying number!

More than 160 million troops, more than half of them are cavalry, this makes Zhao Zilong, Zhang Jai, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong and others under Xiao Yun's command very happy, they can finally show their abilities!

Xiao Yun sent Zhao Zilong to command 30 cavalry to garrison Shuofang County, Zhang Jai to command 20 cavalry to garrison Yanmen County, and Tai Shici to command 20 cavalry to garrison Shang County.

These three counties are adjacent to the grassland alien races, and they are always in danger of being invaded by alien races. By sending Zhao Zilong, Zhang Jai, and Tai Shici to station them, Xiao Yun can develop the state's economy with peace of mind!
Of the remaining 90 troops, except for the 20 left to guard Taiyuan County, the remaining 70 troops were led by Huang Zhong to suppress bandits everywhere. Xiao Yun absolutely does not allow bandits and robbers to exist on his territory. .

Then Xiao Yun took Jinyang City as his ruling center, and brought Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Princess Xiangxiang, and the families of his generals to Jinyang City from Shuofang City.

……

In Jinyang City, in a pavilion in the backyard of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Xiao Yun gathered Huo Qingtong, Wanwan, Shi Qingxuan, Lu Qiling, and Princess Xiangxiang together, and wanted them to get to know each other.

The five girls all look like immortals, with comparable appearance and temperament, just like spotless fairies!

Shi Qingxuan's temperament is pure and refined, she doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, she has a beautiful face, she is ashamed of the moon, she is ashamed of flowers, she has a gentle and elegant personality, elegant and dignified. Undisputed tranquility and elegance, with a heart-pounding temperament and elegance.

Wanwan, as a demon girl from the Demon Sect, is extremely intelligent and surly, like an elf from the deepest darkness, and like a rose with thorns, her appearance is seductive and charming, she is extremely beautiful, her scheming is extremely vicious, but she dares to love and hate emotionally .

Huo Qingtong and Lu Qiling are somewhat similar in personality, they both like military affairs, and in appearance, there is a heroic spirit in the beauty of the two women, radiant and heroic, and they are not inferior to men.

Princess Xiangxiang is pure and jade-clean, absolutely brilliant, her skin is as thick as fat, and her skin is as white as snow. Her personality is innocent, pure and flawless, and she has a fairy spirit.

When the five girls gather together, it is like a hundred flowers blooming, as if all the spirits in the whole world have gathered on them, they look so dazzling, like a beautiful picture, it is estimated that any man will feel a little bit of admiration when he sees them read.

It can be said that Xiao Yun has five such confidante friends is a blessing from the third generation, he should be happy and proud, but when he gathered the five girls together, Xiao Yun regretted it!
Although the girls were talking and laughing, they seemed to be very kind and friendly, but Xiao Yun felt a strong smell of gunpowder, especially the girls would glance at him from time to time, and the meaningful eyes looked at Xiao Yun. Comfortable.

"Ahem, er... have you guys finished chatting? I have something to tell you!" Xiao Yun saw the girls chatting endlessly, so he interrupted hastily.

The girls stopped talking after hearing Xiao Yun's words. Qi Qi looked over, the air froze instantly, and Xiao Yun suddenly felt cold all over.

"What's the matter?" Wanwan asked calmly.

"Now you all have a better understanding of this world, and I have already controlled the entire Bingzhou. I want to carry out a reform. Can you help me refer to it to see if it is feasible?" Xiao Yun rubbed his nose and said awkwardly.

"Oh, if our officer Xiao has any thoughts, why don't you let us know?" Wanwan glanced at Xiao Yun and said calmly.

Xiao Yun heard Wanwan's tone of voice, and knew that the girls were still jealous of each other and angry with him, but the girls knew the importance of important matters!

"First, I want to implement land reform. There must be a limit on how many acres of land each household owns. If it exceeds, more taxes will be paid as a punishment. And every household must grow crops on the land owned by it. , Don't let the fields lie there!

"The land reclaimed by farmers can be exempted from tax to a certain extent, so as to encourage farmers to develop more wasteland, and the families of soldiers can be exempted from part of the tax! If a soldier has made contributions, he can also reward the farmland. Get a pension, and you can also reduce part of the tax! What do you think?" Xiao Yun looked at the girls and asked.

"That's right, the policy is very good, but your land reform will damage the interests of the aristocracy, you have to be prepared and be careful of them making trouble!" Huo Qingtong looked at Xiao Yun and said seriously.

"The reason why I chose Bingzhou as my foundation at the beginning was because the power of the aristocratic families in Bingzhou was weak, which was conducive to some of my reforms!" Xiao Yun smiled slightly.

"With your current strength, the noble families in Bingzhou can't afford to make any big waves, but if you implement this policy, then all the noble families in the world will not support you! They will probably stand on the opposite side of you. It will have a great impact on your subsequent competition in the Central Plains!" Huo Qingtong thought for a while and said.

"Haha, the gentry and elites in the world are simply cancerous. Sooner or later, these people will stand against me. In this case, why should I care about them! Although doing so will offend them, I will also gain the hearts of many poor people! "Xiao Yun smiled indifferently.

If it weren't for the fear of triggering a crusade by all the nobles in the world, he would have planned to nationalize the land for later generations, and then redistribute the land to the poor people!
