Chapter 189 New Deal Promotion!Spread into acres!The people are boiling!Fire broke out in Donglin County!
Great Xia Dynasty.
Insein 13th, June 25th.
As the time approached July, the Great Xia Dynasty seemed very hot. Wait for another month, I'm afraid the weather will be even hotter.
And almost in July, basically we have to consider the matter of harvesting wheat.
However, for Jiangzhong County, since the Daxia dragon ears were planted, the daily concern of all the people is the rice ears on the cultivated land.
In Liangtian, Jiangzhong County.
The scarlet rice ears are as tall as half a person. They are different from ordinary rice ears. They are red all over and feel a little hot to the touch.
The common people were not at all surprised by the change in the ears of rice. After all, this is a Daxia dragon ear, something specially provided by the royal family. It should be reasonable and reasonable to grow into this shape.
After all, it was specially offered by the royal family. If it was the same as ordinary rice, who would believe it?
The common people gathered outside the fertile fields all day long. In just one month, these ears of rice have grown vigorously, and the rice is even more reddish.
It looks mature.
It is extremely incredible to be able to mature in a month, and the entire Jiangzhong County people are extremely shocked.
But in the end whether it is mature or not, we still have to wait for the official announcement.
In the army camp.
A pot of steaming rice was brought in. The rice was red and plump. This was harvested Daxialong rice.
There is a magical thing underground in Jiangzhong County, which can ripen these big summer rice ears, and it can be ripened in a month at the fastest.
However, Gu Jinnian knew in his heart that the best time to harvest is three to four months, three months is top grade, and four months is perfect.
Gu Jinnian wants to try the effect of the dragon spikes grown in a month.
As long as the job is not bad, he will let the people in the whole city harvest wheat for the self-sufficiency of the people in Jiangzhong County.
The big summer dragon rice in the picture of Shanhe Jinxiu has been eaten up. This is thanks to Gu Jinnian's preparation and use of spirit crystals to ripen it, but it is difficult to tell the truth under such consumption.
If it can be harvested, it is really a great thing, and it can relieve great pressure.
The red Daxia Longmi appeared, in the army camp, Gu Jinnian, Mr. Gu, Gu Ningya, Li Ji, Fang Jingcheng, including dozens of soldiers.
When the rice arrived, one person filled a bowl without saying anything, and everyone began to taste it.
Gu Jinnian ate two mouthfuls. The rice grains were plump, soft and delicious, and had a bit of spiciness, not too spicy, but a mixture of spicy and spicy.
It's like pouring some leftover soup into the rice, making the originally tasteless rice extremely delicious.
"Well, delicious, delicious."
"This rice is really delicious."
"It's delicious."
All of a sudden, everyone in the barracks opened their mouths, and even the old man couldn't help but praise the delicious food.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but be surprised. This taste is much better than Daxia Longmi. Daxia Longmi is fragrant, and the taste is very good, very chewy, while the dragon rice harvested in Jiangzhong County.
It is spicy and delicious, and the aroma is the first. The spicy taste is just for appetizing, and the taste is very soft. This should be related to the planting time. It is very suitable for children and the elderly.
Gu Jinnian sensed the energy of the rice in the river.
In comparison, it is indeed not as much energy as Daxia Longmi, only one-third, but there is one advantage, the energy is gentle, like a hot spring, flowing in your body.
Very suitable for children and the elderly, with different values, very good.
Daxia Longmi is good, but for those who are weak, or for children and the elderly, there are still some medicines that are more effective.
It's not that you can't eat it, but that the absorbed energy will have a certain impact. After eating it, although the elderly are full of energy, this is not a good thing. It needs to be adjusted gently, so as to prolong life.
Now, this Jiangzhong Longmi can just solve this problem.
Very good, quite good.
"Mr. Fang, let me know immediately that the wheat can be harvested."
"Go and invite the elders from all over the country to Jiangfu City. This Marquis has something to explain."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and gave the order.
"As ordered!"
Hearing this, Fang Jing let out a long sigh. Now the people in Jiangzhong County are waiting for a bumper harvest. Although a bumper harvest in one month is unbelievable, everyone has expectations.
The ears of rice are growing so well that the common people are eager to see through them, but without Gu Jinnian's order, they can't harvest them by force. If something happens, no one can take care of it.
But now that Gu Jinnian has opened his mouth, this is a great joy for Jiangzhong County.
"Li Ji, you follow along and tell the people that this time there is a bumper harvest of grain, each household will leave half a year's surplus grain. Besides, the Great Xia Dynasty will buy it all for ten taels of silver and one stone."
Gu Jinnian made a noise and let Li Ji follow him. The latter naturally understood what this meant, and made it clear that he wanted to show his face and win the people's opinion.
Suddenly, Li Ji was overjoyed and respected Gu Jinnian even more.
The two leave.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but speak out.
"If my people in Daxia can eat this kind of dragon rice every day, apart from other things, in 20 years, my soldiers in Daxia will definitely not be weaker than the Huns cavalry in terms of physique."
Mr. Gu could understand almost instantly what benefits this dragon rice in the river could bring.
"Duke, if this rice is given to our army continuously, among other things, for at most ten years, everyone in our army can enter the second realm."
"Yeah, after I finished eating this rice, there was a wave of heat in my body, which is equivalent to practicing martial arts for a day. Our military warriors consume at least two catties of food every day, half of which must be meat. Eat about half a catty of rice, you don't need to eat for a whole day, and your subordinates even feel that they don't need to practice martial arts, and their physique can become stronger."
"Practice still needs to be practiced. If the lieutenant soldiers cooperate with this kind of dragon rice and practice a little bit, the effect will be better."
All the soldiers spoke one after another. After they ate the dragon rice, they could immediately feel the benefits of the dragon rice.
"kindness."
"It will be arranged later."
Gu Jinnian nodded, but didn't say much.
Just as soon as he said this, Lord Zhen understood Gu Jinnian's meaning instantly. He took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Jinnian, these uncles were born and died with your grandfather and me back then. You don't need to be on guard against them, just say what you have to say. The clearer you say, the more they will understand the value of this rice."
The old man could tell at a glance that Gu Jinnian's way of talking was obviously that he didn't want to say too much.
But this group of people is loyal to him, and Jiangzhong County will be guarded by this group of people in the future. If they don't know how much this Daxia Longmi is worth, they will inevitably be careless.
I heard the old man say that.
Gu Jinnian nodded, he stood up and bowed to the soldiers.
"Uncles, just now my nephew was a little bit on guard. This matter is of great importance, and it is also a helpless move. I hope all uncles will not make my nephew angry."
Gu Jinnian stood up and first apologized. This behavior made all the soldiers feel good.
"Jin Nian is being polite."
"Hey, it's a good thing to be cautious. Soldiers never tire of cheating. You deserve to be the number one Marquis of Great Xia."
"We are all rough guys, we won't take it to heart."
Several people stood up and saluted Gu Jinnian in return.
Gu Jinnian is not only the grandson of Duke Zheng, but also the number one Marquis of Da Xia, so naturally he should respect him.
And Gu Jinnian was modest and polite, how could they be displeased?
"Uncles, since this is the case, nephew, please explain."
Gu Jinnian nodded, then spoke.
"All the land in Jiangzhong County, including some deserted land, has been used by my nephew, plus filling, etc., my nephew's plan is [-] mu of land."
"My nephew's idea is also very simple. With 5000 million mu of land, Nagase only grows this kind of grain rice that grows once a month. You uncles have also tasted it just now, so I won't talk about the taste of this kind of rice."
"The main thing is the effect. It is suitable for children and the elderly, but these are not real grand charron rice."
"The real Daxia Longmi, if there are no accidents, at least the effect will be more than tripled. It's hard to say how it is. Three times is the basis."
"Thirty million and 5000 million mu of land, the grain grown is about 17 million shi at a time."
"Now, my nephew is also going to implement a new policy. From now on, the tax will not be collected according to the head, but must be collected according to the field. There is a unified standard for how much tax is collected per mu of land."
"And no matter whether it is a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, or a businessman, it is all collected, and the local county government collects [-]%, which is used for the basic development of the county government to maintain its livelihood."
"17 million shi of grain, three times a year, a total of 51 million shi of grain, after deducting all costs, can be controlled at 40 million shi of grain, and one out of ten is [-] million shi of grain."
"My nephew's idea is simple. He eats a lot of food, about half a catty of food per person a day, and the consumption of war horses and weapons in the army is more than five catties per person."
"Allocate one-third of the food and grass to the Ministry of War every year, expand the army to more than ten million people, and prepare for the future of Great Xia. I wonder if all the uncles understand what my nephew means?"
How can everyone not know that Gu Jinnian said this?
And all the soldiers present were completely shocked at this moment.
They can't figure it out in their heads, but after a simple conversion, they also know that this is a terrible military salary.
Now the Great Xia Dynasty has 400 million elite soldiers. To be honest, half of the national tax revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty has been eaten up by the Ministry of War.
Aside from some other issues, the Ministry of War is actually poor. The so-called poor culture and rich military, the army is a bottomless pit, you can spend as much money as you want.
After all, the more you smash, the stronger the soldiers will be. Food and drink are the most important, as well as horses, armor, weapons, and a series of other things.
The more money you spend, the stronger the combat effectiveness of your soldiers. Everyone understands this truth, but how many dynasties can spend it?
It's not that I'm not willing to part with it, but whether there is any money to spend.
Now that Gu Jinnian has finished speaking, who doesn't understand what he means?Strengthen the military department?
This is no small matter.
To be honest, the Generals Group knew that the only chance for Great Xia to go to war was to recover the Twelve Cities, but these Twelve Cities had already been recovered by Gu Jinnian.
Then the generals basically don't have much effect. Basically, it is good to maintain a certain force value, and it is enough to have the ability to suppress civil strife.
In the future, it will be the world of scholar-bureaucrats, but after Gu Jinnian said this, everyone understands that this Daxia Longmi can make Daxia develop further.
Trample the Huns!
If this is the case, the status of generals will not be lowered, at least in the past five or sixty years, don't think too low.
"What does Hou Ye mean to say, this Daxia Longmi can let me go to court and conquer the Xiongnu country?"
Some soldiers could not bear to speak out, so they asked.
"Don't talk about crushing the Xiongnu, if the generals can defend Jiangzhong County well, it will only take ten years, and even the Fuluo Dynasty can be taken down."
"In time, it is not impossible to unify the Eastern Wasteland. Uncles, you can think about it carefully. A Jiangzhong County can produce 50 shi of grain a year."
"Let's not talk about how much people can eat every day. Even if they eat a lot, it's not a bad thing. How strong is the body after eating this kind of food?"
"And this is just Jiangzhong County. If the entire Great Xia Dynasty planted Great Xia long rice, would there be a chance to unify the Eastern Wilderness?"
Gu Jinnian didn't say much here, and let them think for themselves.
It is true that the words have been said like this, how can everyone present not understand?
All of a sudden, these soldiers couldn't help shortness of breath, and their glasses were straightened.
It is a great joy for them to rule the Eastern Wasteland.
Firstly, when the imperial court fights wars and expands its territories, military commanders are bound to be needed, right?Once a general is needed, the status of the general will not decline.
Secondly, not to mention such an imaginary thing as unifying the Eastern Wasteland, even taking down the Huns is no small matter.
There are more than ten tribes in the Xiongnu country, which means that if the Great Xia Dynasty really crushes the Xiongnu country, these more than ten tribes will represent a prince.
Soldiers should make meritorious service on the battlefield, otherwise it will be too difficult to be promoted.
Gu Jinnian's words gave them hope.
Although they are not young now, they are still young in the Ministry of War, and each of them is in their early 40s. Even if they wait another ten or twenty years, they will be even more popular.
If one day, the Great Xia Dynasty attacked the Huns, it would be a great joy for them.
Whoever breaks through a tribe can be named a marquis in the name of the tribe. This is the rule of the court.
And who made this big summer dragon rice?
It was Gu Jinnian who made it up. Who is Gu Jinnian's grandfather?Lord Zhen.
And they are the generals of Lord Zhen Guo.
To put it bluntly, if there is really a chance to be a Marquis, will Duke Zhen give it to other soldiers or to his own people?
You can think of it with your toes.
So, they were short of breath, and each of them got really excited.
"Master Hou, as long as we guard Jiangzhong County well, can we really go to war?"
A soldier was a little honest and got up to ask Gu Jinnian this question.
"If you can firmly control Jiangzhong County, let alone start a war, even if there is no war, the 24 uncles and nephews here will still have a way to make half of them a marquis."
Gu Jinnian was categorical.
It is not a trivial matter to confer a Marquis. It can be said that except for some miraculous achievements, it is generally impossible to confer a Marquis, and it is almost the peak of the Earl.
But Gu Jinnian is confident that if Jiangzhong County is stable, it will be enough for three to five years.
Once it stabilizes for three to five years, the wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty will reach an extremely terrifying level.
At that time, two routes could be taken, either by force to dominate the entire Eastern Barren Territory.
Either economic sanctions on the Eastern Barren Territory, no matter which way to go, the choice is in the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"We will definitely guard Jiangzhong County to the death and sweep away all obstacles for Lord Hou!"
At this moment, all the soldiers came out together and knelt in front of Gu Jinnian, extremely excited.
"You are welcome."
Seeing that everyone was like this, Gu Jinnian returned the salute slightly.
Lord Zhen Guo watched all this with a calm face.
Ever since he learned about the situation in Jiangzhong County, Duke Zhen Guo had been thinking about how to attack the Huns every day.
If I have to worry about something, it is worried that Emperor Yongsheng will try his best to prevent him from going to the Huns. After all, Emperor Yongsheng is also a militant.
Maybe he wants to fight too.
in this way.
Gu Jinnian explained some things to everyone. The so-called explanations are actually mainly guarding Jiangzhong County and strictly guarding it. Although the seeds of Jiangzhong County are not suitable for growing in other places.
But he still didn't want to expose Daxia Longmi so quickly.
As for the new policy, Gu Jinnian also made it clear to these officers and men that the tax collection of Jiangzhong County in the future can be said to be the most important thing for the Great Xia Dynasty.
none of them.
It doesn't matter if the taxes in other places are delayed or slowed down, as long as the taxes in Jiangzhong County can be collected, everything will be fine.
The new policy of distributing all the money to the mother is definitely a fatal blow to the aristocrats of the family.
It is difficult to put it anywhere, and it will be difficult to really implement it.
But just as Jiangzhong County was adapting, the three major families had already been severely beaten by him, and all the officials did not dare to provoke him. At this juncture, disaster relief is the first priority, and everything else can only be obeyed.
Whoever dares to disobey himself can prepare for the funeral.
Coupled with the interference of military power, the promotion is forced to continue, and the public opinion is in one's own hands. As long as you explain it carefully, I believe that the promotion of the New Deal will be very simple.
After Jiangzhong County's new policy is promoted and the Great Summer Disaster is over, we can use this matter to inform all the people so that they can see the results of Jiangzhong County.
Speaking with facts, the common people would naturally accept it. As for the reactions of the aristocratic families and dignitaries, Gu Jinnian had a simple idea.
Kill anyone who refuses to obey.
Where is there so much nonsense?
Now is an eventful time, put other things aside first, and wait until these major issues are resolved.
Soon, all the soldiers left.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In the past two days, the entire Jiangzhong County has been in full swing, and the people are all laughing.
This big summer long rice is beyond their imagination, and rice can be grown in a month. It can be said that the smiles on the faces of the people in Jiangzhong County have not diminished since a month ago.
Because it is a trial planting, and the seeds in many places have been destroyed, so the first batch of harvest, mainly in a few big prefectures, and some other prefectures still need about seven days for a bumper harvest.
But this kind of celebration has already spread in Jiangzhong County.
Even late at night, many people would laugh heartily.
And when this kind of behavior spread to the outside world, it became a lot of noise from Jiangzhong County in the middle of the night. The civil unrest had already begun, but they were all suppressed by the soldiers of Daxia.
So nothing major happened.
This kind of rumor has the shadow of Gu Jinnian. He deliberately made people cry inside the city gate, just for some spies outside to hear.
today.
noon.
The elders of the nineteen counties once again gathered in the army camp.
Invite these clan elders, Gu Jinnian is to inform everyone about the fact that the tenants have entered the mother.
To put it simply, the tax is calculated according to the land, but it is very troublesome to explain, Gu Jinnian is very patient, he is not a bit irritable, but very gentle to explain to these clan elders.
If you can't explain it once, explain it twice, and don't stop talking until these clan elders fully understand the meaning and benefits of sharing the money with each other.
In the army camp, hundreds of clan elders from all over the world suddenly realized.
"My lord, this old man completely understands. That is to say, in the future, those with more fields will pay more, and those with young fields will pay less. Is this what you mean?"
Someone made a conclusion and said so.
"The old man is right. This is what the new policy means. If a family has eight members and has hundreds of acres of land, it will naturally pay more tax. If the family has only three members and ten acres of land, it will naturally pay less tax. "
Gu Jinnian smiled slightly.
"That's good."
"This is really good. If this is the case, there will be no one who can't pay the grain tax."
"The more you earn, the more you pay, the less you earn, the less you pay. That's the truth. It's really the truth."
Everyone opened their mouths and clapped their hands in applause. It was very difficult for them to understand what it means to spread a small fortune into an acre. As long as they understand the basic logic, it is already very good.
"And, from now on, in Jiangzhong County, regardless of whether it is a family or a powerful person, the taxes they pay will be treated equally."
"I won't take more, and I won't let them pay less."
"Furthermore, old gentlemen, you must make it clear when you go back, save money well, and there will be no shortage of food in the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, business and trade will be the mainstream."
"One day, I will ask His Majesty to abolish the grain tax. At that time, you can get as much grain as you plant."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he looked at these clan elders with a determined face and said so.
After these clan elders heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.
Cancel the food tax?
How incredible does that sound?
For farmers like them, the most worrying thing is taxation, because they deduct their own food every year, plus a little surplus grain, and basically have to pay the rest.
But now, this Daxia Longmi has changed their future and implemented a new policy. This new policy does not mean that everyone will get rich in the future, but it can guarantee that no one will starve to death in the future.
No one would sell their land to pay off their debts because they couldn't pay the grain tax. After all, whose family has nothing to do all year round?
Offspring will marry wives.
Who is seriously ill.
Or they caused some troubles and needed money to manage them. These things will happen more or less. Once they happen, they can only sell the land.
Without fields, you can only be tenants for others.
Now Gu Jinnian not only implements the New Deal, but also says that the grain tax will be abolished. In their eyes, Gu Jinnian is a saint.
"My lord, I really love the people like my son, I'll take it, I'll take it!"
"With officials like your lord, we ordinary people are worth it in this life."
"It's a pity, if the adults were born 30 years earlier, maybe I can enjoy the blessings."
"Please don't worry, my lord, we old bones can be regarded as half a foot in the coffin. The general situation of Jiangzhong County is still up to the adults to deal with, but for some small things, if you speak up, the adults, we will do it. Dirty work Let's do the hard work, as long as the adults say it, we will do it."
Everyone's eyes filled with tears, no matter what Gu Jinnian did, he always thought of the common people.
To be honest, even a hard-hearted heart will be moved.
"Gentlemen, please get up quickly."
"I called you here today not only to explain the New Deal, but also to do one more thing."
"If there are no accidents, Gu will leave Jiangzhong County in about ten days. Gu's grandfather will guard Jiangzhong County."
"After I left, I was actually very worried about some changes in the situation. On the outside, I can rely on Daxia's 50 army, plus the [-] cavalry, which can protect Jiangzhong County from worry."
"But in the interior, it is not the soldiers who rely on it, but the tens of millions of people in Jiangzhong County, and you are elders from all over the country, with high morals. Gu does not believe the words of officials, but trusts the old gentlemen."
"In the early years, there were endless civil wars, and the old gentlemen suffered a lot. Gu couldn't make up for it, and he couldn't make up for it. Now, Gu hopes that all the old gentlemen can think of future generations."
"If the internal stability is stable, you will get rid of the old gentlemen. If Jiangzhong County is really stabilized and will benefit tens of thousands of people in the Great Xia Dynasty, you will also be able to be included in this merit list. People in future generations must look up."
Gu Jinnian bowed to the elders of the clan.
Watching Gu Jinnian pay his respects, all the clan elders immediately paid their respects back.
Not long after, the clan elders rushed to the various prefectures in a carriage to promote the New Deal.
After watching these clan elders leave, Gu Jinnian's eyes were extremely calm.
After this happened.
Jiangzhong County was completely settled.
There are 50 soldiers and [-] cavalry guarding it, and the old man leads many soldiers to sit in the town.
There are these clan elders to control public opinion and stabilize the internal situation.
Jiangzhong County will be completely peaceful.
The reason why we have to wait another ten days to leave is because, after ten days, we can know how much food has been planted.
In this way, I can finish the final arrangement and go to the next place.
The situation in Donglin County became more and more serious. The King of Qin sent too many military reports, not only about the fire fighting, but also other things that he had to handle by himself.
If you don't go to Donglin County in person, it will be difficult to solve it.
Ten days is nothing to Jiangzhong County.
But for Donglin County, every day is suffering.
Although he understood, Gu Jinnian could only wait.
At this moment.
Great Xia Dynasty.
Donglin County.
In Donglin County, with the word forest, one can know this area with lush trees.
Indeed, there is not much in the whole Donglin County. Compared with the desolation of Jiangzhong County, Donglin County is extremely lush, with valleys and jungles, lush and prosperous.
However, at this moment, the entire Donglin County is indeed blood-red, and above the sky, it looks blood-red, reflecting the hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers.
In the entire Donglin County mountain range, there were still three fires, and there were five before. With the efforts of the Daxia soldiers and the people, as well as the help of a large number of rain charms, two were extinguished.
However, the remaining four places are almost powerless.
King Qin was not incompetent, he immediately asked the soldiers to cut down trees to create a fire-free zone, but there are so many valleys in this place, it is too difficult to stop the fire.
In addition, the place is too large, and 20 soldiers cannot cut out the vacuum zone in one day.
Moreover, the fire is fiercer than a tiger. Once the wind direction changes, the soldiers who went to fight the fire will be turned into ashes.
The only way is to wait for these wildfires to burn outside the valley to effectively stop them, but the biggest trouble is the wind direction.
It's okay to guess correctly, but if you don't guess correctly, you will be in great trouble.
The direction of the wind changes as soon as it is said, and it is beyond human control.
"Water source! Find the water source quickly."
"Water, we need water here."
"No, hurry up, or it will be too late."
An elite group of 500 people was yelling in the woods. They were cutting down trees in this area, but because of a change in the wind direction, the mountain fire hit them.
I didn't notice it at the first time, but the mountain fire was overwhelming, burning at an almost desperate speed.
500 people looked desperate.
"Quickly dig a hole."
In the end, the leader of the hundred households roared and told all the soldiers to dig a hole immediately. They were warriors, buried in the hole, and using the true energy of martial arts, they could barely hold on for a while.
There is a possibility of survival.
Therefore, 500 people dug five large pits at the fastest speed, but at this time they had already felt the incomparably blazing flames.
The temperature was not particularly high, but the wind that was blowing made it difficult for them to breathe.
"It's too late!"
"To live one is one."
Baihu yelled, and he made people jump into the pit directly, one after another.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the fire struck, like a fire dragon, directly devouring the place.
"what!!"
There was an incomparably shrill scream, hundreds of households were pressed on the pit, and more than 200 soldiers did not enter the pit at all. They were burned to death by the raging fire, and they did not die instantly.
Instead, he suffered from the horrible fire, twisted his body in pain, rolled on the ground, and finally died after a quarter of an hour.
Such things are no longer common in Donglin County, they happen every day.
Two hundred miles away.
Standing in the air, King Qin watched the mountain fire, and he could hear the screams of the soldiers in his ears, his face was extremely ugly.
At this time, one after another voice sounded from below.
"Report! Tianyu Army, the third battalion, the second team, three hundred soldiers died in the wildfire, and no one survived."
"Report! Tianyu Army, the third battalion, the second team, 240 soldiers died in the wildfire, 30 were seriously injured, and 30 were slightly or seriously injured."
"Report! Shankui Army, Fifth Battalion, Ninth Team, five hundred soldiers died in the wildfire, and none survived."
"His Royal Highness, the mountain fires in the east have been brought under control, but the fires in the north and south are still fierce. Do you want to retreat?"
followed by a sound.
Qin Wang's face became more and more ugly.
"No retreat!"
"Another five thousand elites will rush to the north and south to control the fire."
King Qin's voice sounded decisive.
"My lord, if we send another 5000 people, the fire in the north-south direction may not be able to be controlled. Now the wind direction is also north-south. Once there is a strong wind, something big will happen."
A soldier who spoke was the confidant of the King of Qin.
"I have to control the fire with my life. Once the mountain fire in the east and the mountain fire in the south merge into one, Donglin County will have no chance to change the situation."
King Qin kept a cold face.
It's not that he has a heart of stone, but the three current fire points in Donglin County.
One is okay, it is in the west. Although the fire is the fiercest, at least it hasn't caused much impact.
However, the flints in the east and south are the most terrifying. Because of the wind direction, the two groups of wildfires are likely to merge together.
Once fused together, Donglin County is really hopeless.
The people of Donglin County can't escape at all, because most of the cities are in the mountains. Although some people migrate, where do they settle down?
Donglin County has a population of 5000 million. With such a large population, being homeless is also a catastrophe.
Therefore, the two groups of mountain fires must not be fused together.
"My lord!"
"It's really impossible. In less than two months, the brothers have already died and injured more than [-]. If this continues,"
The confidant knelt on the ground, crying and begging King Qin to order him to retreat.
"Military orders are like mountains!"
"Send five thousand more elite soldiers."
"Tell them, stick to the position, the way to survive is to stop the fire."
King Qin roared angrily.
He knew that the soldiers were sacrificing, but what he knew even more was that without these sacrifices, more people would die, the people would be displaced, and it would be a disaster for the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Yes!"
The latter wept, but still gritted his teeth and hurried to the south to issue a military order.
Soon, there was another voice.
"Report!"
"My lord, Xianmen still refuses to give the rain-seeking talisman, please make a decision."
With this voice sounded.
King Qin's teeth were about to be crushed.
"Five! This king only needs five rain-seeking talismans, as long as he can control the mountain fire from merging, that's enough!"
"Why didn't they give the five rain talismans?"
"Did you tell Xianmen what this king said?"
King Qin was so angry that he vomited blood. At first, the Great Xia Dynasty asked the immortal gates for rain talismans, and all the immortal gates gave a few of them one after another. Unexpectedly, the fire was so fierce, so they thought about asking for some more.
Unexpectedly, everyone in Xianmen was ruthless and didn't give a single one.
If there is a rain talisman, part of the fire can be stably controlled. It is difficult to extinguish the fire, but at least it can keep the fire under control, give the soldiers a chance, and reduce the sacrifice of the soldiers.
However, Xianmen is extremely ruthless, how can this not make him angry?
"Back to the lord, I have said everything that should be said, whether it is a threat or a request, the fairy gate is indifferent, and even said that it was already meddling in the affairs of the world, if you give it again, it will be considered a mess cause and effect."
The latter spoke out, telling King Qin the meaning of Xianmen.
"This group of dogs are nothing more than seeing that Da Xia is at a disadvantage and want to watch the fire from the other side."
"Karma? I am because of his mother. If I am really afraid of Karma, I will go back to the mountains and never come out for the rest of my life."
King Qin scolded angrily.
He is really angry now, a large number of soldiers died in the fire, how could he not feel distressed?
Moreover, under the flames, not only the soldiers were burned to death, but some civilians who could not escape were also buried in the sea of flames.
These are sins.
"My lord, the Buddhist sect is willing to make a move, saying that they are willing to pray for rain with merit, but the lord needs to agree to the Buddhist sect and settle in the Daxia Dynasty. My lord, do you want to meet someone from the Buddhist sect?"
At this time, a figure appeared, still the confidant of King Qin, he told King Qin about this matter, and asked if he wanted to meet.
"Fomen?"
"Let them go away, my brother hates people from the Buddhist sect the most, they still have the face to come to me?"
"Want to take advantage of the fire to rob? Save the Xiongnu country, this kind of person has face?"
King Qin scolded angrily.
When he heard about Buddhism, he subconsciously hated it, not for anything else, but because Gu Jinnian hated Buddhism.
"My lord, let's meet now. Buddhism is indeed our last hope. If this continues, even if the fire in Donglin County is settled, at least [-] to [-] brothers will have to be sacrificed."
"At that time, the court prince's followers will definitely criticize you, my lord. The disaster situation in Longxi County has stabilized, and your majesty is very happy. But if you let your majesty know that so many people have died here, I'm afraid your majesty will have opinions on you, your lord."
A confidant said in mourning, which was also a reminder to King Qin.
"not see!"
"As long as it lasts until Jinnian, it will be fine."
King Qin gritted his teeth. He didn't care so much. The Buddhist sect came to rescue the disaster, and they must have other ideas. They had bigger plans.
Solved the urgent need, but there will be endless troubles, he is not stupid, and he will not be fooled.
For a while, these soldiers were silent and didn't know what to say.
Looking at this terrifying mountain fire, to be honest, they really don't have any confidence, even if Gu Jin is here, so what?
in this way.
Time passed little by little.
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.
King Qin's luck was not bad. In Donglin County, the two mountain fires in the southeast were not merged due to the sacrifice of 400 people, but the key was because the wind direction changed.
It's just two groups of wildfires, separated by hundreds of miles from the beginning, and now only more than 30 miles apart.
In other words, as long as the wind direction changes again, within half a day, the two groups of mountain fires will completely merge into one.
So Qin Wang wrote nine letters in a row, almost crying and begging Gu Jinnian to come quickly.
He really couldn't stand it anymore.
This errand is really not done by humans.
And just after the letter was sent away, in the camp of Donglin County.
A middle-aged monk walked into the camp holding a string of emerald beads.
This is a Buddhist monk.
He came three times in the past seven days, but was refused to meet each time by the king of Qin, but this time the king of Qin really had no choice but to see him.
When the Buddhist eminent monk came, he spoke very directly, without going around the bush.
Immortals do not give rain-seeking talismans, and Buddhism does not actually have any rain-seeking talismans, but they can use the merits of Buddhism to pray for rain.
Hearing the merits and begging for rain, King Qin immediately thought of Gu Jinnian's twelve great wishes.
However, the other party seemed to see through King Qin's thoughts at a glance.
Can't help but speak out slowly.
"My lord, although the Marquis of Destiny also has the merits of Buddhism, but his merits and virtues of twelve great wishes, in exchange for a lot of luck in Buddhism, can't be turned into wind and rain to solve the difficulties of Donglin County."
"Furthermore, even if there is, forgive me for saying it bluntly, the rain that Lord Hou begged for can only extinguish the fire. This Donglin County has been burned to the ground. How can the resentment of the soldiers and the people be extinguished? There are countless ghosts in this mountain forest." How can resentment be extinguished?"
"Xianmen didn't take action, not because they watched the fire from the other side, but to solve the fire. The most terrifying thing is these resentful souls."
"The disaster in Donglin County can only be solved by Buddhism."
"No one in the world can do it."
"Even if the Mandate of Heaven makes 24 great wishes, it is useless to exchange for merit. Only the first time a great wish is made can one gain immeasurable merit. The world will not accept the great wishes made in the future. Even if they are accepted, they will not give a lot of merit."
"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can find someone to ask."
"Buddhism really can't bear the suffering of the common people, so please ask the prince to make a choice for the common people in the world."
When the eminent monk opened his mouth, he hardly gave King Qin a chance to choose, and every word he said blocked King Qin's fantasy.
But even so.
King Qin still didn't agree in the end, he had to wait.
Wait for Gu Jinnian!
Buddhism's calculations are far more terrifying than fires. If there are other conditions, he can agree.
Settled in Daxia.
This.
Impossible.
Two days later.
Finally, Jiangzhong County also completely ended the first harvest.
(End of this chapter)
Great Xia Dynasty.
Insein 13th, June 25th.
As the time approached July, the Great Xia Dynasty seemed very hot. Wait for another month, I'm afraid the weather will be even hotter.
And almost in July, basically we have to consider the matter of harvesting wheat.
However, for Jiangzhong County, since the Daxia dragon ears were planted, the daily concern of all the people is the rice ears on the cultivated land.
In Liangtian, Jiangzhong County.
The scarlet rice ears are as tall as half a person. They are different from ordinary rice ears. They are red all over and feel a little hot to the touch.
The common people were not at all surprised by the change in the ears of rice. After all, this is a Daxia dragon ear, something specially provided by the royal family. It should be reasonable and reasonable to grow into this shape.
After all, it was specially offered by the royal family. If it was the same as ordinary rice, who would believe it?
The common people gathered outside the fertile fields all day long. In just one month, these ears of rice have grown vigorously, and the rice is even more reddish.
It looks mature.
It is extremely incredible to be able to mature in a month, and the entire Jiangzhong County people are extremely shocked.
But in the end whether it is mature or not, we still have to wait for the official announcement.
In the army camp.
A pot of steaming rice was brought in. The rice was red and plump. This was harvested Daxialong rice.
There is a magical thing underground in Jiangzhong County, which can ripen these big summer rice ears, and it can be ripened in a month at the fastest.
However, Gu Jinnian knew in his heart that the best time to harvest is three to four months, three months is top grade, and four months is perfect.
Gu Jinnian wants to try the effect of the dragon spikes grown in a month.
As long as the job is not bad, he will let the people in the whole city harvest wheat for the self-sufficiency of the people in Jiangzhong County.
The big summer dragon rice in the picture of Shanhe Jinxiu has been eaten up. This is thanks to Gu Jinnian's preparation and use of spirit crystals to ripen it, but it is difficult to tell the truth under such consumption.
If it can be harvested, it is really a great thing, and it can relieve great pressure.
The red Daxia Longmi appeared, in the army camp, Gu Jinnian, Mr. Gu, Gu Ningya, Li Ji, Fang Jingcheng, including dozens of soldiers.
When the rice arrived, one person filled a bowl without saying anything, and everyone began to taste it.
Gu Jinnian ate two mouthfuls. The rice grains were plump, soft and delicious, and had a bit of spiciness, not too spicy, but a mixture of spicy and spicy.
It's like pouring some leftover soup into the rice, making the originally tasteless rice extremely delicious.
"Well, delicious, delicious."
"This rice is really delicious."
"It's delicious."
All of a sudden, everyone in the barracks opened their mouths, and even the old man couldn't help but praise the delicious food.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but be surprised. This taste is much better than Daxia Longmi. Daxia Longmi is fragrant, and the taste is very good, very chewy, while the dragon rice harvested in Jiangzhong County.
It is spicy and delicious, and the aroma is the first. The spicy taste is just for appetizing, and the taste is very soft. This should be related to the planting time. It is very suitable for children and the elderly.
Gu Jinnian sensed the energy of the rice in the river.
In comparison, it is indeed not as much energy as Daxia Longmi, only one-third, but there is one advantage, the energy is gentle, like a hot spring, flowing in your body.
Very suitable for children and the elderly, with different values, very good.
Daxia Longmi is good, but for those who are weak, or for children and the elderly, there are still some medicines that are more effective.
It's not that you can't eat it, but that the absorbed energy will have a certain impact. After eating it, although the elderly are full of energy, this is not a good thing. It needs to be adjusted gently, so as to prolong life.
Now, this Jiangzhong Longmi can just solve this problem.
Very good, quite good.
"Mr. Fang, let me know immediately that the wheat can be harvested."
"Go and invite the elders from all over the country to Jiangfu City. This Marquis has something to explain."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and gave the order.
"As ordered!"
Hearing this, Fang Jing let out a long sigh. Now the people in Jiangzhong County are waiting for a bumper harvest. Although a bumper harvest in one month is unbelievable, everyone has expectations.
The ears of rice are growing so well that the common people are eager to see through them, but without Gu Jinnian's order, they can't harvest them by force. If something happens, no one can take care of it.
But now that Gu Jinnian has opened his mouth, this is a great joy for Jiangzhong County.
"Li Ji, you follow along and tell the people that this time there is a bumper harvest of grain, each household will leave half a year's surplus grain. Besides, the Great Xia Dynasty will buy it all for ten taels of silver and one stone."
Gu Jinnian made a noise and let Li Ji follow him. The latter naturally understood what this meant, and made it clear that he wanted to show his face and win the people's opinion.
Suddenly, Li Ji was overjoyed and respected Gu Jinnian even more.
The two leave.
Mr. Gu couldn't help but speak out.
"If my people in Daxia can eat this kind of dragon rice every day, apart from other things, in 20 years, my soldiers in Daxia will definitely not be weaker than the Huns cavalry in terms of physique."
Mr. Gu could understand almost instantly what benefits this dragon rice in the river could bring.
"Duke, if this rice is given to our army continuously, among other things, for at most ten years, everyone in our army can enter the second realm."
"Yeah, after I finished eating this rice, there was a wave of heat in my body, which is equivalent to practicing martial arts for a day. Our military warriors consume at least two catties of food every day, half of which must be meat. Eat about half a catty of rice, you don't need to eat for a whole day, and your subordinates even feel that they don't need to practice martial arts, and their physique can become stronger."
"Practice still needs to be practiced. If the lieutenant soldiers cooperate with this kind of dragon rice and practice a little bit, the effect will be better."
All the soldiers spoke one after another. After they ate the dragon rice, they could immediately feel the benefits of the dragon rice.
"kindness."
"It will be arranged later."
Gu Jinnian nodded, but didn't say much.
Just as soon as he said this, Lord Zhen understood Gu Jinnian's meaning instantly. He took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Jinnian, these uncles were born and died with your grandfather and me back then. You don't need to be on guard against them, just say what you have to say. The clearer you say, the more they will understand the value of this rice."
The old man could tell at a glance that Gu Jinnian's way of talking was obviously that he didn't want to say too much.
But this group of people is loyal to him, and Jiangzhong County will be guarded by this group of people in the future. If they don't know how much this Daxia Longmi is worth, they will inevitably be careless.
I heard the old man say that.
Gu Jinnian nodded, he stood up and bowed to the soldiers.
"Uncles, just now my nephew was a little bit on guard. This matter is of great importance, and it is also a helpless move. I hope all uncles will not make my nephew angry."
Gu Jinnian stood up and first apologized. This behavior made all the soldiers feel good.
"Jin Nian is being polite."
"Hey, it's a good thing to be cautious. Soldiers never tire of cheating. You deserve to be the number one Marquis of Great Xia."
"We are all rough guys, we won't take it to heart."
Several people stood up and saluted Gu Jinnian in return.
Gu Jinnian is not only the grandson of Duke Zheng, but also the number one Marquis of Da Xia, so naturally he should respect him.
And Gu Jinnian was modest and polite, how could they be displeased?
"Uncles, since this is the case, nephew, please explain."
Gu Jinnian nodded, then spoke.
"All the land in Jiangzhong County, including some deserted land, has been used by my nephew, plus filling, etc., my nephew's plan is [-] mu of land."
"My nephew's idea is also very simple. With 5000 million mu of land, Nagase only grows this kind of grain rice that grows once a month. You uncles have also tasted it just now, so I won't talk about the taste of this kind of rice."
"The main thing is the effect. It is suitable for children and the elderly, but these are not real grand charron rice."
"The real Daxia Longmi, if there are no accidents, at least the effect will be more than tripled. It's hard to say how it is. Three times is the basis."
"Thirty million and 5000 million mu of land, the grain grown is about 17 million shi at a time."
"Now, my nephew is also going to implement a new policy. From now on, the tax will not be collected according to the head, but must be collected according to the field. There is a unified standard for how much tax is collected per mu of land."
"And no matter whether it is a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, or a businessman, it is all collected, and the local county government collects [-]%, which is used for the basic development of the county government to maintain its livelihood."
"17 million shi of grain, three times a year, a total of 51 million shi of grain, after deducting all costs, can be controlled at 40 million shi of grain, and one out of ten is [-] million shi of grain."
"My nephew's idea is simple. He eats a lot of food, about half a catty of food per person a day, and the consumption of war horses and weapons in the army is more than five catties per person."
"Allocate one-third of the food and grass to the Ministry of War every year, expand the army to more than ten million people, and prepare for the future of Great Xia. I wonder if all the uncles understand what my nephew means?"
How can everyone not know that Gu Jinnian said this?
And all the soldiers present were completely shocked at this moment.
They can't figure it out in their heads, but after a simple conversion, they also know that this is a terrible military salary.
Now the Great Xia Dynasty has 400 million elite soldiers. To be honest, half of the national tax revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty has been eaten up by the Ministry of War.
Aside from some other issues, the Ministry of War is actually poor. The so-called poor culture and rich military, the army is a bottomless pit, you can spend as much money as you want.
After all, the more you smash, the stronger the soldiers will be. Food and drink are the most important, as well as horses, armor, weapons, and a series of other things.
The more money you spend, the stronger the combat effectiveness of your soldiers. Everyone understands this truth, but how many dynasties can spend it?
It's not that I'm not willing to part with it, but whether there is any money to spend.
Now that Gu Jinnian has finished speaking, who doesn't understand what he means?Strengthen the military department?
This is no small matter.
To be honest, the Generals Group knew that the only chance for Great Xia to go to war was to recover the Twelve Cities, but these Twelve Cities had already been recovered by Gu Jinnian.
Then the generals basically don't have much effect. Basically, it is good to maintain a certain force value, and it is enough to have the ability to suppress civil strife.
In the future, it will be the world of scholar-bureaucrats, but after Gu Jinnian said this, everyone understands that this Daxia Longmi can make Daxia develop further.
Trample the Huns!
If this is the case, the status of generals will not be lowered, at least in the past five or sixty years, don't think too low.
"What does Hou Ye mean to say, this Daxia Longmi can let me go to court and conquer the Xiongnu country?"
Some soldiers could not bear to speak out, so they asked.
"Don't talk about crushing the Xiongnu, if the generals can defend Jiangzhong County well, it will only take ten years, and even the Fuluo Dynasty can be taken down."
"In time, it is not impossible to unify the Eastern Wasteland. Uncles, you can think about it carefully. A Jiangzhong County can produce 50 shi of grain a year."
"Let's not talk about how much people can eat every day. Even if they eat a lot, it's not a bad thing. How strong is the body after eating this kind of food?"
"And this is just Jiangzhong County. If the entire Great Xia Dynasty planted Great Xia long rice, would there be a chance to unify the Eastern Wilderness?"
Gu Jinnian didn't say much here, and let them think for themselves.
It is true that the words have been said like this, how can everyone present not understand?
All of a sudden, these soldiers couldn't help shortness of breath, and their glasses were straightened.
It is a great joy for them to rule the Eastern Wasteland.
Firstly, when the imperial court fights wars and expands its territories, military commanders are bound to be needed, right?Once a general is needed, the status of the general will not decline.
Secondly, not to mention such an imaginary thing as unifying the Eastern Wasteland, even taking down the Huns is no small matter.
There are more than ten tribes in the Xiongnu country, which means that if the Great Xia Dynasty really crushes the Xiongnu country, these more than ten tribes will represent a prince.
Soldiers should make meritorious service on the battlefield, otherwise it will be too difficult to be promoted.
Gu Jinnian's words gave them hope.
Although they are not young now, they are still young in the Ministry of War, and each of them is in their early 40s. Even if they wait another ten or twenty years, they will be even more popular.
If one day, the Great Xia Dynasty attacked the Huns, it would be a great joy for them.
Whoever breaks through a tribe can be named a marquis in the name of the tribe. This is the rule of the court.
And who made this big summer dragon rice?
It was Gu Jinnian who made it up. Who is Gu Jinnian's grandfather?Lord Zhen.
And they are the generals of Lord Zhen Guo.
To put it bluntly, if there is really a chance to be a Marquis, will Duke Zhen give it to other soldiers or to his own people?
You can think of it with your toes.
So, they were short of breath, and each of them got really excited.
"Master Hou, as long as we guard Jiangzhong County well, can we really go to war?"
A soldier was a little honest and got up to ask Gu Jinnian this question.
"If you can firmly control Jiangzhong County, let alone start a war, even if there is no war, the 24 uncles and nephews here will still have a way to make half of them a marquis."
Gu Jinnian was categorical.
It is not a trivial matter to confer a Marquis. It can be said that except for some miraculous achievements, it is generally impossible to confer a Marquis, and it is almost the peak of the Earl.
But Gu Jinnian is confident that if Jiangzhong County is stable, it will be enough for three to five years.
Once it stabilizes for three to five years, the wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty will reach an extremely terrifying level.
At that time, two routes could be taken, either by force to dominate the entire Eastern Barren Territory.
Either economic sanctions on the Eastern Barren Territory, no matter which way to go, the choice is in the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"We will definitely guard Jiangzhong County to the death and sweep away all obstacles for Lord Hou!"
At this moment, all the soldiers came out together and knelt in front of Gu Jinnian, extremely excited.
"You are welcome."
Seeing that everyone was like this, Gu Jinnian returned the salute slightly.
Lord Zhen Guo watched all this with a calm face.
Ever since he learned about the situation in Jiangzhong County, Duke Zhen Guo had been thinking about how to attack the Huns every day.
If I have to worry about something, it is worried that Emperor Yongsheng will try his best to prevent him from going to the Huns. After all, Emperor Yongsheng is also a militant.
Maybe he wants to fight too.
in this way.
Gu Jinnian explained some things to everyone. The so-called explanations are actually mainly guarding Jiangzhong County and strictly guarding it. Although the seeds of Jiangzhong County are not suitable for growing in other places.
But he still didn't want to expose Daxia Longmi so quickly.
As for the new policy, Gu Jinnian also made it clear to these officers and men that the tax collection of Jiangzhong County in the future can be said to be the most important thing for the Great Xia Dynasty.
none of them.
It doesn't matter if the taxes in other places are delayed or slowed down, as long as the taxes in Jiangzhong County can be collected, everything will be fine.
The new policy of distributing all the money to the mother is definitely a fatal blow to the aristocrats of the family.
It is difficult to put it anywhere, and it will be difficult to really implement it.
But just as Jiangzhong County was adapting, the three major families had already been severely beaten by him, and all the officials did not dare to provoke him. At this juncture, disaster relief is the first priority, and everything else can only be obeyed.
Whoever dares to disobey himself can prepare for the funeral.
Coupled with the interference of military power, the promotion is forced to continue, and the public opinion is in one's own hands. As long as you explain it carefully, I believe that the promotion of the New Deal will be very simple.
After Jiangzhong County's new policy is promoted and the Great Summer Disaster is over, we can use this matter to inform all the people so that they can see the results of Jiangzhong County.
Speaking with facts, the common people would naturally accept it. As for the reactions of the aristocratic families and dignitaries, Gu Jinnian had a simple idea.
Kill anyone who refuses to obey.
Where is there so much nonsense?
Now is an eventful time, put other things aside first, and wait until these major issues are resolved.
Soon, all the soldiers left.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
In the past two days, the entire Jiangzhong County has been in full swing, and the people are all laughing.
This big summer long rice is beyond their imagination, and rice can be grown in a month. It can be said that the smiles on the faces of the people in Jiangzhong County have not diminished since a month ago.
Because it is a trial planting, and the seeds in many places have been destroyed, so the first batch of harvest, mainly in a few big prefectures, and some other prefectures still need about seven days for a bumper harvest.
But this kind of celebration has already spread in Jiangzhong County.
Even late at night, many people would laugh heartily.
And when this kind of behavior spread to the outside world, it became a lot of noise from Jiangzhong County in the middle of the night. The civil unrest had already begun, but they were all suppressed by the soldiers of Daxia.
So nothing major happened.
This kind of rumor has the shadow of Gu Jinnian. He deliberately made people cry inside the city gate, just for some spies outside to hear.
today.
noon.
The elders of the nineteen counties once again gathered in the army camp.
Invite these clan elders, Gu Jinnian is to inform everyone about the fact that the tenants have entered the mother.
To put it simply, the tax is calculated according to the land, but it is very troublesome to explain, Gu Jinnian is very patient, he is not a bit irritable, but very gentle to explain to these clan elders.
If you can't explain it once, explain it twice, and don't stop talking until these clan elders fully understand the meaning and benefits of sharing the money with each other.
In the army camp, hundreds of clan elders from all over the world suddenly realized.
"My lord, this old man completely understands. That is to say, in the future, those with more fields will pay more, and those with young fields will pay less. Is this what you mean?"
Someone made a conclusion and said so.
"The old man is right. This is what the new policy means. If a family has eight members and has hundreds of acres of land, it will naturally pay more tax. If the family has only three members and ten acres of land, it will naturally pay less tax. "
Gu Jinnian smiled slightly.
"That's good."
"This is really good. If this is the case, there will be no one who can't pay the grain tax."
"The more you earn, the more you pay, the less you earn, the less you pay. That's the truth. It's really the truth."
Everyone opened their mouths and clapped their hands in applause. It was very difficult for them to understand what it means to spread a small fortune into an acre. As long as they understand the basic logic, it is already very good.
"And, from now on, in Jiangzhong County, regardless of whether it is a family or a powerful person, the taxes they pay will be treated equally."
"I won't take more, and I won't let them pay less."
"Furthermore, old gentlemen, you must make it clear when you go back, save money well, and there will be no shortage of food in the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, business and trade will be the mainstream."
"One day, I will ask His Majesty to abolish the grain tax. At that time, you can get as much grain as you plant."
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he looked at these clan elders with a determined face and said so.
After these clan elders heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.
Cancel the food tax?
How incredible does that sound?
For farmers like them, the most worrying thing is taxation, because they deduct their own food every year, plus a little surplus grain, and basically have to pay the rest.
But now, this Daxia Longmi has changed their future and implemented a new policy. This new policy does not mean that everyone will get rich in the future, but it can guarantee that no one will starve to death in the future.
No one would sell their land to pay off their debts because they couldn't pay the grain tax. After all, whose family has nothing to do all year round?
Offspring will marry wives.
Who is seriously ill.
Or they caused some troubles and needed money to manage them. These things will happen more or less. Once they happen, they can only sell the land.
Without fields, you can only be tenants for others.
Now Gu Jinnian not only implements the New Deal, but also says that the grain tax will be abolished. In their eyes, Gu Jinnian is a saint.
"My lord, I really love the people like my son, I'll take it, I'll take it!"
"With officials like your lord, we ordinary people are worth it in this life."
"It's a pity, if the adults were born 30 years earlier, maybe I can enjoy the blessings."
"Please don't worry, my lord, we old bones can be regarded as half a foot in the coffin. The general situation of Jiangzhong County is still up to the adults to deal with, but for some small things, if you speak up, the adults, we will do it. Dirty work Let's do the hard work, as long as the adults say it, we will do it."
Everyone's eyes filled with tears, no matter what Gu Jinnian did, he always thought of the common people.
To be honest, even a hard-hearted heart will be moved.
"Gentlemen, please get up quickly."
"I called you here today not only to explain the New Deal, but also to do one more thing."
"If there are no accidents, Gu will leave Jiangzhong County in about ten days. Gu's grandfather will guard Jiangzhong County."
"After I left, I was actually very worried about some changes in the situation. On the outside, I can rely on Daxia's 50 army, plus the [-] cavalry, which can protect Jiangzhong County from worry."
"But in the interior, it is not the soldiers who rely on it, but the tens of millions of people in Jiangzhong County, and you are elders from all over the country, with high morals. Gu does not believe the words of officials, but trusts the old gentlemen."
"In the early years, there were endless civil wars, and the old gentlemen suffered a lot. Gu couldn't make up for it, and he couldn't make up for it. Now, Gu hopes that all the old gentlemen can think of future generations."
"If the internal stability is stable, you will get rid of the old gentlemen. If Jiangzhong County is really stabilized and will benefit tens of thousands of people in the Great Xia Dynasty, you will also be able to be included in this merit list. People in future generations must look up."
Gu Jinnian bowed to the elders of the clan.
Watching Gu Jinnian pay his respects, all the clan elders immediately paid their respects back.
Not long after, the clan elders rushed to the various prefectures in a carriage to promote the New Deal.
After watching these clan elders leave, Gu Jinnian's eyes were extremely calm.
After this happened.
Jiangzhong County was completely settled.
There are 50 soldiers and [-] cavalry guarding it, and the old man leads many soldiers to sit in the town.
There are these clan elders to control public opinion and stabilize the internal situation.
Jiangzhong County will be completely peaceful.
The reason why we have to wait another ten days to leave is because, after ten days, we can know how much food has been planted.
In this way, I can finish the final arrangement and go to the next place.
The situation in Donglin County became more and more serious. The King of Qin sent too many military reports, not only about the fire fighting, but also other things that he had to handle by himself.
If you don't go to Donglin County in person, it will be difficult to solve it.
Ten days is nothing to Jiangzhong County.
But for Donglin County, every day is suffering.
Although he understood, Gu Jinnian could only wait.
At this moment.
Great Xia Dynasty.
Donglin County.
In Donglin County, with the word forest, one can know this area with lush trees.
Indeed, there is not much in the whole Donglin County. Compared with the desolation of Jiangzhong County, Donglin County is extremely lush, with valleys and jungles, lush and prosperous.
However, at this moment, the entire Donglin County is indeed blood-red, and above the sky, it looks blood-red, reflecting the hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers.
In the entire Donglin County mountain range, there were still three fires, and there were five before. With the efforts of the Daxia soldiers and the people, as well as the help of a large number of rain charms, two were extinguished.
However, the remaining four places are almost powerless.
King Qin was not incompetent, he immediately asked the soldiers to cut down trees to create a fire-free zone, but there are so many valleys in this place, it is too difficult to stop the fire.
In addition, the place is too large, and 20 soldiers cannot cut out the vacuum zone in one day.
Moreover, the fire is fiercer than a tiger. Once the wind direction changes, the soldiers who went to fight the fire will be turned into ashes.
The only way is to wait for these wildfires to burn outside the valley to effectively stop them, but the biggest trouble is the wind direction.
It's okay to guess correctly, but if you don't guess correctly, you will be in great trouble.
The direction of the wind changes as soon as it is said, and it is beyond human control.
"Water source! Find the water source quickly."
"Water, we need water here."
"No, hurry up, or it will be too late."
An elite group of 500 people was yelling in the woods. They were cutting down trees in this area, but because of a change in the wind direction, the mountain fire hit them.
I didn't notice it at the first time, but the mountain fire was overwhelming, burning at an almost desperate speed.
500 people looked desperate.
"Quickly dig a hole."
In the end, the leader of the hundred households roared and told all the soldiers to dig a hole immediately. They were warriors, buried in the hole, and using the true energy of martial arts, they could barely hold on for a while.
There is a possibility of survival.
Therefore, 500 people dug five large pits at the fastest speed, but at this time they had already felt the incomparably blazing flames.
The temperature was not particularly high, but the wind that was blowing made it difficult for them to breathe.
"It's too late!"
"To live one is one."
Baihu yelled, and he made people jump into the pit directly, one after another.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the fire struck, like a fire dragon, directly devouring the place.
"what!!"
There was an incomparably shrill scream, hundreds of households were pressed on the pit, and more than 200 soldiers did not enter the pit at all. They were burned to death by the raging fire, and they did not die instantly.
Instead, he suffered from the horrible fire, twisted his body in pain, rolled on the ground, and finally died after a quarter of an hour.
Such things are no longer common in Donglin County, they happen every day.
Two hundred miles away.
Standing in the air, King Qin watched the mountain fire, and he could hear the screams of the soldiers in his ears, his face was extremely ugly.
At this time, one after another voice sounded from below.
"Report! Tianyu Army, the third battalion, the second team, three hundred soldiers died in the wildfire, and no one survived."
"Report! Tianyu Army, the third battalion, the second team, 240 soldiers died in the wildfire, 30 were seriously injured, and 30 were slightly or seriously injured."
"Report! Shankui Army, Fifth Battalion, Ninth Team, five hundred soldiers died in the wildfire, and none survived."
"His Royal Highness, the mountain fires in the east have been brought under control, but the fires in the north and south are still fierce. Do you want to retreat?"
followed by a sound.
Qin Wang's face became more and more ugly.
"No retreat!"
"Another five thousand elites will rush to the north and south to control the fire."
King Qin's voice sounded decisive.
"My lord, if we send another 5000 people, the fire in the north-south direction may not be able to be controlled. Now the wind direction is also north-south. Once there is a strong wind, something big will happen."
A soldier who spoke was the confidant of the King of Qin.
"I have to control the fire with my life. Once the mountain fire in the east and the mountain fire in the south merge into one, Donglin County will have no chance to change the situation."
King Qin kept a cold face.
It's not that he has a heart of stone, but the three current fire points in Donglin County.
One is okay, it is in the west. Although the fire is the fiercest, at least it hasn't caused much impact.
However, the flints in the east and south are the most terrifying. Because of the wind direction, the two groups of wildfires are likely to merge together.
Once fused together, Donglin County is really hopeless.
The people of Donglin County can't escape at all, because most of the cities are in the mountains. Although some people migrate, where do they settle down?
Donglin County has a population of 5000 million. With such a large population, being homeless is also a catastrophe.
Therefore, the two groups of mountain fires must not be fused together.
"My lord!"
"It's really impossible. In less than two months, the brothers have already died and injured more than [-]. If this continues,"
The confidant knelt on the ground, crying and begging King Qin to order him to retreat.
"Military orders are like mountains!"
"Send five thousand more elite soldiers."
"Tell them, stick to the position, the way to survive is to stop the fire."
King Qin roared angrily.
He knew that the soldiers were sacrificing, but what he knew even more was that without these sacrifices, more people would die, the people would be displaced, and it would be a disaster for the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Yes!"
The latter wept, but still gritted his teeth and hurried to the south to issue a military order.
Soon, there was another voice.
"Report!"
"My lord, Xianmen still refuses to give the rain-seeking talisman, please make a decision."
With this voice sounded.
King Qin's teeth were about to be crushed.
"Five! This king only needs five rain-seeking talismans, as long as he can control the mountain fire from merging, that's enough!"
"Why didn't they give the five rain talismans?"
"Did you tell Xianmen what this king said?"
King Qin was so angry that he vomited blood. At first, the Great Xia Dynasty asked the immortal gates for rain talismans, and all the immortal gates gave a few of them one after another. Unexpectedly, the fire was so fierce, so they thought about asking for some more.
Unexpectedly, everyone in Xianmen was ruthless and didn't give a single one.
If there is a rain talisman, part of the fire can be stably controlled. It is difficult to extinguish the fire, but at least it can keep the fire under control, give the soldiers a chance, and reduce the sacrifice of the soldiers.
However, Xianmen is extremely ruthless, how can this not make him angry?
"Back to the lord, I have said everything that should be said, whether it is a threat or a request, the fairy gate is indifferent, and even said that it was already meddling in the affairs of the world, if you give it again, it will be considered a mess cause and effect."
The latter spoke out, telling King Qin the meaning of Xianmen.
"This group of dogs are nothing more than seeing that Da Xia is at a disadvantage and want to watch the fire from the other side."
"Karma? I am because of his mother. If I am really afraid of Karma, I will go back to the mountains and never come out for the rest of my life."
King Qin scolded angrily.
He is really angry now, a large number of soldiers died in the fire, how could he not feel distressed?
Moreover, under the flames, not only the soldiers were burned to death, but some civilians who could not escape were also buried in the sea of flames.
These are sins.
"My lord, the Buddhist sect is willing to make a move, saying that they are willing to pray for rain with merit, but the lord needs to agree to the Buddhist sect and settle in the Daxia Dynasty. My lord, do you want to meet someone from the Buddhist sect?"
At this time, a figure appeared, still the confidant of King Qin, he told King Qin about this matter, and asked if he wanted to meet.
"Fomen?"
"Let them go away, my brother hates people from the Buddhist sect the most, they still have the face to come to me?"
"Want to take advantage of the fire to rob? Save the Xiongnu country, this kind of person has face?"
King Qin scolded angrily.
When he heard about Buddhism, he subconsciously hated it, not for anything else, but because Gu Jinnian hated Buddhism.
"My lord, let's meet now. Buddhism is indeed our last hope. If this continues, even if the fire in Donglin County is settled, at least [-] to [-] brothers will have to be sacrificed."
"At that time, the court prince's followers will definitely criticize you, my lord. The disaster situation in Longxi County has stabilized, and your majesty is very happy. But if you let your majesty know that so many people have died here, I'm afraid your majesty will have opinions on you, your lord."
A confidant said in mourning, which was also a reminder to King Qin.
"not see!"
"As long as it lasts until Jinnian, it will be fine."
King Qin gritted his teeth. He didn't care so much. The Buddhist sect came to rescue the disaster, and they must have other ideas. They had bigger plans.
Solved the urgent need, but there will be endless troubles, he is not stupid, and he will not be fooled.
For a while, these soldiers were silent and didn't know what to say.
Looking at this terrifying mountain fire, to be honest, they really don't have any confidence, even if Gu Jin is here, so what?
in this way.
Time passed little by little.
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.
King Qin's luck was not bad. In Donglin County, the two mountain fires in the southeast were not merged due to the sacrifice of 400 people, but the key was because the wind direction changed.
It's just two groups of wildfires, separated by hundreds of miles from the beginning, and now only more than 30 miles apart.
In other words, as long as the wind direction changes again, within half a day, the two groups of mountain fires will completely merge into one.
So Qin Wang wrote nine letters in a row, almost crying and begging Gu Jinnian to come quickly.
He really couldn't stand it anymore.
This errand is really not done by humans.
And just after the letter was sent away, in the camp of Donglin County.
A middle-aged monk walked into the camp holding a string of emerald beads.
This is a Buddhist monk.
He came three times in the past seven days, but was refused to meet each time by the king of Qin, but this time the king of Qin really had no choice but to see him.
When the Buddhist eminent monk came, he spoke very directly, without going around the bush.
Immortals do not give rain-seeking talismans, and Buddhism does not actually have any rain-seeking talismans, but they can use the merits of Buddhism to pray for rain.
Hearing the merits and begging for rain, King Qin immediately thought of Gu Jinnian's twelve great wishes.
However, the other party seemed to see through King Qin's thoughts at a glance.
Can't help but speak out slowly.
"My lord, although the Marquis of Destiny also has the merits of Buddhism, but his merits and virtues of twelve great wishes, in exchange for a lot of luck in Buddhism, can't be turned into wind and rain to solve the difficulties of Donglin County."
"Furthermore, even if there is, forgive me for saying it bluntly, the rain that Lord Hou begged for can only extinguish the fire. This Donglin County has been burned to the ground. How can the resentment of the soldiers and the people be extinguished? There are countless ghosts in this mountain forest." How can resentment be extinguished?"
"Xianmen didn't take action, not because they watched the fire from the other side, but to solve the fire. The most terrifying thing is these resentful souls."
"The disaster in Donglin County can only be solved by Buddhism."
"No one in the world can do it."
"Even if the Mandate of Heaven makes 24 great wishes, it is useless to exchange for merit. Only the first time a great wish is made can one gain immeasurable merit. The world will not accept the great wishes made in the future. Even if they are accepted, they will not give a lot of merit."
"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can find someone to ask."
"Buddhism really can't bear the suffering of the common people, so please ask the prince to make a choice for the common people in the world."
When the eminent monk opened his mouth, he hardly gave King Qin a chance to choose, and every word he said blocked King Qin's fantasy.
But even so.
King Qin still didn't agree in the end, he had to wait.
Wait for Gu Jinnian!
Buddhism's calculations are far more terrifying than fires. If there are other conditions, he can agree.
Settled in Daxia.
This.
Impossible.
Two days later.
Finally, Jiangzhong County also completely ended the first harvest.
