contend

Chapter 438 Daren
Bullock carts clang and clang past Chang'an City, and groups of common people follow behind, like migrating sheep.

The soldiers were riding on horses, talking, laughing, fighting and making trouble.

The defenders on the city seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and from time to time they dropped a few feathered arrows and threw stones, attracting insults from the Liangzhou army.

Some people got addicted to scolding, and even scolded Simafu, the old turtle, and only dared to shrink their heads in the city, not daring to go out of the city for a while.

Cursing and cursing, even Sima Yi and Sima Shi took them with them.

Most people these days are uneducated and uneducated, so they are not as polite as Wei Guan when they scold others.

Just say whatever is disgusting, and all kinds of filthy words are simply unbearable.

In order to insult the defenders of the city, some rough men walked naked from within a stone's throw of the city, and even greeted the women of several generations of the Sima family's ancestors...

The defenders were blushing, but Sima Fu held back and resolutely refused to fight.

This also made the brigade of cavalry in an ambush behind Liangzhou useless.

Although Chang'an can't be defended after being defeated, there is still interest in smashing the ground after breaking through the city.

With a population of several 10, plus the father and son Sima Fu and Sima Wang, this is a great achievement.

Therefore, the Liangzhou army, who had returned with a full load, passed by Chang'an City intentionally or unintentionally, in order to attract the defenders in the city to fight out of the city.

It's just that Sima Fu's ability to shrink his head is too deep.

No matter how insulting they are, they are indifferent.

Even he himself didn't care, and the defenders gradually got used to it.

Du Yu fought an army of 3 with [-] in the field, and was able to eat [-] from Hebei Yicong. This record has already declared to the world the powerful field capabilities of the Liangzhou Army.

When Ma Chao and Cao Cao fought at Tongguan, seeing Xiliang's aggressiveness, the generals said: "Kanxi has a strong army, and learns spears. If you don't choose a forward, you can't be a striker."

Cao Cao, who was able to kill Ma Chao, cut off his beard and discarded his robe. Naturally, it was not that his soldiers were disadvantaged, but that he couldn't play with Cao Cao's brain.

Today, the well-equipped Liangzhou army with one man and three horses has much better field combat capabilities than Ma Chao did back then.

If you dare not fight in the field, you can only watch the Liangzhou army looting wantonly.

In other cities, there were also some defenders who went out of the city to fight bravely and beyond their means.

Several horns sounded in the wilderness, the earth trembled like thunder, and in a short while, cavalrymen came rushing.

About one thousand cavalry can often easily disperse three or four thousand defenders, like soup and snow, and take advantage of the situation to take the city.

After the successive fall of Xiaoguan and Longyou, most of the elite Yongliang army returned to Liangzhou.

The state and county soldiers had never fought hard, lacked equipment, poor training, and were vulnerable.

The population and material resources of Guanzhong continued to flow up the Jingshui River and flow into Liangzhou.

This period of time was the smoothest for Yang Zheng.

Sima Zhao's army still stayed in Shouchun, and Guanzhong was extremely empty.

Sima Fu can clear Chang'an's walls, but the whole Guanzhong can't do it anyway.

Maybe he has this heart, but the government's administrative efficiency can't keep up.

The common people relocate in peace, and naturally contradict such a decree.

What's more, there are still tyrannical and powerful.

Only Yang Zheng's method of scratching the ground can achieve results.

"More than 27 troops were dispatched in March, consuming a total of [-] shi of grain, [-] jin of dried meat, and [-] jin of pickled vegetables." Su Hong reported in detail.

Consuming nearly 20 grains and more than [-] catties of dried meat a month...

Yang Zheng was speechless.

But he also knew that part of the food was fed to the horses, and part of it was given to the people.

To be willing to be willing, to be willing to have a reward.

"How much did you gain?" Yang Zheng urgently needed to know the answer.

If the investment cannot keep up with the harvest, this game cannot continue.

"Captured 500 people, 11 shi of grain, 37 livestock such as pigs, sheep, horses and dogs, no chickens, ducks and geese, [-] coins in gold, silver, money and silk, as well as iron, pottery, wood, Farm tools, etc. are still being estimated..."

Hearing these numbers, Yang Zheng's heart trembled, what a great harvest!

Not counting the population, food and livestock are almost equal to the input.

It's a bonanza.

No wonder there are so many robbers in history, and the income is too high.

"Why does Ren Yuan have a bitter face?" Yang Zheng was delighted, but Su Hong's face was not very good.

"The general raised the righteous army and condemned the injustice of the Sima family. It's just today's action. What's the righteousness?" People who have read books in this era often have their own values.

Liu Heng focuses on killing people and women, Meng Guan likes astronomy and leading soldiers, Pang Qing is flexible, but Su Hong is the most educated among the benevolent generation.

Yang Zheng said seriously, "How much tax does the Sima family pay?"

"Before the change of Gaoping Mausoleum, it was July [-], and after that, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao repeatedly raised hundreds of thousands of people, and changed it to August [-]."

[-]% of the grain grown by the common people is handed over to...

If the weather is good, you can live without food and clothing, but if there is any turmoil, you will starve to death everywhere.

However, by virtue of their own strength and power, the gentry tyrants can pay less taxes, hide a large number of people and fields, and transfer the pressure to ordinary people.

Taxes are not collected at will.

There are also cost issues, such as clearing up the land and registering households for the people, all of which require an efficient and clean bureaucratic system.

After Emperor Ming, the state of Wei was completely decayed.

The Sima family didn't need to say much.

"How much is the tax in Liangzhou?" These questions are Su Hong's professional field, so the answer is very fast.

"Slave [-], waiting to return [-], governing the people [-], road construction, city building, training during slack farming, government providing food, common people's income exceeds the book figures. The people under Sima's rule also need to bear corvee and other miscellaneous taxes. "

In the beginning, slaves were taxed as high as [-]%.

In recent years, Liangzhou has had successive harvests, the territory has expanded, and the pressure has decreased. Yang Zheng adjusted to [-] to ease the resistance of the slaves and let them concentrate on farming and grazing.

"Since they lived through hardships under Sima's rule, we should have rescued them, isn't it right? Besides, in the next few years, Guanzhong will be reduced to a battlefield. How many people in Guanzhong do you think will survive?" Yang Zheng's logic has long been impeccable.

"This..." Su Hong was stunned for a moment.

Yang Zheng said warmly: "Great benevolence is not benevolent, great kindness is not beneficial, and the highest virtue is not virtuous. Therefore, there is virtue. Does Ren Yuan know?"

Studying with Lu Zhi in the past few years is not for nothing.

"This subordinate is stupid!" Su Hong quickly knelt down.

This also shows his limitations.

Neither Meng Guan nor Pang Qing would ask such a question, and Liu Heng would not think about it at all.

Even Du Yu, who always had benevolence and righteousness in mind, didn't say much.

"Don't look at the surface of everything, and don't be obsessed with it for a while. You need to have a long-term vision. Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. To wipe out the Sima family and restore the world to the world is the greatest benevolence!" Yang Zheng said firmly.

If it were someone else, Yang Zheng wouldn't talk so much nonsense, but facing his disciples and cronies, Yang Zheng still had to give some advice.

In fact, it is good to say it out, there is no need to hide it and ferment it into something else.

If the internal thinking is not unified, the fist cannot be fully punched outside.

Jiang Wei's lesson is right in front of him.

This is also the original intention of Yang Zheng to set up the Xuanyi Division.

Su Hong was ashamed, "The subordinates will remember the general's teachings."
