Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 176
Zhang Jackal's defeat must be faster than Li Yue expected.

I don't know what this guy was thinking, but he ran to greet Shi Zun's army...

The slogan of Shi Zun's army was the Qing emperor's side, and the target was Zhang Jack himself. He took the initiative, but Shi Zun was naturally disrespectful, and logically beheaded Zhang Jack in the market, and wiped out the three clans.

The Empress Dowager Liu's edict appointed Shi Zun as the prime minister, concurrently led the great Sima, the governor of the capital, supervised the Chinese and foreign armies, recorded the affairs of the minister, held the yellow axe, added nine tins, and added ten counties.

Within a few days, Shi Zunbian, with the support of his ministers, took the throne of emperor in the front hall of Taiwu, made Shi Shi the king of Qiao, and abolished the Liu family as the concubine.

After Shi Zun ascended the throne, he immediately pardoned the world, re-enable Li Nong, and the official was restored to his original post, and he was not held accountable for his defeat.

Shi Jian, king of Yiyang, served as servant and grand tutor.Pei Wang Shichong was the Taibao.Wang Shibao of Leping is the great Sima.Shi Kun, king of Ruyin, is the general.

However, Shi Zun had no sons, so Shi Yan, the son of King Shi Bin of Yan, was made the crown prince, and all the "nationals" who supported Shi Bin, Longteng Zhonglang were all devoted to Shi Zun.

It seems that in order to make up for Ran Min, he was named the Duke of Wuxing County, who supervised all military forces at home and abroad, assisted the generals of the country, recorded the affairs of the minister, and assisted the government.

With various measures, the Yecheng court quickly stabilized.

Li Yue spread the scout battalion all over the east, west, north, south, always paying attention to the situation in the world.

Heiyun Mountain is in the middle of the world, and there are enemies everywhere, so they can only fight at every step.

The surrounding areas of Xingyang are full of ruthless people, and it is difficult to develop. Li Yue then moved the population to Chenliu one after another. Both the army and the civilians under his rule are all put into production, replanting summer grain, hunting, fishing, and gathering. He is very busy.

Shihu set up a hunting ground in the east of Xingyang, which almost became the jurisdiction of the Heiyun Army.

In addition to the Huju River in Weishui in the south, there are two pastures, one in the south and one in the north, where a large number of cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, sheep and deer are raised.

Chenliu's superior geographical location and fertile land naturally became the headquarters of the Heiyun Army.

And Heiyun Mountain became a reserve base, a place for training and hunting, and was garrisoned by Cao Kan.

Xuanyuan Mountain was not as important as it used to be. Li Yue tried his best to defy all opinions and let Yang Lue, the head of the personal guard, lead five hundred Heiyun troops to garrison, while Cui Jin was transferred back to Li Yue's side.

Of course, Chen Liu also has his own problems, except for a few rivers, there is no danger to take back, but now that the Heiyun army is hungry, it is better to have such a piece of land than nothing.

Besides, the water and soil around Chenliu are fertile, which is good for farming and can accommodate a considerable population.

The 29 counties under the rule will remain unchanged for the time being. Cities with strategic value and defensive needs, such as Goushi, Jingxian, Fengqiu, Xiangyi, Dingtao, Shanfu, Chengyang, etc., each stationed with a member of Heiyun and five hundred Hei cloud army.

In wartime, you can recruit nearby Confederate troops.

After moving the town to Chenliu, Li Yue's first government order was the land reclamation order.

Zhou Qian has been farming in the fields, and has made a detailed summary. There are cattle and iron plows. A strong man can cultivate up to ten acres a day. Two oxen, two people lead them, one will plow, one will sow, and two will hold columbine, that is, two oxen and six people, only 25 mu per day.

And many households don't even have iron plows, not to mention cattle.

Relying on both hands and Lei Lei to plan the ground, the better ones are put on iron blades, and the worse ones are made of stone and pottery. The efficiency can be imagined.

"Don't fight weapons yet, hurry up and build a batch of farm tools, donkeys and mules in the army can be leased to the common people." Li Yue looked through the official documents sent from various places.

The main problem is not the lack of fields, but the lack of people.

Today's Heiyun Mountain has a population of 16 and 5000 households. In future generations, it will only be the size of a small county.

Each household cultivates almost 30 mu, or [-] mu of land, which is more than enough for any county in Chenliu.

During the Xingyuan period of Emperor Hedi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 3000 million mu of farmland in the country, and an average of 70 mu in each county ("Book of the Later Han · County and Country Chronicles").

Although the Central Plains is a land of hundreds of battles, the land is still fertile, and the cultivated land is larger than the average level.

"Officials, eight people, two, taxes are too heavy, and people's livelihood is suffering. We should reduce them slightly to attract refugees from all over the world and grow rapidly." Cui Jin's first remonstrance was directed at the fields.

Guan Ba ​​Min Er came from the Western Jin Dynasty, and Yan State and Liangzhou were collected according to this standard.

Shi Le restored the taxes in the early years of Wei and Wu, but after Shi Hu came to the throne, the tax system was basically abolished, and Jie Zhao could collect whatever he wanted and whenever he wanted.

If you can't make it up, you will be served by the death penalty.

"How much is appropriate?" Li Yue pushed the question back.

At the beginning, when the officials were appointed, the Eight Peoples Two, one was to be in line with international standards, and the other was to quickly accumulate strength.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages. If the tax is too high, the enthusiasm of the people for farming and reclamation will be affected.

Cui Jin came prepared, took out a piece of Zuo Bo's paper, glanced at it twice, "It's better to restore the initial system of Weiwu Tuntian, where every 50 people in the Mintun is a village, Sima is placed in the village, and the Diannong Duwei and Diannong School are placed on top of it. In Weibuli County, the government provides cattle and iron plows, and the tax officials are six people and four people. Those who have private cattle are divided equally between the government and the people. The farmer is not allowed to leave the farmland casually. The army is dominated by the southern army. Let’s settle down, and the Heiyun army will be exempted from the tax.”

In the Han Dynasty, the ten taxes were one, and the fifteen taxes were one. During the period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, there were even a few years when the whole country was exempted from taxes.

In the Cao Wei Dynasty, it became divided into six and four, and in the later period of Cao Wei, there were many powerful gentry and extravagance.

This is also the reason why uprisings never stopped during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

After the Yongjia Rebellion, the world was in chaos, and there were no more officials, eight people, and two people. The military leaders from all over the place took what they wanted, and they ate people when they had no food...

Zhou Qiandao: "There are too many disadvantages of the farming system, it is not a long-term solution, it is only suitable for the moment."

Li Yue thought for a while, Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao rose from Chenliu, and it is quite desirable to cross the river by touching him.

And Cao Cao's initial posture was similar to his current self, his eyes were green from hunger, and he had eaten Chen Yu's "grain and meat"...

After Xuchang started farming, he set up field officials in prefectures and counties, and collected tens of millions of shi of grain that year.

The refugees had nothing in their hands. Li Yue provided cattle, iron plows, and fields, and charged [-]% of the tax, which was reasonable.

"The farming system is feasible, but there are only civilian villages and no army villages. The southern army and the Heiyun army must pay taxes, public three private seven!" Li Yue did not want to create a group of privileged classes who were exempt from taxes.

Soldiers are completely exempted from taxes, and many people will entrust their fields in their names, resulting in continuous reduction of government taxes.

If the common people want to obtain private land, they can only achieve it by killing the enemy on the battlefield, that is, granting land with military merit.

After getting the private land, the land tax is [-] points.

It is tantamount to encouraging the people to fight in disguise, binding their interests with those of Heiyun Mountain.

As soon as Shi Hu died, according to the inertia of history, he immediately entered the era of chaos and wars. In the land of hundreds of battles in the Central Plains, the flames of war raged, and there was no time to set up army camps.

"It's true what the general said." The two held hands together without asking any further questions.

With their intelligence, they can naturally figure out the details.

Immediately, a government decree flew from Chen Liucheng to the counties.

There are six officials and four people, and the government also provides cattle and iron plows, which is a rare good governance in this era.

The people under the rule cheered.

However, to implement it in detail, it depends on the county magistrates in various places.

This is also an attempt to see if these people really surrender to themselves.
