Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 43 Binding
With heavy armor on the body, the casualties were not very heavy.

Except for a dozen who were killed on the spot when they were poked in the front door, most of the others were only slightly injured, but the prisoners suffered a lot of casualties.

Li Yue couldn't handle it alone.

In the afternoon, Yueji took people down the mountain, besides the 13 of them, there was also a handy woman on the mountain.

Zhou Qian went down the mountain together.

Without waiting for Li Yue's order, they were all busy with their own things.

Yueji leads people to treat the wounded, Zhou Qian counts the population and fields, and Li Yue appeases the city.

Zhou Qian was the most efficient, with hundreds of people, the counting was completed within two hours.

"There are more than 45 Jijiabao Dingkou, 430 mu of land, and the crops in the fields have grown. There are 22 cows, mules, and donkeys, 28 sheep, [-] dogs and hogs, and the rest are chickens and ducks. There are more than [-] geese, [-] sets of iron armor, more than [-] sets of leather armor, [-] spears, [-] ring knives, the most bows and arrows, [-] bows, nearly five Thousands of arrows."

It's astonishing in detail.

Zhou Qian added: "The population and land are all on the household registration, and the subordinates have not yet left the city to measure it."

"It's enough." Li Yue was very satisfied with his efficiency, as expected of Zeng Jin's county magistrate.

Zhou Qian reminded: "The general sent up the gold, silver, money and silk. How will the soldiers be rewarded? There are quite a lot of complaints in the army."

Slaughter is not allowed, looting is not allowed, and women are not allowed to touch, and there are no rewards, of course the soldiers will have opinions.

The soldiers these days are not good men and women.

It is far from enough to say "get rid of Jie slaves and restore my country". Not everyone is so lofty, and many people come here just to burn, kill, prostitution and looting.

Human nature has an upper limit and a lower limit. If you don't follow human nature, how can others be willing to sacrifice their lives?
Li Yue had already thought about this issue last night.

The most stable relationship is the bundle of interests.

The benefits can also be divided into short-term benefits and long-term benefits. Rewarding them with gold, silver, and silk is a short-term interest, and this is not a good habit. In the future, what should we do if we don't have so much money and silk rewards for fierce battles outside the city?
Fighting for money is not a long-term solution. If other people offer a higher price, wouldn't the soldiers immediately defect?

Besides, what is the use of gold, silver, money and silk these days?

Even if you can buy things, they are too expensive. Affected by the floods, a liter of grain in Hebei has risen to two taels of gold!
So the most direct wealth is land!

Those without real estate have no perseverance. In order to protect the land they own, they will fight with the Jie people until the sky is dark and the earth is dark.

"Divide the fields!" All Li Yue could offer was the land.

[-]% of the land in Jijiabao belongs to Ji Yong himself, and the remaining [-]% ​​belongs to the Ji clan. People with foreign surnames are basically serfs, so it is not bad to get [-]% of the harvest.

"The general is brilliant!" Different from the flattery in the past, the reverence in Zhou Yan's eyes this time is very real.

In fact, these are not innovations. Wu Qi divided the farmland among the Wei Wuzu, and the Qin State plowed and fought to establish the country. They all played like this. "The soldiers and scouts in Heiyun Mountain each have ten acres, and the land tax is divided into [-]-[-]."

"[-]-[-]?" Zhou Qian frowned.

Li Yue thought that he had collected too much, and that half of each soldier's harvest was handed over, which was already a heavy tax.

Zhou Qian cupped his hands and said: "It's too high, and my subordinates think Sanqi is appropriate."

Zhou Qian is undoubtedly an expert in this area, "Let's just take thirty-seven, we collect [-]% of the land tax every year, which is enough."

Li Yue, Cui Jin, Wei Shan, and Zhou Qian, there are only four leaders in total, plus Bo Wu, Heiyunshan's burden is not too big.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qian's eyes became strange, "Subordinates mean three officials and seven officials."

Li Yue stared at him blankly, which was a bit cruel.

Zhou Qian explained: "The world was in chaos. Murongxian rose up in Liaodong, set up overseas Chinese county, appointed officials, eight people and two taxes. The people in Hebei abandoned Wang Jun and Cui Yu and his ilk, and voted for Murong Xianbei, and Murong grew stronger from this. Shile destroyed Wang Jun. , ordered to read Shizhou County, and each household should pay two pieces of silk and rent two hu a year, which is only three officials and seven officials. Hebei is full of people's hearts. Today, the general's land is only a hundred miles away, and there are more than ten thousand mouths. Although light corvee and thin taxes can conquer people's hearts, but the accumulation is too slow, which is a big disadvantage. What's more, the tax paid by the general Sanqi is already the highest in the world, and it cannot be reduced any further."

Li Yue really made the problem simple. There are not only these soldiers and scouts on the mountain, but also old and weak women and children. "Thank you Chang Shi for teaching me."

The evaluation of Zhou Qian in my heart has gone up to a higher level. Although he is not a strategist, he is very good at practical affairs, and he takes care of the mountains and the mountains in an orderly manner.

Zhou Qian returned the gift, "This is the duty of the subordinate."

As soon as the news of the division of fields was released, the soldiers and scouts were all excited.

On Heiyun Mountain, those who are hungry and full, not to mention the fields, don't even have to wear clothes. This is the real abject poverty.

Even their people used to belong to the leaders, driven at will, no different from cattle and horses.

Now that there is land, there is a home and a stronger cohesion.

Li Yue actually tied people up with fields.

"The general is our reborn parents!" More than a dozen old soldiers knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, and the eyes of the young soldiers also glistened with tears.

Shouting ten thousand slogans is not as effective as these ten acres of Susukida.

And now, they also know who is really good to them.

"It's worthless, it's only ten acres of land, and we will get more in the future when we regain our homeland." Li Yue looked at these ragged people, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, flipping through the thick history books, our clansmen seem to be in the same place forever In the midst of hunger and cold.

There are very few dynasties that can eat and clothe themselves...

For ten acres of land, [-]% of the land tax will be handed over.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, one mu of good land produced about 260 catties of soybeans and millet per year, and the food that fell into their hands in a year was only six to seven hundred catties. A strong man had no high-calorie supplementary food such as meat and fish, and consumed at least two to three meals a day. kilos of grain...

In other words, throughout the year, you have to tighten your belt to live.

Although there are few fields, the impact on them is unprecedented.

The eyes of the soldiers turned red, "Get rid of Jienu, restore my country!"

"Get rid of Jie Nu, restore my country!"

The whole dock was shouting crazily, more sincerely than ever before.

They now truly understand the meaning behind these eight characters.

Whether it is fighting or farming, it is necessary to stimulate people's enthusiasm, that is, to liberate productivity.

Now the fields are theirs, and the war is theirs, so naturally everyone uses their lives.

Li Yue has studied for a few years at least, and knows that any power that wants to rise must make a fuss on the land.

"I'm also willing to follow the general to drive away Jienu and restore my country!" The people from Jijiabao also came after smelling the smell, their eyes lit up.

"Go, go, you cowards are worthy!" the veterans of Heiyun Mountain said contemptuously.

"Who said we were cowards? If we didn't want to follow Ji Yong to join the enemy, would you be able to enter Jijiabao?"

"I bother!"

The people on both sides quickly met, the Jijiabao people were unarmed, and the Heiyunshan people carried knives.

In fact, Li Yue was quite satisfied with the people in Jijiabao. He almost wiped out the [-] elite people in Fangtou. Although it was an ambush, their fighting power should not be underestimated.

What Li Yue appreciates the most is that they are bloody.
