Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 134 Complaining straightly (subscribe for the seventh watch)
Chapter 138

Ran Ming stood at the entrance of Longtan Valley, looking at the valley reddened by the fire, with no expression on his face.

The screams of the soldiers of the Di Qin Army in the Longtan Valley became weaker and weaker, but the smell of burning human flesh was getting stronger and stronger.Ran Ming said to himself: "This damn war should be over!"

At this moment, a large group of soldiers of the Qin army appeared at the entrance of the valley, and the soldiers of the Wei army guarding the entrance of the valley were about to fire crossbow arrows, but an accident happened.

The soldiers of the Qin army who rushed out of the valley plopped and knelt down, throwing the weapons in their hands on the ground, and those who could speak Chinese shouted loudly: "Stop fighting, we surrender!"

The Di people, who can't speak Chinese, raised their hands high with their own hands without weapons. The attitude was also very obvious, surrender, surrender unconditionally!

"Teacher, what should I do?" The eldest disciple Chen Yong was stabbed in the face during the battle. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep. Under the light of the fire, the scar looked a bit hideous.

Ran Ming sighed, he still couldn't be cruel.If it was Xianbei or Jie people, Ran Ming would kill them all without hesitation.But this is the Di people, in the parallel historical time and space, during the chaotic period of Wuhuluanhua.Di, Qiang, Jie, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and clan were the weakest in combat effectiveness, and relatively caused the least massacres and tragedies.

But thinking of the massacre that the Di people committed in Luoyang, Ran Ming's eyes turned red at that time, and the benevolence of a woman is still unacceptable.Ran Ming thought for a while and said: "Gu's point of view is very clear, that is, blood debt is paid with blood, and violence can be controlled with violence. If you kill my big man, just kill him and come back!"

Chen Yong said, "Yes, teacher, the disciple understands!"

There are still many Di people who did not burn to death in the Longtan Valley fire, and 4000 people escaped one after another.But only [-]% escaped.All the prisoners of the Qin army knelt at the mouth of the valley and were questioned by the soldiers of the Wei army.

According to post-war statistics, the Ran Ming tribe had nearly a thousand casualties this time, of which more than 130 died in battle.The elite scout army suffered heavy losses, with [-] people killed and more than [-] injured. They basically lost their combat effectiveness. Even Ran Ming's [-] disciples and more than [-] sticky pole students also lost more than [-] people.

Although the loss is large, the gain is not small.The Qin Army's [-] Eastern Expeditionary Army was almost wiped out by the entire army.

Fu Luo was burned blind, Guo Qing was burned to death directly in the fire, Shi Yue and Yang An were also burned.The entire army of the Qin Army's Eastern Expedition was wiped out, and the more than [-] stones of grain and grass it carried became Ran Ming's spoils of war!

Collecting captives and cleaning the battlefield, Wei Jun is very busy!After all, it is exciting to win a battle, and to beat the strong with the weak.

Ran Ming started his battlefield teaching again: "You guys analyze it, what should we do now?"

"Teacher!" Guo Yue said anxiously: "Those captives have already surrendered, and it is ominous to kill and surrender! Besides, Confucius said, Yide complained! We are..."

Ran Ming suddenly turned around and interrupted Guo Yue's words: "Confucius never said that he complained with virtue. "The Analects of Confucius" says, how to repay virtue, repay virtue with virtue, how to repay grievances, and repay grievances directly. The Di people invaded our big Wei, massacred the people of our country Wei in our Luozhou, and now it seems that we can’t beat us, can we forgive them? Our ancestors left a rule that murder pays with life, and debts are paid back...”

"Yes, teacher!" Chen Yong gave Guo Yue a hard look and reprimanded him in a low voice, "There are no rules!"

Ran Ming is in a bad mood, benevolence and righteousness have been the moral standard for thousands of years.People who are good are bullied, and horses who are good are ridden by others.Ran Ming didn't expect his disciple to have such a pedantic person.Ran Ming's disciples concluded the post-war meeting, but Ran Ming was so angry that he didn't even attend.

Early the next morning, Ran Ming left Xin'an with the only three remaining captives, heading towards Yima.As soon as he arrived at the border of Yima, he met Jing Zhan's messenger.

Ran Ming was very excited when he received Jing Zhan's messenger. Originally, he planned that Jing Zhan could seize Hangu Pass in Taolin and cut off the back route of Fu Luo's eastern conquest. Hongnong County!There is only one Tongguan to defend in this pass!

When Ran Ming led his troops to Taolin, it was already dark.

However, there are countless people in Confucian costumes standing outside the gate of Hangu Pass.Jing Zhan himself is dressed in military uniform, which makes him stand out from the crowd!The people here include Yang Sheng, the prefect of Hongnong County, and Yang Ji, the contemporary patriarch of the Yang family of Hongnong!
Speaking of this Yang Ji also has a lot of background, he is the grandson of the third Yang Yang in the Western Jin Dynasty.Hongnong Yang's No.12 Patriarch!
The Hongnong Yang family only supports Ran Wei because Ran Wei is strong enough. From Ran Min's series of actions, it can be seen that Ran Min is ready to stand on his own!
During the Eight Kings Rebellion, Empress Jia and Chu Wangwei joined forces to punish the Yang family, and the Yang family never entered the core of the Jin Dynasty. Naturally, the Yang family was unwilling to fall from a first-class wealthy family to a second-rate noble family, so they chose Baoran Min's thighs!
"See His Highness the King of Chu!" After exchanging pleasantries, he followed Jing Zhan to the government office of Taolin (Lingbao) City!

Ran Ming is familiar with the nature of these gentry, and he didn't tell them about the righteousness of the nation. These gentry have always regarded the righteousness of the nation as fart.

Ran Ming directly said to Yang Ji: "The Hongnong Yang family is a world-class wealthy family, and there are many outstanding people in the family.

If Dawei wants to gain a foothold in Hongnong County, he cannot do without the support of Hongnong Yang.Now that the great Wei is waiting to be rejuvenated, it is time to employ people, and I hope that the head of your family will support the great Wei! "

Yang Ji is in his fifties, youdao is an old man, he naturally understands the kindness that Ran Ming expressed to Yang.Yang Ji smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Yang family fully supports the Great Wei. The Hongnong Yang family has encouraged 3000 young and strong to join the army, [-] shi and rice grain. [-] million yuan!"

Ran Ming said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your support to Wei! But Wei still needs Yang's heroes. Now there are basically no officials in the counties of Luozhou, so I hope Mr. Yang can recommend one or two!"

Yang Jidao: "This is natural!"

Ran Ming said: "Wu Huan Hua, my son of the Han family has suffered heavy losses. The top priority now is not only to train a new army to defend the country, but also to restore farming and build water conservancy as soon as possible!"

Yang Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I will obey the order!"

Ran Ming asked someone to take out a knife in Qingzhou to make rice paper. Why did Ran Ming carry rice paper with him at all times? This has something to do with his habits. Ran Ming is a descendant.People who are not used to this era use wood chips to clean the chrysanthemums after going to the toilet.He was very prodigal and used rice paper to wipe his ass.Fortunately, not many people know about this situation, otherwise Ran Ming would not be able to lose the title of the world's number one prodigal son.Ran Ming handed the rice paper in his hand to Yang Jidao: "Sir, what do you think of this paper?"

Yang Ji picked up the rice paper in Ran Ming's hand and looked at it. This kind of rice paper is thinner than Caihou paper, softer than Zuobo paper, light in weight and good in water absorption. It is the best paper for calligraphy and painting.The Yang family of Hongnong also inherits the scholarly family, so they naturally know the goods.This is not the Cai Houzhi that Yang Ji knew, nor Zuo Bozhi.Yang Jidao: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Ran Ming said: "This is exactly a business I want to cooperate with the Yang family!"

The gentry have always been disgusted with merchants, but they are not disgusted with money.Yang Jidao: "What is the price of this paper?"

"Eight hundred dollars per knife!" Ran Ming said, "This Qingzhou Xuan paper is less than [-]% of the price of Caihou paper, and only [-]% of Zuobo paper! If it is popularized, it will be enough to benefit scholars all over the world!"

Yang Ji didn't understand what Ran Ming meant, and asked, "How to cooperate?"

Ran Ming said: "Simple, unique technology, Yang's success, the profit will be divided into [-]-[-]!"

Yang Ji murmured in his heart that this kind of rice paper is of high quality and the price is too cheap. Once it is launched, there may be no market for Caihou paper and Zuobo paper.The interest among them must be an astronomical figure!If Yang's launches this kind of cheap paper, it can win Yang's reputation among scholars, which is a great thing to make money without losing money!

Although there is no saying in this era that "there is no such thing as a free lunch", Yang Ji also understands this meaning.He immediately reacted, "What other conditions does Your Highness have?"

Ran Mingdao: "At the beginning of the Great Wei Dynasty, Hongnong County was acquired, but people's hearts were not attached. If you want the people to agree with the Great Wei, you have to show something. Gu means that the Yang family will come forward and reduce the land rent in Hongnong County! Thirty tax one Therefore, the Yang family in Hongnong County should be able to set an example and take the lead."

Yang Ji calculated in his mind that the Yang family was the largest landlord in Hongnong County, with more than [-] lands under his name and tens of thousands of tenants under his name.

Cutting interest rates can reduce class conflicts, and in this way, Yang's loss will be great!Yang Jidao: "Young's loss is too heavy!"

"Xuan paper profits will be divided into Yang's [-]%!" Of course, Ran Ming knew that the reduction of land rent was to let Yang's flesh be cut, but in this era, Wei State did not have the strength not to rely on the gentry.The strategy of attacking the local tyrants and dividing the country and land cannot be implemented at all in this era. If you dare to take over the land of the gentry, that is to cut off the family's financial resources.

Taking money from someone is like killing your parents.The gentry seemed to be in opposition to the state of Wei. Without those barbarians fighting, Ran Min would be unable to parry if these land lords were united with their armed forces.The only way to ease the conflict is to exchange interests!After the Wei State unified the whole country and the imperial examination system was fully implemented, it was possible to slowly settle accounts with the gentry.

Ran Ming said: "Ten magistrates. Two prefects!"

"Eighty percent" Yang Ji was very calm. He calculated that Yang's land rent is now 30%, and if it is reduced to [-]% of the tax, he will lose more than [-]% of the land rent and lose at least [-] shi of grain per year.

In fact, most of Yang's fields are now abandoned and no one cultivates them.The reduction of land rent is also beneficial to Yang.Yang Jidao: "Twenty county magistrates, six county prefects, and at least one Jiuqing!"

It was originally a very serious question, but in the end, Ran Ming and Yang Ji turned into a vegetable market.Yang Kai, Jing Zhan and others couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Ran Ming finally gritted his teeth and said: "Xuan paper benefits Yang Cheng accounted for [-]%, fifteen county magistrates, two county prefects, Mr. Yang can enter Yecheng as a young mansion! This is the biggest concession for Gu, and he agrees with it, and disagrees with it! "
