Liu Xiang rode into the city and went straight to the treasury battlefield.
By this time, the battle was over, and the prisoners were escorted to the barracks one by one. There were still more than 200 defenders in the treasury, and they were called out to help guard the prisoners.
It was not until daylight broke that the gathering of the prisoners was completed.
Twelve of the Xiaoqi were killed, 18 were seriously injured, and more than a hundred were slightly injured.
Thirty Hu Qi soldiers were killed, five were seriously injured, and more than 200 were slightly injured.
Twenty-one people were killed in the guard camp, 30 were seriously injured, and more than 400 were slightly injured.
Four people in the middle camp were killed, three were seriously injured, and fifteen were slightly injured, all by Deng Mao alone.
A total of more than 1,900 Yellow Turbans were killed, and more than 3,300 were captured. Several hundred Yellow Turbans fled the city and needed to be captured urgently.
More than 650 private soldiers, servants, and government guards were captured.
Liu Xiang asked Cui Yi with some confusion: "Why did so many Yellow Turbans die in battle?"
Cui Yi replied nonchalantly: "The seriously injured ones have all received last-ditch wounds. They can't be saved anyway, so why not give them a happy life."
Liu Xiang shook his head helplessly. The medical conditions in the Han Dynasty were like this, and there was nothing he could do. He made a mental note to set up a medical camp in the future.
He turned around and summoned his own soldiers, and ordered: "Send all the wounded in our army to Yuyang Camp and let the doctors there treat them with care."
"only."
Liu Xiang then said to Cui Yi: "There are more than 6,000 iron official camps and mine slaves outside the north gate. We must not ignore them. Zian led his troops to bring the officials to the government office. Anyone who resists will be beheaded."
After thinking for a while, he said: "My intention is to pardon all the mining slaves and naturalize them as citizens. The mining slaves will endure hard work, and young men and women can be selected from them to recruit into the army. I will write a warrant and take Zian with him."
, read it in public.”
Cui Yi scratched his head in distress: "Lord, I'm familiar with arresting someone. It's just that I'm illiterate and can't read the notice."
Liu Xiang was writing on the long desk and said without raising his head: "There are a lot of people in the side hall. You go and arrest an interviewer and take him to read it. Zi'an, when everything calms down, it's time for you to study and become literate."
"
"I'm going to arrest someone." Cui Yi responded perfunctorily, took the warrant and ran away.
Liu Xiang and Yan Rou looked at each other and smiled. They all knew that Cui Yi didn't like reading.
"Brother Yan, you lead the Hu Cavalry of your headquarters to take over the county army barracks. There are more than 3,900 prisoners in the camp. The personnel are complex and need to be screened one by one by Brother Yan.
Deng Mao's body was shown to the Yellow Turban detachment. Those who were angry and wanted to avenge Deng Mao were pulled out and beheaded. Taiping Taoists among the Yellow Turbans were selected and punished with hard labor.
Among the private soldiers, the sons of powerful families, regardless of their branches, are also selected. The remaining young men are selected to work with the mining slaves to form a new army."
"only."
Yan Rou cupped her hands to accept the order, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Liu Xiang: "Master, from today on, I am no longer a humble boy living in Hu land. I met the Ming Lord and saw the Ming Road. I just gave myself the order
Ziming, Yanrou, Yan Ziming pays homage to the lord."
Yan Rou bowed her hands in a very formal manner.
Liu Xiang returned the greeting and said: "Ziming, from now on we will no longer be humble people. How far we can go ahead depends on our methods."
Yan Rou nodded vigorously and said solemnly: "It is an honor for me to serve you on the hunt. Lord, I am resigning."
Liu Xiang also ordered Wang Xing, the Marquis of the Guarding Army Camp, to lead 500 infantrymen to patrol the entire city, preaching notices to calm the people, and search for Yellow Turban deserters and rebellious bandits, and escort them directly to the barracks.
These are urgent matters that cannot be delayed and must be settled as soon as possible.
Liu Xiang rubbed his temples. It was not the time to rest yet, so he ordered someone to get the household registration.
Yuyang County's household registration records show that there are 68,456 households with 435,740 people. Although many households have fled, and powerful landowners will hide the population, it is a reference at least.
He was considering allocating land to the common people. In the late Han Dynasty, annexation was serious, resulting in many landless peasants. They could only make a living as tenants for powerful landlords, and they also had to perform corvee labor, pay agricultural taxes, land rent, oral taxes and calculations, and were exploited at all levels.
Life was extremely difficult under the circumstances.
Not to mention having enough food, it is already a good year if you can not starve to death. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, your family will be destroyed.
We must allocate fields to them so that they can have food to eat, clothing to wear, and live like human beings.
As long as Liu Xiang can divide the fields, he will get the support of these poor people, and he will have a foundation and real power.
The common people have their own values. They don't care who becomes the emperor. They will support whoever can provide them with enough food.
The stack of yellow household registration books made Liu Xiang dizzy. He pushed the slips and said, "Damn it, I can't make a detailed land policy. I just want to divide the land simply and roughly. I just want to divide the fields."
Distribute it to the poor people, and I will chop off the head of anyone who dares to stop it.
When I thought about it, my thoughts suddenly became clear.
Abolish exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, abolish poll taxes such as oral and rural taxes, abolish all kinds of apportionment, allocate land to the people, pay taxes per acre, use the money and grain to recruit more troops, lay down more territory, and provide more poor people with
Divide land.
As long as the majority of people can be given a way to survive, the majority of people's right to survival can be considered when allocating social resources.
As long as the most basic fairness can be achieved.
As long as most people can see hope.
They will push Liu Xiang forward. As for how far he can go, it depends on how far Liu Xiang can grow.
Liu Xiangxin said: "I am just a fish that slipped through the nine-year compulsory education. I am surrounded by either prostitutes or wolf cubs raised by barbarians. What can I do?
In terms of cunning names and plundering, how can I be the opponent of those sons from aristocratic families? I don't want to compete with them in chess. I want to overturn the table, just to smash them into pieces simply and rudely."
Liu Xiang suppressed his irritability and prepared to change his mind, so he asked his soldiers to bring the prefect, the county magistrate and their Cao Yu and Shu Zuo to see him.
After a while, more than thirty people stood in front of Liu Xiang. He was too lazy to bother with these people, so he said coldly:
"I want to know how much land and property you have in your family, how many people you have hidden, and what you have done to kill people and kidnap people into slavery. I want to know. Please write it down."
He sneered and continued: "Of course, you can write it for others. I'm waiting for your confession. If you can't write it, I will go to your home to check it personally.
At that time, I'm afraid there will be no one left."
After saying this, he ignored everyone's pleas for mercy and ordered his soldiers to take him out and hold him incommunicado.
Liu Xiang didn't want them to confess on their own, but he wanted them to expose each other, build grudges, and cut off some of them's escape route so that he would have someone he could use.
Of course, Liu Xiang is not confused. He can only deal with these people temporarily. When he recruits more talents or trains his own talents, these people will be useless and can be thrown aside.
There is no way around it.
In the afternoon, Cui Yi sent the iron official's account books and management personnel to the government office. He was still selecting the mining slaves and reported that all the mining slaves were excited and there were many people recruiting for the army.
Liu Xiang felt relieved and the iron official was stable.
These people have received the benefits Liu Xiang has brought them. They have obtained the right to survival and freedom from Liu Xiang. In order to no longer become mining slaves who can die at any time, they will definitely fight tooth and nail.
