Li Yunze originally thought that Wang Chongrong was a small person and could be solved in just one battle.
However, what surprised him was that Wang Chongrong was actually a very decisive person.
When he learned that Li Yunze was coming with his troops, Wang Chongrong, who was furious, immediately took action and mobilized his soldiers to abandon Hezhong Mansion and head north to the Jin Dynasty.
Others don't know it, but he, Wang Chongrong, knows it.
Huang Chao's elite main force were basically destroyed by Li Yunze.
Previously, Qin Zongquan was wiped out in one battle. How could a strong man who could sweep thousands of armies with his golden cudgel fight head-on? He didn't have a water curtain hole!
Such decisive behavior really surprised Li Yunze.
Although he has thousands of armored horses at his disposal, he has to cross rivers, climb mountains and pass through obstacles along the way, so there is no way he can catch up with him.
As for bringing all the soldiers and horses together, that's a joke.
With hundreds of thousands of people following him, how could Li Yunze have the time and energy to play hide-and-seek with Wang Chongrong.
Moreover, if a sergeant retires due to injury, retires due to age, or applies on his own initiative, he will be properly arranged.
It's very simple, there is constant production.
It's actually true!
A knowledgeable person will secretly think at this time, 'Jiedu's plan is very big!'
During the autumn harvest, Li Yunze showed off his money-making ability.
As for the other people in the notebook, such as the emperor Li Xuan, the leader of the eunuch group Tian Lingzi, the five surnamed Qiwang family members, etc., they are all small figures who are not worth mentioning.
So everyone followed Li Yunze.
With the covert support of local forces, dynamic groups can do all kinds of evil.
Digging the land was really a matter of hoe after hoe, which made my hands cramp from exhaustion.
The agricultural tools provided by Li Yunze can greatly improve efficiency and reduce the hardship of the people.
Which military governor would use his own private property these days?
"Use these days' seizures to pay for the military and local expenses." Li Yunze's words made everyone unbelievable.
When he was here, the local forces were naturally honest, with the dragon coiled up and the tiger lying down, no one dared to stab them.
In the past, they were called powerful people, now they are called powerful people, and in the future they are called gentry.
The name before Wang Chongrong was Zhu Wen, but because the gifts he gave were very popular with Li Yunze, Zhu Wen's ranking dropped and he was already behind Wang Chongrong.
After all, in this troubled world where force is paramount, being able to fight with fists is the most effective passport.
So every time he went to a place, the first thing he had to do was to uproot the local forces.
Because there is a time and space gate, of course it is extremely calm.
It was really tiring, and I had to sacrifice my body for food.
The most intuitive manifestation is that every time sergeants perform meritorious service, fewer and fewer choose to exchange their meritorious service for financial rewards. Everyone is accumulating meritorious service and preparing to arrange a good future when they retire.
When marching during the day, everyone carried a wooden board on their backs. On the wooden board were written the words that the comrades behind them wanted to learn. They read and learned as they walked.
This is the method Li Yunze summed up after experiencing many worlds to deal with land annexation, the most serious problem in thousands of years.
The first thing Li Yunze did after entering the city was not to recruit girls to enrich the backyard, but to drive away all the people in the previous yamen and replace them with people he brought from Chang'an City.
If the sergeants have relatives at home, they can take care of it themselves. If not, they can rent it to nearby people to plant crops and collect the rent.
After the land was divided, a wedding trend quickly spread throughout Bianzhou.
The army arrived in Bianzhou and quickly took over the city defense.
This place is famous because it was the focus of competition among various forces during the war era.
While Li Yunze was sorting out the acres of land and distributing fields to the people who followed him, he also expressed his position to the entire six counties of Bianzhou that this year's autumn tax would be waived.
There is no requirement to be proficient in the words of saints, as long as you can read and write and recognize characters.
It is already July of the first year of Zhonghe, and it will be the autumn harvest season soon.
But the civil servants under Li Yunze were dumbfounded.
After arranging military matters, the next step was to arrange the lives of hundreds of thousands of people who followed him to Bianzhou.
I bent down to harvest the grain, one plant at a time. The scorching sun above my head lasted all day, and I couldn't straighten my waist.
It is easy to deal with these urban foxes and rats, but what is difficult to deal with is actually the local forces behind them.
The good treatment of retired sergeants has in turn stimulated the enthusiasm for learning in the military. At the same time, morale and support for Li Yunze are also rapidly increasing.
Official fields, fields confiscated by local forces, and fields that became ownerless due to wars were all divided up by Li Yunze.
Moreover, Li Yunze could also take advantage of the opportunity to clean them up for spitting, walking the dog without a leash when going out, stepping with his left foot first when he came to see him to complain, etc.
Either join the yamen of various places, or work in the fields as village officials.
When threshing millet, one does not dare to throw away even a grain of grain.
Sons and daughters can inherit it, and even if it doesn't work, you can adopt a son.
Therefore, the sergeants were very enthusiastic about learning, and Li Yunze provided sufficient resources such as pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and wooden tablets. The entire Xuanwu Army was rapidly transforming into an educated army.
And he knew very well that population was the foundation of everything, so not only could he not starve the people to death, but he also wanted to make them live a better life as much as possible.
He can use gold, silver, various jewelry, etc. to exchange for massive supplies in the modern world to feed everyone.
He has gone through so many worlds, but no one has had an easy time in his little book.
The reason why it is the focus of competition is because it is located in the middle of the world and has developed transportation. Anyone from the southeast, northwest and northwest wants to fight.
However, Yongye Tian can only be inherited from now on and cannot be bought or sold.
Li Yunze believed that with his strong strength as the backing, no one in the local power would dare to cause trouble, and he would even take the initiative to help, giving money, food, tribesmen and girls, just like the Great Magister Guangwu.
Even before the troubled times, not all people had access to these farm tools, let alone iron tools.
Of course, while it is convenient to send troops to attack others, it is also extremely vulnerable to attack.
The family property was naturally confiscated, including all the houses, not to mention the fields.
If you starve to death, you will starve to death. Anyway, there are many people in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course Li Yunze has a plan, but he really doesn't care about these things.
If you don't make money for yourself but use it to support soldiers and people, you must have a grand plan.
With this division of land, the cohesion and loyalty of the army soared again.
That's right, it is Bianzhou in Bianliang City, which will also be the famous Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo in the future.
Not only the common people, but also the military officers and soldiers were assigned to Yongye Field according to their respective military merits.
In times of war, iron tools were one of the most valued resources by feudal townsmen. Specially made agricultural tools were basically taken away and melted to make weapons and armor.
It is difficult for modern people to understand how tiring farm work is. In an era of low productivity, this is really a matter of exchanging life for food.
Most of the governors of the feudal towns don't care, as long as the men and girls can receive money and food on time, as for the life and death of the people, that is their own business.
Li Yunze can't do it. He's not here to serve as a vassal. He's here to save the people who are struggling in troubled times.
If it doesn’t work out, let’s wait until next year to save some money.
The incident in Hezhong Town was an episode, but the effect was still significant.
Moreover, Li Yunze opened literacy classes in the military to teach sergeants how to read and write.
Once you have your own property, you must have an heir to inherit it. Naturally, there will be a trend of weddings, and even the price of local betrothal gifts will soar.
The scholars he recruited knew very well what kind of thing the Tang Dynasty was. If they stayed, they would definitely not end well. After all, the positions were limited, and they could not stand up without a foothold.
If not, then you have to scratch your head into the Mediterranean Sea and think hard about how to improve productivity.
You can grow it yourself, rent it out, or even abandon it. But you can't buy or sell it. If you find it, you will not only be severely fined, but it will also be confiscated.
Li Yunze made it clear to everyone, both the sergeants and the common people. He also wrote clearly in black and white on the land deeds that all the fields would be converted to Yongye fields and the oral allocation of fields would be cancelled.
He had no choice but to take out a small notebook and write down Wang Chongrong's words in bold and bold words, and also drew a circle to show the key points.
After the autumn harvest, Li Yunze also offered high prices to buy the surplus grain from the people.
Not to mention watering the land, running back and forth carrying the bucket, wearing away the calluses on my shoulders layer after layer.
While cleaning up local forces, the crackdown on urban foxes and dynamic groups in various parts of Bianzhou was also carried out simultaneously.
As for whether the farmers would starve to death after most of the grain was taken away, the imperial court and the governors in various places basically didn't care.
But after he leaves, as time goes by, his true colors will inevitably be revealed and he will become a moth that corrodes the country.
In the past, he directly declared that all the land belonged to the emperor, but now he was just a military governor, so it was not easy to say this.
As for the candidates to replace them, they were all recruited and arranged by Li Yunze when he was in Chang'an City, as well as retired military sergeants.
Bianzhou, you will know where it is just by looking at the name.
Then distribute these things to the people for free.
Li Yunze is very familiar with this place. Although it is very different from more than two hundred years ago, it is Bianzhou and Kaifeng Prefecture after all. No one in the world is more familiar with this place than him.
Things are progressing smoothly, although there are some obstacles, but in the face of the swords of tens of thousands of soldiers, any kind of obstacles are nothing worth mentioning.
Fortunately, Li Yunze is tax-free and paid. Whether in the military or in the local area, bachelors can basically afford wives.
Before going to bed at night, the scholars accompanying the army would gather the soldiers in battalion units to teach them knowledge for an hour.
Without the autumn grain, even if no taxes are sent to Chang'an City, what will they eat and use?
It is true that the previous seizures can support the grain harvest until next year, but everyone agrees that those seizures belong to the private property of the Jiedushi.
This is very important. One thing that China has been unable to change for thousands of years is the intricate local power.
There have been too many such things throughout the ages.
The people naturally cheered and shouted that Jiedu was the reincarnation of a saint.
But if the local forces are dealt with first, then these urban foxes and social rats will really be beaten by everyone, and even a group of farmers can be dealt with with hoes.
No matter how they behave, whether they are good people or evil people, the root cause is that local snakes are entrenched in the place.
People in many places can only use wooden farm tools to do farm work.
On Li Yunze's next journey to Bianzhou, no one in the military towns dared to be careful. Even when the common people took the initiative to defect, they turned a blind eye.
Not only them, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of local people in Bianzhou also fall on his shoulders.
Not to mention low production efficiency, the losses to users are also great.
Suddenly, many smart people chose to take the initiative to take action, which was regarded as a kind of horse betting.
He also built numerous waterwheels on the Bianhe River, led people to dig countless canals, and so on.
He ordered a large number of ironware and a variety of agricultural tools from the modern world, including but not limited to sickles, rakes, iron plows, hoes, poles, baskets, carts, bamboo sieves, shovels, threshing machines, etc.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
But this is not what he wants.
Compared to directly requisitioning food, spending money to buy it made the people smile.
After working so hard to finish the autumn harvest, Li Yunze finally had time and energy to consider his expansion plan.
It is a tradition to go to war after the autumn harvest.
The first target Li Yunze set his sights on was Songzhou next to Bianzhou!
Received Zhang Hui, the daughter of Zhang Rui, the governor of Songzhou.
