In the past few days, an unprecedented scene has appeared in the Tangzhou generation. In the past, merchants who used to count copper coins in the rouge shop in teahouses and wine shops came to the ownerless wasteland on the banks of Qishui River with their children and temporary workers.
Although the sowing season has long passed, these merchants are happy to turn over the soil and fertilize them, carefully taking care of these acres that do not belong to them.
This has attracted the attention of many farmers around. You must know that they will not go to the wastelands on Qishui to fill the soil and fertilize them at this time. As a result, the original owners of these lands went to Huainan to escape the war and escaped.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty should belong to the court. Even if they forcibly cultivated them, the fields would not be classified under their own names. Secondly, at this time, even if they were not too late to replant the millet, they would even want to sow the soil and fertilize it.
If you have to rush to the next year, what can I do if I give it to you?
The most important thing is that the merchants who do these farm work are the only meat-friendly people in the past. They don’t stay in the shops in the city to welcome and send off the city. They go out of the city to join in the wastelands and have the strength to go on a mission?
Gradually, news of merchants working together on the fields spread like wildfire, and more and more nearby farmers gathered on the banks of the Qishui River to watch the once-in-a-century scene.
The merchants seemed to care about the attention of farmers at all, and still carried short-term workers to climb over and over and over again and apply fertilizer.
The most surprising thing is that this is not the end. When the merchants' enthusiasm was over, General Li, the head of the Tangzhou generation, actually brought a group of personal soldiers to the ridges to start turning over soil and fertilizing. He was still very busy.
.
Some curious people came forward to ask a few questions, and then they found out that the general had issued a new land policy in the city, to allocate all the fields on the banks of the Qi River and a wasteland behind the Aries Land to this generation of people.
.
The news suddenly exploded in Hanzhong, the village house, and the voices of praise for General Li being the living Bodhisattva came one after another.
The reason why everyone was not interested in those wastelands before was that the court had explicit regulations on the unowned lands and was not owned by the government. Who dared to make an idea? Secondly, the rebels have been marching towards the Tangzhou area recently.
Is it still a big deal to be unable to save my own land? Who has the intention to eat in the bowl and look at the pot?
But now it is not the case. It is said that a small minion under the command of the rebel general Sun Xiaozhe tried to attack Tangzhou City. He led five thousand cavalry to attack the city without knowing his life and death. He was defeated by General Li and led three thousand cavalry to attack.
The general beheaded more than a thousand cavalry and captured more than 500 people.
The minion fled back to Dengfeng and praised General Li as if he was like a god. After that, the rebels did not dare to come to Tangzhou to provoke him. General Li was not satisfied with this and took advantage of the rebels' ability to take the initiative to provoke him.
When he was in a palpitation, he captured Nanyang and Fangcheng in one fell swoop, forming a triangular area.
With such an iron army guarding their homes, why should they take the rebels to heart? General Li said that they would not fall until the last drop of blood was shed!
As for the former, there is no need to worry about it. Now even His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince are fleeing in a hurry, Chang'an City is even captured by rebels, and the court is almost gone, so the regulations are useless?
Now in this world, whoever has a strong fist will be the regulation. Whoever has a strong fist in this Tangzhou area? Of course it is General Li!
I dare not say anything else, in this one acre of three-point land in Tangzhou, his old man's words are imperial edicts! Since he said that everyone is qualified to be assigned a piece of wasteland, why don't everyone apply for it? As a farmer
Who would have thought that there are many lands in your home?
With this idea in mind, more and more farmers went to the county government to receive land deeds from the officers of the Jianghuai Regiment training army with gratitude. From then on, each of them was assigned to twenty acres of barren land, which was collected from the government every year.
Only 20% of the participants are involved. As long as there is no famine, everyone can spend a good New Year comfortably, and perhaps they can save surplus grain.
Once a person has thoughts, he will work harder, for his youth and for his life.
Some careful people even heard that the prefectures and county governments were recruiting township heroes. After learning about the relevant preferential treatment, some young and strong people even started to try. Although most of them touched them after discussing with their wives.
He left this matter behind his head. However, there were still some bold and strong men who signed up as required and went to the county government for requisition on the designated date.
After a whole month of training, these farmers had no negative reactions except for their slightly tired body. In addition to the free meals a day, each of them also received different numbers based on different training performances.
The land acres range from about five to twenty acres.
This is great news. Participating in the village can not only make you free meals but also get unexpected rewards. As for the training farmers who participated, they should consider it as a strengthening body.
They were not worried about killing the enemy in battle. With so many regular soldiers standing in front, they were not the turn of them to carry the sword and spear and fight to the death, right?
In other words, if you really fight to the point where the training of 10,000 Jianghuai regiments is completely destroyed, then everyone can't sit still and wait for death. They have to fight with the rebels for a while. From any perspective, this is a sure profit and no loss.
If you lose all the benefits of things, you will lose yourself. If you don’t do it, you are a fool!
The farmers who received the reward of land and acres would inevitably talk to their wives when they returned home, and the women's houses were full of nagging masters. When these women chatted like this at the entrance and alleys of the village, the whole village knew that
It's right.
How could women hide such good things? They couldn't wait to tell their men the good news. After listening to their wives, the men who were disdainful of the heroes at first became jealous.
Women will inevitably instigate men to say something like "not fighting for steamed buns" or "speaking" at this age in the village. Which men are not full of energy? After the instigation of the wife, the men ran to the county the next day.
The yamen registered and pressed his handprint.
After this incident, by the end of August, the number of rural brave soldiers collected by Li Kuo in the three places had reached more than 5,000. Including the 10,000 Jianghuai regiment training army training, Li Kuo had more than one military force.
Five thousand people.
The rebel general who was already afraid of Li Kuo was even more worried about Li Kuo after hearing about Li Kuo's recruitment measures and did not dare to enter Tangzhou City at all.
As the days passed by, the local heroes had completely lost their spare time after harvesting the wheat. After seeking their consent, Li Kuo decided to change the training for half a day to the whole day, although the training intensity was more intense.
It is not comparable to the regular army, but the content of the training is exactly the same.
Riding shooting, step shooting, close-fitting armed fighting, and array drills are all indispensable in Li Kuo’s eyes!
Because they were local brave men at this time, one day they would go to the battlefield with swords and armor, and to defend their relatives and fight desperately with the rebels in order to defend their homes and protect their relatives.
