Chapter 971 Recovering the People

"I've heard about this, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I still don't give up. How about we try it out?" Tsuruta Honsaku said.

He knew about the Tang Dynasty's reconquest of the Turks and the princess, but he only heard about it. He didn't believe that the Tang Dynasty was so powerful.

Sakata Wu looked at the Tang army charging over, nodded slowly and said: "I agree, but I can only let your army go into battle."

Tsuruta Honsaku's face darkened and he said: "Fifth General Sakata, I am afraid that my thousand soldiers and horses will not be enough."

"That's enough, their mission is to test the strength of the Tang army." Sakata Wu said.

Tsuruta Honsaku immediately regretted why he had to be so mean-mouthed, why he said he didn't believe in the power of the Tang Dynasty, and what he said was a test. Now that the words had been spoken, he had to carry them out.

"Please, General Sakata, hurry up and take away all the people. I can resist as long as I can."

"Thank you for your hard work. I will speak well of you in front of the emperor and your family master. As for your wife and children, I will also take good care of them."

"Thank you, General Sakata."

Immediately, he led the remaining 1,000 Fusang soldiers to line up in front of the people, waiting for the Tang army to rush over.

Because he saw the Tang army coming on horses, he thought it was mainly a cavalry charge. Therefore, Tsuruta ordered the soldiers to form groups of five, put their shields on the ground, hide under the shields, and use spears to attack them.

It is a pointed spear, with the spear body resting on the shield and the bottom of the spear touching the ground, fixing the entire spear.

After arranging everything, Tsuruta Honsaku showed a smile and said: "I will break your cavalry charge with a spear formation."

Li Derjian saw the opponent's formation and sneered: "A mere spear formation dares to stop us and blow them into the sky with grenades."

Just when they were about twenty meters away from each other, the five hundred cavalry led by Li Derjian stopped. They all took out grenades and threw them at Tsuruta Honsaku's spear array.

"Boom, boom..."

There were bursts of explosions, which were deafening. In addition, there were screams everywhere, corpses were flying everywhere, and broken limbs were everywhere.

Not far away, Tsuruta Honsaku swallowed his saliva and turned around to retreat without saying a word.

Sakata Go, who was farther away, led his army to retreat directly, paying no attention to the group of common people.

Tsuruta ran forward crazily, only hating that his parents had lost two legs.

Fortunately, Li Derjian did not pursue them. His purpose was to recover the people. Tens of thousands of people saw five hundred cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty. They used unknown magic weapons to summon thunder and kill Tsuruta Honsaku's soldiers.

defeated.

This made some people curious, some scared, and of course more curious.

Li Derjian did not chase Tsuruta Motosaku and the others. He walked to the front of the team and said to the people: "Common people, you should have seen the leaflets we dropped.

Let me tell you, everything in the leaflet is true. As long as you are willing to become common people of the Tang Dynasty, then you will have land to grow food, have jobs to make money, and abolish slavery..."

Li Derjian told everything on the flyer. The conditions were so generous that Li Derjian himself wanted to become a citizen here.

Because he knew that there was no such treatment in the Tang Dynasty. Only the people of Fusang, converted into the common people of the Tang Dynasty, could have such treatment.

Once such treatment was known to the people of the Tang Dynasty, there was no telling what trouble would happen.

At this time, the people who already knew the situation heard about it from Li Derjian again, and everyone became uneasy.

Everyone discussed with each other and felt that this matter was unrealistic. This condition was too good. Even in their dreams, they had never dreamed of such a good thing, so they couldn't believe it.

Ordinary people can't believe this, but there is a group of people who believe it, and that is a group of landlords, wealthy people and aristocratic families.

They are very afraid of Li Derjian's policies. Once implemented, their industries will shrink, ordinary people will rise, and their status will plummet.

Seeing that the people had no reaction, Li Derjian said again: "Hetian City will become a city under the jurisdiction of Lantian Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and will be temporarily renamed Li City.

All the people in Licheng will get a household registration book again. With the household registration book, no matter who you are, old or infant, man or woman, you all have a piece of land, and one piece belongs to Licheng, but you can grow food for your whole life.

soil of.

Also, Li Cheng will open a large academy. Children of all ages must go to the academy to study. Depending on the actual situation, a nominal fee will be charged.

Also, we will build many workshops, so everyone will have work to do. In addition to the food obtained from growing the land, we can also make some extra money.

besides……"

Li Derjian said something more about Li Feng's layout, hoping to completely dispel the people's doubts.

A businessman laughed and said: "General, you mean that no matter what our status is, as long as we have ability and knowledge, we can become officials. Is this true?"

"Of course, the purpose of building academies is to cultivate talents. We have spent so much money to build academies and cultivate talents with the purpose of allowing them to contribute in the fields of court, commerce, engineering, agriculture, medicine, etc.

Could it be that just because you are a businessman, I will not allow your descendants to serve the imperial court?" Li Derjian sneered.

The businessman said: "In that case, I am willing to go back with the general. I am a businessman and will become a resident. Therefore, I do not need land. As long as the government gives me a business qualification certificate and business help."

Li Dejian nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem, maybe I will give you a better technology, cooperate with you, and then make money together.

Marquis Lantian's sect has a lot of skills, which you will learn about later. We also brought a lot of grain and seeds."

"Are grain seeds given to us for free?" asked a commoner.

You can tell by his clothes that he is a farmer.

Li Derjian smiled and said: "Of course I will give it to you. For the first time, the government will send grain seeds, and then teach you how to cultivate grain seeds, so that you can keep the grain seeds next year."

"Really, that's great. I'm willing to go back with the general." The commoner smiled.

"I do too."

"And I."

"And I."

"..."

For a time, all the tens of thousands of people wanted to follow Li Derjian back to Hetian City.

Li Derjian was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth from ear to ear. This is what the people want.

He pressed his hand and said: "Okay, if you are willing to follow me back to Hetian City, we will go back to Hetian City. If you are not willing to go back to Hetian City, then please leave. Our Hetian City currently needs to recuperate."
