Chen Xi also practiced the tactics of feeding on the enemy, but the difference was that he did not engage in low-level burning, killing, looting, which would have no meaning other than deepening public anger and causing his troops to lose control.
According to the art of war, if you eat the enemy for one minute, you should eat it for twenty. Some people always think that you should go to the enemy to destroy and plunder. In fact, not only is the efficiency low, but it will also reduce the discipline and combat effectiveness of the regiment. Incidentally,
When it comes to discipline, if discipline is abolished, you will lose miserably.
How many battles were fought because the enemy left behind countless treasures when they retreated, and the generals were used to looting and could not control their soldiers to loot, and were defeated easily in the end. This kind of thing does not happen too many times.
In fact, according to Chen Xi's understanding, high-end and high-efficiency food for the enemy is actually not about sending troops to grab food, but sending troops to collect food. Not only is the food collection fast enough, it is also simple and effective. It is very likely that the army will be counter-attacked after grabbing food.
However, the army has not been killed during the food levy. It is said that the food levy can also recruit the leading party. As for the capture of the city, there is no need to do this. The treasury is sealed and everything is available.
It can be said that the real impact of wars on the people in this era is the defeat of the army. As for the winning side, those with brains will not impose excessive taxes because it is meaningless. On the contrary, doing something enlightened, or small favors, to win over the people's hearts is more effective than imposing excessive taxes.
.
After all, exorbitant taxation is not in line with sustainable development. Small favors and benefits can keep people here, and people who can grab half a year's food at a time, or receive three months of food every year, all smart people know how to choose.
Therefore, maintaining the integrity of post-war industries is the most important thing. Directly taking over the enemy's industries after the war is much more clever than the so-called sending troops to seize food. And for this kind of work behind enemy lines, Chen Xi cannot build a party and engage in this kind of work.
Definitely not.
However, people are planning to instigate rebellion to achieve the desired results. Chen Xi's side is much simpler. The family itself is a regional manager. As long as the family does well, it will be easy to handle after the war.
Broken armies, random soldiers, and bandits were all things that appeared on a large scale after the war. As long as aristocratic families were willing to invest their own private soldiers, it would not be difficult to deal with this group of bandits who had lost even their morale.
It can be said that this in itself is a way to build a positive reputation for the family and provide material support from Chen Xi's side. The reason why the family did not do this in the past was that after the war, there were countless refugees in the prefectures and counties.
Benefit, what can you do if you take in the women, children, and children? A family won’t be able to last long if it just raises idle people!
Chen Xi is now directly issuing policies. He just wants population. As for how much prestige the aristocratic family can gain from it, it is enough to turn a blind eye. If you want the horse to run away, it is unreasonable to not let the horse eat grass.
"Yes, we will collect the refugees after the war and provide them with basic living conditions." Zhen Yan nodded and said. To be honest, Chen Xi did not say that the Zhen family did the same thing. For this family that no longer cares about money, reputation
Better points are more important.
Of course, there is also the idea that this family does good deeds in order to spread its branches. There is no way that a wealthy family can get so mixed up that all their direct relatives will die at every turn. It is also drunk.
"There is no problem with this, but if after the fight, we are still in Chenhou's hostile area, and the other party needs these people and offers a suitable price, we will directly hand them over to the other party." Wu Yuan said expressionlessly,
In fact, what she said was mainly for people on both sides of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
"Oh, no problem, that's understandable. Of course, if you do this, your material consumption before will have nothing to do with me." Chen Xi nodded and said that he understood that in fact, this kind of thing would basically never happen.
"What should I do if I have a group of refugees sent here?" Zhang Wei said with a stern expression. He had already noticed the loopholes in it.
"If you deliberately destroy the people and then gather them as refugees, believe me, I will give you a very good price. This price is so satisfying that you can go to hell to pay the bill." Chen Xi said with a sneer, taking advantage of the loophole, hum.
Hum hum, let you drill, catch one and clean up the other!
"What about the Qiang, Hu, Xianbei, and Xiongnu?" Zhang Wei said without realizing it.
"20,000 yuan for young men and 10,000 yuan for women and children." Chen Xi stared at Zhang Wei and said. He suddenly discovered that this guy named Zhang Wei was quite talented. When he realized that there was no benefit to be gained internally, he immediately thought of making money outside.
, but Chen Xi still hesitated and said the price. Population is also a resource.
"This price is a bit low." Zhang Wei's original stern expression quickly changed into a warm smile, and he muttered a few words to express that the price was a bit low.
"Hmph." Chen Xi snorted coldly. He didn't want to communicate with such a person, but let him be the cause of harm to foreigners.
"Mi'er, who is this guy? Which Zhang family?" Chen Xi sent a message to Zhen Mi and asked. He really didn't know much about these aristocratic families. After all, some aristocratic families squatted in one place for hundreds of years.
There is no difference between making your own place like an iron bucket.
"Zhang Tianshi's Zhang family is the one in Hanzhong." Zhen Mi explained to Chen Xi without squinting.
"Oh oh oh, I see. I didn't expect this person to have such a personality." Chen Xi said to Zhen Mi with a smile. It was obvious that he had heard other things from Zhang Wei's words before. Look at Yi again.
The aristocratic families from the state also had expressions of realization on their faces.
Chen Xi does need some people to do the most arduous work. As for whether being a slave is enough, after all, history has proven that slaves have the lowest work efficiency, and promoting slaves to civilians will greatly stimulate slaves' work.
Efficiency, this is very important.
Obviously, Zhang Wei's words have given a warning to all the aristocratic families near the border. This is a business without capital. These aristocratic families have a very strong foundation in the north. They buy at low prices with the left hand and sell at high prices with the right hand. Money comes easily.
"I think everyone knows this. When there are enough acres of land, the most important thing is to retain the population of the Central Plains. If you let the fertile land go barren, you will probably be punished according to your family motto." Chen Xi
Hehe smiled and said, everyone else also realized something.
It can be said that after the opening of the Northeast Plain, the biggest contradiction for the Han Dynasty has changed from the land-population contradiction to the population-land contradiction. Before, there was less land and more people, and the people had no place to plant. Now, there are more people and less land, and there is no place to plant.
There are not enough people in the land.
For aristocratic families, the lack of land and many people is more painful than less land and more people. Seeing that the fertile land cannot be cultivated, it is heart-wrenching. As for the lack of land and the many people, the common people have no land to cultivate. They can do it if they have land.
