The only thing that didn't feel any weird atmosphere was Yun Zheng's horse, the big green horse! It had a great time chasing a white mare on the grass.
It is his nature to chase mares in the spring. Although he is a bit old for a war horse, since his master is the supreme commander of this army, he still has enough mares to chase without having to fight with other stallions.
This right can only be obtained after a lot of fighting and fighting.
Although it was just a small issue of mating rights, the old and frail Da Qing Ma easily gained a huge advantage by relying on the monster of power.
The influence of power is everywhere…
Ever since man gained a foothold in the cruel competition of nature by drilling wood to make fire and making stone tools, he has relied on his own strength to finally gain the right to transform and dominate nature.
Therefore, the emperor can proudly claim that the whole world is the royal land.
The minister can arrogantly say to the creatures on the earth under his jurisdiction: Although the feathers in the sky, the beasts on the ground, and the scales in the river are all my subjects.
The rich man can point to the endless fields and boast to others that all this land belongs to him.
Even a beggar can point to the broken bowl in his hand and say that it belongs to me.
Humans have almost carved up the world. They don't have to consider other people's opinions or the opinions of animals. They rely on their strong position to freely declare their power to the world.
There are strict hierarchical divisions in beehives, and the same situation exists in ant nests. In later generations, some researchers wanted to use the order conditions in beehives and ant nests to explore how the most primitive ancestors of mankind established this power system.
Obviously, this won't work. Researchers soon discovered that human emotions are much more complex than those of bees and ants...
What most researchers don't understand is that humans have this strange behavior of betrayal, but bees and ants do not. They will not betray their king until they die, but humans do.
To people like Wen Yanbo, Yunzheng is a foreign ant or bee. He may be very capable, but loyalty is always a big problem.
Whether it was Pang Ji or the dead Bao Zheng, they were all worried that Yunzheng, an ant and bee that was incompatible with the Song Dynasty ant colony and bee colony, would bring about earth-shaking changes to the stable colony.
From the bottom of their hearts they reject this sudden change. Even if this change is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, they will oppose it unconsciously. For them, unexpected changes are a huge disaster.
threats.
After all, if foreign bees and ants cannot find a suitable place in the Song Dynasty group, they will subvert the order of the group.
Yun Zheng can understand their psychology. After all, he has watched countless episodes of "Animal World" and he knows very well that outsiders from ant colonies and bee colonies come to compete with the queen and the queen to seize control of the nest.
he.
"The boat was sailing far away, its clothes fluttering in the wind. I asked Zheng's husband about the way forward, and hated the dim light of the morning. Then he looked at the house, and ran away with joy. The servants welcomed him, and the children waited for the door.
The three paths are deserted, but the pines and chrysanthemums are still there. Bring your children into the house, and there is a bottle of wine. You can drink from the pot and drink, and look at the courtyard to enjoy your face. You can lean against the south window to express your pride, and it is easy to look at your face and knees. The garden is full of sunshine to make it interesting.
, although the door is set up, it is always closed.
I help the old man to take a rest, and at times he straightens his head and looks far away. The clouds come out of the clouds unintentionally, and the birds know when they are tired of flying back. The scenery is about to enter, and the solitary pine is caressed and lingers..."
Under the solitary lamp, Yun Zheng recited "Come Back" softly. This had nothing to do with his state of mind. He simply liked the clear meaning in this poem. He liked it very much in his previous life, but it was a pity that the beautiful thing "chrysanthemum"
He was ruined by the common people, so he seldom read Tao Yuanming's works, lest he be dubbed "Love Chrysanthemum" by others.
Wang Anshi, who was comparing documents and preparing to make a speech here in Yunzheng, frowned and said: "The Northern Expedition is only halfway through, and it is too early to recite "Hu Bugui" at this time."
Yun Zheng put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Practice it first. When you take off your armor and return to the field, you can take it out to show your noble sentiments."
Wang Anshi snorted and said: "There is no need to recite the article of Five Pecks of Rice as a Little Official. As long as you can succeed and retire, your "Wang Family" old man will personally help you write it in the future, and I won't ask for your money to run the ink."
I’m afraid you won’t be able to let it go!”
"Fame and wealth are nothing more than shit to a certain family."
"You have always hated Buddhism, so don't use Zen Ji as an excuse. Yelu Hongji has no intention of betraying Yanzhou at all. Yelu Yixin is just a pawn who came to find out our determination to continue attacking Yanyun. We are talking enthusiastically here.
You must not be fooled, the preparations that need to be made must continue. After breaking through the Tongtou Pass, we will truly set foot on the land of Nanjing Road."
"You don't believe why Yelu Yixin treated her so well and even gave her the peaches in sugar water that she couldn't bear to eat?"
"My purpose is not to see if Yelu Yixin will betray Yanzhou. My purpose is to focus on the household lists compiled by the Liao Kingdom for so many years when they ruled the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, as well as the geographical atlas of mountains and rivers in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, and the household records.
The original list of registered acres.
We, the Song Dynasty, have never governed the Yanyun Land for a day. Even though we are standing on this land now, if we don't have those things, it will be at least ten or twenty years before we want to truly govern the Yanyun Land.
The so-called government is a government with these original records. Without these things, how can we resolve cases, make distributions, collect taxes, and dispatch labor?
Before we get these things, you must not give up Yelu Yixin’s expectation to buy time through negotiations.”
Wang Anshi rubbed his eyes, looked up at Yun Zheng and said slowly.
Yun Zheng thoughtfully pushed the tea over and said with a smile: "What are you doing, old man? What are you doing by taking away the merit book and soldier list in a hurry today?"
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "What else can we do? Our army must be rewarded. For this Northern Expedition, the army has been preparing for six years. The soldiers have been serving in the army for a long time. After the war, they will naturally return home in glory. If there are not enough
With so many rewards, how can the soldiers fight with peace of mind?"
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and said: "So Lao Wen plans to allocate the fields and pastures here to the meritorious soldiers? It is true that the wool comes from the sheep. It is true that others do not bully me."
Wang Anshi glanced at Yunzheng with disdain and said: "Not every strategy is aimed at you. You don't know the current situation of the Song Dynasty. Although the Song Dynasty is a country of thousands of miles, there is no free land in the four seas.
?
The soldiers fought bravely this time, and the land alone is not enough to repay their merits. Only there is enough land here to distribute to the soldiers, and only in this way can we not let them down."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "Do you always speak so grandly? Although Yanyun land is fertile, it is also a frontier land with endless bandits and horse thieves.
You are worried that the people who migrated here will not be able to survive here. In fact, they will not be able to survive here. Only these veterans can establish themselves here and help you guard the border here.
Next time you talk to me, remove the high-sounding part and just talk about the key points."
Wang Anshi laughed and said: "It's very difficult to deceive you. Can you not tell your subordinates this statement? Otherwise, your subordinates will add conditions for settling here."
Yun Zheng sneered and said: "You are going to use Yanyundi as a test field for your reforms. God knows what weird reforms you will come up with. When you were in the capital, you almost made my family bankrupt. My wife still feels sorry for those who have lost it."
Family business, how can I just watch you fool my subordinates again, they are all my brothers and sisters!"
Wang Anshi rolled his eyes and said: "Your family will be allocated a large piece of land..."
Yun Zheng said angrily: "I'm going to go to sea soon, what do I need from the land?"
Wang Anshi said helplessly: "Your generals will also be allocated a large piece of land."
"Can you buy a certain family with just a little land?"
Wang Anshi dropped the volume in his hand and said angrily: "Tell me clearly, how much do you want? People can't be too greedy!"
"As long as you follow the rules of the early Tang Dynasty..."
"Don't even think about it! Do you know what the equalization of land is about? If you dare to talk like this, do you know how much land will be divided out according to what you said?
According to the provisions of the land equalization system for common people to receive land, middle-aged and young men over the age of 18 are each allocated 80 acres of land and 20 acres of permanent land.
Old men, those who are seriously ill, and those who are disabled will be allocated 40 acres of land, and widows and concubines will be allocated 30 acres of land. If these people are heads of households, each of them will receive 20 acres of permanent land and 30 acres of land.
Miscellaneous households receive land as common people, while industrial and commercial households receive half as much land as common people.
Taoist priests and monks are given thirty acres of land, and nuns and nuns are given twenty acres of land.
In addition, according to the land equalization system, nobles and bureaucrats receive land. Nobles with titles from princes to princes and princes receive permanent land from one hundred hectares to five hectares. Ministerial officials from the first to the ninth rank receive permanent land.
Sixty hectares decreased to two hectares.
Oh my god, how many honorable officers will there be in your army after the Northern Expedition? How many casual ranks will there be? Do you want to grant the land of Yanyun to your subordinates? Go ahead and dream, doesn’t the government need to resettle some Xiang troops and resettle some refugees?
Shouldn’t the government have some land in its hands?”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Twenty thousand people can share all the acres here? I don't ask for all the cultivated land to be given to them, as long as it is land, let them do whatever they want, whether it is grazing or farming.
How did I become the greedy person you call me?"
"By the time of Zhongzong in the former Tang Dynasty, there was no more land for the new people. You don't know this, right?"
"I know, so as long as you don't confiscate the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, I guarantee that they will get enough land for their children and grandchildren."
"You're crazy!!" Wang Anshi roared angrily, and Yun Zheng could even see his trembling little tongue. (To be continued)
