"The current background is the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Droughts often occurred, catastrophic disasters also occurred frequently, and it was not uncommon for ordinary people to starve to death."
"However, anyone who has attended junior high school or studied politics knows that this is not simply caused by underdevelopment of productive forces, but by problems in the distribution process. All the income earned by ordinary people's hard work has been plundered by powerful families."
This point has not changed since ancient times.
However, in the past, powerful families used land as a means of production to plunder ordinary people, but in later generations, capitalists used capital to plunder ordinary people. It cannot be said that they are very similar, they can only be said to be exactly the same.
"This is our destiny and our great righteousness. Therefore, those who think that there are good people in powerful families can take a break."
"This is not a dinner treat!"
Even if there are some so-called good people in the family, he is not innocent. The food he has eaten since he was a child is all due to his personal status and the family he belongs to.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the so-called good people in the aristocratic families grew up eating the blood of the common people, eating the flesh of the common people and drinking the blood of the common people.
In front of everyone, Guan Ming once again emphasized that it was reasonable for the people to rebel, but fortunately, at least those sitting here in the meeting all agreed with his point of view.
Although Guan Ming felt that even the people sitting here couldn't tell what they were thinking, he still understood the truth that no one is perfect despite his deeds and his heart.
The topic changed: "In the feudal era, when troubled times came, food and iron were the most important. In the short term, we can obtain initial resources by collecting food from powerful families. As for the long term, we can use advanced agricultural production
ways to improve agricultural production efficiency to solve the food problem."
Huang Zixing has already proved this in Beihai County.
In fact, today's Han Dynasty still has quite a lot of places that have not been fully developed. Not to mention the south, even in the north, except for the Central Plains, the development of other places is also very incomplete.
Even the Central Plains, which has been developed from the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the present day, still has the potential for further development.
Even if the land is almost fully developed, a large number of dry fields can be transformed into paddy fields through the construction of water conservancy projects, and the output can easily be doubled.
In addition, there are a series of methods such as farmyard manure, soil fertilizers, high-quality grain seeds, iron farm tools, advanced farming methods, etc. to improve production efficiency.
"So, food can be ignored for the time being. As for iron, there are iron mines in Nanyang, and there is a small iron mine in the county next door. After we occupy it, we can directly open the mine."
"So, what remains is the military issue. Can our military power maintain our good farming development."
Nanyang is very close to Luoyang!
The straight-line distance is only two hundred kilometers. Of course, considering the current era, it is impossible to travel in a straight line between counties. The actual distance must be circuitous, but no matter how many twists and turns, it cannot change the two.
Geographically very close to this point.
If someone rebels in Nanyang, it is estimated that the officials in Luoyang City will be so frightened that they cannot sleep. Three shocks a day are rare. By then, He Jin will definitely be urged to put down the rebellion at all costs.
"So, at the beginning of the army, we will not raise the flag for the time being, and think about the surrounding counties as a powerful person."
"We will annex one powerful person after another in the form of private fighting between powerful people. They will annex ordinary people, and we will annex them."
The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimps. This is the rule of the Han Dynasty today. The powerful merge with the powerful, and then they are blackmailed by aristocratic families.
As for when a powerful force merges with a powerful force, thousands of people will be drawn out to fight privately. This kind of thing has long been used by everyone.
Not to mention the struggle between powerful forces, it is not uncommon for two villages to fight for water, and hundreds of men will be dispatched at once to start working directly with poles and hoes!
What can the government do in this situation?
What can the county magistrate do?
Of course, just pretend that nothing happened!,
When powerful and powerful forces merged and both sides sent out thousands of people, what could the county guard do? The most he could do was give a verbal warning.
When the county guard thinks you want to rebel, you'd better really have the strength to rebel...
"In the process of powerful mergers, the training of officers will be accelerated. One qualified commander, ten unqualified commanders, and a hundred recruits will form a new training camp."
"These training camps will be sent to combat camps to compete with other powerful private soldiers on the battlefield. Each combat camp will be equipped with three veterans' camps and one recruits' camp in the future, with the old leading the new."
The military establishment in Daxia is no different from that in the Han Dynasty. They are all commanders, commanders, captains, camp commanders, military marquises, army commanders, and school captains.
The difference is that when it comes to the level of military princes, the Han Dynasty may only bring two hundred people, while Daxia directly brings four to five hundred people.
"Those who survive will quickly transform into veterans, and then we will allocate fields to them. Just like Beihai County, the ownership of the fields is theirs, but considering the shortcomings of the soldiers, they are all handed over to the agricultural department for cultivation. Just get food or money directly."
During the Tang Dynasty, each soldier was given 100 acres or 200 acres of land. The soldiers prepared their own weapons and armor and participated in wars when called upon by the court.
Normally, there is no need to pay extra money. The one hundred acres of land or the two hundred acres of land include all the income.
It sounds very convenient, but since there are not many soldiers in the government, the land can easily be annexed by the superiors or people from other aristocratic families. If it is annexed, there is nothing you can do but watch it.
Secondly, Fu Bing's family has a limited labor force and cannot cultivate 100 acres or 200 acres of land. Once he goes to fight, the family's labor force will decrease rapidly and his income will drop sharply again.
Then it fell into a cycle: the battle was defeated, there was no reward from the monarch, no one in the family farmed, and the economy went bankrupt. In other words, even if no one embezzled the property of the soldiers, the economy of the soldiers would collapse sooner or later.
Therefore, when we arrived in Daxia, it was directly stipulated that all land should be contracted by the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Agriculture would hire lifelong agricultural workers to cultivate it.
"Indeed, this is good for all aspects. There is no scissor gap between industry and agriculture, and there is no city tax." Huang Zixing suddenly raised his head and said.
In Huang Zixing's understanding, farmers in Daxia have always been at the bottom of the food chain, and then everyone is unwilling to farm.
However, this situation changed in Beihai County.
There are no farmers in Beihai County, only lifelong agricultural workers. They all signed contracts with the Department of Agriculture. They have a lifetime establishment, and naturally they also have pensions and pensions. Even if they are not much, they are there.
Therefore, when the grain prices are low and hurt farmers, it will have nothing to do with these lifelong agricultural workers. Even if there are heavy storms, constant disasters, and sharp decline in output that year, their wages will not be less than a penny. At most, they will be year-end bonuses or something like that. less.
In addition, because they are agricultural workers, they have urban household registration from the beginning, so there is no phenomenon of cities using urban household registration, real estate, and school district housing to squeeze farmers over and over again.
This time everyone has urban registered permanent residence...
No more farmers!
"The economy is also pretty good. If you take the money directly, the soldiers and their families will have the spending power." Guan Ming nodded.
Those who have money in their hands will consume. There are as many families as there are soldiers and they will slowly start to consume.
Then, other advanced light industrial products are used to recover the money issued to these families from their hands.
The production of light industrial products requires the construction of factories and professional industrial workers, which can attract refugees, healthy women, and even the elderly.
Gu Ta
The entire interior has initially formed a cycle.
This is the inner loop.
Disburse the money first, and then recycle the money through light industrial products. In this way, the people's living standards will be high, they will have enough to eat, and there will be no inflation.
In theory, it's good. In practice, problems of one kind or another may arise during implementation, but the overall development is still positive.
As far as Guan Ming knows, those economists have published countless professional papers using Beihai County.
As for what to do externally, let's conquer the powerful powers and let them try out what it's like to be annexed. Confiscate their land, absorb the population, train more soldiers, forge more weapons, artillery...
…
Once high-level consensus is reached, action begins.
Two thousand veterans, combined with a thousand new soldiers, a total of 3,000 people set off directly to the next county and began to annex the powerful.
They didn't bring artillery, muskets, or gunpowder with them. It wasn't because they couldn't make it, but it was to keep it secret.
Although there are no such gunpowder weapons, the city wall can still be breached. This is also one of the changes caused by extraordinary power.
Like Huo Tianyan, at this moment, his five internal organs, six internal organs, and all the bones in his body are all perfect. If you put him in Luoyang City, just looking at the data on paper, he would be on the same level as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Of course, physical fitness and actual combat effectiveness are not the same thing. If they really encounter each other, 80% of them will be the result of being beaten.
But bricks fly with great force, and miracles happen with great force!
Huo Tianyan couldn't defeat top generals like Guan and Zhang, could he still be defeated by second-rate generals? Can he still be defeated by local powerful men?
Like Huo Tianyan at this moment, the power of Qi and blood is filling his whole body, and he can easily have tens of thousands of kilograms of strength. Lifting a car with one hand is like playing.
A warrior like him, even if he doesn't use any skills and simply relies on his physical strength, can knock a gap into the Wubao by hitting it.
As for the county town that is more tightly defended than Wubao, we will not attack it at all now.
If you don't attack the county seat, it will be a dog-eat-dog battle between powerful and powerful people. In this case, the county guard is happy to see the outcome. They are all bad guys anyway. The more bad people die, the happier the county guard will be.
So, when the county governor received the news that Xiong Yan's retainer Huo Tianyan had brought 3,000 people to merge with the powerful men from a neighboring county, he just sneered and took no other action.
Huo Tianyan, on the other hand, took advantage of this rare early development time and sent ten new recruits to take turns going up to see the blood.
At that time, two thousand veterans formed a formation, with three hundred archers on each side guarding the formation. The new recruits took turns rushing forward to fight the enemy.
If the new recruits fail in the first battle, pay gold to withdraw the troops and let the new recruits retreat. If the opponent is still pursuing you, let the archers on the left and right sides release arrows.
If you lose the competition in the previous round, the veterans will be dispatched in the next round.
If you win the previous round, recruits will be dispatched in the next round.
Huo Tianyan made an appointment with the opponent at around two o'clock in the afternoon. On the first day, they fought from morning to afternoon. They played ten battles in total, winning six times, losing once and drawing three times.
That night, Huo Tianyan let the army recuperate. He originally planned to resume work the next day and continue to train new recruits. Who knew that the other party could not think about it and launched a night attack. The general was casually killed by Huo Tianyan, and the private army collapsed.
Soon after, Huo Tianyan led his army to Wubao in his hometown and took advantage of the situation to occupy Wubao.
At the same time, the powerful son headed towards the next county with a few confidants. Although he could stop it, Huo Tianyan did not stop him.
One day later, the follow-up staff moved in, and Huo Tianyan sent a document to the neighboring county. The wording was very arrogant, demanding that the powerful son be handed over, and he also needed to apologize and compensate for his mental losses.
Of course it was impossible for the other party to agree, and then Huo Tianyan had an excuse to send troops, follow the clues, and then repeat the cycle. Although the routine is old, it works.
…
Xiong Yan, a local tycoon in Nanyang, has been frequently annexing powerful people recently. Such trivial matters will never reach Luoyang City.
Even if it reaches Luoyang City, everyone has no time to pay attention because the third episode has already been released!
Time goes back to the night of the third day!
On the third day, there was nothing to talk about during the day. They were just showing off their acting skills to deceive each other. On the third night, more people paid attention to the sky in advance.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, continued to patrol the entire Luoyang City with his clan members. For a time, Luoyang's security improved by several levels.
Even Yuan Shu, a tough guy on the road, has begun to restrain himself. Others give the Yuan family face, but Liu Bei doesn't!
Discussing the Wen Ming Dynasty, Dong Zhuo scolded Ding Yuan, and Li Su gave him gold beads and criticized Lu Bu.
"The Han Dynasty is in danger for the last time, and there is no way to advance as the Three Dukes. If you fail to listen to the advice of loyal ministers several times, it is inevitable that you will be attacked by swords in the palace..."
"The general is dead?" When he saw this, Xun Yu felt as if there was a stone in his heart, which was very dull.
This depression was not just because He Jin died, but because Xun Yu was too intelligent and immediately thought of the root cause of He Jin's death.
According to the rules of political struggle in the late Han Dynasty, if foreign troops were simply mobilized to Beijing, the eunuchs would not be able to jump over the wall in a hurry!
To kill He Jin would be like jumping over the wall in a hurry!
And He Jin's idea was very obvious, he didn't want to kill the eunuchs!
As long as we didn't want to kill the eunuchs, we would continue to delay it, and even find excuses for mobilizing foreign troops to come to Beijing to kill the eunuchs collectively.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but a eunuch can’t?
But why was the eunuch suddenly cornered?
Who can force the eunuchs to really think that the purpose of mobilizing foreign troops into Beijing is to kill them all?
Only scholars!
It must have been that after the scholars saw He Jin's true thoughts, they took some measures against the eunuch group and forced them to fight to the death.
As for whether scholars could do such crazy things, Xun Yu felt that it was definitely possible.
There is nothing that a scholar would not dare to do!
