sweeping the world

Chapter 544 Restless
Land, land suitable for farming, land closer to one's main development area, that is not a feeling, but a real need, which makes countless people covet it.

The land policy of the Han Dynasty has not changed since the first year of Yuanshuo. Only those who join the army and receive rewards for military merits can obtain it.The land rewards obtained by general military exploits have never been fixed in the area, and the more land the people own, the more scattered the land they own.Under the premise that private transactions of land are not allowed, it is impossible to pile up the land owned by the name. As a result, many people who own land ownership can only develop remotely, and cannot go to the actual land they hold. operate.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has thrown out a new policy, giving birth to a child can get land rewards. Although it has not yet been passed, countless people have already begun to move. They hope to participate in the addition of the provisions and use the emergence of this new policy to target the previous land policy.

Land rewards for giving birth to children are of the greatest benefit to ordinary people. They do not have access to private access to land, but they can obtain land as long as they work hard to have children. It is absolutely false not to be surprised.

Those who already own private land depend on how much land they have in their name. The more land they have, the more they want to consolidate the land into one piece. It would be better if they can place it where they want.

Li Tan, who was on the front line, received an official document from the center. He thought it was a routine announcement, that is, to let people who are not at the center know what happened.After reading the official document, he stood up abruptly, his face full of shock and unconcealable joy.

In the official document from the center, there is a question about how to distinguish land rewards for military merits from land rewards from other channels.

No matter who it was before, they could only passively arrange where the rewarded land was. And that passiveness was not an assignment, it was simply a random confirmation. Li Tan had more than 3000 acres of land in his name, but the land was scattered among All over the country.

Of course, scattered land is not easy to manage. As a result, most people can only choose to appoint local governments to manage it. There is a big gap in income, or even no income at all.

The government's simple and crude way of managing land is to lease it to the people for farming. In this way, the government no longer collects the taxes that the nobles should pay. The amount is determined when leasing it to the people. For example, it is usually [-]% or [-]% of the labor results. open.

[What does it mean to distinguish land? 】Li Tan just doesn't need to think about the war recently, and he concentrates on thinking: "According to urine, the policy of rewarding land for giving birth to children must be to induce people to move to places with vast land and sparsely populated areas, land where military merits are rewarded ...]

There have been many large-scale rewards before, and there are quite a few observable examples of land acquisition through military exploits. The more sensational one was the last large-scale disarmament. The arrangement of the land is to settle down on the spot, but it makes the originally large area unoccupied area become populated.

[The land obtained through hard work must not be the same as other channels. Otherwise, what is the value of working hard? 】Li Tan thought about it but became excited: 【I will ask seriously, I am afraid it will be of great benefit to the military this time! 】

After Fu Hong withdrew to the north on the front belonging to the Zhengbei Shogunate, only the eastern part of Bingzhou was still fighting fiercely.

The battlefields in the eastern part of Bingzhou are Jinyang, Yuci, and the two mountains and one valley area. There are four warrior armies under the Northern Shogunate sequence, two imperial guards and a considerable number of county soldiers, with a total strength of more than 24 .

The so-called "two mountains and one valley" is a collective term, they are Mengshan, Longshan and Langu, located in the west of Jinyang.

The current Shijie Zhao army in Jinyang is Li Tu, with Wang Lang, Wang Hua, and Yinong as his deputy. They command 28 Shijie Zhao troops to defend Jinyang and its surrounding areas, claiming 50.

The Zhengbei shogunate has been analyzing the composition of the troops under Li Tu's command, and initially guessed that there should be 15 to [-] Jie soldiers, [-] Qiang and Di soldiers, and the rest were Zahu and slave soldiers.

The number of soldiers and horses under Li Tu's hands has been increasing. This is because the Zhao army in Shijie keeps recruiting strong men, from the surrounding areas of Jinyang, and even the Xinxing County in the rear.

There should be about 15 troops stationed in Jinyang by the Zhao army in Shijie. Jinyang has been completely surrounded by the Han army, but the fighting here is not fierce. It was just like the war in Yangyi that the Han army used long-range attack equipment. Constant bombardment, but the level of fighting between "Two Mountains and One Valley" and Yuci was much higher.

Li Tan was still thinking about how the center would arrange land rewards for meritorious soldiers, and the soldiers outside the account reported that some generals asked to see him.

When the curtain was opened, Qian Jiantong was the first to walk into the big tent. Behind him was a group of generals who had no official duties. Everyone's faces were excited and confused.

"The general has also received the official document from the center?" Qian Jiantong is not a person who can hide his thoughts, and he said anxiously: "The prime minister's mansion wants to benefit the people. If you have children, you can get land. The country's internal affairs Big things are too complicated, I don’t bother to think about them. Those of us who are desperate to fight the enemy with our lives can be rewarded, so it should be a little different, for example, we can choose where to choose the rewarded land.”

Li Tan looked at those who did not speak, and from the expressions on their faces, he could tell that they all meant the same thing.

When you get the same thing, how much you pay to get it, and whether you have a psychological balance are really critical. The center must have thought about this matter thoroughly before coming up with a distinction between rewards through military merit channels and non-military merit channels.

What Li Tan was thinking about just now was what impact the Prime Minister's Mansion's childbirth policy would have on the country, but he knew that most of his colleagues would not delve into it at all, and cared more about how to plan for themselves in this national policy change. some benefits.

Those who are commanding troops abroad, they still don't know what the opinion of the Taiwei Department is, but they can probably guess that there is at least communication and compromise by asking the generals and schools on each front from the center with great fanfare.

With Qian Jiantong taking the lead in opening up the chatterbox, the rest of the generals and school began to express their opinions in a hurry. The sayings may be different, but the central meaning is what Qian Jiantong said.

"It's not that simple." Li Tan said with a smile: "Joining the army is a basic five-acre land, and the first-level has been raised to ten acres, and similar awards have been increased."

They still don't know how many acres the fertility reward mentioned by the Prime Minister's Mansion is, of course it will not be more than the military's share, but no one thought that since there has been an example of an increase in the land rewarded for military merit, it would not be so uncommon to do it again .

"Expanding overseas is the national policy of this dynasty. Your Majesty will not dampen the soldiers' enthusiasm for war." Seeing that most people had not turned around, Li Tan reminded: "It is estimated that the choice of where to place the land reward will be difficult. , but the share..."

If the military wants to obtain land rewards, the most basic thing is to capture the enemy's head. After the warrior has captured the enemy's head, he will become the most basic noble. After becoming a public official, he wants to get a title promotion, no matter how long it takes or how many wars he participates in. , won several battles, and the scale of the battles, those are clearly written in the twentieth-class noble.

The twentieth rank is the class foundation of the Han Dynasty. People with different titles not only have different social treatment, but are actually linked to how much property they have under their names.For example, the highest one, Chehou, has a salary of one thousand shi a month, and there is a "red envelope" at the end of the year. At the same time, the size of the mansion, the size of the carriage, the size of the clothes, the number of servants, the amount of land, etc. can be said to be the highest salary.

Qian Jiantong thought that Li Tan had some insider information, and said directly: "It's a pity that the land cannot be selected. It would be a compensation if the basic reward amount can be increased."

Most of the rewards in the Han Dynasty have nothing to criticize. To say that the most annoying thing for nobles and officials is that the land cannot be chosen independently. Randomly going to a prosperous area must burn incense, and being randomly assigned to a bird does not shit The place should cry like ghosts and howl like wolves.

After decades of continuous destruction by the Hu people, the once extremely prosperous Central Plains has long been desolate, and only a few places have retained their vitality.Against this background, one can imagine what the random rewards of land would look like. It can be said that except for an absolute few lucky ones, most people are simply not satisfied with the area where the land is located.

"Actually, the big man is already concentrating on internal affairs, and it's only a matter of time before the various places become prosperous again." Li Tan didn't think this was purely consoling, he saw everyone's disapproving expressions, and added a knife: "Furthermore, Isn't it based on the situation of each place, the original rewards are compensated? If those areas recover their vitality, it is equivalent to earning more."

The situation is like this, for the same military exploits, the amount of rewards you should get is just a basic value, and there will be certain compensations in different regions. That place will be turned into twenty acres or something.Generally speaking, the worse the area is considered by the government, the more compensation will be given. This is to reduce complaints and to operate development to a certain extent. After all, getting land is not always possible to put long grass.

"For us, what we should care about is the share of the rewards we get. On the contrary, it doesn't matter where it is." Li Tan said with a bit of standing and talking: "Like a certain, except for a very small amount of land that is developed by ourselves, the rest is not. Entrusting the governments of various places is entrusting to the Shaofu, paying the same tax, as much as you should get, and you don’t have to worry about it at all.”

Qian Jiantong immediately rolled his eyes.

Because the country was founded not long ago, all of them are brand-new nobles, and some of them can't keep up with the trend in thinking. There are only a few people as handsome as Li Tan. Most of them are run by the family. They wait until there is really not enough. Manpower will consider entrusting the government, as for entrusting to the Shaofu, even if they want to, they are not qualified enough.

"If you say this, it seems that there is such a thing..." Si Hongzhuang thought hard for a while, and then said: "Li Lang will get a fief in Yuzhou, and the family is completely unable to develop it and hand it over to the entrusting government. A store of dark stone and earth..."

It’s about Li Kuang. His trial crops in the fief suffered heavy losses. Handing it over to the local government was a burden, but later it was discovered that there were amazing underground reserves of coal mines and other associated mines. Even if the benefits were distributed to the officials according to relevant policies, But in terms of income, it is definitely a few blocks away from simply farming crops.

Yuzhou... The administrative scope covers Shanxi in later generations, and countless local tyrants were born in that place.Coal has been applied in many aspects nowadays, among which the smelting of metals is one of the most occupied.

With the example of Li Kuang, almost everyone with a fief is basically crazy, but those with exploration skills are basically official establishments, and they have to line up to apply for prospecting personnel to their fief.It is not a single thing to be discovered later, and it is a shocking surprise to some people.

Although there are some examples of discoveries of precious resources, because there are too few examples and they are not mainstream, most people who hope to acquire land only focus on agricultural use.

"This time we will at least take down the entire Bingzhou. In the future, we will go to Shuozhou. I really hope to get the fief of the grassland." Seeing everyone's surprise, Li Tan smiled mysteriously and did not explain. Definitely Xiang, whether Shi Hu has abandoned the city and fled, there should be news in the next few days."

Ran Min's current identity is a bit complicated. He belongs to the Zhengdong shogunate but is independent from the shogunate. The army he leads is under the jurisdiction of the Zhengbei shogunate, and he has not established his own hussars shogunate.He was ordered to make a gesture of marching towards Dingxiang, and now he has approached the middle reaches of the Hutuo River, less than two hundred miles away from Dingxiang.

The intensity of the Zhengbei shogunate's attack on Jinyang depends on what Shi Hu will do next. In his original intention, Li Tan was not willing to pay a high price at all, but he did not care so much when necessary.

Qian Jiantong had just returned to the shogunate from the northwest of Bingzhou. He did not catch Shi Xuan's headquarters, and the shogunate did not allow him to pursue Fu Hong. He couldn't take any time and suggested: "No matter what Shi Hu chooses, it is best to be prepared."

Li Tan understood what Qian Jiantong meant, and had similar considerations at first, so he said: "The Second Cavalry Army rests for another seven days, and can be under your command to bypass Jinyang and force Quyang?"

Qian Jiantong was overjoyed immediately, this answer was what he wanted.

The subordinate sequence of the Zhengbei Shogunate is not small, but according to the military system of the Han Dynasty, they all have their own division of labor. For example, the county soldiers are just handymen, and they will always be handymen unless they have to.

The topic was originally pulled off, but after the business was finished, it was turned back. It was necessary to mention the fact that various families went to the Southwest Peninsula to develop. They, the generals of the Han Dynasty, are basically new nobles, and almost every family has Participate in the invasion of the Southwest Peninsula.

While talking happily, a new mansion report arrived, but the content inside was so shocking that some of them were dumbfounded...
