Super Prestige System

Chapter 210
After dispatching Ssangyong to attack Bashu, Zhou Ding did not rush to attack the Li family, but returned to Luoyang.

Conquering the world is easy, defending the world is difficult.

During the years of war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, countless people became bandits, and many places were barren.

The most important thing at present is to try to get the people who have fallen into bandits to lay down their weapons and go home to farm obediently.

At the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, there are several peaks piercing into the clouds, as majestic as jade pillars reaching to the sky, with emerald green and white jade, which is very moving.

There is a mountain here called Heihu Mountain, and there is a Heihu Village on the mountain of Heihu. The terrain of this village is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
A few days ago, the Yanhuang Empire sent troops to block the way down the mountain from Heihu Village, but the army did not attack Heihu Village...

Officers and soldiers blocked the way down the mountain from Heihuzhai. Heihuzhai could not communicate with the mountain. Consumables such as food and salt were getting less and less. In order to fight a protracted war with the officers and soldiers, several leaders gradually reduced the supply of food. Two meals of porridge are provided.

One night in July, a patrol team had just completed a round of patrolling and got together to chat.

The captain of the patrolling team, the team leader said: "Brothers, have you heard that the dynasty has changed at the foot of the mountain, what is said to be the emperor's country!"

Bandit A said: "I heard that it is the Yanhuang Empire. The emperor of the Yanhuang Empire is a good person. He abolished the poll tax and changed it to the per capita tax, and only collected one kind of tax. All exorbitant taxes were cancelled!"

Bandit B said: "What do you mean by selling a small house into the mu?"

Bandit C interjected: "It means how much land you have and how much tax you pay. Peasants without land don't have to pay tax!"

Bandit A said: "Yes, the most important thing is that the tax is only one tenth of the tax. You can collect five hundred catties of grain and pay fifty catties of tax. Not only are there no miscellaneous taxes, but there is no work and rest. If the court has a project, it will Spend money to recruit, and will never recruit strong factions again!"

Bandit B said: "Is there really such a good thing? If so, who would go to labor?"

Bandit C twitched his lips and said: "With heavy rewards, there must be brave men, and you will get money and food for service. Why don't you go?"

Bandit B asked: "Is there really such a good court? Isn't it a lie? Even if the emperor is good, when the magistrates execute it, it will inevitably change. Don't we ordinary people suffer the same?"

The bandit captain shook his head and said, "I am ignorant! The imperial court opened a Royal Newspaper, which publishes the "Royal Newspaper" to the people of the whole country. Written in the "Royal Newspaper", I heard that every county has a special place to read newspapers for the people, and we people are no longer deaf and blind!"

Bandit B said enviously: "It's a pity that we are all poor people without land. We are destined not to enjoy such a good policy, and we can only be bandits!"

Bandit A said: "You are wrong. I heard that the imperial court will arrange other livelihoods for poor people who have no land at home."

Bandit C said: "Yes, I know about this. I heard that Er Gouzi, my neighbor at the foot of the mountain, went to work in some factory. He worked for five hours a day and was paid a lot of money and food. Working alone, he could feed himself. A family of five!"

Bandit Ding said: "Is there such a good thing? Head, let's go down the mountain. If we are captured by the army, we will only die!"

Others echoed, "Go down the mountain, go down the mountain!"

The team leader resolutely said: "I've had enough of these days. Tomorrow night, let's sneak down the mountain!"

Within the territory of the Yanhuang Empire, such scenes happened in every cottage.

After all, there are only a small number of vicious bandits. Most of the bandits are from poor people, and they have no choice but to become bandits.

The policy of the imperial court is so good, and it gave everyone a chance to choose again, so what are you doing with bandits?
One is waiting to die on the mountain, and the other is going home to live a good life. As long as you have a steelyard in your heart, you will make the right choice in the end.

The bandits went down the mountain one after another, and countless cottages collapsed without attack.

Most of the aristocratic families expressed their dissatisfaction with the Yanhuang Empire’s policy of distributing the income per mu. In the past, they paid little taxes, and some even never paid taxes. Now, the more land they have, the more taxes they pay. Therefore, the landlord class The resistance is very strong.

However, there is nothing they can do!
He wanted to win over local officials for personal gain, cheating, and falsely reporting the number of fields, but found that all local officials seemed to have become honest and upright officials, and they worked hard to implement the policies of the Yanhuang Empire.

Why are you working so hard?
With Zhou Ding's support, Zhu Yuyan is now the leader of Taoism, and all the disciples of the Demon Sect who surrendered to Zhou Ding have all joined Taoism.

After all, the devil's religion is not good to hear. In view of the fact that Taoism in this world has withered, Zhou Ding decided to re-establish Taoism.

Zhu Yuyan has established sub-teachings all over the country. Once the fish and meat villagers are found, officials who bend the law for personal gain, the sub-teachings have the right to report directly to the court.

Once the crimes of the reported officials are verified, they will be dismissed from office at least, or their homes will be ransacked at worst.

Some landlord classes wanted to link up with other families to overthrow the Yanhuang Empire, but there were very few responses.

Are you kidding me?
There are so many anti-kings in the world who have been subdued by Zhou Ding. What is the difference between us rebelling at this time and courting death?
……

Before autumn, all the cottages in Kanto were wiped out. At the end of autumn, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling completely conquered Bashu.

After autumn, people all over the country enjoyed the policy of only paying [-]% of the grain tax, and the happiness index of the people was very high.

The prestige of the Yanhuang Empire has reached friendship, and it's time to take action against the Li Yuan Clan.

The Li Clan stationed troops at Hangu Pass, the west of Hangu Pass and the north of Hanzhong were basically all Li Clan territory.

In September, Chang'an Palace, Li Yuan's bedroom.

Li Yuan was lying on the bed with a sick face, and Li Shentong, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji surrounded Li Yuan's bed.

With a sad face, Li Yuan said slowly: "According to reliable information, the Yanhuang Empire is about to use troops against us, the Tang Dynasty. What countermeasures do you have?" Go grain' means.

This trick is too ruthless, if you can't deal with it, you can only wait for death.

Li Shimin stepped forward and said: "Report to Father King, I have already found out that the person who stole the food was Zhou Ding himself. Except for Zhou Ding, no one else in Yanhuang Kingdom has such ability!"

Li Jiancheng snorted softly and retorted: "What's the use of knowing who is stealing food? What my father wants is a way to deal with it!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, brother, brother Yu has a way to deal with it!"

"What way?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he sat up directly from the bed.

Li Shimin took out something like an oil lamp, and said to everyone: "This magic weapon was quietly handed over to my ministers by people in the Buddhist sect. The Buddhist sect once fought against Zhou Ding. Although they suffered a big loss, they also figured it out. Zhou Ding's direct lineage, Zhou Ding's biggest reliance is Taoism.

If Zhou Ding didn't have Taoism, he would be a martial arts master at best, no matter how good his martial arts are, we can use people to kill him..."
