Are you crazy?Liangshan bandits became the backbone of the Han people

one afternoon.

Almost all the big and small gentry in Yanzhou donated grain.

Without exception, they also got back the piece of paper on their crimes.

Some are happy and some are sad.

The noble gentry who received Zong Ze's affirmation could finally sleep peacefully, not afraid of being surrounded by soldiers in the yard in the middle of the night.

The other gentry sent out cart after cart of grain in fear.

Liang Shanhou doesn't show affection at all!

Kill it!

They were already terrified by his means!

Originally, these people wanted to gather together to fight against this grain requisition.

As a result, two of the three largest gentry in the city were killed and one took refuge in Liangshanhou.

The rest of them could not resist at all.

It wasn't until late at night that Zong Ze finished processing all the food.

Behind him, the granary that was originally expected to hold [-] deniers was already full.

Even two more were built later.

Those gentry donated a total of [-] deniers of grain.

Including what Lin Yuan gave, there are a total of [-] deniers.

Based on the calculation that 1 people consume about 10 deniers of grain a day, the entire Yanzhou City has about [-] people (the previous writing was only for the people in Yanzhou City).

Calculated in this way, it is enough for the common people to eat for three months.

And this is when the people are half full every meal.

After Zong Ze figured it out, a stone fell from his heart.

Finally finished the first thing Lin Yuan asked.

He thought about what to do next, and couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

too busy!

PS: Happy New Year's Day to everyone! .

Chapter 398 Zhang Shuye goes to prison and Lin Yuan trains soldiers

the next day.Outside Yanzhou City, Liangshan soldiers gathered.

Lu Junyi and other generals, leading [-] soldiers and horses, began to clean up the entire Yanyun Sixteen States.

The purpose of going here is firstly to get news that riots began to break out in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and many people went up to the mountains to hunt down bandits. Naturally, Lin Yuan didn't want to see this.

Not long after he conquered the Sixteen States of Yanyun, this incident happened. While he was angry, he also knew that he had to start providing food in various places.

Otherwise, if the common people have no way out, more such things will definitely happen.

Give them a little hope, and no one will dare to put their head on the waistband of their trousers.

Before leaving, Lin Yuan specially asked, remember not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, as long as these bandits and people have a heart of repentance, they will be punished lightly.

However, if they have blood on their hands.

That proves that these people have lost their conscience, and Lin Yuan will never be soft on this kind of thing!

The second purpose of the army's expedition is to let the gentry of other states donate food to relieve the local people.

With the successful case of Yanzhou, it may be easier to implement later.

Besides, the intelligence department has already done a thorough investigation of the backgrounds of the big and small gentry in various places. When Lu Junyi went, just follow the established plan.

Of course, the most important thing is that they will register the identities of the people in all regions to facilitate the post-production of identity certificates.

At that time, just like Shandong Mansion, every commoner will have an identity certificate in their hands.

However, Yanyun Sixteen States is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

The Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom all stared at each other.

You can't just use a piece of paper as proof like the people in Shandong Prefecture.

Today, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have become Lin Yuan's real territory.

Lin Yuan was naturally extremely attentive.

In order to prove his identity, Lin Yuan specially transferred Zheng Tianshou from Liangshan.

This craftsman can be called the best in the world.

Coupled with Lin Yuan's guidance and comments on some minor details, ID cards the size of a palm were soon produced.

It was carved out of a sheet of iron, as thin as a leaf, and looked extremely delicate.

The names, addresses, and ages of the common people are written on it in great detail.

More importantly, according to Lin Yuan's arrangement, Zheng Tianshou added many layers of anti-counterfeiting marks.

In this way, there is no fear of imitation by interested people.

In the future, if there are secret agents who want to sneak into the territory of Yanzhou, or hide in it to confuse the people, it will no longer work.

In the future, this will be a must-have for every commoner when they go out.

People can not bring silver taels, but they cannot not bring identity certificates.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the city gates of other states. When you enter a strange village, you have to show your identity card to explain your purpose.

Otherwise, people will not believe your origin.

Zheng Tianshou came all night and worked hard all day, finally designing the identity certificate.

Holding the sample in his hand, he thought about it: "Master Hou, my subordinates have always had a question. If the identity certificates of the common people are taken away, wouldn't others be able to use them~¨?"

Lin Yuan understood what he meant.

He smiled, pointed to the identity certificate and said, "So, we add a number to the back, and people in different states and counties use different numbers, and each state and county will set up a special department to manage identity certificates at that time, called The Census Department, once the identity certificates of the people are discarded or taken away by others, they can report to the police in time.”

"The states and counties transmit information to each other in a timely manner. If the identity certificate of the people in the county is lost, it should be reported to the superior within a certain period of time, and then the government will print a new certificate. In this way, it will greatly prevent the identity certificate from being faked. use case."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he saw Zheng Tianshou half understanding.

So he explained: "Then I will keep it simple. If you are a citizen of Yanzhou, and your identity card is accidentally lost and it is used by others, what should you do at this time?"

Zheng Tianshou said without hesitation: "According to what Lord Hou said, of course it is to report to the Population Statistics Department and apply for a new identity certificate."

Lin Yuan nodded: "That's it, then at this time, Yanzhou's Population Statistics Department will report the information of your loss certificate, and will exchange information with other county and district departments. Later, he will also be found out."

Zheng Tianshou had a little understanding, he shook his head and continued: "What if someone else leaves with the fastest speed with their identity certificates, and the news between the prefectures and counties has not been communicated at this time?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the meaning of the number on the back layer is not something ordinary people can understand. At that time, the census department of each state and county will send people to check at the gate of the city and check the information based on the number."

"Once something unusual is found, it will be detained immediately."

Having said so much, Lin Yuan's mouth was dry.

So he picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea into his stomach, and the warmth gushed out of his body immediately.

"Thinking about it, the climate in Liangshang is good. Although it's cold in winter, it's not as cold as Yanzhou." Lin Yuan said with emotion.

In the past few days, the weather has been getting colder every day. Although the sun is out today, it is really chilly inside the house.

Zheng Tianshou nodded subconsciously: "Indeed, it gets colder the further you go to the north. It's also my first time to come to Yanzhou. I would have brought more sackcloth when I knew I was coming."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of an important matter.

Since he traveled to the Song Dynasty, he hadn't seen many people wearing cotton clothes.

I have never seen the people planting cotton.

Why hasn't such a warm and cold thing been promoted on a large scale?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan asked the guards to call Zong Ze over.

Not long after, Zong Zeqian ran over panting, "My lord, I'm asking people to count the population information of Yanzhou, and I'm preparing to distribute food relief in two days. I don't know why you called me here in such a hurry?"

Lin Yuan let him sit on a chair, and then asked suspiciously: "Zongze, you were an official in the imperial court before, do you know about cotton?"

Zongze frowned, thought for a moment and said, "There should be some, but it seems that they have been planted near Longyou Dufu Mansion in the west, and they are rarely planted in the interior."

Lin Yuan asked strangely: "Why didn't it spread?"

Zong Ze sighed and said respectfully: "Nowadays the people are struggling to live, and the people are starved of food. Cotton can't be eaten as food, and people's acceptance of it is extremely low. It can't be sold at a good price in the market. With this energy, people will naturally choose to grow food."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

The current emperor, Zhao Ji, is extremely bewildered, but the court is still so corrupt.

In this world where the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule together, only these two kinds of people are really rich.

If the common people can't even eat the next meal, why would they want to care about whether they can keep out the cold.

At most, stuff some hemp wadding into the clothes, as long as it doesn't freeze to death.

Will not grow cotton on their own land at all.

However, Yanyun Sixteen States is different from Liangshan!

It's so cold in here!

Not only the people in Yanzhou couldn't stand it without cotton-padded jackets for the winter, but neither could his soldiers.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said solemnly: "~Zongze, you have been here for nearly a year, do people in Yanzhou freeze to death every winter?"

After hearing the words, Zong Ze affirmed: "Frozen death is common. Under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun seemed to be prosperous, in fact the people here are not as wealthy as those in the Song Dynasty. They don't have much money to go. Buy coal and clothes, so people often freeze to death in winter."

"What the people of Yanzhou fear most is winter!"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan said in a concentrated voice, "In this case, why don't we promote cotton planting here?"

"In such cold weather, the common people cannot be frozen to death, right?"

(Good money) Zong Ze's face was moved, and his eyes showed a hint of uncertainty: "Master Hou, you said so, but in fact, not many people died of freezing, and they are accustomed to it, but if you promote cotton planting in Yanzhou, I'm afraid the people won't buy it at all."

"They are more willing to grow food, as long as they have a stutter."

"Once you order the promotion, the people may have a rebellious mentality. Some people may even slander you behind your back if they are less temperamental."

"We're doing more harm than good."

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's true, even food and clothing are a problem, and the common people will not cooperate in planting cotton at all!"

"It doesn't matter, now Yanzhou has a total population of just over 100 million, and we have plenty of land. As long as these common people feel at ease and don't have to worry all day long about foreign races coming to snatch their food at any time, they will naturally have a lot of strength to cooperate with us. "

"When the time comes, I'll have a way for them to grow cotton."

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan cheerfully gave Zong Ze the sample of the identity certificate, and said, "How is it? This is the identity certificate I told you a few days ago, and now the sample is made!"

"Take a closer look, what do you think?".

Chapter 399 This Is Simply Showing Off Your Power

inside the house.Zong Ze held the ID card in his hand and looked back and forth. After a while, his eyes lit up: "Master Hou, this thing is so delicate!"

"I think there are many clever production techniques and various patterns and patterns in it. It must be a lot of effort."

"If the people of Yanzhou have this thing, it will be a great thing for the country and the people!"

Lin Yuan smiled smugly when he heard the words, and he pointed to Zheng Dao: "This is Zheng Tianshou who made the identity certificate, and he also went to Liangshan a long time ago, and he made the card for eating for the sky."

Zong Ze turned his head and said, "Master Zheng is a master craftsman!"

Zheng Tianshou clasped his fists in response, thinking of Zong Ze's words, he asked doubtfully, "Why is Mr. Zong so optimistic about this object?"

Zong Ze was so excited that he was about to jump up, and he couldn't wait to say: "Of course, it is optimistic. Once the identity certificate is fully implemented in Yanzhou, it will not only prevent the enemy from spying, but more importantly, the people will have a greater sense of belonging to Liangshanhou. .”

"You know, your lord will soon become king!"

"Once you become king, the entire Yanzhou will be the domain of the adults. As long as the people's sense of belonging becomes stronger, even if Lord Hou says he wants to be emperor in the future, these people will support Lord Hou without hesitation."

A bit of astonishment flashed between Zheng Tianshou's brows: "Is it really so powerful?"
