I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

"That's right, as long as you register with the county government and become a registered householder, these old men will naturally keep their word." Old Dong replied with a smile, trying to show his generosity and benevolence.

Perhaps it was this approachable attitude that gave the people courage. Another person took the initiative to ask: "Taiwei, can you not go to the county government to register as a registered household Qimin, and you can also get seeds, cattle, and farm tools from the county government?"

If someone else had said this, Old Dong would have replied, 'You're thinking of farting'.

But looking at the timid and contradictory expression of the other party, I couldn't help but asked patiently: "Isn't it good to become a registered household Qimin?...Could it be that the taxes set by the old man are heavier than those who are dependent on those powerful and famous families?"

"The first three years are quite heavy, but if the Taiwei keeps his word, the days to come will naturally be better than being a child slave. It's just that

"Just what?" Old Dong still smiled, and encouraged him: "Speak boldly, I forgive you for your innocence. In front of so many people, this old man is shameless, so I won't back down."

The farmer suddenly had some courage.

Just as he was about to speak, Old Dong, who said he was happy, added extra words: "Unless, you are all killed.

In an instant, the farmer's face turned pale.

Old Dong, who had reacted, could only smile awkwardly and hold his respect: "Hahaha...just kidding, is this old man such a murderer?

When these words came out of Luoyang, most people probably wouldn't believe them.

Fortunately, here is Luoyang's various performances for nearly a year, and he has successfully exonerated.

"The Taiwei sincerely waits for me, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the true god who saves the suffering in the world. It's just that after the household registration of Qimin, those who had land were fine. If they were former child slaves like me, I'm afraid... rush Go to corvee."

"Corvée...Old Dong thought about it, remembered talking about it with Er Xun, and said: "Don't worry, the corresponding policies are being studied and introduced.

"I dare not say anything else, but I will never let you wait for three years and three years."

"From the age of 20, I started to serve corvee, and when I came back, I found that the fields were barren, my wife ran away, and my children wore thin linen clothes in winter, and no one cared about eating wild vegetables outside.

The people were just worried, but they didn't expect that what Old Dong said so vividly.

Immediately, their little faces all changed from red to white, with blue in the white.Feeling emotional, tears began to roll in the corners of the eyes.

Seeing this, Dian Wei couldn't help stepping on Old Dong's foot.

Only then did Old Dong come to his senses, and forced an awkward smile to win respect again: "Hahaha... the old man said, this kind of human tragedy will never happen to you.'

"For example, you don't have to think about the border guards in the corvee for the time being, and you don't even have to worry about it in the future."

Guarding the frontier, also known as garrison or garrison, is to go to the frontier to engage in the responsibility of 'guarding the frontier and taking the fortress'.The law of the Han Dynasty stipulates that men must guard the border for one year in their lives, and if there is an emergency at the border, they must continue to stay for six months.

But in the last years of the dynasty, it was generally 'or from the fifteenth to the north of Fanghe, and then to the forty to the west of Yingtian.When I went there, I was wrapping my head, and when I returned, my hair was white and still guarding the border'

That's all, it's good.

At least, people are still alive.

In view of Lao Dong's current ruling scope, there is no need to consider the frontier, and there is no need to guard the frontier for the time being.Even if he hit the frontier in the future, the plan he considered was to 'control the barbarians with the barbarians' first.

For example, to subdue the Huns in Yufulo, to divide and tame the royal family of the Huns—the system can be used to eradicate the root cause of the border troubles, and there is no need to guard the borders.

"In terms of life and death, you only need to abide by the requirements of the county government and participate in military training regularly every year during the slack season. It is no longer the same as before. Every boy must dedicate two precious years of his life."

The official military service is what is often said in the Han Dynasty as a "chariot and cavalier official soldier". It is mandatory for adult men and lasts for two years.

Cars are light chariots, cavalry are cavalry, and officers are infantry.Later, the military service of light vehicles was cancelled, mainly cavalry and infantry.

In the first year, military training is carried out in the county to acquire the necessary military skills.

Then according to actual needs, or as a soldier for a year, that is, the border guard just mentioned.Or serve as a guard for one year, that is, to serve in the Beijing garrison.

However, when there is a war, the imperial court will call for service again, and the people cannot resist.

In response to this corvee, Lao Dong proposed a three-tiered military system: an elite field army, a professional standing army, and a civilian reserve

In the future, the border guards and guards will be in charge of the professional standing army.

It is impossible for people in troubled times not to undergo military training, but he generally does not enlist in the military.Unless the enemy hits the city gate, or Lao Dong wants to fight others, he needs to defend the city and fight hard or transport food and grass.

"As for the rest of the shift, it depends on the actual situation in each place. But I can guarantee that the shift will not be free in the future, and try not to work across counties."

In addition to the two types of corvee service, which are the regular service and the frontier guard, the men also have to serve one month of unpaid labor every year, engaged in civil engineering, bridge building and road repair, river and canal management, and grain transfer.

Because the servants served in turns, it was called "geng".

Hearing this, Li Kui was the first to react: "Taiwei, so that's the calculation... In the future, Ge and others will only need to participate in drills during the slack season, defend the city or transport grain and grass during the war, and will they be paid when they are on duty?"

"Um!

Old Dong raised his head and praised: "The summary is very good.

Then, the people first looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at the sky in unison.In the end, no one was ecstatic, but sighed.

Old Dong didn't understand, how could they respond in such a way that he had worked so hard.

Especially that old Likui, who was muttering.

After listening closely, I found that the old man was questioning himself and his life: "Did the captain drink too much, or was his brain kicked by a donkey?"

"The little old man has lived for most of his life, but he has never heard of such a good thing, and he dare not even think about it in his dreams. ?”

...

Chapter 223 How Easy Is It To Destroy A Man?

"What the old man said is true!

Looking at the doubtful eyes of the common people, some of whom were baring their teeth, Old Dong suddenly felt like a monkey in a zoo.

No, monkeys in the street.

These peasant uncles are just watching the crowd, purely using themselves for entertainment.

"I'm just telling the truth. Relevant policies will be introduced soon. You have to trust me!" The more he was silently questioned, the more old Dong couldn't help explaining.

But the more you explain, the people seem to be happier.

Human nature is so complicated.

When you tell the truth, no one will believe you.

"My husband not only wants to encourage more land reclamation and cultivation, reasonably collect taxes, reduce corvee, but also introduce more welfare policies one after another.

"For example, there have been years of chaos, people have been displaced, and the elderly, weak, women and children are the most miserable."

"The county can set up homes for the elderly and orphanages, so that the elderly can have something to support and the young can rely on...Of course, the premise is that you must have registered households for all people."

"Yeah... Old man Likui nodded repeatedly, and he almost said 'ah, yes, yes', and his eyes were more obvious when he looked at monkeys." "Taiwei, what else is there?"

Old Dong wanted to get angry: These people were clearly making fun of him, they just slapped their noses!

But when he looked at them again, his eyes were clear and sincere, his expressions were respectful and expectant, and there was no trace of joking just now.

Especially that old Li Kui, who was still a little timid in his anticipation.Occasionally lowering his head, as if he didn't dare to look at himself, it just makes people feel distressed.

Could it be that the old man was dazzled just now?

"Well... there is also the need to set up a school. All the children of tax-paying households can enter the school to read and read, and have the qualifications to be recommended as officials.'

After finishing speaking, I was afraid that these words were not rigorous, and added: "Of course, in the future, the examination and examination should be included in the scope of the imperial examination, parallel to the expropriation system.

"Father Taiwei, can I still be an official in the future?" At this moment, the voice of an immature child came.

When Old Dong heard it, he felt very familiar: "I just found out that the person in the old man's carriage is you, right?"

"Um!'

"If your parents are Qimin registered households, and you are both good in character and learning, you can naturally pass the imperial examination to become an official." Old Dong replied with a smile, and then asked: "After becoming an official, what do you want to do?"

"Eat meat!"

"Shout... what else but meat?"

"Live in a big house!"

"and then?"

"Marry a wife!"

"and then?'

"Let the son eat meat too!"

"Damn you...Old Dong couldn't help laughing at that time, and said: "It's quite real!"

Children can't stand other people's compliments, and when they are praised, they are easy to fly, and if they are floating, they are easy to tell the truth: "It's not as good as Father Taiwei, who doesn't say a word of truth, hahaha

Children's laughter is very clear in the field

The next moment, he found it very abrupt: Usually at this time, don't everyone laugh together?

Why are my father, eldest father and all the uncles and neighbors looking at me with strange eyes?

Could it be that I haven't learned enough, and haven't grasped the essence of teasing people?

At this time, Old Dong was finally convinced: the people were tired from work, and they listened to him talking about policies that they dared not expect, so they just listened to jokes for entertainment.

I have to say, their acting skills are quite superb.

"I killed you!" A farmer suddenly raised the plow in his hand, aiming to hit the child: "What nonsense!"

The child was so frightened that he stood there motionless in a daze.

Old Dong understood why the farmer did this, grabbed the plow rake with his hands like lightning, and said sadly: "Why, do you think that if you kill him, the old man will spare you?"

Immediately, he became furious and shouted: "How dare you molest the old man, you muddy legs are so daring!"

"This old man is sincerely thinking about you, and what you say is what you want to do in the future. But you guys are playing this old man like a monkey, you really don't know what to do!"

"Come here, I will kill all of them, and leave no one behind!"

The furious old Dong hated it: "After killing them all, we will break into their house, and the chickens and dogs will not be let go, and then we will set a fire and burn them all!"

Dian Wei's color changed instantly.

But looking at Old Dong's angry red eyes and the awe-inspiring murderous look all over his body, he clasped his fists in response after hesitating: "Wei!"

In an instant, the personal guards surrounding Lao Dong raised their spears horizontally, and their swords slapped their shields, all threatening the people together.There are bowstrings behind him being tightened by both hands, making a creaking sound, like countless nooses that are gradually tightened.

The people who were besieged inside and outside fell into despair in an instant. Lao Likui kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy: "Taiwei, please forgive me, Taiwei, please forgive me, I will never dare again!"

"Kill!" Dian Wei roared with red eyes!

Cai Yan was like crazy, ready to rush out of the carriage.

At this moment, Old Dong, who was still furious just now, suddenly raised his hand high and shook it twice.

The chilling atmosphere immediately dissipated like hot soup and snow, the gathered guards put away their spears, the soldiers with their large shields retreated step by step, and the tensed bowstrings were also put away.

Old Li Kui, who survived the catastrophe, looked at Old Dong in confusion, and saw Old Dong leaning forward and said: "How is it, is it unexpected, is it exciting?"

"Captain?

"Why, you are only allowed to tease the old man, and I am not allowed to scare you?" Old Dong laughed loudly and said: "Okay, let's get even.

"Oh... Cai Yan, who was almost sprained in the carriage, couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, her eyes burst into flames: I really want to beat that old thing to death!

"Don't be dazed, let's all go back to work."

Seeing that the common people were still in shock, and some were still trembling with fright, Old Dong said softly: "I understand, why don't you believe me."

"If you can't even meet basic food and safety, how can you have the courage to fantasize about belonging, respect, and high-level spiritual needs for self-realization.

"Only when the warehouse is solid can one know etiquette, and only when food and clothing are sufficient can one know honor and disgrace."

"The most important thing is, don't care whether you believe it or not, it doesn't affect whether I do it or not."

"As long as taxes and corvees are actually reduced, welfare benefits are improved, and orphanages and schools for the elderly are built, then you will believe it or not.

"Too, Father Taiwei

That child was really big-hearted, he was almost hugged on the head by his father just now, but now he said again: "So I might really go to school?"

"certainly.

"But

He panicked, he really panicked: "I don't want to go! . . . sitting in the same room all day, unable to move

If you move, you will be slapped on the palm by Mr. What's the good?"

Upon hearing this, Old Dong shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "Look what you're talking about? How could the school be like that?"

"No, it's not like that?" the child asked Xiji, speaking quickly.
