Royal road

Listening to the report below, Wang Jun simply felt that the passing of time was unfavorable.Dongri lost a game, and he didn't get any benefit from Tuoba's tribe. On the contrary, the chaos caused the hearts of Daijun to be scattered, and the soldiers were lost.After several months of recuperation, he originally planned to go to war again, and went straight to Bingzhou from Yanmen and Leping.Unexpectedly, before the fighting started, Jizhou was thrown into chaos by rogue bandits.

This is the site he has coveted for a long time, how can others be presumptuous?Wang Jun was ready to send troops, it would be even better if he could wait until Ding Shao asked for help.But before the call for help arrived, the group of rogues were driven away by Yiyan, who had changed the town to Hebei.Didn't this Jie general fall into the imperial court's scheme of alienation and betray Bingzhou?Why are you still so nosy!

Now, before he could suppress his anger, that group of rogues flew to the border of Youzhou, almost breaking into Fan Yang.How can this group of thieves get their hands on his Youzhou? !

"Quickly order Duan Wuchen to lead [-] troops to wipe out the bandits!" Wang Jun said sharply.

It is too extravagant to use this force to suppress bandits.After all, after the defeat of the rogue bandits in Jizhou, there may be less than 1 people left. How can so many soldiers be used?

But Wang Jun's subordinates knew what he was thinking.Sending troops to suppress bandits is only second, the most important thing is to occupy more counties.After this battle, he was very powerful in Jizhou, and the imperial court must let him serve as the governor of Jizhou.In this way, the north of the Yellow River is under control.

"Then Yiyan, keep an eye on him. If he dares to seize Changshan, Zhongshan and other counties, we must wait for the opportunity to wipe him out!" Wang Jun added.

Although this Jie Nu left Bingzhou, wouldn't it be too bad if he and Liang Zixi broke up?I heard that he has occupied Zhao County, if he goes further north, he will occupy his own territory, how can he be tolerated?Wang Jun's long and narrow eyes showed killing intent, Jizhou is only a pedal after all, and the key is the merger of the two prefectures!

Soon, the Xianbei army of the Duan family came out to kill the rogues who dared to stroke their beards.Jizhou fell into military turmoil again. However, Yiyan, who had been suppressing bandits in the prefecture, did not move to the north, but marched south to clear up the military turmoil in Pingyuan, Leling and other places.There is Ding Inspector Ding in Qinghe, but Wang Jun's men dare not commit minor offenses.Just like this, the two groups of men and horses staggered along the Qinghe River.

The spring is warm, and in a blink of an eye, Jinyang has shed the chill. The mountains and fields are not only full of greenery, but there are also countless farmers.Having just changed from a refugee to a villager, no one is doomed to be free these days.The magistrates of all counties went to the countryside in person to supervise the extermination of locusts.The shadow of the locust plague in Xihe country last year has not yet passed, and now Lishi is almost a barren land.With such lessons learned, who dares to neglect?

However, this kind of hard work, even completely different from the previous "worshiping the locust god" to exterminate locusts, did not make the people feel bored and afraid.It's just because they know that there was no locust disaster under Liang Shijun's rule last year.The envoy is the reincarnation of the Buddha, who came to stabilize the world.If you don't believe him, who else can you trust?

This is the case outside the city, but it will be more lively in the city.The date of Buddha's birthday has been fixed, and it is chosen on the auspicious day of the eighth day of April.After the Grain Rains comes the busy farming season, and spring plowing and silkworms have to be done around April, so there are only three days for the Buddha's birthday ceremony.In addition to celebrating the Buddha's birthday, it also added some colors to bless the weather and the summer harvest, which attracted everyone's attention early on.Even those who can't make it to the city to visit the Buddha will set up a statue at home, praying for a good harvest from this season's labor.

Liang Feng didn't wait until the Buddha's birthday to visit, and sat with the two eminent monks of Huai'en Temple early on.

"I heard that there are foreign monks who cut their flesh and bones in the downtown area to win the followers. I wonder if the two mages know about this?"

Liang Feng's complexion was not very good-looking.Since Zhu Fahu came to Jinyang, it has gradually become another Buddhist sanctuary.Monks who fled due to wars from all over the country also came to vote one after another.Of course there are those who worship at the Huai'en Temple for climbing the mountain gate, but there are also some wild monks who have the idea of ​​self-reliance.

At that time, both monks and Taoists had a strong relationship with "shaman".The Taoist priests used some tricks to catch ghosts to deceive the fools of the village and raise believers in captivity.The monks like the self-mutilation gimmick of "cutting the flesh and deboning", and it is not uncommon for ghosts to be alive and kicking when they are skinned in the street.How could Liang Feng allow these magic sticks to confuse the common people?

Zhu Fahu sang a Buddha's name in a low voice: "If you don't know something, these are ascetics who use their bodies to cross the sea of ​​suffering."

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows: "If you are born into the world, you can convert to Buddhism. Severing your fingers and arms, skinning and cutting your flesh, can you deepen your mana and become an Arhat? Who do they support and what is their sacrifice? Is the Buddha a tiger or an eagle, and he needs human flesh to pay for it?" Of?!"

This is too heavy to say, and the host next to him sighed softly: "Your words are serious. It's just this kind of penance, and I prefer to travel alone. I can't control it..."

"Buddhism was introduced into the Middle Earth, and the branches and branches are complicated, which is the source of disaster." Liang Feng sighed, "I worship Buddha, after all, it is for the people of the world. If the Buddha is not merciful, where should I go? Huai'en Temple is Jinyang The land of Longfa should be traced back to the original source."

These words were earnest and meaningful, but the old monk's eyes flashed as he read the method standing behind him.This is not aimed at those wandering wild monks, it is clearly to set up the "Tao Court" in the territory of Bingzhou in Huai'en Temple.The law they promulgated is the real law.Just like this, Huai'en Temple will be immortalized forever!

The host didn't even lift his eyelids, and nodded: "What Shijun said is the most reasonable. It's just that our temple's words are weak, and it may not be able to dissuade those wandering monks."

Is this to say something?Liang Feng said indifferently: "The ban on prostitution is a national law. If anyone disturbs the hearts of the people, the government should ban it."

This is also what the courts of all dynasties have been doing.The worship of ghosts and gods has not declined since the pre-Qin period. There are quite a few small temples that do not conform to the canonical system, and it is not known which gods are enshrined.Therefore, the emperor often issued orders to prohibit these things similar to evil temples.Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty had a decree: "Except for those who are not in the sacrificial ceremony".As the head of Bingzhou, Liang Feng can naturally label those things that don't suit him as "prostitution".

This is what the old monk wanted. He clasped his hands together and recited a dharma name.

Compared with this old guy's sharpness, Zhu Fahu was a little out of order.After all, he is an eminent monk who concentrates on translating scriptures, how could he understand what these two people said?

Liang Feng didn't care about it, and said to Zhu Fahu with a pleasant face: "This Buddha's birthday should also be the beginning of the prosperity of Mahayana. Although self-crossing is good, how can it compare to the virtue of crossing people?"

Zhu Fahu is a standard Mahayana believer, and so are the scriptures he translates.But at this time the Hinayana still has the upper hand, and the Mahayana can only survive in the cracks.Hearing this, he also showed joy and put his palms together to express his gratitude.

Liang Feng smiled slightly, and said again: "There is also the matter of opening mountains to build caves. Recently, the Gaomen have also frequently made intentional moves. After the Buddha's birthday, I will advocate that each family send people to open mountains. There are also Zhuhu, and there are believers who are willing to do it for you. Statue of Buddha."

This is because Liang Feng discussed with his staff and came up with a solution.To carry forward Buddhism, it is rare to erect stupas and grottoes.Liang Feng chose the latter with a larger scale. The purpose was not to leave a world cultural heritage to future generations, but to use this method to pry labor from the major families and tribes that contributed.In troubled times, no one would easily let go of their slaves.These tens of thousands of laborers have become private property and cannot be used by the government.

Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build a grotto, once the people are handed over, it is not so easy to take them back.And the new grotto can also condense the centripetal force of Zhuhu towards Jinyang. As long as it is properly arranged, it may not be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

The face of the old monk on the opposite side also showed some joy.Does he know the twists and turns?Maybe you know it well.But this is a great feat for Huai En Temple, how can it be easily let go?

Liang Feng left Huai'en Temple only after confirming all the matters concerning the Buddha's birthday.However, as soon as he returned to the governor's mansion, Duan Qin rushed over with the yellow book: "My lord, the number of refugees in Guantian has started to decrease recently. I have checked, and it should be that various families are secretly taking in hermits!"

"Aristocratic families? Including petty gentry?" Seeing Duan Qin nodding, Liang Feng's expression immediately turned cold.This is no small matter!

Human resources are always the top priority. It is not that the gentry did not take advantage of the chaos before to take in the refugees and let them serve as slaves. However, each family has limited financial resources and may not be able to seize many.Now that Bingzhou is gradually returning to stability, and they have surplus food in their hands, how can these people let go of the fat that is sent to their mouths?

And this is not done by one or two households, it is a group action of a class.Even the petty gentry can't help but do it, how can they be banned?

"Why is that so?" If he extorted money violently, it would not be surprising for those refugees to flee.Now that the farming system has been perfected to such an extent that farm tools are provided free of charge, and there are generous loan rules for growing grain, why do these people still sell themselves as slaves?

Duan Qin sighed lightly: "After all, there are people who refuse to join the army..."

With just this sentence, Liang Feng understood.Tuntian is now connected with the Tunbing, and most of the Tuntians are going to join the army.They want to raise their swords and guns to protect their homeland.But some people can accept such conditions, while others are afraid of it.Military households are tenured for life. If they become villagers, will they have to serve as soldiers and fight for generations?

If they were willing to fight, who would leave their homes and become refugees?These illiterate people don't know what the official land is like. They only know to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and choose an easier way of survival.Becoming a hermit of the gentry, although reduced to slavery, the family is generally rich and powerful, so they may not be forcibly recruited to become a trilogy.Just farming is still tolerable, even if the rent charged by the other party is higher.There are thousands of fools like this!

what to doPunish the gentry so that they cannot accommodate hermits?Now is not the time for reform, there is no such external condition.He still has to rely on the big and small gentry to govern a state for him.Don't listen, don't ask, just let it go?I'm afraid that these greedy aristocratic families will eat up their stomachs and become even more uncontrollable!

Liang Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "In that case, let's change the farmland law. Enlistment in the army is limited to five years. As long as five years are completed, you can choose whether you want to join the army or not. If you choose to retire, the cultivated acres will belong to the individual, and the tax will be as usual. Pay."

Duan Qin was taken aback: "This... isn't this self-destructing the city wall?"

After five years of hard training and becoming qualified soldiers, let them retire?And give them farmland?Everyone has gone to farm, where do the soldiers come from? !

"How many displaced people are there in the world?" Liang Feng asked rhetorically, "After five years, when the old ones leave the army, won't there be new ones to fill them up? Besides, when these people return to the countryside, they will forget the skills they have practiced for a long time and let others Bullying?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Duan Qin's back. This is to... hide soldiers from the people?This ambition is too big!That's right, what the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment?After serving in the military, earning enough land, he returned to the countryside to live a stable life.The soldiers turned into civilians, but the blood in these people's hearts remained forever.If it is really a critical moment, and the lord ascends to the top, will they allow others to seize their land and destroy their homes?

The whole country of Qin is a soldier, that's all!

And such an approach can completely destroy the selfishness of the gentry.Why be a slave when you can be a commoner?Even without cleaning up, escaped slaves will appear in every house.These people are all hidden households and have never been registered as a noble family. Who can stop them!At that time, I am afraid that not only Bingzhou, but also the refugees from all over the world will be under the rule of the lord!

But will these common people who are good at fighting become hidden dangers?Once there is a military turmoil, they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary grass bandits!

As if sensing the hesitation and uneasiness in Duan Qin's eyes, Liang Feng sneered: "Zhao Mingde, build Taiping, promote talented people, set up school officials, three companies own companies, or start from Qiongxiang, build white houses, crack the ground and seal it off, use daily chemical products in the universe, The country is far away, but there are still thieves and thieves, and the crime of two thousand stones in the county is not the fault of carrying a bow and crossbow."

Duan Qin was familiar with the scriptures and history, and immediately remembered the source of these words.This is what King Wuqiu Shou replied to Gong Sunhong in the "Han Shu".Gongsun Hong suggested that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forbid the use of bows and crossbows by the people to prevent the people from rebelling and threatening counties.But King Shou said to him, it was never the bow and crossbow that threatened the world, but the evil government.In war, use weapons to block aggression, and when living in peace, use bows and crossbows to subdue ferocious beasts. This is the original purpose of weapons.Back then, the Qin State banned the use of swords and soldiers by the common people. Didn’t they still use the farm tools in their hands to resist tyranny?Because of King Shou's words, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not order to ban the use of crossbows among the people.And the strength of the Han crossbow is invincible even today!

The ability of the people has never been the root cause of troubled times.Whether the administration of officials is clear or not is the key.To be able to speak such words in such a chaotic world, with a broad mind, is really very human!

Duan Qin took a deep breath: "My lord, if you have this thought, why worry about not succeeding in the hegemony!"

Liang Feng himself knew it well.During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the control over weapons was quite loose, which did not affect the birth of its prosperous age.On the contrary, the Yuan Dynasty, which strictly enforced weapons control, was overthrown by a cowherd boy and wandering monk in less than a hundred years?Where there is oppression, there is resistance. This is the answer in line with the social and historical view.

Wanting to rely on the gentry is a short and thorny road after all, either being swallowed or assimilated.The people in this world are the most trustworthy people.After that, Bingzhou will have to face Xianbei Huma, and I don't know how many years of battles will be fought.How could he let this state be left with weak and weak people?

Leaning on the table, Liang Feng said: "This matter, we must make a plan and announce it as soon as possible, and spread it widely on the occasion of the Buddha's birthday. Before Wang Jun's attack, make full preparations..."

The author has something to say:

Someone asked Zhang Bin is the main palace, so what is Yiyan?Hehe, of course he is a traitor!

But if the flying generals of Dragon City are here, the king will not go to court early from then on.

Your Majesty, if things go on like this, the country will not be a country! (heart-piercing

Yiyan: >///

Liang Feng: ...
