Chapter 098 [Beggar Soldiers]

Fei Chun was sitting on the fishing boat waiting, with a half-dried cloth bag at his feet.

Fei Ruhe stepped on the stone steps, scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, staring at the wooden sign of "Wuxing Town" for a long time.

Wrong place again?

Fei Ruhe took the boat all the way and had already gone to several wrong villages and towns.

"Old watch," Fei Ruhe stopped a farmer who was carrying the blame, "Is Huangjia Town still further upstream?"

The farmer just came to the town to repair the pot and said with a smile, "This is Huangjia Town, Master Zhao has changed his name."

Fei Ruhe suddenly became excited: "Master Zhao is Zhao Yan, Zhao Ziyue?"

The peasant said confusedly: "Master Zhao is Master Zhao."

"Thank you for the pointer," Fei Ruhe said with his fists folded, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Come up, we're there!"

Fei Chun carried the blood-stained sack, tied the small fishing boat to the shore, and walked quickly to Fei Ruhe's side.

The master and servant went to the inn. Business was not very good. It was almost noon, and there were only a few people in the lobby to eat.

There is also a notice posted at the entrance of the inn: This town is looking for a lot of money to buy corn (corn) and sweet potato (sweet potato).

Fei Ruhe couldn't help sighing and said, "I'm afraid Brother Han is not doing well, and he's almost out of food."

Fei Chun said, "The innkeeper should be from Brother Han."

The original innkeeper, who was a close associate of Huang Zundao, was sentenced to go to the mountains to burn charcoal, which was considered a form of reform through labor.

Huang Daliang is not very literate, so he can only write his own name, but he can't write the names of dishes.After he was promoted to be the shopkeeper, he had to find time every day to go to the private school to listen, and returned to the inn to work and practice calligraphy.

Master Zhao said, within a year, if you can't learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and you don't learn more than [-] words, you will be replaced by someone else next year!

"Both of you are objective, do you want to go to the top or stay in the store?" The store clerk came to ask.

This shop assistant is Xiao Cui's younger brother. He used to be the Huang family's firewood, but now he is thrown into the inn to work as a assistant.

Fei Ruhe said, "I am the clan brother of Master Zhao, and my name is Zhao Yaonian."

This product is even better than "Yao Nian", only because he worships his uncle, the last famous official of the Fei family, Fei Yaonian, who is both civil and military.

The shop assistant was overjoyed and said to Huang Daliang, "The shopkeeper, Master Zhao's brother is here!"

Huang Daliang almost teleported out of the counter, arranged the affairs of the inn in a few sentences, and took them to the town hall.

The Huang Family Ancestral Hall was changed to a private school in Wuxing Town.

The Huang family's ancestral residence was changed to Wuxing Town Office.The front yard is an office space, Zhao Han lives in the back yard, Pang Chunlai, Chen Maosheng, Zhang Tie Niu and their wife and children also live in the back yard.

Some maids and wives, including those married to "officers", can stay to work and sign short contracts to receive monthly wages.

We talked while walking and talked about some changes in Wuxing Town.

Fei Ruhe couldn't help but ask, "What is the mayor?"

Huang Daliang explained: "The lijia chief is gone. Now there is only the mayor. Below the mayor are four village chiefs."

Fei Ruhe looked at Fei Chun, the master and servant were both shocked.

This is no ordinary rebellion, Zhao Han dares to directly reform!

Seeing that they were startled, Huang Daliang immediately smiled and said, "What is this? Master Zhao also made a woman an official."

"Women are officials?" Fei Ruhe didn't understand.

Huang Daliang explained: "In the past, Xiaohong, the maid of Mrs. Huang's family, has now changed her name to Huang Fei, which Mr. Zhao gave himself. She is now the head of the Women and Children's Department in Wuxing Town, and she is in charge of women and children. Mr. Zhao As I said, you are not allowed to beat women and children casually, and whoever disobeys will be punished to sweep the town streets."

Fei Chun wondered: "Women are officials, men are willing?"

Huang Daliang smiled and said, "What else can I do if I'm not happy? Besides, women are officials, and they only care about women and children. Men can't be in charge."

Suddenly, Huang Daliang said in a low voice: "Master Zhao also said that he is not allowed to drown babies. If he is found out, he will increase the rent and pay, and this matter will be handled by Section Chief Huang (Xiaohong)."

Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "It really shouldn't be drowned."

Huang Daliang sighed and said, "If you can feed your children, who would do that kind of thing? Actually, Mr. Zhao doesn't have to set rules, everyone has divided the land now, and the rent has also been reduced for the tenant fields. After a good day, no one is in trouble. Come."

"All divided?" Fei Ruhe asked.

Huang Daliang said: "There are still more than 20 households that have not been divided."

Those who have not been allocated land are all self-cultivators and small landlords, who are now isolated by the villagers.

Wuxing Town Office.

Zhao Han said to several officials: "Come from one household to another, let them release the slaves. If the slave is willing to go home, the master is not allowed to stop it. If you want to continue working, change it to a short contract, how much per month? Wages are clearly written. From now on, the word 'slave' is not allowed, and you can call them servants, servants, or helpers. Also, you are not allowed to beat servants. Anyone who dares to beat servants will be sent to the mountains to burn charcoal!"

When Chen Maosheng got the order, he immediately set off with Xiaohong, and the village chief of the village had to give his full assistance to whichever village he went to.

The homesteaders could not afford to support slaves, and the targets of this attack were the few remaining small landlords.

If there are many servants at home, keep seven or eight.

There are only one or two servants in the family.

Can't make any waves!

Moreover, Zhao Han is not forcibly removing the servants. First, it can prevent the slaves from losing their jobs, and secondly, it can also reduce the resistance.

In just two days, all the remaining domestic slaves in Wuxing Town were released by Chen Maosheng, and a few were willing to continue to be servants.

Don't talk about the slave's deed. In order to hide the population, almost all the people are white deeds. They don't report to the government at all. They tear up the deed and immediately become a free man.

The next step is to force the small landlords to separate their families. A family with more than ten people must separate their families (children under 12 years old are not counted)!

Also, small landlords and self-cultivation farmers did not provide young and strong people with training regiments.Therefore, they cannot get preferential treatment, and they will pay heavy taxes and taxes until they provide young men to join the army.

……

Fei Ruhe was walking on a country road and found that the seedlings had been planted, and men and women were organized to dig canals.

And full of energy, there is a burst of laughter from time to time.

Huang Daliang took the initiative to explain: "In the past, there were only two canals, one to draw water from the river with a water truck, and the other to draw water from the creek on the mountain. Now that the farming is slack, Mr. Zhao has organized villagers to build and dig canals, and the canals dug out can be used by everyone. Mr. Zhao's words are counted, he said that the canal is public property, so it must be public property."

"Farmers believe it?" Fei Ruhe asked in confusion.

"Of course I believe it. Which of the words Mr. Zhao said was not fulfilled? The interest and rent owed by the villagers, he found out and burned them two days ago. Mr. Zhao is really good to us," Huang Daliang said with a smile, " On the first day of excavation, Master Zhao rolled up his sleeves and personally led people to dig the canal. Have you ever seen such a master? You don’t need the government to urge you to work.

Fei Ruhe couldn't help scratching his head, always feeling that this place was weird, but he couldn't tell how weird it was.

As a domestic slave, Fei Chun can understand more.

He can bring in the identity of a villager. If there is such a person, he will preside over the division of land and reduce rents, and he also promises to dig canals for everyone to use. He will also bring dry food to dig canals.

As he got closer, Fei Ruhe suddenly woke up and finally found something strange.

However, in the case of Qianshan County, the construction of such basic projects is either organized by the government or presided over by the great clan.The common people who work are all grimacing, and they will be lazy and deserted when they have the chance.

On the construction site in front of you, you can see countless smiling faces, sweating like rain, but getting more and more energetic.

No need to shout slogans, no need to promote any ideas.

As long as the peasants are given a little hope, they will burst into labor enthusiasm.

If farmers are given [-] hope, they can change the world!

Zhao Han took the lead in killing the landlords, dividing the land, lowering taxes, reducing rents, distributing grain, releasing slaves, burning the owed land rent and usury.A set of procedures has given farmers great hope.

Fei Chun observed secretly all the way. He felt that Zhao Han could make things happen, but he did not dare to say it in front of Fei Ruhe.

"kill!"

"Ah!"

As they got closer and closer to the Wuxing Town Office, the master and servant heard a scream of killing.

Fei Ruhe finally got excited: "Come and see, Brother Han is training!"

After running wildly for a while, Fei Ruhe came to the gate of the office and shouted loudly, "Zhao Ziyue, I'm here, I'll accompany you to do important things!"

After a while, Zhao Han stood at the door and was a little surprised to see Fei Ruhe, then said with a smile, "You're here to be a general? But I only have five hundred soldiers in my hands."

"Not to mention five hundred soldiers, fifty soldiers will do!" Fei Ruhe was excited.

"Brother." Fei Chun followed and called softly.

Zhao Han nodded and smiled, "You're here too? Very good."

After the Huang family's ancestral house was converted into the town hall, a section of the courtyard wall was also torn down, the garden was cleared to the ground, and it was connected to the outside of the courtyard as a training ground.

Fei Ruhe soon saw the team, and was a little disappointed: "No serious weapons?"

"Poor, make do with it." Zhao Han was also helpless.

In order to quickly train the army and deal with the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, Zhao Han did not do any military training for college students.

Get started with the simple version of the Mandarin Duck Array!

Cut the bamboo as a wolf, and keep the front branches to protect the friendly troops from advancing.This is the wolf soldier.

They also use wooden pot lids as shields and hold sickles or kitchen knives to cover and resist the enemy.This is the rattan player.

Cutting the hard-headed yellow bamboo as the spear body and binding scissors as the spear tip is the core strength to kill the enemy.This is the spearman.

Moso bamboo, yellow bamboo, pot cover, sickle, kitchen knife, scissors... This is the equipment of the peasant army in Wuxing Town, which looks like a group of beggar soldiers at first glance.

Fei Ruhe wanted to be a general. In his imagination, the soldiers under his command should have sharp swords, well-equipped armor, and a mighty army.

Dreams and reality seem to be far from each other.

Seeing Zhao Han coming, Zhang Tieniu immediately greeted him and said in a low voice, "Young Master..."

"Captain Zhang, please call your military rank!" Zhao Han interrupted immediately.

"Chief!"

Zhang Tieniu hurriedly stood up straight, shouted loudly, and then whispered bitterly: "Chief, I'd better be your personal guard, it's boring to be in a mess."

Zhao Han now has two positions, one is the mayor of Wuxing Town, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the regimental battalion.

If the team leader below wears three bars, then the commander-in-chief Zhao Han can wear five bars.

Facing Zhang Tieniu's complaints, Zhao Han reprimanded: "Other captains can practice, but you can't?"

Zhang Tieniu said with a pained expression: "This army has to advance and retreat together, and what orders do I have to listen to. My mind is dizzy. What are you doing with that? Fighting and rushing forward will end."

Zhao Han is about to give up Zhang Tieniu. This guy has been practicing for several days, and his performance is not as good as that of an ordinary tenant.

It is not a person who fights in a proper way. The correct use is to let Zhang Tieniu lead the death squad and execute special tactics such as night raids and guerrillas.Or, with one vote, go to the first troop and run to the wall to attack the city desperately.

"Ugh!"

Zhao Han sighed, "Okay, you will be my escort from now on, and the first brigade will be handed over to Fei..." He stopped here, and Zhao Han asked Fei Ruhe, "What's your name now?"

Fei Ruhe smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Yaonian."

"The first brigade will be handed over to Zhao Yaonian to practice!" Zhao Han immediately made adjustments.

Fei Ruhe suddenly remembered something, asked for a cloth bag from Fei Chun, opened the mouth of the bag and said, "This is my certificate of entry. I killed a eunuch in Jinggang Town."

"Why do I want this thing?" Zhao Han instantly had a headache, Zhang Tieniu's brain was abnormal, and Fei Ruhe didn't seem to be much better.

Fei Ruhe was proud and began to tell the story: "I used a clever trick this time to earn the head of a eunuch without breaking a sweat. At that time, I went to Jinggang Town to find my fourth uncle..."

This guy talked happily, adding fuel to the details to show his wit and bravery.

Then, Fei Ruhe looked at Zhao Han with a "please praise me for being smart".

Zhao Han sighed in his heart and patted Fei Ruhe's shoulder: "You are so smart, you know how to use tricks."

"Haha, it's a trivial matter, it's just a matter of time." Fei Ruhe said proudly.

Zhao Han suddenly asked, "Then why don't you just plan on it, stay with the eunuch as a confidant, and take the opportunity to develop your own men. Wouldn't it be better to wait for the eunuch to snatch the money and then kill, with a lot of money and men, and come to join me?"

"Uh……"

Fei Ruhe was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head: "Yes, missed the opportunity!"

Chapter 099 [Do Big Things]

Fei Chun came to Wuxing Town and relieved the talent gap for Zhao Han.

Although Chen Maosheng can read and write, but it is really difficult to count money and food, and he is busy with affairs and has no time to learn arithmetic.
