Governor please stay

……

On a certain wall of the government office lobby in Changshe City, there is an extremely huge map with many circles drawn and marked on it.

Gao Huan looked at the generals with a solemn expression, and asked in a deep voice: "This southern expedition is of great significance, but the lieutenant soldiers don't understand the painstaking efforts of this king. It is better to hit the sun than to choose the day. Let's talk about it today, so as not to The soldiers in the army are suspicious, so you don’t think that I, Gao, are stingy.”

He looked around at the generals, no one dared to look at him, they all sat up straight and listened to the instruction.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Gao Huan coughed lightly, pointed at the map on the wall with a branch and said, "One-tenth of the territory captured this time will be rewarded to the three armies! But if you only care about Don't blame me for being ruthless in military law if you want to grab money and ignore important matters!"

Gao Huan ruthlessly threw the branch in his hand to the ground and said.

"Follow the orders of the high king!"

All the generals present said in unison, exchanging glances with each other.

"This king has ordered people to engrave the locations of these lands on wooden sticks. Whoever draws a lot later will be responsible for distributing the land in that place to the soldiers under his command. How to allocate it is up to the king." ask!

The land is divided. If you don't fight the enemy bravely, the land division will be invalid. What will the soldiers under your command do? You can handle it yourself. "

Gao Huan said coldly.

This wave of big cakes is very cleverly drawn, enclosing the land on the map, and the generals will divide it themselves.

If the general himself gets more, then the soldiers under his command get less, and they will not work hard in the battle, and they will fish when they can.Because Gao Huan will inform the whole army of this news.

If the generals don't want an inch of land, and allot it, of course the soldiers under their command can die.But in that case, if he leads the army and wins the battle, he will get nothing, so what's the point?

How to balance the two will test the level of the generals.These people are busy with their duties, so naturally they don't have the time to think about things they shouldn't think about.

For example, unite for mutiny!

And what Gao Huan paid was nothing more than a promise of land that he hadn't got yet!

If you win, you will have everything, so naturally it is not a problem to "reward the three armies";

This is the so-called "shared benefits, shared risks"!

The generals in the hall of the government office came forward one by one to draw lots. The people who were drawn near the Changsha seemed to have received an amnesty, and the closer to the south, the more they felt like mourners, almost like dead parents.

Because that meant that they had to fight a big victory, so that Liang Guo would no longer dare to make the Northern Expedition, so Gao Huan's "dividing land" plan would be truly effective.

If not, there is a risk of being killed at any time, even if the land is given to them, can they really control it?

Everyone present had finished drawing lots, with different expressions on their faces.But in any case, I can't see the relaxed and freehand brushwork when I first came here.It has to be said that Gao Huan's painting of big cakes has brought the skills of the old coins to the extreme.

People at the top are not interested in the land, but the soldiers below may not think so.Gao Huan throws out a bait, and there will always be someone who cares.In any case, it's much better than doing nothing to waste time before.

This is only the most superficial layer.

On a deeper level, Gao Huan intentionally put this army in the farmland in Henan, and allocated the land in advance, which is actually preparing for the farmland.At that time, these "vested interests", whether they are generals at the top or soldiers at the bottom, will definitely support the military camps in various parts of Henan to protect the land they occupy.

The most important thing is that most of the original residents of this land were relocated to other places by Liu Yishou, which can be regarded as "land without owner".After the distribution, there will not be many disputes.And I bought the morale of the army without spending a penny, why not do it?

"Thank you King Gao for the reward!"

After all the lots were drawn, all the generals present bowed their hands to Gao Huan and saluted Gao Huan. Different people had different moods, and these were not enough for outsiders to understand.

For Gao Huan's method of "playing with pre-sales", some people admire, some despise, some hesitate, and some are eager to try it out.

After everyone left, Gao Huan let out a long sigh.

It's really not easy to be the boss. Those Qiuba under his command have different demands, and it's really not something ordinary people can do if they want to settle them down and not make trouble.

For example, Er Zhurong, who thrives on the battlefield and is almost omnipotent, has done extremely poorly in this regard.

If possible, Gao Huan really didn't want to divide the land in advance, just like "opening up wasteland" in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty.At that time, no matter whether it was the Tuoba clan or the nobles, whoever occupied the territory owned it. The imperial court did not pay you wages, and all the income came from the territory you occupied.

This kind of measure made the Northern Wei Dynasty succeed repeatedly in the process of expanding its territory. Although it caused great problems and had a bad impact, it is undeniable that the effect was very good.

As for the more than [-] peasant uprisings in various parts of the Northern Wei Dynasty in a year, those were all sprinkled with water, and they passed after a while.

Of course, Gao Huan knew that such things as dividing the land in advance would cause the generals under his command to end up in trouble, and even directly become the emperor of the land!But he really can't care less now!

If morale is not boosted, the risk of this battle is quite high.

Gao Huan also wanted to send 10 troops to Henan, but this time the troops were sent out unexpectedly and reluctantly, and he could not get the widest support.Even if you want to gather [-] people, it is difficult to get the response of all the people under your command.

Even if they managed to gather 10 people, those elite soldiers who returned victorious from their attack on the grasslands had already obtained everything they wanted. Now it was time to miss their families and cultivate their health, and going south to Henan was not attractive to them!

Half of the 10 people don't want to move, and have no other ability except to hold back, so it's better to just bring these parts that are eager to go south to make a fortune.

……

"Let me go on, this battle is not based on defending the city and attacking the city, or how much land is occupied. It is mainly about capturing the enemy army and beheading the enemy army. Anyone who has captured will be recorded one by one. After the war, in Lianghuai or The distribution of fertile land around Jiankang, regardless of whether they died in battle or not, the credit counts and can be converted into acres of land and distributed to their families.

This time, this king doesn't care about his status, relatives, or rank, and the number of captives and captures is the criterion, and he keeps his word.

Of course, for those above generals, I have another account on my side, and the rewards and punishments will be announced after the war. "

In the government office study in Xuanhu City, Liu Yishou said to Jin, Dugu Xin, Zhao Gui and others with a solemn face.

Chapter 604 The never-ending road in the world belongs to Liu Dudu

Time has entered the severe winter season in a blink of an eye. After the heavy snowfall, Jiankang City is covered in silver.

Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, many people are still busy, not relaxing at all, and even busier than ever.

For example, Yang Min, the "Fatty Yang" that Liu Yishou called, is currently settling accounts in the study of the mansion, with a look of scratching his head.

"The country is so beautiful, it attracts countless heroes, why is Zunyan (Yang Min's name) still in the study, come with me to find a woman from a good family to accompany me, wouldn't it be beautiful to watch the snow and cook wine?"

The study door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind came in. Yang Min shrank his neck, put the pen in his hand aside, and sighed.

The person who came was Chen Yuankang. He did not go out with the army this time, but was sitting in Jiankang, dispatching the rear, and taking charge of the overall situation.Everything other than commanding and fighting is under his control.

Then Chen Yuankang left all the matters related to "money and food" to Yang Min, so now that Fatty Yang is busy, he is free after finishing his work.

"Your illegitimate son, how do you deal with it? I heard that Mrs. Wang has gone to the Wu Palace to sue you, but I don't know about it for the time being when the lord is away."

Yang Min didn't answer, but asked a question that Chen Yuankang couldn't answer.

"Let her go, my lord knows who I am, and won't embarrass me.

Besides, I have already married a wife and had children in Luoyang, so why did the Wang family who was born in the former Xiao clan princess insist on hooking up with me? If she still wants me to marry her, does she deserve it? "

Chen Yuankang said disdainfully, thinking of that Mrs. Wang, who was like brown sugar, was upset.There is also Li Shi, the original partner in his hometown of Luoyang, which is also very annoying.

For the bohemian Chen Yuankang, women are just tools, and there is no need to talk about feelings at all.

A beautiful young woman is fine for playing around. The wretched wife in the family is passed on from generation to generation. If you want to marry a powerful man, then the woman is a tool for marriage, everything is a tool anyway!

If it is like Liu Yishou, with a bunch of women and kids around him, holding each one in his hands, how tiring it would be.Chen Yuankang also knew that he was completely inferior to Liu Yishou who cherished feathers, so he simply looked away.

He has "just needs" for women, but not for marrying a wife.

"It's you, why don't you marry a wife and have children these years, it's very puzzling."

Chen Yuankang stared at Yang Min and asked.

"Why don't you have a wife? If you don't have a suitable one, it's better not to look for it. It's not like I don't have a concubine." Yang Min said calmly, patting his slightly bulging belly. He didn't eat for a while and was hungry again.

"That's true. We are all from the north. We will return to Luoyang sooner or later. The situation at that time was very different from what it is now. The good in-laws now may be a burden by that time. Instead, they will be alone. Take a good turn."

Chen Yuankang sighed and said, Yang Min ordered his servants to prepare a pot, and the two chatted about government affairs while eating the hot pot.

"My lord, I want to destroy Wei this time. It just depends on how Gao Huan responds. If Gao Huan doesn't handle it well, maybe we will celebrate the New Year in Luoyang at the end of next year."

Chen Yuankang said in a deep voice, without politeness.He didn't come here today to catch up with Yang Min. The two had known each other for almost ten years, and they knew each other well, so they didn't have much to chat about.

"That's true, it's just that... money and food are a little insufficient. Gao Huan went south this time too hastily. I'm still trying to find a way. There are more than [-] troops on the front line, and food and grass are not a small amount!"

Yang Min sighed.

Gao Huan went south very suddenly, which means that the preparations of the Eastern Wei Dynasty must be very insufficient, so if Gao Huan loses too badly this time, Wei Guo will not be able to keep Luoyang, and even Yecheng will be very dangerous!

But at the same time, Liang Guo had no corresponding preparations and no certainty of victory.

Therefore, in the competition between countries, there is often no so-called "excellent opportunity".

You are ready, and your opponent is also ready. Everyone has cards in their hands. Whether you can win or not depends on the card playing skills of those in power.

Before that, Liu Yishou decided to open up wasteland and build water conservancy in Liang State. He also promulgated the "Farmland Water Conservancy Law" and resettled refugees to farm and so on.These measures require a lot of investment in the early stage, whether it is money or food.

It takes a few years to transform into national strength, which is a typical example of the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade.

Now it is necessary to use troops on a large scale, with a total of more than [-] troops from all walks of life, fighting a large-scale war of annihilation in the Henan area.I have to say that the logistical pressure is quite high.

"My mind is full of money now. As long as I have enough money, I can do whatever I want. He can choose whether to prostrate three times or nine times in person!"

Yang Min said with a distressed face, he really thought of all the ways he could think of, transportation is not the problem, where the food and grass come from is the big problem!

"Actually, there is a way. There is a lot of food in Sanwu. There has been no war for so many years, and the granaries of the big families over there are full!"

Chen Yuankang smiled meaningfully.

"But...it belongs to a big family in Sanwu, and it's not ours. You can't lead troops to snatch it, right? This time, Shen Ke of the Wuxing Shen family in Sanwu led thousands of troops on the front line, and other places in Sanwu also donated There is a lot of food and grass, and now they can no longer send food and grass to support the front line."

Yang Min said helplessly.

Of course it's easy to make money shamelessly, but Liu Yishou has drawn a red line and can't extort money.

Now Liang Guo has issued a "Bronze Buddha Order". Within [-] days, all bronze Buddhas in domestic temples must be replaced with wooden Buddhas or clay Buddhas.The folks are also not allowed to hold bronze wares weighing more than five catties, and they can exchange them for cloth within a limited period.

Then Liu Yishou ordered people to use the copper coins cast by these bronze Buddhas to trade "luxury handicrafts", which really made a lot of money.

However, such measures are only temporary and limited.

In the short term, the overall wealth of society has not actually increased. In essence, it is just a plunder at the national level.

Liu Yishou or in other words, when the wealth in the center of the Liang State increased, the wealth of the people decreased more or less. The only difference is whose wealth was robbed. This is a secret that many people see through but don't tell.

No matter how to cast copper coins, in the end Liang's domestic grain did not increase, and it was impossible to buy grain from other countries.Nowadays, it is still a bit stretched to use large-scale foreign troops.

Perhaps Gao Huan's fearlessness also took this factor into consideration.

"There is always a way, we just need to sell the land."

Chen Yuankang said disapprovingly.

"Sell the land? Where is the land sold?"

Yang Min was taken aback for a moment, completely understanding what Chen Yuankang was talking about.

After Liu Yishou came to power, the sale and purchase of land has been strictly prohibited. Where can there be land for sale?At present, a lot of land in Liang State is "state-owned", and except for a part due to the tenants, the rest of the grain produced is used for military supplies and regular warehouses.

Liu Yishou's point of view is that if we cannot directly eliminate the big families, then we should turn the country into the largest big family and suppress land annexation!

The tax rate of "Guotian" has always been kept slightly lower than that of the big families. This move is also to maintain economic balance and prevent those big landlords from setting the rent too high.If you set the rent too high, all the tenants will go to the "country field" to cultivate.

Liu Yishou didn't have the ability to kill all those big families, but he still thought of many ways to make those people feel uncomfortable everywhere!

"My lord has said that the land of the Liang Kingdom cannot be sold, of course the land in the north must be sold."

Chen Yuankang took out a letter from his cuff, shook it in his hand and said.

Can you still play like this?

Yang Min took the letter with a dull expression, read it from beginning to end, fell into silence, speechless for a long time.

"Sell the land in Gao Huan's hands to the people of Sanwu, the Lord is indeed able to do it."

Yang Min sighed softly, with mixed feelings in his heart and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Liu Yishou is a person with ideals, ambitions and goals, and he still has the world in his heart.If Liu Yishou really wants to play bad, just look at the bad water in his stomach, how many people will be harmed!

Liu Yishou's method is fundamentally different from Gao Huan's brutal "land sale".

Gao Huan doesn't feel sorry for calling the cub to sell his father, but Liu Yishou has a complete overall plan, and there are endless routines in it.

The first one, the land mentioned in the letter was "sold" very cheaply, and it was all around Yecheng, near the Zhangshui River.No one knows whether it is fertile land, and it cannot be investigated for the time being.

However, from the topographical point of view, the places close to the river and convenient for irrigation are very likely to be fertile fields.

Second, Liu Yishou said before, "Is there any place in the world that is the land of the king", so these newly occupied lands also belong to the category of the king's land before the imperial court rewards them.

Now "selling land" is not a real sale, it is just a "lease" of the land to the big households in the Sanwu area. fee".The payment is based on the area of ​​the field, more for larger areas and less for small areas.

In other words, the money Yang Min collected this time was just money for "going through the formalities" and had nothing to do with the nature of the land itself.

Once the land is allocated successfully, the lease period is ten years, and there is no need to pay additional rent except for the official government tax (which has always been very low).After ten years, you have to go to the government to "renew the contract".If the "renewal" is unsuccessful, the government will take back the land.

And the "renewal" still needs to pay a one-time "handling fee", which is the same as the "land sale" this time.

That is to say, if the big families who rented the land at that time had to fight against Liu Yishou if they did not support Liu Yishou, then they had better pray that the private army in their hands could fight against the court.

Otherwise, whether it is an open rebellion or a secret resistance, the imperial court has a way to play them to death within the rules.
