Chapter 403: New Land

Gongsun Yi entered Yingkou County in a grand manner as a special envoy for negotiations. Gao Yuan's attack this time was under the banner of the Gongsun tribe. The people who came to discuss the peace treaty must be authentic Gongsun tribe members. Although they took off their pants and farted, Both parties knew it well, seeing Gongsun Yi's signature on the peace treaty, Yan Shenghao really knocked his teeth out and swallowed it in his stomach.

Five hundred thousand taels of silver, plus Yingkou and Baokang were assigned to the Gongsun tribe, and the Gongsun tribe promised to release more than 1,500 Hejian prisoners headed by Yan Peng, and promised that they would not send Hejian County any more Enter the Mainland.

Hejian County itself has more than 10,000 elite standing troops, but after provoking Gao Yuan, almost the entire army was wiped out in less than a year. There are only 3,000 standing troops who can do it, and this level of strength can't resist Chen Bing's Gaoyuan army in Baokang. They cut land and pay compensation, and trade space for time, so that they can accumulate strength to avenge today's shame. It is Yan Shenghao Only thoughts now. Looking at the triumphant Gongsun Yi, Yan Shenghao said fiercely in his heart: "Just wait, one day, I will finally let you return ten times, a hundred times."

Gongsun Yicai ignored Yan Shenghao's current thoughts. The county guard of Dayan in front of him was already a grasshopper after autumn, and he would not be able to jump for a few days. The reason why General Gao did not take advantage of the victory to march was mainly because of the overall situation ahead. When the big event over there is certain, he will turn around and clean up the guy in front of him. Next time, he should go to Hejian County.

Flicking the contract in his hand, Gongsun Yi said triumphantly: "Shou Yan. Five hundred thousand taels of silver, please prepare it within ten days. After ten days, we will return Mr. Ling and others, and we will come to collect the money at the same time." A ransom and taking over Yingkou."

"Don't worry, you won't lose a tael of silver. Please tell General Gao when you go back. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet later." Yan Shenghao popped a few words through his teeth.

Gongsun Yi laughed. "Okay, okay, we will definitely meet soon."

In Baokang City, Gao Yuan summoned Wu Ci'an, Hu Bin, Tang Ming and Wang Yi. The large forces of the Fufeng Army will retreat. Go back to Jishi City, while Tang Ming and Wang Yi lead their troops to garrison Baokang and Yingkou respectively.

"Wu county magistrate is highly respected in Baokangde, and has great prestige among the people. It can be said that he is well-received, so I am relieved of Baokang, but Hu county magistrate. The situation in Yingkou may be worse. I reckon, When Yan Shenghao retreated, there must be a large number of Yingkou people who retreated with him. After all, we came here under the banner of the Huns this time. A lot of difficulties." Gao Yuan looked at Hu Bin who was not yet thirty years old. road.

"I don't know what clever strategy General Gao has?" Hu Bin cupped his hands and said, "Yesterday my father also mentioned this issue, and I really can't do anything about it."

"Land!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "You only need to do one thing,

Hold the land in your hands. This time, most of Yan Shenghao's co-workers must be wealthy gentry and landlords. These people have money. As for the ordinary people, they have nothing. There will definitely be escapees, but not too many, so after you go, the first One thing is to immediately return the land of these escaped families to the government. Aren't you going to run away, well, then you don't have to come back after you run away. "

"What about after getting these lands?"

"Of course it will be distributed!" Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "For those landless people who have not left, each household will be given 100 acres of land, and a title deed will be made for them, telling them that the land will belong to them in the future. Those who have farm tools will give them farm tools, and those who don’t have livestock will give them livestock, well, if there is a lack of livestock, please tell me, and I will allocate it for you.”

"In this way, the people who stay will naturally cheer and the people will be at peace, and the people who followed may come back." Hu Bin became excited.

"That's right. In the beginning, some bold ones came back. Later, more and more people will definitely come." Gao Yuan knocked on the table, "In Hejian County, land mergers are serious, and a small number of rich gentry and landlords hold a lot of land. , most of the common people don’t have land, once your policy is implemented, I’m afraid that more and more people will come to your Yingkou day by day, and your father must be familiar with spreading news.”

Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Hu Bin's face changed slightly. Gao Yuan keenly captured Hu Bin's psychological change at this moment, and said with a smile: "I know, your Hu family also has a lot of money in Baokang. But you go back and tell your father, forget about the old ones, but from today onwards, the Hu family can no longer buy land, I think he understands what I mean."

"Yes." Hu Bin was overjoyed, the general meant to let the past go.

"Magistrate Wu, you are very concerned about Baokang's situation. I heard that you have been promoting the policy of going to the border to cultivate and open up wasteland for these years. The Huns are harassing, but what are you afraid of now, from Baokang to the grasslands, they no matter how immigrated, no matter how open up wasteland, with me, every family of the Huns will come to make trouble." Turning to look at Wu Ci'an, Gao Yuan said.

"This subordinate understands!" Wu Ci'an nodded repeatedly.

"Like Yingkou, we give policies and incentives, and we make up for what is missing. We can exempt them from taxes for one to two years on the reclaimed raw land. Of course, if it is the cultivated land itself, it cannot be exempted. After all, now Our Zhengdong Mansion is still very poor."

"Understood!" The two county magistrates nodded in unison.

"Tang Ming, Wang Yi, the two of you are stationed in Yingkou, and you have a heavy responsibility to protect health. Sun Xiao has already explained to you two the next step of our deployment to conquer the East Mansion?" Gao Yuan turned to look at the two old subordinates, They are the few remaining Fufeng veterans.

"General Sun has given us instructions." Tang Ming nodded.

"Very well, I believe that with the abilities of the two county magistrates, it won't take long for a large number of people to flood into Yingkou and Baokang. You are stationed in these two places, not only to be responsible for the security of these two places, but also to prevent Yan Shenghao from making small moves. , At the same time, we need to expand the army. The number I gave you both is 1,000 people. Remember, it is better to be short than to overrun. Our Fufeng Army has never won by relying on numbers."

"The last general must strictly control the pass, and train another elite soldier for the general." The two generals are full of confidence.

"You are all veterans of Fufeng, so I won't say anything unnecessary." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "The two of you are stationed here. In the next period of time, whether it is me or Sun Xiao, you may not care about it." I'm here with you, the two of you will watch over and help each other, and hold this bridgehead for me."

Tang Ming Wang Yi suddenly stood up, "Follow the general's order."

"Sit down, there is one more thing, you can just keep it in your mind. Coach Helan has decided to live in Baokang for a while. Maybe he will also go to Yingkou for a while. You are responsible for her safety. You must not A little surprise."

"Coach Helan doesn't know how to build a stone city?" Tang Ming asked in amazement. Such a maverick aunt would have a headache if she was on her own line of defense. In Tang Ming's eyes, He Lanyan was naturally one of the big figures at the top. He has a partial temper and is very aggressive, and he is extremely afraid of this aunt.

"Coach Helan is a bit wild, but it depends on whether the two of you will please her. If she is happy, maybe you will personally take action to train those scouts in your hands!" Gao Yuan smiled. stand up. "Let her do something, but it will be better. If you keep her at arm's length and confess her high, then there will be trouble."

"The general understands!" Looking at the general in front of him, Tang Ming and Wang Yi were extremely admired. As expected, it was the general who knew this aunt best. They were all Fufeng veterans. Tiaotiao, both of them are clear-cut, but the more this is the case, the more troublesome it will be for them. Now Gao Yuan has given them an idea, not to mention to make them feel enlightened and enlightened.

"This time, 500,000 taels of silver were knocked from Yan Shenghao, and Yingkou and Baokang each got 100,000 taels. For the rest, the two county magistrates have to figure out their own solutions." Gao Yuan stood up, "In a short time, I can't afford a penny anymore, I have to use money everywhere. When the stall was small, I thought the stall was big, and when the stall was really big, I realized that the more troubles I had. Well, everything is complicated, and I don't keep You guys, let it be like this, tomorrow, I will leave Baokang and go back, so you can take care of yourself."

In Jishi City, Guo Quan, the worker Cao, was barefoot, covered in muddy water, and even his face was covered with some mud. At this moment, he was standing under the half-built city tower, holding a blueprint in his hand, and several foremen The people who looked like pointed and pointed. As the number of people in Jishi City increased, more and more people could be used by him. The construction speed of Jishi City was getting faster and faster. After the completion of the tower, The next step is to start the construction of the city, but it is a more complicated and time-consuming project.

Ever since Wu Kai and County Magistrate Wu took office, the messy Jishi City has finally taken on a new look. The craftsmen from Langya County have all settled down. Enclosed land outside the city, and ordinary craftsmen have already devoted themselves to this vigorous cause of building the city.

There are wages, and free land, houses, and livestock. They are released from slavery. Where can I find such a good thing in this world? The enthusiasm of the craftsmen is unprecedented, and the pain of traveling thousands of miles is now replaced by satisfaction. Without such hard work, how can we get the happy life we ​​have today?

After work, these craftsmen would go to the marked fields to take a look. Although the marked land was still covered with snow, the sign on it had already written their names. This is their own When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, this land will be reclaimed, and then the hope of the family will be planted.

"Master Guo, Master Guo!" A servant under Gongcao ran over like flying, "Go back quickly."

Guo Quan gave him a dissatisfied look, "What's the matter, didn't you see that the tower here is about to go up to the girder? How can I walk away at this time?"

The official was out of breath, "Master Guo, General Gao wants to see you, and now he wants your work room!"

"What? General Gao wants to see me?" Guo Quan let go, and the blueprint in his hand fell to the ground. Several foremen hurriedly picked it up, but saw that Guo Quan's legs were weak, and he also fell to the ground.
