Under Qian Xiao's words, all these common people were stunned.
One by one, they clenched the cloth bags in their hands. Could it be that the master of the Yangzhou Army is going to repent and not let them take away the food.
"I told you earlier, these officials are not well-intentioned!"
"Could it be that they are going to gather together and kill us!" A panicked voice rang out.
"Folks, you have misunderstood, misunderstood!" Qian Xiao explained over there.
"Folks, our Yangzhou Army keeps our promises, and it is impossible to take back the grain we sent out, but folks, we don't want these grains, but some people want it! Huang Jian, Jiang Hua, these two We haven't been able to wipe them out. If our Yangzhou army leaves! It won't be able to help the folks, so I hope the folks will hide the food and grass in your home! Don't be robbed again! "Qian Xiao shouted loudly over there.
"What? Are you leaving?" The common people over there wanted to leave Yunnan when they heard Qian Xiao's tone.
"General Qian is leaving?" Gao Qiu over there was also stunned for a moment, and was about to step forward to question him. He joined the Yangzhou Army because Qian Xiao promised to help him kill Huang Jian. However, he was stopped by Qian Xiao's personal guards, "Vice General Gao, we just captured Yunnan City, how could we just leave like this!"
"En?" Gao Qiu looked at the guard suspiciously.
"Deputy General Gao will know after reading it!"
"General, you can't leave, what should we do if you leave!"
"Yeah, what should we do if you leave! Huang Jian and Jiang Hua can come back at any time. If they come back, we will have no way to survive!"
Above the square, the noisy voice rang out again.
There were those who were frightened, those who were afraid that Huang Jian and Jiang Hua would fight back, and those who complained why the Yangzhou Army could not directly eliminate Jiang Hua and Huang Jian.
But to sum it up in one sentence, these ordinary people don't want the Yangzhou Army to leave.
"The hearts of the people are available!" In another building that has been tidied up, Jia Xu is watching Qian Xiao's performance on the square.
Zhang Jin stood aside and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Yes, although our army defeated Huang Jian and Jiang Hua, we don't have enough troops to wipe them out, so we can only say sorry to the folks! We will leave in a few days!" Qian Qian Akatsuki made a sad expression.
"No troops?"
"After our army defeated Zhao Wei and Jiang Hua and Huang Jian, there were less than 10,000 soldiers in the army, and it was difficult to resist the attack of Huang Jian and Jiang Hua. What's more, in the Jianning generation, there are still Zhao Wei remnants of Zhao Liang's troops!" Qian Xiao said to the crowd.
Because of Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's crimes, these Yunnan people have long hated Zhao Wei and Zhao Liang together.
The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, isn't it
"General, don't leave! No one, we have!"
"Yeah, no one, we have, we have no money. We have no food, but we have a life. If the general doesn't dislike it, I will follow the general and work for my life!" A man in hardcover yelled.
"General, we also want to follow you!" The common people echoed.
"General, my son is eighteen this year, let him follow the general!"
"General, our husband is twenty, please accept him too!"
These ordinary people were really scared, they were afraid that Jiang Hua and Huang Jian would come back again. They finally got the hope of life, and they didn't want to lose him like this again.
Jia Xu's food and grass. Successfully made these common people feel at ease with the Yangzhou army.
"Mr. Wenhe, you really are a great talent!" In the house. Zhang Jin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole, after Jia Xu used Jiang Hua and Huang Jian as spearmen, he defeated them all at once and seized their gains.
For those food, grass and gold, Jia Xu could have directly recruited troops.
But those soldiers and horses don't have much recognition for the Yangzhou Army.
It was because the common people had no food to eat and wanted to have a bite to eat, so they joined the Yangzhou Army, so this is a kind of negative substitution.
But now it is different, the same batch of grain and grass is used, and these grain and grass are sent to the common people for free.
These ordinary people have the hope of living, so that this hope will not be destroyed by Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's comeback, they must be protected.
One is passively serving as a soldier, and the other is actively serving as a soldier. There is simply a huge difference between them.
Jia Xu said nothing, just smiled lightly.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Folks, if folks are willing to join our Yangzhou Army, we will naturally welcome them. Likewise, folks, we won't let folks send their sons and husbands to the battlefield for nothing! Look!"
As he said that, Qian Xiao asked the subordinates behind him to bring up several large boxes.
All the common people looked at Qian Xiao not knowing what Qian Xiao was doing.
"Open them!" Qian Xiao took out stacks of papers from the box.
"That, is that a land deed?" Someone leaned close to the tip of his eyes, and seemed to recognize it at a glance.
"Brother Chen, did you read it wrong?" someone said in disbelief.
If this brother Chen just now might not be sure, but now he is so excited by someone, he will be sure immediately, "It can't be wrong, that is the land deed! I have seen our land deed a few months ago!"
Brother Chen felt a little bitter when he talked about this past event.
The land deed belonged to their family a few months ago. Later, because his mother was ill, he borrowed a little money like those gentry for medical treatment.
Originally, there were only a few hundred texts in the area, but later they became more and more, and in the end, they had to take the land deed to pay off the debt.
"That's right, these are all land deeds!" Qian Xiao confirmed what Brother Chen said.
What is the general doing with the title deed? Everyone became more and more confused.
"Folks, as long as you join the Yangzhou Army, then these land deeds will be my Yangzhou Army's settlement allowance for the villagers!" Qian Xiao shouted to the crowd below.
"Every household, five acres of fertile land!" Qian Xiao said his bargaining chips.
"Wow" the whole scene was boiling. Being a soldier can not only protect Yunnan, but also get fertile land.
Now not only can this winter pass, but it may be able to survive next year and the next year.
"I want to be a soldier!"
"Count me in!"
"I'm coming too!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, if you want to join my Yangzhou army, go over there to register!" Qian Xiao was also well prepared, there was already a recruiter holding a desk, and a dozen people beside him were working together.
"This general. Are those title deeds really given?" Some people were still hesitant.
"Then, little brother, do you really want to join my Yangzhou army?" Qian Xiao asked back.
"En!" The man who asked the question nodded. He originally planned to eat military rations.
"What's your name!? Where are you from!" Qian Xiao continued to ask.
"My name is Li Ergou! I'm from Li Family Village!"
"Okay, register!" Qian Xiao asked the people over there to register.
"Come on, take this and wait over there!" Qian Xiao then stuffed a few pieces of paper into Li Ergou's hand.
"The title deed, it's really the title deed!" Li Ergou picked it up. Only then did I realize that it was really a document of the land deed.
"Li Ergou, as long as you fill in your name on this blank title deed, then the five acres of fertile land outside the city will be yours!" Qian Xiao said to Li Ergou.
"I, I. I don't know how to read!" said the simple and honest commoner who asked the question.
"Come on, help Li Ergou write his name!" As he said that, someone came up to help Li Ergou write his name on the blank land deed.
"I, I also have land? I also have land!" Li Ergou said that he has not yet reacted.
"Li Ergou, but let me put my ugly words in front of you. When you join our Yangzhou Army, you will be accepted only if you pass the qualifications. The five acres of fertile land are really yours. If you fail, we will not accept all of the five acres of fertile land. Leave two acres of land for your ration!" Qian Xiaoyan said.
Jia Xu had already negotiated two acres of land, enough for one person to eat without starving to death.
"I will definitely enter!" Li Ergou said firmly.
"This general, how much is the tax!" Some people asked, if these lands were given to them, the tax would be as high as 80% or 90%, what would be the difference from having no land.
Their lease is nothing more than this tax.
"My tax in Yangzhou, I believe the head of the family should have known it a long time ago. All land is 30% taxed!" Qian Xiao continued to preach.
Now everyone can't sit still.
"I want to be a soldier, I want to be a soldier!" Everyone scrambled for fear of being weaker than others.
This is still a good idea. Isn't a good man a soldier? It's just upside down. When Yangzhou soldiers and horses, if it is done. That is five mu of land, if not, then there is one mu of good land.
"Wait, wait!" Qian Xiao wiped the sweat off his face and continued speaking.
"Our Yangzhou army also has requirements for recruiting people!" Qian Xiao said to everyone.
Men, between sixteen and thirty, those with disabilities are not required, and those who can read and write are preferred.
In this way, almost half of the fertile land in Yunnan City in Qian Xiao's hands was given away very quickly.
The number reached more than 40,000. And it's still growing. If it weren't for the darkening sky and the fact that people in many places around Yunnan don't know, I don't know how many people there are.
…
Qian Xiao dragged his tired body to meet Jia Xu.
"Mr. Wenhe, this number is too many, are we not recruiting anymore?!" Qian Xiao asked Jia Xu over there. Because Jia Xu said before that only 30,000 troops were recruited, and he was afraid that Liu Zhang in Chengdu would worry too much.
"Why not recruit?!" Jia Xu said secretly, "I said I only need 30,000 soldiers!"
No matter how many people were recruited, there were only 30,000 troops in the end.
Wouldn't it be nice to have more people to choose from
"But those lands?!" Qian Xiao was a little bit pained, because as long as he recruited in, even if he didn't want you in the end, he would still give you two acres of land.
"These lands were originally for those common people!" Jia Xu said with a smile.
In Yangzhou, Han Wang Liu Mang implemented the conscription system.
As long as people go to Yangzhou, the land will be counted according to the head. As long as you open up wasteland, the land you open up will be yours.
Over there, three acres are calculated on the basis of one head.
Now Jia Xu only counts two acres, because of the terrain in Yunnan, there are not many fertile fields.
In the past, Jia Xu also felt distressed just like Qian Xiao, because those fields were all wasted money.
But after that, Jia Xu will not.
Because he knew that the land was over there, and he couldn't take it away at all.
Instead of leaving it abandoned, it is better to give it to the common people for farming, and you can also collect taxes.
What's more, with these lands, will the people with these titles give up easily
If someone is going to grab the land deeds of the common people now, then their only ending is to provoke a civil uprising.
Also because of the gift of land, I believe that the people in Yunnan are no longer afraid of those barbarian armies. On the contrary, they may still be able to live in harmony.
From the beginning, Jia Xu was an invader, but now he has become a soldier who is welcomed by the people of Yunnan.
"I see!" Qian Xiao nodded and left.
The reorganization of the 30,000 army was in full swing.
…
"Jia Xu killed Zhao Wei?!" During Yangzhou's birthday, Liu Mang looked at the information in front of him in a daze. He asked Jia Xu to send troops to Yunnan, but he didn't want to kill Zhao Wei.
Because he also knows that although Wuxi now belongs to him, Liu Mang.
But Liu Mang knows better that Wuxi's war potential is not great.
Not to mention that the current Huzi has not completely unified Wuxi, so Huzi can only take part of the soldiers and horses to guard the tribe when he goes to Yunnan.
Similarly, no matter how powerful Jia Xu is, he can't fight ten against one, not to mention that Zhao Wei is not a soft persimmon, and he is even more difficult to deal with than Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang.
Liu Mang sent Jia Xu to the barbarians in Wuxi. His original intention was not to entrust Jia Xu with important tasks, but Liu Mang was unilaterally upset and wanted to take revenge on the old fox.
When the time comes, Liu Mang will also transfer the old fox back from Wuxi, and Yun has resumed his position.
But never thought that Jia Xu would actually destroy Zhao Wei, relying on his three thousand barbarian army
Liu Mang couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. He still knew that although this old fox Jia Xu was a bit hateful, he still didn't dare to lie about this.
Liu Mang continued to read the letter, which was what Jia Xu did after entering Yunnan.
From how he used 3,000 troops to divert the tiger away from the mountain, how to encircle and fight for aid, and how he surrendered Qian Xiao and others, all of them showed the ability of this old fox.
"An old fox is an old fox!" Liu Mang couldn't help but cursed while reading the letter.
Why, because after staying with Jia Xu for a long time, Liu Mang knew Jia Xu's nature, which was 80% similar to him, Liu Mang, and to describe it in one word would be lazy. Can sit and never stand.
If this old fox usually wrote down the history of the Yunnan war so carefully, I'm afraid there will only be a letter with a few large characters written on it, Zhao Wei is dead.
Kill Zhao Wei and the like alive.
But now that Jia Xu is so detailed, there is a kind of show off, telling Liu Mang that I am a talent and capable, so hurry up and transfer me away from Wuxi. (to be continued~^~)
