Chapter 341 Tian Yuan forces and corners (1)

Even if there was a threat from Qi in the north, King Yi of Yue knew that the battle of mo Di must be fought.

However, he also knew that he could only let the Mo family retreat, but it was impossible to send troops directly to the Mo family's nest. If he entered the Mo family's nest, it would be equivalent to starting a war against Song. The Mo family picked it very clearly in the letter that this battle was when Teng Kaogong asked the Mo family to revive Teng after he asked the Mo family to revive the country, not the Song and Yue countries to go to war.

At this time, Yue Kingdom was already in a state of being strong outside and doing things. King Yi of Yue also understood that Teng was a remote place, but in fact, it did not have much benefit to Yue Kingdom at this time.

However, the restoration of Teng's country means that a bunch of small countries in the Sishui River Basin will have different thoughts.

When Fuchai fought for hegemony, he dismissed the king of Zou. After Goujian destroyed Wu, he interfered in the internal affairs of Zou under the pretext of being cruel to the king of Zou. He dismissed the pro-Lu Duke of Zou Yin, and supported the son of Yin Duke Cao He to the throne, making Zou a vassal state of Yue.

The country that was close to Qi back then was destroyed by the country of Yue when Qi was unable to interfere with the people of Yue.

The Tan Kingdom, which was standing on the side of Qi and Lu, was also destroyed by the Yue Kingdom.

The Little Zou Kingdom, Ni Kingdom, had already begun to pay tribute to the Yue Kingdom before the Marquis of Lu drove the King of Yue.

Ji Sun, who was separated by the State of Lu, had an endless grudge between him and Lu. He was nominally a vassal state of Lu. However, Ji Sun, who had mastered the state of Lu during the period of Zhongni, divided the state of Lu in exchange for no longer interfering in the internal affairs of Lu, so he was also tribute to the State of Yue.

Now King Yi of Yue understands that Yue Kingdom can no longer hold on in the north, but once the hegemony system collapses, conflicts within Yue will always break out.

Teng Kingdom is an initiator of the outbreak of domestic conflicts in Vietnam.

If Teng State restored its country and did not receive revenge from Yue State, then these tribute states and vassal states would soon not recognize Yue State's hegemony.

In this way, the situation of Yue Kingdom in the north will be in danger and there is no choice but to shrink completely.

Once the Goujian era has completely contracted and abandoned the situation opened up in the north after suffering thousands of hardships, the Vietnamese country will completely lose the opportunity to become a big country and will never have the possibility of turning around.

This is why King Yi of Yue gritted his teeth. If it were just a small Teng Kingdom, its interests would not be enough to risk the backstab of Qi, but there were too many factors behind the small Teng Kingdom.

However, it is not easy to go to the army.

When the 30,000 troops went to war, they had to accompany some of the peasants and soldiers, and they had to recruit a batch of rice along Hangou. They also had to recruit local Yue people from Wu and Yue to go north to guard Langya to prevent Qi from counterattacking.

All of this will take at least a year.

After hearing the reward of Ying, King Yi of Yue went to attack Teng with 10,000 or 20,000 people. Yue Kingdom could no longer bear the defeat, and another failure would bring about a series of chain reactions.

…………

Tengguo.

The new Teng Hou Jite has ascended the throne. After hiring the right position as a prime minister, the second thing Jite did surprised the people in Teng.

After Ji Te entered the palace, he had no money, so he dismissed all the servants in the palace. They made a living by this. When the Yue people were here, they also served Yue people.

At the annual rent price of 20 ounces of gold, a part of the palace houses will be rented to the Teng Guoxun Zhengyuan, which will be established, as the highest power center of Teng Guo.

He knew his position very well, so he made the smartest choice.

During the rally seven days after the capture of Teng City, most of the people in the capital of Teng Kingdom sent people there.

The Mohist family opened the treasury and checked the food collected by the Yue Kingdom that everyone declared, and paid all the money. It was not that no one took the opportunity to report it, but the amount was very small, and there were still a few people who reported it, which was not worth the loss.

This alone, a thing that the Mohist family had long been accustomed to defending the city, immediately won the hearts of the people in Teng land.

During the seven days of waiting for the gathering, the civilians who followed Pei County had already begun to repair the city walls of Tengdi. They were busy for a month and returned to Pei County before harvesting the wheat.

During the gathering, while the Mohist family won the hearts of the people, the local tribes in Teng were basically killed. Therefore, according to the list formulated by Pei County and the policies of Pei County, the Mohist family formulated officials at all levels, and at the same time retained some of the minor officials in the original Teng area.

These small officials in Tengdi need to study for two years. If they pass the assessment in two years, they can continue to be officials. If they fail, they will be cleared.

As a prime minister, he planned a three-year "military and political" stage. During this period, the Mohist took over all the power of Teng land, and within three years he had to mobilize the people to promote the concept. After three years, he would conduct the election of the General Office and the selection of officials.

Therefore, even if the Inquiry Yuan is established, it is completely different from the Song State - all the lists of the Inquiry Yuan are all Mozhe's own people.

Most officials were also assigned to the Mo people, and more than 200 cadres were specifically responsible for future land reform, village and community mergers and other policies.

The only one who is considered a local official is Teng Shuyu, who has led a few people to become a role specializing in managing the order of the city, similar to a sheriff. Of course, this is also temporary.

During the gathering, since the return of the collection of food has gained the trust and hearts of the people, there is no need to use means such as moving the wood to establish a trust.

After two days of gathering, it was directly announced that the law of Pei County was temporarily used, which became the written law of Teng Kingdom. Three years later, after the military and political period ended, the law and policy were settled after the candidates for the Parliamentary Yuan were elected.

Teng originally implemented the secret law of aristocratic people, and this was even more so after the Yue people came. The political system of Yue was naturally not comparable to that of the Three Jins and Zheng in the Central Plains.

Subsequently, Shi announced that the public and private fields of fleeing nobles were counted, and the auction was conducted voluntarily, and all the amounts required for the auction were returned within fifteen years.

Among them, those without land are given a fixed number, and those who operate more industries are allowed to buy and sell land, but after those without land are given priority.

Tengdi does not need to curb problems such as mergers for the time being. Even now, handicrafts centered on Pei County are developing very rapidly, and a large amount of labor continues to pour into the city.

When you can own your own land, most people will not be willing to become handicraftsmen under the land tax, which is inevitable, especially when the average land is large now.

This problem is ready and solved later, so there is no need to consider it for the time being.

Public land tax will be exempted this year, land allocation will be completed before next year, and one-tenth of land tax will be levied from next year, and will be temporarily levied in kind tax.

During this period, the people in Teng land were ordered to serve labor and build city walls, and to build forts in three places outside Teng City to cope with the possible counterattack of the Yue people.

During the construction of cities and fortresses, it was considered semi-mandatory, but the Mohist family would pay a certain amount of Mohist family currency.

You can buy iron and salt in the supply and marketing cooperative set up by the Mohist school, or you can buy cattle and horses as long as the money is enough.

During this period, part of the grain will be paid from the treasury, and Pei County will collect part of the grain and transport it to the public, and the in-kind tax will be used as collateral for next year to repay it first.

Based on thousands of civilians who are already accustomed to this kind of excavation work, the local people in Teng Country are organized this month to familiarize them with this collective excavation and learn to use new tools.

More than 100 Mohists, as well as some of the farmers who were familiar with the new planting technology recruited from Pei County, will teach these people's techniques to build the city walls in more than half a year.

Before planting winter wheat in winter, these people will also be asked to help, so that the land can develop rapidly as much as possible, and at the same time, the grassroots organization of the Mohist family here will be completed.

In addition to these people who were specifically responsible for excavating and building the city walls, a team of 2,500 people was selected and a charity division from Tengdi was established to conduct full-time military training.

The food provided by the Mohists and the distribution of certain currency is actually equivalent to finding a new and huge market for the Mohists' iron tools.

The money you paid may not be able to afford it. After the ironware is on credit, in addition to technological changes, the exchanged commodity grain that Tengdi can provide will be greatly improved within one year, and in the end, the Mohist family will still make a profit.

Moreover, starting next year, Teng land will be tithed. In fact, after the land reform and agricultural reform are completed with the population of Teng land, it is more than enough to raise 2,500 full-time soldiers... Of course, muskets and cannons are not included, otherwise they will not be able to afford it.

The more than a month after becoming a Xiangbang, he spent the extremely busy life.

Pei County plans to send cadres and personnel here to support it, and he will preside over affairs such as measuring land, selecting soldiers, surveying and mapping city walls, etc.

Fortunately, the talents trained by Pei County in recent years are barely available, and finally they are not too busy to break their hands and feet.

The more he knew that the Mo family wanted to accomplish something, and they were not anxious.

He said that the successful revolution in later generations that was well known was the foundation of millions of middle school and primary school students left behind by the Beiyang era. Without these people, it would be impossible to build a perfect country's grassroots cadres.

The foundation of the Mohist family is now based on this grassroots control, and it will develop in the Sishui River Basin. Otherwise, even if the world is won, it will either be usurped by the nobles or will be counterattacked by the nobles. He is very clear-headed and cannot be fast but slow.

These Mozhes who had been practicing in Pei County for several years and some young people from schools can master most of the land measurement and other things, and the overall progress is very smooth.

There is no need to harm the interests of living people. The land is either public land or the land of the fugitive nobles, or a part of the Yue people occupied.

Teng land was close to the Lu State, which was the first to implement the initial acre tax, and was also close to the usurpation of Ji Sun Shi, who was the first to implement the private land ownership reform. There were many private lands here that had long been recognized, and Shi did not touch them, thus gaining partial support from the emerging commercial landlord class to oppose the old nobles.

By the time the summer grain and wheat collection knots came, the "ownerless" land around the capital of Teng Kingdom was measured, the new city wall with edges and concave surfaces had been solidified, and two newly built brick making workshops also began to burn bricks to reinforce the city walls.
