Since ancient times, it has been difficult to raise soldiers.

But if you have money and land, and have an official status, it is actually not difficult to raise soldiers.

The key is to win the support of this area of ​​land and water.

Give hope to the people.

Let them see the future.

When the people regard you as their parents of food and clothing and believe that you can bring them happiness, the people at that time were willing to sell their lives to you.

Therefore, since ancient times, the people of China have been the most powerful soldiers.

Although Guo Ziyi did not understand ancient military affairs, he served as a soldier for three years in later generations. Every Chinese soldier, known as the strongest army on earth, knew what the military and civilians were like.

So Guo Ziyi has absolute confidence that he wants to build the most powerful army of this era.

...

At that time, in the second year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, in July, and at the end of summer.

Lanling established a county and the county government reopened, but the first county magistrate, Guo Dazhuang, was loyal and kind. He did not recruit civilians to build a city with corvee. Instead, he promulgated a benevolent policy, which made the people in the county cry.

That day, the list was posted as follows:

"Now there are 120,000 mu of land, and the people are granted to the people to contract farming. There are 1,300 households in the county, and the total number of people in Dingkou is 6,000. Among them, the middle-aged men are about 2,000, young, young, and children are about 4,000. However, the county does not discriminate against age or gender. All the people of our county are qualified to cultivate the fields."

“The details of land granting are as follows:”

"120,000 mu, 6,000 mu of land, each person has the total amount of 20 mu of land, and each mu is charged and unified. Apart from that, no more collection."

"What is the mention of unification?"

"As soon as you mention it, it is to extract 40% of the harvest of the land and hand it over to the owner of the land as an income for the grant of the land to the people."

"Unification means that one of the total output of land per mu is handed over to the Lanling County Government Warehouse for use as a coordinated expenditure."

"A total of 50% is collected by mentioning and unification, and the people's farming output can remain 50%. Except for this, there is no need to pay any taxes, and the remaining 50% will be all over the household."

"In addition, it is specially made to explain why one-in-one registration is required?"

"The reason is that these lands are private, and it is impossible for the people to grant land for free. For example, the owner of the land must pay taxes to the court and also bear the money for the purchase of oxen. If there is no income to compensate, this policy cannot last long."

"As for the 10% collected by the county government, it is used for the people. For example, opening village schools, recruiting people and serving emergency expenses, relieving cold and suffering during festivals, etc., in short, all civil expenses in the county are taken from this foundation."

"Finally, I wish the people of the county a good meal and clothing every year, never starve to death, and not to live in vain for this life."

"In the second year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, the magistrate of Lanling County and Guo Dazhuang."

A list of articles was posted, and the world caused a stir.

...

In Chang'an, the prime minister Li's mansion.

A bang!

Li Linfu punched the table hard.

"This child must not be kept."

Under the lights, Li Linfu's face was cold and cold, especially the flashing murderous intent in his eyes, which scared several descendants in the house to fear.

Fortunately, at this moment, a noble lady came in with soup. Seeing the depressing atmosphere in the room, she quickly persuaded her warmly, saying, "What's wrong with your husband? Why is his face so blue?"

Li Linfu took a deep breath and said, "I am worried about the future of the Li family."

The future of the Li family?

What's there to worry about?

Now that Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling is getting older, he may retire and return home one day. Who else is the Li family’s opponent in the entire court?

The lady obviously had no worries and handed the soup with a smile on her face, saying, "Husband, drink it while it's hot. This is a specially made female swallow, a treasure that was intercepted from the tribute."

But Li Linfu was furious and smashed the soup bowl on the ground, shouting: "Stopping the tribute? Who did it? You are so brave. This is a matter of losing your head."

The lady was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "But it has always been like this before."

"It was the past, it was the present!"

Li Linfu roared and said with a grim expression: "Anyway, you all remember that it is a turbulent time now. I am walking on thin ice in the court every day, dealing with everything tremblingly. You should do this too, be cautious."

As he said that, he glanced at the noble lady, then looked at the dozen men in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that you can be arrogant when you are born in the prime minister's house. I am not afraid to tell you that our Li family is in trouble. If you can't get through this level, the whole family might be dead."

This was so scary that everyone in the room changed their faces.

A young man couldn't help but speak and said carefully: "Father, did this Guo Dazhuang provoke you?"

"What Guo Dazhuang? That's Guo Ziyi!"

Li Linfu glared at the young man with a fierce look and said, "I put him in prison and formed a grudge, but when I was dealing with the envoy in the court, I had already found a way to show goodwill to him. If I continue to work hard, maybe both sides can shake hands and make peace."

"As a result, on the night he escaped from prison, you, a bastard, sent someone to intercept him. Not only did you get the twenty tooth soldiers in your family, but you also turned the grudge into a dead revenge."

"The mortal hatred is irreconcilable. One party must fall down to be the end. But now you see, does Guo Ziyi seem to be able to fall down? He hid far away in Shandong and has become the county magistrate."

The young man was scolded so much that he felt very wronged, but he couldn't help but defend himself: "It's just a county magistrate. Even a dog may not look at him directly in Chang'an City. Father, you are the prime minister, how can you be afraid of such a small person..."

Li Linfu was furious and sweared directly, roaring: "Don't you go fart? Can you use your brain?"

"He can be the county magistrate today and the governor tomorrow, especially when he hides in a remote place, slowly develops away from the court, step by step, step by step. When he gathers certain strength, he will be the tenth vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Linfu roared for more than a dozen times, but found that all the sons were indifferent. Obviously, they did not listen to the counselors and still thought that the Li family was as stable as Mount Tai.

"God, what kind of evil did I, Li Linfu, have committed in my previous life?"

The prime minister sighed and suddenly picked up the letter on the table.

He stopped roaring, and his tone turned into slaughter.

He threw the letter at his sons and said slowly: "Look at what Guo Ziyi is doing. He just became the county magistrate and immediately gave land to the whole county. That was 120,000 acres of land, but he released them all without hesitation."

"Do you know what this means? This is the equal-field system during the Zhenguan period."

"Once this system repeats itself, the first thing that brings people's hearts is the most simple since ancient times, and they will work hard for anyone who wants them to have enough food."

When Li Linfu said this, he subconsciously looked up at the sky and murmured: "It's scary, I feel like my whole body is trembling."

"Why is the Tang army so capable of fighting during the Zhenguan period? It is because of the government military system developed based on the equal-field system."

"The soldiers in the palace, the people who eat a lot are soldiers."

"And the entire Lanling County has 1,300 households, with a population of more than 6,000, and the strong men will get at least 2,000. Once these strong men are full of food, they will be Guo Ziyi's soldiers when they pick up their weapons."

"A county can do this, and a county can do this too. He can turn the people of Lanling County into soldiers today, and tomorrow he can turn the people of Langya County into soldiers."

Li Linfu's face gradually pale, his tone was obviously frightened, and he suddenly murmured: "This is a very obvious road to the rise of the vassal states."

"I can't stop it anymore, I feel I can't stop it anymore. But he hid in Shandong, hiding under the protection of Li Boran. Even if I want to take action, it's beyond my reach."

I have to say that the prime minister Li Linfu is still wise.

The sweet-mouthed sword in history refers to this traitor. Who is not extremely wise in a person who can become a traitor?

This person has already inferred Guo Ziyi's future achievements from just one small move by Guo Ziyi.

Unfortunately, the descendants of the Li family disagreed and said, "Since this Guo Ziyi is threatening, then try to kill him."

"He is not easy to deal with hiding in Shandong. Can he find a way to trick him into Chang'an."

"When the tiger enters the cage, will it be slaughtered?"

The Li family seemed to be a little smart, and they all had their own ideas when it comes to conspiracies.

However, Li Linfu frowned and hesitated: "If I could deceive Chang'an, I could do it naturally, but Guo Ziyi would not be fooled no matter how stupid Guo Ziyi was. This person finally escaped, how could he run back and die..."

Several sons laughed and said proudly: "Father, have you forgotten? Your Majesty wants to make Lantern Festival."

"Lantern Festival?"

Li Linfu was stunned at first, then a shiny light flashed in his eyes.

A young man laughed and said, "The Concubine Yang in the palace is happy and will give birth at the end of the year. His Majesty promised to hold a grand Lantern Festival because of her pampering. The court has already made a charter in the court, and then all officials in the world will come to Chang'an to congratulate her..."

"Guo Ziyi is now a county magistrate and is also an official who needs congratulations. If he refuses to come to Chang'an, it is a violation of His Majesty's holy will."

Li Linfu's eyes were even more brilliant, and he was obviously thinking a lot in his mind, and he pondered: "Only a Lantern Festival alone is not enough, because at that time, officials from all over the world gathered in Chang'an. Even if I am powerful, I would not dare to take action on that occasion, so I must think of a better way."

The young man just now laughed again and said proudly: "Martial Arts, Father, you forgot about the martial arts. The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was divided into two subjects: civil and military. Literature tests knowledge, and martial arts tests archery and horse tests. However, since ancient times, swords and guns are not eye-catching, and people often die during the competition."

Li Linfu was very surprised and felt that this son had been ignored by him.

Just do it!

When the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival lanterns are on, officials from all over the world gather in Chang'an, and then they will take the opportunity to start a martial arts department and directly kill Guo Ziyi in the competition.

"This plan is very wonderful!"
Chapter completed!
