Chapter 214: Skull-shattering and split-brain effect
However, when Gao Baosheng's guard's attention was attracted by Nan Jiyun, Ye Chang began to move forward.
After all, Gao Baosheng was just a rich man. Although his guards were also powerful and brave men of Kong Wu, they were not good at protecting their master. Moreover, as soon as the battle occurred, they almost instinctively rushed forward.
Nan Jiyun flashed to the side, attracting them, making a smooth road between Ye Chang and Gao Baosheng
It was only five steps away, Ye Chang quickly walked forward, and at the same time, he pulled the buckle around his waist and the hilt of the sword hanging around his waist and came into his hand.
At this time, Gao Baosheng's attention turned from Nan Jiyun to Ye Chang. He saw Ye Chang swing the hilt of the sword in his hand. He was shocked and shouted loudly: "Help"
While shouting, he stepped back and pulled the Butler Gai over.
Ye Chang's hilt had swept down and hit Gao Baosheng's forehead hard.
Ye Chang's hilt was not thin iron or wood chips, but iron. In his hands, it was no different from an iron rod.
Butler Gai heard a click, which scared him to scream. Then he felt a hot face, and all the wet and salty things splashed into his mouth. When he turned his head to look, he saw that Gao Baosheng's forehead had been flattened and his whole body fell softly towards him.
Butler Gai shouted again, and with agility that was inconsistent with his fat body, he flew over and let Gao Baosheng's body fall to the ground.
"Gao Baosheng, a rebel who attempted to murder the Tang Dynasty officials, is dead. Who else wants to rebel?" Ye Chang shouted sternly.
The guards in the room were going to chase Nan Jiyun. At this time, they turned around in surprise and found that Gao Baosheng was really lying on the ground. Ye Chang stepped in front of his corpse and wiped the blood from the scabbard with his clothes. This scene made them stunned: Who knew that the young man who looked quite kind and gentle, turned into a murderer in a blink of an eye?
They have always focused on Nan Jiyun. Nan Jiyun is majestic and has the spirit of a warrior in every move, but they never thought that the young man over there was the real guy who killed people without blinking.
After losing their master, they didn't know what to do for a moment. Taking this opportunity, Nan Jiyun grabbed the knife from one of them and put his backhand on his neck.
"The one who abandons the blade will not be killed." Ye Chang said again: "If you want to die, just resist."
There is no problem with Gao Baosheng's guards helping him bully the village. They can even kill some of the vendors who are left alone, but they can handle this situation at present. They almost instinctively looked at Butler Gai. Beyond Gao Baosheng, the only one who can command them is Butler Gai.
Butler Gai ran fast and ran to the door in an instant. At this moment, his heart was broken and his mind was full of dizziness. Seeing the guards looking at him, he felt that they could not protect him, so he screamed and ran out of the door.
"Kill, kill"
His miserable shouts came from outside the door, causing the guards in the house to lose their fighting spirit and throw their weapons to the ground one by one.
Originally, there were only six guards in the house. Nan Jiyun and Ye Chang had weapons in their hands. When they really fought, they were no match for them. If they hadn't been able to see this, Ye Chang wouldn't dare to have a sudden attack and kill him.
"You guys, drag the corpse out," Ye Chang said to the guards: "Drag Gao Baosheng's corpse out for people outside to see."
The guards hesitated for a moment and went to drag the bodies. Nan Jiyun took the opportunity to pick up the weapons they threw down and divided them with a sword for Ye Chang. The two of them rushed out the door and heard an uproar when they arrived outside the door.
Dozens of men surrounded him, and Butler Gai shouted: "They killed Grandpa Gao, killed them, killed them."
But the butler Gai ran outside and saw that there were many people, and he was a little calmer, and he immediately thought about avenging Gao Baosheng.
However, there was another chaos in the crowd. A small group of people slashed at people like a ferocious person. They rushed out of the crowd and came to Ye Chang and Nan Jiyun. However, they were the Ye family members who were left at the door. They had all gone to the battlefield. They had already received Ye Chang's instructions. When the chaos was rising outside, they took the opportunity to suddenly come here to meet with Ye Chang.
Someone handed the bow and arrow to Nan Jiyun, with a bow in his hand. Nan Jiyun felt relieved and looked around and saw that Butler Gai was still urging everyone to surround him.
"You have many people, and you can reward you with one enemy... No, three stakes... five stakes... ten stakes"
Butler Gai kept holding the reward, looking at Ye Chang in horror. Ye Chang was attacking suddenly, and the shock of him being too great when he killed Gao Baosheng. Although he was huddling among the crowd and hiding behind everyone, he was afraid that Ye Chang would have some other means to rush over and kill him in one fell swoop.
Then he heard a buzzing sound, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Nan Jiyun lowering his bow coldly. He covered his mouth and made a shrill cry, then he leaned down and fell down.
Nan Jiyun hit the enemy with one arrow, and the people around him were even hesitant. At this moment, Ye Chang stepped on Gao Baosheng's corpse and shouted loudly: "The court has a order to carry out the equal land system in the capital. All males have twenty acres of permanent land."
"The court..."
"He is really an official?"
At this time, these men completely lost their backbone, but they were envoys from the Gao family for a long time, so that they did not disperse for a while. When they heard what Ye Chang said again, everyone was stunned.
The equal-field system had been in effect in the Tang Dynasty for decades. Although it was almost abandoned by the end of Kaiyuan, people from far away places did not have that much knowledge.
They only know that according to the previous order of the Tang Dynasty, each 18-year-old male has twenty acres of Yongye land that can be passed down through his descendants, and there are also many different kinds of land. Most of them are Gao family tenants, who work for the Gao family and rent the Gao family land, and they work hard every year, but they can only make a living.
Everyone hopes that the fields they have plowed can become their own fields.
"There is no free space in there... they all belong to the Gao family."
Someone couldn't help but speak, and Ye Chang sneered and kicked the body on his body: "Now I have free space... If you still want this free space to be truly divided, the Gao family... can't stay."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the men's eyes were lit.
But it was the master's family just now, and now they were embarrassed to let them fight each other, at least they couldn't turn around. Ye Chang sneered again: "What kind of kindness does the Gao family have with you? You worked hard to provide food and clothing. Even the housekeeper was wearing brocade and silk, but you were so poor that he was covered with patches. He had to feed the dogs. But you didn't eat enough to eat, because you were kind to Gao, but Gao drove you like a slave. Do you still want to be a slave to Gao? If Gao did not remove him, the court would divide the fields with you. Can you farm with peace of mind?"
Everyone was happy, and the fields were the foundation, especially in the town, which was mountainous and hilly, and a narrow peninsula. All the good land was occupied by the Gao family. Ye Chang promised to lay down fifty acres of land, enough for the family to eat and chew.
After a while, the list was registered and two were left, one was small, one was posted by Ye An and the other one was large. Those people were illiterate and followed the door of the Gao family and kept asking what was written on it and where was their name.
Nan Jiyun's heart was trembling. Ye Chang tied these people up.
Once the list of these people is announced, it means that there is no possibility of ease with the Gao family. Therefore, they will be the most hostile to the Gao family and support Ye Chang the most. Only when Ye Chang's rule in the capital is stable can their land be guaranteed.
"Don't just be happy and spread my words. All males, as long as they are eighteen years old, come here to register and build a book, and they can receive twenty acres of Yongye Field." Ye Chang said again: "We will build a book in the yard of the Gao family. You will greet everyone, regardless of distance. Today to tomorrow, two days, the registration will be completed, and the morning of the next day, we will take everyone to divide the field."
"Okay, okay" and there are also smart people. When everyone thought that they could all share the fields, it was not just that they offended the Gao family, so they went around to look for people. After a while, the people who came to hear the news surrounded the Gao family's door. Seeing the crowds outside, Nan Jiyun felt relieved.
These people came to recognize Ye Chang's rule over the capital, and then slowly captured people's hearts and made them get used to and support Ye Chang's rule.
The Gao family had paper and pens, and everyone found it. Then Ye Chang asked someone to line up a row of tables. He took Ye An and six others to sit behind the table and began to register the people here. Nan Jiyun picked out people from the people who tied up the Gao family, blocked the door together, and put them in one by one to register.
The people in the Gao family were tied aside. When a man who had been bullied walked by, he couldn't help but step forward and spit out, and kicked him boldly. The most painful of these people was the sinners who escaped from the Central Plains. Because they had nowhere to go, they could only act as hard work in the Gao family. They were also the most courageous. Later, Ye Chang had to stop them, otherwise the most rampant people in the Gao family would probably be beaten to death by them.
Ye Chang made secret notes on the names of these people. These people are free of worries. If they cannot be included in their own governance, it will inevitably become a hidden danger.
When the people who had slipped back arrived with a large group of people, there were hundreds of people registered with Ye Chang, name, hometown, age, address, and family population. This simple book seems to be nothing, but in fact, as more and more people are registered, Ye Chang is more happy.
When Xiao He entered Xianyang, why did he not take treasures and only take a map household registration, because these household registrations were the fundamental basis for governance. In order to obtain the land, these people did not dare to conceal their own situation and wrote down their own situation. In the future, taxes and corvee could be collected with this list.
