The two families of the fields and Lu occupy a large number of fields, mountains, forests and lakes to accommodate countless tenants and residents, but do not have to pay taxes or perform labor service. The private soldiers in their hands are thousands of private soldiers, and the forts of these two families are anxious and unable to move under their noses.

The fort barrier, or the fort barrier, the fort barrier, the dock barrier, and the dock barrier were generally called camps in later generations. The village was a local organization established under special historical conditions mainly with family as the core and blood ties as the bond.

It is both an economic organization and a self-defense organization and an autonomous organization. Because it needs to defend itself, it is necessary to build military facilities such as barriers. Whenever the grassroots organizations of the court in the war cannot operate normally to maintain social order, the grassroots society in the villages in the past was often replaced by special organizations such as the fort.

Once the fort is formed, it will take some effort to break up. If the world is determined, the court can use its strength to oppress the fortress lord to submit. However, the situation is unstable now, not many state officials have the energy and ability to deal with the fortress.

Yuwen Wen doesn't like this fort. The fortress owner can do anything for his own interests. To put it nicely, it's a cancer. To put it badly, it's a separatist. Bazhou's households are less than 20,000 yuan, which is considered a small state. The originally small population and fertile land are occupied by these forts, so there will be fewer resources left to the prefectures and counties.

In this era, the Yangtze River Basin was the three Wu zones in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (Wujun, Wuxing, Kuaiji) with high development. In the later generations, Hubei, where "Huguang is familiar and the world is full", many places in Hunan were not yet developed, and swamps were covered with severe floods. If you want to raise troops, you can only think of ways in the developed territory.

According to the five households raising one full-time soldier, Bazhou has only 3,000 full-time soldiers that can be raised by 15,000 households. Now Yuwen Wen brought 3,000 soldiers to Bazhou to take office and gradually has to "bear the profit and loss" to bear the expenses of raising soldiers. According to Bazhou's current ability to raise soldiers, it is barely capable, but if there is a flood, drought and other natural disasters, it will lead to insufficient food.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. He wants to raise soldiers, so those powerful people who occupy a lot of land and population resources will inevitably become thorns in their eyes. If they seize food from tigers, then he, the new governor, will be regarded as an enemy by the powerful people, and the conflict between the two sides will break out sooner or later.

"Ren Chief Secretary, my new army is behind. Why not visit the camp together?" Yuwen Wen said to Ren Chong. His new army was stationed in the eastern suburbs of Xiyang City and had passed by when they left the city and came to Bashui. He had just seen the strength of two powerful people, which made Yuwen Wen a little discouraged, so he wanted to cheer himself up now.

The new military camp was built when he came to Xiyang to check the scene at the beginning of this year. It was strongly supported by the Huangzhou General Administration, so the military camp was built with bricks and stone walls, with trenches outside and arrow towers behind the walls.

If the forts of Tian and Qi families are fortresses, then the military camp built by Yuwen Wen is a fortress, a fortress that protects Xiyang City. If it weren't for artillery, he would really want to build the military camp in the shape of a bastion.

The group came to the gate of the military camp. The soldiers guarding the gate were all covered in vigilance. Several people came forward to ask for the entry certificate and explain the purpose of the visit. They all recognized Yuwen Wen and his comrades who acted as guards, but still had to follow the procedures to inquire and send people to the head of the camp.
