Chapter 111: Deploying troops
Looking at the countless people in front of him who were out of the city to greet him, as a time traveler, Li Yang was in a thrilling mood and sighed a lot.
The reason why the Qin Dynasty was poor was that its military merits and titles were the most destined.
Although Qin Shihuang abolished the system of enfeoffment of princes after unifying the six kingdoms, except for the marquis, he only had salary and no fiefs, but after hundreds of years of war, especially the war to unify the six kingdoms, countless people have won military merits and titles.
For example, the lowest level of "Kings" in the Qin State's "Twenty-level Military Merit Title System" can only obtain the title of "Kings" by winning one enemy's armored soldiers, and also obtain one hectares of land, one room, and one servant.
And these military titles became the fatal burden of the Qin Dynasty.
They not only have land, houses, but also servants, and after pacifying the world, they also have salaries.
Therefore, since Qin unified the six kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of military meritorious titles have been eliminated and become the largest landlord class in Qin, raising national salary and exploiting the lower-level tenant farmers.
More importantly, these people no longer serve in the army. It can be said that a large part of the taxes of Qin State were to support the upstart landlord class with military merits.
In later generations, because of the strong national strength, it could afford millions of retired personnel in the system, which still caused a huge deficit in social security. Moreover, the Qin State in this era was even more difficult.
Especially for a marquis like himself, he directly taxed the territory of a county and became private property.
It can be said that after Qin unified the six kingdoms, the people were poor and the country was poor. On the contrary, hundreds of thousands of upstarts who had won military merits and titles, and the old Qin gentry and nobles in the past, lived a free and easy life and extremely wealthy life.
This is why the price of the Ba family-made liquor is also popular, because although the Qin State is poor, it is just because the wealth of a country has been fully in the hands of these new nobles and old gentry.
Li Yang knew that if Qin State wanted to become truly powerful, it would not be possible to rely solely on light labor. He also needed to fight against landlords, divide the land, change the current private land ownership system into a state public ownership system, and carry out the development route of land contracting.
Of course, it is impossible to act rashly at the moment because this involves the interests of the powerful and powerful. Once reform is easy, you may not know how you die, so you can only do it step by step.
In the past, the reforms of the establishment of public laws, abolishing even-subsiding and reducing labor service did not affect the interests of the powerful and nobles. Therefore, even if the Feng and Meng families wanted to suppress Li Yang, they would still support such a new policy, because such a new policy did not harm their interests at all.
It's really a long way to go!
Li Yang sighed in his heart, then suppressed his thoughts, turned around and smiled to Wang Youxian and others, and bowed to countless people: "Everyone, this time I led the troops to quell the chaos, and I have been disturbing me when I passed here!"
Everyone replied: "Marty Yang sent troops to quell the rebellion, our blessing!"
Li Yang was very happy.
Look, this is the people’s heart!
At this time, because of the implementation of project bidding, for these people who were hungry, their hearts were all towards Qin and hope for peace in the world.
If project bidding is not implemented and they have no way to survive, it is probably not the case for the people.
There is a person whose excitement is not smaller than Li Yang at all, so he is naturally Han Xin.
This is Huaiyin, his hometown.
When he left, he was coldly looked down upon and despised, and even bullied by a pork-selling gangster, which made him feel humiliated. Now, he followed the Prime Minister and became the general who quelled the rebellion this time.
Even though there were only five hundred soldiers, he still felt uncontrollable excitement and pride in his heart to be able to return to his hometown in this way.
At this time, Wang Youxian took a few steps forward and came to Li Yang, and said with a smile: "My lord has worked hard all the way. The subsequent army barracks, if you want to set them up in the city or outside the city, you can order someone to arrange them."
Li Yang said loudly: "This time I entered the city just for a short rest and would not stay for a long time. The 30,000 cavalry are still in the rear and take direct access to Pei County, so I don't have to bother Wang County."
When Li Yang talks about lies, he is also passionate and exciting.
Of course, this lie was also agreed upon with Han Xin early in the morning.
There is no way, now there are inevitably thieves, and there are only 500 people. If the thief knows his true feelings, he will really not be able to do anything.
When everyone heard about the quelling of the rebellion, 30,000 cavalry came, and everyone was excited.
Wang Youxian nodded: "Oh, since sir, I have made arrangements, so I won't ask more questions. sir, let's go to the city with sir!"
At this moment, the people consciously gave up a road and welcomed Li Yang into the city.
Li Yang took the Five Hundred Feather Forest and dismounted one after another, held the reins, and walked into Huaiyin City under the welcome of the people...
Just as he entered the city, sure enough, a local person recognized Han Xin at a glance, and everyone was shocked. A woman said to the old woman beside her: "Wang Po, look, isn't that man Han Xin? He...he has become a general!"
The old woman, when she saw Han Xin, was extremely excited and waved her hand and called out: "Han Xin, Han Xin, are you Han Xin..."
Han Xin heard the old lady's voice and turned around to look. He was stunned, and then he quickly jogged towards the old lady.
"Wang Po, it's me, it's faith!"
Han Xin came to Wang Po and held Wang Po's hand excitedly. Because of his excitement, his eyes became rosy.
Wang Po looked at the heroic and mighty general in front of him in disbelief, and said excitedly: "I have a promising future, and finally I have a promising future, haha."
Po Wang smiled very brightly, and her eyes were moist.
When Wang Po saw Han Xin’s despair, she asked Han Xin why he always read military books and did not work in farming?
Han Xin once said that his ambitions are in the world, not in the ground.
Only Wang Po in this world knows Han Xin’s ambitions. So, now that he can show his ambitions, he is really happy for him when he sees this kid really become a general.
"Wang Po, come, I will take you to the Prime Minister in our family."
As he said that, regardless of whether Wang Po would like to do it or not, he pulled her to Li Yang and introduced: "Sir, this is Grandma Wang who has helped me directly before. She is the benefactor of faith and the only relative of faith in this world."
Hearing this, Wang Po’s originally wet eyes could no longer hold back, and two lines of tears flowed out.
She didn't expect that Han Xin, who is now outstanding, would regard her small help that day as such a great kindness and a relative.
However, when Yang Hou was in front, Wang Po did not dare to lose his composure and quickly bowed: "Old woman, I have seen Yang Hou."
Li Yang quickly reached out and helped him up, and bowed deeply: "I have heard of my mother-in-law's kindness to Han Xin for a long time, and I admire him very much."
Han Xin said: "Sir, can I talk to my mother-in-law alone?"
Li Yang nodded: "Of course, you can send your mother-in-law home first. When you quell the rebellion and return to Xianyang, if your mother-in-law is willing, you might as well take her back to Xianyang with the army!"
Han Xin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord!"
Looking at the backs of Han Xin and Wang Po leaving, Li Yang smiled. It seemed that history’s evaluation of Han Xin was really correct. This person is indeed a person who will repay kindness.
Along the way, welcoming people were surrounded by the welcoming people.
Li Yang's young and handsome image also amazed countless people.
The achievements of the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Yang are known to all the people in the world. The Prime Minister who did all this is such a young man.
Of course, some young girls were even more moved when they saw Li Yang.
Countless girls were thinking in their hearts that it would be great if they could marry the Prime Minister as their wife and concubine!
However, they knew that this was an impossible delusion. If they were really lucky enough to be happy with the Prime Minister, they would probably be able to wake up in a laugh in their dreams.
After entering the city, the Huaiyin County Magistrate welcomed Li Yang and the Five Hundred Yulin Army.
After a little rest, he temporarily relieved the fatigue of marching for many days for many days. Then Li Yang claimed that he would meet with the 30,000 cavalry behind him and parted in a hurry.
However, when he left, he took Wang Youxian on the way.
After leaving Huaiyin County, he went straight to the garrison of Dongyang County.
