Chapter 1006 Restoration and Conservation(2/2)
As long as the implementation of the new tax law is officially announced, the officials and people in the world who have suffered from heavy taxes for a long time will probably really have to "eat the pot of pulp to welcome the king's teacher, nothing else."
The impact of this matter is as great as the three-part agreement between Emperor Gaozu and the fathers of Guanzhong, and it will even shake the hearts of the people of Wei and Wu:
Tithe tax one and ten tax fifty-six, no tax and accumulated tax, land to the tiller and land occupied by aristocratic families, plus the common people under the rule of the emperor of the Han Dynasty had "enough food and clothing", which one would you choose?
Who would leave the good life behind and live the hard life exclusively?
What is the general trend?
This is called the general trend.
No matter how clever the conspiracy is, in the face of the overwhelming trend, it is nothing more than a mantis trying to control the situation.
Therefore, General Guan is not only not worried about the upcoming chaos in Hedong, he even has a little bit of expectation:
Those aristocratic families in Hedong had better be tougher-boned and serve as loyal ministers to the Wei thieves for a longer period of time. Wouldn't it be easier to clean them up in the future?
By then you will understand what it means that times have changed.
"The general is stupid and doesn't quite understand what the general is saying."
Shi Bao said with some fear.
Somehow, he felt his heart pounding, as if there was a force that was about to break through, but he couldn't find the direction.
It’s just that General Guan is no longer willing to reveal the Feng family’s family knowledge:
"It's okay if you don't understand. Just go down and figure it out slowly. By the way, have you written down all the people who are unwilling to cooperate?"
"I've written it down. I've written it down."
Although he was very curious about what was written in the small notebook in the general's hand, Shi Bao saw that General Guan did not want to say more, so he naturally did not dare to ask any more questions.
He also took out a small notebook from his arms.
"The last general has already written it down in his notebook."
General Guan nodded: "That's very good. Someone will settle this account with them in the future. You go down and count the grain and grass collected. We will set off immediately to Anyi."
Anyi is a county in Hedong, and it is also the largest farmland established by the Wei State in Hedong.
What is unexpected is that Anyi City, which was supposed to have no defenders, actually had its city gates tightly closed at this time, refusing to allow the Han army to enter the city.
It seems that Anyi's Diannong Zhonglang will be much tougher than Wenxi County's Nong Duwei.
Seeing this, Shi Bao couldn't help but be eager to try:
"General, why don't you let the last general lead the men to attack the city? Aren't the bandits in Hedong defeated by us in Guanjuejin Valley a long time ago?"
"The people who are currently defending the city are at most some local warriors. If we attack it, we may not be unable to do so."
General Guan put down the telescope in his hand and shook his head:
"No need. If he wants to defend the city, just let him do it. There is no need for us to waste our time here. There is plenty of food and grass everywhere, and there is no need to go into the city to collect it."
When people enter the city, can the food in the fields grow legs and run into the city?
Most of the land east of the river is open country and flat land, which is a suitable terrain for cavalry. As long as there is no shortage of food and grass, there is no need to worry about being cut off.
Therefore, there is no need to waste troops on siege.
As she said that, she looked at Shi Bao: "Do you know what to do?"
Shi Bao was gearing up: "General, don't worry, the general will understand!"
Even if all the wealthy households have fled to the city, can farmers still run to the city?
As long as the farmers were outside the city, Shi Bao believed that he could quickly raise food and grass.
"Go ahead."
"promise!"
General Guan, on the other hand, led his army and set up camp under Anyi City.
That night, the bodyguard came into the account and reported:
"General, Coach Han is back."
General Guan, who was looking through a small book, stood up quickly after hearing this and said: "Please come quickly!"
Soon, the tired Han Long entered the tent: "Meet the general."
"Mr. Han, you don't have to be like this."
General Guan, who had always been something people didn't dare to approach, actually showed no signs of losing his composure at this time. He took two steps forward, with a rare look of hope in his eyes, "That matter... How did Mr. Han inquire about it?"
Seeing General Guan's demeanor, Han Long couldn't help but sigh, and then said with shame:
"I am incompetent."
General Guan was startled.
After a while, the light in his eyes flickered and went out quietly.
Her eyes lowered, and her face returned to coldness and calmness.
He tried hard to adjust his breath, as if talking to himself or asking, and said in a somewhat astringent voice:
"Didn't you find out?"
"I did find the place the general mentioned, but when I went there, there was no one there."
"That's it..." There was an inaudible sigh in General Guan's tone, and his expression finally showed disappointment that he couldn't hide.
Seeing this, Han Long quickly comforted him and said:
"But according to my opinion, although the village is deserted, there are several families that seem to have moved away not long ago."
When General Guan heard this, he immediately raised his eyes again: "Huh? What does Mr. Han mean?"
"If my guess is correct, then the families in the village most likely moved away to avoid the war. After the war, maybe they will come back."
General Guan pursed his lips and finally exhaled:
"I understand. No matter what, I still have to thank you sir for this."
Han Long waved his hand:
"It's just a trip back and forth. Compared to the previous trip, I don't know how much easier it is."
I recall that starting from Yinshan Mountain, I killed Ke Bineng, captured him and returned him to the mud, acted as an internal response, and spread rumors. I don’t know how many great things he accomplished along the way.
I didn't expect that I would stumble over this matter, which would give this trip a black mark...
Thinking of this, Han Long couldn't help but said:
"General, don't worry. The rangers from Bingzhou have formed a martial arts alliance. Sooner or later, I will teach the rangers in this land east of the river how to act chivalrous and righteous."
"When the time comes, as long as we have access, it will be easier to inquire about the general's hometown."
"Mr. Han is interested."
After Han Long went out, General Guan turned to look at the map on the wall of the tent and murmured:
"Autumn has already entered, we have to find a way to end the battle in Guanzhong as soon as possible..."
"Someone's coming!"
"General!"
"Early tomorrow morning, we will immediately send out a scouting horse to find out where the Lord is as soon as possible."
"promise."
General Guan's fingers tapped lightly on the word "Pu Ban Jin", but his eyes fell on the location of Longmen Ferry.
"I don't know if Liu Hun has arrived in Pubanjin..."
