In the afternoon, the Woyang Office's Office's Office was crowded with people. The powerful children from all over the world were pricked up and listened to the King of Xiyang making a conversation. Although the King of Xiyang, who was sitting in the upper head, smiled kindly and looked full of spring breeze, no one of the listeners in the lower head dared to take it lightly.

For hundreds of years, the strong clan surnames in the two Huaihe Rivers have formed a set of survival rules under the background of the north-south struggle, that is, to be able to get along with each other. In order to ensure the continuation of the clan, a two-sided bet strategy was adopted to ensure that they can survive under the rule of the north-south courts.

No matter which court ruled in the south or north, the local tyrants must be good people. When the other army comes, they will "force" to provide some food and grass, and wait for the local ownership to change and be under the jurisdiction of another court, then they will be good people of the new court.

This set of rules is not easy to use now because some people ask them to choose sides, and clans who try to get along with each other and even stand on the opposite side will not end up well.

That person was King Xiyang, and the people present heard about what happened in Huaixi, and even knew it clearly. With the defeat of the Yuchi army, King Xiyang led a large army to station in Woyang, and no one dared to start the two ends of the rat.

At least I dare not do this on the surface.

The strong sects lived in the family with the fortress as the core. Their fortress was indestructible to the bandits, but for the official army with catapults, thunder and a large number of troops, it was only a matter of time before they could break through the fortress.

The King of Xiyang has proved with practical actions what the consequences of opposing him are, and only fools dare to fight against him. Therefore, no one dares to disagree with the requests made by the King of Xiyang, nor does anyone dare to disobey him.

After the opening remarks, Wang Yuwen of Xiyang first expressed his gratitude to the participants for "heart to the court and enthusiastically supporting the army", and then made a straightforward request.

One of the requirements is that the sect leader of each clan must send his legitimate son to Woyang to "assist in the handling of military affairs", which is to send his sons as a qualifier.

Requirement 2: Transfer food and grass to supply military supplies. This is to ask clans from all over the country to take out enough food and grass to reward the army, instead of "meaning".

As for how much food and grass is transported, each family has a "quorum". The participants thought that the Lion of the King of Xiyang would speak loudly, but after hearing the amount of food and grass they wanted to transport, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: the amount they wanted was still within the capacity of the clan.

In recent years, the two Huai River wars have been fought every year, and it is lies to say that clans in various places are not affected. Both the Sui army, the Zhou army, and the Chen army have controlled the two Huai River. As a result, the two Huai River lands have changed hands several times, and the burden on clans in various places is quite a lot.

The participants thought that the King of Xiyang and the Rebirth of Victory would forcefully take over this time, but now the food and supplies they want are not as much as everyone expected. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but worry.

They were worried that King Xiyang would have any more stringent requirements, but as expected, the third requirement came.

The King of Xiyang asked clans from all over the country to participate in "joint defense".

What is joint defense? That is, under the organization of local garrisons, clans from all over the country jointly cooperate to prevent the enemy from doing detailed operations. If necessary, they will send tribe members to assist the local garrisons to resist the foreign enemies, and guard against someone to be the internal response of the enemy.

All clans should stare at their own land and do not let the enemy invade in detail. If other clans find signs of colluding with foreign enemies, or if someone in the clan colludes with foreign enemies, they should report to the officials in time.

If you don't know, then forget it. If you don't report it, you will be judged as accomplice and you will bear the consequences at your own risk. If the report is prompt, there will be rewards. If you report another clan colludes with foreign enemies, after verification, the other clan will be wiped out and half of the clan's family will be returned to the reported clan.

Since joint defense is to be implemented, we must work together. Clans in various places must work hard. They must set up a "joint defense team" under the organization of local garrisons. They patrol key places every day and check for suspicious people. Once there is any problem, they must be immediately sent to the garrison office and deal with it by the garrison.

None of the participants dared to say "no" to the request of King Xiyang. After all, as long as they don't have that kind of idea, it's nothing to participate in joint defense. They just thought that they were very likely to be falsely accused, and that they could be verbally confiscated the family and exterminated the clan. Many people couldn't help but feel worried.

Even though King Xiyang did not have this idea, those who wanted to abandon the children of the side branches who were on the throne and those who wanted to acquire other clans might take this opportunity to make a profit.

No one dared to say this kind of worry, but Yuwen Wen was prepared for it and began to explain several principles of "joint defense".

First of all, joint defense does not implement "co-sitting" in this way, that is, once a person does a detailed work of the enemy, his uninformed neighbors or clans will not be dealt with because of co-sitting without conclusive evidence.

Similarly, if a clan colludes with foreign enemies, the uninformed clans in its neighboring areas will not be implicated without conclusive evidence.

This move is to avoid some people with ulterior motives who deliberately use "they will be convicted and implicated after being accused", and force their clans to participate in the rebellion.

Secondly, everything must be told about evidence. The official army (King of Xiyang) guarantees that in the absence of conclusive evidence, the suspect will be placed under house arrest at most and will not implicate others or clans because of this.

The most critical point is whether a person or clan colludes with the enemy will be made by the King of Xiyang. The person involved, the informant, witness and the clan leader of the clan will confront him in court, and other local clans can send people to listen.

The King of Xiyang said everything to this point. Even if the people present do not believe it, they had to convince themselves. The King of Xiyang's fourth requirement was more harsh than before: the official army would "borrow" from everyone.

According to the situation, each family must "lent" a certain amount of materials to the official army, and distribute copper coins ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 guan. Of course, if copper coins are the best, they are generally mainly cloth and grain.

The loan period is one year, and when it is returned, there will be interest, 10% of the interest.

Of course, loans must be borrowed. Because the Southeast Road march is organized in wartime, it will be disbanded when the war is over. In order to eliminate the concerns of the "creditors", the main body of the "debtors" is the Huangzhou General Administration Office.

King Yuwen of Xiyang was appointed as the marshal of the Southeast Road with his original official (Huangzhou General Manager). He had the right to make a loan decision, and the loan contract signed was valid and the successor must not refuse to recognize it.

Therefore, even if the Southeast Road marching organization was dissolved, the "debtor" of the Huangzhou General Administration Office still exists, so the creditors can feel at ease to lend to the official army, and this "loan" must be in place within five days.

After hearing this request, the participants did not dare to say anything or show any dissatisfaction. Although this so-called "borrow" still has interest when paying back, they felt that it was probably a loan or a return.

It must be the King of Xiyang who exploited clans from all over the country under the name of "borrowing", and did not say that they would not pay them back. When the maturity expired, they said, "The treasury is insufficient money and food, so I will talk about it later!"

However, thinking so, no one dares not to borrow, because it is obviously the King of Xiyang who wants to raise military funds. If anyone dares not borrow, Xiyang will probably "borrow" the head for use.

King Xiyang said a lot about lending. Since the other party said everything about this, who dared to shirk responsibility? Who dared to complain? Who dared to say the word "no"?

The fort and land are the foundation of the family, and the value cannot be calculated using money and silk. Now, spending more than 100,000 yuan of copper coins to protect the fort. The land is considered to be spent on money to eliminate disasters.

Yuwen Wen looked at the hall and said "nodding" and drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat. Of course, he would not really believe that the participants were convinced, but he didn't care. Since he made a guarantee in public, he would use practical actions to prove that what he said was true. It doesn't matter whether the other party believes it or not.
