There was no need to think about the two armies entering Chengdu, of course Duan Liang was faster this time.
On the second day of the March, a thousand cavalry guard appeared in the northern suburbs of Chengdu.
Prime Minister Fan led hundreds of people out of the city to greet him.
Xu Yi, the chief of the army government of the corpse town, whipped the horse whip and said, "Six Dogs, bring your people into the city."
"As for the order." Tuoba Sigong pointed out more than 200 people and entered the north gate first.
"Get out!" There were only five or six soldiers at the city gate. Judging from their uniforms, they should be the heroic tribe, not the surrendered soldiers of Chengguo. Tuoba Sigong directly smashed them with a whip.
The man was beaten to the point where he screamed in terror, hurriedly avoided it, and then looked at Tuoba Sigong with an angry look.
Several people came down behind Sigong, with a burly figure and a fierce face.
They stepped forward, pushed and hit several soldiers aside with their big hands like palm fan.
Then stand next to the winch and stand with arms.
Another team of dozens of people dismounted, got off the team a little, then lined up in two rows, holding long and long swords, and headed towards the city tower along the steps.
There was a small school on the city tower, with more than ten soldiers. When Liang Bing came up, he was a little scared, then smiled and said, "General—"
The leader of the mansion team pointed outside the city and said, "Go outside."
The little school's face changed. After a moment of stalemate, seeing the eyes of the soldiers in the mansion became more and more dangerous, he finally took this breath and lined up to the top of the city.
The team leader carefully checked and made sure there were no hiding people in the city tower. After coming to the female wall, he made gestures to the outside world.
Xu Yi turned his head and looked at Fan Ben and said, "But Mr. Fan?"
Didn’t Fan Ben introduce his symptoms just now? However, he has experienced strong winds and waves, and his face remains unchanged.
He said: "That's right."
"The soldiers are all dispersed." Xu Yi said, "Prepare another 50,000 hu of grain and beans to wait for the army."
A little officer shouted at him, and the others were a little dissatisfied, but Fan Ben's face was not dissatisfied.
He said: "Okay."
Xu Yi nodded and called the remaining hundreds of people to enter the city.
"Prime Minister." Dr. Taichang Qiao Xianzhi came over and whispered: "Is Liang a man very polite——"
Fan Zi waved his hand and signaled him not to say anything more.
Liu Xuan looked at it funny and said, "Do you think the soldiers in the world are as docile as your family's corps?
"
Qiao Xianzhi was speechless.
Liu Xuan did not let him go, and smiled and said, "Send your servant to the border area, go back and forth between life and death, and come back five years later, and you will find that he is not so docile. After experiencing life and death, the soldiers under his command, who have countless lives, are so arrogant. They are afraid of military law, but they may not necessarily be afraid of you."
Qiao Xianzhi said angrily: "Don't you hear that arrogance will be defeated?"
"You have a proud soldier first. A group of field workers who had just put down their hoes thought that after practicing military formations during the slack season, they would be able to fight?" Liu Xuan sneered.
"Which side of you?" Qiao Xianzhi said angrily.
"Stop!" Fan Ben whispered, then turned around and looked at the staff behind him, and said, "Everyone will go back to their own houses first. If you have any questions, I will send someone to inform you."
"As for the order." Everyone saluted one after another, looked at each other, and left with their heads down.
The country is destroyed and the official is demoted, and this is the treatment, so what else does it mean?
On the plus side, the more arrogant and arrogant these lower-level soldiers were. If the general of Liang came, it might be easier to talk to them. Maybe they could be an official in the future.
However, some demoted officials and surrendered people sneered secretly.
Fan Xue and others do evil things, and I think they will be retribution.
It doesn't matter whether he can be an official, he just wants to see what Fan and others will end up.
*******
On the third day of the third month, Duan Liang personally led more than 2,000 cavalry to Chengdu.
He also did nothing, and he calmed down everything and waited for the main army of Julu County Prince.
When I entered the city, the streets were deserted and there was no one figure.
Duan Liang looked left and right, and the doors of the houses on both sides were closed, but he always felt that there was a look behind the door.
It may not be malicious, it may be more fear.
No one knows what the military discipline of the Liang people is. If the whole city is suddenly plundered, the people will suffer.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
Liang's army has a mature plundering system, mainly in the official treasury. If it is not enough, donations will be sent, which will be more efficient and reduce the troubles of the people.
Of course, it is definitely not enough to enjoy the "full fun", but the warriors dare not disobey the rules set by Emperor Shao.
There are few people complaining in private.
Duan Liang entered the palace city as soon as possible, then called Fan Ben, took the same car with him, and patrolled the whole city.
"Jiang just now, the army will report that there is very little grain in Taicang, only more than 100,000 hu of food, why is that?" Duan Liang asked at the gray-haired old man.
Fan Ben was silent for a moment and replied, "Hei ruled Shu for twenty-eight years, and was peaceful and had very little taxes. The male student was a year old and had three hu of grain, while the female student was relieved of five pounds, and half of the disease was sick. The household had no fixed number, but it was only a few feet long, and only a few 2, so the food was not abundant."
Duan Liang was a little shocked when he heard this. The tax was too low!
It’s okay to say that the grain tax is not much different from the Daliang Dynasty, and it may be slightly higher, but the household transfer is too few, only one-some of the Daliang.
"What do you think?" Duan Liang asked.
"For the people, fewer jobs and fewer taxes are available, which is a good thing, but no good for the country." Fan Ben said: "There is no order and no good for the government, so that the goods and bribes are carried out. The rules of the people are not different, and the order of the class is disordered. The military rewards are very few, and the captives are captured first. It is actually not a good rule."
This is another court that does not pay wages and pays to work.
Not only did officials not have any salary, they didn't even send official uniforms, so they let the court officials wear them casually, which was truly a feature of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
The army also has no military pay.
Well, this is normal. Even Shao thieves only recruit tens of thousands of troops. Most of them are troops without military pay, but they have no military pay and want to fight. They should not be too harsh on the looting.
"I won't talk nonsense to you." Duan Liang turned aggrieved after hearing this and said, "The Grand Governor arrives in Chengdu soon,
Such little food in Taicang is definitely not enough. Mr. Fan can send people to the surrounding counties to raise grain, and at least one million hu of them should be."
Fan Ben was frightened when he heard this.
If so many troops entered Chengdu, if they had been stationed for a few months, the consumption would not be a small amount. Moreover, they would probably ask for wine and meat, which was a big burden.
But Fan Xue didn't say anything, just said, "Yes."
"Why are there only a few thousand pieces of silk in the Zuozang warehouse?" Duan Liang asked again, "I was in Guanghan before, and I heard that there were more than 100,000 pieces of silk in the left and right warehouses. Where have they all gone? Could it be that you are waiting for the private division?"
Speaking of this, my face was a little bad.
Fan Ben said helplessly: "Before Li Xiong went to war, he admired all the three armies and swept the left and right treasuries."
"I don't care!" Duan Liang snorted coldly and said, "The boys traveled through mountains and rivers and fought hard for several months. The farming work at home was abandoned, and some people lost their equipment and even rode horses. You must reward them. Think of a solution."
Fan Ben's face became even more bitter.
Li Chengxun made a popular system, and there were left and right treasures. The left treasures are the national treasury, and the right treasures are the emperor's private treasury.
The two stocks are similar and are roughly divided into several categories, namely: brocade, silk, cloth, coins, gold and silver and variegated items.
As Duan Liang learned, there are only hundreds of pieces of brocade, thousands of pieces of silk, more than 20,000 pieces of cloth in the treasury, and very few pieces of money, gold, silver and other items.
The right is hidden in the palace, with a smaller number.
Li Xiong really has no desire to spend money.
The palace where he lived was only one hall, the Ri Taichu Palace, which was dilapidated and narrow, with more than a hundred houses. Many people advised him to expand it, but Li Xiong refused and said that he would talk about it when the treasury is more abundant in the future.
In this case, it is normal for the treasury to be poor.
But the Daliang Heavenly Warriors were dissatisfied. They wanted money and rewarded the soldiers who paid a huge price to fight.
What should I do if I have a pension?
Fan Ben sighed in his heart that the Daliang Dynasty was really unprofessional. The Cao Wei destroyed Shu Han and did not extort it like this.
But he couldn't refuse, so he bowed and said, "I can find a way, but I don't know how much silk is needed?"
"Money is 400,000, silk is 800,000 pieces, and cloth is 1.2 million pieces." Duan Liang said, "Let's have less brocade, just 20,000 pieces. This is what the soldiers offer to the emperor, so don't take it seriously."
Shao Xun said that after pacifying Shu, he would not take any money, but the soldiers must be ignorant.
Everyone gets money and silk for extortion from Shu people, and takes less local soldiers and more officers. Everyone has benefits, but they cannot forget the emperor. That will make it too difficult to be a human being for a whole day, but they must contribute.
Hearing Duan Liangshi speak loudly, Fan Ben almost closed his breath.
He didn't know if he could bargain, so he could only tempt: "The general didn't know that even if he turned over Shu, he couldn't get so many copper coins. There were some silk cloth, but two million pieces were too much. Li Cheng had to collect taxes for two years and could not get so much silk cloth."
"Li Cheng's taxes are low, and he still rewards them before the war." Duan Liang was furious and said, "Your Majesty wants to do it yourself, don't let me torture and help reward you."
Fan Ben stared at Duan Liang and found that he was not a joke. He sighed and said, "I do my best."
"I don't believe that more than 100,000 troops have entered Sichuan. I don't believe that someone wants money but doesn't have to live." Duan Liang snorted coldly and said.
Fan Zi didn't say anything.
"There are still one thing," Duan Liang said again: "There are six nobles in the city, and are there Li Cheng's royal family?"
"Of course there is." Fan Zi said.
"You draw a list and take your family to arrest people." Duan Liang said: "After you catch the person, the male person will be sent to prison, and the female family will be sent to the palace city to identify them one by one. Those who have no bad records can be released home, and those who are guilty will be sent to Luoyang, and the emperor will be sent to the emperor."
Fan Ben was numb.
This is to make him a villain, but what can I do? I have done everything that I betrayed the old master, is this still a shortage?
He could imagine what kind of people they were in the eyes of the military and civilians of the six counties after the Liang army was withdrawn in the future. I am afraid that the water and fire would be incompatible.
Shao Xun is really not a good person, he is very dark.
The carriage was walking slowly.
Fan Ben was worried and sighed silently. He suddenly regretted it. If he had known this, he would have done nothing at the beginning.
The Liang people were really arrogant and probably didn't worry about forcing the Shu people to rebel, and even vaguely hoped that they would rebel, especially the aristocratic families and powerful chiefs.
However, these are actually not important. What worried Fan the most was the status of the major tribes in Shu.
