Chapter 434: Impact (7)

"Chief!" Zhu Wu stepped forward and reported panting: "It has been clearly counted. Except for four or five men in the seventh house of the Li family who collected accounts and live outside, they were all here!" He had not had time to rest after the battle, so he led two surrendered soldiers to count the corpses and prisoners to determine the results of the battle.

Zhou Hubiao nodded with satisfaction. Before setting off, Luo Renqiong had an explanation to kill the "chicken" of the Li family to shock the "monkeys" in Taizhou. Since he wanted to do something, he simply did it clean. He stood up and said in a deep voice: "The order of Luo in Fengzhou to stay, the Li family was plotting against each other, and all the doors were beheaded." Speaking of this, he pulled out his waist knife with his backhand, walked into the courtyard, inserted it into the ground, and shouted: "A man is killed by the hilt of the knife, and the woman is in danger of being a slave."

Within two days after the Li family was destroyed, almost all the powerful men in Taizhou received a letter from the prefecture. The contents of the letter were similar, saying that there was an order for the left-behind state to be left. All the walls must be removed within two days, and the military weapons and armor must be handed over, and the legitimate sons were sent to Linhai City as the capital. Otherwise, the Li family would be the end of the rebels. Before sending the messenger, Hu Li used a trick. The messenger sent to each family did not set off at the same time, but based on the distance to the destination and the departure time was different. The farther the distance, the first departure was set, so that all the messengers arrived at the destination were roughly the same, and there was very little time left, so that the powerful men had no time to contact each other and adopted a consistent strategy. Therefore, after hearing that the Li family in Le'an was destroyed and the Zhou family in Ninghai defected to the government, many powerful men felt that the situation was hopeless and could not be re-established.

After contacting and collusion, the decision of the rest of the people was not known. If I dared to resist the orders of the government, the result would be that my family would face the army alone. Although there were only a few hundred soldiers in Linhai City, it was still very powerful for a single powerful family. So after a short period of consideration, most of the powerful people chose to obey the orders of the government in order to be on the safe side. Since they chose to obey the orders, the powerful people decided to act as quickly as possible and be attentive to win the favor of the government. Almost all the powerful people who obeyed the orders mobilized their families overnight to demolish the barriers and transport their weapons and armor to Linhai City. On the last day of the deadline, except for a few two or three families, the messengers who stayed on the supervision of the powerful people rushed back to report. The barriers had been demolished, and most of the soldiers had also been sent to Linhai City with the messengers.

Linhai City, after Luo Renqiong's business these days, there were finally more houses in the ruins of the former ruins, and there was also a two-entry courtyard on the ruins of the old governor's mansion. This courtyard looked pretty good from a distance, but when you looked closer, you found that the courtyard was almost all built of rammed adobe. Only the innermost houses were made of bricks and wood, which were very crude. It seemed that these bricks and wood were collected from the ruins, not newly fired and cut down. However, the outside of this simple courtyard was guarded by soldiers wearing armor and soldiers. This was the new Taizhou left-behind mansion and Luo Renqiong's accommodation.

"Mr. Hu really made a clever plan. He forced the powerful to remove the barriers by themselves without a single soldier and a single arrow. In this way, those powerful people would be like turtles without a shell. They were not allowed to be tricked by us. The lord's work on diving the fields and raising the people has finally gained a glimpse!" A loud laugh came from the house. Luo Renqiong, the one who spoke in Taizhou, said that his face was full of red light at this time, and he was really energetic. It turned out that in these days, the two twelve prefectures under Lu Fang, except for Huzhou, which was where Lu Fang started his family, the local tycoons either joined the Zhenhai Army Group in the situation of "righteous followers"; Suzhou bordered Huainan, in order to avoid instability, Lu Fang deliberately postponed the "divine fields and resources" and other states have begun to implement this matter. The achievements are both good and bad. Some prefectures have raised their troops to rebel and besiege the county town.

The worst even included capturing the county town and besieging the prefectures. Despite this, Lu Fang was still very determined in promoting the "Di Tian Gui Gu Renmin". On the one hand, he sent troops to reinforce the prefectures and counties with serious situations, while urging the prefectures with slow progress to catch up with the progress. It is necessary to complete the main work of the matter within the year. Taizhou's speed of implementation among the two prefectures is already at the forefront. Considering the strength of the local native strength and the weak strength in Luo Renqiong's hands, Luo Renqiong not only extinguished the rebellion in the bud, but also steadily promoted the "Di Tian Gui Gu Renmin" work. Lu Fang was very satisfied with this result, and also praised Luo Renqiong for two sentences at the end of the document. This was the first time in Luo Renqiong's memory. This made him not happy, and naturally praised Hu Li, who made suggestions for himself.

"I dare not, I won't dare, I'll be rewarded. You use your plan to conquer the Zhou family and destroy the Li family. Those powerful people are already scared. I'm just doing things because of people. I can't count them or count them!" Hu Li stroked his beard and said with a calm expression, but he had a bit of a fairy-like sensation. He is now over 50 years old. In ancient times, medical and health conditions were backward. He is already not far from death at this age. Several of his nephews in the clan have already gone to Hangzhou to serve in the army, and his nephew Hu Keji is also in Taizhou Prefecture.

The Chinese-Chinese thriving industry is full of prosperity. Seeing that after Lu Fang's "searching the fields and attracting the people" action, those powerful men who were once extremely glorious in Taizhou will inevitably be in a slump. What can be replaced are foreign forces represented by Zhenhaijun and the Hu family, the new and old forces that depend on Zhenhaijun, who can bring the Hu family, a young powerful man who was not ranked in Taizhou, to their current position. Hu Li is already very satisfied. What he thinks now is to be cautious in his words and actions, find ways to maintain his prosperity and maintain his current status.

Just as Hu Li was carefully slapping Luo Renqiong on flattery, someone outside reported that there was an important letter from Hangzhou. Luo Renqiong quickly ordered the messenger to come in. After comparing the seal, Luo Renqiong quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, Luo Renqiong lowered his head and pondered without saying a word. Hu Li, who was beside him, did not interrupt, but waved his hand to signal the rest of the house to go out first, leaving only himself and Luo Renqiong. After a while, Luo Renqiong looked up and asked, "Mr. Hu, do you know what the lord wrote in this letter?"

Huli replied: "It must be related to the matter of Nadutian Guiren."

Luo Renqiong nodded. It was not surprising that Hu Li could guess correctly. After all, Chen Yun, Luo Zhixiang and others dealt with ordinary internal affairs, so there was no need to bother Lu Fang, the general manager of the Jieshou. Nine out of ten letters written by Lu Fang during this period were related to the matter of "Du Tian Guiren". He handed the letter to Hu Li casually and said, "You can also read this letter!"

Hu Li hesitated for a moment, looked at Luo Renqiong's face, and reached out to take the letter. He looked at it carefully. As he read the process, the calm expression on his face gradually disappeared, and instead of the shocked peek. Before he finished reading it, Hu Li couldn't help but raise his head and sighed: "There is such a pattern in Lu Shuai's heart. Could it be that he is determined to be the world?"

Luo Renqiong nodded and sighed: "A family has followed Lu Shuai for many years. Although they have known that he is not an extraordinary person for a long time, they never expected that he would have such a situation. He must be inferior to others."

It turned out that in his heart, Lu Fang revealed some of the next steps after completing the "Di Tian Guiren". He first seized the core force of the two Zhejiangs with himself, that is, the Liufang soldiers and the personal army transformed from the semi-professional mutiny of the past military and farmers into a complete professional soldier; then he moved some of the Huzhou Yi, who had followed Lu Fang to defeat Hangzhou and had been loyal to the test of loyalty, from Huzhou to the key points of those unstable prefectures and counties, and at the same time moved the powerful people from these unstable prefectures and counties out of the local area to strengthen control over the prefectures and counties; thirdly, let the governors of each prefecture and county be promoted.

The state's strong and powerful people recommended him to train him as a backbone officer of the state and county soldiers. He farmed in daily life and thought he was righteous in wartime, and expanded his military source. All this is obviously a series of "Dutian and Resources" policy that Lu Fang had previously implemented. First, he strengthened his financial resources and human resources through "Dutian and Resources", and at the same time deprived local tyrants of the confrontation between the central government, and then used these financial resources and human resources to strengthen the existing basic force, so that it was completely professional and could have a higher mobilization rate; then strengthened the control of the states by mixing sand, and finally gave local tyrants.

The opportunity to advance to a strong official is to strengthen the military power while preventing those powerful people from surrendering to other forces because they have no chance. This series of policies is obviously not something that a person who only wants to defend the people of the land and security will adopt. If it can be effectively implemented, its effect will be very amazing. After all, in ancient China, the military and political strength of a dynasty was often determined by the number of households that the government could control. Most of the bearers of taxes and military service were them. High-ranking families with a lot of wealth and power often had ways to evade taxes and military service, so if a dynasty could do the best.

If the land and wealth can be distributed equally and the number and wealth of high-ranking families is limited, then this dynasty can maximize the human and material resources it has, and defeat it is similar to its strength, even far better than its enemy country. The result of the implementation of this policy by Lu Fang is that the households and the people who are dependent on it are the standing army, and the powerful and the dependent people are the soldiers of the prefectures and counties. In a short period of time, the essence of the entire society will be devoted to the army. In such a society, expansion is his only way out. Those who formulate such a policy will definitely not be satisfied with the governor of the Zhenhai Army.
