Chapter 356 It's Not Dangerous

"So... Liangzhou has been initially settled now?"

Guan Ping looked at Chang Diao with a silly smile in front of him and Pang De who was bowing to the ground with a solemn expression, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Their food and grass were in a hurry, but Pang De transported a large amount of food and grass, which greatly alleviated their urgent needs.

Most importantly, both Pang De and Cheng Gongying were here.

These two men have a huge reputation. Their surrender greatly improved the combat effectiveness of Guan Ping's troops, allowing him to let go of all his previous concerns and began to threaten the wealthy families to hand over more land and food.

Throughout the dynasties, the court that had more official fields had gained absolute advantages. The land annexation in Liangzhou was not too powerful under the influence of war. Guan Ping was just using this army to make some changes.

"Military farming?" Everyone was shocked and felt sad when they heard that Guan Ping wanted to military farming.

The military farming is one of the tyranny characteristics of Cao's army. Most of them know Yunshan's identity and know that Yunshan has always been quite disgusted with it. Unexpectedly, Yunshan takes the initiative to do such things again.

Is the next step to collect widows?

Guan Ping smiled bitterly:

"Where have you thought about? There have been military farming in all dynasties, but it was made unsatisfactory by Cao Gong, which caused the public to be resentful. Giving land to the people is a benevolent government, so why bother like this?

These lands are still owned by the court, and are granted to the people to farm and pay taxes and labor service. This can reduce the sale of land and take good land into their own hands. Only a few people in Liangzhou have planted them for us, and few people will give them land to those rich races. If they want to incite the Qiang and Hu to make chaos, there must be people."

"No one farms for them, their power will naturally weaken. With land, I think the Qiang people will not continue to rebel. In the future, they will gradually accept everything about the Han Dynasty and become the people of the Han Dynasty. In a few decades, Liangzhou will be pacified, so we will not have to fight here."

All contradictions are contradictions between people and land.

There are not many people on the land in Liangzhou, but the land here is not as good as the Central Plains. The crop yield is not high and cannot carry too much population. The Qiang and Hu rebelled many times, which ultimately is because they cannot meet the problem of a large number of people eating.

Farming is not the best method in the long term, but it is the most effective method in the short term.

There are only so many people anyway. If the people hidden by these wealthy families are willing to plant official fields, Guan Ping would not believe that anyone would dare to capture them back.

In the era when there were no large-scale machinery and equipment, even if the wealthy families owned a large amount of land, they would abandon the wasteland if they could not plant it. At that time, Guan Ping could gradually receive it in his own hands in the name of reclaiming wasteland. If they could figure out how to cooperate with Guan Ping early, they would avoid their own weakness.

Pang De thought that this idea was very good, but he was just a defeated general. His soldiers were considered a group of prisoners and surrendered soldiers. I'm afraid there would be no such good opportunity to get such benefits.

"General Pang." Guan Pingdao.

"The sin will be." Ponder quickly saluted.

"You are familiar with the various places in Liangzhou, so you will leave all the matter of reclaiming land.

If someone refuses to accept the order and obstructs us from reclaiming wasteland, they will be killed.

Well, in the previous Xingguo War, Agui had been destroyed. The soldiers under the command of the military commander Chang worked hard and made great contributions. The land of Xingguo was reclaimed by the military commander Chang. However, the military commander Chang was afraid that he would not want to live in Xingguo for a long time. General Pang was worried about the reclaiming of fertile land here, so General Pang was worried. During the output and tax payment, I would like to share the tax to the military commander Chang, so you don’t have to pay it again.”

"As for corvee service... Liangzhou has just been pacified, and it is necessary to reduce taxes and reclaim wasteland, which is a major event, enough to cover corvee service. These places... Uh, General Pang, what's wrong with you?"

Pang De stared at Guan Ping blankly, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Why is joining the army?

Of course it is not because Pound likes to kill, nor because Pound has great ambitions.

He first joined the army just to make a living.

Not only him, but 99% of the Liangzhou army were all trying to have a meal.

The local wealthy families and a large number of Qiang and Di tribes occupied the best land. Before that, officials from the Han court were all improper, resulting in the destruction of the two prefectures of Yongliang and the lives of the people were in vain.

Beigong Boyu did indeed revolt at the beginning, and he really wanted to bring the people to fight for the world, eat and not starve to death, so that he could sweep Yongliang in an instant.

As for his brain operation later, it was a common mistake made by the rebel leader who had no overall view, and he couldn't be blamed completely.

If you plunder, you will be rich and prosperous. If you plunder, you will be free from food and drink. Now it has become a consensus among the people of Liangzhou. They dare not attack the local wealthy families, so they simply seek to plunder in Guanzhong and other places under the leadership of Han Sui and others.

If they could be given enough land to cultivate, the court could provide timely relief to the disaster in the year of major disasters so that the people could survive, plus the trade on the Silk Road...

Then whoever rebels is sick.

Pound sighed hoarsely, then bowed to the ground:

"Thank you, General, for my son-in-law from Liangzhou, I thank the general for your great kindness!"

The preliminary design has been finalized. Now Pang De should play the black-faced man, surrounding the rich and demanding food and grass to help the army. Pang De said he would take the initiative, and Guan Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he thought of another question.

"Mr. Chang?"

“Hmm?”

"How did you say so much food come from?"

"I sent it?" Chang Diao said foolishly.

He said that he hadn't kept up with the rhythm at all. He was still immersed in the joy of surviving the disaster. Chang Diao had thought before that he was walking in front of the entire army. If something happened to the army, it would be safer for him to flee to Jincheng to meet with Yunshan.

The troops in the back team tried hard to persuade him and refused to listen. They were worried all the way. After rushing to Jincheng, they found that it was as calm as expected by Military Advisor Chang. Then they all sighed that Military Advisor Chang was as expected by God, and indeed, it was not something that ordinary people could compare with.

This greatly improved Chang Diao's prestige, further destroying Chang Diao's retirement plan, making him feel stomachache now.

Guan Ping knew Chang Diao's idea, and he was unwilling to stay in the bitter and cold place of Liangzhou. Guan Ping was preparing to finish all this before and just put up a memorial to criticize Chang Diao's incompetence and strive to dismiss Chang Diao.

But Chang Diao made too much contribution this time, and it can even be said that he was embarrassed to make trouble for Chang Diao, so he could only skip this matter for the time being and humbly ask Chang Diao if he knew the origin of the food and grass.

But all the information of Chang Diao, the school commander, was controlled by Lu Hong. Of course, he didn't know anything about Lu Hong, so he could only answer casually:

"Maybe Ma Chao and Zhang Lu's dog bite the dog, and maybe they came back after cutting some food and grass from Zhang Lu."

Yang Qiu sneered:

"How is this possible? If Ma Chao had the ability to steal Zhang Lu's military rations, Zhang Lu would definitely come to seek revenge. If he left Hanzhong, how could he dare to go back?"

When Zhuge Qian and Hao Zhao heard that Yang Qiu was so disrespectful to Chang Diao, they all looked angry, and Lu Hong even sneered:

"What does General Yang think? Can you still understand military information better than General Chang?"

Yang Qiu rolled his eyes and said whatever you want.

Guan Ping smiled and said:

"Don't hurt the harmony. Of course, I believe what Military Advisor Chang said. If it is true that Military Advisor Chang said, I would be quite happy.

Speaking of which, I was going to attack Hanzhong at the beginning, but unexpectedly, Ma Chao and Han were in chaos, so I came to Guanzhong and now I am here again.

Now that Yongliang is in its prime, Hanzhong has been alone, and Ma Chao is still there. I am going to report to the court to attack Hanzhong. I can ask Military Advisor Chang to plan at that time."

The generals nodded one after another and said:

"A mere Hanzhong, with the joint efforts of military commander Chang and General Yun, we can naturally break through it every night. Zhang Lu has countless grains. We will run to Hanzhong and will definitely win a great victory!"

Chang Diao:...

I just said casually, if others take it seriously, you can just take it seriously?

Can you go back? Yongliang has already pacified and he still has to fight Hanzhong. It is impossible to fight Liu Bei after Hanzhong, right?

Are you Guan Ping?

After complaining inwardly, Chang Diao was helpless. Seeing that the crowd was excited, he could only make a fool of himself:

"Hmph, I guess where can I use General Yun to go in Hanzhong? My subordinate has not made any contributions this time, so I don't need General Yun to go, I can go by myself!"

Hao Zhao and others suddenly showed ecstasy on their faces.

Before, they always felt that Junjun Chang was too cautious and they had lost a lot of opportunities to make contributions. Unexpectedly, Junjun Chang was finally going to attack Hanzhong, and the opportunity to make contributions finally came!
