At the end of December of the first year of Yongjia, the new military commander Youzhou and the army of Dai County were about to carry out a grand military exercise. At the same time, they also organized a large-scale competition for the entire army, allowing soldiers of each army to participate in the competition for bows, horses, fights, marches, etc., and gave generous rewards. As soon as this order was issued, although it was in the cold winter month, soldiers from all over the country still gathered in Jicheng, and their enthusiasm for participation was far greater than the most optimistic estimate before. It was only five days after the order was issued, for The camps built by this competition seemed cramped and had to expand out a little temporarily. Fortunately, there were wastelands around and there was no risk of occupying arable land. Xue Tong, Chen Jin, Liu Xia and other generals rushed to appease the commotion of the Dai County soldiers. They encouraged the elite troops of the Dai County soldiers who were responsible for the task of guarding the key passes and could not meet the prosperity of the Dai County soldiers. They also specially selected some of the soldiers from them to watch the ceremony in Jicheng as a commendation.

What was even more unexpected was that on the day of the competition, not only Jicheng, but also Changping, Guangyang and other places, many people came to watch with their families. In addition, there were 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers who joined the fun, surrounding the entire "Bird's Nest".

The best position is naturally left for the soldiers. On the slope of the stadium on all sides of the arena, crisscrossing lines were drawn with white gray to specify the locations of different departments. Some vendors wandered on the aisle marked between the troops and the troops, selling snacks to the soldiers with abundant hands. This move was actually inconsistent with the strict military rules, but now the New Year is approaching, everyone is in a good mood. The military government has repeatedly reiterated that it should be fun with the people, and the officers opened their eyes and closed their eyes, so that those vendors would make a fortune.

However, as various competition events progressed, one after another of the extraordinary warriors appeared to compete, even the vendors didn't care about their business and all focused on watching the exciting competition, and cheered one after another. Especially when the archery competition entered the top stage, the ten archery masters who entered the final competition attracted the attention of the audience.

Six of these ten people belong to Chen Jin, Liu Xia and Chen Pei, the three generals who are proficient in shooting skills, are all famous sharpshooters in the army. Chen Jin, Liu Xia and Chen Pei are both highly proud and never give in. The subordinates they brought out are the same style as the main general. Even if they don’t give up for the reward of General Pingbei, they have to fight for the reputation of their respective subordinates, and must overwhelm the opponent before they stop. The other four are warriors volunteered to participate in the competition in Youzhou Army. They are not unknown people, and when they appear, there are even many people on the viewing platform shouting and cheering.

Ten people made their mental competition, but each of them had all achieved perfection. Whether it was stepping, riding, or shooting left and right, the difference was only a slight difference, and it was difficult to decide the winner. It was not until the target was moved to two hundred steps in the end that it finally made a better comeback. The competition was extremely exciting, which made Lu Yao himself amazed. Therefore, when the reward was finally awarded, in addition to rewarding the top three winners, fulfilling the promise to Tian Tu, he also awarded a strong bow to each of the other seven people and promoted them to a first-level military position.

This generous move caused the audience to cheer like thunder. The huge waves of sound alarmed all the little beasts that were overwintering in the woods in the distance, causing them to flee to the mountains and fields farther away in panic. Lu Yao even felt jealous that even when he announced the start of the competition, he did not have such momentum.

The schoolyard was naturally lively and the outside was noisy. Although the size of the Bird's Nest Schoolyard was large, the stands inside the schoolyard were mainly used to accommodate the soldiers of the army to watch the ceremony, and it was impossible to accommodate all the audience. There were still many people who were excited to come to the schoolyard. Fortunately, they could also watch horse racing, heavy marching and other competitions held in another venue, and would not be bored. When a group of soldiers carrying bags on their shoulders, wearing heavy armor, and holding weapons ran for ten miles, crossing the finish line with flying dust, and then collapsed to the ground screaming, the people felt that the legendary ferocious warriors were not that scary, and many people couldn't help laughing.

In addition to the soldiers having competitions, games such as throwing pots are also arranged in several open spaces outside the field, such as throwing pots. If someone is confident and brave, he can also apply to compete with the soldiers on the spot. In the crowd, there are more than ten loud and verbal subordinates arranged by Fang Qinzhi in advance. They wore casual clothes and fought in the school grounds, what kind of wonderful means did someone use, and what rewards did they get after winning the championship, loudly promoted and exaggerated. When the crowd gathered, the high emotions were easily influenced by each other. In addition, Fang Qinzhi's subordinates consciously promoted the fire, so they became more and more jubilant.

The people of Youzhou were originally somewhat alienated from the Dai County Army. But after experiencing today's competition, we first knew that there were indeed warriors in the Dai County Army who were used to fighting, and after entering Youzhou, we would definitely be able to curb the troubles of the Hu tribe; secondly, we witnessed the fair competition between the soldiers in the two places and received promotions and rewards, which also eliminated many doubts.

More importantly, almost all the people heard that Lu Yao would award land to soldiers with excellent grades and allow the publicity of hiding farmers. Today is the time when this publicity becomes a reality in front of them. When land deeds were distributed to the victorious soldiers in a precious place, the people looked at each other, only seeing each other's red faces, and felt that there was an restless monkey jumping up and down in their hearts.

Whether in prosperous or chaotic times, the people are always the hardest. These farmers have worked hard for generations, and their income has fallen into the hands of prominent families. They can only live with leftovers and barely starve to death. As the situation of the Jin Dynasty becomes increasingly corrupt, more and more self-cultivated farmers are forced by natural disasters and have to hijack their families under the rule of the high-ranking ancestors and rely on selling their labor to survive. If the master is dissatisfied, they can kill them at will, and they are not as good as pigs and dogs. Those who have not suffered the pain of annexation for the time being have become more and more difficult, and they feel deeply in danger. Under such circumstances, the General's Mansion of Pingbei gave them a brand new road, a road that seems to allow them to live a stable life!

Even if not every self-cultivated farmer is willing to become a family of soldiers, even if not every family has a daughter of appropriate age, at this moment, every citizen is looking forward to getting the help of General Pingbei, just like those soldiers who sweat and compete on the school ground, each of them is looking forward to getting the recognition of General Pingbei.

This situation is in line with the intention of the Youzhou Military Mansion, and the effect is even more obvious than imagined. General Pingbei did not make any confrontation at all. He just acted as the governor of the military power and rewarded the soldiers, which made the soldiers and the people yearn for it, and the situation of qualifying and politeness that the Youzhou tribes worked hard to maintain completely collapsed. All this stems from Lu Yao's firm grasp of the key to the problem, that is, the distribution of land.

Among the literati under Lu Yao, Shao Xu had a great talent in governance, and Zao Song was proficient in rituals and etiquette, but they all came from a noble family. They had been fed and fed well since childhood, and had little to suffer from displaced. They had no personal experience of the demands of the people at the bottom. Although Huang Yi and other officials and households were poor and humble, they were used to the officials' side of the people who treated the people like wolves and tigers. These people who were born and raised in this era, when they knew the vital interests of the people, were far inferior to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao had no experience in farming, but he knew the importance and temptation of land to the people better than anyone else. In the time and space he was familiar with, there were political groups that advocated that "the farmer had the land", promoted the "people's commune", or made a big fuss between "use" and "all". Each proposition was enough to attract the people's strength as the forefront, and to accumulate wealth as the first to be used, and he deserved to be a trendsetter for the times. The so-called great rejuvenation also benefited from this, which was really impressive. Lu Yao's actions today were just picking up the wisdom of the Red Dynasty.
