Chapter 114 The Squire Who Is Not Afraid to Kill
Yang Dong was not moved by Li Yan's words, and the government's words were not trustworthy.
"I can't believe you. You have to swear, otherwise we won't do it."
"Puchi... This fool is quite funny!"
The Hongniang was amused by Yang Dong's words. They swept all the way to Shaanxi. How imposing it was.
A little mountain king actually dared to let Li Yan swear, otherwise they would not do it.
You know, if Li Yan waved his hand, these hundreds of them would be killed immediately.
Li Yan likes Yang Dong's silly look more and more, and he wants to accept him.
So, Li Yan smiled and said:
"Okay, I, Li Yan, swear..."
"Li Yan? My God... don't have to swear, we surrender immediately, brothers kowtow to General Li Yan..."
Li Yangang issued his name, but before he could swear, Yang Dong and others all knelt in front of his horse.
The name of Li Yan and his wife is unknown now, and the army is pushing forward.
Wherever you go, you will be as unreasonable as a family to the people.
Yang Dong never expected that Li Yan would come to the door to the imperial examination in person.
Seeing Yang Dong and his brothers suddenly kneeling in front of the horse, Li Yan smiled and raised his hand:
"Everyone, get up quickly, don't be too polite. We will only kneel down when we see the emperor."
Yang Dong and others kowtowed a few times before getting up. Anyway, they worshipped Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan.
After Li Yan returned, Yan Yingyuan also returned to the military camp. This time he ordered more than 100,000 people to eliminate more than 5,000 disobedient bandits.
Seeing Yan Yingyuan, Yang Dong and others' eyes lit up again, they were people who were as famous as Li Yan.
Yan Yingyuan was decisive in killing, hated evil as enemies, and had powerful means.
In fact, in the minds of surrendering the rebels, his name was even more prominent than Li Yan.
As the emperor appointed the governor of Shaanxi, this is Li Yan's territory.
In order to implement the emperor's will, Li Yan's land reform was the first to start.
The fields are divided according to the population ratio, and the remaining fields are finally turned into farms.
Due to the decrease in population, there are more than 700 farms in Shaanxi.
Li Yan left behind 50,000 young people with good physical fitness and prepared to train them into the main force.
The others were all assigned to work on farms, and Yang Dong and others became the farm leaders.
Their family is all divided into fields and they have a good income on the farm. They are all so happy that they can't stop talking.
Those who choose not to have fields all become professional farm workers.
Because it is wartime now, soldiers still focus on war.
Once the whole country is pacified, some of them will go to the farm to work.
In order to restrict these people from working hard, and to avoid causing trouble.
Li Yan formulated a strict reward and punishment system for the farm and established a farm security team.
Yang Dong was appointed as the general manager of Shaanxi Farm, and Li Yan believes that Yang Dong can do it well.
After the fields are allocated and the farm is established, the next step is to cultivate.
Now seeds are not a problem, sweet potato corn potato seeds are then sent to various places and all are free.
These are all high-yield crops that Zhu Youjian exchanged from the system, and the growth cycle is half shorter than the original one.
Zhu Youjian gave away more than 5 million taels of silver just by exchanging the seeds of each crop. The good seeds are even less expensive.
Because almost all the gentry in Shaanxi have robbed the bandits, there has been no resistance to land reform.
However, the reforms in other places were not so smooth, and even the capital was facing resistance.
Tongzhou
Zhang Shigui and Li Sanfu are the biggest rich people here, with the land of their two families reaching 150,000 acres.
Of course, some were passed down from ancestors, but most were bought through forced purchases.
Because of the support of the officials in the court, no problems have occurred in the past few years.
People were starving to death at home, but their grain warehouse was full.
When the people need to fill their stomachs the most, the food in their shops has also increased.
Two days ago, someone from the government sent a notice to them to lower the price of grain and hand over illegal fields.
But they treated the government notices as if they were right, and they couldn't blame them for doing this before.
On that day, two old guys were gathering together to drink and discuss how to deal with the above notice.
"Brother Zhang, how do you plan to deal with those notices? We bought the land with money, so how can we hand over it?"
"Haha, Brother Li, this is not the first time this happens. I can easily get it by giving them some money tomorrow. What kind of storm can cause some mud legs."
A teahouse owner from Zhang Shigui came forward to fill their glasses and said with some concern:
"Master, you can't be careless either. I heard that this time is different from the past, but the emperor made the decision himself."
Looking at the twisting waist of the new Napo, Zhang Shigui couldn't help but reach out and pinched:
"Haha, don't worry about this. Land reform is doomed to fail. There are also commercial taxes. There are too many forces involved this time. Maybe it will happen. The emperor will fall into the water unexpectedly or other events. By then, no reform will exist..."
“Yes… come and drink…”
At this time, a servant hurried into the room:
"Master, there is an official sent to the door outside and said that I have something to see you."
"Official entrusted? Haha...how is it? It's like Cao Cao, who is here to ask for money, let them come in."
"Bang..."
Before the servant went out to greet him, the door was suddenly kicked open, and the two Jinyiwei then entered the room.
"You are Zhang Shigui and Li Sanfu, right?"
Zhang Shigui was very disdainful of the two Jinyiwei who broke in (he thought he was a county yamen runner)
"We are. As officials, you don't know any rules at all. If you want money, just say it."
The Jinyiwei ignored him at all and then took out a note:
"Zhang Shigui forced his daughter to rob the people, occupied the land, instructed his family to harm the villagers, and killed his colleagues to maliciously raise the food prices.
Li Sanfu, your crimes are almost the same as those of Zhang Shigui, you are guilty of these."
Both old people were shocked. These things were done secretly, how could they know?
As the old world, the two of them quickly calmed down:
"Officials, if you speak, you must leave the evidence. You can't slander people. Otherwise, if we write a letter, you will be dismissed from office..."
Two Jinyiwei suddenly pulled out the Xiuchun sword and put it on their necks:
"It's a pity that times have changed now, and your backend is hard to protect yourself."
"Puchi..."
"Ah... I killed someone..."
"Puchi..."
Before he finished speaking, the embroidered spring knife had already cut through the throats of the two squirees.
There is no need for evidence at all. All those who block the emperor's reform will die no matter what official position they have.
The woman screamed and wanted to escape. A sword flashed by and fell into a pool of blood.
"The person came and searched the house. The beautiful woman was sent to Yichun Building, and the others were sent to the farm to work as a hardworking worker."
