9. Why did Fang Zhen investigate?

Of course, Yun He's words still scared the ladies around him. No girl's family publicly discussed the war to plunder slaves!

Yunhe was also a little embarrassed.

At this time, Gao Yue was able to settle the situation. He said to the wife of the military generals and the Liezuo family on the topic of manpower: "Don't worry, in fact, the manpower in cotton fields is easy to solve,"

"Oh, I wish to listen to Da Yin's insight." Several ladies said with a smile.

Gao Yue then said, "At that the Xingyuan Prefecture will follow the order of the Holy Lord, and take the lead in the division of "Tianshi" and "Generals and Soldiers". Then the generals will be trained in specialized ways. Tianshi will be half an army and half a farmer. According to the ratio planned by the Duzhi Department of the imperial court, our Xingyuan Prefecture originally had 11,000 officials and 4,000 local troupes, but now it has been cancelled and all of them are classified as generals and soldiers. Tianshi. In addition, the Zhizhou County of this town has added Feng and Xing two states. This Yin also needs to be the Fengxingdu Tuan Training Envoy. The number of soldiers increased to 20,000 with the permission of the Holy Lord and the Duzhi Department (in fact, the number of soldiers Gao Yue originally reported to the court was 15,000, but now it has been added.

After five thousand, there were actually two thousand people who were still falsely registered)—that is, the generals only need eight thousand (actual amount of seven thousand), and this Yin was preparing to re-regulate, and the field soldiers were 12 thousand (actual amount of ten thousand). This Yin calculated that the military farms in Xingyuan Prefecture were mainly concentrated in three places, Shanheyan, Huangnihe, and Yangzhou Yuehe Valley, which was enough for 6,500 fields. Later, they mainly used troops to Xifan, so Xingzhou Luyang and Fengzhou Hechi became an important place, so this Yin was preparing to send the remaining 4,500 fields to these two states, mainly wheat cotton cotex.

"Where did the added soldiers come from?" Yunhe asked his brother-in-law curiously.

"There are four or five thousand troops added, and one thousand will be recruited from the five prefectures under our jurisdiction. The rest are also very simple. Just let the ships or schools that go back to the business, bring the paper letters from my Xingyuan Mansion and recruit them from various places."

Gao Yue was very confident in this because the Tang Dynasty at that time no longer had the personal control over the people as early as it was. Why did he say so?

Because the two tax laws have replaced the collapsed rent and mediocre repercussions.

Under the renting and mediocre system, taxes, labor, and military service are all implemented on individuals;

As for the two tax law, the court and local governments adopted the tax sharing method. To put it bluntly, the court does not care who is in charge of this state or county, nor who is planting this field. As long as you impose the tax you have on the court's "gift" tax that you have to deal with - yes, this means that the central court's personal control over the people is collapsing. Once this is loose, the people at least have the "freedom" to choose the way to be exploited. I can farm, I can do business, and I can work. Of course, when these roads are not working, I can still join the army.

The freedom to be a soldier will inevitably bring freedom to be a soldier. The value is: whoever pays the salary will be given, and whoever makes me hungry will be cut off.

If the emperor does not give a reward, we will threaten the governor to attack the emperor;

If the Jiedushi does not pay food and pay, we will make trouble, kill the Jiedushi, and support one more (or one sent by the court).

Therefore, the root of the problem in Fangzhen in the Tang Dynasty is not the Jiedushi, but the group of "free" soldiers, soldiers who work as a profession for serving in the army and eating food, soldiers with weak perception of the central and imperial power, and soldiers who kill Jiedushi who play like playing.

Why did Fang Towns such as Heshuo, Ziqing and Huaixi have been able to have a long-term separatist rule? It is because these soldiers have become a climate and formed a rebellious local force group. The imperial court could not reverse this situation at the root by relying on the "changing soup but not changing medicine" counter-rebellion war alone.

However, Gao Yue wanted to take advantage of this "freedom". "I Yin added dozens of military academies in the mansion to ask for a registration, but in fact he supervised the goods to various towns to return to trade, and brought the paper letters of recruitment. After the goods were sold, the ship returned with the recruited soldiers."

This is the glorious "army dealer" of Xingyuan Prefecture, no, it is the "military transportation" work. Gao Yue also told the military academies who went out to go back to business that if a famine occurs in a certain place, they should be given priority to go there, so that the price of the troops recruited will definitely be cheaper than usual.

Gao Yue not only wanted to be a "army dealer", but also a "merchant dealer", a "craftsman" and a "farmer dealer": merchants, farmers, and craftsmen from other places could be recruited and gathered to live in Xingyuan Mansion.

The great 21st century is wrong. What is the most important thing in the coming ninth century? Of course, it is a talented person with a skill! Soldiers, farmers, merchants and workers have all come to Xingyuan Mansion, which not only creates better wealth for them, but also increases the tax base for cutting leeks. Just like the current battle for college graduates in various cities, the essence is to attract more high-quality talents to settle down (this article is deleted)!

"Now!" Hearing Da Yin's promise, several ladies who were eager to grow cotton and developed immediately smiled.

Yun Shao had a few stumbles, then approached Gao Yue and asked a question quietly, "That Qingqing..."

"A Ni asked this question well. My ladies. Some people may ask, if the field workers grow cotton, how should our Xingyuan Mansion coordinate? My Yin's method was to set up a village in Fengxing and then take the supervisor to manage it. Everyone raised money to join the supervisor, purchase a cart, pedicle, spinning wheel, loom, and a set of cotton planting fields for every five households. In this way, the cotton ginning, wiping, and weaving belong to them. Then my Yin can promise to use cotton instead of the tuition, and the cotton cloth outside the tuition can also be handed over to the supervisor, and then the Xingyuan Mansion House will purchase and sell on behalf of others. Everyone will continue to divide the profits. Isn't it beautiful for officials, soldiers and civilians to do three things?"

Everyone was very happy and said that Dayin's method was very good. From then on, not only cotton cloth, Brassica, bamboo paper, herbs, iron tools, etc. could be set up to be under the jurisdiction of the supervisor.

After nightfall, the yard of the official residence of the Dayin of Xingyuan Prefecture was quiet. Gao Yue had just finished his late meal in the kitchen. Zhihui, who had recovered from her postpartum body, was busy busying her heart again, "Where is your mistress?"

"I'm busy spinning cotton yarn with Jing'er!"

"Oh, the gift I gave to A Ni was not the one who drove the car and pedicle. I wanted to hand over all the affairs of the Makan Cotton Field to A Ni to take care of."

"Third brother, why do you care about this? You give her the car, pedicle and spinning wheel. She is not for anything else, but because these things were given to her by the third brother!"

Hearing this, Gao Yue was filled with mixed feelings. He put the food dagger on the plate with guilt and fell silent.

Zhihui seemed to realize what she said, which stimulated Gao Yue, so she stretched out her slender hand from behind and put it on Gao Yue's shoulder.

"I'm afraid that I will not be able to survive the princess's hurdle in the future." Gao Yue expressed his thoughts to Zhihui.

"Third brother, you really have a lot of housework. Even Zhihui has worked hard..." Zhihui quietly leaned on Gao Yue's back.

"Are you going to become the one you once hated the most?" Gao Yue said with some worries, and then he asked Zhihui, "Have the Nishi Temple on Hetengya succeeded?"

"As you succeed, according to your instructions, I gave Nishi Cixi, the head of the Nishi Temple, 100 stagnant of money and 80 stone rice. She was so happy and worked so hard. The mother of the little aunt, Lu, had already lived in the Nishi Temple and didn't want to return."
