Chapter 50 Bianjing!
Zhong Yi led his army to conquer cities and territory everywhere, took down important places such as Yanzhou, Haizhou, Daming and Xiangzhou, and issued notices to safeguard the people to stabilize the local order.
During this period, Zhong Yi ordered the heads of thousands of soldiers and generals to be cut off, because these soldiers and generals actually burned, killed and looted after the city was broken, and the army of Daxia could not allow such a thing to happen.
For a moment, the Daxia army was in a state of solemnity.
There is no way to do this, because although Ouyang Bian has strict requirements on the army, his expansion is too fast.
Now, in the Daxia army, there are only tens of thousands of real military disciplines. They are real professional soldiers, with a new type of army with strict training and faith.
Others are either the original Western Xia army reorganization or the Western army incorporated. The military disciplines of these armies are very ordinary. Although they have changed, the time is still a little short after all, and it is inevitable that such things will happen.
Zhong Yi used the heads of thousands of soldiers to establish a principle for the Xixia army, making the three armies solemn and establishing great confidence for the people in the newly occupied areas.
The people and officials in these areas quickly settled down, which contained a strict requirement for the army, as well as the contributions of Lu Huiqing, Cai Que, Xu Ying, Lu Qing and others.
During this period, Lu Huiqing, Cai Que, Xu Ying, Lu Qing and others were connected everywhere, constantly communicating and persuading surrender in their circle, especially the role of Jiayou's second-year Jinshi and the central bank officials was particularly huge.
Most of the Jinshis on Jiayou's second year list have already taken up middle and high-level positions, and most of them have already taken up positions as state officials or even court officials, and have a great influence. Although the central bank officials are not as good as the Jinshis on Jiayou's second year, their identities as technical officials are mostly in power positions in various prefectures and counties. When these people join forces, they will naturally stabilize the local area soon.
This is in the official position, and among the people, businessmen play a greater role. The original merchants of the Song Dynasty Chamber of Commerce stood up together to open the market under the call of Lu Caiwei, Jiang Rucheng, Yang Dechang, Lin Tong and others. The shops on the market opened the door to do business, which naturally gave people a sense of stability.
The three armies each performed their duties, Di Hu was preparing to finish the work, Zhong Yi maintained order on the newly occupied land, while Wang Shao was guarding against the Liao Kingdom.
Because Daxia's speed was too fast, it took only two months to drive the Song Dynasty to arrive. However, the Liao court had not discussed specific strategies yet, but Daxia had stabilized the situation.
At this time, it is time for the Liao Kingdom to think carefully about how to view the relationship between the two sides.
...
Bianjing.
Ouyang Bian was wearing a thick cloak and a thick snow. Although it was already February, it was still some time before spring.
Bianjing was much deserted than a few years ago. This was related to the post-war period and the Song Dynasty's market law. After more than a year of implementation of the market law, the commercial energy near the capital of the Jingji community was greatly damaged.
When Ouyang Bian entered Bianjing City, among the crowds of people coming to greet him, the representatives of the merchants burst into tears. When they saw Ouyang Bian, they were like seeing their relatives.
They felt so sad that the results of their efforts over twenty years were plundered by the court.
Ouyang Bian could only comfort him when he heard this, and promised that the Daxia business laws would also be implemented on the recovered land, and all the previous tyrants and miscellaneous taxes would be abolished, and only one value-added tax would be paid. The merchants were immediately happy.
Ouyang Bian simply gave a speech on Zhuque Street, mainly about the governance of newly recovered land.
"...Business tax is one aspect, and the rest of the governance is the same as other places in Daxia. Since it is under the jurisdiction of Daxia, there is no difference at all.
The land will be nationalized and the right to use will be granted to farmers. Everyone must have land to cultivate and rent national fields, without having to serve labor, and there will be no messy and harsh taxes. Farmers only need to pay a land tax, and the rest belong to farmers;
Whether it is a merchant or a farmer, you only need to pay the prescribed commercial tax or agricultural tax, and all other miscellaneous taxes will be abolished..."
Joyful applause suddenly sounded on the Zhuque Street.
The common people of the Song Dynasty were exploited by various tyrants and miscellaneous taxes for too long. Such a Feng Ya Song, who seemed to be extremely rich, was actually the only one who was rich in the upper class, while the people at the lower class were poor and even it was difficult to survive, mostly because of the heavy taxes for various tyrants and miscellaneous taxes.
If they pay taxes normally, they can actually live a pretty good life.
Ouyang Bian actually said a lot, such as the upcoming new round of large-scale infrastructure, popularizing six-year compulsory education, etc., but they are not as concerned about taxation, which is what really affects their income.
The capital of Daxia was determined to be Chang'an, but Ouyang Bian still came to Kaifeng. The sixth route in Shaanxi had basically stabilized. The area north of the Huai River had just been occupied, so he had to come and take charge in person. He had his same year and his former subordinates. If he came here in person, he could quickly stabilize such a large land.
In fact, the same is true. Anmin’s notice was quickly distributed and posted in various counties, mainly the contents of Ouyang Bian’s speech on Zhuque Street.
The central bank officials quickly took over the work of prefectures and counties, and the Central Army cooperated to clean up the land and quickly distributed the land to farmers.
This was Ouyang Bian's instructions. Only by quickly calming down the vast majority of farmers, even if there are dissidents, they will not cause any major storm.
Lixing Commercial Law made merchants the most staunch supporters of Ouyang Bian, and the rapid implementation of land distribution made farmers the support of Ouyang Bian. As for the landlords, those who could run away had already run away, and those who stayed were not as good as the weather. In particular, Ouyang Bian quickly captured the support of farmers. No one could incite these landlords, so they could only obey orders.
In the past, when Ouyang Bian was reforming in the Song Dynasty, they had representatives who made trouble in the court, and they were tangled up to fight against the reform. But now Ouyang Bian used force to drive away the Zhao Song court, and at this time they became honest.
In the past, they dared to push their heads because there were their people in the court, but now that they are all on their necks, they are of course as obedient as rabbits.
