Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.
Chapter 142: Leaving Southern Xinjiang to Arrange Back-up Plans
The three hundred young men in the hall became excited after hearing what King Zhenbei said.
Qi Liangye, the chief grain officer of Jinjiao County, knelt on one knee and said respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:
"King of Zhenbei! What should we grain officials do?"
Understand the King of Zhenbei's idea that the people are the way of heaven, and know the policies and guidelines that the King of Zhenbei will implement.
How to actually take action?
How can we ensure that all people have enough food to eat?
Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at his highness's food officials and said:
"All the good farmland in Yunzhou will be taken over and managed by the Yunzhou Zhenbei King's government. All the farmland in Yunzhou will no longer belong to anyone. From now on, no official, wealthy person, or gentry will own an inch of land in Yunzhou."
"The government has distributed all the good farmland to the people based on the number of people. The people only have the right to use the land and the right to cultivate it, but not the right to buy or sell it. The buying, selling and trading of farmland in Yunzhou is prohibited!"
In an era when imperial power was supreme, the people were completely at a disadvantage.
Their land would often be seized by officials and wealthy gentry within a few years.
The people of Yunzhou have very few acres of land left.
That's why there were three field armies, army commanders and deputy army commanders. They confiscated the property of county officials and seized 7.6 million dan of grain, 12 million taels of silver, and countless ancient calligraphy and paintings, such an astonishing amount of wealth.
Officials in Yunzhou complain to the court about natural disasters and locust plagues every year!
It should be a place where the imperial court allocates grain and money.
In fact, Yunzhou was the place where the land and farmland were most seriously annexed. Not only did the people have to bear the heavy burden of exorbitant taxes, but they also did not have much good farmland to cultivate.
Selling labor to grow food for the wealthy and powerful in Yunzhou meant that in the end there wasn't much food left to eat.
After hearing what King Zhenbei said, the three hundred grain officials were all shocked.
Qi Jinming, the grain chief of Qinglian County, bowed and said:
"King of Zhenbei! The dignitaries of Yunzhou are all retired ministers of the court of Dafeng State and hereditary dignitaries. How could they agree to hand over the fertile land in their hands?"
Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the grain chief Qi Jinming and said with a smile:
"Where are these people in the land affiliated to this king?"
"I am not a cold-blooded person who wants to kill all. Considering the situation in the officialdom of Dafeng State, even though they have done evil in Yunzhou, I will spare their lives!"
"The Qilin Guards will tell these people that they must leave Yunzhou within five days. If they disobey my orders, they will be killed without mercy!"
The land of Yunzhou must be completely under the control of Zhenbei King Hongxuan. It is absolutely impossible to let these people stay in Yunzhou.
"But Your Majesty! They will definitely resist! Maybe they will collude with the bandits in southern Xinjiang to cause chaos together!"
Food officer Qi Jinming said worriedly.
Not only was he worried, but other food officials were also worried.
After all, Yunzhou is geographically located on the border of southern Xinjiang.
Zhenbei King Hongxuan looked at the Qilin Guards.
The Qilin guard understood and said loudly:
“You Don’t Need to Worry!”
"This time, the Prince of Zhenbei led an army of 150,000 soldiers, killed 360,000 rebels in Yunzhou, and captured 80,000! This news will soon spread throughout Yunzhou and Dafeng State. The prince is worried that these powerful people will not make trouble, and there will be no excuse to get rid of them!"
"If these people don't open their eyes, the only consequence will be death!"
The three hundred young grain officials in the hall were all shocked after hearing what the Qilin Guards said!
King Zhenbei had been talking to them about how to love the people and how to ensure that the people of Yunzhou had enough food to eat and had good farmland to cultivate.
But they only now realized that King Zhenbei was a man who led thousands of troops and was decisive in killing.
A military god-like existence.
Fighting and warfare are what King Zhenben is best at.
Most of them were stunned and shocked when they heard for the first time that King Zhenbei had such a brilliant record.
Such a brilliant record of battle has swept across the entire Yunzhou. Who else dares to resist?
It is estimated that the order from King Zhenbei will arrive!
These people would be so frightened that they would flee overnight, and would never dare to collude with bandits to resist.
Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at the three hundred young food officials of His Majesty and said:
"All food officials must listen carefully to what I am going to say next. You must remember it in your heart!"
Zhenbei King Hongxuan paused for a moment, and his eyes turned to the three hundred young men under the hall.
Each of these young men listened attentively to what I, the king, was going to say next.
"We, the grain officials, will distribute all the fields to every citizen, based on the number of people. Every year, 50% of the grain grown by the people will be collected, 30% will be handed over to the Zhenbei King's government, and 20% will be the income of each of your county grain officials. The grain will be distributed by you officials!"
"For the people, apart from the 50% grain tax, no other taxes or levies will be levied!"
After hearing the order from King Zhenbei,
All the young people were once again extremely shocked.
These grain officials were originally from the common people.
Of course they knew what it meant to collect only 50% of the people’s food!
King Zhenbei also did not allow the collection of other exorbitant taxes.
Every one of them knew in their hearts that the Dafeng Kingdom exploited its people to the extreme. Often, 90% of the grain was taken out of the taxes, and most of the farmers did not have land to farm. Those who farmed not only had to pay taxes, but also had to pay other exorbitant levies and other levies waiting to be exploited.
This led to the people being displaced and not having enough food to eat.
But now it’s the order of King Zhenbei.
All the good land will be collected and become the property of the Zhenbei King's government, and then distributed equally to every citizen. This way every citizen will have land to farm, and only 50% of the grain grown by each citizen will be taken away, with no exorbitant taxes or levies.
How good is this policy? Every grain official was extremely excited after hearing this information.
The parents of these grain officials were all common people.
Before, they basically couldn't even get enough food to eat. The fertile land in their homes had long been seized by powerful nobles, so there was no fertile land left to grow crops.
Each of these three hundred young grain officials looked at King Zhenbei with heartfelt respect.
"The grain officials of each county will write the official list to me, and then you will return to your respective county and count the number of all the good farmland under your jurisdiction, and hand the count to me."
"Every county town is under the jurisdiction of the grain officer! We must not allow the people to become refugees, without food to eat and without land to farm! I will order the army to cooperate with your work!"
Three hundred young food officials said in unison:
"I will follow the orders of King Zhenbei!"
The grain officials of each county took the lead and wrote the list of officials and handed it over to King Zhenbei.
The grain officer left the hall with his subordinates and returned to the various county towns to complete the tasks assigned by the King of Zhenbei.
After I, the Northern King Hongxuan, have assigned the tasks, I no longer need to worry about the specific matters of each county city.
Hongxuan sent a message to Qilin Guards.
Let the Second Field Army commander Jiang Yichen and deputy commander Xu Jiamu take over the military defense of Yunzhou City.
As for the Third Field Army and the Fifth Field Army, King Hongxuan of Zhenbei planned to take them back to the capital of Dafeng Kingdom.
He had to bring the two Yunzhou rebel leaders, Li Haicheng and Zhang Fangliang, back to Kyoto to await the decision of Emperor Dingwen.
This time when he returns to Kyoto, he also has to ensure that the eldest prince Hongli is safe.
After all, the eldest prince Hong Li was rescued from the Yunzhou rebels by the King of Zhenbei, and now he has surrendered to the King of Zhenbei and become his man.
Who will inherit the throne of the Dafeng Kingdom in the future?
There is no doubt about this! The person who inherits the throne of Dafeng must be firmly controlled by the King of Zhenbei, and Hongli is a very good chess piece.
Yes, Hongli is born to be a good chess piece.
The King of Zhenbei was attacking cities and strongholds, occupying other territories and conquering other countries. Of course, he would not let the imperial power of Dafeng become an obstacle to his development.
The overall situation in Yunzhou has been settled, and both military and political power are in the hands of Zhenbei King Hongxuan.
The next thing to do is to warn the Miao village. King Hongxuan of Zhenbei will not let what happened to General Zhaowu De Nianzhi happen again.
If it weren't for Zhenbei King Hongxuan who possessed the secret book of Tianyuan acupuncture, anyone else would surely die if their natal Gu entered the eight extraordinary meridians!
Hongxuan is about to leave Southern Xinjiang.
He certainly didn't want such a thing to happen to his subordinates again.
