I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

".Master Ma, I wonder if that group of bandits has made any moves now?"

After a while, Zheng Wanchun finally spoke to break the silence and asked about the situation of his group of bandits.

".They haven't made any noise, they have been staying quietly in Niaoshu Mountain."

Ma Wenchang shook his head, and his expression became better.

Fortunately, those bandits did not cause him any trouble at this time.

"In that case, why not."

Upon hearing that the group of bandits was very safe, Zheng Wanchun couldn't help but move his eyes slightly and tried to speak.

“Well, this is the main reason why I called you here.

I think at this moment, the Ming Dynasty court probably has no intention of paying attention to us bandits."

"Oh? What's the reason?"

By then, we will let the core combat soldiers carry out disciplinary supervision, and we will definitely not allow anyone to violate military discipline.

"This is the information that the military intelligence personnel found out in the Weiyuan County government office. It can't be false."

Wang Chao nodded. He was still very confident about those extraordinary soldiers.

The land tax in the early Ming Dynasty was about one to ten percent, which was considered relatively low.

What's more, the landlord's 50% is just the basic amount. He will always find a way to make you pay more.

Weiyuan County was later known as the "hometown of potatoes".

This time, we will take all the ill-gotten gains they have plundered from the people and make them ours.

In addition, make good arrangements for the villagers, distribute money, grain and land, pay attention to military discipline, and do not disturb the people."

After listening to Wang Chao's words, Wang Sanshun, Wang Dahu and others thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed feasible.

"Have you forgotten what I said before?"

If you do other work and don't have any land, you don't have to pay land tax.

Especially now, they are on the road to rebellion.

"Chief, is this true?"

However, if various other taxes are added, a family can barely survive after working hard for a year.

Facing the dynasty army that had been training for a month or two, had experienced several major battles, and was led by extraordinary soldiers.

Looking at the looks of the crowd, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel a little amused and helpless. Wasn't this a bit too hasty?

"Well! That makes me feel relieved."

Even if they are of peasant origin, there is no guarantee that they will treat the people well.

Seeing Wang Dahu's hesitation, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile and said.

For a moment, everyone started talking.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty's taxes, which were levied per capita, no matter whether you had land or not, you had to pay taxes.

Potatoes can be harvested in just three months.

Our current policy is to delay declaring ourselves king, store up grain, and try not to attract the attention of the imperial court, so as to avoid attracting a large army to encircle and suppress us.

Wang Chao looked up at the sky.

The so-called core combat soldiers are actually extraordinary soldiers.

For Wang Dahu and others, soldiers who have integrated the qualities of heaven and earth are their core members and the real main force of the army. They often call them core combat soldiers.

"The leader wants to attack the county seat of Weiyuan County?"

"Chief, do you mean that we occupy the villages outside the county?"

But they don’t dare to plant it.”

Hearing the song and understanding the elegant meaning, Ma Wenchang's expression was slightly moved, and a sad look appeared on his face. He sighed:

"Alas, this is all we can do for now! I can only sigh how difficult life is.

"Chief, what should we do next?"

Wang Sanshun asked hesitantly.

However, if they just ran away with their families, Wang Chao and the others would not bother to pay attention to them and would not deliberately chase them.

There's nothing we can do about it, it's their fault for making life difficult under the Meiji era.

It seems that this year, we can only rely on stored food and purchase from outside.

If something does happen, it will have nothing to do with ordinary people.

As for the amount of rent, let’s say 30% of the yield per acre of land.”

It's just that the timing is not right, so we can only let the people suffer temporarily.

I believe that the people will understand us and the court’s difficulties.”

It seems that it is grown in Guangdong.

In this way, another ten days passed quickly and it was September.

Wang Chao asked in surprise.

Otherwise, you will be subject to military court.”

"Then it seems to be true."

In other words, an average field can yield about 130 to 140 kilograms.

But he only accepted this one.

".In this case, all those farmlands will be ours from now on.

"What the leader meant was..."

If something unexpected happens, the family will be torn apart and the whole family will be destroyed.

They will carry out any order from the dynasty 100%.

However, in the eyes of the people, we are just a group of bandits. They dare to take our food and money, but they dare not take our land.

To them, those were the fields of the village head, the wealthy officials, and the local tycoons.

The rent Wang Chao collected reached 30% of every acre of land, which seemed like a lot.

"only."

However, if they carry a large amount of household assets.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then there was an uproar.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes should have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty by now, but they have not been widely spread.

For everyone, the death of the Ming Emperor was a cause for joy.

Then let those people rent our land and just pay the rent when the time comes.

However, compared with the various harsh taxes and levies of the imperial court and the 50% grain tax levied by the landlords, this was truly a conscience within a conscience.

".According to the news, Emperor Tianqi has passed away, and Prince Xin Zhu Youjian has succeeded him. Now he is Emperor Chongzhen"

"Hey, this is really short-lived."

Could it be that the time has come for them to start a rebellion?

Suddenly, Wang Dahu spoke hesitantly.

One dan is approximately equal to 120 jin.

But it’s hard to say about others.

Hearing this, Wang Chao couldn't help but be silent.

“Well, I heard people say that although we distributed land to the villagers.

It seems that he will have to send someone there in the future.

"I think after the failure of the previous two encirclement and suppression operations, Weiyuan County should not be able to send any troops.

In this way, the vast tracts of land outside the county town will be at our disposal."

Wang Chao couldn't help but think to himself that it seemed like he needed to draw people's attention to this matter.

The most important thing is that the dynasty collected land tax, not the head tax of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wow!"

Li Hei said this with certainty, but did not give any further explanation.

In an instant, Wang Dahu and others suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at Wang Chao with excitement.

It is basically impossible for them to violate the military discipline set by the dynasty.

Therefore, they have a blind and fanatical trust in the dynasty, and at least in the short term, this blind and fanatical trust will not subside.

However, it is already August and it seems that it is too late to harvest the crops even if they are planted.

Even if there were some survivors, those landlords and gentry all fled to the county town.

Compared with the taxes in the Ming Dynasty, this rent is actually quite high.

"We are all family now, so it's okay to speak frankly."

"The leader said, wait until you claim the throne and store up more food."

If they are like the rebel group led by Baishui Wang Er, they will have to send troops even if they don't want to.

After thinking for a while, Wang Chao slowly spoke.

If we plant sweet potatoes now, we should still be able to harvest them in one season.

If the whole family works together to plant about 30 acres, it should be easy, right?

This is equivalent to having a surplus of more than 3,000 kilograms of food, which is more than enough to support the family for a year.

With the first sentence, Wang Chao threw a trump card.

He took it for granted.

"Hehe, I heard that Emperor Tianqi didn't seem to be emperor for many years, right?"

"Well, that's right.

Even if something happens at that time, the landlords and government officials will look for Wang Chao and others, and it has nothing to do with the ordinary farmers.

It was Wang Chao who explained it to everyone.

Although this is not an attack on the county town, occupying the vast countryside outside the county town is also outward development, isn't it?

“Don’t worry, Chief.

Then I'm sorry, they definitely can't outrun the Dynasty Army who have supernatural powers.

Taking a medium-sized field as an example, it can probably yield more than one stone of grain.

"This"

Wang Chao nodded and looked at Li Hei, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, who was standing nearby.

“It’s true!”

If we attack the county now, no matter what the court officials think, they will send troops to encircle and suppress us, the group of people who stand out.

Haven't you seen Wang Er in Baishui County being surrounded and suppressed by soldiers?"

As time went by, most of the villages in Weiyuan County were occupied by Wang Chao and his people.

Since most of the farmers did not dare to take the land and property they distributed, they took it all for themselves and let the farmers rent it for farming.

On September 5, Wang Chao summoned Wang Dahu and others to the conference room for a meeting.

Of course, this cannot be calculated in the actual situation.

They were afraid that if someone in their family went to the county government to file a complaint, not only would the land and property be taken back by the government, but they would also be involved in a lawsuit and might even lose their lives.”

The servants and guards of the wealthy landlords' houses naturally had no power to resist at all and were almost killed overnight.

"."

This kind of weather is indeed not suitable for planting.

"Ok!"

As a result, this anti-bandit operation was temporarily put on hold.

If there were two seasons, the harvest would be greater.

After listening to Wang Chao's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding, yet at the same time they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

When everyone gradually stopped discussing, Wang Sanshun asked Wang Chao.

After listening to Wang Chao's explanation, Wang Dahu's eyes lit up again.

Just as Wang Chao was deep in thought, Wang Dahu's words brought him back to his senses.

But it also depends on the specific situation. If things are not feasible, we can withdraw them."

They just wanted to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, but they didn't take into account the current actual situation.

“Well, that’s pretty much what it means.

After all, overall, this group of bandits was still very stable. At least they did not often go down the mountain to rob, and they had no intention of attacking the county town.

"Oh~!"

"Well, now is the seventh year of Tianqi, which means that Emperor Tianqi has been emperor for about seven years."

Next, everyone quickly mobilized, with those core combat soldiers as the main force, and led other regular troops to rush to various villages under the jurisdiction of Weiyuan County.

"Oh, is it because of the weather?"

It seems that his prayer for rain should evolve as soon as possible.

It would be nice if there were sweet potatoes or potatoes.

"Chief, we have distributed the land.

During these days, Wang Chao has continuously condensed the projections of the heavenly and earthly qualities. In addition to Li Yu's special combat forces, there are more than 200 people who have integrated the heavenly and earthly qualities.

"That's not the case, Chief."

Wang Chao was relatively relieved about those extraordinary soldiers because they had integrated the heavenly and earthly status and knew of Wang Chao's deified identity.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The leader had said so much, who knew what he was saying now?

Wang Sanshun frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes flashed.

Thirty percent is about 40 kilograms, while the tenants will have a surplus of 80, 90, or 100 kilograms of food.

On average, Wang Dahu and others have twenty to thirty extraordinary soldiers under their command.

“Our attack this time is mainly aimed at those local rich people.

They were all pursued and killed by the dynasty's troops, and all their gold, silver, food, and other supplies were confiscated and returned to the public.

Thank you for your support! (˙˙)
