"In that case, I will set up a [collection room]. It will be responsible for collecting grain and recruiting young men. The population of all villages will be entered into a roster."
"The field tax is set at 10%. After the autumn harvest, officials will be sent to collect grain from the house. The selection of strong men depends on the situation. After the war, the soldiers were injured, or the general government of the Fu Han Dynasty wanted to build bridges, roads, and water conservancy projects. That's it. Strong men from each village will be recruited."
"This is the seal of house expropriation. Please recognize it and take a look."
"I also said something ugly up front. Now that we have made an agreement, if anyone fails to abide by it in the future, I will send someone to arrest him and punish him with a serious crime."
Wu Nian first explained the matter of [house expropriation] in detail, and finally showed a serious look on his face, assumed a majestic posture, and glanced at everyone.
There must be unwilling people here.
Therefore, in addition to benevolence and righteousness, there must also be high pressure.
And the four Niu Dingtian brothers in Niujia Village killed the chicken to show the monkey, that chicken. Enough to suppress those unwilling villages.
Of course, this is only a temporary measure.
Let’s look at the situation first.
Let’s drive the Meng Yuan people out first.
Li Yong and Liu Zhixing each took out ten pieces of white paper with only one red seal printed on them and divided them among them. There were hundreds of people present, passing each other around.
simply put.
An official took this official document to collect grain, and the mountain village must give it.
In fact, it is formalism.
As long as Wu Nian always carried out his benevolence and righteousness, did not pay excessive taxes, did not impose excessive taxes, and continued to resist the Mongols and drive out the Mongolian people.
The people will definitely pay for the food
On the contrary, as long as Wu Nian makes a mess. The people no longer recognize it.
Wait until everyone has finished circulating it. Everyone elected a sixty-year-old village chief named Chen Guangyuan. The old village chief bent down to salute Wu Nian and said seriously: "Don't worry, General. Seeing official documents is like seeing people. We will prepare the food every year."
"As for the selection of strong men, it is urgent. Naturally, men should fight and women should luck. As long as the general persists in resisting the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, we will never begrudge the blood of our descendants."
"Thank you, old man." Upon hearing this, Wu Nian felt an inexplicable emotion in his chest, which made his eyes sore. After taking a deep breath, he bowed deeply and saluted Mr. Chen Guangyuan.
"General, you don't have to be like this." Chen Guangyuan quickly helped Wu Nian up.
Wu Nian stretched out his hands and grasped Chen Guangyuan's hands tightly. He raised his head, showed a smile, and said: "That's it. Thank you all for coming. Today I will host a banquet in my house to entertain you."
"Thank you, General."
Everyone thanked him.
With the conclusion of the contract.
The Fuhan General's Mansion finally had the functions that Wu Nian had given it from the beginning but could not realize.
Ordered the civil and military forces of Liaodong. Civil affairs and military power.
certainly. Currently it is limited to the land laid down by Wu Nian. That is nine castles. There are castles, mountain villages, and cottages within this range.
Wu Nian's nickname is "Lord of the Nine Forts".
Wu Nian expanded his troops and collected grain and grass. Although he took big steps, he also moved very steadily.
And the four thousand households of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty are also waiting for the troops of the Mongolian Yuan court to be replenished, and they want to recruit Han soldiers from ten thousand households of the Han people.
For a time, both parties were at peace with each other.
Time flies by and it’s December soon. It snows again today. Wu Nian was wearing a thick cotton coat and stood on the porch watching the snow.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Liu Xiang twisted her waist and came to Wu Nian with a bearskin cloak in her arms, and put it on Wu Nian gently.
Wu Nian stretched out his left hand and placed it on Liu Xiang's little hand. This little hand was much softer and smoother than before.
"I'm looking at the snow." Wu Nian said.
Now that they are an old couple, Liu Xiang was not ashamed, but moved closer to Wu Nian's back and wrapped his other hand around Wu Nian's waist.
"No. I think you look like you are looking at the snow, but you seem to be thinking about something." Liu Xiang shook his head and buried his face on Wu Nian's back.
Wu Nian smiled slightly, they were a couple after all.
really. What snow are you looking at?
In these mountains, there is a lot of snow in winter. He is looking at himself.
It was also winter when he first traveled through time. After careful calculation, this year is already the second year of full ten.
Two whole years.
Looking back on the past two years, Wu Nian couldn't help but feel dazed and dreamlike.
It has been a long but exciting two years.
"Da da da!!!" At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps turned into a stick, hitting the pair of mandarin ducks hugging each other.
Liu Xiang let go of Wu Nian's waist, took out her hand, and straightened her clothes.
Wu Nian smiled and took the bearskin cloak behind him, turned around and put it on Liu Xiang's body. Liu Xiang pouted, it was clearly the cloak I brought for my brother.
Wu Nian looked up at the end of the corridor. Chen Jiagui was running towards him with snow on his head and shoulders.
I'm afraid there's something urgent.
Wu Nian frowned slightly and asked, "Jiagui. What's the matter?"
"General. There are two things. Both came from the capital of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty." Chen Jiagui stood still, took a breath, and glanced at Liu Xiang first.
"There's still lotus seed soup burning in the kitchen. I'll go take a look." Liu Xiang smiled, twisted her waist and walked away holding her bearskin cloak.
Wu Nian was a little confused, Liu Xiang was not an outsider.
"General. Emperor Meng Yuan issued an imperial edict. There is a reward for the general's head. Anyone who beheads the general, whether he is a Mongolian, a Han, or a Goguryeo, will receive ten thousand taels of gold and be granted the title of a marquis."
Chen Jiagui said in a deep voice.
Wu Nian understood.
This head is worth a lot of money. Chen Jiagui was worried that Liu Xiang would be frightened.
"Haha. The Meng Yuan people are really out of their depth. They actually came up with such a method. Can a person like me be assassinated casually?"
Wu Nian immediately stopped laughing, shook his head and said.
"It's better to be more vigilant. Especially in terms of food and daily life." Chen Jiagui was not as relaxed as Wu Nian, and said in a serious voice.
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed and agreed.
Strategically, we should underestimate the enemy's tactics, but tactically we must pay attention to them.
The biggest fear is capsizing in the gutter.
"What about the other thing?" Wu Nian put aside this matter and asked curiously.
"Emperor Meng Yuan's scientific examination was completed. Tao Dayou from Guangyang Prefecture. Thirty-two years old. He first passed the imperial examination in August, and then passed the general examination in Dadu. The emperor selected him as the number one scholar in the Jinluan Hall."
Chen Jiagui's tone and expression were full of murderous intent.
He first started hanging out with Long Qie, and was nicknamed the Flying Sky Monkey. And every one of the old brothers who followed Long Qie had an unforgettable hatred against the Meng Yuan people.
Of course, what I hate most are the Han people who work for the Mongolian people.
For example, Qin Zhen, the governor of Liaodong, and Zhang Bu had thousands of Han households.
Now there is a champion. Tao Dayou.
Wu Nian couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. His thoughts were much more complicated than those of Chen Jiagui, and he had the intention to kill the No. 1 scholar of the Mongolian and Yuan Han people.
There are also a lot of political considerations.
The Mongolians used high pressure to control Han officials in Liaodong, keeping them clean and winning the hearts of the people.
The imperial examination was also held in Liaodong, and a large-scale selection of candidates and Jinshi was conducted.
If in the entire Chu State, each province would be allocated one point. It is not uncommon to be awarded the title of "Ji Ren" or "Jin Shi", but it is also very rare.
In other words, the Meng Yuan court allowed some people who would never have been able to become a scholar or scholar in the Chu Kingdom to become a scholar or scholar in the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
There is also a champion.
This greatly won over the hearts of Han scholars in Liaodong.
The hearts of the people, the hearts of scholars, and a strong army.
Chunyuan, the acting prince of the Meng Yuan people, was a master.
If he hadn't interfered with it, he would have fought with the Meng Yuan people for more than a year. In just a few years, the Mongolians would be able to integrate Liaodong and move south to Chu.
The corners of Wu Nian's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile that was colder than this bitter winter.
