Everyone was dumbfounded.
In the past few days, the Chen family has made harsh words. On the day of the opening of the mansion, it will make the county prince's mansion look good, and it will make the Liu family and his son look good.
Everyone is convinced and worried about this.
Because the Chen family does have such strength, who can resist the two thousand capable veterans who came off the battlefield?
Even the Zheng family, one of the four prominent families, would not dare to fight head-on against the elite soldiers of the Chen family.
But what about now?
Those weapons that the veterans used to kill people like cutting melons can no longer penetrate!
"Devil!"
"They are not human!"
"Run!"
Two thousand elite soldiers, who Chen Kui had placed high hopes on, were dispersed in this way. At this time, life is at stake, who dares to fight? But it's easy to come, but not so easy to leave.
Qin Changfeng snorted coldly and shouted: "Leave no one behind!"
The momentum is astonishing and the murderous intent is sky-high.
He kicked the horse in the belly, causing the horse to gallop. He raised the knife and dropped it, beating the drowned dog, and in one fell swoop, a human head was struck. The so-called recruits and veterans actually have little difference in their training level, it just depends on whether there is blood on their hands. Once they have actually been on the battlefield and killed someone, their whole state of mind will be improved to a higher level.
This is what happened to these government soldiers at this time.
In this case, either you die or I die!
Under the leadership of Qin Changfeng, it is obvious that he has become red-eyed. The scene was in chaos. The combat effectiveness of the Thousand Mansion Soldiers obviously exceeded the 5,000 elite soldiers today!
No matter how shocked others were, Liu Zheng was calmly watching all this happen.
He was confident about the situation at hand. One thousand cavalry can create such a shocking war scene. What if there are five thousand? What about ten thousand? In ancient times, armies of hundreds of thousands or millions were dispatched at the same time?
Suddenly, Liu Zheng was a little excited and couldn't control himself.
A majestic and vast territory appeared in his mind. The territories waiting for him to conquer were rich and charming... and today, he had just taken a step forward.
The cavalry with plate armor are already so fierce.
Liu Zheng believes that after many of his technologies are realized in Yinzhou, his Liangzhou cavalry will gallop across the entire Central Plains, making enemies frightened!
"Master, run quickly!"
During the melee, several guards of the Chen family pulled Chen Kui, who was about to faint from anger, and tied him to a horse. They took advantage of the chaos and fled the scene.
A full half hour.
The county marshal's house became quiet again.
Qin Changfeng rode his horse forward, clasped his fists and shouted: "Your Majesty, in this battle we defeated the rebel Chen family's two thousand elite soldiers, killing one thousand, seriously injuring five hundred, and fleeing five hundred!"
Liu Dahao was extremely excited and said loudly: "Okay!"
Immediately, he looked around coldly and said loudly: "The Chen family rushed to kill the county magistrate. You are all witnesses. The evidence is conclusive. The crime deserves death!"
All the literati and common people in the audience agreed one after another.
The other three noble families finally recovered from their shock and stood up and clasped their fists in the same way.
None of them expected that the three noble families came today with the intention of watching a show, but before the show could even begin, it had already ended under the increasingly domineering tactics of the county magistrate.
"The county magistrate, Chief Shi Shen Xing, and Supervisory Counselor Qin Changfeng are in charge of the Chen family's confiscation!"
"Take orders!"
A thousand soldiers in plate armor, led by Shen Xing and Qin Changfeng, were already running towards the Chen family before they had rested.
Everyone was alerted at the same time.
Only at this moment did these prominent families truly realize a problem.
Yinzhou is going to change!
Liu Dahao has been very low-key since he came to Yinzhou. His son is responsible for everything. When people think he is a paper tiger, he is more ruthless than anyone else!
In today's situation, attacking the county magistrate's house is definitely a rebellion. The Chen family can't escape no matter what!
At this time, people realized that this was all a bureau of the county magistrate's office!
Please enter the urn!
Let the Chen family have no way to avoid it and no way to escape!
horrible!
This father and son are so terrible!
Zheng Yueru reacted the fastest, stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The county lord's office should be established and the people should return to their hearts. Due to the failure of Yinzhou in the past few years, bandits and bandits were rampant, the Zheng family's bodyguards were exceeded. Now the Zheng family has donated 1,500 elite soldiers and kept 500 for themselves. To show peace!”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the masters of the Wang family and the Cao family turned pale.
Want to fight?
For many years, private soldiers have been their trump card. If they are so easy to hand over, wouldn't they be manipulated by the county prince at will in the future?
However, the situation is stronger than the people. The Chen family has just been convicted of "raising private soldiers", and this girl Zheng Yueru has come out to express her loyalty for the first time. What can they do? He was trembling and wanted to speak.
Liu Zheng, who was standing next to him, laughed and said: "This matter is not urgent. The county magistrate knows several private soldiers who are protecting the smooth business, so they are not guilty. Raising soldiers costs a lot of money, and it is not easy for all members. We will wait until the matter calms down." , I’ll talk to you again!”
Several gentlemen seemed to have received amnesty.
Only Zheng Yueru looked at Liu Zheng blankly.
Why wouldn't he take advantage of such a good opportunity? Do you have to talk?
What she didn't know was that the Chen family had already caused panic in the entire Yinzhou City. Liu Zheng had no choice but to deal with the Chen family. First, the Chen family was really too arrogant and openly challenged the prestige of the county marquis. The government must establish its authority and give the people of Yinzhou a reassurance.
That phrase "rise or fall is mine, honor or disgrace is mine"!
Liu Zheng is not joking. As a modern man, he really thinks so. If you want to govern Yinzhou well, everyone must work together to make this barren land a great city in the world!
Soon, people volunteered to clean up the scene. Regardless of whether the county prince's words were true or false, this must be the first time they heard such an enthusiastic promise. The common people and farmers are so simple and honest, "If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as his countrymen; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as their own." Like enemies." People of this era don't understand these principles.
But Liu Zheng understands.
Today's battle shook Yinzhou.
When the people heard that the Chen family had been destroyed, they took to the streets to celebrate.
Over the years, they have been bullied too hard by these noble families. Finally, they have a county magistrate who makes decisions for the people. Who wouldn't be happy? At the same time, Liu Zheng's strong-willed and passionate words immediately spread across the land of Yinzhou.
"So fat?"
At night, Shen Xing, who came back from ransacking his house, brought an account book and handed it to Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw the account book.
The Chen family was in decline, and Chen Kui fled. He certainly didn't take much of his valuables with him. What was left behind in the Chen family was only two hundred thousand taels of silver and three hundred thousand shi of food and grass!
Eight hundred acres of fertile land, a thousand acres of middle land...
"Both!"
boom!
Liu Zheng slapped his hand on the table with a gloomy expression.
On the one hand, Yinzhou is so barren that it is difficult for the people to have enough to eat. On the other hand, these prominent families have fat crops and the wine and meat of the wealthy families are smelly. How can he not be angry?
The Chen family owned the most land among the four prominent families, so Chen Kui wanted to get the position of counselor of the Ministry of Agriculture.
At this time, it was exactly what Liu Zheng wanted.
He looked at Shen Xing and chuckled: "It seems that our several decrees can be promulgated!"
Shen Xing was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but bow and clasp his fists: "Young Master cares about the people, and his future is limitless!"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly. The Chen family was ransacked, and this matter will continue to ferment in Yinzhou. It is impossible for him to attack other prominent families, as it will definitely cause a mutiny. The Chen family left these hundreds of thousands of silver to solve Liu Zheng's urgent need.
During this period, it’s time to engage in construction...
Especially agriculture.
The recent autumn harvest has been busy, and farmers are eager for policy changes.
This is the first decree Liu Zheng will issue.
The city gate.
Notice again.
"The first decree!"
"The first decree of the county governor's office!"
People gathered again and started discussing.
"County Hou Qiuzheng!"
"First, the county lord has thousands of acres of fertile land, keeping a hundred acres for himself, and the rest will be assigned to the army! Starting today, Yinzhou will implement the garrison system one after another!"
At this time, the people were all in a rage.
The soldiers of the government are cultivating land and giving it to them for free? Training in your free time and farming in your busy time? This idea seems quite strange today. In fact, in Chinese history, the first to use this military system was the Northern and Southern Dynasties. At that time, it was called the Fu Military System. The country granted soldiers a certain amount of land and allowed them to farm the land with their families. After one year of farming, the land is yours. .
In the Tang Dynasty, Zhechong Mansion was established. At this time, the integration of military and peasantry was truly achieved. However, farmers still had to figure out how to use production tools at that time.
But by the Ming Dynasty, it developed into a garrison system.
The garrison system clearly stipulates that land and military households can be inherited by the eldest son.
Liu Zheng's military garrison system was much improved.
Production tools are provided by the county government!
The land is yours if it is given to you, as long as you join the military household!
The most important thing is that as long as it is military land, it is all tax-free!
This is simply good news for Yinzhou, which is full of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes!
Therefore, the people were excited.
"Is there such a good thing?"
"I want to be a soldier too!"
"Stop talking, I'll sign up first!"
Countless people rushed towards the county lord's mansion.
And when the second decree was issued, many people couldn't sit still.
"Second, the land inheritance law has been changed! Starting today, land inheritance in Yinzhou will be changed from the eldest son inheritance law to the natural inheritance law! The specific laws are as follows..."
At this moment, everyone was really confused.
Land inheritance laws?
Can this be changed?
Is there anything wrong with the primogeniture law that has lasted for thousands of years?
This change in the inheritance law will actually have little impact on the common people, but will have the greatest impact on the noble families!
The three prominent families were all unable to sit still.
But they have not yet reacted to this second decree.
Article 3 of the decree, Article 4, Article 5...
It can be regarded as a complete wave of construction in Yinzhou.
"Third, farmers are encouraged to reclaim wasteland and farmland. The ownership will permanently belong to the farmers and they will be exempted from taxes for three years!"
"Fourth, the fourth ministry formulates a tax policy and it will be tax-free for three years!"
"Fifth, Yinzhou increases the entry tax and bridge tax for foreign traders..."
"Sixth, the selection of counselors for the County Marquis Mansion will be carried out one after another..."
"Seventh, encourage horse breeding in Liangzhou. The county government will fund the construction of horse stables, and farmers will be exempted from taxes!"
The entire Yinzhou land was filled with joy, changing from the lifeless atmosphere when Liu Zheng first arrived.
Change seems to have just begun.
