Yunzhong County.
The ancestral home of the Wang family.
Sitting in front of Mr. Wang were several old men from other families.
"The other few didn't come. They seem to be scared out of their wits, so just ignore them!"
"If you don't have the courage at all, it's no wonder that you can't achieve anything big!"
Mr. Wang said with disdain.
Since they left Yunzhong County, they began to think of ways to break the situation on the road.
There are so many aristocratic families, some of which have been rooted in Yunzhong County for more than a hundred years. Not only can they cover the sky with one hand, they can at least respond to a hundred calls.
How could he completely surrender after being tormented like this by Zhang Bao?
to be honest.
It was also because Zhang Bao's move was caught off guard before, and because they had taken poison, they were unable to react.
When they came to their senses.
Naturally, he couldn't let Zhang Bao bully him like this.
"Mr. Wang, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
"If we really follow what that person said, I'm afraid we will collapse. You might as well come up with an idea!"
An old man said.
Although their families can be regarded as squire families, they are far behind compared to the Wang family.
If one really goes by what Zhang Bao said and gave money and food to people, it is absolutely impossible to divide it equally according to their situation. It is very likely that small aristocratic families like them are responsible for the majority, and the Wang family and the Zhou family have their own ideas.
This was also the main reason why they came to instigate Mrs. Wang.
"Why panic?!"
"Listen carefully. Now this person's origin is unknown, and he has a lot of troops. In addition, the way in and out has been blocked. Now even if we want to do something, it will be difficult!"
"The current plan is to stabilize the situation first, and within five days, prepare the money, food, people and horses according to the person's requirements."
"In addition, arrange all the merchants and caravans to find a way to sneak out and send the news here to Governor Chu of Shanqian County."
"Even if they want to close down, they can't stop business."
"If you can't get out of one place, find another place."
"If you can't go out during the day, go out at night!"
"If you can't get out normally, just use money to smash it!"
"Send the message no matter what."
"They still want to rebel? Is it so easy?"
Mrs. Wang said coldly.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
"We'll make arrangements when we get back."
With Mrs. Wang nodding, everyone has a backbone.
"As for the money, food and horses, there is nothing we can do. Give it to them and give the bulk to those who didn't come."
"But as for the two thousand men and horses that we have gathered together, we must find reliable people to lead them and choose reliable people. They still want to use our people indiscriminately. It is simply wishful thinking!"
"He ordered us to go down and stay dormant for the time being, waiting for the right time. When the time comes, he will definitely repay us double for what he has given us today!"
Mrs. Wang said harshly.
According to Mrs. Wang’s idea.
Although these old guys were poisoned, as long as they died and gave up their positions, the entire family would not be affected.
But in this way, we will completely confront these people.
This is undoubtedly unwise.
After so many years in the DPRK, one of the most important things in being able to retire safely is not to get ahead of everything and take advantage of the situation.
From the perspective of Mr. Wang, the world is about to be in chaos. Naturally, aristocratic families like his cannot get on the ship so early and bet their money on this group of unknown people.
That's why Mrs. Wang wanted to use the power of the newly appointed governor Chu La to deal with Zhang Bao and the others.
Mrs. Wang knew that Chu La was the governor.
Thus.
Undoubtedly, they also made their position clear to the governor.
The governor will naturally understand.
After sending those people away, Mrs. Wang was very tired and lay back on the bed.
At this age, he was kidnapped and threatened, so he was tortured.
As soon as Mrs. Wang lay down, several flowery maids walked in from outside.
When he came to the bedside, he looked at Old Mrs. Wang timidly.
Mr. Wang is now full of ambition but not strong enough.
Although I really want to do that, I have no choice but to say that my old body is no longer good enough.
When you are young, you don’t know how expensive it is, but when you are old, it is nothing to look at and shed tears...
This is the true portrayal of Mr. Wang.
etc!
Mrs. Wang sat up with excitement.
Why bother to fight that person?
They rebelled just for money, power and beauty, not to mention that person was very young, how could he not be beautiful?
Just give it to him...
Then……
…
After Zhang Bao captured several people from aristocratic families.
Xie Yunsong immediately promulgated a new tax collection system.
According to Zhang Bao's plan, it was difficult to achieve the goal of converting a small family into an entire family in one go, so it was divided into two steps.
The first step is to use the current population of Yunzhong County as a fixed number for tax collection. Even if the population increases in the future, the tax will not be increased.
This was used to promote population reproduction and prevent people from fleeing and migrating because they could not afford taxes and money.
At the same time, it can also guarantee a certain basic tax.
The second step is to unify the land into one, collect taxes according to the size of the land, and reduce or reduce the head tax.
In this first step, Zhang Bao aims to consolidate the people and gradually alleviate the current problems of land annexation and wasteland development in the first step.
After the first step is completed, at least most of the ordinary people and cultivators must have their own land, and then the second step of allocating land to farmers will be smooth.
at the same time.
Under Zhang Bao's arrangement, Xie Yunsong and others also took action against the small landowners.
They do not have such a large and complex backing force as the Aristocratic Family.
But bad things are done all the time, and there are many of them. There are one or two in almost every village.
Zhang Bao had nothing to say to these people. He immediately sent people to collect the landlords' livestock, farm tools, houses, grain and other property, leaving behind only the supplies for living and taking away the rest!
Then the land was distributed uniformly according to the entire population of each village, regardless of men, women, old and young.
If you don't accept it, fight!
without any exaggeration.
This process is quite difficult, almost all the way through!
How could those landowners be so obedient?
If they really followed Zhang Bao's approach, they would have directly transformed from landlords to poor peasants.
So along the way, there were not a few people who resisted.
What Zhang Bao and the others arranged was to gather two thousand people from various aristocratic families to deal with the current small landowners.
And those small landowners also know many people in these teams.
They all believed that this approach was meant by the wealthy families headed by the Wang family and the Zhou family.
Let several mutes from aristocratic families eat Coptis chinensis, which is extremely frustrating.
The landowners were driven crazy.
The aristocratic family was so aggrieved that they almost went crazy.
But ordinary people were happy.
They didn't expect that they would have their own land in their lifetime, and the poll tax would have been fixed.
If they really follow this method, it will only take a year or two for them to live a life without worrying about food and drink. The people have hope. For those people, the Master Zhang in their mouths has simply become the Great Master of Qingtian.
Under this virtuous cycle.
The county government's military recruitment, food collection, intelligence and other matters were all carried out extremely smoothly.
