The leaders of the wealthy families were fearful and uneasy in their hearts. The hero they were waiting for did not appear.
There was a sea of people in front of the Chen family's Wubao, but most of them were ordinary people.
They roared excitedly and shouted Ye Long's name.
As early as yesterday, the people got the news that Ye Zixing would open a warehouse in Chenjia Wubao to increase food supply. This would be a great benefit to the people in the city.
As for what happened to the Chen family, they didn't care.
But I was very happy that all the Chen family's shops and iron shops were sealed. In particular, many blacksmiths once made weapons and equipment for the Chen family, but in the end they did not receive corresponding rewards.
The Chen family is a vampire, exploiting and squeezing working people.
Many people felt very happy.
When Ye Zixing opened a warehouse to boost food supplies, the people cheered and arrived in front of the Chen family's Wubao early.
"Everyone should line up in order. Food will be distributed to everyone. Don't crowd or make chaos. If someone doesn't follow the rules, they won't get any food."
Zhuge Liang took a big trumpet and shouted at the top of his lungs.
He is extremely busy now. All the food in the Chen family's Wubao has been taken out and the food distribution has begun.
But there were just too many people.
There are more than 100,000 people in Changyi City. Even if they don't all come here now, Zhuge Liang is still busy.
During the reorganization of Zhuge Liang and his army of 100,000 men, those people who did not line up actually formed a good team.
They were all very hungry for food. Ye Zixin opened a granary to increase the food supply, and each person was given two dan of food. In this era of war and famine, that could feed one person for two months!
Therefore, the people were very eager for these two stones of food.
Moreover, Yizixing also promised the people that no matter whether they were men or women in the family, as long as they were individuals, they could distribute two stones of food!
Therefore, when warehouses are opened to promote food supply, food distribution is based on head count.
Those with a large household registration and a large number of people in their families are really smiling in their hearts.
Two stones per person, Changyi City has a population of more than 100,000, where does Ye Long's food come from?
Naturally, they were looted from the homes of the Chen family and those clans that wanted to unite with the Chen family to resist.
Yesterday, the Chen family was seized and tens of thousands of dan of grain were obtained.
Coupled with the food stored in other clans' homes, there are not only 200,000 shi of food, but even more.
All the excess food had been carried by Li Jin to the military camp in the city.
This food is enough to enable the 100,000 troops to survive the upcoming half-month snowstorm.
Seeing the mountains of food piled up in the Chen family's Wubao, the patriarch of the wealthy Changyi clan and the children of the family swallowed their saliva.
I was glad in my heart that I didn't follow the Chen family's footsteps and go all the way to the dark side.
If that's the case, and there are other families following the Chen family who are resisting Yizixing, I'm afraid there will no longer be any wealthy clans in Changyi City...
And the food in their homes should probably be piled there.
Now, even if all their clans unite and all the private soldiers gather together to resist Ye Long, they may not dare to do so.
Not to mention Ye Long's 100,000-strong army, let's talk about the people in this city. If they dare to stop and resist Yizixing even if they lose money, the more than 100,000 people in this city will tear them apart...
The people of Changyi City are now red-eyed!
In their minds, Ye Zixing means to recreate their parents and give them food to eat, that is, they are their parents. People do not allow anyone to resist their parents who harm them.
Dong Zhao and a dozen servants of the Dong family huddled in a corner, marveling and smiling bitterly, with deep admiration in their eyes.
He finally understood why Ye Long dared to touch the clans in the city.
The clan has money, food, and private soldiers, so it can unite together.
But what's the point? In this war-torn era when people are in dire straits, only with the support of the people can it be truly useful.
Ye Long opened a warehouse to raise grain, took the Chen family's grain, helped the people of Changyi, borrowed flowers to offer Buddhas, but he got the support of the people of Changyi. Just imagine, all the people in a city support you, no matter how powerful the clan is. , how powerful can it be?
Just look at the Yellow Turban Army. A group of unarmed peasants revolted in various places and soon beat the Liu Han court until they could no longer take care of themselves!
And Ye Long was from the Yellow Turban Army, but he is now clean!
As for the other Yellow Turban Army, if they had Ye Long's skills, they should also be able to achieve Ye Long's achievements.
But other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, Qu Shuai, they hated the court and the clans. Wherever they conquered, there were basically no rich clans left alive...
This is the difference between Ye Long, he suppresses wealthy families, but he doesn't kill you, he just destroys a family, or several families, to scare the monkeys!
Let the wealthy clans be frightened, frightened, and unable to think of resistance.
Then I will give you some interest and benefits. While those wealthy clans are afraid, they must also be grateful and smile in their hearts. They always feel that they are not at a loss.
Wealthy clans can never be wiped out. If one family is wiped out, another one will appear, namely Li Jin, Bai Changyun, Xu Huang and others. They are descendants of poor families and farmers, but after a few decades, or He said that when he conquered the world, didn't the people around him become new clan giants by becoming generals?
Therefore, Ye Long did not intend to completely wipe out the wealthy clans, but to deprive them of their power and assets, and make them obedient and become his eagle dogs.
If you do things for yourself, you have to thank yourself! This is Ye Long's ultimate goal.
"Brother, what should we do now? We can't see Zixing, so we're just freezing here." Dong Yuan, Dong Zhao's younger brother, was wrapped in his own cotton-padded coat and shivering as he said.
The hearts of the people in Changyi City are hot, but they are cold now.
It was so cold that the upper and lower teeth in his mouth were chattering.
He couldn't understand why his eldest brother and he had been squatting outside the Chen family's Wubao since yesterday evening.
Even if you don't want to be enemies with Zhi Xing, there is no need to lick your face and stick to Zhi Xing like this.
That's good. I didn't see Zhi Xing yesterday. He was shut down by Zhi Xing. Even in the cold weather, I was still waiting at the Chen Family's Wubao just to see Zhi Xing.
The face of the wealthy clan was completely abandoned.
The key is to be able to see him. From yesterday evening to now, apart from the common people, the defenders who maintain order, and at most the young military advisor who led the defenders and a few generals, the shadow of Ye Zixing has been seen. , not seen at all.
So Dong Yuan was a little confused, very confused.
Why? Just don't go against Zhi Xing.
Doesn’t it smell good when you lie down comfortably at home?
"Wait! When the food is distributed, Yizixing should show up." Dong Zhao said expressionlessly.
Anyway, he has to rely on Ye Long now. The fate of the clan giants has stopped here. Regardless of whether the world belongs to Liu Han or a certain prince and king in the future, the clan giants will definitely be suppressed by the new emperor. This is Unchangeable fact.
He, Dong Zhuo, can see reality clearly, and he can recognize reality more clearly.
Today's clans are too expanded. Although there are clans that are fiercely loyal and devoted to the court, and there are clans that seek welfare for the people, there are really not many clans left.
Most of the wealthy clans in this world have dark hearts.
When the time comes to change the dynasty, a new king must be chosen. Instead of surrendering, being an ordinary person, and being suppressed and sanctioned by the new king, it is better to spend all the wealth, closely follow the footsteps of a certain prince, and start all over again.
Die, let's all die together.
Give birth, let’s give birth together.
When the new dynasty comes, the Dong family will be the founding heroes.
In his opinion, Dong Zhao, Ye Zixing is probably that person.
"Brother, just wait here? Can't you go home and wait?" Dong Yuan said in shock.
I have been waiting all day and night! Still waiting? Forget it, we still have to wait until the food distribution is completed. That is 200,000 shi of food. It will be distributed in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse! At least three days have passed, right? Is it possible that we have to wait outside the Chen family's Wubao in the ice and snow? You eat, drink, poop and sleep here?
Isn’t this nonsense!
Dong Yuan was extremely reluctant.
"Nonsense, just wait here! Otherwise I would have gone back yesterday." Dong Zhao glared at his brother and said angrily.
Does he want to wait? I definitely don't want to. Who has nothing to do and stays in this ice and snow? Tomorrow there will be a blizzard that will last for half a month. Does he want to freeze here?
I don’t want to, but I can’t help it.
If Zhi Xing doesn't come out now, isn't he just waiting for the sincerity of these aristocratic families?
Ye Zixing is rubbing off the pride of their family!
Only by lowering his proud head and lowering his posture can Ye Long be satisfied.
When there is a big reshuffle in Changyi, his Dong family will not suffer unreasonable disasters.
As for those clan giants who have not come over, even if Zhi Xing does not touch them after this incident has passed, it will be difficult for them to get into Zhi Xing's eyes, and they will not be able to become the core of Zhi Xing's future power!
"Brother, why? Didn't Zizixing conquer Changyi? At worst, we just don't offend him. I still don't believe that if we don't offend Zizixing and don't touch his brow, he will still cause trouble for our Dong family. Then Does he still have justice?" Dong Yuan screamed strangely and said unconvinced.
"Brother Yuan, shut up! I can solemnly tell you now that in Changyi, Jiyin County, and even Hanoi County next to Luoyang, Yizixing is the law of heaven! You'd better control your mouth. Also, get back here now, I will just wait here. Take these servants back with you." Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Yuan and shouted coldly.
Dong Yuan was slightly startled and looked at his elder brother Dong Zhao with some aggrievedness.
This was the first time he saw his elder brother getting angry at him, and the first time he warned him so solemnly.
"Brother, I understand. I will wait with you! You all know how to do it!" Dong Yuan took a deep breath and spoke firmly.
He is not a fool. His eldest brother's words have come to this level. If he doesn't take Zhi Xing seriously and never thinks about Zhi Xing's bright future, it will be in vain. He is a child of the Dong family, and all his books are in vain. .
"Master, it's so cold and there are still snowflakes falling, so the old servant can still serve you if he stays here..." the old housekeeper behind Dong Yuan said cautiously.
"I told you to go back as soon as you went back. Where did you come from so many words? Also, don't come to me and eldest brother without our order, you know!" Dong Yuan glared at the old housekeeper and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes!" The old housekeeper nodded in fear.
The old housekeeper knew the temper of this second young master. Although he was kind-hearted, he had a very bad temper and would get angry at every turn. Sometimes he would punish them corporally... by making them climb trees and drill holes. At his age, he really can't bear that kind of punishment.
So when Dong Yuan was about to get angry, he quickly ran away with his people.
Dong Zhao looked at his biological brother with satisfaction in his eyes.
In fact, his younger brother is smarter than him, but he has a bad temper, a very impatient personality, and sometimes he is playful.
However, in Dong Zhao's view, these are all minor problems. His own brother has just not been tempered in the world. After experiencing the harsh tempers and beatings of this cruel world, his future achievements will be limitless.
"Brother, I'm not stupid. Since we want to show sincerity, then we two brothers will wait here for Ye Zixing. The ground is our bed and the sky is our quilt. We will eat and sleep with the people these days!" Dong Yuan directed at Dong Zhao Grinning.
"Yes, you have grown up." Dong Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
"But brother, I'm the one who made the scandal earlier. I, Dong Yuan, have the qualifications to be a prime minister and a general in the future! If Ye Zixing is in trouble, I will not serve him." Dong Yuan said again.
"Just wait and see. In fact, eldest brother is also very curious about who this Ye Zixing is. I just heard his name, but I haven't seen him. Just wait, you will see him soon." Dong Zhao took a deep breath, and his eyes were filled with tears. It's a look of anticipation.
…
Where is Ye Long at this time? Where again?
Changyicheng County Government.
At this time, Ye Long was sitting in the county magistrate's seat, looking coldly at the three people trembling below.
These three people were none other than the Changyi County Magistrate, Chen Tai'a, the head of the Chen family, and the Changyi County Magistrate.
"Master Chen, the prefect is asking you a question, why have you kept silent?" Changyi County Chief Registrar looked at Chen Tai'a and asked coldly.
The surname of the chief administrator of Changyi County is Sheng, and his courtesy name is Yueqi.
Chief He Yu was an extraordinary person. He was born into a rich family, but he had considerable talent. Because no one acted for him, all his talent was wasted in Changyi County and he could only be a small man. The county magistrate.
Because he came from a poor family, it was difficult for him to find a way out. When Jiyin County was still controlled by Yuan Xu, a prominent family, it was even harder for him to find a way out...
On Ye Long's first day of siege, Chief He Yu had the idea of joining Ye Long.
Until the defenders rebelled, Yuan Xu committed suicide, and Ye Long led the army into the city.
He was the first to bring Li Jin into the house!
And he was the first to seek refuge with Ye Long.
But he did not show it, but lurked beside the county magistrate, because he knew that the relationship between the Changyi County Magistrate and Chen Tai'a was very close. It can be said that these two people dominated Changyi with one hand, even when Liu Dai was here. , and did not take Liu Dai into consideration.
When Zixing invades the city, these two guys will definitely cause trouble. No, they will empty out the granary in the county government.
They naively thought that without food, Ye Zixing would not dare to touch them, but they were wrong. Not only did Ye Long move, he also killed him without giving Chen Tai'a a chance to stand up.
"Yizixing, don't be too happy. You have seized my Chen family, robbed my Chen family of food, and taken away my Chen family's gold and silver. As the governor of Hanoi, you have no rights at all! The court will definitely seek justice for me. ! And the wealthy clans in the world are watching! If word of what happened in Changyi City spreads, you Ye Long will have no place to live, and the wealthy families in the world will join forces to fight you. Just wait for death!" Chen Tai'a looked at it and said sternly.
Although he was scared and trembling, he still had the courage to say what he wanted to say.
"Mrs. Chen, I see you are still living in a dream. Look outside...look at your Chen family's Wubao. Look at what the people are cheering and look at what the Yellow Turban Army is doing! You suckers Pests of human blood! Food? Gold and silver? Does it belong to your clan's rich family? It was earned by the common people who worked hard and sacrificed their lives and exchanged their livers and blood for it! But you, oppressing the common people, squeezing the common people, even those who do the most basic work The monthly money is not enough for the common people! You said that the rich and powerful families in the world have joined forces to fight against Grand Administrator Ye... Do you have any people? Do you have soldiers?! Stop wishful thinking. Today, what happened in Changyi City is spread out, and the people of the world are all united! It's time for your rich clans to wake up. woke up."
Chief He Yu looked at Chen Tai'a, shook his head and said, his voice full of resentment, but also full of pity.
Chen Tai'a has not yet understood the reality and thinks that the clans in the world will unite to fight against Yizixing. What will they use to fight against him? Unless they, like Yizixing, open warehouses to boost food supplies and help the people.
But they are aloof and self-righteous, looking down on wealthy families and farmers. Is it possible that they will give out food?
With their stingy spirit, if they had the people in mind, the food would have been provided long ago, and there would be no cannibalism.
If they are willing, will the people accept it? Will they take their food and go against someone who really has their best interests at heart?
The people are suffering, the people are tired, and the people are living in dire straits, but their hearts are pure!
The clan took out food and it was too late to make amends.
When the news about Changyi City spreads, I am afraid that the entire eight counties of Yanzhou and even the people in other states are looking forward to Yizixing's arrival to punish these wealthy families and seek justice for their people.
"Hahaha, you underestimate the power of the powerful clans. If the clans unite, even the emperor will be afraid. What the heck is Zhi Xing?" Chen Tai'a laughed crazily and roared, unwilling to accept the reality.
It's natural that you can't accept reality.
Yesterday, it was the most wealthy family in Changyi and the most popular clan in Yanzhou. Today, it has been reduced to a prisoner and all the family property was taken away by the bandit Yizixing.
Who can accept this reality?
No one would be able to accept this earth-shaking change.
"Zixing, you are a local official of the imperial court! But you are attacking other states and counties behind the imperial court's back. Do you take the imperial court seriously? Is there any justice?" Changyi County Magistrate also summoned the courage to say.
Now that Ye Long is the governor of Hanoi, he should listen to the court, but he ignored the court and braved the heavy snow to attack Jiyin County. This is simply lawless.
"The court, the law of heaven?" Ye Long stood up, walked up to the three county magistrates, and looked at them jokingly.
"In the current court, is your surname Liu or Dong? Governor of Hanoi? Do you think I, Ye Zixing, are rare? Do you know where I come from? Farmer, Yellow Turban Army! In your eyes, I am a thief, Yellow Turban Thief!"
"Dong Zhuo thought that by appointing me as the governor of Hanoi, he would be able to restrain me? He wanted me to submit to the imperial court? Back then, you, the powerful clans, were the eunuchs in the court. You oppressed the people, looked down on the disciples from poor families, and refused to even give them a chance. It is still the case today. . It is you who have made this country a mess, and the people are in dire straits. This country is sick and needs to be cured! And the disease is not serious.
"When I invaded the city, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. It's your fault. Now that you've made a mistake and don't regret it, that's a big mistake. Now that the chance is gone, you should too On the road."
Ye Long directly pulled out his sword, a cold light flashed, and a column of blood spurted out, directly cutting off the heads of Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate.
He didn't give them another chance, nor did he let them have another chance to speak. There was only one chance.
For such self-righteous people who are clearly wrong but refuse to repent, Ye Long will not give them another chance.
Even if you let them go, they will not repent and may even leave hidden dangers.
Now that you’ve done it, do it!
Cutting off the roots.
"Plop" sound.
The county magistrate sat down on the ground, his legs were shaking, and he was so frightened that he peed.
The scarlet, warm blood splashed directly onto his face.
The headless bodies of Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate, as well as the dead heads with eyes open in anger, deeply stimulated his brain.
"..." Chief He Yu swallowed, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
This Ye Zixing is so decisive and resolute, he will kill when he says it!
One of those two people is Chen Tai'a, the patriarch of a wealthy clan, and the other is an official of the imperial court.
Ye Long will kill him if he says so. If he is a thief, then that's all.
But now he is no longer there. The imperial court has appointed him as the governor of Hanoi.
If you don't obey the imperial court's orders, you still have to give the imperial court some face, right?
He really didn't expect that Ye Long would kill him as soon as he said so.
"The heads of these two people were hung high on the city gate for three days as a warning. As for the county magistrate and the Chen family, the men were sent to the army and the women were sent to be military prostitutes. Children under the age of five were brought to one place to be raised. I will keep it of great use. As for the old man... forget it, the old man will give them some money and food and let them fend for themselves." Ye Long looked at the guards behind him and said calmly.
"Here." Konoe said, clasping his fists, and then walked out with the heads of Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate.
As for the body, other people will naturally handle it. He just needs to do what Ye Long told him.
"Why, are you scared?" Ye Long wiped the blood on his sword and looked at the county magistrate with a sneer.
The county magistrate knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Prefect, please spare this official... Your official does not know what the county magistrate and Chen Tai'a did!"
The county magistrate burst into tears and wanted to smash his head. He was afraid that if Ye Long accidentally struck him with a sword, his head and body would be separated... He didn't want to die yet, he really didn't want to die. .
"I will definitely obey the prefect's orders. I will do whatever the prefect asks me to do! I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Only then did Chief He Yu react and looked at Ye Long with awe.
He knew that Ye Long would not kill the county magistrate.
First, the county magistrate did not go against Ye Long. He really didn't know what Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate were doing.
The second is that Ye Long wanted to kill the county magistrate, but he was afraid that he had already taken action just now. Instead of killing him, he killed Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate. He was killing chickens to scare the monkeys and make the county magistrate afraid.
When Ye Long did this, he probably had something to ask the county magistrate to do.
What can the county magistrate do for Ye Long?
Population, taxes, land and food...
Countless thoughts flashed through He Yuqi's mind instantly.
But he wasn't sure where Ye Long would start.
But it is definitely not good for the clan giants, otherwise Ye Long would not have killed Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate, and hung his head on the city wall.
"Very good, write it down. You have to write it down one by one as I said!" Ye Long walked to the desk, took out the pen and ink and the blank bamboo slips, and placed them in front of the county magistrate.
"Yes, yes, prefect." The county magistrate hurriedly took the brush with trembling hands, cold sweat dripping from his head, and looked at Ye Long in fear.
"Don't be nervous. This is a great thing. Not only will I not kill you, I will also make you the magistrate of Changyi County. Do you understand?" Ye Long said with a smile.
Seeing the nervous and fearful look on the county magistrate's face, he knew that his goal had been achieved, and this was the effect he wanted.
You can't kill a group of people with one shot. If you kill the leader in front of your younger brother, the others below will be scared. If they want to betray you in the future, you have to weigh whether he has the ability and courage.
"Many... many thanks, Governor... many thanks!" The county magistrate's hand shook and the brush almost fell to the ground.
Can you believe what Ye Long said? Regardless of whether he could believe it or not, he couldn't believe it! If he could really be made the county magistrate, he would wake up laughing from his dreams. The key is that he is so scared.
"Okay, let's start writing." Ye Long said.
"First, the population will be counted in all parts of the city and in all regions tomorrow. All men, women, old and young will be counted. They will be counted from house to house. No one will be spared."
"Second, starting from tomorrow, all the land in Changyi County and Town will be owned by the government. All clan lands will be recovered unconditionally. If anyone resists, they will directly lead troops to suppress them, regardless of life or death."
"Third, all taxes will be canceled and exempted. From now on, everyone in Changyi County and Town will no longer pay taxes."
Ye Long's voice was very calm...
But when it stopped in the ears of Chief He Yu and the county magistrate, it was like thunder or a bomb!
He Yu was so shocked that he could stuff a big duck egg into his mouth, and the county magistrate couldn't even write.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Write quickly!" Ye Long shouted in a deep voice.
The county magistrate shivered, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and started writing again.
"Fourth, it is interoperable with the first and second points. After counting the population of Changyi County and Town, after all the land is recovered, the land will be distributed to everyone according to the population. Assume that there are 300,000 people in Changyi. According to the population, there are 30 acres of fertile land, and each person is allocated one acre." Ye Long said.
"Fifth, all taxes are exempted, but the government allocates land to everyone so that everyone has land to grow. Every year, the government takes 10% of the grain from each acre of land."
"Prefect...are there any more?" After the county magistrate finished writing, seeing Ye Long didn't speak, he looked at Ye Long stupidly and asked.
He finally understood that Ye Long was depriving the wealthy clan of their rights as big landowners!
He recovered all the land and gave it to everyone to cultivate... Then he took 10% of the grain and suddenly became a landlord!
And military rations... are also available.
"No more." Ye Long said.
"Of course those clan giants, if they want land, they have to buy it from me. Of course, I also have to take 10% of the food they grow. After all, I exempt everyone from taxes! Another thing, except for the government Except for the land that can be sold, no one else can sell the land, but it can be rented, but the rent must be paid to the other party, and the rent is determined by the government. As for what to do with the land when it is rented out, I will not interfere, as long as you don't do bad things. As for government food As for the commission, one acre of land is calculated as five hundred catties, and the government takes fifty catties."
"Also, when spring comes, the government will reclaim wasteland. If someone wants to farm the wasteland, they can also pay to buy it. The government will take care of the land outside the city and in the villages, and the grain officials will protect it. You don't have to worry about the land being destroyed. Being vandalized."
Ye Long expressed his thoughts in one breath.
"Prefect, this is really a good plan!" Chief He Yu applauded directly.
Count the population and divide the areas according to population! In this way, the land will not only be controlled by the clan, but ordinary people will also have land to grow and their own food!
The key problem is that this is a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone. Nowadays, all the men in the family have gone to join the army, leaving only the women at home and distributing the land so that women's labor force can be used to farm!
Also, if you want to get more land, you have to live... live hard, live hard, live hard!
The more children you have, the more land you will have.
The biggest drawback of this country today is that the population is too small and there is too much wasteland. If the population increases and the wasteland is distributed, food will be hidden and there will be many fewer hungry people.
After all, one man's labor force, farming for a year, is enough food for a family to eat for a year!
Ye Long also wants to reclaim wasteland and send grain officers to protect it. This will protect the land from damage to a large extent. Then the grain output will increase and more people will farm the land.
Now that they have been fighting for years, people have no fixed place and no safe place, so they naturally dare not farm at will. Now with Ye Long's guarantee, there will naturally be more people on that kind of land.
The most important point is that all the land in the hands of the clan has been reclaimed. If you want to be a landlord in the future, you have to buy the land from the government. If you want to sell it, you don't have the right, so you can only rent it out to others, and the rent It also has to follow the standards set by the government, which restricts landlords from buying land from the government and then renting it out at a high price to earn the difference.
This is a very big reform change!
Now the major clans are in panic, fearing that Ye Long will find them. At this time, when such a plan is proposed, the clan giants dare not come out to resist, and they can only suffer the loss of silence. The land they have forcibly occupied can only be given to Spit it out.
Those who wanted to resist probably didn't dare to resist when they saw the heads of Chen Tai'a and the county magistrate on the city gate.
But once you get used to this method, the effect is definitely very good.
The wealthy clans do not necessarily suffer.
Because they have money, they can buy land, rent land, and hire people to farm the land.
Although he spent more on rent and made less money, it was much better than being directly obliterated and seized by Ye Long.
The main thing is that wealthy clans can buy and rent land openly!
The people who benefit the most are the common people and Ye Long.
If the people don't want to farm, they just rent out the land. They just need to hand it over to the government at the rate of fifty kilograms of grain per mu of land every year.
Those who don’t want to rent out farm the land, so they can still have food and clothing.
And Ye Long just won, taking 10% of the grain from each mu of land. If calculated as fifty kilograms, three hundred thousand acres of land would be fifteen million kilograms or five hundred thousand shi of grain per year!
It's just that counties and towns have to hand over 500,000 grains a year, plus the money from clans to buy land, and the grain that the government reclaims wasteland to grow.
This Ye Long is really making a fortune!
Who makes people powerful, awesome, and have soldiers?
Who let people be the natural law of Changyi?
"My lord, this is about farming..." Chief He Yu asked in surprise.
"It's not farming, but encouraging everyone to farm so that everyone can farm! In this way, people will not go hungry." Ye Long said with a smile.
"Chief He Yu, you are responsible for supervising the implementation of this matter. As I said, if those clans are unwilling to hand over their land, they will be killed without mercy! I think those clans are not fools... and their servants, Knowing that I will be allocated land, who will work for the clan, they will probably go home to farm."
Ye Long looked at Chief He Yu with a smile on his lips.
"What my lord is saying is that if you have fields and can fill your stomach, who will work for those clans? Isn't he comfortable at home farming by himself?" Chief He Yu also laughed.
The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead. This plan seemed not to be easy to implement...but it was indeed a good plan. At least he could get a lot of land, so that his family would have something to do.
At this point, the era of farming for all people began to be implemented under Ye Long's strong formulation.
At the very least, Changyi, Dongyang, and even the entire Jiyin County will reach the peak of farming in the near future.
Subsequently, the farming trend swept across Chenliuguo, Dongjun, Hanoi, Yingchuan, and even all over the country, and all people started farming.
At this point, the rights of the wealthy clans have been greatly weakened, and all the land is in the hands of the princes.
Although the princes have food, the biggest beneficiary is Ye Long, the founder of this farming model.
The popularity of farming made all princes in the Liu Han Dynasty realize the importance of food. Without food and land, no one would be willing to work for you...
This also led to the formation of an unwritten rule when battles occurred between the various princes.
That is, the fields cannot be destroyed... Even if the battle is won, the fields cultivated by the people and the government cannot be destroyed.
Therefore, in the next few years or more than ten years, there will be no more cannibalism in the Liu Han Dynasty, and the people will no longer be hungry.
But these are things for later, let’s not talk about them for now.
…
Two days later, the Chen family arrived in Wubao.
"My lord, the two young masters of the Dong family have been guarding here for four days. It makes Liang feel distressed to see them. The young masters of the big clan are so resilient. They stay here during the day and eat the big pot of rice we made when they are hungry. We ate with the people, pitched a tent at night, and slept in the ice and snow."
The moment Zhuge Liang saw Ye Long, he came up to him. Without mentioning anything, he mentioned the two young masters of the Dong family, Dong Zhao and Dong Yuan.
"Are they Dong Zhao and Dong Yuan?" Ye Long asked with a smile.
"Of course, the two Dong brothers are very understanding. All the clansmen in Changyi City rushed home after hearing about the farming order. Only their brothers are still here to guard." Zhuge Liang said. .
In fact, Zhuge Liang admired Ye Long's farming order in his heart. Although this method greatly weakened the clan's control over the land, the loss of benefits was not great. It was just that the land could not be sold privately, but renting land was almost the same as selling it.
Although the government would extract 10% of the grain for every acre of land, it was nothing compared to the tax exemption that Ye Long was exempted from.
Although the clan was dissatisfied with the issuance and implementation of the farming order, they did not dare to show it. After thinking about it carefully, the Chen family was confiscated, the men were sent to the army, the women were made military prostitutes, and the food was distributed to the people. They just gave some benefits to the government and the people... and they seemed to be able to accept it.
After all, they cannot do without the government and the people. Without the people, there will be no one to help them farm and do things. Without the government, there will be no one to protect them. If the Yellow Turban Army invades, the clan will be completely destroyed.
They can only accept their fate now, because Ye Long is in control of Changyi at this time...
As soon as the farming order came out, the people who were most excited were the people who didn't have enough to eat!
With the land, as long as they persist for a year, they will have food to eat. As for the government's commission, it is only 10%. They can accept even 50%. After all, they didn't even have land before, so how could they get it? What about food?
Some smart people rented land directly to clan giants, and then joined the army or did other things to earn a remuneration.
"Tuntian Order... who named it?" Ye Long touched his nose. He asked all the people to grow food, but it was different from the Tuntian Order.
This is a more powerful way of farming than the farming order.
Isn’t it nice to just sit still and collect grain?
"Uh, Liangye." Zhuge Liang smiled sheepishly.
Ye Long blinked at Zhuge Liang and said nothing.
He handed the matter over to Chief He Yu. It was obvious that Zhuge Liang did not trust any Chief He and intervened in the matter.
Chief He Yu, when Ye Long saw him for the first time, he knew that this boy from a poor family was by no means an ordinary thing, but a man of great talent.
It just so happened that Chief He Yu was here to put some pressure on the two clansmen of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, and create healthy competition so that they could exert 100% of their strength.
"Let the Dong Zhao brothers come in." Ye Long said.
"Here." Zhuge Liang nodded and walked out of the room.
At the moment Zhuge Liang left, Ye Long suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing in front of him, and a familiar aroma penetrated his nostrils.
"Xiao Wu!" Ye Long stood up with a roar, his face showing excitement.
"Prince..." Mai Shiranui's weak voice rang in Ye Long's ears.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Long asked in surprise.
