With heavy armor on his body, the casualties were not very heavy.
Except for a dozen who were stabbed in the face and died on the spot, most of the others were only slightly injured, but the prisoners suffered a lot of casualties.
Li Yue can't handle it alone.
In the afternoon, Yue Ji led people down the mountain. In addition to the thirteen of them, there were also the skilled women on the mountain.
Also going down the mountain was Zhou Qian.
Without waiting for Li Yue's instructions, everyone went about their own business.
Yue Ji led people to treat the wounded, Zhou Qian counted the population and fields, and Li Yue comforted the city.
Zhou Qian was the most efficient. With a hundred people, he could complete the count in two hours.
"There are more than 8,700 entrances in Jijiabao, with 23,000 acres of fields. The crops in the fields have grown. There are 45 cattle, mules, and donkeys, 431 sheep, and 2 dogs and hogs. Twelve, and the remaining chickens, ducks and geese are more than 1,300. In addition, there are 28 sets of iron armor, more than 1,300 sets of leather armor, 2,000 spears, 1,700 ring-headed knives, and the most bows and arrows. , 3,400 bows and nearly 50,000 arrows."
It's amazing how detailed it is.
Zhou Qian added: "The population and land are listed in the household registration, and my subordinates have not yet left the city to make detailed measurements."
"It's enough." Li Yue was very satisfied with his efficiency, and he was worthy of Zeng Jin's county official.
Zhou Qian reminded: "The general sent gold, silver, money and silk, how can the soldiers reward him? There are quite a lot of complaints in the army."
They are not allowed to slaughter the city, they are not allowed to plunder, they are not allowed to touch women, and there are no rewards. Of course the soldiers will have objections.
Soldiers these days are not good men and women.
The sentence "Drive out the Jie slaves and restore our mountains and rivers" is not enough. Not everyone is so noble, and many people come here just to burn, kill, rape and plunder.
Human nature has upper and lower limits. If you don't follow human nature, how can others be willing to sacrifice their lives?
Li Yue had already thought about this issue clearly last night.
The strongest relationship is the bundle of interests.
And interests are also divided into short-term interests and long-term interests. Rewarding them with gold, silver, money and silk is short-term interest, and this is not a good habit. In the future, fierce battles outside the city, what should I do if there is not so much money and silk rewards?
Fighting for money is not a long-term solution. If someone else offers a higher price, wouldn't the soldiers immediately switch sides?
Besides, what is the use of gold, silver, money and silk these days?
Even if you can buy things, they are horribly expensive. Affected by the floods, the price of one liter of grain in Hebei has risen to two taels of gold!
So the most direct wealth is land!
Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. In order to protect the land they have obtained, they will fight with the Jie people until the sky is dark and the earth is dark.
"Divide the fields!" All Li Yue could offer was land.
Eighty percent of the land in Jijiabao belongs to Ji Yong personally, and the remaining 20% belongs to the Ji family. People with other surnames are basically serfs. It is good to get 10% of the harvest.
"The general is a man of great talent and strategy!" Different from the previous flattery, this time the admiration in Zhou Qian's eyes was extremely real.
In fact, these are not innovations. Wu Qi divided the land among Wei Wuzu, and the Qin State farmed and fought to establish the country. They all played like this, "Heiyun Mountain soldiers and scouts each have ten acres, and the land tax is divided into 50 and 50."
"Fifty-fifty?" Zhou Qian frowned.
Li Yue thought he had collected too much. He had to pay half of each soldier's harvest, which was already a heavy tax.
Zhou Qian cupped his hands and said, "It's too high. I think three or seven is appropriate."
Zhou Qian is undoubtedly an expert in this regard, "Three-seven is just three-seven. We collect 30% of the land tax every year, which is enough."
Li Yue, Cui Jin, Wei Shan, Zhou Qian, there are only four leaders in total, plus Bo Wu, the burden on Heiyun Mountain is not big.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qian's eyes turned strange, "I mean the people, the three officials, and the seven."
Li Yue looked at him blankly, which was a bit cruel.
Zhou Qian explained: "The world was in chaos. Murong Xin rose up in Liaodong, established Qiaojun, appointed eight officials and two taxes, and the people in Hebei abandoned Wang Jun and Cui Ao and their likes and joined Murong Xianbei. Murong grew from this. Shi Le destroyed Wang Jun. , ordered to read Shizhou County, stipulating that each household should pay two pieces of silk and rent two husks of dendrobium every year, which is only three officials and seven jins. Compared with the Jin Dynasty, the annual rent of four husks of dendrobium, three pieces of silk, and three kilograms of cotton was greatly reduced. People in Hebei are all attached to it. Today, the general's land is only a hundred miles away, and there are more than ten thousand people. Although light corvee and small gifts can win over people's hearts, they accumulate too slowly, which is a big disadvantage. Moreover, the general's tax of thirty-seven is already the highest in the world and cannot be reduced any further."
Li Yue really simplified the problem. There were not only these soldiers and scouts on the mountain, but also the old, weak, women and children. "Thank you, Chang Shi, for teaching me."
The evaluation of Zhou Qian in my heart has reached a new level. Although he is not a mastermind of strategizing, he is very good at practical work. He takes care of everything in an orderly manner.
Zhou Qian returned the gift, "This is my duty as a subordinate."
As soon as the news of the land division was released, the soldiers and scouts all became excited.
Those who live in Heiyun Mountain with no food to eat, not to mention farmland, and no clothes to wear are truly abject poverty.
Even their people used to belong to the leaders and were driven at will, no different from cattle and horses.
Now that we have land, we have a home, and we have stronger cohesion.
Li Yue actually used fields to tie people up.
"The general is our reborn parent!" More than a dozen old soldiers knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, and the eyes of the young soldiers also shone with tears.
Even if you shout ten thousand slogans, they will not be as effective as these ten acres of thin farmland.
And now, they also know who is really good to them.
"There is no future, only ten acres of land. When we regain our homeland, we will be allocated more." Li Yue looked at these ragged people, filled with emotion in his heart. Opening the thick history books, our tribe seems to have always been in a state of insecurity. Hungry and cold.
There are very few dynasties that have enough food and clothing...
For ten acres of land, 70% of the land tax will be paid.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, one acre of good land produced about 260 kilograms of beans and millets annually, and the grain that fell into their hands in a year was only 600 to 700 kilograms. A strong man without high-calorie supplementary food such as meat and fish would consume at least 100 kilograms of beans a day. Two to three kilograms of grain...
In other words, you have to live by tightening your belt all year round.
Although there are few fields, the impact on them is unprecedented.
The soldiers' eyes turned red, "Drive out Jienu and restore our mountains and rivers!"
"Drive out Jienu and restore our mountains and rivers!"
The whole Wubao was shouting wildly, more sincerely than ever before.
They now truly understand the meaning behind these eight words.
Whether it is fighting or farming, we must stimulate people's enthusiasm, that is, liberate productivity.
Now the fields are theirs and the war is theirs, so naturally everyone has to pay for it.
After all, Li Yue had read books for several years and knew that any force that wanted to rise must make a fuss about the land.
"We are also willing to follow the general to drive out the Jie slaves and restore our country!" The people from Jijiapu also came after smelling the smell, their eyes shining.
"Go, go, you cowards are worthy of it!" the veterans of Heiyun Mountain said with disdain.
"Who said we are cowards? If we hadn't been unwilling to follow Ji Yong and surrender to the enemy, would you have been able to enter Jijia Fort?"
"I bother!"
The two sides quickly faced each other. The people from Jijiabao were using their bare hands, while the people from Heiyun Mountain were carrying knives.
In fact, Li Yue was quite satisfied with the people in Jijiabao. He almost wiped out all the 800 elite Di people in Fangtou. Although it was an ambush, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
What Li Yue appreciates most is their bloody nature.
