"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 777
It was raining heavily in Tongshan Mansion, and the peasants hid under the eaves to discuss fine wine. The topic soon shifted to the Qinghe Army and the New Deal, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
After all, the New Deal implemented by the Qinghe Army is of great benefit to ordinary people like them.
At least let them, the people who used to be tenants of wealthy and powerful families, have their own land to cultivate.
In addition, the Qinghe Army's new policy also reduced taxes a lot. In the past, the imperial court imposed various taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which made them work hard and often hungry when they were not ready.
However, the Qinghe Army's new policy redefined the tax law, instead of collecting taxes based on head counts in the past, they collected taxes based on the number of acres of land, and the taxes were quite small.
Many people who have many family members but have almost no land are also rejoicing, and their favorability for the Qinghe Army continues to rise.
In the past, the Southern Army slandered the Qinghe Army in various ways, saying that they were a bandit army that killed people without blinking an eye, and asked the people to resist.
Now that the common people have received benefits and benefits from the Qinghe Army, they naturally changed their views on the Qinghe Army.
"Master Du, what is the New Deal that the common people are discussing?"
In the heavy rain, a team of cavalry wearing black shirts and hats rode on horseback. A middle-aged officer was also quite curious and questioned the young officers walking side by side with doubts.
This young officer, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, looks heroic and extraordinary. It is Du Jian, the captain of Chen Ziang's personal guard.
"Brother Zhang, the New Deal is a new policy implemented by the general in the Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces. It changed the court's land and tax policies, and encouraged industry and commerce"
Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, was fascinated by Chen Ziang's side. Naturally, he was very familiar with the New Deal, so he introduced it proudly.
"It is precisely because the general promulgated the new policy that we won the support of the people and allowed us to quickly gain a foothold in Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province"
After hearing Du Jian's introduction, the middle-aged officer also had a general understanding of the New Deal.
"I didn't expect the general to have both civil and military skills. Not only is he good at leading troops to fight, but he is also so good at governing the local area." The middle-aged officer added a lot of admiration to Chen Ziang.
"Of course, our general knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. He is omnipotent."
Du Jian admired Chen Ziang so much, so he also praised him.
"If Yunshan Province can also carry out the general's new policy, we will definitely be able to open up the situation in Yunshan Province." The middle-aged officer said.
Although the main force of the Qinghe Army has been in Yunshan Province for so long, their living environment is actually quite harsh.
?Because the situation in Yunshan Province is complicated, there are not only rebels, southern army and other powerful enemies.
Moreover, the local powerful and wealthy lords in various prefectures and counties were also quite uncooperative, making it difficult for the Qinghe army to even collect food.
If it weren't for the frequent wars in Yunshan Province and the large number of exiles, they wouldn't even be able to recruit soldiers.
The most important reason is that the main force of the Qinghe Army in Yunshan Province only knows how to lead troops to fight, but does not know how to govern the place.
Although they occupy Lingchuan Mansion and other places now, their ideology is still the ideology of refugee warfare. In addition, various internal conflicts are frequent, and they have no time to govern the place.
Therefore, although they occupied areas such as Lingchuan Prefecture, they did not win the support of the people and could not gain a firm foothold because they only recruited troops and levied food and did not benefit the people at all.
The situation of the rebel army Yang Hao is similar. They have no idea of ????governing the local area at all, because they can only destroy and not build.
Yang Hao and the others are also from the fourth prince's side. Although they say they don't know how to build, the local rich and powerful will still support them.
But the Qinghe army is different. They don't know how to govern the local area, and the local rich and powerful don't support it, so they have been in a difficult situation in the local area for so long.
Now the Qinghe Army's food collection in the local area is almost always compulsive, because if it is not compulsory, everyone will be hungry.
This Qinghe Army officer from Yunshan Province heard about the New Deal implemented by Chen Ziang, and immediately realized that it was a good thing.
If they can also implement the New Deal in Yunshan Province, they will definitely be able to change the status quo.
"This matter has to be discussed in the long run, there is no rush."
Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, also knew that the basis for Chen Zi'ang's implementation of the New Deal was strong force.
Without the backing of powerful force, only those rich and powerful gentry who rely on clan relations in the local area are enough to prevent their New Deal from being implemented.
The Yunshan Province is still fighting, and the various forces are competing for the game. If the Qinghe Army implements the New Deal, it will definitely offend a large number of wealthy and powerful people.
At the same time, the chaos of war will also cause the New Deal to be interrupted at any time. There is no stable environment around, and the Qinghe Army may be defeated at any time.
Those country gentry might make a comeback at any time. I am afraid that even if the Qinghe army distributed the land to the people, they would not dare to take it.
Of course, another important reason is that Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province are now implementing new policies, which are top-down, and Chen Ziang's orders can be implemented to the end.
However, there is still a commander in Yunshan Province. Whether he is interested in the New Deal and whether he is willing to implement it will determine whether the New Deal will succeed.
Surrounded by this team of drenched cavalry, Du Jian and the officer from Yunshan Province walked and talked, and soon arrived at the gate of an inconspicuous house in Tongshan Mansion.
"Lord Du!"
? Seeing Du Jian's arrival, the guards guarding here all saluted in unison.
"Where's the general?" Du Jian asked.
"Reporting to Master Du, the general received Master Cao, Director of the Military Judiciary Department, in the west parlor."
"I see." Du Jian nodded.
"The general is receiving guests. We are not in a hurry to go there. We are completely soaked. Let's go change our clothes first."
Du Jian greeted the middle officer to go to the side courtyard, where the Qinwei Banner Battalion rested in shifts.
After changing out of his soaked clothes, Du Jian led the middle-aged officer through the corridor and waited outside the west hall.
The downpour turned into fine drizzle, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard were washed clean by the rain, and the air was filled with the smell of earthy fragrance.
Du Jian and the others waited outside the west hall for about half an hour, and then Cao Shaowei, Director of the Military Justice Department, came out.
"I have met Mr. Cao."
Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, saw the pale and frightening Cao Shaowei, got up and saluted, and the middle-aged officer also got up and saluted.
Cao Shaowei glanced at Du Jian and the handsome middle-aged officer with his icy eyes, nodded slightly, did not speak, and immediately strode away.
"I feel that this lord's eyes are so scary. When he looks at it, it feels like he has been seen through." Seeing Cao Shaowei leaving, the middle-aged officer said with lingering fear.
"He is the chief of the Military Justice Department, the chief military judge, try not to provoke him."
After Du Jian said a word, he took the middle-aged officer into the west parlor. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
