Li Zhongyi sent troops this time and brought with him several thousand wagons, which were more than 1,000 empty in addition to carrying military weapons, slaves of various ethnic groups, and grain and grass.

These empty cars are now in the hands of the Guards. Li Zhongyi ordered to set off overnight to catch up with the main force led by Yang Lie, and more than a thousand empty vehicles happened to come in handy.

The soldiers of the Guards tied their horses to the wheels, and all the personnel sat in the chariots with weapons, resting and hurrying at the same time, which not only saved physical strength, but also did not delay the journey, which was a real double win.

After about three and a half hours of pursuit, the pack horses were changed twice, and when the sky was just dawning, Li Zhongyi and Yang Lie met victoriously.

As soon as Li Zhongyi and the generals met, Yang Lie handed over a report, he took the report and flipped through it roughly, and found that it was a request for the release of slaves.

"Just after the army was dispatched, there were Goryeo slaves who made great contributions, but I really didn't expect it. It can be seen that as long as a way out is given and there is hope for them, even if they are of different races, they will be willing to be loyal to me. Li Zhongyi touched his chin, raised the corners of his mouth high, and knew that he was in a great mood at a glance.

Yang Lie has always been a man of few words, turned his head and glanced at Li Yanqing, the secretary of the Tongzhi Military Justice, Li Yanqing immediately understood, took the initiative to stand up, and saluted while beating his chest while reporting the details: "Master, according to the "Slave Release Order" signed by you, as long as the slaves of all ethnic groups captured by our army can be released as long as they serve with the army for ten years of auxiliary service with peace of mind. After serving for ten years, he can be released as a son of a good family......"

Li Zhongyi glanced at Li Yanqing, who had a straight face, as if he owed him eight million yuan per person, deliberately raised his hand to interrupt his words, and said angrily: "Li Yanqing, I'm not old and confused, so I don't need to memorize such detailed orders." Hurry up, if you have something to say, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten breakfast yet. ”

"Whoa." Li Yanqing agreed very well, but the speed of the report did not speed up in the slightest, "After investigation, Li Erdan, a Goryeo slave captured in the Second Kaijing Campaign, found five Khitan fine workers lurking in the woods on the way to get water, and he took the initiative to assist the throat camp to capture and kill the five fine workers together, and he was seriously injured. In accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 5, Paragraph 8 of the "Decree on the Release of Slaves", the following instructions are hereby requested: 1. Li Erdan, the release of Gaolinu, is the son of a good family, and he is supplemented as the commander of the auxiliary army battalion; Second, the reward of copper coins is consistent; 3. Give a pair of leather armor, please publicize it. ”

Good Gorino! Li Zhongyi was greatly satisfied, nodded, took a quill pen from the hand of his personal attendant with a smile, and signed the word "may" on the report with ink.

Li Yanqing took the approved report, but he didn't walk away immediately, and kept looking at Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi thought for a moment, then understood, picked up the small purple gold seal hanging on the jade rhino belt, and stamped the report, Li Yanqing accepted the report and retreated into the crowd.

The main reason why the labor enthusiasm of the slaves is not high is that they are slaves for one day and it is difficult to get rid of slavery for life. That is to say, life has completely lost hope, and all that is left is to linger and walk the dead.

Li Zhongyi knows very well that as long as there is hope, even if the proportion of freed slaves is actually insignificant, as long as the slaves have hope, they will not be lazy and grind foreign labor, or even take risks.

The temptation of thousands of pounds of city bones is clearly written in the "Slave Release Ordinance", waiting for those slaves who want to get rid of their tragic fate to take the bait.

Li Zhongyi disdained to deceive people, and the "Slave Release Ordinance" clearly listed that the proportion of slaves released each year should not exceed 1/1000 of the total number of slaves.

Those who make meritorious service first are released first, and they wait in line according to the chronological order of meritorious service, and the quota for freed slaves will be closed when the quota is full. Of course, a person like Li Erdan who has made great contributions enjoys the priority of being able to cut the queue.

The remaining meritorious slaves, unless they have made miraculous achievements, can be personally issued by Li Zhongyi to release the slaves, and the rest can only wait for the next year to recalculate the proportion of the number of people to be released.

There is competition, there is progress!

Happiness, in fact, is all contrasted!

Just imagine, when the Goryeo compatriots who were slaves together were still working hard to move bricks and dig the soil, Li Erdan, a meritorious person, could drink broth, lie in the tent and count the rewards, how far away is the treatment between each other?

I think that back then, when the Japanese army invaded China, the Goryeo soldiers who acted as two devils not only bowed down to the real devils, but also more than ten times worse than the real devils.

With Li Zhongyi's profiteer personality, since he knows the servility of the Goryeo sticks deep into the bone marrow, it is simply unthinkable if he does not make full use of it.

As a result, the "Slave Release Ordinance", which represented Li Jiajun's great goodwill, was personally written by Li Zhongyi, and after the senators collectively discussed and revised it, it was concocted in an extremely "civilized" way and widely disseminated among Goryeonu.

There is a Li Erdan today, and after Li Zhongyi immediately cashed in the reward, in the near future, hundreds of Li Erdan will surely emerge.

After the guards hastily ate breakfast, the entire Li family army spread out in three ways, fanning towards the great plain of thistle that was being sown in spring.

Surrounded by the guards, Li Zhongyi rushed to the front in front of everyone. When he was about to rush to the top of the field, Li Zhongyi turned his horse and aimed at the field where the seeds had been sown, and the horse accelerated and rushed over.

The sweat and blood BMW "blood killing", the place where the four hooves of joy rose up, the seeds that had been sown into the fields were mixed with the dust, and then they were swept into the air and scattered with the wind.

The vast majority of the officers and soldiers of the Guards were poor peasants, and they couldn't help but gasp several times when they watched their commanders so unscrupulously waste farming.

Some peasants, who love the land very much, can't help but close their eyes in pain, and can't help but turn their heads away, unable to bear to look directly at such a heinous act of destroying the land.

Li Zhongyi was already in the field, and the horse repeatedly destroyed several rounds, but he didn't see his subordinates rushing over. He was a little puzzled at first, but then he understood and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The people of the Celestial Empire, whether they were gentry, merchants, craftsmen, peasants, or vagabonds, as long as they had a little money in their pockets, in addition to saving money to marry a daughter-in-law and raise a son, the first priority was to buy a local owner.

The concept of buying some good land as a mute son has been passed down for thousands of years, and no one needs to publicize it at all, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Li Zhongyi flew back to the front of the soldiers, raised his arms high, and shouted: "You fools, don't open your dog eyes and take a closer look, think about it seriously, is that your field over there?" No, most of the grain that grew in the fields over there was taken and offered to the Khitans. After the Khitans had eaten and drunk enough, they brought swords and guns, rode horses, and went to the south to rob our grain, burn our houses, and take our wives and daughters......"

"When they are full, we are not fed and clothed; They are full of children and grandchildren, and we are separated from our wives; It is difficult for them to leave their homeland, but we are forced to leave our homeland, I want to ask you, do you all want to be slaves to the country? ”

Li Zhongyi could have directly ordered everyone to follow him to destroy the farmland, but instead of bluntly forcing everyone to carry it out, it was better to arouse the blood and courage of the soldiers and let everyone deeply understand that letting the enemy eat is the last word of being unkind to oneself!

"Swear to die and not be a slave to the country, kill all the Khitan dog thieves......" accompanied by wave after wave of roars, Li Zhongyi no longer needed to do any mobilization, and thousands of troops and horses poured down like a flash flood, rolling up stormy waves in the farmland where the seeds had just been sown.
