Chapter 341: Tian Yuan Forced and Cornered Teng (1)

Even if there was a threat from the Qi State in the north, Yue Wang Peng also understood that the battle of asking Mo Zhai for the crime must also be fought.

However, he also knew that he could only let the Mo family back down, but it was impossible to send troops directly to the Mo family's lair, after all, if he entered the Mo family's lair, it would be equivalent to a war against the Song family. The Mo family made it very clear in the letter that this battle was after Teng Kao Gong invited Mo Jiali and Teng to return to the country, not a war between the Song State and the Yue State.

At this time, Yue Guo was already at the point of being strong and strong, and Yue Wang Fei also understood that Tengdi was originally a remote place, but in fact, the interests of Yue Guo at this time were not very great.

However, the restoration of Teng means that a bunch of small countries in the Surabaya basin will have different ideas.

When Fucha was fighting for hegemony, he deposed the monarch of Zou State, and after Gou Jian destroyed Wu, he interfered in the internal affairs of Zou in the name of the cruelty of Zou Guojun, deposed the pro-Lu Zou Yin Gong, and supported Cao He, the son of Yin Gong, to ascend the throne, making Zou a vassal state of Yue State.

At that time, the pro-Qi state was destroyed by the Yue country when the Qi state was unable to interfere with the Yue people.

The Tan State, which was on the side of Qilu back then, was also destroyed by the Yue State.

Xiao Zou Guo Ni Guo, before Lu Hou drove to King Yue, he had already begun to pay tribute to Yue Guo.

Ji Sun's division from the state of Fei from the state of Lu, originally there were constant grievances between the state and the state of Lu, nominally a vassal state of the state of Lu, but the Ji Sun clan, who controlled the state politics of the state of Lu in the era of Zhongni, was separated from the state in exchange for no longer interfering in the internal affairs of Lu, so it was also in the tributary Yue country.

Now Yue Wang Peng understands that Yue Guo can no longer hold out in the north, but once the hegemonic system collapses, the contradictions within Yue will always erupt.

Teng Guo is an introduction to the general outbreak of internal contradictions in Vietnam.

If Teng was restored without retaliation from the Yue, the tributary and vassal states would soon not recognize the hegemony of the Yue.

In this way, the situation of the Vietnamese country in the north will be precarious, and there will be no choice but to shrink in an all-round way.

And once it shrinks in an all-round way and gives up the situation that the Goujian era has opened up in the north after a lot of hardships, the country will completely lose the opportunity to become a big country, and there will be no possibility of turning over.

This is the reason why Yue Wang Peng gritted his teeth. If it is just a small Teng State, its interests are not enough to risk the risk of Qi State's backstabbing to mobilize troops, but there are too many factors behind the small Teng State.

However, it is not easy for the army to go on an expedition.

The 30,000 troops went out on the expedition, and they also had to accompany a part of the peasants and soldiers to carry their baggage, and they also had to requisition a batch of rice along the Hangou, and they also had to recruit the local Yue people in Wuyue to go north to garrison Langya to prevent the Qi State from counterattacking.

All this will take at least a year.

After listening to the return of the eagle, Yue Wang Fei went to the idea of attacking Tengdi with 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the Yue Kingdom could not afford to lose, and another failure would bring a series of chain reactions.

…………

Teng Guo.

The new Tenghou Jite has taken the throne, and after hiring Shi Shibang, the second thing Jite did surprised the people of Tengdi.

After Ji Te entered the palace, because he had no money, he dismissed all the eunuchs in the palace, they all made a living from it, and they also served the Yue people when they were here.

At a rent of 20 taels per year, a part of the palace house was rented to the Teng State Inquiry Yuan, which was to be established, as the highest power center of the Teng State.

He knew his position very well, so he made the smartest choice.

In the rally seven days after the capture of Tengcheng, most of the people in the capital of Teng sent people.

The Mo family opened the treasury and checked the grain collected by the Yue Kingdom declared by everyone, and paid all of them. It's not that no one is opportunistic and overreported, but the number is extremely small, and a few have been reported, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This alone was a matter that the Mo family had long been accustomed to defending the city, and immediately won the hearts of the people of Tengdi.

During the seven-day waiting period for the assembly, the people who had followed from Pei County had already begun to repair the walls of Tengdi, and they had to be busy for a month before returning to Pei County before harvesting the wheat.

In the rally, while the Mo family won the hearts of the people, it was also because the local clans in Tengdi were basically wiped out, so the Mo family drew up officials at all levels according to the list drawn up by Pei County and the policy of Pei County, and at the same time retained some of the original Tengdi officials.

These Tengdi officials need to re-study for two years, and after two years, if they pass the assessment, they can continue to be officials, and if they are not qualified, they will be discharged.

As a prime minister, he drew up a three-year "military and political" phase, during which the Mo Shi took over all the power of Tengdi, mobilized the people and propagated ideas within three years, and then carried out the election of the political court and the selection of officials after three years.

Therefore, even if the Inquiry Yuan is established, it is completely different from the Song State - all the lists of the Inquiry Inquiry Yuan at this time are all Mo Zhi's own people.

Most of the officials were also assigned ink masters, and there were more than 200 cadres who were in charge of future policies such as land reform and the merger of villages and communities.

The only local official is Teng Shuyu, who has become a sheriff with a few people who specializes in managing the order of the market. Of course, this is also temporary.

During the rally, since the return of the collected grain has won the trust and support of the people, there is no need to use means such as Ximu Lixin.

After two days of assembly, it was directly announced that the law of Pei County would be used for the time being, and that it would become the written law of Teng State, and that after the end of the military and political period three years later, the law and policy would be decided after the election of the candidates for the Consultation Yuan.

Tengdi originally also implemented the secret law of the aristocracy, and even more so after the Yue people came, the political system of the Yue Kingdom naturally could not be compared with the Sanjin and Zheng in the Central Plains.

Subsequently, Shi also announced that the public land and the private land of the fugitive nobles would be auctioned on a voluntary basis, and all the money required for the auction would be returned within fifteen years.

A fixed number of landless people are preferred, and those with more businesses are allowed to buy and sell land, but only after the landless.

Tengdi does not need to curb mergers and other issues for the time being, and even now the handicraft industry centered on Peixian is developing rapidly, and a large number of laborers continue to pour into the city.

In the case of being able to own their own land, in the case of land tax, most people will not be willing to become craftsmen, which is inevitable, especially now that the average land is large.

This issue should be solved later, and there is no need to think about it for the time being.

The tax on public land will be exempted this year, and the land distribution will be completed by next year, and one-tenth of the land tax will be levied from next year, and the tax in kind will be levied for the time being.

During this period, Shi ordered the people of Tengdi to serve in labor, build city walls, and build fortresses in three places outside Tengcheng to deal with the possible counterattack of the Yue people.

During the construction of cities and fortresses, it was considered semi-mandatory, but the Mo family would pay a certain amount of Mo currency.

In the supply and marketing cooperatives set up by the Mo family, you can buy iron and salt, and you can also buy cattle and horses, as long as you have enough money.

During this period, a part of the grain will be paid from the government treasury, and at the same time, Pei County will collect a part of the grain and transport it, and repay it with next year's tax in kind as collateral.

Based on the thousands of people who have become accustomed to this kind of excavation work, the local people of Teng are organized, and this month is to familiarize them with this collective excavation and learn to use new tools.

More than 100 Mo families, plus some farmers who were recruited from Pei County and were familiar with the new planting techniques, would teach the techniques of the Tengdi people who had organized these organizations to build the city wall together for more than half a year.

Before planting winter wheat in winter, these people will also come forward to help, so that Tengdi can develop as quickly as possible, and at the same time complete the grassroots organization of the Mo family here.

In addition to these people who were specifically responsible for excavating and building the city wall, a team of 2,500 people was selected first, and Tengdi's righteous division was established to carry out full-time military training.

For the time being, the Mo family provided them with food and issued a certain amount of currency, which was actually equivalent to finding a new huge market for the Mo family's iron tools.

It's just that the money sent may not be able to afford it. And after the iron tools are released on credit, in addition to technological changes, the exchange commodity grain that Tengdi can provide will be greatly improved within a year, and in the end, the Mo family will still make money.

Moreover, starting next year, Tengdi will have to levy tithes, and in fact, after the land reform and agricultural reform are completed with the population of Tengdi, it will be more than enough to support 2,500 full-time soldiers...... Of course, musket cannons are not counted, otherwise they simply cannot be raised.

More than a month after becoming a prime minister was spent in extreme busyness.

Pei County planned to send cadres and personnel here to support, and he was to preside over such matters as surveying the land, selecting soldiers, surveying and mapping the city walls, and so on.

Fortunately, the talents cultivated in Pei County in the past few years are available, and they will not be so busy that they will break their hands and feet.

The more at this time, the more he knew that the Mo family wanted to succeed, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

He said that the successful revolution of the later generations was preceded by millions of middle and primary school students left over from the Beiyang era as the foundation, without whom it would be impossible to build the grassroots cadres needed for a perfect country.

Now the foundation of the Mo family, according to this kind of grassroots control, will also be developed in the Surabaya Basin. Otherwise, even if he wins the world, he will either be usurped by the nobles and the fruits, or he will be counterattacked by the nobles, he is very clear-headed, and he can't be fast but slow.

These Mo, who have been trained in Pei County for several years, and some young people from the academy, can master most of the things like measuring the land, and the overall progress is very smooth.

There is no need to redistribute the interests of the living to the detriment, and the land is either public land or the land of the fugitive nobles, or it is part of the Yue people's forced occupation.

Tengdi was close to the state of Lu, which was the first to implement the initial mu tax, and also close to the tyrant of Ji Sunshi, who was the first to implement the reform of private land, and there were many private fields that had already been recognized, and it was appropriate not to move them, so as to gain partial support from the emerging business landlord class to oppose the old aristocracy.

By the time the summer grain and wheat collection came, the "ownerless" land around the capital of Teng had been measured, the new angular and concave city walls had been tamped, and two new brick-making workshops had begun to fire bricks to strengthen the city walls.

At this point, Meng Sheng led most of the volunteers and those farmers who accompanied the army back to Pei County, leaving a brigade of volunteers responsible for maintaining local order, and at the same time took 2,500 Tengdi volunteers back to Pei County for training, and more than 400 Teng people who were unwilling to ask for land but were willing to become handicraftsmen.
