Chapter 334: Competition
At the beginning, Zhuzhu County was occupied by Zhou Shaoyu and Gao Xiujun respectively, and the county seat occupied by Zhou Shaoyu, Gao Xiujun was the opposite, but the population was half and only scattered.
As for the negotiations for an alliance or even a merger, the second time was not carried out, Zhou Shaoyu had already left.
Compared with Zhou Shaoyu's tax exemption and some ways to benefit the people, Gao Xiujun is much simpler and rude.
After all, even if Zhou Shaoyu lacks managerial talents, he is not a vegetarian, and Gao Xiujun, who was born in a general's family, is basically inseparable from the word 'martial arts'.
You may know a little about policy, but it's basically hearsay, and you know roughly what other people do. And the people under his hands are all big-headed soldiers, not to mention.
Let them go and lead a soldier, even if it is a battle, it is no problem, take care of internal affairs? All of them were confused.
So Gao Xiujun came to draw a scoop with a gourd, whatever system she has, she will get whatever system, as for tax exemption, it is impossible, Gao Xiujun does not have so much capital to feed so many people.
The money and things in her hands now are basically scraped out of the bandits, and it seems that there is still a lot, but there will always be a day when they will be eaten up.
As for the goods in the bandit village, Gao Xiujun did not sell them into cash or food.
At the beginning, her father was indeed in charge of the Xingwu Army in Xingwu County, but he only charged a proportional fee for traveling to and from the caravan, and there was no sales channel.
Zhou Shaoyu is interested in receiving it at a low price, but the goods in his hand have not been sold out now, so there is no hurry.
In fact, collect taxes on taxes, this is not a big deal, the world has been like this since ancient times, don't look at these years Chenghuizhou three don't care, no one collects taxes, but the mountain bandits and the like are not joking.
If Gao Xiujun can really protect their safety, the tax rate is not too high, and there will basically be no resistance.
But the problem is that the population under Gao Xiujun is not concentrated in the county like Zhou Shaoyu, but scattered everywhere.
Gao Xiujun didn't have talents who were good at internal affairs, and how could he manage it so scattered, thinking that he was basically a family with four walls and no property anyway, so he ordered people to gather and then redivide the land.
Hearing Li Xiuning say this, Zhou Shaoyu was happy, this order was simply his own death.
The concept of hometown and land is very important to farmers
However, don't say that in ancient times, even in later generations, there were many people who did not want to leave when they died.
As the saying goes, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel.
It is true that people are poor, but their ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years and are familiar with everything around them, and they are suddenly forced to leave, even if it is not very far, it is unacceptable.
Re-divide the land, who cares about this? After so many years, it doesn't matter who clears the wasteland, even if it is whom, it needs to be shared? God knows what kind of land it will be divided into, what the future will be, and whether it will be able to eat enough.
The people are not convinced, so they let people do this, and they can't see the tangible benefits, who is willing.
"It's a conflict." Zhou Shaoyu looked at Yang Miaozhen and Liang Hongyu, who were still playing, and said with a smile. As for the big soldiers, except for those who were on duty for the city defense, they all went back to the barracks to rest.
"Indeed, that Gao girl was also annoyed and ordered it to be enforced, and the contradiction was even greater." Li Xiuning nodded. "There is a village in Wangjiashan, there are more than 300 people, basically all of them are related to each other, and the resistance is very strong, and Miss Gao is also very tricky now."
Zhou Shaoyu frowned, and suddenly noticed a problem.
In ancient times, to a large extent, it was 'the family and the country', first the family and then the country, think about those gate valve families in ancient times, which one was not for the interests of the family first.
Further down, the clan clan, taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, assuming that a village is dominated by the surname Zhou, and the clan is rooted here, if any case occurs, what the yamen says may not work, and the law may not work.
What works is often the family law and family rules, as long as there is no chaos, the yamen will not care at all, so the power of the head of a clan is actually not small.
Continue on, small family.
The composition of a family is not the simplest family of three in later generations, the most common is that a grandfather is the head of the family, the uncle is the long house, the second uncle is the second room, and so on.
A large family is not separated, all the output is owned by the family, and it is distributed by the head of the family.
From the perspective of the common people, there is nothing wrong with this kind of unity, after all, it has been so since ancient times.
But from the ruler's point of view, it is definitely not a commendable good thing.
If you commit something or have any decrees, if you dare to move one, you will face a large family, and if you move a family, you will have to face a big family.
This is not bad, after all, people are more than a person, it has no impact, if it is a big family, then it is called trouble.
It is no wonder that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a generation of male lords, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, implemented the Tui'en Order, in order to divide 'everyone' into 'small families' and prevent the power from becoming large.
Of course, there are naturally benefits, such as Zhao Hui, the Minister of Agriculture appointed by Zhou Shaoyu, who is a large family of young and old, and now the implementation of the new method of planting is very smooth, because of the drive of a large family.
People look at it, so many of you are not afraid, and we are even more afraid, we have to be hungry and hungry together, but if you can really have a bumper harvest, then you will not make money.
This thing is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, the government decree is unimpeded, and if you don't use it well, don't talk about non-stop commands, it's good not to work against you.
Having said that, Zhou Shaoyu remembered that he had actually ignored a very important matter, there are indeed not many people in the county seat of Zhuzhu County, but they are also people, and they are also under their own control.
I actually forgot to establish a household registration system, how can this work, is it not convenient to manage at all?
Li Xiuning didn't know that Zhou Shaoyu's thoughts were so wide, she wasn't interested in internal affairs or anything, so she didn't bother to think about it.
"In short, I met Gao Xiujun twice later, she meant that she was a little anxious to merge, and she estimated that she was really not good at internal affairs, and we didn't have to make a move if we didn't make a mess, someone would resist, as for who would dominate after that, it was simple, one person on both sides would fight, and whoever won would dominate." Li Xiuning said lightly.
Zhou Shaoyu smiled dumbly, should it be said that she is worthy of being a tiger girl, such a big thing is to send someone to fight, who wins and who decides?
"You promised?" Zhou Shaoyu was happy, no wonder Li Xiuning would say that Yang Miaozhen came at the right time, after all, neither Li Xiuning nor Liang Hongyu was sure of winning Gao Xiujun.
"No, something that I am not sure of, it is estimated that she also deliberately ate this, so how can I agree casually, but now is a good opportunity."
Li Xiuning said, his eyes lit up a little, he didn't bother to say this again, and said directly: "What a fierce general, when will you get more war horses, cavalry is a good thing, and the time you need to practice is not short." ”
"Well, this, slow down, I can't remember, can you use a log to imitate a simple training." Zhou Shaoyu sweated profusely.
You must know that the current war horses were still bought from Meishanzhai, and they were originally those mountain bandits.
There are only a few horses in this total, and there are horses in Meishanzhai, but the southern horse is short and not suitable for war horses, and Zhou Shaoyu has nowhere to get this thing, and it is expensive.
