It only took more than an hour for Li Shushi, who had besieged Dong'e City, to force the other party to pull the white flag. Of course, Li Shushi had the right to dispose of the post-war spoils, and he had no opinion on this.
The soldiers in Dong'e City who had caused a lot of trouble to Bu Ji were swept away by Li Shushi, and there was not one left for Bu Ji.
Leave the people to the other party to pick and choose, anyway, whether it is for himself or not, Li Shushi can only produce the Yellow Turban Army. Because even if Cheng Yu surrendered, he did not forget to destroy those talismans in the palace.
In fact, Li Shushi has always avoided the excessive number of Yellow Turban Army under his subordinates, and he has never stopped diluting the color of the Yellow Turban Army on his body. However, in view of the strong combat effectiveness of his troops, Zhang Jiao can be regarded as acquiescing to this small action.
In general, the people did not suffer much loss except that they needed to leave their homeland to go to the battlefield with Zhengbuji and Li Shushi, but under Li Shushi's distribution, they were able to return to their hometowns and obtain a piece of cultivated land.
Presumably with the people, the suffering of those landlords and powerful people was much more miserable. Raiding the house is definitely light, if you usually take a bit of it, under Li Shushi's secret instigation, many people will come out to counterattack, and the attack is definitely cleaner than Li Shushi. They were afraid that after Li Shushi left, the landlords would take back the land they had just acquired.
Therefore, even if Li Shushi is just a rogue in the eyes of the imperial court, but as long as the land policy is right, in the eyes of the people, maybe Li Shushi's troops are the Aishang novel network they expect. I have to say that standing on the shoulders of history is cool.
Of course, the landlord class cannot be killed completely, and Li Shushi has no intention of becoming a class enemy. For example, Xue Fang, who is very famous, escaped this time with his huge prestige. And compared with those who were dismembered, they were able to completely preserve their family's real estate, and the real estate must be properly managed after the war, and the richest man in Dong'e should have no problem.
I have to say that although Bu Ji's character is debatable in Li Shushi's opinion, under his constraints, the military discipline of the Yellow Turban Army is not bad. At least it is much stronger than the mountain bandits in Yuzhou, perhaps because of the close relationship to Zhang Jiao.
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers took out the spoils of war after the war and then took them out for consumption, and this massive consumption power suddenly boosted the ruined economy of East Arben. The direct result of this is that the number of volunteers who joined the army made Bu Ji smile from ear to ear, and even his face was much better for Li Shushi, the person who came up with the idea.
I'm afraid that the only depressed living person in the entire Dong'e City here is Cheng Yu, who is now trapped in Li Shushi's array, oh no, he should still be called Uncle Cheng Li now. This uncle, who originally planned to kill himself, was threatened by Li Shushi with Xue Fang's net worth, and then looked at the landlords who were exterminated by the speculative family, so he could only reluctantly accept Li Shushi's conditions and join the den of thieves.
The only thing that Li Shushi regretted was Cheng Yu's strategist troops. In this era, we have to admit that the popularization rate of knowledge is so low that even the western mountainous areas of modern China may not be able to fight hard. Of course, compared to the European Middle Ages, that was more than enough. Cheng Yu is also a high-achieving student who graduated from a "famous school", so his subordinates are all savers who can afford the tuition.
A large part of these people have already been dealt with by the red-eyed people, and it is obviously impossible for the remaining kittens to join Li Shushi's army, which is almost labeled as a "class enemy".
"I said Uncle Zhongde, don't you cry like this, look at the current Dong'a, aren't there a lot of heartfelt smiles on the faces of the people? Anlaanla~ Redistributing the wealth that was originally concentrated in the hands of a few people and then stimulating consumption is the best plan for national stability, otherwise a large amount of wealth concentrated in the hands of a few people can only bring social instability. β
"Although some of the words are not understood, what you say is not unreasonable. But you have to be clear that a family will never exist independently in this world, and I am afraid that as soon as you walk on the front foot, the families in other regions will settle accounts with these people. β
Seeing Li Shushi's approach, Cheng Yu also had to admit that this method is very easy to win the hearts of the people. Moreover, compared with those illusory righteousness, this means can win the support of the people more and will not be lost because of the change of rulers.
"Haha, do you think that when you get something, an unrelated person comes to you and asks you for it and you will return it to that person, even if it doesn't belong to you in the first place. The people have already received the sweetness, human nature is greedy, and in order to protect the benefits they have received, the energy burst out of those who have lost hope in life is absolutely terrifying. β
Seeing that Cheng Yu was about to refute, Li Shushi shook his hand at him, took a sip of water and continued.
"And tell you the truth, this time the Yellow Turban Army made trouble, which was actually planned by the adult in Luoyang. Don't be in a hurry to refute me, I'll do the math for you, and it's not too late to give your opinion when you've heard the results of my calculations. β
Seeing Cheng Yu's anal fissure, oh no, Uncle Ganglie seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Shushi's slander against the emperor, and Li Shushi had no choice but to use the authority of the lord to suppress the other party's dissatisfaction.
"Let's talk about the losses caused by the Yellow Turban Army unrest this time. You see, for the imperial court, the main loss is the taxes, conscription and related income in the war-torn areas during the war, as well as the loss of grain, grass and equipment consumed during the war, and of course, the pensions and rewards for soldiers after victory, and the taxes and benefits lost in the feudal fiefs after the promotion of generals. β
Cheng Yu thought about it, nodded in agreement with Li Shushi's statement, and added: "The pacification of the displaced people caused by the war." β
"That's right. Then let's calculate the income of the imperial court. Those local officials put a large amount of grain, grass and money into private treasury, which the imperial court could not obtain, but after the war subsided, whose treasury did the money go into? β
Cheng Yu just wanted to refute, but suddenly thought of the staggering amount of private treasury of the county magistrate of Dong'e, who had already fled, and suddenly wanted to say the rebuttal stuck in his throat. Don't forget, he and Xue Fang did it together to rob the county magistrate's private treasury to replenish the military. Seeing that Cheng Yu, who originally wanted to refute, was suddenly silent, with a somewhat depressed look, he also guessed the probability.
"It seems that there is such a situation in Dong'e County, so don't tell me that the property in the private treasury will belong to the new local officials. It was the imperial court, because these assets that had not been registered in the first place would be the spoils of war after the war, and they would naturally belong to the imperial court. Many local families have also been killed by these Yellow Turban Army, so who does their land and treasure belong to? Or the imperial court. Even if it is divided by us, the imperial court will be able to obtain more taxes and population than in the hands of the powerful people, so whether it is to appease the people or increase taxes, the imperial court will recognize these fait accomplis, right? β
Seeing Cheng Yu's face gradually changing a little, Li Shushi was in a very happy mood at this time, and the big flicker was really invincible.
"In addition, the court also has a very good source of wealth, which is the various captives obtained after the victory, whether they were originally soldiers belonging to the Yellow Turban Army, or the people who were carried around, or soldiers of the court. Most people with no background will become domestic slaves, and domestic slaves also need to be bought. Especially after the baptism of this turmoil, even for self-preservation, each family must work hard to strengthen their own dock forts and cultivate more private soldiers and village warriors. In this way, the court made a small profit from it. Therefore, the imperial court may have lost a little at that time, but it did not lose much. As long as the land obtained after the war can be utilized, the imperial court will not lose money. β
Cheng Yu didn't expect Li Shushi to settle accounts like this, and his surprise was overflowing: "I didn't expect the lord to be so good at calculating, if you go to be a businessman, maybe all the shops will be closed." Zhong De respected. β
I looked at Cheng Yu with a smile: "Uncle Zhongde, you don't understand business at first glance." There is a saying that 'it is difficult to make a forest alone', and if all the shops are closed, I will not be far from closing. β
Seeing that Cheng Yu was successfully crippled, Li Shushi lost no time in continuing to attack.
"All of the calculations I've mentioned above aren't immediately apparent, and many projects take a decade or more to become apparent. However, I am afraid that if there is a major upheaval in the imperial court during this period, it will not only need to increase more expenditures, but also worsen the country's finances, which were already on the way to improve. Therefore, the one from Luoyang made a risky move. β
Although Cheng Yu is just a scholar and is not good at financial issues, he is keen on politics Cheng DΓΉ Li Shushi, an otaku, can't catch up. So he nodded without hesitation and agreed with Li Shushi's statement.
"And I don't know if Uncle Zhongde has heard of Tongyuan in Jingzhou and Li Yan in Bingzhou." Li Shushi continued to play his cards.
"These two are all loyal and righteous people of my Han Dynasty, but it's a pity that the sky is not a holiday, otherwise they are all generals comparable to General Fei."
I have to say that this is really unexpected by Li Shushi, I didn't expect Cheng Yu to be a fan of Old Man Tong and his cheap grandfather. Seeing Cheng Yu's eyes glowing, Li Shushi suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he didn't say what he said before.
"Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong outside the door are Mr. Tong Yuan's personal disciples, and they are the heirs of the mantle that Mr. Tong Yuan is looking for for his junior brother Li Yangong. Speaking of which, Zhang Jiao came to help Zhang Jiao this time, and Old Man Tong nodded and agreed. β
Hearing Li Shushi's words, Cheng Yu was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly.
"My lord, there is no need to say these words. Now that I've decided to follow you, I won't go back, and you don't have to say these things. β
"Don't you believe it?"
"No, I just think that once the lord's approach is known by someone with a heart, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Li Shushi patted Cheng Yu's back vigorously, of course, he originally wanted to pat his shoulder. "Uncle Zhongde, we can absolutely trust it. So, I'll ask Uncle Zhongde for more advice in the future. β
"Thank you for the trust of the lord, and the work of dogs and horses will be effective." Cheng Yu is also a very interesting person.
But speaking of which, there is now a warlock in Li Shushi's array, a horseback strategist, a strategist, and a troublesome tsundere Lori who doesn't know what profession it is, but is suspected to be very powerful. In this way, it seems that there is a lack of a Taoist priest in the civilian army, which more or less makes Li Shushi look forward to Jia Xu even more.
