Chapter 29 Transformation

(Today is Monday, ask for a few red tickets from the big guys first, please!)

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, everyone was first confused for a while and digested the various policies thrown out so suddenly. Yan Chongxi, as Xiao Tianjian's first wise general, found the problem and asked Xiao Tianjian, "The general said today is good. At present, with our existing grain storage, but It's not enough to afford so many people to eat and drink, and it's winter now, and the local people have very little food in their hands. Even if we want to buy food locally with money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy so much food!"

Xiao Tianjian and Ma Shan nodded and said, "Brother Yan is right. It's the key to the problem!" That's why I didn't talk about our generals just now! Whether we can gain a foothold here this winter depends largely on you generals!

Don't forget, what do we do? If we rely on our grain storage alone, even if we add the grain obtained from Xiao butcher, not to mention the supply of so many craftsmen and miners to eat and drink, even if it is only supplied to the soldiers of our Xingtian Army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain it until the New Year!

So when I was thinking about these things, I didn't plan to live with our grain storage at all! You can think about it. The mountain to the west here is the area of Xiezhou, which is known as the Shanxi granary. Although it was plundered by all kinds of rebels the year before last, as far as I know, the rebels only made trouble on a small number of land boundaries, such as Xiezhou, Wenxi, Jiangzhou, Jiangxian, Quwo, Yicheng and other places, there are many gentry, these big There is a large amount of grain in every household. If we want to spend this winter and next spring, we can only go out of the mountain to grab a way! Ha ha!

So I'm afraid you can't be idle during the Spring Festival! I rely on you guys to grab food for me to make a living! I don't care who you rob, but as long as it's not from the territory of Yangcheng, not the poor people, whether it's grabbing food or kidnapping after you go out, as long as you get me back enough food for us to use!"

After listening to this, the generals suddenly laughed. Xiao Tianjian was right. They were originally from poles. Although they acted different from ordinary poles, in essence, they didn't make much difference at present. The reason why they developed to this point in the past year did not rely on grabbing. Do rich people develop like this? Just now, as soon as Xiao Tianjian said that he was not allowed to plunder the people in the local area, these guys fell into a strange circle of thinking and forgot their own behavior. Xiao Tianjian said that he was not allowed to harm the people in the local area, but he did not say that they were not allowed to go out of Yangcheng County to wash and plunder the rich people. When Xiao Tianjian reminded him, everyone understood. What should they do when they come down?

Thinking that Xiao Changshan and Zhao Datong lived here at the beginning, they mainly relied on looting outside to maintain their local expenses. If they only relied on the local search for the people, I guess they would not be able to raise so many people under their hands.

When Xing Tianjun first came here, before he solved the problem of self-sufficiency, it was obvious that this livelihood could not be released. At least before the harvest next summer, they still had to survive in this way.

"General! If we all go out to get food, who should be responsible for the guards here? After all, we only knocked off the two big local poles of Zhao Datong and Xiao Butcher. There are also Feng Tiancheng and many small poles everywhere. If we all go out to get food, we are sure that they will take advantage of it. In that case, won't we be in vain? Zhao Er donkey then raised another question.

"This matter is easy to deal with. Now we add new recruits, and the available troops are basically close to about 2,000. It is impossible for so many people to be sent out to fight for food. You are divided into two ways, stay in the local area all the way, and go out to fight for food all the way. In short, we need to maintain half of the troops here and take turns to go out, so that you can take turns to rest. Second, don't let the local poles take advantage of it!

Of course, the people who stay at home will not be idle. Shi Ran's scout team is also divided into two parts for the time being. Part of you and Situ take the brothers who cooperate with us to fight for food outside to provide information for our food team outside, and the rest of the scouts will be handed over to Li Lingfeng for local activities to find out the surrounding forces as soon as possible. Then tell them that either they leave here and find another way out, or simply turn to us and accept the reorganization! Otherwise! Humph! Do you think I will keep them here?"

Everyone immediately understood that Xiao Tianjian was going to uproot all kinds of local pole forces and completely control the area of Yangcheng County. It seems that the comfortable life of Feng Tiancheng and those small poles is coming to an end!

After seeing that everyone had no more doubts, Xiao Tianjian continued, "You have finally come here with me, and I, Xiao, have nothing to repay my brothers!"

Since Xing Tianjun became an army, my brothers have been born and died with me. In the past, what I wanted was just to eat and live, but this was not enough. At present, everyone is still single. Fortunately, we will live here in the future, and everyone will gradually have family affairs. We can't just let everyone eat. Skin!

So I plan to write down 20 mu of good land for each brother in the army. When the conditions are ripe in the future, we will also have a bigger territory. After the big guys have a wife, we will allocate it to the brothers so that the brothers can have a home and land, and they are no longer poor kids! I remember that Mencius has a cloud. Those who have permanent property have perseverance. If people don't have permanent property, they have no perseverance. Big guys follow me to try to live better. As long as everyone works hard, I, Xiao, will never treat my brothers badly!"

After listening to this, the generals were immediately overjoyed. To be honest, when Xiao Tianjian wanted to divide the land for the local people, some people felt a little sour in their hearts. Most of them were also farmers, and their desire for land was also very strong. Since Xing Tianjun became an army, he also There is no pay. Everyone can only accumulate some money by relying on their achievements. However, in the past, they have been wandering around and following Xiao Tianjian to fight in the south and the north. Now they have finally found a place to settle down. Seeing that they have land, they have to give it all to the people, but they have no share, it is difficult to protect some generals. The taxi will have no objection.

And now that Xiao Tianjian said this, it is obvious that they have already considered the soldiers of the Xingtian Army, so they have nothing to worry about. It seems that there is indeed a rush to follow Xiao Tianjian in the future. Sooner or later, they will share the land and start a family. Ye, Xiao Tianjian's words gave everyone hope again.

Of course, there is also a reason why Xiao Tianjian does not divide the land for his subordinates now. At present, the soldiers and generals under him are basically bachelors. Once the land is divided to them, they are busy taking care of their own fields. Who will follow him out to fight?

So at present, he can't give these soldiers and generals any land for them to cultivate for the time being. Only when he occupies more territory and controls more people, which is enough for him to choose soldiers from the people, can he divide the fields for these soldiers and generals. At that time, he will not have to worry about the problem of no soldiers available, only Only then can he take troops from the people and build a stronger army.

But now he still has to rely on the brothers at hand to work for him, and he still won't pay the military pay for the time being. If these guys want to marry and have children here, they can only rely on military merit to get a reward. The first to throw this promise is to stabilize the military heart of his subordinates, and each person will tentatively set 20 mu of good land. It has far exceeded the treatment of ordinary people. Although it is only an empty check at present, it also reassures the soldiers and generals. At least this has given them a head, and their life will definitely get better and better in the future.

Looking at the generals smiling one by one, Xiao Tianjian was relieved and began to assign tasks.

According to Xiao Tianjian's instructions, the Xingtian army soldiers were temporarily divided into two teams. The first team was temporarily led by Yan Chongxi. With Zhao Erlu and Li Shuanzhu, they were assigned 600 soldiers and 400 new soldiers. In addition, they were assigned 400 soldiers. The artillery team was equipped with five tiger squatting guns and two guns, and set up a full-time food team. It takes a month to go out for food, and then come back to rest.

Feng Gouzi, Luo Li, Liu Bao and others will stay in the local area and be responsible for leveling the poles of various small stocks nearby. At the same time, they are also responsible for maintaining the division of fields and providing protection for the newly established craftsman camp.

Fu Deming is responsible for the division of fields. Luo Yingjie and more than a dozen scribes who can write and calculate in the current Xing Tianjun began to divide the fields and register the population registration in the local area.

The newly established craftsman's camp was handed over to Zhang Chao. Originally, Zhang Chao was the chief officer of the military camp. He has been supervising the craftsmen, so this matter was handed over to him. The location of the craftsman's camp was located in the original village of Zhao Datong in Dongye Town. Although it had been swept away by Feng Tiancheng. It was also set on fire once, but the infrastructure is relatively sound, and there is also a tributary of the local Python River, which is close to several iron ore points and coal mines in Dongye Town. It has geographical advantages in establishing a craftsman's camp there.
