Chapter 403 We may be defeated!

Wang Shengyi was serious and came to denounce the traitor and scolded the rebels... But when he came out of Minglun Hall, he felt a sense of loss.

He sat in the carriage and looked outside.

Many young students came out in teams to help carry rolling wood and stones, piled them on the top of the city, and strengthened their defense... In addition to the students, what surprised Wang Sheng was even more the woman!

Yes, there are many women who sing songs, drive carriages, carry food and weapons, and build rows of houses on the open space to accommodate the wounded.

They smiled and yelled, and no one was afraid of the celestial soldiers being in danger of being burned.

The 150,000 army mentioned by Wang Sheng is not worth mentioning at all.

The entire Xi'an has become a large army camp.

What's going on?

Could it be that these people have all been attacked by evil magic?

Or do they naturally like to commit rebellion and rebel against the court?

Wang Sheng suddenly felt absurd. Is it wrong for everyone to know that people are inherently good at the beginning? Or, there is such a place where poor mountains and bad waters are all unlucky people?

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng became even more confused.

This is Chang'an, the former capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the land of the Three Qins!

The heavy loess under your feet gave birth to the most glorious moments of the Han family.

The iron cavalry set out here defeated the Huns and the Turks... What a prosperous era it was for the farming nation to truly defeat the nomadic robbers!

Even if you think about it now, it makes you excited and proud.

But just like this treasure land, why are there so many crazy people? Why?

Wang Sheng shouted, confused. He stayed in the inn and Zhu Di would arrange someone to send him away tomorrow. It was not that Zhu Di wanted to keep him, but that he was worried that someone of his subordinates would attack and kill Wang Sheng. After all, this guy scolded people too hard!

...

"First, sir... I'm asking for a visit."

There was a sound of the door being pressed outside. Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment, but he stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, it was a student Jiang Cai who saw a casserole in his arms, and there was still heat on it.

Wang Sheng scoffed and mocked, "Why, I want to use these small favors to attract me to surrender? I am different from you shameless things! Don't waste your time!"

Wang Sheng waved to drive Jiang Cai away.

"Sir, wait, today is your birthday. Can you let your disciples give me some filial piety?"

Wang Sheng hesitated for a while and did not agree, but turned his head and went in. Several years of master-disciple relationship were one of his most satisfied disciples, but who would have thought that he would have come to this point!

well!

Wang Sheng wanted to persuade his disciples to turn back, but he couldn't find any words.

Jiang Cai put the large casserole on the table, lifted the lid, and immediately emitted a strong aroma from it. It was a pot of soft and rotten stewed lamb, the best lamb, the skin is fragrant and tender, and the stew is just right, making people drool.

Jiang Cai smiled and said, "Sir, today is your fiftieth birthday! In the past, my disciple wanted to help me celebrate my birthday, but my disciple had no money and couldn't buy anything. But my disciple, whenever I had food, I would ask my disciple to come over. I was so ashamed!"

Wang Sheng snorted, "You still remember it! I don't ask for your repayment, but you can't be willing to follow the thief! Yan Ni occupied Xi'an, so you should go home and wait for the heavenly soldiers to destroy the thief. Now you accept Yan Ni's gift, and you will be implicated in the future! Do you understand? Also, will you be happy to take what Yan Ni gave you to Master to celebrate his birthday? My disciple of Wang Sheng has never seen the world. He bought you a pot of mutton. You are slapping Master in the face!"

Wang Sheng was heartbroken and kept stomping his feet, gritting his teeth in anger. He was such a bastard, so embarrassing and shameless... The old man kept shaking his head, not raising a godfather's fault, and not being strict with his teacher's laziness, it seems that he was wrong!

If Yan Ni had entered the city at that time, he did not go to Yingtian to complain, but stayed and dealt with Yan Ni... or, he might as well sacrifice his life for justice and hit him to death. With his own example, his disciples would not have made a big mistake.

"Oh! I am a teacher!"

At this time, Jiang Chuo had already found a bowl, served the mutton, and presented it to the master with both hands.

"Sir, this is not from the King of Yan, but from the disciple. My father heard that the teacher was back, so he asked me to send it to the teacher."

"Your father? When can you afford to raise sheep for others?" Wang Sheng said politely.

Jiang Cai nodded, "That's right, it's the sheep from the Qin Prince's Mansion, and His Highness Yan Prince gave it to him..."

"What's the difference?" Wang Sheng was stunned. "Zhu Di is so brave. Isn't he afraid that the King of Qin and his team will fall apart with him?"

"Don't be afraid!" Jiang Cai said confidently: "The three guards of the King of Qin all listened to the King of Yan. They said that the King of Yan is better to everyone and much better than the King of Qin!"

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Ceng raised more than 100,000 sheep, and sold wool every year, making a lot of money. Later, with Liu Chun's guidance, Zhu Ceng's breeding scale continued to expand, reaching 300,000 at its peak... And with Zhu Ceng's death, the wool business could not continue.

The ranch of the Qin King's Mansion also fell into decline, with half of the sheep missing.

After Zhu Di took over, he directly occupied the ranch in the royal palace and distributed it to the people of no land and little land. As for the sheep, Zhu Di also distributed it to the people according to households.

"It's not strange to buy people's hearts with property and property. Rebels from all generations will do this! If Zhu Di touched the King of Qin, wouldn't he be afraid that Zhu Shangbing would turn against him?"

"Maybe! But King Yan is just not afraid! Because Prince Yan has distributed the land in the royal palace again!" Jiang Cai's eyes shining and he said proudly.

The fields on the pasture are far apart, and the real good land is in the hands of the Qin Palace, with more than 300,000 mu of them. The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, so it is not difficult to accumulate land, but the northwest is short of water, and there is no irrigation water source even if there is fields.

You should know that fields with sufficient water can increase yield by half compared to those without irrigation.

After Zhu Chuang occupied the land, he mobilized his three guards to dig canals and irrigate the land of the royal palace... but his fields were irrigated, and the fields of military households were not only not irrigated, but also had to bear twice the tax on the land of the people!

Zhu Di directly gave the fields of the royal palace to ordinary soldiers... and Zhu Di also dispersed and reorganized the original three guards... All the soldiers who took the fields gathered together and selected those who could convince the public, serving as the general banner, hundreds of households, thousands of households, and commanders... In this way, the original three guards of the royal palace could all be replaced.

The original generals left their familiar subordinates, and the original soldiers climbed to the position of leading the troops to fight. In order to settle in a new position, they must work hard to be loyal to the King of Yan, and in order to protect the land they obtained, the soldiers had to fight to the death!

"Sir, this time I split the land, my mother also got the land!"

"Your mother? How can she have land as a woman? It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!"

Jiang Cai did not argue with his husband, but continued: "My mother followed my father to work during the day, and took time to help the soldiers in the army to put soles of the shoes at night. She couldn't sleep for two hours a day, but she was just motivated. Not only her, but many women were like this! They also said that they wanted to form a detachment of women. Whoever wanted to enter Xi'an would die!"

...

"Crazy, all crazy!"

Wang Sheng was speechless. Not only did the ruler and ministers in the northwest have been corrupt, but even the couples have changed their taste. Since ancient times, men have farmed and weaved, and men are the best for women. In addition to dowry, all the things in this family belong to the husband's family.

How can a woman give her land? Does the court still collect land taxes from women? All the officials in the court took the grain collected from women and turned into rice... What kind of words do this mean? Will people live?

Wang Sheng was extremely angry. Before dawn, he was about to leave this ghostly land quickly... In the dim morning light, Wang Sheng came out of Xi'an and headed straight for Li Jinglong's camp.

But right at the gate of Xi'an, he found that many people were actively driving the carriages and sending heavy grain into the city. There were also many young and strong people who formed a small team and kept shuttled around, telling the King of Yan about the every move of the official army.

In addition, there are some gentry and landlords who will be urged by the people if there is any abnormal movement.

The men are busy, and many of the work in the fields falls on the shoulders of women. This time no one complains or retreats. Women in the northwest can also support the sky above their heads!

If you have been to Daning, Wang Sheng would definitely be familiar with it. This scene could be seen everywhere in Daning a few years ago, and it was not surprising. Zhu Di just used what Liu Chun did in Daning in Xi'an and the land of Sanqin.

In fact, Daning's success has inspired the reformists. Everyone thinks that they can follow Daning and create miracles as well... But when they really do it, the first problem they encounter is how to treat women.

Liu Chun had a slogan at the beginning, saying that women are used as men and men are used as animals... It sounds vulgar, but it reveals an ironclad fact that Liu Chun regards women, which account for half of the population, as real labor. It is a completely different concept from the traditional way of being the male lead outside, the female lead inside, and not leaving the door without going out...

Therefore, Liu Chun got double the labor force at once.

This point can basically be done in Daning and Liaodong, and even Peiping will be boycotted, let alone other places. This is just a problem, and there are more other difficulties.

To be honest, the quality of the reformists is also mixed. Fortunately, they have not been in the officialdom for a long time, and Liu Chun is still under his care, so there are not many mistakes.

If Lao Zhu lived for another five years, perhaps only three years... the reformists would have a lot of people... There is no doubt that in history, those who supported the reform finally stood opposite to the reform. There are countless examples of this. There are too few people who can end up together, which is also the reason for the difficulty of reform.

If Zhu Di had not been forced into a desperate situation, he would not have used such fierce means, which would have completely exceeded the scope of reform...

"Maybe that little brat wants to get to this point! Are you dead or alive? Get out of here and let me punch you three hundred times!" Zhu Di bit his teeth.

At this moment, Liu Chun was following the groom and leading Wang Sheng and his group of horses. As soon as he turned around, Liu Chun seemed to hear Wang Sheng mutter to himself: "We may be defeated!"
