Chapter 320 Sixty Mile Fort Development

Of course, these were not what Liu Changfeng considered. The day after returning to Feishui River, Wule led two thousand cavalry to drive 15,000 animals, five thousand horses, five thousand cows, and five thousand camels. The veterinarian carefully checked and also conducted an isolated pastoral area to prevent the Turkic people from cheating. However, all this seemed redundant. Ten thousand animals were very good and there was no problem at all.

Liu Changfeng said: "Are we going to lose it?"

Wu Song said: "If there are more people in the Southern Turks, the muscles and bones will be damaged, and this buffer zone will be dangerous. Now, the Southern Turks are in civil turmoil and will not pose a threat to us within three or two years."

This spring, the Fifty-li Fortress has captured 300 miles from east to west and more than 200 miles from north to south, with a population of more than 100,000, dozens of rivers, pastures, and millions of mu of fertile land. The sparse population is the biggest problem. Wu Song will soon return to the Central Plains and have a long talk with Pang Wanchun and Liu Changfeng all night. Liu Changfeng has outstanding sword skills and good military strategy, but he doesn't know one big word, so he can't rely on civil affairs. For the time being, Wu Song has no suitable candidates, so he can only let Pang Wanchun, who has both cultural relics, take care of both horses and controls the army and dismounts the horses and controls the people.

The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and as long as they are well managed, they will have a very prosperous scene.

Wu Song left the Western Regions and returned to the Central Plains, and Pang Wanchun made great efforts in the Western Regions.

Pang Wanchun, Liu Changfeng, Jie Zhen and dozens of senior generals discussed the first task. The military horses seized this time, plus the extorted military horses, more than 10,000 were suitable for breeding. Three thousand horses were selected, and Pang Wanchun's troops and Liu Changfeng's troops were each 1,500. The two battalions of cavalry were expanded to 1,500, and one person and two horses were standard. The infantry commanded by Jie Zhen expanded to 2,000, and the power of the Sixty-Liu Li Fort was greatly increased, which was 5,000 elite soldiers. Of course, these were just military changes.

In Wu Song's words, without financial support, there is no way to build a strong army. Therefore, Pang Wanchun spent a lot of energy to manage people's livelihood.

The villages in the Western Regions are relatively complex. Each village is responsible for a Baozheng, village chief and clan leader. The agricultural tax and pastoral tax are one for one, and the commercial tax are twenty taxes. Reduce taxes and fees, improve the military patrol system, and annihilate the horse and thieves in the territory.

Horse thieves in the Western Regions are a very stubborn problem. Horse thieves ride horses and commit crimes, and come and go like flying. Patrol alone cannot completely cure them. Pang Wanchun took two basic measures according to Wu Song's experience. The first is to mobilize the masses. Anyone who reports a horse thief information will be rewarded with five taels of silver as long as they are verified. If the horse thief is annihilated, twenty taels of silver will be rewarded with.

The people are very motivated by heavy rewards. After all, horse thieves also need to eat and rest, especially the sparsely populated grasslands to find the whereabouts of horse thieves.

The second measure is to build outposts. The posts are different from post stations. The post stations are guesthouses and big car shops. Although there are a small number of soldiers stationed, they are not military fortresses. The posts are different. The posts are built at key intersections where business travelers pass, with solid buildings with two floors of brick and wood structures. Arrow towers are set up on the roof and a solid fence on the periphery. Generally, twenty to thirty infantrymen are stationed, equipped with archers and a small number of horses. Once a small group of horse thieves are found, they will be annihilated, and a large number of horse thieves will ignite the beacon warning. At the same time, the posts also provide rest and supplies for patrolling soldiers. Twenty of the first batch of posts are built, and the situation will increase or decrease in the future.

Mobilize the masses, build outposts, and carry out large-scale rectification from point to face horse thieves, thieves, etc. Social stability is a must for the development of the economy. Especially for animal husbandry, herders grazing cattle and horses, and worked hard for several years. Once the horse thieves came, they would hand them all over the public. This is the hateful thing about horse thieves.

Liu Kejun, a remote village in Lanzhou Prefecture, is 23 years old this year, and he is not as good as the high or low. He still has no wife. His father died in the war in Song Xia a few years ago. It is said that his father died in the line of duty and had 20 taels of silver in his life, but he did not have any money. Later, when he inquired, the court issued a pension of twenty taels of silver for each person. Liu Kejun colluded with other families who were also encountered in the nearby villages to ask for money. However, the prefect did not see it, but beat him up instead. He also made a charge, called disturbing public order, and had five days of prison meals in the prison. Liu Kejun was a tough guy, and went out to the prefect's office and beat the drum to make a grievance. The complaint was that the county magistrate deducted the pension.

It is a taboo for the people to sue the officials. The government office brought out a nail board and asked Liu Kejun to get out. Only after he got out of the nail board could he sue. If he couldn't get out, he would go home as soon as possible.

Liu Kejun is not afraid of death, but it doesn't matter if he dies. What should he do if his mother, younger brother and sister at home? In this way, Liu Kejun failed and returned to his hometown to farm. Who knew that the nightmare had just begun. Because of his complaint, the county gave him some shoes to wear. The original good land had to be confiscated and replaced with sandy land, and the land that was originally relying on water had to be replaced with land halfway up the hillside. Liu Kejun drove a ox cart to the county town, and they would check the documents and ask him to pay taxes. There are many ways to punish people, and Liu Kejun's family could no longer survive.

On the evening of the day, two swordsmen riding horses came to Liu Kejun's house. They were wearing sheepskin coats and a goose feather knife hung on their waists. The tall horse was very energetic.

Liu Kejun was shocked. He was a farmer and a family who didn't know such a swordsman. Although he also had such a dream, he had old people and younger brothers and sisters, so he couldn't let him think too much.

"Cousin, it's me." A man jumped off the horse. He turned out to be Liu Kejun's cousin, his dear cousin. The eldest cousin of my aunt's family, four sons and two daughters. He has more than ten acres of thin land. After paying the food tax, he basically has to eat bran and vegetables. Unexpectedly, he became a swordsman.

"Cousin, brother, I followed Lord Liu in Liushili Fortress. Now I am a team leader. I heard that your family has had a hard time. Let's go and have sex with me." My cousin said straight to the point.

"I'm just doing it as a swordsman, but my mother is weak and sick, and my younger brother and sister are still young and can't do anything," said Liu Kejun.

"I have heard of your situation. There is only one way to die if you stay. If you dare to sue the county magistrate, he doesn't want to kill you. There are two roads at Liushili Fort. One is land reclamation. One is good land along the river, and one cow is divided into five acres, plus one cow. Just like your family can divide it into twenty acres of land and one cow. The farm tax is exempted within three years, and one tax is 10 in three years. The other road is that you are the army and the others are farming." said the eldest cousin.

Liu Kejun did not doubt his cousin's words at all. After all, there were few telecom frauds in those days and people were very real.

Liu Kejun said: "I'll discuss with my mother. If you can, I'll go with you tomorrow afternoon."

That night, Liu Kejun and his mother cried until midnight. They were hard to get away from their hometown, but they really had no choice and couldn't get through.
