Liu Che wouldn't take back all the land in the world, nor would he divide the fertile land equally.
Because if these farmlands were taken back, it would be an even greater waste if no one farmed them.
The only thing Liu Che did was to increase taxes.
After measuring the fertile land in the world, they would pay taxes according to the yield per mu.
With such taxes, the rich and powerful landowners would have to pay more taxes, while the poor would have their taxes reduced.
In Liu Che's eyes, this world was his world.
These wealthy landowners who evaded taxes were his greatest enemies.
In Liu Che's opinion, these people were even more despicable than those corrupt officials.
It was the stubborn illness of the burly man!
————
The next day.
The Great Han Empire's land measurement operation began in full swing!
Liu Che quietly waited for news from Wei Wan and Han Anguo.
Liu Che wanted to see if Wei Wan and Han Anguo had any real ability!
Half a month later, the Imperial Academy of Medicine came to Yanmen Pass to prevent the plague.
A month later, Liu Che sent out 100,000 soldiers to join forces with the Yanmen Pass defenders.
From Yanmen Pass, they went deep into the desert and swept across the Xiongnu.
What surprised Li Guang was that he found that the Xiongnu tribe had no ability to resist at all.
Logically speaking, the Xiongnu tribe should have someone guarding it, but the Xiongnu tribe was like a plate of loose sand.
Li Guang did not know that the little Emperor had ordered Zhou Yafu's subordinates to go deep into the grasslands and wipe out the Xiongnu leaders and bloodlines.
The leaders of these Xiongnu tribes had long been killed or injured.
They were naturally powerless against the menacing Great Han army.
The Great Han army was destroying the Xiongnu tribes while also snatching their horses and livestock.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed!
In just a short month, the Great Han Empire had 60,000 cavalrymen…
Yanmen Pass opened the granary to release grain, and the grain of the Great Minister Wang Yong had already been transported to Yanmen Pass.
In addition to food, there was also charcoal for the winter.
——
For Liu Che, the new policies of the founding dynasty had already begun. What he lacked the most now was talent.
Talent!
They still lacked talents!
Especially military talents!
He had to nurture a group of loyal, reliable, and capable subordinates as soon as possible.
It was just that good seedlings were not easy to find. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were still too young. Drunkard Guan Fu was an idiot who liked to cause trouble. It was fine not to nurture him.
It had been several months since he ascended the throne. Liu Che racked his brains and only managed to find two talents, Zhang Qian and Gongsun He.
Gongsun He had been sent by Liu Che to Yunzhong County for training.
Zhang Qian was in charge of training the Royal Guards.
Liu Che wanted to train a group of special forces!
In this era of cold weapons, it was definitely the only one in the world.
The selected soldiers were divided into two armies, selected from the children of good families aged fourteen to nineteen years old, and unified into one army, known as the Tiger Ben Army.
Take the meaning of 'like a tiger beast, rainbow tiger dance run'."
"Then take the orphans of the army aged 10 to 15 and teach them five soldiers. When they reach adulthood, they will form an army and be called the Yulin Army.
The meaning of 'the wings of the country, like the prosperity of the forest'.”
"Good! Huben, Yulin! Like the tiger's violence, like the feather's speed, these two armies, can certainly become my wings!
After Liu Che heard Han Yan's report, he slapped the table and cheered.
Old Lady Dou was a little uncomfortable with Liu Che's action of asking for military power.
But now, it had turned into partial support.
However, she could not bear to give the military power of the Northern Yamen's Imperial Army.
The commander of the Northern Yamen's Imperial Army was her son-in-law, the eldest princess Liu Piao's husband, Chen Wu.
She knew that she probably did not have many years left to live. She could leave the matters of the empire to her grandson, but she still held back.
After all, Che 'er was too young.
What if he was bewitched by some powerful official…
————
A month later, Liu Che entered the heavily guarded Qi Men School camp.
Han Yan reported,
"Your Majesty, the Qi School is divided into two battalions. There are more than 600 Tiger Troops and less than 200 Feather Forest Troops.”
"The Feather Forest Camp is in the middle, the soldiers can only enter and not leave.”
"The Tiger Troop will set up camp around the Feather Forest to protect it.
"The soldiers of the two battalions, anyone who comes within 40 feet of the earthen wall will be killed!”
Liu Che's eyes lit up with anticipation.
In the large tent of the Feather Forest Camp, Liu Che's eyes shone as he stroked a set of brand new cavalry equipment and said,"
"When the imperial cavalrymen were training, they were equipped with such weapons?”
Compound bow, horse halberd, saber, fish scale armor, high bridge saddle, stirrels, horseshoes.
After Liu Che exchanged for the weapon making technique from the system, he improved seven kinds of cavalry equipment.
In the history books, the Han Dynasty was not tough enough against the Xiongnu, but they had no choice.
Every time he married the Xiongnu, a wound that was difficult to heal was left in the Great Han Emperor's heart.
However, the Great Han army had repeatedly suffered great losses in front of the Xiongnu cavalry. They could only use women and property to appease them in humiliation.
The reason why the Xiongnu could pose a huge military threat to the Central Plains during the Qin and Han Dynasties was that they had a highly mobile cavalry force.
The infantrymen and chariots of the Central Plains were often at a disadvantage when facing the unpredictable Xiongnu cavalry.
Especially a few decades ago, Gaozu Liu Bang was surrounded by 400,000 elite troops of Maodun Chanyu in Baideng for seven days.
It allowed the entire Han army to witness the true strength of the Xiongnu cavalry.
This disparity in strength deeply provoked Han Ting.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty began to make up his mind to develop the cavalry in order to compete with the Hu cavalry.
In order to develop cavalry, one had to first have a sufficient number of high-quality warhorses.
Feudal dynasties that relied on farming as their economic foundation had always valued cattle more than horses.
Moreover, due to geographical restrictions, the number and quality of horses produced in the Central Plains were difficult to match those produced in the northern nomadic areas.
The solution was to establish a force that could mobilize the resources of the country and adopt more advanced horse breeding techniques.
