"We are going to take down the Hexi Corridor, and we can still complete the side quest now.”
The corners of Cao Feng's mouth curled up slightly. And now, there was also the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The reputation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was well-known in the later generations.
What was terrifying about them was not their combat ability, but their intelligence ability.
It was said that in the dynasty where the Jinyiwei was located, some civil and military officials said or did something on a daily basis.
Even the Embroidered Uniform Guards knew about it clearly. It could be seen how much intelligence and surveillance they had.
"It just so happens that we lack such an organization now.”
Cao Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not cover the entire country and only covered the entire Liangzhou, they could at least understand the specific movements of the various forces in Liangzhou.
If there was any sign of trouble, he could save Wugou, his uncle, and the others before the Sui army.
"Ta Ta…"
While he was thinking, footsteps sounded. Then, he saw a person wearing a Qilin robe walk in.
This person was the commander of the Brocade Guard's Liangzhou branch, Lu Bing. He was not only skilled in martial arts, but also had a meticulous mind and endless schemes.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were like a tiger with wings in his hands.
"Greetings, Duke Han."
After Lu Bing entered, he bowed and cupped his hands.
Li Jing and the rest looked at each other. This person was clearly one of Duke Han's subordinates.
However, they had never seen this person before.
"Everyone, this is Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei branch of the intelligence agency.”
Seeing everyone's confusion, Cao Feng specially introduced them.
" Intelligence Agency!"
Li Jing and the others 'expressions changed drastically when they heard this. They even looked at Duke Han in disbelief.
From the start of the war until now, they had experienced too many surprises.
First, it was the White Horse Righteous Servant and Li Cunxiao, and then it was the ace army like the Han Wuzu, and now there was an intelligence agency.
Moreover, the establishment of an intelligence agency also cost a lot of money.
Other than money, it also cost a lot of time and energy.
The White Horse Righteous Servant, the Han Wu Soldier, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards would have to spend a lot of money to nurture them.
"Could it be that the seemingly ordinary Cao family actually has a monstrous foundation?”
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but think.
As for Li Jing, he subconsciously looked at Zhangsun Wuji. He wanted to know if Zhangsun Wuji knew about this.
However, it was a pity that the latter was as shocked as him.
"Greetings, everyone."
Lu Bing bowed to them one by one, giving off a cold feeling. He indeed had the demeanor of an expert from the intelligence agency.
"Currently, our army has already occupied Fufeng County, Tianshui County, and other places.”
After introducing Lu Bing and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Cao Feng started the discussion.
"There is not much food production in these areas, and the people are suffering from hunger. We should think of a way to restore food production.”
Cao Feng continued.
"Regeneration!"
Hearing this, Fang Xuanling and the others were secretly shocked. They had thought that the Han Guild would ask about the next step of their plan.
He did not expect the Duke of Han to place his attention on food production and the people.
The food in Fufeng Prefecture and other places had been plundered by the Longxi Army, Tang Bi, and the others. The people had no food to speak of, and they had been homeless.
If the food production in various places was restored, the people would not have to suffer so much.
"This subordinate agrees. This matter is beneficial to our army and the people.”
Li Jing was the first to express his opinion, followed by Fang Xuanling and the others. Almost everyone agreed with this.
"In that case, do you have any suggestions?”
Wen Wu fell silent.
With the current situation in each county, it would not be easy to restore the abandoned fields and food production.
"Everyone, there are many abandoned fields in each county. If the people can voluntarily cultivate them, then the matter can be resolved.”
Cao Feng slowly said when he saw that everyone was deep in thought.
"Master Han is right."
Li Cunxiao echoed.
However, the commoners did not even have enough to eat, so why would they take the initiative to cultivate the barren fields?
"We can use the method of tax exemption for farming to reward the people to take the initiative to farm.”
As soon as he said this, the eyes of Zhangsun Wuji and the others lit up.
"Give the barren fields to the people who have no land and let them reclaim and cultivate on their own.”
"I'll reward you with tax exemption for another year. The commoners will naturally go and farm actively.”
Cao Feng spoke again.
"That's right, Duke Han's idea is really brilliant!”
Zhangsun Wuji praised.
If they were exempted from taxes for a year, the grain harvested by the people for a year would be theirs. No one would resist such an attraction.
"Duke Han, you can add another condition.”
Fang Xuanling thought of something and said.
"Tell me."
"We can also use tax exemption for three years as a reward to let the people take the initiative to open up wasteland.”
Fang Xuanling didn't keep him in suspense and said directly.
"As for the commoners who have land, reduce some taxes.”
Zhangsun Wuji said slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was quite shocked in his heart.
They didn't expect the Duke of Han to find a way to restore grain production in such a short time.
If it wasn't for Duke Han's words, they wouldn't have thought of a follow-up plan.
"This subordinate agrees."
Li Jing felt that this policy was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.
"This subordinate agrees."
Undoubtedly, Li Cunxiao was even more so.
"In that case, immediately issue the relevant policies and implement them in Fufeng Prefecture and other places.”
Cao Feng ordered without hesitation.
"Yes."
Everyone left after a brief acknowledgment. The relevant policies were quickly implemented in the various counties.
The commoners of Longxi were gathered in front of the government office, looking around.
"Our good days are here!"
The commoners who saw the notice first cried tears of joy.
"Yes, I am!"
Instantly, many people agreed.
Before the Han army arrived, the Longxi army would plunder the people's wealth in addition to food.
He had caused the commoners to wish they were dead, and there were even corpses of people starving to death by the roadside. Who knew how many times he had cursed Xue Ju and his son in his heart.
Now that Xue Rengao was dead, they had vented their anger, and the new Han army had implemented such a benevolent policy.
It could be said that such an earth-shattering change made many people's eyes turn to poetry.
"The Han army reduced taxes and even rewarded the development of wasteland so that everyone could have a full meal!”
"The Han army is so benevolent. We commoners have finally met a wise ruler!”
The commoners ran around the city to spread the news. Almost in an instant, all the major counties were in an uproar.
Many commoners had gathered at the local government office, either waiting to receive the wasteland or preparing to participate in the reclamation of the wasteland.
"I thought we wouldn't have enough to eat since we couldn't be soldiers after being discharged.”
"Yeah, it seems like we were thinking too much.”
Some of them were soldiers who didn't meet the standards and were sent back from the captive army.
At this moment, they were also extremely excited.
Just as everyone was crowded here, two figures approached curiously.
