Chapter 471 Land Reform
"Master Ling, conquering the world doesn't seem as easy as I thought?"

Outside Daliang City, Kou Zhong spoke to Xu Ziling in a daze.

Because they were just small minions, no one paid any attention to them. Even Li Qingyuan didn't know that these two protagonists of the original novel had appeared.

When he first came to this world, Li Qingyuan did think about finding them both and killing them, but as time went by he forgot about it.

There is no way. People's vision will continue to improve with time, age and their own development. For Li Qingyuan now, let alone the twin dragons that have not yet developed, even the twin dragons in the later stage are just two pieces of trash!
If the other party appeared in front of him, he would definitely kill him without hesitation, but how could he be asked to issue an arrest warrant to hunt down two thugs all day long?
Li Qingyuan said that they are worthy?
"Our strength is still too low!"

Xu Ziling also admitted it helplessly.

The two of them have always been able to defeat the strong with the weak since their debut. In just two years, they went from being small hooligans to innate masters, and even met big shots that they had never dared to think about before. So their mentality is inflated and they think that the world's heroes are nothing more than this.

However, the battle of Daliang City shattered their confidence. Whether it was individual combat or siege warfare, everything was beyond the brothers' imagination.

When you were a gangster, you couldn't see the general situation of the world clearly, so you were like a frog in a well looking at the moon, only knowing one side of the story but not the other. But after they both really embarked on the path of cultivation, they realized that they were like a mayfly seeing the sky!
"No matter how much we practice, can we reach that guy's level? Or can the walls of Pegasus Ranch withstand the attack?"

Kou Zhong came with Xu Ziling as the representative and spy of Pegasus Ranch to investigate the situation. A few days ago, due to his insistence on reason and careful thinking, Shang Xiuxun rejected Li Qingyuan's proposal to recruit the harem. Although he did not kill the envoy directly, he did not show much courtesy to him, which was considered an offense!
It was an offense anyway. Pegasus Ranch had been coveted by countless forces over the years, but in the end, it managed to survive!

Even when the Sui Dynasty unified the country, Pegasus Ranch was still able to maintain its independence. Now Li Qingyuan wants to take over the ranch just because it is in a corner. He is so arrogant.

Therefore, under Kou Zhong's persuasion, Shang Xiuxun ignored the envoy sent by Li Qingyuan. By the way, when he learned that the other party was about to go to war with Li Mi, he secretly celebrated.

Not only Shang Xiuxun, but everyone in the world felt that this battle would take at least a year and a half. After all, in these days, unless there was a traitor who opened the door, it would take several months to capture even a small city.

No one expected that the famous Daliang City would be breached in less than a day, and it was breached directly!

This kind of fighting between gods opened everyone's eyes. Not only Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, but also the spies stationed in Daliang City by other forces were running back desperately, trying to bring the latest battle situation to their masters.

"Then what do you think we should do now?"

"I don't know either. Let's just take it one step at a time. But first I have to bring the news back to the beautiful owner!"

Kou Zhong originally wanted to travel the world and fight on the battlefield, and then take Li Xiuning, Song Yuzhi and the beautiful lady into his harem, but now it seems that his plan is going to fail? After all, no matter how he looks at it, it seems that he can't get any benefits from that damn pretty boy!
This war spread across the country at an incredible speed. Li Yuan and Dou Jiande, who were preparing their troops to attack Luoyang, were dumbfounded. They hadn't even prepared food and grass yet, so how could Li Mi be defeated?
There is no way. Taking the city in one day is simply a myth. You know, even during World War II, it took a month to fight for a city guarded by city walls!
In fact, if Li Mi's men could fight to the death, it would probably take two days to completely break the city even with howitzers. After all, with Dugu Feng's mediocre skills, it was completely a blind cat catching a dead mouse if he could hit the target with one of three cannons. It would depend entirely on luck if he wanted to replicate this.

But who can blame the loyalty of the various rebel kings in Wagangzhai for being so low?

On weekdays, of course, everyone is friendly to each other, but once faced with a real life-and-death crisis, then the boss is there to be sold!

Smart ones like Li Haitong, Du Fuwei and others have already started sending people to contact Li Qingyuan to inquire about their treatment after surrendering. After all, these people themselves are not preparing to become emperors. They just see that the world is in chaos and they have some power in their hands, so they want to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits. They have never thought that they are qualified to be emperors.

Those who still had illusions about the supreme throne, such as Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, Xiao Xin and others, began to withdraw their troops, probably wanting to form an alliance to kill Li Qingyuan, this out-of-specification guy, first.

Especially after Li Qingyuan captured Daliang, his actions made all the originally wavering aristocratic families join the cause of the resistance.

Li Qingyuan first invited all the heads of the noble families in the vicinity to a banquet, and then asked them to count how many fields and people they owned.

Privately hoarding land and people has become a reserved skill for aristocratic families. After all, both land and slaves need to pay taxes.

So naturally these noble families reported less than what they had reported. Some families that clearly had 100,000 acres reported at most 3,000 acres, and some families that had 5,000 people reported only 200.

So!
After these guys finished reporting the numbers, the survey team led by Shen Luoyan immediately reported the number of acres of land surveyed!

Originally, Li Qingyuan was planning to use a drone to take aerial photos to check the acreage, but later Shen Luoyan said that this matter should be done by a master of light skills.

For any expert with innate talent, running a hundred or eighty miles in an hour is like a piece of cake, and they can run across a county in half a day at most.

Although it is absolutely impossible to be accurate to the single digit, even if the error is up or down by 20%, it is not a big deal.

For example, after measurement, the current farmland in Rongyang is about 2.83 million mu, but the head of Rongyang Zheng family just said that their family only owns 28,000 mu, not even a fraction of that!
In response to this, Li Qingyuan said that it was not a big deal. He was a good man and naturally would not care about such a small thing. He would just round up the area to 30,000 acres and give it to Zheng family of Rongyang. The remaining 2.8 million acres would be confiscated. The soldiers and officers under his command would each be given a few hundred or a few thousand acres as a reward!

Naturally, he would not distribute the land to the poor. After all, given the current information gap and the prestige of the Rongyang Zheng family for hundreds of years, even if he distributed the land to the poor, the land would still be taken back by the Zheng family when he left. He didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with them!

Hundreds of nobles with military merits were sent to Rongyang, and these people instantly became the emerging interest group of Rongyang. The Zheng family, the so-called thousand-year-old wealthy family, instantly became a third-rate character!
