Wherever Duncan led his army, heads rolled, and then he quickly dispatched people to stabilize the situation, reassuring the citizens of Guangxi, directly distributing land and granting relief grain, even preparing seeds for next spring's cultivation.
The distribution of land by the Rebel Army was based on the Tang dynasty's system, with an adult male receiving forty mu of land and an adult female thirty mu.
The entire region of Guangdong and Guangxi had been left in shambles by Liu Chang, with a combined population of only two to three million. A vast amount of farmland lay fallow, so as long as one registered as an assimilated citizen, a family consisting of an adult male and female could immediately receive an additional ten mu, totaling a full eighty mu of land.
Indeed, because of this, many widowers and widows from ordinary families married overnight just to gain those extra ten mu of land.
