Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 787

"From today onwards, you are all citizens of Tang Dynasty!"

Qin Lang leaned against the table, his tone was calm, but extremely domineering.

Tore down more than a dozen fan villages, beheaded hundreds of people, and demoted [-] people into slaves. This extremely overbearing method really made the people fear to the extreme.But Qin Lang also knew that blind coercion would not do, unless he really wanted to exterminate the species.

Qin Lang didn't have such a plan, the cost was too high, and he didn't have such a lot of energy.

Set up states and counties, and set up townships as districts.

All the Fanshes are registered with households and people, and the land is designated and the rights are confirmed.

"From today onwards, Liuqiu Island follows the laws of the Tang Dynasty and implements the two-tax system. According to the amount of wealth, households are divided into households, and household taxes are collected, and land taxes are collected according to the number of acres of fields. Return to the public..."

Seeing the young nobleman talking eloquently there, and hearing the interpreter's translation of each sentence in a low voice, the chieftains were shocked in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say a word.

All households are organized, the land is measured, the land is measured, and taxes and grains are collected. In the future, they will all be under the control of Tamsui City.

Of course, the nobleman said that they will also have many benefits. There are several benefits. First, Danshui City will teach them advanced farming techniques, and rent them cattle and farming tools and seeds. Using Datang's advanced farming techniques, their land The output in the field can be increased dozens of times, and the output in the field alone can feed and clothe a family and have surplus.

And Freshwater City will also guide them to plant sugar cane and cotton, and the income will be higher.

The benefits are not limited to these. Tamsui City will also set up a school to teach the children of the chieftains to read and write for free, and to teach them better techniques for refining camphor and excavating sulfur. It seems that as long as you follow these Tang people, everyone will life will be very good.

Don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, don't have to compete for hunting grounds, don't need to often go out to fight.

At this time, Qin Huan began to speak out, explaining his identity to the chiefs. He used to be the little prince of the Huansi tribe, the largest in the central area of ​​Liuqiu Island. How the tribe was strong and powerful, with a population of tens of thousands of households. The Han army in the Central Plains was defeated, how the big and small kings were killed, and how they were captured to the Central Plains...
And now, he is attached to the imperial court, how will he turn around and change, etc.

Many Fan Chiefs were very surprised when they heard this. Seeing this general who looked like them and had tattoos on his face, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"We will provide you with a lot of cattle and horse farming tools and seeds, and we will encourage you to reclaim wasteland for planting. As long as you reclaim the wasteland, you will be able to work permanently and enjoy a six-year discount. The newly reclaimed wasteland will not only be registered and confirmed immediately, but will also be issued with a title deed." , is the hereditary Yongye land for descendants, and the first three years are completely exempted from land tax, free warehouse grain, social warehouse grain, commutation money, service money, etc., and in the next three years, it will be increased by one-third every year until the seventh year. "

"We will provide you with low-interest loans for young crops, and give you cattle, horses, seeds, farm tools, etc., and we will only collect the principal and interest at the time of harvest..."

Qin Lang even promised that the village head and the head of the village will be elected by the village...

For this new colony, Qin Lang's conditions are still very superior, and he did not blindly attack and conquer, and he was willing to cooperate, and even gave them a lot of guarantees.

Confirmation and registration of existing land rights, encourage reclamation of wasteland and so on.

There is only one purpose, and he doesn't want too much resistance. He believes that as long as the civilization and technology they bring can make these people's lives better than they are now, then not to mention all of them, most of them will still be willing to accept it. This changed.

Compared with the current life where there are many tribes, often killing each other, competing for hunting grounds, and living in a precarious life, he believes that the tribes are not stupid and know how to choose.

Brutal colonial rule like the Spanish and other colonists is actually just a clumsy way of killing chickens to get eggs. It is the most cost-effective to fatten the chickens and lay eggs every day.

·······
Those who are willing to cooperate will not only have a way to survive, but also have a bright future.

Those who refused to cooperate, the fate of those fanshes was ahead. The fanshes were breached, and the villagers were taken into slavery.

How to choose is actually a good choice.

Qin Lang believed that if he offered such a favorable condition, most people would make the right choice, and of course some people would be ignorant of the current affairs, but it would be fine if he continued to hold a knife and a candy.

Qin Lang encouraged these Fan people to use the rest of the land to grow sugar cane and cotton after planting enough rations, and promised to sign a planting contract with them in the sugar mill and cotton mill, and even hire them to work in the workshop to make money.

The profit of sugar is now huge, not only the domestic market is huge, but now in the international market, the white sugar of the Qin family has completely defeated the frosting sugar of the Tianzhu people, and now it almost monopolizes the entire international white sugar trade, and the frosting sugar of the Tianzhu people has lost After entering the market, it is no longer a sweet pastry. Now many Tianzhu merchants are transporting Tianzhu coarse sugar to Datang port by boat and selling it to the Qin family.

The Qin family processed and refined it into white sugar and rock sugar, and then sold it to those Tianzhu merchants, who then sold the white sugar back to Tianzhu or even Persia and Rome.

Tianzhu businessmen did not make less money, but Tianzhu's sugar industry suffered a fatal blow.

But Qin Lang didn't care about this, he only knew that the white sugar trading market was getting bigger and bigger, but the supply of raw materials was far from enough, and he needed more sugar cane gardens.

Liuqiu's climatic and geographical conditions are very suitable for growing sugar cane. It is an excellent business for the Qin family to process sugar cane directly here for the Fan people to grow sugar cane.

In order to allow the Fan people to reclaim more land to grow sugar cane, Qin Lang is willing to provide them with advanced farming technology, transport cattle and horses from the Central Plains to cultivate, and build a farm tool factory in Liuqiu to create more high-quality farm tools for them. .Anyway, the more sugarcane they planted, the more sucrose materials Qin Lang got, and the greater the profit.

He even provided another cooperation model for the Fanren, that is, the Qin family contributes money, oxen, horses, farm tools and seeds, and the Fanren contributes manpower to jointly cultivate the fields. The cultivated fields belong to the Qin family, but the harvest will be shared with the Fanren. People share, and even sign a contract to give guaranteed income.

In this way, people can not bear the slightest risk, and the drought and flood can guarantee their income.

For the Qin family, this is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, borrowing people to reclaim the land and develop it. Every piece of land reclaimed will become a permanent estate. The land is worthless now, but it will only become more and more valuable in the future.

The Qin family is not short of money, and there are ways and channels to get those farm tools, seeds, cattle, horses, etc. What is lacking is people.

Although the imperial court entrusted the king of Wei to come to Liuqiu Island, the imperial court system allowed the frontier to reclaim wasteland and farmland, and the development of commercial villages was also encouraged. Whoever reclaimed the uncultivated land would have permanent employment, and there was a six-year reduction policy.

Such good land as Liuqiu, even though it has just been reclaimed, is already better than many border lands in the northern part of the Central Plains within two years at most.

Faced with the favorable conditions offered by Qin Lang, many of the chieftains patted their chests and expressed their appreciation on the spot.

On that day, Qin Lang hosted a banquet to entertain these chieftains.

The banquet lasts for seven days. Every day, there is a feast of flowing water, various delicacies of water and land, and girls arrange to serve them at night. They are all young women in the brothels in Tamsui City. They are all fashionable and beautifully dressed, and they have some temperament. How can they be those? Fan chieftain turtles can usually come into contact with, and all of them are fascinated by the gentle countryside for a while.

On the eighth day, the native turtles were already too happy to think about leaving, and no one mentioned going home anymore.

But the chiefs who woke up at noon did not wait for a sumptuous meal. When they were invited to Yacheng, they saw only rows of heads.

For seven days, Cheng Chumo and other officers from the six naval squadrons led the marines of the fleet, and Qin Huan and others led the Fan soldiers to cooperate. , kill along the way.

In seven days, more than one hundred strongholds, big and small, were broken.

The chiefs of Fanshe, who were watching the sky from the well, really saw the combat power of the Tang Dynasty. They still held stone knives and axes, and held simple bows and arrows. They basically had no armor, bare buttocks and bare feet, shouting and fighting like wild beasts.

The Tang army is well-equipped, well-trained, tacitly coordinated, well-organized and orderly, and it advances and retreats in strict order, killing Fanren every time.

Basically, there was no decent resistance, and it was as easy as cutting a block of butter with a red-hot knife.

Villages as small as dozens of people and as large as thousands of people, in front of them, there is no resistance, as if entering a no-man's land, the navy's warships are all acting as transport ships at this time, taking ordinary prisoners Ship to Tamsui City.

In seven days, more than 2 prisoners were transported back, but only less than half of them were transported back.

This action almost uprooted the dissatisfied fans on the Danshui Plain.

The heads of chiefs one after another were placed in front of them.

The chiefs who were reluctant to leave were all frightened and pale.

"These people don't eat toasts, they don't know the current affairs." Zhang Chao said to them with a smile.

Many chiefs knelt on the ground in fright.

"Get up, Duke Wei said that you are aware of the current affairs, so you are rewarded without punishment. I hope you can continue to be loyal to your life, and rewards will be given in the future. Don't learn from these fools. His wife and children became slaves."

Qin Lang readjusted the positions of these chiefs' fan clubs, and asked them to move to some of the attacked fan clubs, which were probably better places than their original fan clubs. This was a little reward.

At the same time, it also breaks up the various clubs, preventing them from having a chance to link up again.

The chiefs expressed their thanks and farewell in fear and trepidation. Their legs were weak as they walked along the way, knowing that Duke Wei was too cruel, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts, so they started to move when they went back.

Here, after Qin Lang wiped out more than 100 large and small fan clubs at once, he can be considered to have conquered the Danshui Plain, leaving dozens of affiliated fan clubs and vacating a large area of ​​land.

Qin Lang got [-] to [-] slaves one after another, and he couldn't send such a large population to the Central Plains to exchange for slaves of other races, so he had to ship the young and strong to various ports in the Central Plains for sale, and at the same time send some old and weak people to be more obedient. They were broken up to form slave manors one by one, managed and supervised by the Qin family's servants or slaves, and the land was reclaimed to prepare for planting sugar cane and cotton.

At the same time, Qin Lang also took advantage of this prestige to send people to Taoyuan Plain and Yilan Plain to intimidate and win them over. He also talked to the students in the mountains, hoping to directly cooperate with them to refine camphor incense and develop sulfur mines. Those middlemen in the plains and those in the mountains can earn more.

When Wei Wang Li Baoding led a large group of troops from Chang'an, came to Liuqiu, and was about to conquer the kingdom of Fan, Qin Lang was commanding the Qin family to frantically enclose land on Liuqiu Island.

Boat after boat of people was transported from various ports in the Central Plains. The Qin family provided excellent conditions, including housing expenses, travel expenses, carriage and horse fees, board and lodging, and collective reclamation arrangements after arriving. The Qin family provided all farming All they need is to build a dormitory and build a canteen. They only need to reclaim wasteland. In the end, the drought and floods will ensure the harvest. The Qin family will bear all the risks. If there is a harvest, they can share it.

Most importantly, the Qin family promised that [-]% of the reclaimed land will be given to the reclaimers free of charge after six years.If you reclaim a hundred acres, twenty acres will be yours, all of which are permanent land.

The Qin family provided everything needed for reclamation, oxen, tillage tools, seed technology, and even travel expenses, board and lodging expenses, food, clothing, housing and transportation during reclamation.

There is not only a guaranteed salary, but also a share of the harvest. In the end, [-]% of the land reclaimed will become his permanent business. If he doesn't want it in the end, the Qin family is willing to buy it back at the market price.

Such a good thing is very attractive to many poor people who are short of land in the Central Plains.Especially those poor bachelors who don't need anything, sign up, and then the bachelors will go on the road together, and someone will take care of everything. After a few years, they may be able to earn a family business on Liuqiu Island.

No matter how bad it is, you can return to your hometown after a few years of wages.

Enclosure on horseback, enclosure on donkey, first come, first enclosure, whoever encloses first will have the priority to cultivate wasteland.

On the Danshui Plain, on the original more than 100 community villages that were ignorant of current affairs and were attacked and destroyed, immigrant villages sprang up one by one. Countless new immigrants arrived, and many original Danshui lands were reduced to Slaves were scattered and assigned to villages one by one, and cultivated land and farmed under the supervision of leather driving.
