The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 203
Hearing the general's questioning, all the officials present.

There are opinions, but there are not many opinions.

Thanks to the blessings of the barbarians, most of the big families in Liaodong disappeared.

Liaozuo is now a blank sheet of paper.

It's not that Tang Qing'an is cold-blooded and treats the big family as an enemy and refuses to save them, but that he can't afford to support them after being rescued.

In the feudal agricultural society, the economic essence is still an ecological environment of barter, and the field is the only pillar of production.

Any other industry is just icing on the cake.

And Tian Mu is the most dull.

Can't play tricks.

A ten point is a ten point, and nothing more will change.

The large households with less than [-]% of the big week accounted for half, or even more than half.

90.00% of the common people can only account for the remaining half.

No good strategy can save the situation.

As for Zhang Juzheng's Qingtian, the extra 8000 million mu of new land can only be said to have been treated to the root.

There is also Hai Rui.

He also saw this.

Relying on the head iron, he desperately stayed in the south, forcing the big family to return the occupied land, and even his benefactor, regardless of criticism, even the retired Ge Lao.

It's a pity that he lacks qualifications, and he resigned lonely amidst the insults from the big family.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were these famous ministers who desperately continued their lives for the Ming Dynasty regardless of their death, but there were no such great men in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are only two living treasure saints.

One disregarded the safety of the court, and the other had private trade with the barbarians.

Therefore, Tang Qing'an has the confidence to distribute the land to the people.

And as Zheng Yonglian said
With the number of people in various places reaching 170 million, the government has already suffered from many shortcomings in the distribution of materials.

Seeing that the general prefers Zheng Yonglian, and everyone can't find a way to solve it, the government is currently in a dilemma in terms of distribution.

Unless the manpower of the yamen is increased several times, this will lead to bloated government personnel and double the expenditure.

So in the end, Zheng Yonglian's division of the land was agreed.

Those who have served in the government's farmland for more than seven years, for each household above, males under the age of 45, will be divided into two acres of land, and the rest of the elderly, women and children will be divided into one mu of land.

Compared with the current population of Jinzhou, Zhenjiang, and the east coast of Changbai Mountain, an average household can divide [-] mu of land.

Fishing grounds, artisan households, and sergeants are also divided according to the number of years of service, and the fields are divided after seven years.

And seven years later, the artisan households will also pay one cadre to serve for the government for one month, and pay wages for the additional months of service.

As for the fishing grounds, they will not be released.

After seven years of military service, you can receive a monthly payment, and you don't have to serve at home, or you can choose to quit the fishing ground and return home to work in farming.

But I believe that I will not choose the second option, and I will probably keep a small one and still work in the fishing ground to receive money.

Why not let go of the fishing grounds.

The officials looked at the general suspiciously.

The fields are all released, why not open the fishing grounds, and taxes can also be collected from the fishermen.

"A fishing ground is different from acres of fields. Each boat only needs three or five people, and the annual catch is worth hundreds of acres of fields.

Moreover, the wind in the Liaodong Bay of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Liaodong Bay is not as deeply affected by the weather as the fields.

Although the fishing grounds on various islands need a lot of people to kill, salt, dry, dry, collect, ice cellar, warehouse, etc.

But this is our greatest reliance, no matter what temporary setbacks we encounter in the future, we can sit back and relax.

Moreover, the fishing grounds are easier to manage, and there are no uncontrollable disadvantages. Therefore, my idea is that within 20 years, the imperial court's sea ban will remain unchanged. "

Everyone understands.

There was a deeper meaning that Tang Qing'an couldn't explain to others.

If the inertia of history.

In the future, the people in Dazhou will not be able to make a living. If he can recover Liaodong, then the land in Liaodong can not only feed the people of Liaodong, but also provide military supplies.

The harvest from the fishing grounds can be used to help the people in the country.

The Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and Liaodong Bay, because of the Korean Peninsula as a barrier, block the swift wind on the ocean.

Therefore, these sea areas can be said to be the sea areas with the least wind and waves among the ten thousand li sea areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Other places just want to learn from him, and only Shandong has this advantage, and other places can't learn from him, because the wind and waves are very strong, and the storm is uncertain.

When fishermen go to sea, they really use their lives to go to sea.

Once, twice, ten times, and hundreds of times, they returned safely, but as long as they encountered a storm, nine times out of ten the ship was destroyed and people died.

There are countless islands in the sea area of ​​Changbai Mountain, big and small, and fishing grounds have been built, and they are all sheltered islands for fishing grounds.

The risk is reduced by at least a hundred times compared to other places.

However, there is no evidence for these future events, so Tang Qing'an didn't talk about them with everyone.

Finally, about the soldiers.

The current soldiers' food and silver are half-paid, and it is estimated that they will not be able to supply the full amount in the next few years, because the current rule cannot afford it.

It can only rely on the supply of the imperial court.

Soldiers not only have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, risking their lives, but now their monthly salary has to be halved, and of course they have to give more compensation.

A soldier's family, in addition to the original [-] mu of land, will be rewarded with one mu of land for one year of service starting from the year when the monthly salary is halved, with a maximum limit of ten mu.

In other words, ordinary soldiers, not to mention the usual half pay, can get ten acres of land for their families just by serving for ten years.

Then the homes of these sergeants will have 21 acres of land, and they will become rich households everywhere.

In the current Dazhou, due to the heavy taxation in northern Shaanxi, people flee to farmland, and they can buy farmland for one or two taels of silver.

But in the south of the Yangtze River, even the corvee is heavy, but one mu of land can be sold for more than ten taels, and it is extremely difficult to buy land.

If in three years, the taxes are as the general said, then all over the Golden State will be one of the best places.

Not to mention ten taels of silver, it is estimated to be 15 taels of silver, and Shangtian cannot be bought, because no one will sell it.

Therefore, the field rewards for sergeants not only make up for the disadvantages of half-pay for sergeants, but also get the response of all sergeants.

There is another layer of meaningless words.

All the officials present can see through.

Eleven acres of land at home, plus ten acres of military land, which soldier is not loyal to the general.

Morale and loyalty are there.

Three birds with one stone.

The matter of dividing the land could not be finished in one day. Everyone was considering the details, and finally it took three days to finalize the division of the land.

Now that there are no doubts, the General's Mansion issued official documents to various places and the army.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everywhere is boiling up.

Even the people who are most afraid of the government will ask the tolerance around them if this is true, with panic on their faces.

field acres.

If he could get eleven acres of land, even after his death, he would still be honored when he saw his ancestors.

I have earned a family business for my children and grandchildren.

How many peasant households came and went naked.

Ten acres of land is something that many people dare not even think about.

Under the public notice board at the gate of the yamen, several police officers were asked dry mouths. In the past few days, even if they explained and explained, they still had to ask them over and over again.

The swarthy, wrinkled old farmer in front of him was recognized by the messenger, and he came to ask him once a day.

"You old man, what's the matter? I've answered you no less than three or four times. Isn't it annoying to ask you like this?"

original.

The old farmer was most afraid of these gentlemen, but with the same tone, he was not afraid at all, and even showed a flattering smile.

"This... this, is it true that the subfields are distributed?"

The policeman rolled his eyes.

"Go, go, come here to make trouble again, but don't blame me for being rude, and arrest you into the yamen."

Hearing that he was about to be caught in the Yamen, the old farmer retreated reluctantly.

He had just left, and he was the same person, obviously different in appearance, but with a similar demeanor, licking his face.

"Go away too, I recognize you."

The government is still the government.

Although the messengers are all newcomers, within a few years, they still learned to be arrogant and condescending to the common people.

Nothing has changed.

Only one official document was issued.

It seems like everything has changed.

The same hardships, the same unfair distribution, and the same unspoken things, but the people are always laughing.

as usual.

The common people are taciturn, working in the fields, even if they meet their neighbors, they often don't say a word for a day.

And now.

Everyone takes the initiative to talk to others.

Fields everywhere.

There is only one thing to talk about.

That is to divide the fields.

Just talk about subfields.

The old farmer who had a bitter face just now could not help but open his brows, revealing his yellowed and uneven gums.

"Yes, the general wants to share the fields with us."

"Eleven mu of land."

The person who spoke first sighed.

"Well, eleven acres of land."

The people who followed said with certainty.

Eleven mu of land is really not much.

With the current climate of Dazhou and Liaodong, some places are high-yield, and some places are real estate.

As stated in the announcement.

The upper field is seven mu, the middle field is ten mu, and the lower field is fifteen mu.

On average, with 22 mu of land, there are only [-] and [-] shi of millet grain a year, and there are nearly [-] shi of rice after the land tax is removed.

But with these eleven acres of land, the family members no longer have to worry about the future, and no longer have to be afraid of being hungry.

No longer need to rent other people's land, no longer need to look at other people's eyes, no longer need to be bullied by others.

No more need to open your eyes and worry about running out of food.

With these eleven acres of land, the old farmer suddenly felt that his waist had hardened.

And there is no per capita tax.

Thinking of this, the old farmer was stunned.

My brother, who was drowned at birth, was really unlucky. If he was born three or forty years later, it would be useless.

Yes.

No more per capita taxes.

The old farmer who came to his senses had mixed feelings in his heart, and regret welled up in his heart.

The same yamen, the same daily routine.

It seems that the rust has been removed, and the management of various places has become smoother.

Whatever the government says, the common people do what they want, and they rush to do it quickly.

Feng Shengzhi, who visited the southern part of the Liao Zuo East Bank, sighed.

That Zheng Yonglian is indeed a great talent.

When Feng Shengzhi returned to Jinzhou, the general set up a new Yamen.

tax department.

In the state capital of Dazhou, it is the yamen of the ninth rank, and the counties are the miscellaneous officials who have not entered the stream.

That's why it's new.

It's because this yamen is responsible for the affairs in Jinzhou, which is not the original matter.

Ambassador of the Department of Taxation.

Zheng Yonglian.

Supervise everywhere.

Isn't this the function of the censor?

Amazing.

When Feng Shengzhi returned to Jinzhou, he didn't see this person. Hearing that he had only been in office for three days, he went on a tour around the country.

"General."

General's House.

Met the general.

Feng Shengzhi smiled.
