Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 1506 Long Live the [-]th!

The words of the third prince once again shocked the sky.

All the sergeants cheered immediately, whether they wanted to continue serving in the army or those who wanted to be disarmed and returned to the fields, they were all very excited.

Exempting the annual tax for life is a benefit to the people from the imperial court, and it is a great thing for those retired soldiers. Originally, [-]% of the annual tax was waived, but the last [-]% was waived for those who had served as soldiers.

It is conceivable that those unmarried sergeants, once disarmed and returned to the fields, will definitely become sought-after among the villages, and many girls will want to marry such a family.

And soldiers can get twice as much salary as before, and all of it is cash. After finally retiring, they can still enjoy the treatment of exempting the annual tax for life, which is definitely a sought-after item.

The day will get better.

For families with few fields but a large population, they can farm and serve in the army at the same time, which is two ways of income.

This is definitely the incomparable privilege of being a soldier!

After everyone cheered for a while, the third prince continued: "However, it is not that whoever wants to be a soldier can continue to be a soldier. The policy of the Great Xia Dynasty is to have fewer soldiers, better soldiers, stronger soldiers, and unqualified soldiers. Should the army Yes. And the days to come will gradually tend to be peaceful, and there will be no battles to fight, and there will be no need for so many soldiers. The army in the future will maintain the basic operations of the Great Xia and not waste national power on the army On. And in order to increase the income of the sergeants, the army will organize military reclamation, and when there is nothing to do, they can also open up wasteland and cultivate land, and they will be paid in proportion."

The Third Prince's explanation immediately drew another round of cheers.

"Long live……"

"Long live……"

All the sergeants were overwhelmed. They didn't expect that they could have other income while receiving military pay.

This is simply a great thing.

After all, there is no battle to fight, and they are bored when they are idle. They have plenty of strength, and they are not afraid of working, but they are afraid of doing it for nothing.

Those ministers standing not far from the third prince, when they first heard the new policies mentioned by the third prince, they cried out in their hearts. They really had a lot of worries in their hearts, secretly blaming the third prince for being too young.

It is a good thing to implement benevolent government, but it must also be adapted to local conditions, seek truth from facts, and implement it according to the current situation of the Great Xia Kingdom.

If [-]% of the annual tax is reduced or exempted, the military salary is doubled, and the soldiers who return to the field are exempted from taxes for life, then the national strength of the Great Xia will definitely not be able to bear it.

But after hearing what the third prince said just now, they suddenly came to their senses.

I think the third prince's move is really too high.

There are many barren fields in Daxia that are not cultivated, because the army in Daxia is too large, and the army takes up too much labor.

Freeing the labor force from the army will allow more people to cultivate the land. Although the yearly tax is exempted, the food for the people must be enough.

Then the price of food will drop, and some other people will be liberated from the land to do other industries.

And those soldiers in service did not fight, but also went to open up wasteland and farm land, and the value that these strong laborers could create was definitely higher than that of ordinary people.

This is equivalent to utilizing their labor force, which not only increases the income of the soldiers, but also increases the income of the court.

Also, if all the land occupied by the Jin Dynasty is recovered, there will be more fields, which can completely solve the food problem of the people of Daxia in just one year.

It is conceivable that after one year, what a gratifying situation will appear!

At this time, the third prince continued: "In the new dynasty of the Great Xia, the corvee is no longer free, but paid, and it is completely voluntary, absolutely not apportioned, not forced. I, Qin Feng, can guarantee that the compensation for corvee is enough. Let everyone rush to do it. Moreover, there will be people who can't do it."

"Long live……"

"Long live……"

Another round of cheers sounded, and the tide was higher and higher.

This is another big news.

The new policy promulgated by the third prince almost overthrew and rebuilt everything in the previous dynasty. It was entirely because those people would not treat them so preferentially even if they formulated policies to benefit the people themselves.

They simply cannot imagine what their life will be like once such a New Deal is implemented.

If that's the case, they have every reason to believe that in less than five years, they will have the hope of surpassing Dajin.

And this goal was never even thought of before.

"and also……"

I only heard the third prince continue to say: "In the future, we will streamline the palace organization, reduce personnel, and increase efficiency. The Great Xia will have a streamlined Great Xia court, a court where everyone is crowned with one, and the court will not support idlers or moths." , do not raise parasites!"

"Also, the Great Xia's New Deal, focus on promoting business, develop handicraft industry, scale up workshops, improve handicrafts, promote trade between countries, build water conservancy, invest in education..."

The third prince expressed his thoughts one by one.

Not only did many soldiers and common people applaud repeatedly, but even those ministers were full of longing.

If what the third prince said can be realized, one can imagine that the Great Xia in the future will be so strong that it is unimaginable now.

The premise is that there will be no more wars between countries.

However, this matter should not be a problem because of the existence of that monk.

At the gate of the city, the third prince got a little excited when he said that.

This is exactly the ideal big summer in his heart, a prosperous big summer, which is the goal he is willing to work hard for all his life.

"My fellow citizens, all my sergeants, all my ministers and workers, such a great summer will definitely come true. In addition to tens of thousands of horses on the way, there are also millions of dans of grain on the way. In addition, the monk also gave the great summer 500 Ten thousand taels of gold is also on the way. These are enough to ensure a good harvest this year, and can guarantee that our wasteland reclamation will be implemented. Dear ministers, this is Qin Feng's preliminary idea, and the specific implementation needs to be formulated by all adults Come up with practical and feasible rules, everything should be done as quickly as possible, and everything should be kept simple.”

The third prince continued.

"Well, if we have these gold, food and horses, the life of Daxia will be better."

All the ministers were very excited when they heard the words.

Daxia actually has so many extra resources out of thin air. As long as it is used properly, it may turn around in a year.

By next year, there will be a huge improvement, and perhaps the goal of catching up with Dajin in five years will be shortened a bit.

Just when everyone was jumping for joy, there was a rush of horseshoes at the gate of the city.

Soon, a few riders rushed over from the city and stopped at the gate of the city.

But the eunuchs who returned to the palace to fetch the beaded crowns had already returned.
