Not only that, governor Wei Zheng of Shanshan also fulfilled his promise to teach martial arts for one day every ten days.
In order to make these junior officers loyal to themselves, I …
Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces have absolute prestige. When they are specially drawn out, they should say a word to every soldier who comes to attend the class as much as possible to make them grateful and loyal to themselves …
Chapter two hundred and seventeen The will of the people
When Wei Zheng collected the morale of more than 1,000 military attache in martial arts step by step through his own means.
An action to buy people’s hearts and minds has also been supervised step by step by the governor’s office in Shanshan …
One month has passed, and the pension and reward department has finished paying it.
There is no unexpected choice between silver and cattle and sheep. More than 90% of soldiers and their families have chosen cattle and sheep that can bring them benefits continuously.
But even so, there are still more than 13 thousand cows in the hands of the governor’s office, totaling more than 500 thousand fat sheep …
If so many livestock are put into other people’s hands, they will definitely choose to exchange their parts for gold and silver.
Because these animals have to spend thousands of taels of silver, all kinds of food and grass for one more day …
But Wei Zheng didn’t …
Jingwei Zheng is very aware of the importance of these livestock to the people in the whole Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
Take cattle as an example. With more than 10,000 cattle, Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces will definitely open more wasteland … which means that the Governor’s Office can harvest more grain in the autumn harvest next year …
Although those fat sheep are not as big as oxen, they can promote the development of animal husbandry in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to a certain extent …
It is conceivable that if you disperse these fat sheep into the hands of all the villagers in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, maybe by 2008, these 500 thousand fat sheep will become 1 million.
At that time, even if we kill half a million fat sheep and eat them as meat, there will still be half a million left in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
Once Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces have 500,000 fat sheep and mutton every year, the physical quality of millions of people in those two provinces will be gradually improved to a certain extent.
More importantly, these fat sheep can continue to develop in their hands …
Of course, this is the most intuitive benefit for Wei Zheng’s entire Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
For Wei Zheng, he can get a steady stream of benefits through these cattle and sheep, and at the same time he can get the hearts of all the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
With the support of millions of people and more than 100,000 elites … the whole Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will completely become the base areas of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and they will also become the disputed local emperors in the two provinces …
At that time, even if they really turn against the court, these people and soldiers will keep their backs and support themselves against the court …
Therefore, Wei Zheng did not directly exchange these cattle and sheep for silver, nor did he choose to slaughter them … but distributed them to all the villagers in Shanxi by redemption …
A village about 30 miles away from the big city was deserted a few months ago … but with the arrival of thousands of villagers, this deserted village was once again alive …
After breakfast in a hurry early in the morning, hundreds of villagers were carrying farm tools again to prepare for reclamation outside the village. A series of deafening bells rang quickly in the village …
At this time, people who are just preparing to leave the village quickly return to their homes …
Put away the farm tools and have a rosy face because they can eat enough. The family hurried to the threshing floor at the door of Tunchang’s house …
Because the ringing of a big bell on the threshing floor means that something important must happen in Zhuang.
The threshing floor has been covered with dark people, and then the butch and the leopard were pulled out because of injury. The head of the army directly jumped to the platform and shouted
"Folks called you here today is a good thing to tell you …"
After that, the middle-aged chariot chief directly pointed to a compound next to the threshing floor and continued to shout, "You have seen the cattle and sheep in that compound … The Governor has pity on everyone, so that everyone can eat early and get rich. These cattle and sheep are transferred from other places to be distributed to everyone, so that everyone can make more money …"
"Divide cattle and sheep for everyone" Hearing this news, thousands of villagers have been grateful to the Governor’s Office because of the reclamation.
It’s like ants in a hot pot clamoring to ask the chief how to divide it …
No matter whether it’s cattle or fat sheep, these villagers who don’t even have enough to eat have never thought of a surprise before, and now this surprise suddenly comes to their heads and has to make them feel excited and excited
At this time, the soldier was born in Tunchang and went straight to Dantian to give a binge drink …
"Be quiet … how to distribute it? I will tell everyone not to talk … If anyone doesn’t hear the missed opportunity, don’t regret it …"
As soon as Tunchang finished talking about the lively threshing floor, it became very quiet.
Thousands of pairs of eyes converge at the same time to wait for the long article in Tun.
Tunchang Qing sang continued to shout, "When everyone joined the Tunmin, it was clear that the Governor’s Office had set the rules for everyone … Since 2000, each person has been allocated ten acres of land … Two years before the allocation of land, each family must pay 50% of the harvest to repay the silver needed for these ten acres of land …"
"After two years, the ten mu of land will be your own land, and the Governor’s Office will issue the title deed to everyone. Not only that, but after two years, everyone needs to pay 20% of the harvest tax every year. Besides this 20% of the harvest, there will be no exorbitant taxes …"
"On the surface, fifty percent gains a lot … but it’s not …"
"The Governor’s own silver has given us so many deep wells for spring ploughing, so we won’t need to worry about water any more … even if we harvest one load of grain per mu, there will be a total of ten loads in ten mu of land … besides paying taxes, we can still have five loads less in our hands."
"One person with five loads of food is calculated according to a family of four people, that is, twenty loads of food … even if you leave fifteen loads of food as rations, you will still have five loads of food surplus that can be exchanged for silver to buy clothes for your family …"
Tunchang said that the account would be counted if it were an individual.
Not only that, a load of grain yield per mu can only appear when the year is the worst, but now these deep wells can harvest a load and a half of grain per mu even if the year is the worst … So a family of four can harvest almost 30 loads of grain a year …
And this is only the income of the first two years …
After two years, these fertile fields will need to pay taxes, leaving 20%. By then, the hard work of a family of four will turn into more than 50 tons a year …
Fifty loads of grain is also never thought of for these villagers who have been living and dying.
I haven’t waited until the chief of the village went on talking, and I heard clearly that the villagers had knelt down with excitement and shouted …
"The governor is a good official and bodhisattva … Wang should remember that the governor is good even if he dies …"
In the face of a grateful face in front of me, a smile flashed quickly.
That’s why he said so much …
Re-issue a binge drinking. When everyone is quiet, the head of the village once again shouted, "You are right. We should all remember whether the Governor is good or not. We may have starved to death …"
After that, Tunchang’s eyes have shifted to those cattle and sheep that have been kept in captivity and shouted …
"Folks, Governor, let’s get better … buy us cattle and sheep at our own expense, let’s live a good life as soon as possible … now I’ll announce the distribution method of cattle and sheep …"
"These cattle and sheep are the same as those you haven’t got yet … I’ll give them to you first, so that when you have a harvest, you can buy them completely with food and silver from the governor’s office …"
"In order to help everyone, the price of the Governor’s Office is 100 taels of silver for a head of Niu Yi and 100 taels of silver for a sheep …"
When I saw that I was lost in thought, the head of the village continued to shout, "You should know that the price of a cattle has reached 120 and the price of a fat sheep has reached more than 120 … The Governor has lost a lot of money to help everyone …"
"One hundred and twenty silver looks like a lot … but it’s not … you should know that one plow cow is worth several strong laborers. After you have more cows, you can cultivate new farmland by yourself in addition to farming the governor’s office."
"According to the present five taels of silver for a load of grain (there are more than seven buckets left after a load of grain is made into rice), it takes twenty loads of grain to buy a cattle …"
"Twenty loads of grain is a year’s harvest of more than ten acres of land … if you can reclaim more acres of land, you can exchange it for a cattle in two or three years …"
"Not to mention the fat sheep … two loads of food can be exchanged for one … not only that, but when you buy back the ewe and give birth to a lamb, you will make a fortune …"
"So this is definitely a sure-fire way for everyone to make money. It is the opportunity that the Governor gives to the villagers. You must not let go … If you miss this opportunity, you can rely on the Governor’s Office to give you land to dig silver bit by bit …"
Tun long after finish some spirit pan QingZhuang has to react with a full face of excitement call way
"Tun grew up, my family has many children who can just come to herd sheep … I want a cow and three sheep …"
"I don’t need to rent cattle from others for a few days when I grow up in Tun … but we want six fat sheep in our family …"
Chapter two hundred and ten Ambition
In Zhuangnan, a stone and mud piled up in the courtyard, and a cow and three sheep had just been brought back before they began to boil.
Especially at home, the old man is old, and after seeing the fierce plowing in front of him, he keeps defending the plowing back and forth like his grandson. When the plowing turns to three fat sheep, it becomes the darling of two children, stroking the white wool of the fat sheep with excitement …
In the face of the sudden addition of several members to the family, my wife’s face is full of worries.
Because the husband brought this head of livestock home, it means that the family has a full 132 silver foreign debt at one time.
One hundred and thirty taels of silver, if you let yourself go before you came to Datong, it was impossible for your family to earn it back after ten years of hard work. I thought that the reason why you fled to Datong at the beginning was that your family owed five taels of silver to the local landlord, and finally the interest turned into dozens of taels, so you had to mortgage out only a few acres of land and houses at home, thus becoming a refugee.
And now I owe one hundred and thirty-two silver at a time … If I still interest, it won’t be long before one hundred and thirty-two silver will become hundreds of two silver.
When the time comes, will you and your family have a way out in the face of hundreds of taels of foreign debt …
