Chapter 0567: Gan Nan Xing Province
As the saying goes: the people take food as the sky.
Kale County has been plagued by demonic disasters, and this time after war, it is about to reach a situation where the people are not able to make a living.
There is still some food in Nanhuang County, which can temporarily supply Kale County, but at most it is guaranteed that there will be no starvation all over the wilderness, and it is impossible to feed everyone.
Therefore, the resumption of agricultural production is a top priority, otherwise all other reforms will be empty talk.
If you don't have enough to eat, what strength do you have to rebuild your home?
The first problem to be solved in resuming agricultural production is land reform, which is to redistribute land to ensure that the cultivators have their own land.
In today's Arthurian Kingdom, commoners rarely own their own land, and most of them rent the land of lords and nobles, barely making ends meet.
If you are born in a tenant family, most of the harvest of the year must be handed over to the lord, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to guarantee food and clothing.
To put it bluntly, the lords and nobles are the landlords and old wealth of the West.
Renard's land reform is to save these people from their hard lives, not because he is great, but because land reform can bring him very good benefits.
First of all, if everyone has land, there will not be too much labor wasted, let alone wasted arable land.
Secondly, if you plant your own fields, the farmers will be more motivated, and the grain production will definitely increase slightly.
The most immediate benefit is that there will be no more food crises, and no more people will starve to death.
With their own land, food production will also increase, and the income of the common people will certainly increase accordingly, and the increase in income will lead to the generation of other consumption, and the territorial tax revenue will increase significantly.
Naturally, everyone knew the importance of land reform, and they all patted their chests and promised: "We will complete land reform in the shortest possible time, restore agricultural production, and strive to become self-sufficient after the autumn harvest next year." ”
Renard nodded when he heard this, although these doglegs have a lot of small problems, they never dare to procrastinate in major matters, which is why he is relieved to hand over this important matter to them.
However, he still instructed with some anxiety: "When you come to Kale County, you must be a low-key person, do things in a high-profile manner, and tell me directly if you have any difficulties." ”
"I know the situation in Kale County very well, so to speak, there is nothing to say, if you need materials or manpower
support, albeit raised, does not need to be verbose. ”
When the crowd heard him say this, they hesitated for a moment, and then they really made many demands.
The most important thing is food supply, and if you want the people to have the motivation to rebuild their homes, the first thing is to have enough to eat, and only when you have enough food can you have the strength to work.
For this matter, Renard has already made arrangements.
Large quantities of grain have already arrived in Kale County and are being distributed to the people at the bottom, and there will be a steady stream of food to ensure that no one will starve to death before next autumn's harvest.
Then there are the tools for the resumption of production, and the tools and animals are indispensable.
There are a lot of farming tools, and they have basically been distributed in place, and it is a little difficult to do farming animals, but it is not impossible to solve.
There are also many horses in the army that have retired due to old age or injury, and although they cannot continue to gallop on the battle array, they are still more than enough for farming.
The material problem has been solved, and the personnel must also be put in place.
Reform is not a simple matter of lip service and requires many people to supervise its implementation.
So Tommy and others proposed to transfer all the subordinates who cooperated with them more tacitly to Kale County.
Lei Ye thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
However, considering the vastness of Kale County, he gave more support: "Abundant Academy has recently graduated a group of students who are proficient in government affairs, and they have not yet arranged a job, so they will be temporarily transferred to you. ”
These students are Lei Ye's reserve cadres, and they were originally intended to be used in barren lands, but now it seems that they have to be suitable for Cabbage County first.
Then he said in a stern tone: "You must cultivate these people well, they may become the mainstay of the political circles of Gannan Province in the future." ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, and they all replied solemnly: "We will definitely do our best to cultivate." ”
They don't say this just to show their loyalty, but to have their own thoughts.
Renard said that these people could become the mainstay of the political circles in Gannan Province, and that would definitely be eight or nine out of ten.
If there are a few people with real talents and practical work and gain authority, it will be good political capital for them, and that's how the friends come from.
Renard Since
However, I didn't know everyone's careful thoughts, and when I saw that they all had serious expressions, I also put my mind at ease.
Once you've got that in place, it's time to think about where to start.
Land reform began to be carried out as early as the arrival of the army in Kale County, and in many places the land reform had already been completed, and even the seeds had already been sown in the fields, just waiting for next autumn harvest.
Most of the resistance to reform came from the lords and nobles who were not affected by the war, and they still held power in their hands and would not easily cede it to others.
Fortunately, Renard has thought of a few good targets, and there are a few lords in Kale County who can make good use of it.
At the top of the list was naturally Count Edward.
It's no wonder that Lei Yeen will take revenge and have a thick face and a black heart, there is really no way to do it.
In order to get the lords and nobles to support the reform, someone had to take the lead.
Of course, he can't really let the other party suffer: "You tell Count Edward that I will buy the land in his hands at twice the market price, and at the same time give the same amount of arable land in Nanhuang County as compensation." ”
If you want the other side to take the lead in supporting the reform, it is certainly impossible to not shed some blood.
Renard knew the other man's temper, and it was unlikely that he would be able to give in to these fears, so he added: "If his sergeant is willing to enlist, I can also make thoughtful arrangements." ”
Through the Gestapo, Lei Ye learned that Count Edward treated his sergeants very well, just because these sergeants were the orphans of his comrades.
If these people can be given a good future, Count Edward will have to support the reform.
Renard provided material and personnel help to several doglegs, and also selected their targets, and even gave them the right to transfer troops, and the rest of the matter naturally depends on their means.
After the matter was discussed, everyone rushed to make arrangements, and Lei Ye did not stay.
Before leaving, Tommy suddenly said, "In terms of army allocation, can you arrange for Tracy and Austin to help?"
Lei Ye only reacted when he heard this, a few doglegs did not have much contact with the top level of the army, even if they were given the right to mobilize the army, if they really encountered something, I am afraid that no one would obey the command.
So he nodded and said, "Let Tracy and Austin cooperate with you and make sure to complete all the tasks by the end of the year." ”
