511: Attack on Fengyi County (19)
Wei Ci muttered, "This is a good idea, but the Tsing Yi Army claims to have 200,000 personnel, and there will definitely be more prisoners in the future." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lord Is it possible to throw all those captives away for mining? Even though the iron ore is rich, it can't be dug for long. ”
Once the number of captives exceeds a certain threshold, it will become a huge danger.
Mining and conscription must be hard, and if they mine all their lives, it is difficult to guarantee that these captives will not find a way to unite to make trouble.
There must be no fewer prisoners, and many coolies need to be taken prisoners, but not too much, because too many people will shoot themselves in the foot, and if they want to have a good reputation and become a true benevolent king, they even have to find a way to properly arrange their future path.
Wei Ci hopes that his lord will not only do good deeds, but also gain a good reputation, and not suffer as before.
He wouldn't make smart decisions for her, firstly, he did not have this mind, and secondly, His Majesty was not subject to human character.
Once or twice for her kindness, she can take it with a smile and don't care about people, but she has a lot of opinions, and she can't tolerate that person.
Therefore, Wei Ci only brought this point, and how to make the decision is completely up to her personal meaning.
Even if he didn't say it, she would realize this when the number of prisoners in the camp increased in the future.
Jiang Pengji thought for a while and said, "Zixiao's concern is unreasonable, in the future, we can't let all the defeated armies in the world be captured......
If you think about it carefully, Jiang Pengji's words are quite unruly.
Only then did she take Xiangyang County and Cheng'an County, and she decided that she was the co-master of the world, which is not too big?
“…… In this way, these captives will be sent to mine first, for a period of half a year, and if they behave well and have no other bad deeds, they can be given the opportunity to 'redeem themselves'. "The captives are considered slaves, even if they are not officially registered, but they are also considered her personal property.
These captives want to be free?
Yes, just find a way to redeem yourself.
Wei Ci twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Redeem yourself?"
Jiang Pengji said, "These prisoners of the Tsing Yi Army are different from the group of prisoners half a year ago, their style and behavior are very bad, if they are not tempered well, they can only be regarded as scum, and they are not of great use at all." It's better to let them dig a mine for half a year and calm down. ”
Of course, during this time, these captives remained "slaves".
"If they didn't get into trouble for half a year and performed very well, they were given a chance to temporarily serve as militia soldiers, receive simple training, and spend most of their days working on the wasteland and fields. During the slack period, they can participate in the construction of other labor, and give food or money according to the amount of labor. If they can make meritorious contributions to our army, they will be removed from their slave status as appropriate, and their free ...... will be returned."
Raising a group of useless captives, Jiang Pengji is naturally unwilling.
If they squeeze their labor force, this will also become a hidden danger, so it is better to tighten and loosen it to give some sweetness and hope.
This was not the final decision, but it also gave everyone a general direction for disposing of the captives.
There are too many abandoned fields in the north, and last year it experienced so much ground movement, many fields were uncultivated, and Cheng'an County missed last year's autumn harvest and this year's spring ploughing because of the Tsing Yi Army, which means that there was almost no harvest in two years.
There are many fields and little food, and I don't know how many people are still starving.
Jiang Pengji now has a lot of popularity points, and she can conjure a lot of food, but she doesn't rely on this channel.
A normal and healthy force should be self-sufficient, and even have rich food, which can not only feed the people, but also have enough money and food to fight the war. It is easy to exchange food in the mall, but without a complete food production system, you will starve to death without the system!
Don't forget, what she imprisons is only a "subsystem", and the ontology is still hidden in the corners of this world.
Not only that, but based on her several probes of the system, these popularity points should have other effects.
Out of these considerations, Jiang Pengji felt that these captives were still trying to shine, and they should not be idle.
Xu Ke groaned for a while, quite moved by Jiang Pengji's suggestion.
She gave the slaves the opportunity to "redeem themselves" and did not seal off all the retreats.
If these captives have the heart of repentance and behave well for half a year, they can be used as militia soldiers, cultivating fields for the army, and distributing the grain for the autumn harvest among the officials and the people, as for the ratio between the two, Jiang Pengji will not be too ruthless.
If the farm tools, improved seeds, and ploughing cattle are officially produced, the official harvest is 40%, and the people are divided into 60%.
If the farm tools, improved seeds, and ploughing cattle are produced by each household themselves, the official harvest is 30%, and the people are divided into 70%.
The fields are all owned by the government, and soldiers are sent as instructors to teach the way to fight and kill the enemy.
They also have the opportunity to go to war, and if they can make meritorious deeds, they can also get out of slavery according to the size of their merits.
If these people don't have the intention of doing this, they just want to be ordinary people, and they can participate in other paid work when they are not working.
If they work for a few years, they can even buy their own land, and the official harvest is 10%, and the people are 90%.
Jiang Pengji told the two strategists about her thoughts, and the more she talked, the more she had ideas, and her thinking became more active.
Her soldiers also have the habit of working in the fields during the autumn harvest and spring ploughing, because there were too many wasteland reclaimed in Xiangyang County last year, and each family was allocated a lot of fields, so they couldn't be busy at all, and the spring ploughing was so short, it would be a pity to miss it.
If God gives face this year, the grain harvested in the autumn can not only feed her army, but also feed the entire Xiangyang County, and there is still a surplus.
However, her soldiers were mainly trained, supplemented by farming and other labor.
The militia is mainly based on farming and labor, supplemented by training, and even if the combat quality is not high, it is better than that of ordinary people.
But......
Xu Ke frowned and asked, "This distribution ratio seems to be too much." ”
The government has provided farm tools, improved seeds, and cultivated cattle, and the profits should account for 50 percent instead of 40 percent, after all, the fields are not yet owned by the people, and there is no cost for them to rent the land, according to the lord, the grain collected by the government also includes grain taxes......
In this way, this proportion is even much lower than today's grain tax.
"The account can't be calculated like this, and it's not really much...... Wei Ci saw the doorway inside, "For the militia soldiers, it is estimated that the lord does not plan to pay silver, right? ”
Indeed, the food distributed by these militia soldiers belonged to them and was used for their own food.
The government did not pay money, and if war came and the enemy attacked, they would have to take up arms to defend themselves.
According to the conversion, it is equivalent to them farming their own land, raising themselves, and paying their own salaries, and they have to go to the battlefield to fight......
For the prosperous era in Wei Ci's memory, the proportion of this tax is a bit ruthless now.
However, the most attractive thing about it is that these poor and white captives have the opportunity to buy their own fields after some efforts, and the grain tax is one out of ten, that is, Jiang Pengji just said that the official harvest is one percent, and the people are divided into ninety.
For today's world, this tax ratio is unimaginable to the people.
