The winter in Fanyang Mansion is very different from previous years, although it is severe cold and the weather is bitterly cold, but in the cold wind, the enthusiasm of the villagers has not diminished at all.

As the villagers of the earliest twelve agricultural forts in the Yucheng area, they finally lived, the first vicious fat year of their lives, not to mention being able to eat a full meal, have a new house to live in, have new clothes to wear, and there are some meat in the food from time to time. After the rectification of the civil affairs officials in Fanyang Mansion, they were eagerly waiting for the land reform and rectification.

Liu Feng knows that when agricultural production still occupies a major position in the whole economy, the land population can be the first of all resources, how to make good use of the land manpower, to bring great benefits to Fanyang Mansion, is he to think carefully, although the villagers in the south of Yucheng Nongbao, there are great benefits, but for Liu Feng, in terms of money, it is only a balance of payments, the biggest benefit provided by the agricultural fort in the south of Yucheng to Liu Feng is the stability of the population, the provision of food, and the tax is only a very small part.

And Deng Junliang and others in the reclamation of the land north of Yucheng, they hesitated again and again, Xingzhou, Jizhou, Cizhou three counties are not the same as Yucheng South, although the same war was abandoned, but there are still some large and small tycoons in various places, they have their own land tenant farmers, in terms of policy can not be generalized with Yuchengnan, they do not have so much courage, and these already dilapidated families turned face.

Liu Feng also knew that a good and suitable land policy would bring great impetus to production under his rule, and in this era, more than 70 percent of the population were farmers who farmed, and if he could liberate 20 percent of the villagers from farming because of the progress of land policy and productive forces, and use them for the development of industrial production, the development of his Fanyang Mansion would be unlimited.

However, if the taxes are heavy and the land is lost and barren is serious, he will only be a slightly larger stone in the long river of history, and the splash will be annihilated immediately.

Therefore, in the formulation of land policy, Liu Feng was cautious and important, and after repeated consultations, he formulated the "Fanyang Mansion Land Ordinance"

That is, all the land under the rule of Fanyang Province is owned by Fanyang Province, and the private cultivated land under the administration of Fanyang Province is compensated as appropriate;

The land under its jurisdiction is cultivated in the mode of farming, and the operation mode of the agricultural fort will be divided into a variety of ways, which can be organized and produced by Fanyang Mansion, and all the infrastructure is responsible for Fanyang Mansion, and the income of Farmer Forts is divided into three parts, Fanyang Mansion gets two into taxes, Farmer Forts get four percent of it as agricultural fort operations, and four of the villagers who rent seeds become their respective incomes.

The merchant families in various places can contract on their own, and the operation of the agricultural forts planned by each county must raise all the agricultural labor by themselves, and the income of the peasant forts only needs to pay a tax of 10% and 5.

Fortunately, the long-term war between Xingzhou and Jizhou has caused the villagers to be displaced, the household registration has been relocated, and a large number of fields have been deserted.

And when the news came out, the most exciting thing was the villagers, the success of Yuchengnan, so that these villagers in Fangyuan understood the benefits of joining this kind of agricultural fort, Liu Feng was also recruiting villagers from all over the country to come to Xingzhou and Jizhou.

For a time, the spies of the villagers' merchant families flocked to them, and the villagers came to find a way to survive, but those merchants had a keen sense of smell, heard the news of Yucheng's wealth, and came to seek business opportunities to make a fortune, and the spies of the family were to find opportunities to cooperate with the three counties.

As the villagers who entered Erzhou one after another, after rectification, they entered the army of the workshop and mineral farming fort, and Fanyang Mansion became more and more prosperous.

Liu Yandong, the envoy of the tuntian, was also busy again, and his subordinate Sitian organized old farmers with inspections, carefully surveying the land in various places, and planning the canals and wells.

Liu Feng gave a strict order, and also gave a heavy reward, three counties and eighteen counties, to effectively implement the land decree of Fanyang Mansion, Cizhou County Shou Zeng Xiangru, Xingzhou County Shou Ding Mingde, Jizhou County Shou Yuwen Jiayou also carefully supervised the Sitian County Order in the survey.

To the delight of Liu Feng and others, the land available for cultivation in the three counties amounted to more than 20 million mu, and most of the terrain was flat and fertile, especially in Xingzhou and Jizhou, where there were many rivers and were conducive to irrigation.

Fortunately, these lands are not completely wasteland, but they have been barren for a few years, and the original canals and so on are still preserved, as long as they are repaired, they can continue to be cultivated and used.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, the craftsman camp in Yucheng will also be put into production day and night, the whole Fanyang Mansion has a atmosphere, the atmosphere of the whole people's war, whether it is the villagers of the three counties, or the villagers who came to defect, have joined this unprecedented "battle", fighting for their own lives, in the ice and snow night, there is no complaint.

Liu Yandong's farming camp in Yucheng, after Liu Feng's guidance and the practical operation of the old farmers, has also carried out a variety of experiments to improve the yield per mu, and has put a lot of effort into the selection and breeding of seeds. At present, the only way to increase the yield per mu is to intensively cultivate, increase the irrigation area, effectively increase the application of fertilizer, and adopt a rotational farming system.

In this regard, Sitian everywhere came to the farming camp in Yucheng to learn from the experience, some of these Sitian are older officials, and some are scholars from the Southern Tang Dynasty or Northern Han Dynasty who have just joined Fanyang Mansion, but they have received a different education in Yucheng.

The old farmer gave them a lesson, how could this make these consciously high-minded officials accept, and they were about to make a big fuss, but after seeing Liu Feng respectfully greeting the old farmer, he also sat in the hall and listened to the old farmer's lecture.

Si Tian, who was still a little unconvinced, didn't dare to say anything, but the old farmer saw that Liu Feng was so supportive, and he also let go of his courage and told these Si Tian about farming techniques and so on.

After the lecture, Liu Feng was like a student, and after saluting the old peasants, he bowed to the many officials in the hall. Lang said: "Han Wengong once said, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, the old farmer in the hall, in the farming room, is our teacher, how can you not respect it?" ”

Many officials in the hall were silent when they heard the words.

Liu Feng shook his head again and said seriously: "If I am not so strict, if after the autumn harvest next year, the yield per mu of the agricultural fort under your rule can exceed the mu yield of the twelve agricultural forts in Yucheng, then you will be credited with the first merit, and I will treat it as a teacher!" ”

The officials under the hall looked at each other, and some of them were determined to live up to the trust of the king! Some also sang that they would wait for next year's autumn harvest and would come to compete with Yucheng, but more often than not, they gathered in front of the old farmers and continued to discuss farming matters.

And the news that Liu Feng attaches so much importance to farming has also spread in the north, and the villagers of the three counties have been grateful to Liu Feng for their voices, and the nickname of "Liu Maniac" has long been gone, but his name of martial arts and benevolence has spread.

Liu Feng, who has a good reputation, is worried again at the moment, the first firing of tiles failed, and the gold and silver in the treasury are not enough for him to squander so much, and there is an economic crisis.
