I only heard Guo Wendong say: "From now on, you will cultivate on my field, and you will no longer have to pay rent." ”

Don't have to pay land rent? Both the tenants present and the people staying in the village were completely confused! There is no landlord in the world who does not collect rent.

Guo Wendong continued: "In the future, my land will no longer be rented, but you will be hired to farm, as long as everyone works hard, you can get a good amount of silver." ”

This decision was a surprise to everyone.

Not being a tenant but being employed by a landlord does not mean that it is better than a tenant, the key is how well it is treated, if the salary is too low, life is also difficult.

"Guo Gongzi, I don't know how much the monthly salary is?"

Someone took the lead in asking questions.

Guo Wendong said: "You are employed by me Guo Wendong to farm on my land, and you will be paid one tael of silver a month. ”

A tael of silver a month? The people at the scene were all the same, and there was such a good thing in the world, many people couldn't believe their ears.

Looking at the reaction of the tenants, Guo Wendong said again: "I repeat again, one or two silver per month, and gifts and red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, not only that, but you can also keep 30% of the harvest you cultivate, if you are sick, you will be treated free of charge in the hospital, and your family will be treated at half price when you are sick." I said that I want you to be the people who can live the best life in the Ming Dynasty. ”

His special reiteration was confirmed by everyone, and the scene immediately cheered.

Doing things for Guo Gongzi, the treatment is so good, it is simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.

Every tenant was elated, and many were emotional.

"Guo Gongzi, I will work for you all my life!"

"Guo Gongzi, you are a good person! You are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva! ”

"My whole family is grateful to Guo Gongzi!"

…………

Some people were so excited that they even started crying.

Seeing such a reaction, a smile appeared on the corner of Guo Wendong's mouth, this is the effect he wants. The ancient people were too difficult, if you can give them a good life, you will naturally be a great benefactor.

In ancient times, if the rulers could feed the people, they could win the hearts of the people and be supported by the people.

Chunxiang next to her witnessed such a scene, her heart was extremely comfortable, she was happy for the young master, turned her head to the young master and said, "Young master, the villagers are all grateful to you." ”

Guo Wendong said slowly: "This is the people's heart!" ”

At this time, an old man in his fifties knelt down, and many people immediately knelt down, and finally, all of them knelt down.

Guo Wendong is not a hard-hearted person, his heart has been infected, and the people of this era are too bitter.

"Everybody, get up! Get up! ”

He shouted several times in a row before the villagers got up one after another.

Even other tenants and yeoman farmers in the village came to Shaguping one after another after hearing the news.

"Guo Gongzi, there are too many taxes from the government, I don't want to farm on my own land, I want to do it with you."

A certain yeoman farmer spoke, a young man in his twenties.

Other yeoman farmers responded one after another, saying that they would farm for Guo Wendong.

However, even if they do not farm, they have to pay taxes as long as they have land in their name, unless they sell it.

Guo Wendong said: "You all stand on that side, first be quiet and don't speak loudly, wait for me to discuss the matter here, and then discuss it with you, otherwise it will not be considered." ”

He pointed to the east side of the sun-dried valley flat.

What he said had an immediate effect, and the yeoman farmers and other tenants who had come out of the village walked quickly to the designated place and stood honestly, lest Guo Gongzi be unhappy and not want them.

Guo Wendong then faced his tenants and said: "Give me Guo Wendong to farm, the treatment is very good, but you must meet the requirements before you want it." There is no limit to men and women, men are required to be 18 to 30 years old, and a monthly salary of one or two silver; A woman is between fifteen and fifty years old, and she is paid six pieces of silver a month. Those who grow crops are called planters, and those who raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock are called breeders. ”

Women are naturally not suitable for military training and going to war, but they can still engage in agriculture. For example, growing vegetables, raising livestock, and doing some logistical work.

In Guo Wendong's land, men mainly grow staple foods, such as rice and wheat, and there are busy and idle times, but vegetable planting and poultry breeding can be divided into busy and idle farming, and while the men are trained, women continue to engage in agricultural production.

There were two very different reactions, those in the age range rejoicing in it, and those who were overage were chilled.

Guo Wendong continued: "Everyone knows that the thieves are powerful, and they once invaded Fengyang a few years ago, and the Manchu Qing often entered the customs to plunder, and Jiangnan may not be very safe. The men who planted my crops must be trained in the slack time, and if the enemy comes, you will fight with me to defend the homeland. ”

The sound of the horn fell, and the scene returned to silence, with more than a thousand pairs of eyes staring at Guo Wendong.

At this time, Dongfang Jun next to him said in a low voice: "Young Master, can you let me say a few words?" ”

Guo Wendong gave him the horn.

Dongfang Jun took the horn and said to everyone: "The young master said that he would make you the best people in the Ming Dynasty, and he can do it." However, if an enemy comes, they will encroach on the land and property of large families, and they will also kill the people, and everyone's good life will come to an end, and even their lives will be lost. Guo Gongzi wants to train everyone, that is, to defend the homeland, whether it is a thief or a slave, he must drive them away. ”

Although everyone is a farmer, I have heard of the things of thieves and slaves.

"Defend your homeland!"

Dongfang Jun raised his hands and shouted slogans.

The emotions of the people at the scene were aroused, and they shouted slogans.

"Defend your homeland! Defend your homeland! ………”

The voices of more than a thousand people resounded in the sky.

At this time, Guo Wendong looked at Dongfang differently and actually started ideological mobilization work.

Immediately, Dongfang returned the horn to Guo Wendong.

Guo Wendong said: "You did a good job, go and dig up Liu Xingzhi quickly after the meeting, if you perform well in the future, I will definitely reuse it." ”

When he said those words just now, Dongfang Jun's brain immediately started working and he came up with this method. When he was praised by his master, he was happy.

Next, Guo Wendong turned to the yeoman farmers and other tenants and said: "If you still have land in your name, it's very simple, sell the land to me, and I will buy it at the market price, and I won't have to pay taxes to the government in the future; If you rent other land, you will no longer rent it after this year's grain harvest, and if you come to me, as long as it meets the requirements, I will ask for it. ”

These hundreds of people were also excited, and they were eager to do things for Guo Gongzi immediately, but this year's crops had already been planted, and they could only wait until the crops were harvested, and the rest of the tenants could only wait.

Most of the yeoman farmers enthusiastically said they wanted to sell their land to Guo Gongzi.

After saying what should be said, Guo Wendong handed over the loudspeaker to Fang Jieli and asked him to be responsible for handling specific work, including personnel registration and statistics, screening, and inquiries about specific questions.

Dongfang Jun and two other people were on site to assist.

Guo Wendong went to the other side, he was only responsible for managing people, and the specific affairs were done by the corresponding subordinates, and it was impossible to do everything himself.
