Chapter 81: Population and Conscription
"Fellow villagers, our People's Army is the people's army, the people's army, we are a family, those officials and landlords who oppress and exploit us have been driven out by the People's Army, and everyone is going to live a good life.
Now I want to count the area of farmland around Renheli and the specific population of Renheli, and when the statistics are finished and reported, after the above approval is completed, I can allocate farmland to everyone in Renheli, which belongs to your own farmland, and everyone in Renheli will be able to eat enough in the future, and there is no need to be oppressed and exploited by the government and landlords. ”
Governor Zhao Xili gathered all the heads of households in Renheli, and Wang Gui introduced and propagated the People's Army to these ordinary people, and at the same time quickly united the common people by allocating farmland.
After Wang Gui's words, the common people heard that they were about to own farmland, and they couldn't speak with excitement, most of the people didn't have as many ideas as Zhao Xi, they didn't care about the government and landlords, and they didn't care about the People's Army, they only knew that the People's Army was going to be allocated farmland by them, and they were very happy.
"I finally have my own farmland."
"It's about to be a good day."
"I'll finally be able to eat enough in the future."
……
The people in Renhe cheered, if Wang Gui was not still here, they would all run home and share the good news with their wives and children.
Seeing the happy looks of others, even if Zhao Xi was still very worried about the People's Army in his heart, he could only show a smile with the others now, Zhao Xi didn't want to destroy everyone's just rising hope by himself.
After Wang Gui finished speaking, he also took formal action, counting how many households and how many people there are, how many adults, and how many minors there are, and only counting how much farmland there is in the area of Renheli, how much farmland can be designated as high-class fields, and how many farmlands can be designated as medium-class fields and low-class fields.
After all the data were counted, Wang Gui returned to Yong'an County with the data and reported it to the People's Military Government, waiting for the instructions of his superiors.
The People's Army has just occupied Yong'an County for a few days, and for the time being, it only controls Yong'an County and the surrounding areas, and there are still large areas in Yong'an County waiting for the People's Army to attack and eliminate all the evil landlords and big households in those areas, and the People's Army Government is also very busy.
On the day Wang Gui returned with the data and information of Renheli, the superiors gave instructions to let Wang Gui distribute farmland to the people of Renheli in accordance with the "Farmland Distribution System", and by the way, he also reminded Wang Gui that before and after the allocation of farmland, the people of Renheli must be returned to their hearts as soon as possible to prepare for the subsequent conscription.
Conscription is a very important matter for the People's Army, the People's Army has a lot of troops, and after several battles, there are casualties, and the total strength is still more than 10,000, and even because the prisoners are digested and absorbed after ideological education, the strength of the People's Army is a little more than before the flag is raised.
However, the total strength of the People's Army is still too different from that of the Ming Army, especially the elite of the People's Army only has firearms troops, and the combat effectiveness of firearms units is higher than that of any Ming army with the same number, but outside of firearms troops, there are some battles in the first camp, and the combat effectiveness of other cold weapons units is relatively weak.
With the same number of people, the combat effectiveness of the cold weapon troops is even inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty Guards.
Limited by the production of tiger head guns, it takes two months for the firearms unit to increase by one company, and the cold weapons unit does not have sufficient combat effectiveness; in general, it is good for the cold weapons unit to have a larger number of troops, at least in the implementation of the defense of the city, the elimination of large landlords and bandits, can be more assured.
In this way, the firearms troops can concentrate on dealing with the attacking Ming Dynasty army, and the redundant cold weapons troops will also assist the firearms troops in battle.
At present, only Yong'an County and Haifeng County are under the rule of the People's Army, and there are more than 1,400 counties under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the population of small counties is only tens of thousands, and the population of large counties is more than 100,000.
The People's Army was able to gather 10,000 soldiers from Yong'an County and Haifeng County before, and if it wants to raise 10,000 soldiers to 20,000 soldiers, it needs to unite all the ordinary people in Yong'an County and Haifeng County.
In addition, there is also good news, the People's Army has requisitioned most of the blacksmiths and carpenters in Yong'an County and Haifeng County, and has escorted them to Hutou Village, giving these new blacksmiths and carpenters some time to become proficient in the process, and the output of Hutou guns is expected to increase to more than 100 in January in the future.
If Fang Nan can form a firearms force of 10,000 people, he will be able to fight from Guangdong to the capital, of course, even if Fang Nan can form such a firearms force now, it is impossible to really do this, and then the whole world will be in chaos, the people will be displaced, and I don't know how many people will die because of the war.
……
The people of Renheli did not wait long, Wang Gui's working group only returned after a day of departure, and the group of five people was surrounded by the people who learned the news before they reached the village.
"Officer Wang, has the matter been decided, do you really want to divide the farmland for us?"
"Officer Wang, how much farmland can I get?"
"Officer Wang, can my children also be allocated farmland?"
……
The common people in Renhe were talking nonsense, their eyes were staring at Wang Gui, with a thirst in their eyes, what a hard-won opportunity to be able to obtain their own farmland, even if they had never heard of the People's Army before, as long as the People's Army gave them farmland, they would listen to the People's Army in the future.
"The matter is decided, and the farmland can be divided among everyone immediately." Wang Gui said in a somewhat thirsty voice.
Zhao Xi seemed to feel Wang Gui's state at this time, and hurriedly said: "Let's let everyone go first, let Director Wang go to the village to drink saliva, and the farmland will not be short of everyone." ”
Wang Gui's words made the people overjoyed, and Zhao Xi's words also made the people think of their own inappropriateness, and quickly made way for Wang Gui, and let Wang Gui go into the village to drink saliva and rest first.
Entering the village, Wang Gui drank a few sips of water, rested a little, and then said to the people who had not left the surroundings:
"Our People's Army has a unified regulation on the allocation of farmland to the common people, this is the case in Renheli, and it is also the case in other villages, all adults are granted farmland equivalent to four acres of medium field, and minors are granted farmland equivalent to two acres of medium field, this is private land, you are not allowed to buy and sell privately, and if anyone wants to join the People's Army, they can also get an additional ten acres and ten acres of farmland equivalent to medium field......"
