The armistice negotiations between the People's Army and the Ming Court have not yet been formally reached, and the autumn harvest has arrived, whether it is a tenant who rents the landlord's land or a yeoman farmer who has his own land, looking at the farmers who are about to harvest in the field, they have been waiting for this day for many months, and they can finally harvest, they represent the hope of life.

Compared with the peasants in the Ming Dynasty, the peasants in the People's Army-ruled areas had a bigger smile.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the peasant households were tenants who relied on renting landlords' land for their livelihood, and the emergence of the People's Army made Zhu Yijun understand that the landlords' exploitation of tenants would have serious consequences, but now the landlords were still a very important component for the Ming court.

The Ming court even ordered that the landlords be allowed to form escort teams and gather the forces of the landlords in an attempt to resist or even exterminate the people's army.

If Zhu Yijun ordered the landlord's land to be distributed to the common people, I am afraid that the next moment the Ming Dynasty will collapse, so that the peasant households in the Ming ruling area are still oppressed by the landlords.

However, the situation of these peasant households is slightly better now, the landlord has set up a guard team, and the members of the guard team are young and strong people from peasant families, as long as there are young and strong people participating in the escort team, the landlord will at least let the peasant family have enough to eat, after all, the landlord still wants someone to give him his life, if the family is starving to death, the landlord is afraid of when he will be stabbed by his own men.

Needless to say, Guangdong Province, which was completely occupied a few years ago, was divided among the common people immediately after the People's Army established the People's Army in various localities in the four provinces of Guangxi, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Huguang, and after the People's Army established the People's Military Government in various localities, the People's Army immediately distributed land to the common people, with four acres of land for adults and two acres for minors.

Previously, under the rule of the Ming court, both the government and the landlords demonized the People's Army, and after the People's Army occupied these areas, the common people were very afraid and did not dare to contact the People's Army, but with the efforts of the People's Army, the common people gradually accepted the People's Army, supported and supported the People's Army, and they felt that the People's Army was much better than the government.

This is their own farmland, and they don't even need to pay a penny of agricultural tax to the People's Army (the agricultural tax is still cultivated public land for the time being), and thinking about so much grain piled up at home is something they have never encountered in their lives.

"God is open-minded, thanks to the People's Army for driving out those hateful landlords, and thanks to the People's Army for giving us land, no one in the old Li family will starve to death in the future."

"My son is about to grow up, when you grow up, your father will send you to join the People's Army, the Metropolitan Governor is a good person, the Metropolitan Governor will definitely lead the People's Army to let the poor people in the world live a good life, and the damn government will never come back."

"The People's Army is not a demon, the People's Army is the patron saint of our people, and the Metropolitan Governor is an immortal sent by God to rescue us poor people."

……

It is so simple to win the support of the people, as long as the people have land to grow and eat, how many people in the world are willing to rebel? The conspirators are in the minority, after all.

However, the People's Army's kindness to the common people was not finished, and when the autumn came, the soldiers of the People's Army distributed in various parts of the People's Army's ruled areas went deep into the rural areas in companies and platoons to help the people harvest crops.

The recruits in the recruit training bases in various places did not continue their training, and they also went to help the common people harvest crops under the leadership of instructors.

In the past, the common people were very afraid of being soldiers, especially the Ming army, which was more terrible than bandits and bandits in many cases, and the People's Army was also the same, and in nearly half a year, it was enough for the people to feel the difference between the People's Army and the Ming Army, and they were no longer so afraid of being soldiers.

Seeing the People's Army coming to help them harvest the crops, they greeted each other with a smile, the whole family went into battle, there was nothing good for the People's Army to eat at home, it was necessary to serve tea and pour water, at least the soldiers could not be thirsty, looking at the busy People's Army soldiers in the fields, the people were more cordial in their hearts, and even some people thought that their sons and adults could also be sent to join the People's Army.

The veterans of the People's Army have become accustomed to coming to help the common people with farm work during the spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and even in their free time, they will go to the countryside to see what the common people have to help with at home, and repairing the roof has become an essential skill for many People's Army soldiers.

It was the first time that the recruits in the training stage came to help the people with farm work, and they did these farm jobs at home, but it was a little strange why the KPA had to help the people with farm work.

The instructor knew that the recruits might have doubts, so he said:

"Our People's Army is the people's army and the people's army, our task is to protect the people, so that the people can live a good life, what is it to do farm work for the people, and you think about it, if you join the People's Army, there is one less laborer in your family, you are here to help other ordinary people do farm work, maybe there are other comrades-in-arms in your family who are helping your family do farm work."

The recruits thought about it, there is really such a possibility, but the recruits who are in the Ming Dynasty are somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts, their relatives are still renting the landlord's land for a living, and their own labor force cannot return home for the time being, I don't know if the family has been bullied, and I don't know if the grain harvested by the family this year can make the family have enough to eat.

At this moment, they were even more eager for the People's Army to defeat the Ming Dynasty and bring the whole world under the rule of the People's Army, so that their families who were still living in the Ming ruled area would be able to have their own fields and never go hungry again.

The people's food is the sky, the people's army's industry has only just started for less than two years, and the importance of agriculture to the people's army is far greater than that of industry.

Compared with previous years, there will be more rain this summer, and water conservancy facilities in the newly occupied four provinces are still under construction, which will reduce the yield of farmland slightly, and this situation will change next year.

Looking at the autumn harvest, Fang Nan was thinking about one thing in his mind, industrial development requires a lot of labor, and agricultural planting also needs a lot of labor, with the continuous development of industry, there will be a conflict between the two, and it is necessary to liberate a part of the agricultural labor force to the industrial side.

Under normal circumstances, if a farmer family has a ploughing cow, there is no problem for a family to cultivate dozens of acres of land, but the reality is that there are too many people and too few cattle and horses, and it is difficult for ten farming families to have one ploughing ox.

It is no longer a problem for the People's Army to destroy the Ming Court, and Fang Nan has set its sights on the north of the Ming Court - the Tatars, and some of the Tatar tribes are cattle, horses and sheep, and they will snatch back the Tatar cattle, horses and sheep to meet their own needs.

However, the Tatars were mainly cavalry, while the KPA had relatively few cavalry, which was a serious problem.
