Yongcheng Thorn Mansion, now it should be called Yongwang Mansion, the original Thorn Mansion brand has been replaced.

"Lord, due to the rush of time, the humble post has not been able to build the palace according to the specifications, and can only carry out simple repairs to the original Thorn History Mansion, please forgive me." Song Yiming said respectfully to Guo Qi.

Hearing Song Yiming call himself a 'lord' instead of a 'prince', and call himself a 'lowly position' instead of a 'subordinate official'; Guo Qi was overjoyed, because this meant that Song Yiming recognized himself and officially became a member of his command, and a literati like Song Yiming was what Guo Qi lacked the most now.

"That's good!" Guo Qi said happily: "There is no need to engage in these formalisms in the future. ”

After entering the palace, Guo Qi was a little surprised, because the gap between this and when he came a few days ago was too big, Guo Qi couldn't help but ask Song Yiming: "Yiming, you won't finish repairing the palace in the past few days, right?" ”

"My lord, it's almost there, only one thing left is to enter the courtyard and hesitate to lack wood, and the repair has not been completed." Song Yiming said.

"If you don't have wood, don't fix it." Guo Qi said: "This king can't live in such a big place alone. ”

Entering the main hall, Guo Qi saw two maids walking in with tea, Guo Qi frowned.

Song Yiming explained to Guo Qi: "Before the lord came, the lowly post had already made arrangements for the palace, and the maids, cooks, old mothers, and coachmen were all ready. ”

"Yiming! This king really mistook you. ”

"My lord, what do you mean by this?"

"These maids or something, where are they going to go back there! This king doesn't need this, and now the entire Yongzhou is in ruins, and you, as the Yongcheng Commander, still have time to do this. Guo Qi said sternly.

"My lord, I know that I am wrong." Song Yiming immediately admitted his mistake and said: "But Lord Wang, someone must take care of your daily life!" ”

"You don't have to worry about that; Now immediately send someone to find Hu Qiong and them, and this king has something to discuss with you. ”

"No! Someone will be sent to do it. ”

After a while, several people came to the lobby of the palace.

Seeing Guo Qi and a few people saluting, "Meet the lord." ”

"Please take a seat, everybody!" Guo Qi said to a few people: "From now on, even if we have a foothold in Yongzhou, but this is just the beginning, and we are afraid that the days to come will only be more difficult;

Ling Jing, you are the Cangcheng Commander appointed by this king, you know best how many family backgrounds this king has, so you can tell everyone! ”

Ling Jing was originally the Cangcheng Lingcheng of Jingzhao Mansion, but he was forcibly brought by Guo Qi, although Guo Qi was the prince, but at the beginning Ling Jing didn't bird Guo Qi at all, no matter what Guo Qi said, he just refused to serve Guo Qi; Later, after slow contact, Guo Qi finally obtained Ling Jing's approval, and Guo Qi accepted this talent as he wished.

"No! My lord, my lords; After the consumption along the way, there are still 113,000 stones of grain, 19,850 stones of salt, 10,000 stones of tea, 30,000 horses of cloth, 10,000 horses of silk, 10,000 horses of silk, 3,000 catties of various medicinal materials, 2,000 catties of refined iron, 89,321 taels of silver, 3,000 taels of gold, 3,000 sets of iron armor, 5,000 sets of leather armor, 17,000 spears, 13,000 swords, 7,000 shields, 5,000 bows and crossbows, 150,000 arrows, and 230,000 arrows......

This is all the family background in Yongzhou today, and some of them were left in Yu County by the prince. Ling Jing reported.

"Yiming, tell us how many people there are in Yongzhou today?" Guo Qi asked Song Yiming.

"My lord, Yongzhou now has a registered population of one hundred and seven thousand six hundred and fifty-three; There were 21,025 households, of which 36,721 were single and strong, and 30,257 were families; Of the 40,675 women and children, 2,953 were orphans, ranging from six to sixteen years old......

In the past few days, the lowly office has organized everyone to repair the houses and city walls of Yongcheng, but due to the lack of timber, only about half of them have been repaired; But it was enough to squeeze in, and the city walls had been basically repaired; In the past two days, people have been organized to move to villages and towns outside the city, mainly in the eastern and southern areas of Yongcheng......"

After listening to Song Yiming's report, Guo Qi nodded and said: "In the next step, our focus is to move most of the people out of Yongcheng and arrange them in the surrounding villages and towns. Five years later everything will be owned by the people. ”

"Lord, this kind of child is not a problem, but I am afraid that this farm tool, ploughing cattle and houses cannot be solved for a while, especially the houses, which require a lot of bricks and manpower."

"This king has already thought about it: the farm tools are made of those two thousand catties of refined iron, and if the iron is not enough, you can go to the surrounding mountains to find out if there is any iron ore; We can't build the houses ourselves, we burn the bricks ourselves, and the wood goes to the woods in the mountains to cut wood; And from now on, the 'armor protection meritorious service system' will be implemented in Yongzhou. ”

"My lord, what is this 'armor protection meritorious system'?" Song Yiming asked.

"This armor meritorious system is a system created by this king; The protection in this is the meaning of protection, and A is the establishment of the people's peasant households; Merit, that is, how much work the people do, they can rely on these feats in exchange for food, and the higher the merit, the priority can be given to houses......"

Guo Qi said his thoughts, in fact, this is just the prototype of the armor protection meritorious system, and the great credit for the Yongjun army to conquer the world in the future is because of this system; This system is somewhat similar to cash-for-work.

The next day, the notice of the armor protection meritorious service system was pasted all over Yongcheng, and the notice read as follows:

First, all the wasteland in Yongzhou was owned by Yongwangfu.

Second, the implementation of merit relief, all the people can get merit points according to their own labor, merit points can be used to exchange grain and rented land, the higher the merit value, the more priority can be given to houses and land.

Third, all people are exempted from taxes for five years, and land is rented and cultivated; The palace provides farm tools, seeds, cattle, etc.; The land reclaimed by the people shall not be owned by the royal government within five years, and according to the different fertility of the land, the royal government shall set the number of outputs of each household in each year, and half of the output shall be owned by the royal government; If the required amount of output is not reached, a penalty is imposed for overpayment, and if the prescribed amount is exceeded, the excess food goes to the individual.

Fourth, defend the homeland; All young and strong men in Yongzhou must serve in the military on time, and during the military service, the palace will provide food, lodging, weapons, etc., and if they are injured, disabled or killed in battle during the service, they will have the royal palace pension.

Fifth, the noble title can be exchanged for a title by merit points, and the higher the title, the more merit points are required.

The promulgation of the meritorious system of armor protection was thrown into the people of Yongzhou like a **, in order to be able to get more food, priority was given to the allocation of houses and rented land; All the enthusiasm of the people was immediately adjusted, and the entire Yongzhou entered a fast lane of rapid development.

However, due to the lack of iron farming tools, some people can only use wooden farming tools, which is relatively inefficient.
