Looking at the chaotic city wall below in the smoke of the explosion, Yang Xin threw another grenade with satisfaction, and then picked up his big horn again.

"I hereby declare."

He shouted to the laughing people of the city.

The latter immediately stopped.

At the same time, the falling grenade also exploded, and Shen Tingyang and the others below continued to perform their panic, after all, no one thought that this thing could be used to do this, if he kept throwing it like this, he would still defend himself......

"First, release the slaves.

Wuxi, Jiangyin two counties, all slaves and maids are in accordance with the Taizu system checked, no right to keep slaves and slaves, slaves and maids will be released as good people, the right to keep slaves beyond the Taizu system part, all released as good people, all released slaves and maids, by the original owner each issued five taels of silver for placement, willing to continue to stay in the original owner's home as a hired labor, unwilling to sign up by the official to resettle. ”

Yang Xin shouted.

In the Taizu system, there is no one to keep slaves.

There are only twelve first-class members of the Taizu system, and it is estimated that the prefect and Wuxi magistrate have the right to raise a few slaves and maids in this Wuxi city.

The gentry had no power.

The gentry looked at him with grief and indignation.

There was an immediate cheer among the common people......

It's not that there are too many slaves and maids in this, but after a large number of slaves and maids are released, there is hope for the singles immediately, in the final analysis, in the case of the same ratio of men and women, how many people are beaten by the hundreds of little maids in the back house of the gentry, and the back house of the gentry can always be more women than men.

Especially those singers and dancers, how many young men's daughter-in-law dreams have been ruined.

"Second, take stock of the land.

In Wuxi and Jiangyin counties, all the land and property will be re-checked, and if each household exceeds 30 mu, the excess part will be confiscated, and the original cultivators, regardless of whether they are slaves or tenants, will be changed to militia, and everything will be disposed of in accordance with the current system of Zhaoyi City. In addition, for the confiscation of the excess between 30 and 100 mu, manure coupons will be issued at the market price as compensation, and the manure coupons can be used to purchase guano yuan. If the part of more than 100 acres is confiscated, a wasteland opening certificate will be given as compensation, and the wasteland can be selected by itself, regardless of Sichuan, Guangxi, or Taiwan. ”

Yang Xin then shouted.

This time it was followed by crazy cheers.

As for the swearing, which thumped their chests, this one was completely drowned out.

The standard line of thirty acres will do.

At this time, a household of more than ten acres of land in Jiangnan is considered a normal family, and thirty acres is at most a rich peasant, so there is no need to toss these people, and between thirty and one hundred acres, exchange guano, although his current guano is just enough for his own use, but he did not say that he will exchange it now, and of course he can't change it.

It's not too late.

He was already ready to dig in the Dongsha Islands.

As for the reclamation certificate......

It's just a symbolic compensation, and I'm willing to go better and don't want to pull it down.

In fact, the exiled gentry in Zhenjiang, Wujin and other places have already gone to Sichuan to open up wasteland, and those big landlords are indeed willing to die, but those small landlords can't afford it, and they can at least eat when they go to Sichuan to open up wasteland, and they have no other livelihood if they stay in Zhenjiang. Although it is impossible to have fertile land in the Chengdu Plain, the harvest in the hilly areas of eastern Sichuan is still good, and there are other things that are not good for planting rice.

These small landowners were not the kind of people who did not know anything about agriculture, but in fact they were just as proficient in farming.

In this way, they can be forced to divide their families, such as those who have several sons, part of the planting is left to them for thirty acres, and part of it can be used to open up wasteland.

This also lightens the resistance.

The yeoman peasants will not resist, the rich peasants will not resist, and the small landlords will endure it if they pinch their noses.

The really unlucky ones are those big landlords, especially those wealthy families who control tens of thousands of acres of land, but no one follows them if they want to resist, in the final analysis, Yang Xin's energy is limited now, mainly because of the limited cadre team, and he can't play the real land reform. This can only be done quickly, and then this land that was once familiar with Suhu Lake can be re-established as the granary of the country, and the food supply will be maximized to cope with the impending natural disaster.

"Governor, what about our machine owners?"

A man below shouted.

This is also a problem that needs to be seriously faced, because Wuxi is not exactly an agricultural city, and there are still a large number of machine households, including a large number of other non-agricultural population.

"Third, for the non-agricultural population of the two counties, everything remains the same, but the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are abolished, only the Ding silver and the conscription are retained, and the others are all abolished.

You can rest assured, if you have a bite to eat, you will not be hungry, Zhaoyi City also had a lot of machine owners, boatmen, and craftsmen from all walks of life in the past, which of them is not doing well now? The official himself opened a bunch of factories in Zhaoyi City, which factories are not all open to accept people? Not to mention anything else, until now, I have been recruiting people in those canneries in Zhaoyi City, and as far as I know, some people in Wuxi who have no livelihood have also gone there.

So do you still need to worry? ”

Yang Xin said.

Of course, he didn't say how much the Yang family had filled it in over the years.

In fact, this problem existed in the first place.

Zhaoyi City is not really a land reform, but simply turned the original tenants into homesteaders, but the local non-agricultural population has not been allocated land, but thanks to the internal industry and commerce driven by the Yang family, the vast majority of the non-agricultural population has not been affected much. The machine owners were indeed affected, but originally Zhenjiang and Wujin were not textile bases, the number of machine owners was relatively small, and Yang Xin brought a lot of new industry and commerce, especially his uncontrolled canned food processing, which absorbed a large number of workers, and the machine owners who were unemployed because the local cotton was no longer grown, were all absorbed into the canning processing and supporting industries.

But the canned food processing is still the Yang family's loss of money instead of making money.

Also make money.

But the profit is still not as much as the loss.

Simple clay pots make money, but the money earned is not enough to fill the cans with iron cans.

Fortunately, Yang Dudu has many ways to make money, and there is also corruption and bribery to collect money support, so the Yang family can still afford to raise this gold-swallowing beast, but it won't take long, in fact, when he was nine thousand years old this year in Beizhili for disaster relief, he had already begun to buy Yang Xin's canned food from those strategic reserves, and even the food supply in Liaodong had begun to add these canned food.

Soon those strategic reserves of canned food will recoup their costs and make a lot of money, and Yang Xin will have to expand the canning industry for decades to come.

Daming will have to rely on this thing for decades to come.

But this has nothing to do with these ordinary people.

They just need to know that Yang Dudu will not ignore them, and the non-agricultural population in Zhaoyi City is indeed living very well, because the local food is cheap, and their income can also ensure food and clothing, and even slightly better than those farmers.

"Now that I've explained everything, what are you going to do?"

Yang Xin shouted.

"Open the gates and welcome the Governor!"

One man shouted.

"Open the gates and welcome the Governor!"

"Open the gates!"

……

Then countless shouts rang out.

"You ......"

Shen Tingyang raised his gun angrily and shouted.

He Gang next to him grabbed him, he looked at He Gang, and finally sighed helplessly, and then put down the gun with grief and indignation, now any struggle is in vain, they can't hold this doomed city in this situation after all, although these people are not doing it now, but when the Dangkou army officially begins to attack the city, they will flock out.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Shen Tingyang gritted his teeth and said.

This is their only choice, and Wuxi can no longer hold it.

If he stubbornly defended here, not only would there be no hope, but Yang Xin would put all the armies in a pot, and then he would go south unimpeded, and even if Xu Du sent troops to reinforce at that time, they would not be able to wait.

The only option is to retreat, and then hold on to Wangting, Hushu Pass and wait for reinforcements, which is the second line of defense in their design, Wangting has a fortress in front, and there is a fortress group in Hushu Pass behind, continue to block in that area until Xu Du's army arrives, and I also hope that there will be good news in the capital. In short, it can't be served in this Wuxi city in one pot, in that case, Suzhou will be finished, and as soon as Suzhou is finished, then Yang Xin will divide his troops to solve Songjiang, and then Susong and Songfu will all fall into his hands.

He Gang nodded.

"Retreat? What will we do if you retreat? ”

Hua Yunyi was dumbfounded, he looked at the two of them in amazement.

"Brother Long Chao, we will come back."

He Gang patted him on the shoulder and said.

"You're back? What do you bring back? Do you not know what will happen to the tenants when they divide the land? Are you coming back? You can't even open Huxi Fort, and you can't beat them in the field, so how can you come back? We have followed you for three years, and we have spent countless amounts of money, and now that the matter is coming, you will throw us to them. ”

Hua Yunyi shouted like an eruption.

Those local gentry in Wuxi were all dumbfounded, one by one they were already crying and beating their chests, as soon as they heard that Shen Tingyang and they were going to retreat, they immediately rushed over like crazy, Shen Tingyang and the two lowered their heads and waved their hands to their subordinates, those soldiers immediately raised their guns and pushed away those gentry, the latter cursed like a collapse, spit on them, and took off their shoes to smash them, Shen Tingyang and the two knew that they were at a loss, and quickly squeezed into the subordinates with their heads down.

And Hua Yunyi stood there crying with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly he looked up.

Overhead, Yang Dudu was looking at him with a smile......

"He, Hejian Hou, Hua was coerced by them."

He said with difficulty squeezing out a smile.

"This, this official needs to investigate carefully."

Yang Xin said.

"Fifty thousand, fifty thousand taels of military silver, fifty thousand stone rice!"

Hua Yunyi raised a hand without hesitation and said.

"Deal!"

Kawama Hou said very dryly.
