"Our army was originally mostly small people in troubled times, forced to make a living, had to take risks, and did the business of killing officials and rebelling. I have heard that once these artisans are naturalized, unless it is approved by Emperor Yuan or the imperial court, it will be difficult for generations to get out of the naturalization, and as borrowers, they are not allowed to take the examination to be among the scholars; Officials at all levels of bureaus and institutes often set up clever names to encroach on artisan households for their own food and clothing, and they are extremely exploited. These artisans often had no income other than salt and grain from the government and the occasional reward of clothing, and the craftsmen were repeatedly forced to slack off and flee. If you talk about the harshness of existence, there is almost no comparison in the world! Yu Zhilong sighed.

"I see that people in the world, whether they are laborious or hardworking, are based on settling down in the world, and at least they must live in the world with their families, and secondly, they will either have no worries about food and clothing, or they will be rich and powerful. The appeal is not allowed, and people's hearts naturally change. If it is not possible, it will either be sabotaged or escaped, and in this case, in the future, all kinds of artisan households will be abolished in the places where our army is based, and they will be left to decide what kind of industry they choose for their livelihood. Each person shall have a income from his servitude, and there shall be no department to manage it. The matter of the military household is the old system of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and now looking at it, there is little effect, but the men in the family are confined to one place, and they can neither concentrate on the production of the fields, nor systematic and rigorous military training. In the event of a war, they often have to prepare their own weapons, horses, armor and other things, and these personnel are also cannon fodder on the battlefield, wasting money and salaries in vain. I'll scrap it today. ”

"Well, what is cannon fodder? Listening to the meaning of adults, it seems that they are useless people on the battlefield, and they are called cannon fodder. Xie Lin and the others heard the name of cannon fodder for the first time, and his mind was lively, and he guessed eight or nine or ten. As for Wu Side, Huang Er, Sun Xing and others who were completely puzzled, Qian Zheng and Mingxiong waited for a while to figure it out.

"In addition, all those slave households will be freed from their debts and converted into private households, and they will also be allowed to have the right to freely choose their livelihood, and they will be allowed to study and enter the official career, and their earnings from their labor, except for the taxable and substituted labor, shall belong to them and be at their disposal, and the proportion of taxes shall not exceed 30% of the total amount, and the exact amount shall be carefully considered, on the premise that it will not increase the hardship of the people's lives. In the future, no slaves will be allowed to exist in the areas where our army is strong. If our army wants to serve as an envoy, it shall pay the corresponding remuneration to the servants. This matter has a lot to stake, Mr. can consider it with Fang Xue again after the meeting, polish the text, and after I report it to the approval of the leader of Liu, I will issue a notice tomorrow to inform the whole city. ”

"Abolishing slavery and artisanship and returning them to freedom is a great good policy! The small one is bold to say, the people of his generation are in a difficult situation, and they have almost no resources to establish themselves in the world, and the adults are benevolent, and they are the people of the world, do they still want to give them property or acres, so that they can support themselves and save their families? Xie Lin saw that Yu Zhilong was happy to say, and interjected to remind.

"Oops, it was my negligence! What the county Yin said is extremely true! If they have no money to save their money, wouldn't it be a disservice to them if they were simply expelled from the country! The county Yin can count the households according to the facts, as for the property required, the part can be allocated from the property distributed by the county treasury, and the specific amount can be discussed with Zhao Shi, Fang Xue, and Gao Shang, and come up with a statement; Well, it's better to give it a fish than to give it a fish, presumably there are a lot of acres of land here for the Mengyuan magnates here, and I don't know how many acres of fields are hidden, and I don't know how many other local bullies should be punished? The county Yin is familiar with the customs here, and when I find out the worries, we will discuss it after these matters are sorted out! This matter should not be delayed, and it is better to prepare the copy as soon as possible, and for a one-day period? Yu Zhilong was very happy, what Xie Lin mentioned was what he had not considered thoroughly, and it seemed that he had done the right thing to retain him in the first place.

However, this matter should not be delayed, so I asked Schelling if he could complete it tomorrow.

"Sent by adults, villains dare to disobey!"

"Very good, very good!" Yu Zhilong laughed. Xie Lin listened to Yu Zhilong's words, and was surprised and happy in his heart, what this person said was all related to people's livelihood.

At that time, all kinds of artisan households suffered greatly, and the officials at all levels were increasingly exploited, and it was difficult to support their families with the income from their hard work all day long. The people's grievances have accumulated for a long time, and when they are hungry for a long time, once they catch up with the catastrophe and the imperial court is not able to provide relief, it will surely erupt like a volcano. The status quo of the people at the bottom is not unaware, but in their eyes, these are just cattle and sheep-like Han people, they should be born like this, the ass determines consciousness, and it has been the same since ancient times!

Xie Lin has been the county governor for a long time, and he is still a grassroots official who knows the people's livelihood, so he naturally feels deeply about this, which is also one of the reasons why he is determined to follow Yu Zhilong.

"My subordinates still have questions, so I beg you to clear your doubts."

"Oh, you can tell me."

"If you want to make a big move, you must have to respond to everyone from all over the world, but simply rely on these artisans, military households, peasant households, etc., but there is a source of soldiers, but the help of wealth and property does not know where to come from?"

Hearing that Xie Lin proposed that the military fund be issued, Zhao Shi and others were interested. The brains of the people in the seat have already realized that it is impossible to build the army and fight in the future by eating big households, and only Wu Side and Huang Er are still ignorant.

"I haven't thought about this matter in detail, but it should be the right thing to do by redistributing the acres of land, encouraging farming, building water conservancy, and running schools and educating the people. I don't know how Xie County Yin taught me? Yu Zhilong said frankly.

"Han Gaozu has Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Li Shiqi, Tang Taizong has the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, these are all famous ministers, only the British lord can use them. Although their generations are from different backgrounds, they are all handsome men who know the past and the present, know current affairs, and know articles. It is by no means comparable to the vulgar. In addition, the gentry from all over the country have countless assets, and the clansmen are not all stubborn people, there are many wise and handsome people, if they can get their full support, why worry about the great cause? The subordinates thought that the road ahead was difficult, and there were many things, and they still needed the help of these talented people and virtuous gentry to get things done. ”

Xie Lin said it cleverly, he realized that those who achieve great things cannot be relied on by the lowest farmers with enthusiasm alone, and they still need the strong participation of scholars and large households to have hope. However, almost all of the people present here are people from the village, and it is difficult to say that they want to reach a consensus, but Yu Zhilong can say his ambition to expel the Tartars, and set a more feasible strategy such as dividing the fields, dividing the goods, canceling the craftsman's registration, and removing Li Zheng and Fang officials, which shows that he is sensible, and his vision and the generals under the seat can not be tricked.

Since ancient times, it has been called Shinong Industry and Commerce, and it is not unreasonable that all dynasties and dynasties have taken Shi as the first. One of them is that because they have been educated, they know ancient and modern things, and they have a certain ability to analyze and do things. Among them, talented people can play a considerable guiding role in the general trend of the world.

Of course, as a member of the scholars, Xie Lin also hopes to form a circle of scholars and talents around Yu Zhilong, which can not only greatly enhance the power of planning and acting, but also help strengthen his right to speak around Yu Zhilong. As for the gentry in various places, because of their extensive wealth and connections, they are undoubtedly a golden rooster that can lay eggs. Kill the chicken to take the eggs, but the wise do not take it.

There are people who get soldiers, talented people who get civil and military ministers, and gentry who get money and food, and only with a three-pronged approach can things be done!

Although the people under the seat do not know how to write and ink, but the story of Han Gaozu and Tang Taizong is still familiar, everyone knows that their advisers are like rain, and the cadres are like forests, and their allusions have been heard many times in the storytellers who walk the streets and alleys. The generals were also deeply intoxicated by the romance story of his Jin Ge Iron Horse back then, and now listening to Xie Lin say it slowly, although he didn't understand it very well, he still felt that what he said made sense.

It's just that I always feel a little uncomfortable when I hear him mention the gathering of talents from all over the world.

Yu Zhilong clapped his hands and said happily: "Xie Xianyin said well, it's me who is not thoughtful, and the matter is big, so I have to think about it carefully!" How about posting a job list? He asked Xie Lindao.

"If the adults are thirsty for talents, the talents of the Quartet must have the heart of Jingcong, but the strength of the adults and the leaders of the families is still small, and the victory or defeat of Meng Yuan in the eyes of outsiders is unpredictable, and it is really difficult to make this determination suddenly, if you can win a big victory, and then spread the Quartet, the Lord will drive out the Tartars and restore the ambition of the Han family, the natural effect will be better!"

Xie Lin is saving face for Yu Zhilong, at this time, Liu Zhengfeng and others have only two or three thousand military horses, which are just a rabble in the eyes of the Yuan Court. Only Liu Zhengfeng. After Yu Zhilong and others showed the world that they had the strength to compete with the Yuan court, they could make these people settle down and defect.

Of course, the first people to come were naturally the first to advocate righteousness, and their future status must not be the same as that of later generations. Where there is risk, there is reward, and the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Instead of posting a recruitment list now, it is better to recruit people and horses in a down-to-earth manner, train soldiers, and prepare for the future Yidu conquest.

And how to quickly recruit people lies in Zhilong's heart, at the beginning, he was thinking about fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, so as to open up the situation. However, Xie Lin's words immediately reminded him that this was an agricultural era of complete private ownership of land, and people's ideological consciousness was limited to the sacredness of imperial power, the word of the king is the law, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers.

He could not have made a radical agrarian revolution and brought about an earth-shaking transformation of the social formation, like the leaders of later generations who finally ascended the towers and proclaimed loudly to the whole world, and at most it could only be a change of dynasties, and the road now seems to be a long one. Therefore, the apprentice is a huge force that he has to borrow.

As the saying goes, Xiucai rebels, and it will not be achieved in three years, but without Xiucai, it will only cause great social turmoil and destruction, and it is impossible to do it in peace. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the yellow scarf and red eyebrows are precedent!

Yu Zhilong has ambitions, and naturally often thinks about the way out, no matter what path he chooses, he must gather people's hearts and attract all kinds of people, so that it is possible.

But when there are more people, a collective consciousness is formed, and by extension, it is called a social consensus. The traditional understanding and inertia of society are enormous, and it is impossible for him to fight against the traditional understanding of society alone, but at most he can take advantage of the situation and speed up the pace of progress.

Zhao Shi, Wu Side, Qian Zheng and others are all small farmers, hawkers or bankrupt rich households, and they only have hatred and destruction for the Yuan Court, but they have no clear idea of how to build their own territory, and in addition to the war in the future, there will also be civil management, which is not their own strength, and must be a person like Xie Lin, so how to recruit must be considered.

What Schelling said only hit his heart, because it resonated, he simply took the opportunity to praise him in public, not only to appease Schelling's new entry into the heart of his small group, but also to show the generals his desire and courtesy to treat the talents of the scholars.

Yu Zhilong paced back and forth in the hall, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, frowning and thinking from time to time. Seeing him pondering, the generals didn't dare to disturb, but they just looked at each other, not understanding why Yu Zhilong reacted so much.

Zhao Shi has known him since he was a child, and knows that although he doesn't speak much, he has been thinking since he was a child, especially after he moved to war with the army, and he often thinks alone.
