Chapter 205: Fifth-Class Peasant Lordship! 4/5
"No!" The winged duck and the ancient vultures had straight faces, and they responded.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for capturing a city, killing 90,000 enemies, capturing 110,000, and rewarding Wei with a grain yield bonus of 600 this year!"
In the Tianjing City Palace, thousands of miles away, a system prompt sounded in Wei Li's mind in the Xinjiang Palace.
Wei Li, who was resting on the king's chair, listened to the voice of the system in his head, his eyes slowly opened, although his face did not change, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, plus the reward for seizing the girder and chasing down the reinforcements of Prince Ji, Wei State has a total of 1600 grain production bonuses this year, and the terror continues to fight, and this year will usher in an unprecedented bumper harvest!
"Your Majesty, Xiangbang asks to see!"
At this time, Xiao Liuzi walked in gently from outside the hall and bent over Wei Ya to remind him softly.
"Xuan!" Wei Li was still lying on the king's chair, and said indifferently.
It didn't take long for Meng Ge to wear court clothes, walked in gently, and bent down expressionlessly to make a report: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report!" ”
"What?" Wei Li flashed a trace of doubt.
"About reclamation!" Meng Ge replied.
Hearing the word reclamation, Wei Li raised his spirit and sat on the king's chair, "What's the matter with reclamation?" Could it be that someone is blocking it? ”
When Meng Ge heard this, he bent down again to make a report: "No one stopped it, it's like this, since 50,000 captives participated in the construction of the city wall, the increase in the fertile land of Wei has very little, far less than the speed of reclamation of fertile land the year before last, during the autumn harvest of the previous year, the total of Wei State was 1.5 million mu, and now it is still 1.5 million mu, and there is no growth!" ”
"Why don't you order the county guard and the county guard to gather the people to reclaim? You know, if all the fertile land is cultivated, but it is owned by the reclaimer, is it because the people don't love the land? Wei Li raised his eyebrows, feeling unscientific.
The fertile land of Wei State has increased one after another, and every year it can increase by more than 100,000 mu of new land in addition to seizing fertile land.
"It's true that I don't love the fields, now the Wei country is peaceful and peaceful, the people are rich, and the families have surplus grain, except for some people who have just become the people of the Wei State, who are willing to reclaim, those former Wei people have no enthusiasm for the land!" Meng Ge smiled bitterly.
Wei Ya immediately frowned, this is worth it, one and a half million mu of land in Wei seems to be a lot, but in fact it is just the tip of the iceberg, you must know that Wei has 210,000 li (square kilometers), excluding mountains, forests, lakes and mountains, at least tens of millions of mu of land can be reclaimed, and what can 1.5 million mu be used for.
If it weren't for Wei Ya's system, how much stone grain could 1.5 million mu produce? It is about 10 million stones, 10 million stones, the population of Wei is 2.2 million, and it consumes six or seven million stone of grain every year.
Therefore, 1.5 million stones are not enough for Wei at all, and more new fields must be reclaimed to ensure that Wei has sufficient food.
"Why don't the people love the land anymore?" Wei Li asked blankly.
"Now that Wei is rich in food, the people are not short of food, nor are they short of clothes, they lack anything, and the people are easy to be satisfied, so they naturally don't want to continue reclamation!" Meng Ge smiled bitterly again.
Although the bumper harvest is good, it also makes the people lose their passion for struggle, thinking that they have enough to eat, clothes to wear, and one or two acres of land anyway, so there is no need to continue to cultivate.
"I see!" Wei Li pinched his eyebrows, a little speechless.
In this way, the edict of King Lone, where the people of the Great Wei Dynasty opened ten acres of fertile land, won the low-level title "farmer", did not belong to the twentieth class of military merit, but also belonged to the aristocratic class, enjoyed ten taels of silver every year, until death, opened twenty acres, won the medium title of "farming", enjoyed thirty taels of silver per year, opened fifty acres, won the high title of "farmer", enjoyed fifty taels of silver per year, and the high title of "farmer" can be hereditary generation! Wei Ya said with a solemn expression, and his words were smooth, as if he had already prepared.
When Meng Ge heard this, he was shocked, and at the same time excited, he admired Wei Ya more and more, and the difficulty that he had not solved for a long time was directly cracked here in the king.
You can be promoted to a knight in a war, and you can also be promoted to a knight in reclamation, and now the people are going crazy!
"Your Majesty, this is what you have thought of a long time ago?" Meng Ge couldn't help but hesitate.
"What I just thought of, Lone just thought that because of his military exploits, he can be promoted, soldiers are not afraid of life and death, and they can kill the enemy bravely, and reclamation can also be promoted, will the people be like soldiers, desperate for reclamation?" Wei Ya asked rhetorically.
This is indeed what I just thought of, and I also added a hereditary and hereditary title after the high title, no one in the entire Wei State is a hereditary title, was there before, don't look at some ministers who claim to be nobles, in fact, they just inherited the noble name of their ancestors, and they call themselves nobles, but this nobleman, the monarch, and the people also admit that who has made the ancestors of the nobles.
But hereditary nobility is different, this is the same as the royal family, there is an inheritance system, the gold content is a heaven and a earth, more noble than ordinary nobles, and there is a special title, it can be said that a hereditary noble name is enough to make the people crazy, not only to make the people crazy, but even the ministers will be tempted.
Now the nobles of Wei are not hereditary, they are gone when they die, and their children are still ordinary people, and they cannot receive a high amount of aristocratic money, there is only one noble name, but the hereditary is different, the first generation is dead, and a certain successor of the next generation does not have to do anything, it is an authentic nobleman, and he receives a high salary until he dies.
"Your Majesty, the people will go crazy!" Meng Ge said excitedly.
"Well, wait a minute, I'm inspired!" Wei Li suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly picked up a brush and an empty bamboo slip, which was written on it, while Meng Ge looked at it curiously below.
After a while, Wei Li finished writing it, and then handed it to Si Zhong, who passed it on to Meng Singer.
When Meng Ge saw it, his smile never went away.
The contents of this bamboo slip are:
Fifth-class farmer system:
"Let's go to the edict first, I hope that the fertile land of Wei State can reach three million mu this year!" Wei Ya said lightly.
"No!" Meng Ge responded with a smile on his face, and then quickly left to convey the royal edict.
Half a day later, Tianjing City dispatched hundreds of officers and soldiers, beating gongs and drums on the streets, and shouting to the pedestrians on the road: "The king has an order to implement the fifth-class peasant lord system, where the people of the Great Wei Dynasty can open ten acres of fertile land, and obtain the low-class title "Farmer" enjoy ten taels of silver every year until death, open twenty acres, get the medium title of "Farming", enjoy thirty taels of silver per year, open fifty acres, and get the high title of "Nongxiao", enjoy fifty taels of silver per year, and the high-ranking title "Nongxiao" can be hereditary generation! ”
