Chapter 28: A long-term plan

(Chapter 3 arrives, ask for a few red tickets!) )

Because of the scourge of bandits for many years, and the year before last, Shanxi also suffered a great drought that had not been encountered in a century, and the people's livelihood has long been withered, and the people who lived in this area can basically be said to have been three out of ten, either killed or starved to death, or in order to survive, they went away to find another way to make a living, plus Zhao Datong and Xiao butchers robbed big households in the local area, killed a lot of landlords, and forced some landlords to pack up and flee into Yangcheng County or other places, As a result, a large number of land has been abandoned in many parts of the local area.

However, there is also an advantage to this, that is, although there is not much arable land in the local area, most of it has been abandoned and has become a terra nullius, after rough statistics, even if the vast majority of the land here is mountainous, there are tens of thousands of acres of arable land, and the number of ordinary people in the area under their control is less than 20,000, these lands are more than enough to feed these people, if they make full use of it, plus the hunters hunt in the mountains, just the area they currently control, It is also possible to feed fifty or sixty thousand people.

After figuring out these situations, Xiao Tianjian also had the bottom in his heart, and immediately summoned his subordinates together to discuss.

Xiao Tianjian sat in the main hall of the temple in the lotus village, which was originally enshrined as a Buddha statue, but as early as after Xiao Tuhu seized this temple, he smashed the Buddha statue here, cleaned it up, and made it a Juyi Hall, but now it is just cheaper Xingtianjun and has become Xiao Tianjian's temporary headquarters, which is much more majestic and spacious than the Juyi Hall when they were in Tianlongzhai before.

Under Xiao Tianjian's hand, the generals of the Xingtian Army, as well as Fu Deming, Luo Yingjie and others all sat on both sides, listening to Xiao Tianjian's orders.

"You're all here today, for the time being, we've initially established ourselves here, so the big guys must be relieved! But I want to remind you today, don't be happy too early, this is just the beginning for us, there will be more things to do in the future, I am afraid that I will be very busy during this time, don't think about resting first!

As for that Feng Baimian, since he didn't come to provoke us at the moment, let's not deal with him first, and go back to contact him, it's best to let him get acquainted, either accept our integration, or let him change places and leave the locality, the important thing for us at the moment is to stabilize the local people's hearts first.

I have a lot of things to arrange today, Luo Yingjie will record it, and then transfer it to Mr. Fu to sort out the post, and I will act accordingly in the future!

The first thing to talk about is the issue of military discipline, and in the future, we will use this place as a base to gradually expand our strength, so in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, military discipline is particularly important, and we must not be careless!

The previously released frozen death does not demolish the house, starvation does not take place after the abduction, and a few more articles are added, but where the materials needed are temporarily requisitioned, an IOU must be made first, and after use, it is ensured that it is returned to the people without damage, and the rent is paid, if the materials need to be requisitioned for a long time, the silver money will be paid at the market price, fair trading, and no forced buying and selling is allowed, and the violator will be held responsible!

It is forbidden to rape or commit adultery with women, let alone to bully men and women, but from now on, soldiers can be allowed to marry.

The first task at the moment is to find out the amount of arable land in the surrounding areas, register the villagers within our control, and then distribute the fields in the area under our control to the surrounding villagers!

In principle, according to the thickness of the field and the difficulty of irrigation, each adult, regardless of gender, can be divided into five to ten acres of land for his cultivation, and those who originally had private land are not among them, and the number of private fields that are insufficient can be made up separately, but to make it clear to them, these lands are still owned by our Xingtian Army in principle, and they have the right to cultivate, and they can be exempted from all taxes for the first year, but from the next year, they will give us 20% of the harvest! After the third year, it increases to 30%! Since then, it has been limited to three, and no longer raises the field endowment!

But in the future, every family, male or female, as long as they reach four feet tall, can get a new land ration, but if they do not cultivate carefully and the land is abandoned, or if it is time to pay the land and refuse to pay it, we have the right to take back their land and redistribute it to honest farmers!

In addition, in each surrounding village, I plan to implement the armor protection system, to put it simply, that is, to take the household as a unit, ten households as a unit, ten households as a guarantee, ten guarantees as a township, set up a chief, a chief, a township chief to manage! The first chief is elected by his ten households, and we register and make a register for future reference, while the chief of the security guard is filled by the disabled soldiers of our army, and the original household registration remains unchanged for the time being, and the original farmers, hunters, and artisans are kept separately.

On the part of the hunters, for the time being, they will not be allocated land, but they can be allowed to go into the mountains to hunt freely, and the goods they get will be limited to two percent, and the rest will be disposed of by themselves, whether it is sold to us or kept by themselves, fair trading, and no debt to them!

In terms of artisan households, I am going to set up our craftsman camp, the craftsman households are all in the craftsman camp to do things, the craftsman camp is responsible for their diet and daily life, and each person will be given three buckets of grain every month, half a catty of salt, those who do not want these things, one or two halves of silver, those who are diligent and meritorious, plus silver, and the men over the age of fifteen can enter the camp to learn art, and bear the food and lodging, and each person will be given two buckets of grain per month, half a catty of salt!

In addition, many villages in the surrounding areas that we can control now have been abandoned, some villages are sparsely populated, and some villages are densely populated, so I plan to take advantage of the opportunity of this field division to merge the villages that should be merged and those that should be scattered, and determine the size of the village by the amount of land, so that the original local people can gather together to protect their armor and manage them, and try to concentrate on cultivating the land as much as possible, vacate more land, and prepare to absorb more people from outside to cultivate here!

As for those Zhao Datong's subordinates and Xiao Tiancheng's subordinates, tie them up outside first and publicize them, so that the surrounding people can screen them, and all those who belong to Zhao Datong and Xiao Changshan's subordinates are evil and evil, and they will never be soft and killed! For those who were coerced into joining the gang and the responsibility was less serious, they were sent to coal mines and iron mines to mine for one to two years, so as to forgive their sins, and after the deed, they could return their freedom, and those who were willing to stay and continue to be miners could work for a fee, and those who did not want to be miners could be given land to farm, and for those who had no great evil at all, and had families, let their families take them back and divide the fields for them to cultivate!

As for the miners in the original mines, they are still retained, and they are charged into the craftsman's camp for management, and the treatment is the same as that of craftsmen, and they are in charge of food and lodging, and for the time being, they are guaranteed to be given two buckets of grain per month, or one tael of silver, so as to ensure that their families can also make a living, and if they do a good job, they can also be rewarded every month!

That's all I can think of for the time being, let's see if there's anything else you haven't thought of! You can bring it up and discuss it together! ”

Everyone was stunned to hear Xiao Tianjian throw out such a package of plans at once, although it was rough and could only be regarded as an outline, but the thinking was very clear, and many people felt that their brains seemed to be a little insufficient after listening to it, they didn't expect Xiao Tianjian to come up with so many things in such a short period of time, which basically covered all the civil affairs in the area under their control, and roughly included everyone in the scope of their Xingtian Army's management.

Even Fu Deming, who prides himself on being talented, is secretly surprised in his heart, he is also thinking about these things, he has not yet figured out how to implement many things, but Xiao Tianjian has already thought of it in advance, and the armor protection system in this is very practical, basically ensuring that the people in their jurisdiction are within the control of the Xingtian Army, as long as it is implemented according to Xiao Tianjian's plan, it will be difficult for people outside the area they control here to get in, and the distribution of land he raised, now the landless people are everywhere, Many ordinary people have exhausted the struggle of several generations, saving some money, just to be able to buy some land, but Xingtianjun doesn't want anything at the moment, so they give them the land, as long as this law comes out, presumably the local people will be crazy about it, after thinking about it, Fu Deming is even more shocked, after the people have their own land, Xiao Tianjian is equivalent to buying everyone's hearts at once, and then he is not determined to follow Xingtianjun to the black! In the future, if someone comes to suppress the Heavenly Army, these ordinary people will not fight with him desperately!

In addition, Xiao Tianjian's armor protection system, is not called anything new, Chongzhen three years ago, the imperial court issued a protection law, Chongzhen Emperor ordered the implementation of the implementation in various places, just because the local government is not good, many places have not really implemented, and Xiao Tianjian proposed the armor protection system, in fact, in the original imperial court to protect the armor law slightly modified, but can take this into account, indicating that Xiao Tianjian has a clear understanding of how to control the people in the jurisdiction.

Moreover, the Xingtian Army sent the disabled sergeant to serve as the security chief, which is equivalent to solving the problem of the disabled soldiers of the Xingtian Army, so that the soldiers have no worries, and it is easy to say that even if they are disabled one day, they don't have to worry about their livelihood, so that they not only control the civil affairs, but also reassure the army, which can be described as a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Although most of the things Xiao Tianjian said were just a general idea, and many places still needed to be improved and refined, as long as he started, Fu Deming would immediately be able to figure out how to do the next details, and the result was that after Xiao Tianjian finished speaking, Fu Deming began to form a clear and detailed abdominal case in his heart, which made Fu Deming even more impressed by Xiao Tianjian's ability.

These things are by no means things that a martial artist can come up with, it is obvious that Xiao Tianjian had already made all kinds of plans before coming here, and thought about how to act in advance, which made Fu Deming very admired, in front of Xiao Tianjian, he dared not boast of being talented.

Luo Yingjie crouched next to a bookcase, listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, while writing hard, recording Xiao Tianjian's words one by one, this shorthand ability is also quite good, although Luo Yingjie's personal ability is not strong, but it is quite competent to act as a secretary for Xiao Tianjian.

(Tomorrow Monday, brethren, don't forget to leave me a few red tickets!) Thanks a lot! )
