Chapter 56: Unfolding in an orderly manner

After that, the work of the entire Yingchuan was carried out in an orderly manner.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is the work of Tuntian, which is the top priority, because no matter in any era, the problem of food and clothing of the common people will always be the biggest problem, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they will not take risks, who can solve their food and clothing problems, they will support whom, so this is a top priority for them.

Some of the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans are from Woniu Mountain, and some are from Erlong Mountain, Funiu Mountain and other places, although they come from different backgrounds, they all have a common need, that is, they need to be able to live quickly and grow food in the spring of the next year, so that their future can be hopeful.

The subsequent development of events surprised everyone, because no matter which county they were in, the local officials were able to find a way to facilitate their settlement, and in just half a month, more than 100,000 people all moved into their new homes and lived a stable life.

At the same time, the new Diannong Governor Pei Qian began to inspect everywhere, in addition to serving as the Diannong Governor, he also served as the Yingchuan Postal Supervisor, on the one hand, to supervise the county magistrates to conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by Pei Qing, to inspect the corrupt and perverted the law, and more importantly, to distribute land to the people for farming.

Of course, the current land is only used by the tuntian households, but these tuntian households have heard good news from Pei Qian, as long as they can cultivate the land allocated to them for five consecutive years, half of the land can belong to them, and the other half can continue to cultivate, until they die, and then hand over this half of the land that is not owned by them to the government.

This is definitely an exciting good news, because the reason why they were willing to risk their lives to rebel in the first place was to get land, and now Pei Qing was able to distribute a part of the land to them so generously, although it took five years, but it also made their lives full of hope again.

"But fellow villagers, you also know, if today's heroes rise together, my Yingchuan is in the land of four wars, and may be invaded by foreign enemies at any time, although you have the heart to protect Yingchuan, but after all, the troops are relatively small, and you have been displaced for half of your life before, and you have been on the battlefield for a long time, so once there is an invasion of foreign enemies, I also hope that you fellow villagers and elders can go into battle with the officers and soldiers to kill the enemy and defend our homeland, Pei Zhijun also solemnly said that he will never hesitate to reward when fighting, after you have made meritorious contributions in battle, We will definitely have the same treatment for the officers and men, and we will definitely not deduct your rewards. ”

When Pei Qian said this, to be honest, his heart was full of admiration, because he had never heard of such a tuntian, because the previous tuntian households were all military tuntians, that is, the soldiers of the army also cultivated when they were guarding the border station, the purpose was to realize the self-sufficiency of the soldiers stationed in food and reduce the country's military food expenditure.

However, now this Pei Qing actually used Tuntian on the people, and also made a promise to let the people have the ownership of a part of the land in five years, such a mind and wisdom are really admirable, not only can they get a lot of taxes, but also can get the heartfelt support of the people, and more importantly, after this, the people will definitely do their best to help Pei Qing guard Yingchuan, because there are their homes and land, which is what they care about the most in their lives!

The people also supported Pei Qing's policy from the bottom of their hearts, and they were infinitely surprised in their hearts, because they couldn't even think of such a good thing before.

So after Pei Qian announced Pei Qing's policy, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

For Pei Qing's policy, the local powerful gentry are actually a little uncomfortable, because in this way, it is difficult for them to annex the land of the peasants at will, but fortunately, now there are fewer people and more land, and they can't even take care of their own cultivated land, let alone those ownerless wastelands? Besides, Pei Qing has already promised to let them share the profits of the salt mine, if they are entangled in these again, I am afraid that Pei Qing will definitely not agree.

Therefore, those powerful gentry could only turn a blind eye and let Pei Qing issue the Tuntian Decree without daring to object.

In a blink of an eye, it has come to February of the third year of the first peace, at this time it is the time of farming, the entire Yingchuan counties are a busy scene, Pei Qian urged farming, and saw this scene in his heart with joy, he had come to Yingchuan twice, and the Yingchuan he saw at that time was a piece of ruin, and the bones pillowed in the road, just like Pei Qing's poem said: "The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles." "But now there is a busy farming scene, and there is only a little more than a month between the front and back, and the whole Yingchuan looks like two eras.

In fact, Tuntian not only needs manpower, but also needs ploughing cattle and farm tools, but this is not a problem for Yingchuan at all, because these yellow turban people are not lacking in agricultural tools, and many people use agricultural tools when fighting, and ploughing cattle are also brought by these people in the cottage, and every family treats them as treasures, even if they are going to fasting in Woniu Mountain before, no one has ever thought of slaughtering ploughing cattle.

As for the seeds, they don't have to worry about this at all, because most of them are provided by Pei Qing, and at that time, it was agreed to the Yellow Turban Ministry that all the seeds provided by the government only need to be returned at the time of harvest, of course, the repayment needs to add interest, but the interest is very low, only one percent, this is just a symbolic increase, much lower than usury.

It is precisely because of this that this time the tuntian can be carried out in an orderly manner, and there is no delay in the farming time of any family.

After more than a month of exploration, the specific location of the salt field in Wuyang County has been determined, after calculation, there is an extremely huge number of salt mines, and the new county commander Zhao Yan and others who learned the news were immediately shocked, and immediately ordered to block the news, and reported to Pei Qing as soon as possible.

Because salt had an extremely important position in that era, so much salt meant a shocking wealth that rivaled the country, if other warlords knew, they would definitely be red-eyed, and they would seize it at all costs, and at that time it is estimated that Yingchuan would immediately rekindle the war, and the people would fall into dire straits again.

In this process, Zhao Yan's extraordinary wisdom and internal affairs ability, the quality of honesty has been fully reflected, he has always firmly grasped the initiative of the salt field, and refused all the bribes and "donations" of the gentry and wealthy businessmen, strictly sealed the news, and even even the construction of the salt field, it was also sent by Pei Qing to undertake thousands of troops, these troops are Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang and others in Woniu Mountain, strict discipline, strong confidentiality, before and after more than two months of busy before finally built.

In fact, this salt mine didn't take so long, but in order to cover the scope of the salt mine, they really spent a lot of effort, which led to the construction of a salt mine took two months, of course, in which it was also concealed from the outside world, Zhao Yan concealed the progress of the work for reasons such as the deep salt mine and bad weather, and even caused those wealthy gentry to jointly write to Pei Qing and took the initiative to send slaves to help......

Fortunately, everything is over, and then the salt farm can officially start business, thinking of the days when he will lie down and count the money soon, Pei Qing smiled happily, the money will be there immediately, and the crops will mature in two or three months, his power finally has a certain foundation, which means that he will have the capital to gain a foothold in this world immediately, how can he not feel happy in his heart?
