Chapter 72: Tuntian (First Update)

Everyone went back and slowly digested the new ideas that Lu Bu brought them, the impact was too great, and the amount of information exploded. Ding Yuan was unwilling to separate from Lu Bu as soon as he met, so he simply moved to the general's mansion in the old camp in Yunzhong to live, anyway, there are Jia Xu and frustration to worry about the big and small things in the state, who told them that one of them is the master of the state, and the other is the master of the general's mansion, and they are happy to be idle.

Lu Bu was also very busy every day, and had little leisure to accompany Ding Yuan, in addition to perfecting the specific matters of tuntian and grazing with Jia Xu and others, he also had to worry about the formation of a new honor unit and the preparation of a new military academy.

During this period, Fu Zhu introduced two famous people from Bingzhou to Lu Bu, one was Jia Kui and the other was Wen Hui, both of whom were good at governing government affairs, and they had both been county officials before.

Lu Bu was convinced of Fu Zhu's vision, and welcomed them, let them help with things under Fu Zhu first, and now under the rule of General Du Liao, there are all kinds of wastes waiting for them, and some are idle positions, waiting for them.

Ding Yuan also recommended a military general to Lu Bu, who was one of his subordinates, called Zhang Yang, who was quite martial and brave, and Lu Bu also sent him to the trap camp for training, Lu Bu's army was different from the old Han army, and he had to participate in new training before he could integrate into Lu Bu's army.

During this period, the news of Lu Bu's victory over the Xianbei people again has spread all over the world, and many people praise Lu Bu's exploits and call him the contemporary god of war.

The common people of the many counties in the city thought that Bingzhou was the safest place in the Han Frontier now, and many young people admired Lu Bu's achievements, and many poor people heard about the treatment of the trapped camp and the military merit pension system, and the more and more it was spread, the better it became.

Of course, Li Su was also quietly fueling the fire behind his back, gradually spreading the news that Lu Bu was going to promote tuntian and grazing, and many poor people who were destitute, starving, and landless began to drag their families and families to merge with them and migrate to the clouds.

On the road to Yunzhong from various counties in the state, there was a constant flow of people, and many people even fainted on the road with hunger. After Lu Bu heard about it, he and Ding Yuan jointly ordered that the counties along the way should open porridge farms and open warehouses for relief, so as not to let so many people really starve to death on the way, and Bingzhou ushered in a great migration of people.

Seeing such a situation, Lu Bu discussed with Jia Xu and others to speed up all the plans, quickly improve and implement them, and for this reason, everyone began to work all night to operate, plan, and design, and Lu Bu was no exception.

The first is to distribute the rewards of all the personnel who participated in the Battle of Liangcheng, and the rewards of the reinforcements have been distributed in advance, because they want to return to their hometowns, so they are not rewarded with slaves, cattle and sheep and land, but try to convert them into a large amount of gold, silver and grain.

The rewards for all the remaining people who remain in the cloud are mainly based on land, slaves, cattle, sheep, and horses, each with different conversion standards, and the land is also divided into farmland and pasture.

And according to the fertility of the soil, the size of the pasture, there are corresponding calculation scores, anyway, it is a very complicated set of calculations, fortunately, there are a large number of clerks in the trapped camp army, and the military exploits of all people are accurately recorded, so that this work can be done well.

About 6,000 soldiers chose to go to the tuntian, most of them were wounded who had been wounded and could not continue to serve in the army but were still able to work on their own.

Of course, the land they were rewarded for their military merits belonged to individuals, but the area was not large, so they also needed to rent wasteland or ready-made fields owned by the army, and the area that needed to be rented varied from person to person.

Half of their harvest was handed over to the military during the lease period, and the other half was distributed by themselves. While waiting for the first time the rations are ripe, the military will provide them with daily rations free of charge, and the rations they turn in will be recorded and given corresponding points.

This initial lease period is ten years, and when the lease expires, if they continue to lease the land, they only need to pay the grain required for the tax, which must be much less than fifty percent, and they can use the previous points plus gold and silver to buy the land they like if they wish.

In short, the more military rations you surrender, the higher your points, and the more and better land you can buy in the future.

The soldiers who participated in the tuntian were under semi-military management, and the villages where they lived were divided into companies, such as the 1st Agricultural Reclamation Division, 1st Regiment, 1st Battalion, and 1st Company.

The Tuntian army was based on these 6,000 people, and there were also a large number of refugees, disaster victims, and hungry people who had defected from the northern states, most of whom had been farmers for generations, so they all chose Tuntian to continue the familiar farming work.

These people often came with their families, so when they were registered, they were all mixed with 6,000 soldiers.

Most of these civilians came empty-handed, so the military distributed the necessary agricultural tools, helped them build houses, lent them large livestock, food rations, seeds, etc. Of course, all this is in the form of a lease on credit, and in the future they can repay the points they have accumulated by handing in the grain, or they can buy it themselves.

Of course, their fields are also leased by the military, and the Tuntian soldiers are treated differently from them, except for the land, everything else is free, which is also the welfare treatment given to them by Lu Bu, houses, rations, farm tools, seeds, and livestock are provided free of charge and do not need to be repaid.

This made these foreign civilians envious, and it also led to the grand occasion when Lu Bu's troops went to the Tuntian area to recruit soldiers in the future, and there were crowds of people who enthusiastically signed up.

All civilians in the tuntian are subject to semi-military management like the military, and adult men need to farm when they are busy with farming, and they need to train during their off-season, and if someone in their family joins the army, they will immediately enjoy the military's welfare policies.

In the end, the first batch of 70,000 civilians (nearly 400,000 people) participated in the tuntian, most of whom moved from outside the state. With so many people, it's definitely a great migration.

70,000 civilians and 6,000 military households were organized into eight agricultural divisions, and they needed to open up a large amount of wasteland and barren fertile land, and nearly half of the cattle and horses captured by the Xianbei people in this victory were exchanged for military rewards or leased to them, of course, these cattle and horses used to cultivate the fields still need time to be trained.

Their tuntian is located in the famous Hetao area in later generations, which was called "Henan Land" at that time, but for the sake of later expression, it was called the Hetao area in advance. It is the big bend of the Yellow River, the surrounding area has a developed water system, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, soil erosion is far less serious than today, grasslands, forests are everywhere.

Here just belongs to Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong three county jurisdiction, the Hetao area since ancient times there is a folk proverb "the Yellow River is harmful, only rich one" said, from the pre-Qin began to set up a county here, the Western Han Dynasty also moved a large number of people from the interior, carefully operated, the Eastern Han Dynasty began to gradually abandon, after the Southern Xiongnu returned to the Han Dynasty, many Huns lived here.
