Chapter 308: Implementing the New Deal - People's Livelihood
Regarding the land rent, Lu Shi once again emphasized, "This land division, especially for our soldiers, should be doubled according to the above-mentioned fields, and the land rent will be completely exempted. ”
This proposal was approved by everyone with military positions. The third uncle also said that children who fight to death should be treated like this.
"But King Chuang, now we have a small number of people, according to King Chuang's method of dividing the land, then there will be a large area of idle land along the Hulu River alone, wouldn't it be wasted?" Chen San frowned and said, Chen San was born as a farmer, and he felt pain when he saw a large piece of land idle.
Wu Tao said with a smile; "That's not a problem, I have a way, let's talk about it."
Everyone turned their attention to Wu Tao.
"In fact, it is very simple, that is, to encourage everyone to open up wasteland, in addition to cultivating their own ration fields, properly reclaim wasteland, the reward is not to rent for three years, the production belongs to the individual, and after three years, the cottage will recover and distribute it uniformly."
"Well, in this way, the wasteland can be developed, and when the fields are ripe in the second year, it will also increase the income of their family, and also realize my original intention of storing grain for the people. We can purchase surplus grain to supplement the shortage of military rations, or use it for the construction of base areas. Lu Shi applauded happily.
"Storing food for the people? What do you mean? Guo Tianxing asked inexplicably.
"Now there is a great drought in the world, such a large-scale drought is not a year or two to pass, it is likely to be a few years or even more than ten years, so that the harvest will be fatal, so we must expand grain production as much as possible, there is a way is to have food in our hands and not panic, which is also the basis for our rise of everything. But if the food is produced and concentrated in our hands, it will be necessary to build a large number of warehouses for storage, not to mention the time-consuming and costly, and it is easy to produce waste and **, and there will be various drawbacks when the grain is released during the disaster.
Storing grain in the hands of the people, first, there is no need for us to build warehouses to reduce costs, and second, the grain is in the hands of the people, and the people must cherish it very much, so as to reduce the loss and waste. Third, grain in the hands of the people is conducive to social stability. When the people have grain in their hands, they have a fortune in their hands, and if they are born, old, sick and dead, they can have extra money to deal with emergencies, and they can also take it out to the market to buy materials, speed up market circulation, promote the prosperity of the market, and make the entire base area prosperous. This multi-tasking event should be vigorously developed. ”
Everyone in the front understands quite well, but what drives the market circulation in the back is not understood, market economics, so where is the people of this era understand? Lu Shi was also reluctant to explain at this time, and when the land and other things were done well, Lu Shi was ready to start supporting commercial operations, which was the real open source method.
Since it is necessary to implement the practice of storing grain for the people, Cao Meng stood up and suggested: "Since storing grain is harmless to the people, then our cottage still has a large amount of seized surplus grain, rather than putting it in the cottage and letting the rats spoil it, it is better to keep enough for our military, and we will use the rest to pay for various construction costs in the base area, so that everyone can have income and realize the storage of grain for the people, and at the same time I suggest that the newly reclaimed ration field will be exempted from land rent next year, okay?" Otherwise, in addition to the ration field, the newly reclaimed land will be distributed to future generations or born people in vain after three years, that is, the future generations will get nothing for nothing. Land reclamation is also time-consuming and laborious, which is unfair to people nowadays. "Cao Meng is a righteous man, and he hopes to be fair in everything.
"It makes sense, or Mengzi is thoughtful, but I don't know if the third uncle is willing?" Lu Shi agreed.
Although the third uncle was in pain, he thought about it, so he gritted his teeth and said; "Okay, it's up to you, anyway, there is enough food in the cottage, and it's also put away."
"But there's also a matter here, I don't know if King Chuang has ever considered it?" Chen Ce asked another question.
"What kind of problem, let's study and solve it." Lu Shi asked with a smile.
"That is, everyone has ** greed, if the old and young in the cottage only need to be plastered along the river, and everyone on the slope of the mountain does not want it, isn't it also a problem? We can't use it against our fathers and fellow villagers. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement with this question, Chen Ce didn't know the means by which Lu Shi built the windmill at the beginning, so he asked this question. So Lu Shi was confident; "It's not a problem, when I have time to do something for everyone to show the day after tomorrow, maybe everyone will have to scramble to ask for the mountains, after all, the ration fields in the mountains are twice as much as the land along the river, or twice as long as the land that can be cultivated for a lifetime."
Chen Ce and Chen San asked again, and Lu Shi picked it up and said; "Mountain people have their own tricks, hahahaha." Everyone is looking forward to it.
Nonsense, if Lu Shi can't change something, then wouldn't it be called the traversal masters to die of laughter?
"Now the land affairs are generally like this, I wonder what the Grand Commander's opinion is?"
Guo Tianxing doesn't know anything about these government affairs, but when he thinks about the bright prospects of the base area, he will only smirk, where is there any opinion? Seeing Lu Shiwen, he nodded busily and said yes.
"The matter of land endowment, for the time being, there must be omissions during the period, we can only cross the river by feeling the stones, where to go, what to find, which ones to solve, but everything is based on the people's livelihood, the interests of the people first, and then take into account the others." Lu Shi finally concluded.
The policy is a new policy, but there will be shortcomings in its implementation, after all, everyone lacks experience and can only grope for it.
"The next step is the question of how to arrange our fathers and elders, our affairs are complicated and numerous, so we must mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized, every village must do it, strong men open up wasteland and farm, old people and children sharpen knives and weave rattan armor for soldiers, women breed and weave, and soldiers will concentrate on training to protect our hard-won achievements."
"That's right, King Chuang is right." Everyone agreed.
"Also, we have used the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks seized these times, and organized women and children to graze and breed, which are all the credit of the third uncle."
The third uncle's face turned red, and he cleaned the battlefield to the point where he didn't even let go of other people's chickens and ducks, and he really did everything.
"These can be put in the families near the mountain, we just supervise that they are not slaughtered, if there is a phenomenon of slaughtering without permission, we do not hesitate to use torture to stop, and then the breeding must be registered, we use cloth or salt or other daily necessities to buy, of course, with silver money, and then supply our soldiers to supplement nutrition, now is an extraordinary period, can only be this way, as long as this period is passed, everyone will naturally be free-range, we will not worry about this." In fact, policies cannot promote development, nature is the driving force of development, and silver money will be dominated by the market in the future, but now it seems that silver money is not very useful for our base areas. Everyone laughed, Lu Shi was right, now the entire base area is useless, but the silver is useless. It will take two or three years for the silver to be useful.
"Cows, we want to limit slaughtering, because this is a large livestock to improve production, every cow killed must get the consent of the fourth elder or the third uncle who is responsible for the management of the old camp on the cottage, we distribute the cattle according to the village, and hand them over to those old ways to raise, and the village uses cattle to plow in the autumn to give this old style a certain amount of grain, in order to offset the cost of raising, and we charge half of the normal price for the calves that are bred, and then the calf is owned by the breeder, do you think this method is feasible?" Lu Shi made another suggestion.
"Good way." Everyone admired together, how did King Chuang's head grow? It can be said that these methods of Lu Shi take into account all the interests of breeders and cottages, and also greatly mobilize people's enthusiasm. You can't help him if you want him to kill him.
"Actually, our cottage also has a way to quickly come to meat, I don't know if King Chuang is willing to listen?" Cao Meng stood up and scratched his head embarrassedly.
Yo, Geng Kui, who is only obsessed with fighting and killing, also has a good opinion? Listen to that. So everyone was interested.
Cao Meng was born as a farmer, lost his father at a young age, depended on his widowed mother, and was bullied by the powerful in the village. But these can't really keep the mother and child alive at all, and what really keeps the mother and child alive is the rabbit raised at home.
When it comes to the rabbit Cao Meng, he is talking eloquently, which can be described as experienced. (Spend Genuine, Spend Author, Spend 17k)
"Rabbits are a good thing. It's fast to breed and easy to raise, and it doesn't need food, just a little hard work. Rabbits from young rabbits to the breeding period as long as 40 days, and then the cub period is a month, each time can give birth to at least five or six, up to a dozen can be born, that is to say, a female rabbit can breed four or five litters of cubs a year, that is, fifty or sixty rabbits, rabbits grow very fast, at least one or two days a day can gain one or two, that is, two months down can reach six or seven pounds, completely enough for our team of a meal of meat, not only meat, but more importantly rabbit fur, that is, light and warm, made into cotton clothes than cotton to keep warm.
The most important thing is that the rabbit is not a strong labor at all, the elderly and children are the most suitable, as long as they can go up the mountain to cut the grass and cut some branches, it is equivalent to a business without capital, so that there are not many families, there are one or two female rabbits, so everyone calculates, how many households do we have now? In that case, how much meat and how much fur will we have in half a year? ”
"yes, how can you ignore this efficient and fast way to source meat and fur? Once it becomes a scale, how much food and cloth can we save, Cao Meng brothers really said a good way, third uncle, tomorrow immediately arranged, we must vigorously develop the rabbit business, the slogan is - a litter of rabbits, equal to a small treasury. We will collect all the rabbits raised, and first set a rabbit for 20 catties of food. ”
The third uncle also applauded loudly. In this way, not only did the army bring a lot of meat and fur, but more importantly, the people also got a lot of income, which was more than one stone.
Chunlan immediately jumped out and said cheerfully; "Fourth brother, I'll arrest this matter, I will mobilize all the sisters in the base area, not half a year, I will definitely let our soldiers eat delicious rabbit meat and wear warm leather clothes."
"Sister Chunlan is just right to do this job, but Sister Chunlan must not raise rabbits as pets, and it will be troublesome if you can only watch and not eat at that time." Lu Shi didn't forget to tease Chunlan at this time, causing a room full of laughter, and Chunlan glared at him fiercely, which was regarded as revenge.
