The 112th Luoyang County Yellow Turban Army Conference 4
Jin Jue's answer just now made all the older Yellow Turban soldiers present fall into deep thought.
But at this time, someone stood up and asked, "Childe, why did you order someone to take away the food from my family?" Do you have to work every day to get your rations? ”
Fu Gan took the initiative to stand up, which did play a role in breaking the deadlock, no, someone immediately learned from him to stand up.
"Childe, this person is surnamed Wang, and his name is Wang Ren. He was originally a small and small local wealthy family in Luoyang County, and his family had several hectares of fertile land, but all of it was cultivated by himself and his sons, and he was a good farmer, because his family did not employ tenants, so there was no such thing as oppressing the people. Therefore, when Liu Xiongming cleared the land, he did not confiscate the excess land in his family.
This Wang Ren is a notoriously miserly, and this time you sent people to each house to collect grain, but he was blocked at his house. That is, Liu Juncheng has a good temper, and in the process of collecting grain, he only sent troops to stop him and his sons, if he is replaced by a general or a general Li, he must kill them. Lu Huo introduced on the side.
Before, although Jin Jue handed over all the affairs of Luoyang County to Liu Xiongming, after all, Liu Xiongming had never been an official and had never managed anyone, so in order to prevent him from making major omissions when doing things, Jin Jue sent Lu Huo to Liu Xiongming's side and let him play the role of assisting and reminding.
In addition, Lu Huo has a very good memory, so he knows all the big and small affairs in the entire Luoyang County, and he knows all the more famous people in the city.
Fortunately, this Wang Ren is not surnamed Huang, otherwise, with his name alone, Jin Jue wants Liu Xiongming to kill him immediately.
"Hmmm! Later, after the conference is over, you ask Liu Xiongming to personally take the records of the government to carefully check whether this Wang Ren has missed paying taxes, and if so, according to the amount, directly use the land in his family to compensate. Jin Jue nodded, commanded in a low voice, and then looked down at Wang Ren and replied: "The matter of collecting grain is the order issued by this son."
To tell the truth, before, when Ben Gongzi had just taken over Luoyang County, he had already found that the official warehouse of Luoyang County had been hollowed out by the previous county. Otherwise, Ben Gongzi would not have ordered General Cheng to let go of the former county commander and county lieutenant, and only killed the county commander and his henchmen.
As you can see, as more and more of the Yellow Turban Army came to join me, the population of Luoyang County is now becoming more and more numerous, and the grain that this son took back from Caohan City before, as well as the food that he took from Zhang Lujun, is beyond his means. In this case, in order to ensure that all the people in Luoyang County can live until next year's summer grain harvest, Ben Gongzi had to make this decision and borrow some grain from the aborigines of Luoyang County to survive.
You all listened, my son said to borrow, that is, borrow, later, I will ask Liu Juncheng to count the specific figures, and this son will personally send the written IOU to your house.
Confucius once said: 'Those who hear that there is a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety. There is no poverty, no widowhood, and no inclination. What does that mean? I'm not afraid of having few things, I'm afraid of unfair distribution, I'm not afraid of being poor at home, I'm afraid that I, the county guard, won't make everyone in Luoyang County feel safe. In the most difficult period now, if the wealth of the county is evenly distributed, then everyone is the same, and there is no need to be poor; If the aborigines can live in harmony with the Yellow Turban Army, the territory will be peaceful, and there will be no longer the threat of being bullied and occupied by surrounding forces.
I promise here that by this time next year, I will return to you every grain I owe you. However, the land in Luoyang County was originally very limited, and Liu Juncheng did not do a meticulous job when he was doing the work of clearing the land last time. After the summer and autumn harvest next year, all the land in the county will be officially redeemed, and the rest of the people can only be allocated 10 acres of land, except for those who have made meritorious contributions in the past, each person can keep a maximum of 20 acres of arable land.
Of course, there are now nearly 200,000 people gathered in Luoyang County, and the land of Luoyang County alone cannot support so many people, so most of the Yellow Turban Army will move to Wudu County before the spring of next year.
Therefore, Ben Gongzi announced that from now on, from this day on, everyone will not only have to participate in labor every day, but also each person will only receive two meals a day with a ration of three taels. If any of you complains, you can do nothing but sit and die. However, when the time comes, if you or your family starve to death because of this, don't blame this son for being hard-hearted! ”
When Jin Jue said this, his expression and tone never changed, but after listening to his last words, those aborigines of Luoyang County, who were willing to be like Wang Ren, because the food at home was robbed, immediately shivered.
Where is this little cripple hard-hearted! His heart is already black. Not to mention grabbing grain, next year we will directly grab the arable land in their hands.
However, in the face of Jin Jue's threat of such a red fruit, all the small and medium-sized landlords, including Wang Ren, have become honest, even if they have no intention of resisting in their minds, they are different from the Yellow Turban Army from Hebei who was forced away just now, there are old and young in the family, once they offend Jin Jue, even if Jin Jue does not kill them, if at this time, their whole family is driven out of Luoyang County, and their fate will be greeted with only one word 'death'!
"Childe, if we go to Wudu County next year, is there a limit to the amount of arable land we can get?" The aborigines didn't dare to speak, but a bold Yellow Turban Army boy asked loudly.
"Of course there will be, in fact, you foreign Yellow Turban Army don't know that the terrain of Wudu County is similar to that of Luoyang County, in one sentence, that is, seven mountains, two forests and one land, what does it mean? If there are 100 miles of land in Luoyang County, then 70 miles of land are mountains, 20 miles are forests, and the remaining 10 miles are cultivated land, and some of the subordinate counties in Wudu County are in even worse condition, and there is not even a single piece of land.
Therefore, after you move to the counties that our army now controls next year, you will only be able to allocate ten acres of land. Even in the future, Ben Gongzi led his troops to capture Hanzhong County. However, don't be disappointed, after Ben Gongzi leads the troops to capture the entire Yizhou, everyone present will be able to get the most fertile land in Shu County. Jin Jue's words not only answered the other party's question, but also drew a big cake to satisfy the hunger of the Yellow Turban Army present.
"Of course, when distributing food every day, this son will give special care to three types of people in consideration of special circumstances.
In the first category, children, who are under the age of 15, excluding those under the age of 15, can eat three meals a day, and each meal is a meal of five taels.
However, children over the age of 10, including those aged 10, must also participate in the labour force.
By the way, this son happens to be fifteen years old this year, so he is not included in the list of people who are given preferential treatment.
The second category is pregnant women.
Pregnant women eat the same daily meals as their children, and they do not have to take part in labor.
The third category is the patient.
Depending on the patient's condition, there will be different benefits in the city.
My father-in-law is a miracle doctor, so don't think about pretending to be sick to get by. Jin Jue went on to say the special case in the distribution of grain.
"Childe, you don't have to do that. Your own health is not good, you should eat more to replenish your body. After listening to this, a Yellow Turban Army aunt looked at Jin Jue's weak chicken-like little body, and shouted distressedly.
Childe has done so much, just to let everyone survive, which is enough for the Yellow Turban Army and most of the aborigines of Luoyang County who are present. There is no need for him to suffer with the big guys. What's more, if Jin Jue raises his body well, won't he be able to continue to lead them to a better life?
"No, I said that I would give you equality, so naturally we must treat everyone equally." Jin Jue was very moved after hearing this, but he still replied firmly.
