Chapter 449: Hire Your Soldiers First, Then Your Country—4

In any case, the help that Hui and Liurui brought to the Liangzhou system was far beyond the imagination of the management, at least, when Suning slightly changed the Han Dynasty's land granting system, allowing him to have a more flexible way of dealing with it, this feng shui treasure land became a target for more people to covet.

The Ganges River valley is an important birthplace of agricultural civilization, if it is not well cultivated after occupying it, it will be a huge waste, but in the second century AD in ancient India, although there has been some progress in agriculture, such as the development of water conservancy projects, and the widespread promotion of iron farming tools, they have only just begun. Compared to the Chinese civilization, which had already made iron farming tools and water conservancy projects a top priority five or six hundred years ago, such a thing is too unsurprising. So they finally decided to use their own personal labor to change the properties of this land, so as not to let this feng shui treasure be wasted in the hands of this group of lazy insects.

But immigration through executive orders has slowly become unrealistic, because the vast northwest India and the riverine plains have long been able to meet their agricultural production needs, for the crowded Han Dynasty people, to be able to get three times the original land, it is enough for them to satisfy, more vast fields, in their eyes is already a luxury, although the pursuit of a better life, is the inevitable choice of everyone, but the matching water conservancy equipment has not been built, Then the difficulty of them to carry out farmland alone is still too high, and under the mature water conservancy system of the Han Dynasty, they have developed some lazy habits, otherwise they will obviously not be comfortable with other places.

To this end, Suning's trip to the occupied areas of India opened an improved version of the system of awarding land for military merit.

The reason why it is said to be an improved version is entirely because he doesn't want to distribute all the apprentices he just got to the soldiers, because that will limit the yearning of other free people for these lands, so he left about 4 to 5 percent of the land, but those who still covet these places know that if you are willing to turn wasteland into cultivated land, then you will have the ownership of this land, of course, the use of use is not allowed to be easily changed, who dares to develop local real estate here, it will be severely punished by Suning.

As for what to do with the fields that the soldiers have been allotted? That was, of course, hiring local labor to cultivate the land, and unlike the peasants who cultivated the wasteland, these soldiers did not get ownership of the land, not even the right to use it. All they can get is a fraction of the food produced here.

But this additional agricultural income obviously adds to the importance of the credit, at least in the long term and more beneficial than the money allocated to them.

It's just that in this way, those who have a certain amount of power in the Han Dynasty will not be able to get a new land here, even if they forcibly seize it through some means, they will be quickly identified by Suning's supervision system, because every piece of land already has its theoretical owner, users and stalkers Under the triple supervision, there are probably no people who can quietly cheat the land away, at least in the eyes of the Han nobles who are not too accustomed to this new system.

After hearing that such a system spread to the Central Plains, it also quickly caused widespread discussion, and those guys who constantly collected newspapers as intelligence within the Liangzhou system soon brought these policy changes to the people behind them, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and others, and the Kwantung princes were soon ready to imitate, but they soon realized it. Their men did not have such a large population, which made it difficult to reclaim the land.

Although farmers everywhere are enthusiastic to use their own labor to get the ownership of farmland, but for the relatively mature development of the Han court, the wasteland that can be reclaimed is not much than itself, most of it is soaked in the place, and most of these abandoned places have the original owners, which has caused a series of ownership problems. Some big families took advantage of this gap to create very complicated troubles for those in power.

Unfortunately, due to the rapid decline in population, there is no sign of a rapid rebound in the cultivated area of the land, because most farmers just want to have enough to eat, so when their cultivated area reaches the level of subsistence and clothing, they give up the idea of continuing to expand the cultivated land.

I heard that at this time, they needed to recuperate, and use the time to cultivate a generation of laborers to expand their farmland cultivation capacity, and after obtaining abundant food accumulation, they had enough capital to hire all kinds of long-term and short-term laborers. At that time, the output of the farmland will reach a similar peak, and the subsequent development will only be a simple accumulation of this style, and there is little practical significance for promoting productivity, and of course the various improvements to water conservancy and agricultural tools and seeds are not included in this simple model. It's a pity that even if it is such a simple model, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others can't ask Zong to understand, because Suning has already lost all these things in the secret content, and now the detailed rules of agricultural and animal husbandry production in Liangzhou newspapers are getting fewer and fewer, and most of them are industrial product manufacturing problems that the Kwantung princes can't do.

This put the princes of Guangdong at a psychological disadvantage, because they thought that the territory they controlled was not there, and the Liangzhou region was rich and developed, and if the two sides started a battle, then they could win very much, which also ensured the security of the Liangzhou system to some extent, because Suning's troops in the east were too small.

But this does not mean that the place where he gathers heavy troops can bring rich victories, especially in the Ganges River valley that he has just obtained, and the new territory before the production of various forces in the country can be fully mobilized is not necessarily a good thing for the empire, so when the Baicheng Dynasty really began to mobilize the army and prepare to compete with him for the Ganges River Valley, Suning's Liangzhou system was still arguing unhurriedly, should it take the initiative to carry out military tuntian?

Fortunately, the soldiers from the Great Qin Empire in the West had long been prepared for war, and it was simply a part of their lives. So a sudden encounter successfully broke the original calm of the Liangzhou system.
