Chapter 44: Martial Arts Master
By the end of February, while the land clearance and household registration clearance were in full swing, Yang Xuan had focused on the resettlement of displaced people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
More than 300 captives were captured in the ancient city of Yunshan, and hundreds of displaced people were recruited in the past month, so nearly 1,000 displaced people needed to be resettled.
This is only for the displaced people who need to be resettled by the government, and even more for those who have returned to their hometowns. In the past few months, all intersections have been full of slogans, and everyone has heard that even if you add three salaries per mu of fertile land, you can only give 6 cents of silver, which is too low.
There are policies and countermeasures, and there are a few taxes levied by the yamen according to the field endowment, and in the past, there were no three salaries, 3 cents and 4 cents can be levied to 1 yuan and 5 cents, and of course the three salaries can be levied to 2 yuan and 3 yuan of silver per mu.
Although everyone is suspicious, since the government says so, many people still choose to believe the government, end their lives as refugees, and return to their hometowns to do farm work.
After returning to their hometown, they immediately rushed to the land clearance and population clearance, and many people suddenly realized that the Yamen secretary and the township head, who presided over the measurement, privately revealed that the actual area of the Qingzhang was far more than that reported to the imperial court, and it was also more than the area of land expropriated in previous years.
In the past, it was only the area reported to the imperial court during the Hongwu period, and the economy of Sichuan collapsed in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and the area of land cultivation decreased sharply.
After more than 200 years of development, the cultivated land of the people has already exceeded the heyday of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, how can it be reported to the imperial court that is only the area of the early years of the Ming Dynasty?
Although this time Qingzhang is much stricter than in the past, it is only a simple estimate of Qingzhang, and it is not like a formality in the past, even so, each village has hundreds of acres of land that is not on the actual collection of fish scales by the government, and there are hundreds of acres of land with an obviously wrong area.
Everyone suddenly realized, many people sighed that the county lord was like a mirror, knowing that a large area of private land was not registered, and this time the actual land area was measured, even if it was only levied according to 6 cents per acre, the tax collected was only a lot more.
In addition to sighing, in addition to praising the county lord's wisdom, everyone secretly scolded those squires for being too dark and those officials for being too greedy.
Under these circumstances, the displaced people returned one after another, the local population became more and more abundant, and the villages became more prosperous than before.
Based on all aspects of information, Yang Xuan certainly knows what everyone thinks, since this is the case, it is even more necessary to do a good job in the resettlement of displaced people, and do a good job in the resettlement of people.
At present, 20 resettlement sites for displaced people have been established in the county, and in order to ensure that the displaced people can live and work in peace and contentment, Yang Xuan has carried out the principle of subcontracting, and each township and each bureau has assisted a certain number of displaced people to help them build houses.
On this day, I took Yang Fuquan and Niu Dayong two guards, and after putting on makeup, I made a secret visit to see everyone's reaction to the new policy.
First came to a tun farming place, where more than 80 displaced people were settled, and from a distance, I heard the sound of tamping in front of me one after another, and when I got closer, we were building thatched huts for the displaced people.
There are two rows, and it is simply estimated that more than ten families can be housed, and the Chinese pay attention to the purchase of permanent property, and have houses and land for cultivation, so that these displaced people are almost tied up.
In this world, who wants to be an outcast, but who wants to be a homeless person anymore?
Seeing Yang Xuan rushing to the scene, everyone was grateful to Dade, and some even spontaneously kowtowed to express their gratitude.
Among them, the most complicated feelings are those prisoners, who thought they would be discriminated against, but the government lent everyone money, grain, cattle and horses, lent grain, and sent people to help build thatched huts.
In the past, everyone was lonely, and the family had a meal but no meal, but now at least there is hope.
Everyone has assured that although farming is hard, it is even more difficult to escape from the famine, and the corpses who starve to death are called hard work.
In addition, there were two or three boys, and they all wanted one of them to go out and serve in the army, although the army assessment was very strict.
People often ask when the army will be expanded, if the army is successful, there will be 5 taels of silver settling-in allowance, the first three months have 1 tael of silver salary, after the regularization is raised to 1 tael of 5 silver.
If one member of the family joins the army, then the whole family does not need to borrow food from the government at all, and they can also be self-reliant and put down roots in the local area.
And Yang Xuan has another thought, in the past, no matter what identity or occupation the army recruited, as long as it was a person, as long as it was strong, it was very simple, but just like Wang Chaoyang's department, didn't there be a mutiny?
Now the township office has been established under the county to strengthen local control, and the same is true for this recruitment.
All conscripts are not able to come if they want to, they must be guaranteed by the head of the Lijia and reviewed by the head of the township.
The monthly salary of the soldier is 1 tael, the official soldier is 1 tael and 5 yuan, and there are any skills (such as firing, such as archery, horseback riding, or being good at fighting) 2 taels of silver, which is not high in the city, but it is quite attractive to the children of peasant families in the countryside.
As Yang Xuan said, everyone can not only look at this point of military salary, but also look at the future background, if the battlefield meritorious service can be promoted to a small flag chief, a general flag chief, a hundred generals, or something, this is better than at home in the south of the yellow mud with his back to the sky.
If you are a soldier, your family is exempted from servitude, and someone in your family goes out to serve as a soldier and has already served in the army, and this is mainly for those families who have not served.
After serving as a soldier, if you make meritorious service on the battlefield, if you retire in the future, you will be given priority to the government service team, and now the white service team has been exempted, and the number of local tolerances has increased greatly, and a large number of tolerances are required.
Of course, these soldiers who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield should be taken care of and rewarded, and tolerance is a reward.
Maybe some scholars despise tolerance, thinking that it is done by lowly people, but the common people are different.
As described in the "Outer History of Confucianism", the people see that the tolerance is called Daddy, translated into the southern dialect, that is, called uncle, regardless of men, women and children, they are called Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang or something, so it can be seen that in the folk can be said to be majestic, majestic characters on all sides.
In the past, some tolerances who often received errands could earn hundreds of taels a year (Confucianism claimed a thousand taels in the history of Confucianism), and now the tolerance income is not low.
The regular salary is 5 taels and 5 yuan, and if you add various commissions, you can get more than 30 taels a year, which is much easier than doing farm work at home.
....
In this case, Yang Xuan is not worried about not being able to recruit good soldiers with good character, no, hearing that everyone is willing to send their children to join the army, Yang Xuan just said that everyone is welcome to join the army, as long as they pass the assessment.
Walking along the cultivation site, I saw an acquaintance from a distance, that is, the martial artist who was rescued in prison - Du Jigui was desperately digging a ditch, and was sentenced to 30 days of hard labor that day, and now he was digging a ditch as hard labor, and when he saw Yang Xuan passing by, he hurriedly put down the hoe and kowtowed to thank him.
Yang Xuanle helped him up and said with a smile: "Du Wushi, you, you were sentenced to hard labor, and you resent me?" ”
They were all shocked, and quickly knelt down and shook their heads again and again: "Adult, it's the little reborn parents, the little ones are toothless and unforgettable, how dare you resent the adults?"
On that day, the little one was arrested and put in prison, and was slandered as a bandit by the officials, if it wasn't for the adults to save him, the little one would have died in prison. ”
Yang Xuan patted the other party's shoulder, felt his body stiff, frowned and smiled: "You, you have to learn a lesson this time, although a manly man stands up to the sky and the earth, and he must be a man with enthusiasm, but it also depends on the situation."
At that time, bandits were rampant, and the officials were rampant, and you, you scolded the officials, and you declared in front of the public that you wanted to go through the local tyrants, of course you would be punished. ”
Du Jigui knelt down and said gratefully: "The adults say this, and the little ones understand." Adults have the grace of life for the small, and the small ones have nothing to repay, and they are willing to follow the adults, saddle before and after the horse, and obey their orders. ”
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I heard that you are from a practicing family, although I can't do kung fu, but Yang Fuquan and Niu Dayong are not bad, or do you learn from each other?"
are all overjoyed, and they say yes.
Everyone put on a posture, and you fought back and forth next to this canal.
Lian Wu Yang Xuan is a half-ass, but after all, he is well-informed, and he hopes to see his personal personality from the battle between the two sides, so he is even more careful.
are all extremely martial artists, and their fists and feet are mainly based on fighting, unlike Yang Fuquan, Niu Dayong and others who have fought on the battlefield for a long time, and they are not as ruthless as the other party.
But if it is purely based on kung fu, it should be above Yang Fuquan and Niu Dayong, and the tie was made for a while, probably mainly due to the martial artist's personality, and he wanted to win the opponent beautifully, so let everyone be convinced.
In addition to a hundred moves, Du Jigui won one after another, looking at the panting crowd, Yang Xuan rewarded Du Jigui with a short sword, and then said with a smile: "Although Master Du's martial arts are slightly better, the battlefield battle is still slightly different from the usual competition." ”
Originally, who knew that he was poured a basin of cold water, and his face changed slightly, but he still said yes.
Asked Ming Du Ji to return to labor for two days, Yang Xuan asked him to report after completing his labor, and he went to the Security Bureau to start with the guards.
