In order to motivate everyone to work hard, he announced that the Huang family was ready to leave 800 households here to guard, and if there were casualties, the Huang family would be responsible to the end. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Gu Shanhai told everyone that if he was killed by Jiannu when he was punctual in Zhongming Fort, the Huang family would pay a pension of 50 taels of silver for each person, regardless of men, women and children, and the Tuntian would be destroyed, and the Huang family would provide rations for free.

The Huang family is responsible for raising the children until they are fifteen years old, and the old Huang family is supporting the elderly.

The credibility of the Huang family is impeccable in Liaodong, everyone who comes to work here believes in the promise of the Huang family, and they also know that the city under construction will be their home in the future, and everyone spares no effort to work.

The project is progressing smoothly, and the city wall is one zhang high in less than a month, and with such a semi-finished product, it is no longer afraid of the Jiannu cavalry assault, and the subsequent project will be much safer.

In order to save costs, the city wall designed by Zhongming Fort is not high, only more than two zhang, that is, seven meters, which is enough, because the two strong north and south city gate towers are protruding from the city wall, like a fort, which can completely cooperate with the artillery fire of the west fort and the east fort to hit any enemy who tries to approach in vain.

Since the Huang family began to equip their own arsenal to produce steel artillery with greatly reduced weight, Huang Sheng thought that it was too bulky and eliminated too many six-pound and four-pound copper-core iron cannons.

However, the artillery for defending the city is a little heavier and harmless, but it is a little more cumbersome to install.

The forts in the north and south gates of Zhongming Fort are equipped with ten artillery pieces, and many of the gunners rescued by the Huang family last year are gunners and sailors, and the gunners of the original Juehua Island have been mixed with them, and it is enough to arrange 80 people to garrison them.

Huang Sheng deliberately cultivated the knowledge of young artillerymen who didn't want them to be stationed in a certain place, because if the enemy didn't come to attack the fortress they were guarding at all, they might not have the opportunity to experience actual combat in their lives.

It was planned to give 50 acres of fertile land to each of the gunners stationed in the garrison, and let their families live in Dongbao to guard them, which was already good, and the soldiers stationed there had a basic military salary of two taels of silver per month.

Fifty mu of land can theoretically be more than 60 stone of wheat, and the Huang family only charges 30% of the average yield per mu as a protection fee and all taxes and fees, and it stands to reason that the tunmin can get 42 stone of wheat, and after the cost, there should be 30 stone to sell military rations.

The Huang family purchased the output of the people of Liaodong at the market price, and the guaranteed price was seven coins of silver per stone, so the annual income of each family should exceed twenty taels of silver, not counting military salaries.

The industrious Hermes-Epitek will also interplant a lot of cash crops such as melons, fruits, vegetables, etc., and will also raise poultry and feed pigs to engage in side jobs, because there are soldiers and civilians living here, and they have purchasing power, and they can achieve a well-off life as long as they work hard.

Although the tax fee of 30% is very high, far greater than the grain standard set by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the Huang family will not ask for grain from farmers when natural disasters come, and will feed back to the tun households after on-the-spot investigations.

In fact, the land policy of the Ming Dynasty was very sad, the imperial court could not collect taxes and fees, and the tenants of the Ming Dynasty could not get benefits, and they all went into the pockets of those bureaucratic landlords.

After Huang Sheng, the tax on land and mu was determined that the peasants only needed to give 30% of the land harvest, and there was no need for the peasants to sell it into silver and pay the grain directly, and no one could add those dazzling tricks, so that many ways of exploitation were blocked.

Those officials in the Ming Dynasty used their ingenuity in pit farmers, and they simply collected grain and goods in a variety of ways.

For example, along the collection, branching, folding, foot money, additional consumption, Yicang, Da Dou, Da Hu, Dou Mian, Hu Mian (the part of the tax grain that is higher than the tip of the pile of Dou Mian Hu Noodles when paying taxes), Presentation (in the name of officials inspecting tax samples, overcollecting peasants' grain and other products), kicking buckets, and so on.

Zhang Juzheng's whip law was crooked by the landlords and profiteers, Zhang Juzheng's starting point is good, don't want things, let the people buy their own silver to pay taxes, he is very naïve to think that this is not only convenient for the court, but also let the people less exploitation.

Who knows the opposite, the suffering of the common people is even deeper, because they need to pay taxes in cash, and the common people have no silver but only agricultural products, so they have no choice but to endure the pain and sell the silver to pay the taxes when the grain is the cheapest.

When the peasants are hungry, they may have to spend double or even several times the price of the grain they sold to buy back the grain.

In the late Ming Dynasty, a whip law was not convenient for the peasants but harmed the peasants, and the peasants paid all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were diluted to the yield per mu, and they were afraid that they would not get 30% of it.

And the Huang family ensures that every household gets 70% of the net, which should be able to make the farmers slowly become rich.

In Liaodong, some terra nullius land can be enclosed for peasants to cultivate, and it is clear that the ownership of the land belongs to them, and in order to prevent land annexation, it is stipulated that they cannot buy or sell each other for 15 years, and can only cultivate by themselves.

All the soldiers of the Huang family who knew how to work in agriculture selected 50,000 mu and abandoned the wasteland, and the fields near the water source helped sow 50,000 mu of spring wheat, and the horses of the Huang family and the horses of the Qinggeltai tribe were quite a lot.

In fact, horse farming is the technology of the Chinese, which was first recorded in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", in which it was mentioned that "but horses and dung are used".

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the iron smelting and casting industry was developed, and the spread of iron farming tools was more rapid. Horse farming and cattle farming have become common in the Central Plains. Among them is a description of horse farming.

Whether China is unified or divided, every period of power is preparing for war, and cavalry is an indispensable blade, which is why a large number of horses are used in war.

Even if the peasants had horses, once the war broke out, they would be requisitioned by the state, and the chances of cattle being requisitioned would be much less, so the oxen were used as a motive force to plough the land, and it continued, and the horse ploughing was gradually abandoned by the overly shrewd Han people.

Huang Sheng vigorously advocated that horse ploughing not only significantly improved the efficiency of ploughing, but also that the peasants were afraid that the state would requisition horses, but that the government would become robbers and rob them of the horses they had worked so hard to raise.

As long as the government gives enough money to buy grain, there is no problem, and the monarchs of each dynasty are relatively lowly bones, they can spend money and grain to import horses from foreign races at high prices, but they will take advantage of the common people under their own rule.

The steel produced by the Huang family was made of a kind of ploughshare plough with only a ploughshare and no ploughshare walls. It was developed according to several Liao people who were proficient in agriculture and Gu Shanhai and the blacksmith master in Tuntian, Juehua Island.

The tillage method of two horses pulling a steel plough with three wallless ploughs, and only subsoiling the soil without turning over the slices, greatly improved the efficiency, which was not suitable for the fine work of the south, and was too suitable for the extensive cultivation of the north.

Horse farming is not at all suitable for rice cultivation in the south, because horses are not used to trekking in the mud like cattle all day long, and they will get sick.

The advantage of promoting horse farming in eastern Liaoning is that when farming, soldiers and craftsmen can lead war horses and pull horses to help plough and sow seeds, as long as three or two days, and the later field management will be completed by the farmers who guard the family by family, and all the laborers will come to help grab the farm again during the autumn harvest.

Huang Sheng first built 50,000 acres of tuntian here to try the effect, and after gaining experience, he could gradually encroach on the land within 30 miles of the nearby sea, and the northeast was transformed into the 'Great Northern Warehouse' by the 'Great Northern Wilderness' in later generations.

The latitude there is closer to the North Pole, and the climate of the Liaoning West Corridor is much warmer than that of the Great Northern Wilderness, and the extreme cold of the Xiaoice River will not make it impossible to harvest even a ripe wheat here.

The Han peasants are too good at serving the fields, their skills are unparalleled in this era, and they are many times stronger than Westerners, and everyone understands the technology of rotating and fertilizing the fields, but they can't write and can only do.

All soldiers and civilians are willing to grow food, this is the innate habit of the Han people, every family knows that they must own land to ensure that they do not go hungry, and now they have the acres of land in hand, so they will naturally serve carefully.
