Chapter 138 The Aspirations of the People The general trend is the same

"Dare to ask Lord Liu, there are a total of six people in the old husband's family, I wonder if they can all get land? If I don't want to farm, can I sell it? ”

used up the savings of most of his life as an official, saved money and bought hundreds of acres of fertile land, Qin Zekun originally wanted to rely on collecting rent and providing for the elderly easily;

Suddenly, Liu Huayun jumped out and said that the imperial court wanted to buy the land, and at the beginning, he could only give 30% of the land purchase money, and the other 70% needed to wait for another ten years, how could he be happy in his heart.

However, as a former Zhongmu County Commander, he also knew that the emperor's order could not be violated, and the other party also said that the land would be distributed, so he asked rhetorically with some hope.

"Well~~~, that's the case, Qin Lao, as a citizen of Xinghuaying Village, should be given the land they deserve;

However, you have no intention of cultivating these acres of fertile land, and you still have to find someone to sell them, which has caused two profits, and it is not in line with the policy that everyone has land and everyone pays grain in the future, and you can't sell it......

Well, if you and your family are willing to farm and are willing to pay taxes on grain, we will give you the land, and if you don't, I can only say I'm sorry. ”

The so-called land reform is to change private ownership to public ownership, and the cultivated land is owned by the state, and the people can only rent the crops, but have no right to sell.

When it comes to the specific implementation of this piece, there will definitely be a lot of resistance and problems encountered, and Liu Huayun, who knows that blocking is not as good as sparse, still patiently explained.

According to him, after the redistribution of land in Xinghuaying Village, it will remain unchanged for ten years, that is, the population redistribution will be counted again after ten years.

In previous years, consideration was given to the special situation of some families who were unable to farm due to a lack of cattle or the loss of male orphans and widows.

You can apply for a small share of cultivated land, or rent your own responsibility land to a strong and capable villager who has the ability to farm and sell grain to make money, and the specific price is negotiated by the two parties;

The only premise is that the land allocated to you cannot be abandoned, otherwise you will be punished with heavy fines, which is also the most important part of ensuring food security.

What moved Qin Zekun and all the people of Xinghuaying Village was that they only needed to pay 20% of a season's grain and wheat as a tax to the imperial court every year, and the rest could be kept as rations or sold for silver.

And Lord Liu in front of him also made it very clear that after the harvest of grain and wheat every year, the average yield per mu of fertile land and barren land is taken to convert the tax to be paid, just like this year, when there is no harvest in a catastrophe year, there is no need to pay taxes.

What kind of concept is this, take the four members of Huang Ren's family as an example, they can get at least seventeen or eighteen acres of cultivated land.

Of course, for the sake of fairness, there will be a good first-class and a barren one.

According to the average yield of wheat per mu at this time, it is only necessary to hand over two to three quintals every year, and the remaining dozen quintals are their own, and there is no need to pay taxes on corn and sorghum in autumn.

As long as you work hard, you can harvest twenty or thirty quintals of wheat and corn every year, which is not only more than enough to fill your stomach, but even if you don't harvest a grain in a season in the event of a natural disaster, everyone no longer has to flee the famine to ask for food.

"Lord Liu, is what you said true?"

"Lord Liu, does the imperial court really want to give us arable land?"

"Lord Liu, we really only need to pay one season's tax grain......

If it is really as the young man in front of him said, it will not be long, at most three or five years, if the wind and rain are smooth, every household can buy cattle and raise poultry;

The surplus grain can be exchanged for silver money to repair the house, add covers, furniture, etc., compared to the high rent paid every year now, to Zhou Yuanwai and Master Qin, the people can be regarded as turning into serfs and singing.

Therefore, everyone was afraid that this was just a dream that was not very real, and many people asked timidly.

"Yes, your Xinghuaying Village is the first batch of pilots in the whole Dafeng and under the emperor's grace......

And this year, my father-in-law Xu Yun will also provide you with seeds for free, as well as the method of fermenting organic fertilizer, and how to cross-breed new varieties;

Wait for this day or two, let Mr. Cui and the representatives of the masses elected by everyone sort out and distribute the land, and you can go to Kaifeng to receive seeds and sow seeds in the field while the moisture is good. ”

In Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Luoyang and other places after the catastrophe, food is still very scarce, in order to fill everyone's stomach, it is best to plant more soybeans, sorghum, sweet potatoes that do not require much fertilizer and water...... and other crops;

As for wheat and corn, which have a large demand for fertilizer, before he leaves Kaifeng, Liu Huayun will also select several cold-tolerant, cold-tolerant, and best-performing varieties in previous years, and ask Xu Yun to inform them of the method of cross-breeding.

"I'm waiting to thank Lord Liu, thank Lord Xu, and thank my emperor long live.......

I heard that not only are the seeds free, but as long as the crops in your own fields mutate into new varieties with higher yields, they can be bought back by the Admiral at double the price;

Ge Erniu, Sanwazi, Old Man Xie, Huang Ren and other villagers gathered more and more, all of them were ecstatic, and under the leadership of Cui Dibao, everyone knelt down and thanked them.

Even Zhang Xia, who was wronged at the beginning and was kneeling under her apricot tree with Huang Li in her arms at the moment, was full of excited smiles on her face.

To say that the only exception on the scene is the father and son of the Zhou family.

Iron rooster Zhou Chunfu and playboy Zhou Liang are as if they are isolated by the world, standing is not kneeling or embarrassing, although Qin Zegang is smiling, but he also has obvious helplessness in his eyes.

"Everyone, hurry up, as the so-called season waits for no one, it's better to complete the land consolidation and distribution as soon as possible, and prepare for sowing......

Feeling the enthusiasm of the villagers and the gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, He Jin, who was the future Empress of Dafeng, didn't feel a little warm in her heart, and couldn't help but stand up and smile.

"Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, so don't kneel."

Liu Huayun smiled coquettishly and waved his hand at the right time.

What the? He is actually the current prince, and he can't complain that there are so many masters around him.

It's over, the prince personally presided over the resumption of the land, and it is not easy to find anyone, it seems that the family's fertile land cannot be saved.

As soon as Liu Huayun said this, He Jin, who didn't want to be high-profile, gave him a speechless look;

Zhou Chunfu's body trembled for a while, and Cui Dibao, Ge Erniu and other villagers who had thought of him bowed three times again, and shouted that the prince was a thousand years old before he was willing to get up.

"Hey~~, His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Liu, Lord Xu, the old man has no objection, I am willing to pay taxes like the villagers; I hope that everyone can allocate the land to my family fairly, and the old man will go back and get the land deed......"

The general trend of the people's will is not something that can be disobeyed by individuals, after the atmosphere at the scene calmed down, the old man Qin Zegang took a step forward, bowed deeply to He Jin, and said so.

"Elder Qin understands the righteousness, you can rest assured, this official will have someone send three percent of the silver taels and the official certificate of the signed arrears to your house tomorrow."

The land reform in Xinghuaying Village is imperative, even if Zhou Chunfu and Qin Zekun disagree, they must be dealt with by using some extraordinary means, but fortunately, Qin Zegang took the initiative to cooperate, Xu Yun was very pleased and assured.
