Chapter 52: It's Time to Dress Up for the People!
When it comes to farming, it seems to give people an illusion, as if in the Ming Dynasty, you could recruit a lot of displaced people to help you.
Just give the stuttering one to it!
However, this is not the case.
Because there has not yet been a large-scale famine in Shandong, recruiting displaced people depends on luck, and the flow of displaced people is uncertain. Sometimes a large number of displaced people poured into a certain place, and sometimes there was not a single person for hundreds of miles. Zhu Zilong didn't have the financial resources for the time being, so he went to various places across provinces to carry out large-scale publicity.
However, there are many family members of military families in the area, as well as a small number of displaced people, which can be used.
Even among the local good people, you can also think of a way, after all, each person will grant you land to rent dozens of acres. Even if some local military households have a large number of families, they can completely send some men to teach the fields, and the key is to make them believe in the prospects of the future tuntian.
In comparison, in the 21st century in New China, each peasant can only get a few acres of land, and the population of the Ming Dynasty is not much, so it seems that this aspect is still a little stronger.
Of course, the technology of ancient times was not strong, the seeds were not strong, the population was not large, and the output was not much. Dividing so much land, planting and planting, it seems very tiring, sweat!
But you can't help but plant so much, after all, the yield per mu is too small!
Soon, a small number of displaced people from several surrounding villages who were the first to be moved came to report first.
At this time, everyone was hungry, and Zhu Zilong loudly ordered more than a dozen women in Zhuangzi: "Sister-in-law of the Yang family, sister-in-law of the Qi family, you take the lead, go and cook some porridge quickly, and take rice directly from my family's rice kuri." Feed your new brothers! ”
Then he added: "The porridge should be thicker." If you can stand up chopsticks, it will prevail! ”
A dozen women answered with a loud voice, turned and went back to cooking porridge.
Zhu Zilong looked at these surrounding homeless people, including the small family, there were hundreds of people. There are both men and women, and as far as the eye can see, all of them are ragged and frail!
But among them, there may only be a few dozen sturdy young people. But it's better than nothing! And some of the children who shrunk next to their parents were even more unkempt, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their clothes were torn like sacks, and all of them were severely malnourished!
When they met Zhu Zilong's gaze and the two tigers at his feet, these people lowered their heads with fearful eyes.
Zhu Zilong (half-dragon man), black and white two tigers (holy beast?) )
The family property is thick, and he manages hundreds of salt men who can fight and fight, and he has the right to train the militia. The relationship with the government is very iron, I have to say that Zhu Zilong didn't even say anything, just stood there. The effect of this outfit ratio is absolutely first-class!
Looking at these people in front of him, Zhu Zilong sighed after a long time.
The displaced people are really enough to beg for food, more like they are begging for food than the Western refugees over there in the 21st century.
As more and more such people will join their side in the future, is this considered to be a beggar gang leader in advance?
It's okay, create your own set of eighteen palms to play!
While waiting, Liu, Tao and other women finally struggled to bring out a large pot each, and there were more than a dozen pots carried by Zhuang people behind. The pot was steaming, and the fragrance of rice porridge wafted over from afar.
Smelling the fragrance, there was a commotion among the homeless people, all of whom craned their necks vigorously to look that way. The children in the team, in particular, were snorting vigorously.
Zhu Zilong changed his expressionless face and greeted him affectionately: "Drink porridge, everyone will bring the dishes and chopsticks to drink porridge." ”
For a while, the displaced people found broken dishes and chopsticks in their luggage. It's just that Zhu Zilong, Yan Hanzi and others are guarding here, and they don't dare to crowd and fight.
Hearing the call, they came up one by one with bowls and lined up to receive porridge, and those in the back of the queue only kept probing their brains, waiting very anxiously. But I didn't dare to cut in line!
Yanhan squad leader Wu Xiaoqiang (Ma Xiaosan, Li Zilong, Wang Binghe, Niu Dashun, Liu Yishen. lined up, personally gave porridge to these people, and shouted: "Everyone drink porridge, don't forget the kindness of Lord Zhu (master)." ”
Everyone immediately agreed to join in their mouths, and then they looked for a place to devour them. The porridge in this bowl is sweet and thick, it is pure rice porridge, and there is absolutely no added wild vegetable bark or anything like that.
(The Zhu family's conscience porridge must be a high-quality product, not adulterated!) )
The homeless people have lived with bran for a long time, and many people are in tears when they drink such good rice porridge. When he looked at Zhu Zilong's gaze again, his eyes were full of gratitude!
At this time, Zhu Zilong always maintained the standard people-friendly smile that showed eight teeth, and his facial muscles were almost stiff with laughter, and he was very satisfied with the picture in front of him.
(This picture reminds me that when the author used to be a waiter, his facial muscles smiled until he cramped every day, what a cheat!) )
After drinking the porridge, you can queue up again until these people have basically drunk several bowls each.
The mental head has recovered a lot!
Zhu Zilong secretly massaged his facial muscles with his hands, and then kicked away the two pit tigers who were playing on him, and gestured to Ma Xiaosan with his eyes.
The latter understood and shouted loudly to everyone: "Lord Zhu is about to start speaking, everyone is quiet." ”
The next minute, Zhu Zilong walked up to those people and looked at these people, (feeling a little nervous).
In other words, as a modern person, it is normal to be somewhat nervous when you suddenly stand in front of hundreds of strangers and speak.
After a while, Zhu Zilong opened his mouth and said loudly: "Big guy, I will be here in Tuntian in the future, and I, Zhu Zilong, will say a word here, and I will be my own family in the future." Whether it is a good citizen in the future, or the family members of military families, and displaced people. As long as you are pragmatic, the officials will treat you equally, and will never treat you badly. ”
However, there was no speech in the bottom half of the ring, and many people listened numbly.
This is too faceless, right?
It seems that just giving food is not much shock and convincing. As soon as Zhu Zilong waved his hand, dozens of family members drove over with more than 100 cows.
Zhu Zilong said loudly again: "In the future, I will reclaim wasteland here, and everyone will share dozens of acres of land for rent or reward afterwards." There are also things such as cattle and seeds that can be rented for free, and there is no need to worry about seeds. Just let it go, and the fields that will be reclaimed in the future will never be disturbed by anyone, and everyone can just plant with peace of mind. ”
As soon as Zhu Zilong's words came out, there was a commotion among the people below, obviously this time the guarantee was still convincing to these people. There are also things such as cultivating cattle and seeds, which also have a strong attraction for them. They don't seem to have to worry about water conservancy, which is a great thing!
Finally, one of the displaced people asked, "I don't know how much grain the little ones will have to pay in the future, but is it that the first three years are rent-free, and the future will be set at 30% rent?" Will the little ones have to pay for the rent of ploughing cattle and planting seeds with grain in the future? ”
If you are willing to speak, it is easy to say, Zhu Zilong laughed loudly and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, now everyone is working together to reclaim the land." Considering that everyone's rations are not much, I will pay for the daily work and food in the future. ”
"In the future, when the rice and wheat are ripe, I will exempt everyone from tax for the first three years. But the personal rent is only counted as one percent! From the fourth year onwards, one bucket of grain was levied per mu of tuntian to pay for the cattle and other silver that had been borrowed before. In the future, two buckets of grain will be levied per mu of tuntian, and it will always be a routine thereafter, and there will be no more additional sends. Words are definitely counted! ”
After listening to Zhu Zilong's words, and thinking about it, he also has the reputation of a kind-hearted miracle doctor, and everyone looks at each other, and everyone is moved.
After two or three years, the two buckets of grain per mu will be completely affordable for each person!
