Chapter 944: Immigrants, Happy Life!
There is no garbage in this world, and even if there is, it is only temporary, misplaced!
In late Ming China, when disasters and famines were frequent during the Xiaoice period, there were Houjin outside, Li Zicheng and others inside, and there were many incompetent officials in the court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info homeless can only starve and freeze to death, or kill each other meaninglessly.
However, now Zhu Zilong has eliminated most of the hidden dangers.
For him, as long as there is a population, it is equal to everything.
When they were in the Central Plains, most of the displaced people's lives were as low as pigs and dogs, and the Ming court and the gentry and landlords were short-sighted, and they all wished that they would starve to death soon.
So much so that when Zhu Zilong marked the price clearly, bought the displaced people to Shandong, and then shipped them away.
The local government fully cooperates!
However, if the pace of immigration continues in this way, I am afraid that it will not take more than half a year until the autumn harvest of the next year. The landlords of the Ming Dynasty will find that they have land and can't find many people to help them plant.
If no one farms, the rent will not be collected. Hehe!
When they cry in the future, they will definitely regret it.
Soon!
After inspecting the major refugee camps, Zhu Zilong issued a new order: "...... Each newcomer is allocated 100 to 150 mu of land, depending on the situation, and at the same time, in the form of interest-free loans, the People's Bank of Shandong provides them with farm tools, ploughing cattle, and rations for the initial stage of reclamation. Of course, it can also be obtained by relying on military service, and the preferential treatment of military dependents, these allotted lands can belong to them forever. At the same time, for the first five years of land reclamation, new immigrants were exempted from all agricultural and poll taxes. ”
Exempt from agricultural taxes, this TM is Zhu Zilong, who has made a super move.
For a time, countless refugees felt unbelievable!
However, I feel that I really have nothing to deceive people, after all, they are already poor.
So, one by one, I doubted, looked forward to, and excited, and set foot on a new land.
Agricultural tax is a kind of tax levied by the state on all units and individuals engaged in agricultural production and with agricultural income, commonly known as "public grain". It is a kind of state-based tax that has existed in all dynasties and Chinese history!
According to historical records, the agricultural tax began in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu State of the "initial tax per mu", and formed a system in the early Han Dynasty. This ancient tax has a history of 2,600 years.
Historically, the "Imperial Grain and National Tax" has always affected the rise and fall of China. Although there have been reforms such as the "Two Taxation Law", "One Whip Law", and "Apportionment into Mu" in Chinese history,
However, due to the corruption of the bureaucracy, the burden was eventually passed on to the peasants.
Even the "rule of Wenjing", "the rule of Zhenguan", and "the prosperity of Kangqian", which have been mentioned many times, are only short-lived and light-hearted, and the feudal rulers of successive dynasties have never been able to jump out of the "Huang Zongxi's law" in which the burden on the peasants has been reduced and heavier.
Only in the 21st century of the new China!
The Agricultural Tax Ordinance shall be repealed with effect from 1 January 2006. This means the end of this traditional tax, which has been practiced in our country for 2,000 years.
This is what the power of science and the modernization of New China are capable of doing.
Even if Zhu Zilong is hanging, he can only exempt new immigrants from taxes for the first five years, and if you let him be exempted, he will not be able to bear it.
This is determined by the strength of the country, not by his own strength.
……
At this time, the three eastern provinces are in the wasteland area!
Batch after batch of immigrants and returnees, when the materials in the early stage were not mature, completely relied on the support of modern materials from Shandong and Zhu Zilong. Painting style, to be honest.
Considering the future 21st century, the convenience of transportation, the great integration and development of the world economy.
No, the big guys eat corn and salted fish from modern North America, wear cotton cloth from South America, and light cheap candles and diesel lamps from Vietnam and Afghanistan. Holding a sickle and utensils forged from Australian iron ore, he led the African cattle to plough the land and sow seeds from New China.
Its mix and match style is really full of the style of world empires, which makes people feel speechless.
Embarrassment!
Of course, there are people in this world who like farming, but there must be people who don't like farming.
Even if there are not many such people, only 1%, but the base is large, and naturally there are more people.
No, in order to cope with this kind of manpower, and indeed in emerging cities, migrant workers are also needed. As a result, in one resettlement point after another, under Zhu Zilong's intentional arrangement, some special part-time work sites also appeared.
This is not, on the banks of the Da Ling River.
Li Shuangquan, a displaced worker from Jiangxi Province, was sitting on a bench under a large pergola with his co-workers, listening to the storyteller's commentary, while waiting for work.
The old storyteller said on the stage with his eyebrows fluttering, spitting and gesturing from time to time, attracting the surrounding spectators from time to time, erupting into one or two cheers, and the atmosphere was excellent.
Li Shuangquan is from Jiangxi, not a native of the three eastern provinces.
For example, in today's disaster era, the heroes of various mountains in Jiangxi first beat away the government, and then began to fight endlessly with each other. And the people everywhere naturally suffered from it.
The pitiful little wealth and surplus grain were plundered and slaughtered by the bandits over and over again, and all the fields were deserted......
Like most people, Li Shuangquan's family embarked on the road of family migration because they could not bear the scourge of war. Along the way, the second elder died of illness and starvation, if he hadn't bumped into Zhu Zilong's containment team on the way, maybe the last bit of the Li family's bloodline, wife and children would have been gone!
For the current life, Li Shuangquan feels very satisfied and happy.
Because, in the various part-time jobs under the hands of the Duke of the Four Seas, it seems that the work is always unfinished. Supporting a family with a wife and children is not a problem at all!
Over the past year, he has been involved in the construction of one bridge after another and piers, and the paving of one wide road after another. Grandpa Guo (Zhu Zilong) not only pays wages, but also includes two meals a day, and in his heart he is simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva.
In addition to the short-term laborers who are paid on a daily basis, there is also a type of "worker" who has signed a long-term contract, and the treatment is much better than that of these short-term workers. However, I heard that it will take two years to test, and after living here for three years, I will try my work ability and loyalty, and sign a contract.
Becoming a regular employee is what Li Shuangquan and many temporary workers are looking forward to every day and the goal they are working hard for.
When it comes to wages, Li Shuangquan and others are also satisfied.
Except in the beginning, they didn't know. When it was time to pay wages, I found that instead of silver and copper coins, a kind of thing called Shandong grain stamps was issued. There is a kind of trepidation. Now I'm completely used to it!
Regarding, the People's Bank of Shandong and the grandfather of the Four Seas, the wages are not silver, but the Shandong grain stamps. It is said that in the future, it may be changed to something called Shandong RMB!
Whether it's Shandong grain stamps or Shandong RMB, they all feel that this is a good thing!
The immigrants are all in each city, and now all the shops are opened by Grandpa Guo and Shandong people. Don't collect money, only Shandong grain stamps.
Inside, you can sell sweets, pastries, salt, cigarettes, shochu, white paper, steel needles, ironware, furniture, and many other strange things. Of course, there will be food and meat as well, literally everything you need, and at a cheap price!
Even if one person works, it is enough to support a family, wife and children. This kind of day, even a few decades ago, I can't think of it!
