The next day, as soon as the sky was white, Yang Ming summoned everyone to the courtyard.

"Villagers, we have lost our homes, lost our relatives, we have been displaced all the way here, we have gone through countless hardships, the good thing is that from now on, we are finally going to start building a new home, and today is the first day of our construction of a new home, are you happy or not!"

"Happy!" Below, everyone shouted.

"Now, the first thing we do to build our new home is to choose a name, some of us are from Hanzhong, some are from Huguang, and some are Sichuan natives, but we all have a common identity, that is, Han people, descendants of Yan and Huang, so I decided to name our new home Hanjia Village, what do you think?"

Although the villagers, including Dr. Lan, were accustomed to following Yang Ming's arrangement, Yang Ming was still willing to announce to them through some gatherings, so as to gradually cultivate their interest in participating in politics and management, after all, they were the foundation of social reform.

No one has any objection to the new homeland being named Hanjia Village, maybe they have not learned to oppose it, but they know that from now on, they will no longer be homeless, but have their own homeland and their own place to thrive.

And this place is called Hanjia Village.

However, when the villagers were immersed in the dream of their new home, Yang Ming poured cold water on them again.

Yang Ming told them that whether it was the former Hanzhong or the current Kuizhou Mansion, they would encounter thieves and bandits, and they could only stop going into exile if they stood up to protect their homeland.

In fact, there is no need for Yang Ming to remind them that the villagers who have experienced the disaster of war and bandits know the importance of protecting their homes, and Yang Ming only needs to tell them what to do and what to do to keep their homes.

Under Yang Ming's arrangement, the villagers began to build new homes one after another.

The first is to set the boundaries of the village, which is good to decide, with three mountain passes as the boundary, there are a lot of ready-made fertile fields in the three mountain passes, and some undulating hills can also be reclaimed countless fertile fields, but Yang Ming did not first measure the acres of fields, but first took out the drawings he designed and ordered the young adults of the first team, the second team, and the third team to build the walled gate according to the drawings.

"As a soldier, the first thing that comes to mind when establishing a base area is not to develop production but to establish basic defense measures, you know, these three mountain passes are the three passes to defend against foreign enemies, and they must be built like iron buckets," Yang Ming explained to them how to build a city on the mountain while educating these young and middle-aged people.

Now it's too late to quarry and burn bricks, so you can only use wood and bamboo to build it first, but Yang Ming believes that even the wooden gate is stronger than nothing, as long as there are no cannons and large trebuchets, for the attack of ordinary thieves and officers and soldiers, the wooden gate can withstand a while, except for fire attacks.

After instructing how to build the wooden gate according to the drawings, Yang Ming took Dr. Lan, Zhang Yuanwai and the fourth team who had just made up for the sleep to measure the acres.

This is the most concerned thing for the villagers, and many have begun to discuss how many acres of land there will be and how much their families can share.

To their delight, Yang Ming had promised that after settling in the new place, their Yang family would no longer occupy all the fertile land, but would distribute it to everyone, and divide it according to the number of people in the household and the level of barren and fertile fields.

And considering that the Yang family is the largest household registration and will be unfair to other villagers, Yang Ming decided to free some generations of tenants who belonged to the slaves of the Yang family and became independent households.

Since then, there are only two people in the Yang family, he and Yun Die, not only that, but Yang Ming also decided that he and Yun Die will not be counted as the assigned objects.

Yang Ming only needs to receive a fixed amount of food every year, one is needed to raise military equipment and war, and the other is to manage the collective affairs of the village.

However, the grain tax collected by Yang Ming was much lower than the harsh taxes of the imperial court, and not only that, but Yang Ming also promised to collect only half of it in the first three years.

Of course, the Yang family is not nothing, in the "Regulations on the Distribution of Resources in Hanjia Village" stamped with 150 red fingerprints, it is stipulated that every qiē mineral resource in Hanjia Village is owned by the Yang family, and no one is allowed to mine it without the approval of the Yang family!

"Young master, now the statistics are out, Hanjia Village now has a total of 357 acres of paddy fields, 162 acres of dry fields, 216 acres of terraced fields on the mountain, 84 acres of sandy land, and 57 acres of dry land", Yun Die took several hours to count, and he was already sweating profusely.

"It's hard work", Yang Ming wiped the beads of sweat for her when he saw this, and said, "You go back and rest first." ”

Yun Die hurriedly agreed. Yang Ming held up the Analects and shouted, "Fellow villagers, now we can divide the land!" ”

"The field is divided!"

Land was undoubtedly the most important wealth for the ancients, whether they were officials, merchants, farmers or even rebels, in order to own land or own more land.

At the mention of the division of fields, everyone was very excited, and they had already roughly estimated that everyone could get at least four or five acres of land.

"Go and gather each household, let them send a representative each, and put all the stakes on the ox cart and bring them to me, and we will nail one pile for each household," Yang Ming said.

"The forty-two women we rescued yesterday, they are all counted according to independent household registration, considering that they are all women and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, we will give them a piece of land in the east, each of them will be divided into two acres of paddy fields, two acres of dry land, and half of sandy land, although the quantity is small but the quality is good, it is also fair, what do you think?"

"What's wrong with Childe's arrangement, it's just that some of them don't want to plant, wouldn't it be a waste if they were wasted?" The villager said.

"They don't want to plant and can rent it to you, you think about the harvest of the field, even if you pay two rents, you will have a lot left," Yang Ming said, and some villagers with rich labor force secretly thought: "I will talk to those girls about renting when I go back later." ”

"Aunt Zhao, there are three people in your family, considering that you are over sixty years old, so I will give you ten acres of paddy fields at the east entrance of the village, as well as six acres of terraced fields, and because your eldest son broke his leg when he grabbed grain last time, I will compensate you for an additional acre of dry land, plus a total of half an acre of land, but you are the only one in your family who can go to the ground, can you plant it?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.

"This hard-working son is worried, I can't finish planting and leave it to my grandson", Aunt Zhao said and hurriedly hugged the stake with her son's name written on it, afraid that someone would pull it out.

"Brother Luo, this is your family's twenty-three acres of land, look at it, there is still an uneven distribution."

"Uncle Zhang, this is your five acres of land."

……

Yang Ming and the others worked hard for two days to finish dividing the fields. After the distribution, some of the villagers' women and children could not wait to go to their respective fields to pull weeds and irrigate water.

Because they were anxious to go back to ploughing the fields, the young and middle-aged people of the fourth team worked overtime for three days to complete the construction of the wooden gates of the three mountain passes, and then spent another two days to build the retaining walls along the mountains and rivers.

But when they came to their fields, they found that there were neither enough ploughing oxen nor enough ploughshares, not even hoes to loosen the soil. There are only ten hoes and five plowshares in the whole village, and seven animals, which is very insufficient for cultivating the fields.

According to Yang Ming's instructions, Liu Blacksmith had already built a zigzag-shaped iron-making furnace, and when Yang Ming saw this, he gritted his teeth and ordered people to return to the furnace and melt all the more than 20 waist knives and more than 20 spears that he had finally obtained, and make plowshares and other agricultural tools. Only sixteen spears and four waist knives were left to equip a team.

This made Liu Hei and the others very puzzled, and asked Yang Gongzi didn't say that in the current situation, the military should be put first, and how to turn weapons into farm tools.

Yang Ming's answer was that the military should also be built on production, and there would be no development of the military without sufficient production development.
