Chapter 254: The Merchant's Counterattack
In the future, all the land and property of the garrison will be the common property of the garrison, not private, and the ten acres of land obtained by the military household only have the right to cultivate, not the right to buy and sell, and after the death of the military household, if there are no children and no property, they can continue to cultivate, and if they have no children or the children already have the responsibility of the field, they will take it back and distribute it to other landless military households.
All the output of the responsible field belongs to the military household himself, and the military household only needs to pay a tax of thirty taxes, and the remaining one qiē is the same as that of the civilian household.
Thirdly, officers of more than 100 households, this officer is giving you a grace, and each of you will be given twenty acres of wasteland by the sea, and each rank will be added twenty acres.
Don't underestimate the wasteland by the sea, the official has already practiced in his hometown, if you use the seeds of the official, the yield per mu is higher than that of the fertile land around Yangzhou, and each mu can easily reach five or six hundred catties. ”
Yang Tingjian finished speaking, but there was silence below, these big bosses are not stupid, they weighed the pros and cons in their hearts, and a little bit of everyone came to the answer, the conditions given by Yang Tingjian are much better than the original, even if the commander of Wei makes Chen Zheng, he will not suffer.
Chen Zheng now has more than 500 acres of fields obtained by various methods, and the yield per mu is about 200, and the planting of two seasons a year is more than 400 catties, which is only one-third of the yield compared with Yang Tingjian's good seeds, so Chen Zheng's field is equivalent to 15 acres of good seed land.
If Yang Tingjian's method is used to divide the responsible fields, Chen Zheng's family has more than 20 people, and their family can be divided into more than 200 acres of land, and in addition, he will have to add more than 100 acres of land for his position on the seaside.
Another advantage is that Chen Zheng, the commander, made the previous Yu Lu very little, and many times he did not receive it, and after counting the miscellaneous things, his commander made the annual salary and silver only more than 20 years old. Of course, the ink-hungry don't count.
If according to the military salary calculation of the Tiger Ben Army, Chen Zheng's command is equivalent to a brigade commander, and the military salary is almost three hundred and sixty taels per year, even if Chen Zheng is trying to deduct the military salary, there is not so much!
Soon, the officers of these guards understood Yang Tingjian's good intentions. They all kowtowed like garlic and said that they would immediately follow Yang Tingjian's requirements.
Yang Tingjian's characteristics are, "It's better not to use knives and guns internally, and to use interests as a guide, this is the right way, killing can't solve internal problems, and raising a butcher's knife against his comrades without distinction is a shameful and ignorant expression." ”
The next thing was easy to do, and Yang Tingjian went to see the real life of some military households. Poverty is certain, although they are poorly clothed, but they still have a stutter to eat, Yang Tingjian was leaving, he told Chen Zheng that these military households must pay attention to personal hygiene. Although the tons of drugs that Yang Tingjian poured from modern times have been sold through various channels, these drugs are not a panacea.
Yang Tingjian, who returned to Yangzhou, immediately issued his own order on the reform of the guard. Four thousand tiger soldiers and some clerks rushed to the four guards with the arrears of this half year. The previous arrears must have been paid according to the previous standards, and these arrears were not drifted away and deducted. Of course, these people who are in arrears. They are all members of the Tiger Army, and at the same time, there are also overt and covert supervision by the Military Judge Advocate Office and the Intelligence Department, who dares to stretch out their hands!
The four guards in Yangzhou began to reform without any resistance, and those officers not only took the examination themselves, but also brought their own children to take the examination. Of course, there were also some children of civilian households who came to take the exam, but Yang Tingjian was ruthless this time, and admitted more than 500 people in one go, including 200 children of military households and 200 children of civilian households. There were more than 100 officers in the original guard.
Why did Yang Tingjian's reform of the health center go so smoothly? Because Yang Tingjian's reform was not a simple "fight against local tyrants and divide the land", but a win-win measure of mutual benefit, those guards who were divided into fields got more harvest than the previous fields.
The world is bustling, all for profit, who doesn't like to do good things! One qiē is all because of interests. But in the entire Yangzhou Mansion, Yang Tingjian didn't dare to do this, Yang Tingjian couldn't give so much wasteland to those Yangzhou people, and the entire Yangzhou Mansion still needed a large number of people to work in the factory!
Because of the early industrial revolution, Britain did not have enough people to enter the factory, so it engaged in a very famous "sheep eat man" movement, that is, the enclosure movement, to drive farmers from the land into the factory, when the Ming Dynasty will not have this shortage of manpower.
In the end, Yang Tingjian spent a lot of money to fish out dozens of pirate death row prisoners from the prison cells of the Criminal Department in Nanjing.
Yang Tingjian had just arranged some important things here, but Yangzhou City suddenly surged, and the merchants of Yangzhou City suddenly went on strike, and this time the strike came suddenly, which surprised everyone, and even the Intelligence Department did not detect the signs.
A business strike is a very troublesome thing, especially in a metropolis like Yangzhou, where countless businessmen will not be able to trade, and even the lives of more than a million citizens will be in difficulty.
Yang Tingjian, who was originally printing a sample of the textbook, was interrupted by Wan Shun's urgent sound, and only a few people could come in this printing room:
"My lord, something is wrong, on the way to the yamen just now, all the shops in Yangzhou City were closed, countless people were noisy in the streets, and hundreds of scholars were blocking in front of the yamen......
This situation came suddenly, but Yang Tingjian had already expected that it would be impossible for the gentry to pay taxes honestly and do something, it was too normal, and this method of striking the market was not very intense, and it did not touch Yang Tingjian's bottom line, so Yang Tingjian did not plan to open the killing ring.
"Don't panic...... This strike was expected by the authorities, but you should be more extensive in gathering intelligence in the future, and you should not be unaware of such an unnoticed thing today. ”
"Guilty of despicable duties, please punish ......"
Wan Shun's cold sweat suddenly came down, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to ask for guilt, Yang Tingjian just knocked Wan Shun down, and had no intention of punishing.
"Get up! This official will forgive you for your dereliction of duty this time, and I will not make an example. ”
"Lord Xie Longen, it is difficult to report to the adults in case of despicable ......
"Don't kowtow, go and arrest the top ten and no, the top twenty most influential businessmen in Yangzhou Mansion one by one."
"Yes, my lord...... Are there any high-ranking officials in the imperial court also arrested? For example, the families of Qian Xiangkun and Wu Zongda, they have always suspected that the two of them are secretly playing ghosts. ”
"What do you say? ......" (To be continued......)
