"Brother Duan, I heard that Shouchun is recruiting people to tuntian, and the county government rents out the fields and provides cattle and farm tools, as long as you pay a certain amount of rent every year, should we go and take a look?"

"Erniang, what's there to see here? It is estimated that it is another method of corrupt officials to oppress the people, don't plant land for a year, and after paying the rent, it will not be enough for you to eat! ”

"Yue Laosan, don't intervene if you don't know. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Not all officials are corrupt officials, then Liu Taishou is a good official, don't you see that he eliminated the bully Lei family as soon as he took office? Liu Taishou said on the notice that each laborer can get 30 acres of fertile land! The rent only needs to be paid half of the harvest every year, there is no other forced labor, and you don't need to worry about ploughing cattle and farm tools, can such a harvest not be enough for you to eat? Moreover, after five years of cultivation, ten acres of fertile land are considered your own, and after fifteen years, all thirty acres of fertile land will be yours, where can you find such benefits? ”

"Erniang, what you said is true?" The one who is called Brother Duan is a little tempted.

"Of course, a lot of people have signed up, and it is said that if you sign up, you will receive a bag of food. And I heard that craftsmen with craftsmanship are better treated, and Brother Duan is a master of forging, if you go to sign up, you may be able to directly get a reward of ten acres of fertile land. ”

"Is this reliable? I'm a little worried that the government will trick us into going first, and then we won't be able to honor it. Another young man next to him questioned.

"Yun Laosi, what are you talking nonsense, Liu Taishou is not such an official, don't you see that the county is measuring the fields and counting the household registration everywhere? These are for Tuntian. Hum! Don't blame me for not telling you, it is said that Liu Taishou will also recruit soldiers among the homeless people who sign up, and if he is selected, his family can pay less than 10% of the rent. Haven't you always wanted to fight on the battlefield? This is a unique opportunity to not only fulfill your wishes, but also bring benefits to your family. ”

"In this way, then I also have to sign up, with the strength of my Yun Laosan's martial arts, I can be selected anyway, maybe I can even mix up with a captain to be a captain."

"Yun Laosi, I am the third, rob my name again, be careful that I beat you! Your small body is also called Kong Wu Lili? is not thin, only a majestic figure like my Yue Laosan is the material for being a captain. Big brother, Erniang, don't talk nonsense, sign up quickly, I'm afraid there won't be a place if it's late. ”

"Let's go over first, and it's not too late to sign up after asking clearly. When the time comes, I will apply for a craftsman, the third and fourth can sign up to join the army, Erniang, if you farm, will thirty acres of land be too much? ”

"Big brother, you don't have to worry about me, Liu Taishou also takes care of women, not only can he choose farming, but also many positions such as silkworm raising, weaving, handicraft, etc."

"It seems that this Liu Taishou is quite thoughtful, let's go!"

*********

After Liu Miao issued a notice to recruit people from Tuntian, the entire Jiujiang County was boiling.

At first, Liu Miao was worried that Tuntian would not be attractive enough to the displaced people, and set the conditions very favorable, far from being comparable to those policies of Tuntian in history. However, he ignored the allure of the fields to ordinary people, and as soon as the proclamation came out, many displaced people flocked to the registration point, and even those who already had a small amount of land themselves went to sign up.

After Liu Miao got the news, he was both happy and sad. The good news is that the tuntian can be carried out smoothly, as long as it is cultivated on time, there will be a bumper harvest this autumn; The worry is that there are too many displaced people who have signed up, and there is a shortage of food, farming cattle, and farm tools.

Liu Miao had already sent Xu Da to take people to borrow money and grain from his cheap brother Langya Wang, and by the way, he bought grain, cattle, farm tools, etc. in Xuzhou, but he would not be able to come back for a while.

Liu Miao had no choice but to bring several cronies to discuss countermeasures again, but the final result was still that one word - borrowing.

The first person to borrow was the landlord of the large clan in the county. According to the seizures obtained from the Lei family, these big clans have a lot of inventory, whether it is grain, money, farming cattle, and farm tools, they will have a surplus. It's just that Liu Miao is not sure how much he can borrow, although the clan is much more honest now, he will not let Liu Miao exploit it, and Liu Miao will not use force for no reason.

The second person to borrow is the bandits. There are many bandits in Jiujiang County, many of them have set up camps, there are many thieves, and there must be a lot of money and grain stored. There are not so many scruples about borrowing from them, you can salute first and then soldiers, to put it bluntly, it is to be incorporated first, and the integration will not achieve conscription.

With these two borrowing objects, the money and grain should be able to replenish some, but even if the cattle and farm tools are borrowed and bought, it is estimated that they will not be able to raise so much. However, Liu Miao also did not need all the displaced people to cultivate the land, he also needed a large number of manpower to build water conservancy, strengthen the city wall, level the roads, etc., and more importantly, there were also systematic buildings that needed to be built immediately, such as the most urgent academies and workshops.

The resolution has been decided, and Liu Miao plans to set up two banquets first, and the object of the banquet is the "benefactor" who wants to borrow money and grain.

First feast the landlords of the big clans. All the big families in the county with a little name, Liu Miao sent invitations, there are almost hundreds of families in total, these families are very face-saving, and they are also very complete, and they are all important people in their clans who have the right to make decisions.

At the banquet, Liu Miao lowered his posture very low, and politely toasted one by one, thanking the major families for their support to the work of the county, and politely saying that they would strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the future. The people in those big clans are also exquisite, and they naturally respond happily, and they are staggered for a while, and it is a harmonious scene.

When you're full of wine and food, remove the banquet and get down to business.

As the host, Liu Miao took the lead and said: "You are all virtuous people in the county, and Miao has always had the heart to make friends, but he has not been able to make friends. I invite you here today just to meet you and communicate your feelings. Miao has just arrived, and there are many places that need to rely on your support. Miao has recently come up with several new policies to govern the people, I think you have understood, dare to ask you what your views are? ”

The people of the major clans couldn't figure out what Liu Miao meant for a while, and they all looked at each other and made eye contact.

But some people couldn't hold their breath and got up and said: "We are all law-abiding people, and we have never paid less taxes every year, and even most of the taxes paid by the county government are from me." Now that the government wants to strictly inspect the population and land of our clan, is it because he still doesn't trust us enough? ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, the faces of many people in the audience changed, and they all scolded in their hearts: Where is this stunned young man from? Did you want to make Liu Miao unable to get off the stage from the beginning?

Liu Miao also glanced at the person who spoke in surprise, and vaguely remembered that it was a young patriarch in a small county.
