Chapter 172: Liu Defu Comes to Vote
People are profit-seeking, and many people are reluctant to do things without profit. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info so if you want to improve the enthusiasm of everyone, you have to start from the interests.
Tens of thousands of acres of fields can be reclaimed this time, but with so many fields, enough people have to be found to plant them, and Ren Siqi has no time to recruit farmers, so he decided to give the fields to his subordinates.
The people take food as the sky, and the country is based on agriculture. The idea of the Ming people's love for the land is deep-rooted, and after the retirement of the official, they will buy a lot of fields and return to the mountains and forests. Businessmen will also buy a lot of land after making a lot of money. In the eyes of the Ming people, the field is their foundation, although the output of the field is often not comparable to other livelihoods.
After giving the reclaimed land to their subordinates, they will naturally take over their families to cultivate, and Ren Siqi no longer has to worry about their enthusiasm for work, and only needs to collect the field tax according to the proportion.
has his own land in Daishan, and he invisibly ties these people to the Daishan Inspection Division, and no longer has to worry about their loyalty and other issues. The more Ren Siqi thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good, and this method could quickly enhance the strength of the Daishan Inspection Division in a short period of time.
"60 acres of land will be awarded to the level of the naval army, 50 acres of land will be awarded to the supervisor level, 40 acres of land will be awarded to the deputy supervisor, and 30 acres of land will be awarded to ordinary soldiers.
The main level of the infantry army is awarded 60 acres of land with the same management belt, the general flag level of the infantry army is awarded 50 acres of land by the supervisor, the small flag level of the infantry army is awarded 40 acres of land by the deputy supervisor, and the infantry soldiers are awarded 30 acres of land.
All the land granted by the officers and men will be issued with the title deeds covered by the inspection department, and they are not allowed to buy or sell privately. Every year, the field tax shall be paid to the inspection department at a rate of 28 for the purpose of raising soldiers.
The land is the permanent property of the officer and soldier, and if he dies in battle, it will be inherited by his direct descendants.
If there is a violation of military law, those who flee from the battle and defect will have their fields taken back and their families will be expelled. ”
After careful consideration, Ren Siqi put his ideas into words and read them out in public. It immediately caused a sensation among the crowd.
All the officers and men of the Daishan Inspection Department are from poor backgrounds, farmers who have lost their land, and poor fishermen. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, they have a natural passion for the land, and it is the greatest wish of the vast majority of people to have their own land. Now that Ren Siqi has given them the fields that are about to be reclaimed, how can he not make them excited.
"I can get forty acres of land this time, the grain harvested in a year is enough for the family to eat, I have to ask the inspector for a leave, bring my family to Daishan, there is an output of forty acres of land, I can earn at least fifty or sixty taels of silver every year, and the whole family can live comfortably here." A crew member at the rank of deputy director.
"I really envy you, you have a family. My whole family was killed by the Spaniards in Luzon. Another Han Chinese from Luzon sighed.
"Brother, don't be sad, there is a cousin who is twenty-eight years old, if you don't dislike it, we can get married, so you can have a family."
"Are you telling the truth? Goye, uncle, you will be my brother in the future! ”
Li Xingjiu found Ren Siqi and talked for a long time. Ask Ren Siqi for permission to take over all his family members in Pingdao.
"Yes, but I'll have to wait until next summer, when the southeast monsoon rises, and I'll send you a boat to pick up all the people in Hirashima. There are many habitable islands in this Zhoushan archipelago, and I will give you one at that time. Ren Siqi agreed.
The Chinese New Year was getting closer and closer, and Ren Siqi didn't want to make it too impersonal, so he ordered the dam project to be stopped, leaving dozens of soldiers on Daishan Island, as well as some homeless crew members, and the others were sent home for the New Year.
In two days, nearly half of the 500 or so people left. The rest were homeless, including Ming immigrants recruited from Japan, Japanese samurai, and Han Luzon people such as Jin Yufei and Cao Changjiang, as well as some homeless people.
Officers and soldiers of the generation such as Mao 18 and others in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have chosen to go home, and they will return after the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Song Liben returned on a three-masted sailboat, and in addition to Xiaoshi Ren Jun and Chen Mingyang, Liu Defu was on the boat.
Liu Defu should share the dividends Ren Siqi has asked Song Liben to send it to him, but he didn't expect him to come to Daishan Island in person.
"This is the New Year, why did you come here in person, Brother Liu." Ren Siqi asked in surprise.
"What, aren't you welcome?" Liu Defu smiled.
"Welcome!" Ren Siqi and Liu Defu smiled at each other.
"I didn't expect you, brother, to start from scratch, lead the fleet to a foreign land, and then become a patrol inspector and create such a big foundation." After sitting down in the living room, drinking the tea sent by Amakusa Kaede, Liu Defu sighed with emotion.
"It's just a small inspection from the ninth grade, why should Brother Liu take it seriously." Ren Siqi said humbly.
"Although the inspection officer of the Daishan Inspection Department is small, the power is heavy," Liu Defu shook his head and said: "Daishan Island is located outside Hangzhou Bay, connecting eastern Zhejiang in the south, and the Songjiang River in the north can go straight to the mouth of the Yangtze River. You are a patrol, and your strength is getting stronger and stronger, and you can control the sea trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang with Daishan Island. ”
"Brother Liu said a little too much, there is General Huang Shen in Zhoushan, Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army in Dinghai, and Shen Tingyang in Chongming Island, where is there a place where I speak from the Jiupin inspection on the sea surface in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Ren Siqi said with a smile.
"Huang Binqing's eyes are narrow, Wang Zhiren's temperament is narrow, these two people are not worried. Shen Tingyang is far away in Chongming, and the whip is beyond his reach, this sea in eastern Zhejiang will definitely be your world one day. Liu Defu said solemnly.
Ren Siqi's face suddenly became serious: "Brother Liu said cautiously, whether it is Daishan or Eastern Zhejiang, it is the land of the Great Tomorrow!" ”
"Brother, I lost my words, brother, don't blame." Liu Defu smiled apologetically: "But what I said just now was from the bottom of my heart." Although our brothers have been friends for a short time, we have also shared hardships, which can be regarded as heart-to-heart, right? ”
Ren Siqi nodded yes.
"In that case, brother, I have something to say. My brother and I have been in business for many years, and although I have not achieved much, I have some knowledge. Nowadays, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, the society is unstable, there are rogues attacking the city and plundering the Central Plains, and there are Tartars repeatedly raiding the border and plundering Gyeonggi, and the Ming Dynasty has reached the season of storms and storms. The so-called heroes come out of troubled times, brother, you have great ambitions, and you can make a lot of achievements in this troubled times. ”
Ren Siqi's face turned pale when he heard this, he didn't expect this Liu Defu to be so bold, didn't these words say that he was a chaotic minister and thief? Subconsciously touched the short gun at his waist.
"Brother, don't deny it, when I came, I learned from your Song scribe that Daishan implements the system of granting fields, you must know that all fields are owned by the great emperor, how can you give them privately? Moreover, the land grant system you adopted is similar to the government military system at the time of the Tang Dynasty, so I said brother, you have great ambitions. ”
"In that case, why didn't Brother Liu report to the government?" Ren Siqi touched the handle of the gun and sneered.
"What is the right thing to do with me? In fact, our brothers have long been tied together, and since we cooperated, I can no longer get out of each other as brothers. Liu Defu smiled bitterly.
Ren Siqi shook his head, but he didn't believe it. Since Liu Defu dares to come here, he must have a plan, just listen to what he has to say.
"As a brother, I am also a scholar, and I have also made a grand wish to govern the country and level the world, but my career is not smooth, so I can only be reduced to the ranks of businessmen. But if you can't stretch your life's ambition, what's the use of making more money? Brother, if you don't dislike it, brother, I am willing to help you, and together with the two of us, we will create a vigorous career! Liu Defu said angrily.
Ren Siqi looked at Liu Defu quietly, and saw that Liu Defu looked calm, but there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes, this is an ambitious person, Ren Siqi said secretly.
It's not terrible to be ambitious, as long as your strength is big enough, you can naturally suppress it. Ren Siqi now has a slight official position, and there are only reckless people such as Mao Eighteen under his command, and there is no scribe who can give advice, Liu Defu has a reputation for showing talent, being a scholar, and has been in the business for many years, and has a wide range of contacts, if he comes to vote, it will be of great significance to Ren Siqi!
"If Brother Liu is willing to come, I will be honored to be a little brother!" Ren Siqi stood up and stretched out his hand.
Liu Defu did not shake hands with Ren Siqi, but slapped the dust on his body and fell to the ground.
"Subordinate Participation Adults!" This worship means that Liu Defu will be dominated by Ren Siqi in the future, and the master-slave relationship has been set. (To be continued.) )
