In the winter of November, the weather was already cold, and there was a light snow a few days ago, the snow soaked in the ground, and the ground was as hard as masonry.

However, after nearly two months of hard work, Wenyuan took these more than 3,000 people to open a total of 120,000 acres of fertile land, and the next step is naturally to divide the fields.

The division of land is definitely a major event, which directly determines the stability of the people's hearts under Wen Yuan's rule, Wen Yuan thought about it again and again, and decided not to adopt the method of Cao Cao's field division and public ownership of land in the future, but to completely distribute the fields to the soldiers of the sergeants for cultivation, and completely mobilize the enthusiasm of the peasant soldiers under his command!

Cao Cao's tuntian system, Cao Wei tuntian has two kinds: Mintun and Juntun. Mintun every 50 people for 1 tun, Tun Sima, which is placed on the Diannong Captain, Diannong School Captain, Diannong Zhonglang General, not affiliated with the county. The harvest is divided with the state: those who use official cattle, official 6 people 4; Those who use private cattle are divided equally between the government and the people. Tuntian peasants are not allowed to leave Tuntian casually. The army is based on soldiers, 60 people are 1 battalion, and they are guarding the field on the other hand. Cao Wei's tuntian played an important role in the resettlement of displaced people, the reclamation of wasteland, and the restoration of agricultural production, creating material conditions for Cao Cao to unify the north.

However, although Cao Cao's tuntian system made an important contribution to the resettlement of displaced people and the accumulation of people's power, in Wenyuan's view, it was still too exploitative, and the tuntian peasants were bound to the land and their identities were not free, and the tuntian soldiers were even more difficult. In the later period of Cao Wei, the exploitation of Tuntian became increasingly serious, and the distribution ratio reached the level of 8 officials and 2 people, which led to the rebellion and flight of a large number of Tuntian soldiers and civilians, and led to the gradual destruction of the Tuntian system.

To tell the truth, since he became the county magistrate of Quyang, Wen Yuan's sympathy has been a little overflowing, originally he was never the kind of nosy person, but when he saw the dilapidated situation of Quyang, the people in ragged clothes and yellow muscles on the street, I am afraid that no one will be happy.

Although he has some soldiers and some power now, Wen Yuan does not want to be Gongsun Zan who will be trapped in Yijing in the future, he wants to live a nourishing life, and the people's will is naturally a point that must be grasped.

Therefore, Wen Yuan, who is a little overflowing with compassion, deeply feels the difficulty of surviving in this world, although he is not able to let more people live more stable for the time being, but at least in this Quyang place, Wen Yuan feels that he must show something.

Therefore, Wenyuan decided that all the reclaimed wasteland should be used as private land!

There are many advantages of dividing private land, first of all, because it is private land, there is no need to set up officials to supervise, saving a lot of resources, and, because it is their own land, more work and more rewards, each family must have worked hard, compared to the enthusiasm of serving the public land, the most important thing is that in this era, land is the lifeblood of the people, with such a piece of land, all the people who are opposed to Wen Yuan, have not become the soldiers under Wen Yuan's command to snatch their jobs? These soldiers are not desperate and want to follow themselves?

Moreover, it is said that it is private land, but in fact it is not his own land, and he decided not to hand over these private fields to the state and county, and all of them are deposited in his own small treasury, and the military households under his command are all his own tenants, and he can not only get a large amount of food, but also get peace in the life of the military households under his rule.

Dividing the field, this is the most important part of Wenyuan's entire military and political organizational structure! The huge impact of such a big killing weapon is definitely enough to shake the whole world! Wen Yuan is looking forward to this.

However, there are also difficulties in implementing the land division system, and the biggest difficulty is that there is no money! Reclaiming wasteland, people eat horses and chew these have to use money, these months just to supply nearly 5,000 people to eat and drink has made Wenyuan anxious, to next year's spring ploughing, seeds, cattle, farm tools, it is a big expense, not to mention from spring ploughing to autumn harvest for more than half a year and there is no harvest, the farming of this group of people needs to be borne by themselves, and the money and food to be consumed are more! It's really a difficult and dangerous road to "money"! Therefore, in the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty, no force dared to be like Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan pondered for several days and was at a loss, but he was extremely reluctant to let him brutally exploit the soldiers and civilians under his rule, so he simply said with a heart: "! If there is no money, Lao Tzu will rob and rob, as long as Lao Tzu's fist is hard enough, he will not believe that he will not be able to get money and food! ”

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked! General Zhang spent a lot of manpower and financial resources, and did not leave any of the reclaimed wasteland as public land, and gave all the land to the soldiers under his command!

On the same day, nearly 3,000 people from Wenyuan's entire army gathered in the school grounds, and more than 20,000 people in Xiaquyang all put down their hands and came to watch. A school field that is not too big is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and there are black heads everywhere, rubbing shoulders one after another.

Although the weather was already very cold at this time, and there was still a thin layer of residual snow on the ground, the military households were in high spirits and were not afraid of the severe cold.

Wenyuan announced in public the specific measures to divide the fields into households,

First, from today onwards, the military household system will be implemented for all non-commissioned officers who join the Wenyuan Army, and each military household will be given a one-time grant of 50 acres of land as private property. Military households do not need to pay rent to the imperial court, but each military household must have a dingkou to join the army to fight.

Second, all the reclaimed land will be borrowed by the county government for spring ploughing in the following year, and the military household Wenyuan, who has no grain in stock, will also lend rice and grain, and the arrears will be returned or paid for redemption during the autumn harvest.

Third, in the first year of the autumn harvest, five buckets of grain were levied per mu of land to fund the military, and one bucket of grain was levied in the second year, and then it remained unchanged according to this practice.

Fourth, all military households must move their relatives to Xiaquyang within one month, and military households without relatives and dependents will not be allowed to divide their land for the time being.

The military household system, which began to rise in the Tang Dynasty, was also known as the "government military system" at that time, which was also a reform measure that Wenyuan decided to implement after thinking about it for a long time.

The conscription system and compulsory military service system implemented in the Han Dynasty were only the restoration system was not perfect, so there was the phenomenon of "fifteen military conscriptions, eighty years to return" as mentioned in the Han Yue Fu. During the Three Kingdoms period, due to frequent wars, the number of conscripts was larger, such as Cao Cao once "collected one million yellow turbans from Qingzhou, and selected 300,000 of them as Qingzhou soldiers", and Wu also forced Shanyue to go out of the mountains as soldiers, and there were more than 100,000 in the history books.

As for the military household system, that is, the military registration is separated from the civilian registration, and the families included in the military household registration have to send people to serve as soldiers for generations, while the civilian households only pay rent and transfer, and do not have to serve in the military.

The advantage of the military household system is that military households own land, do not levy taxes, only need to provide a source of soldiers, serve as soldiers in wartime, and work in agriculture in leisure time, and the army is self-sufficient, which greatly reduces the financial burden of the government and avoids the conscription system from increasing the burden on the peasants and hindering agricultural production.

However, the military household system is not without its shortcomings, one is that it is easy to be abandoned, and once the country has not been at war for many years, the military household will flee because of the enslavement of officers, the plundering of the wives and daughters of military households, and the government's miscellaneous, etc., and over time they will become old and weak and unable to fight. In the later period of the Tang Dynasty, due to the destruction of the government military system, the Tang government was a warlike soldier and could only listen to the secession of feudal towns. This was especially true in the Ming Dynasty, after the middle of the period, the guards could not fight, and had to recruit a large number of soldiers, and the Qi family army was the most famous at that time.

Then there is the long-term implementation of the military household system, the military aristocracy in charge of the military households in various places will rise, such as the Southern Dynasty Song, Qi, Liang, Chen were all established by military coups, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's grandfather was one of the twelve pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Li Mi, who participated in the Wagang Army, was also a military aristocrat of Guanlong.

Although there are shortcomings, Wen Yuan refuses to give up food because of choking, such as today's chaos, in order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers under his command, so that they can fight bravely, it is inevitable to divide the household and the field, not to mention that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this is a great move to win the hearts of the people, once it spreads, everyone knows that as long as they follow him, they will have a good life.

Moreover, what Wenyuan implemented was not to copy the original military household system, but to combine it with the recruitment system, only if the recruitment is qualified, will he become a military household, after all, the elite of the subordinates is the top priority for him.

What's more, Wen Yuan does not intend to implement the military household system for a long time, once the world is peaceful, he will still dissolve the military household.

As for the land rent per mu, considering that the cultivation technology was still quite extensive at that time, not to mention one a year, the yield per mu was only three or four hundreds, even if Wenyuan reclaimed all the land was fertile land, and there was Hutuo River water irrigation, Wenyuan conservatively estimated that the yield per mu was only six or seven hundred, removing the family of five and giving birth to a year's rations, but also to reserve seeds and pay rent, so that the family had more than 100 yuan of surplus grain in a year. In this way, even in a disaster year, the military households under his command will not go hungry.

Moreover, although the mu tax is higher than the thirty tax at the end of the Han Dynasty, the military households do not need to pay tribute other than land rent, and only serve in the military, and the burden is still lighter than that of the people.

Wen Yuan knows that the small farmer's family can have surplus food every year, and it is their biggest dream to be able to eat and clothe, and if they can live such a life, they will be willing to work with you with their lives. For the future, Wenyuan is quite looking forward to it.

Outside the school, the atmosphere was quite warm.

A family member of a military household said movingly: "General Zhang is a good person! What a savior for us poor people! My family can follow General Zhang as a soldier, and my family is glorious! ”

A crop man in his thirties said: "Yes, yes, it is profitable to be a military household under General Zhang, but I don't know when General Zhang will recruit troops again, and when the time comes, our big tiger will definitely let him go to the draft." ”

The neighbor next to the farmer said: "Brother Xu, isn't your family just a single tiger seedling, it's only sixteen this year, can you give it up?" ”

"What's not to do! You have also seen that General Zhang is really good to us poor people, and he is worth it! If my big tiger is unfortunately gone, I will be reborn with my mother-in-law! ”

…………

Every time a measure was announced, the sergeants in the audience shouted joyfully, and even the more than 20,000 people in Quyang who were watching from time to time made an uproar, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at the school grounds.

After announcing the measures, Wen Yuan ordered his subordinates to start dividing the fields. The fields are distributed by lottery, and every time a name is called, a soldier will ascend the high platform and draw a number, 50 acres per person, whether it is good or bad, it is absolutely fair and just.

Wen Yuan sat on the stage with a smile, watching the soldiers walk in front of him to draw numbers, each of them with an excited expression, carefully drawing the number, when they walked in front of Wen Yuan, one by one they were grateful to Dade and fell to the ground, and many people got a piece of land that belonged to them, and tears of excitement filled their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Wen Yuan's throat was also tight, and his eyelids were sour, this is our hard-working and simple descendants of Yan Huang! They have been working for many years in the face of the loess, what they want is so simple, as long as they can get two meals a day, as long as they are given a way to live, they will be grateful to Dade and sincerely good to you.

But in this world, these poor people suffered from the exploitation of the big landlords and the big clans, had no food and clothing, and finally became tenant farmers, working in the landlords' manors all their lives, and used as their personal subordinates in wartime, and did not even dare to die at home, buying and selling children, which was unbearable.

As the saying goes: "Life has lifelong diligence, and death has the worry of violent bones." When he was young, he was displaced from the ravines, marrying his wife and selling his children. ”

If there was a group of fat and oily families standing in front of him, Wen Yuan would definitely sharpen his knife and slaughter it together! But this group of extremely poor people stood in front of Wen Yuan, and you asked yourself, are you willing to be so cruelly exploited?

So Wen Yuan secretly decided that if he wanted to eat, he would eat a big family, and if he wanted to slaughter a family, he would slaughter the family!
