Chapter 991 Develop the Great Northern Wilderness and reclaim agriculture into the Western Regions

"Longer eating? What is the bottom line, more than when you were young, you can make more military achievements and get knighthoods for a longer time? Yue Fei didn't know why, but still looked at Liu Xing blankly and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Seeing this, Liu Xing pouted again and said: "The title will be lowered from generation to generation, but the land can be inherited for at least seventy years." After 70 years, after the expiration of the lease deed, the original lessee will continue to lease those state-owned land, which means that as long as a piece of land subcontracted by the imperial court is obtained, then the family can have the right to use that land for generations. ā€

The words stopped slightly, Liu Xing stared at Yue Fei and said, "If I give you four hundred hectares of fertile land, I can let you pass it on from generation to generation." I ask you, "Do you want a knighthood or do you want the four hundred acres of fertile land?" ā€

"Naturally, I want those 400 hectares of fertile land." Yue Fei blurted out a reply without thinking.

After replying, he was still puzzled: "But what does this have to do with disarmament?" Taifu, you can't change the current system of demobilization that has been accepted by the broad masses of the people and the vast number of officers and soldiers, right? Where did I go to the Great Song Dynasty to give millions of people and no one got hundreds of acres of fertile land for their resettlement of demobilized soldiers? ā€

"There are not hundreds of hectares, but a few hectares can still be had." Seeing that he was still like this, Liu Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Pointing to the map on the wall from afar, Liu Xing glanced at Yue Fei and said with a straight face: "To develop the Great Northern Wilderness and the Bingtun Great Northern Wilderness, as long as the Great Northern Wilderness that now looks full of swamps and barren grasses is developed." Don't say a few hectares per capita, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, it will not be a problem to have tens of hectares per capita in ten years. ā€

"Do you mean to ask for fertile land from the wasteland, and turn swamps into arable land? Is this possible? This time, as soon as Liu Xing's voice fell, Wu Jue, who was sitting on the side, understood it, but showed a slightly worried look on his face.

Finally, there was a person who understood, and Yue Fei's elm head, who was bent on taking care of the affairs of the army and gradually forgetting about the difficulties of civil affairs, was completely fainted.

Hearing Wu Jue's words that seemed to understand and doubt, Liu Xing smiled indifferently: "Absolutely feasible, this is an unquestionable, and extremely feasible strategy for placing a large number of retired soldiers." ā€

At this point, he paused slightly, and then Liu Xing said the whole strategy he had in mind.

More than 9 million standing troops, and at least 2 to 3 million patrol troops. According to Liu Xing's plan, the first batch of 900,000 standing troops will be eliminated within the first year, and 200,000 patrol troops will be reorganized and eliminated.

How will these soldiers who have been eliminated and reorganized be settled? It was organized into a new army reclamation unit and was unified as the Agricultural Reclamation Corps.

According to Liu Xing's thoughts, the 1.1 million people laid off in the first year could be formed into 55 towns. These fifty-five towns were not only sent to the Great Northern Wilderness, but also to the Western Regions and Tubo for military reclamation.

Thirty of the fifty-five towns will be sent to the Great Northern Wilderness, which means that the first batch of 600,000 retired soldiers will go to those places to open up the wasteland and ask for fertile land from the swamps and wastelands.

The other 25 towns were all sent to the Western Regions, stationed troops in the Western Regions, and served as soldiers in wartime, which is equivalent to adding 500,000 well-armed soldiers who can pick up guns at any time and return to the battlefield under the system of the Western Regions Protectorate.

In the first three years of the large-scale reclamation of the western and northern fronts, Liu Xing decided that officers above the standard level would not be allowed to bring their families to the wasteland.

However, three years later, not only were all soldiers allowed to bring their families to the newly opened land to stay permanently, but various policies were also used to encourage the soldiers of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps and their families to take root in the Great Northern Wilderness and the Western Regions for a long time.

According to rough estimates, only the first batch of 600,000 soldiers who went to the Great Northern Wilderness and 500,000 soldiers who went to the Western Regions would have reclaimed 30 acres of new land per capita in the first year, and when their families were allowed to go to their wasteland for reunion, these 1.1 million people had already reclaimed at least one million hectares of new land.

Millions of hectares of fertile land, calculated according to the yield of 300 catties of grain per mu, only three years later, the Great Northern Wilderness and the Western Regions can produce 30 billion catties of grain annually. At that time, not to mention the 1.1 million soldiers of the Reclamation Corps, even their families will be able to live a prosperous life with them.

Of course, in any kind of strategy, Liu Xing will never really just think about the people. In Liu Xing's consistent style of doing things, whether it is Wu Jue, Yue Fei, or the people of the world, they have actually seen and liked to see a businessman-like style and thinking.

This mode of thinking allowed Liu Xing to make one or two clear definitions of this new strategy.

The first definition, all the land reclaimed by the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, will be owned by the Great Song Dynasty, which is stipulated in the basic national policy, and will naturally not be broken this time.

However, unlike the reclamation of ordinary people, the land reclaimed by the Reclamation Corps is no longer just a 70-year lease, and the tenants are not the soldiers of the Reclamation Corps.

Who will lease the land and how many years? The answer is that the lease period is from the date of issuance of the land use certificate, and the user will not change for a hundred years. The lessee is not an individual, but a collective lease of the units above the standard level of each agricultural reclamation corps.

Whoever rents and naturally reaps the benefits. With the standard as the unit, the standard level of all agricultural reclamation corps will become the most basic administrative structure and grain reserve division of the Great Northern Wilderness and the Western Regions.

All the benefits belong to the farmer, so how can the farmer get the rich life he wants?

This leads to the second definition, which is that under the system of collective ownership economy, all the peasant soldiers and their families who follow them to the wasteland. Eating, drinking, lazing, seeing a doctor, going to school, etc., will all be borne by each standard.

That is to say, once you enter the farm, you don't need to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation and other things in this life, and everything will be borne by the farmyard from now on.

Is it enough to take care of the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of the soldiers and their families, and to live a carefree life?

Of course not, except that everything is in charge of the farmland, and each soldier can also receive a slightly lower monthly salary than the standing army and patrol battalions.

Eating and drinking agricultural reclamation is the responsibility of the agricultural reclamation corps, and the military salaries obtained by those agricultural reclamation soldiers can be freely disposed of. Either save it, or use it for a small business, or you can use it to make your family's life better.

In short, it is a sentence: as long as the soldiers who are put into the agricultural reclamation corps, not only do they not worry about food and clothing, but also do not worry about the future of their children, they will continue to serve in the agricultural reclamation corps for several generations. Within a hundred years, every family is a wealthy family, and every household has a lot of money in their hands.

As long as you are not a loser, you are not a person who doesn't know how to save money to support your family, as long as you are not a moonlight clan who is rich. Liu Xing firmly believes that the soldiers of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps and their descendants will become the richest and richest group of people in the world after a few generations......
