Qin Yu bought so much land at once, whether it was farming or other uses, it needed manpower, and there were really not so many slaves in Yongnian County, but when he bought the land, the county order offered to help, and Qin Yu saved a lot of trouble.

As soon as the banquet ended, the next day, the chief bookkeeper of Yongnian County came over in person to tell Qin Yu that the person had been chosen.

Qin Yu hurriedly followed the main book to the county office, and after seeing the county order, he learned that except for the people prepared by the county order, except for the people who didn't know where to get it, the rest were all homeless, a total of more than 1,200 people.

Among them, there are nearly 1,000 displaced people, and most of them are old and weak, women and children, and only 100 are young and strong.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the equalization system, each adult 20 acres of Yongye field, 80 acres of mouth land, Yongye field can be hereditary, can be bought and sold, no need to pay taxes, mouth divided land, people die to return the land to the state, but also to pay taxes.

Once the year is not good, even if the tax is reduced, it may not be able to pay, so it can only be sold Yongye land.

Yongye Tian is not sold, and the land is not enough to pay taxes, what should I do, I can only become a homeless person, or I will sell myself into slavery, which is the sorrow of the people in this era.

Qin Yu knew this, and also understood the meaning of the county order, this was to ask him to help solve the problem of the homeless, as long as Qin Yu agreed to accept these homeless, those who didn't know where to get the song would be given away for free.

In fact, it doesn't cost much money to buy these 200 people's trilogy, and now there is no war, it's really useless, and the county order naturally understands, but none of the squires in Yongnian County are willing to take out even a grain of grain to help the victims, and for the sake of their own political achievements, the county order has no choice but to design Qin Yu once.

Qin Yu did not hesitate, and decided on the spot to accept them all, although most of them are old and weak, women and children, but they also have labor, they can't do heavy work, light work can't be done, as long as they are not too old or too young, and their legs and feet are not good, they can participate in labor.

Besides, adult women can also work in the field, and they can also hand over the county order, the most important thing is that this is still a reputation sent to the door for nothing, don't do it in vain, your name as a good person is passed on and come out, it has to be well-founded, and it has to be made before it is useful.

Seeing that Qin Yu agreed, the county order was overjoyed to keep Qin Yu for dinner, Qin Yu understood the excitement of the county order, but at this moment, it was better to solve the problem of food and housing for this thousand and two hundred people first, and what changes did there make in the province.

The grain of the Tang Dynasty was worth four to five wen per bucket of rice, with little fluctuation, and the weight was equivalent to the modern catty, about 12 catties, to feed more than 1,200 people, Qin Yu had to pay at least out of his pocket until the soybeans were planted.

But soybeans are not the staple food after all, that is to say, Qin Yu has to raise these people at least until the wheat is ripe next year, and in nearly a year, 1,200 people will eat at least 600 catties of grain a day, about 50 buckets.

That is to say, these people eat at least two hundred taels a day, and eat for more than three hundred days in a row, a total of sixty taels, and give them more to eat, which is only two hundred taels of silver, which is enough, and Qin Yu can completely raise it.

It can be seen from this that where the wealth of this era is in the hands of the people, it can also be seen that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty are not ordinary people who ignore the life and death of the people, even if there is an emperor who values the people's livelihood.

It is easy to raise these people, but Qin Yu knows one thing, Shengmien, fighting Mi hatred, raising this group of people for nothing may not only not get benefits, but also may form enemies, so Qin Yu did not hesitate to implement work for relief.

Whether it is an old man, a child, or a woman, they have to work, unless they have difficulty moving, or they are waiting to be fed, otherwise, they have to work, they don't work, they don't have food, it's as simple as that.

The homeless people came to the outskirts of Yongnian County when Qin Yu moved, all of them were yellow and thin, Qin Yu's heart was inexplicably stabbed, but the decision will not be changed, people's hearts are so difficult to grasp, Qin Yu doesn't want to make a group of enemies.

As for the more than 200 parts that are not here, since Qin Yu agreed, the county order ordered the master to send them to Qin Mansion, that is, Qin Yu's new house, and the plaque was still made with Cheng Huailiang's help, which was full of momentum.

Qin Yu was accompanied by Xiaohong's father and daughter, Xiaohong's father shuttled among the homeless people with a group of family members, and gathered the homeless people so that Qin Yu could shout.

There was no impassioned speech, just a simple sentence, "Follow me, there is food." "Mobilize the enthusiasm of this group of displaced people.

Qin Yu spoke in the vernacular, and they couldn't understand it at all, looking at the homeless people who looked at Qi Qi, he added, "No matter who it is, as long as you are willing to be my tenant, you will have food." ”。

The homeless people were suffering from hunger and displacement, and when they heard Qin Yu's words, the homeless people all showed disappointed eyes, but some of them were a little struggling and hesitant.

In order to survive, most of the displaced people became tenants or sold themselves into slavery, and this group of people would rather leave home than become tenants or slaves, obviously with a trace of blood, but starvation to death is never what they want, so disappointment and hesitation are mixed.

Qin Yu was slightly stunned, and soon understood that he was thinking badly, if this group of homeless people wanted to be tenants, they would have done it earlier, why did they come here, although tenants only began to prevail in the late Tang Dynasty, but at this time, there are still some remote and sparsely populated places.

"Maybe you're misleading." Qin Yu smiled slightly, because of this sincere smile, the homeless people felt Qin Yu's kindness, and waited for Qin Yu's next words one by one.

"As my tenant, I can't be exempt from rent." Qin Yu paused for a moment, didn't wait for the homeless people to react, and then shouted, "Yicheng, as long as it is a bumper harvest, it will be rented, this will never change, you don't have to worry about paying taxes." ”。

"Wow." With a bang, the homeless people were boiling, their eyes widened one by one, and they looked at Qin Yu incredibly, becoming Qin Yu's tenants, naturally, they had to pay rent, but Qin Yu only collected one percent, and they didn't have to pay taxes, which was obviously beyond their imagination.

In their hometown, which landlord does not collect fifty percent or even six or seven percent, but also has to pay taxes, to Zuihou, there is not much left, and even can not solve the problem of food and clothing, this is still a bumper harvest year, if there is a drought or flood, I dare not imagine.

And selling themselves into slavery, even their own lives are not their own, and they are worse than tenants, which is why this group of people insist on becoming outcasts and expect help from the imperial court.

At this time, the displaced people naturally understood that the land rented to them by Qin Yu was a mouth-divided field, otherwise Qin Yu would not mention paying taxes, and the fields rented to them by the landlord were basically Yongye fields, and the so-called taxes were also handed over to them, compared with Qin Yu, those people were simply demons.

"In times of drought and flood, it can be appropriately reduced, or even no rent can be collected." At this moment, the homeless people were not calm at all, they looked at each other, but no one dared to speak out, and even the children were scared to cry by the silent scene, and they were all covered with their mouths for the first time, for fear of provoking Qin Yu to be unhappy, so they retracted these promises.

According to what Qin Yu said, as long as they are still Qin Yu's tenants, then they basically have their own land again, although it is not Yongye Field, but as long as Qin Yu does not fall, then they have no worries at all, and they can live in peace.

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to be my tenant?" Qin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.

The homeless people shook their heads excitedly, Qin Yu nodded, and then said, "That's good, I have a field at the foot of Taihang Mountain, of course, the mountains and forests there also belong to me, and it is still a wasteland, but don't worry, what I said is still valid." ”。

"Farm tools or something, I'll provide it, you just need to plough the land as soon as possible, plant soybeans as soon as possible, of course, I still need to build some houses, I need your efforts, I can't support you in vain, and the house is built well or not, it depends on you, because that's your future housing."

Before Qin Yu's words were over, the homeless people were boiling, cheering excitedly, even those children clapped their hands happily, naturally some of them didn't understand, but they knew that the adults were happy, which meant that they didn't need to be hungry, and they were also happy.

After a while, Qin Yu stretched out his hand to signal quiet, and then continued, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, I'm not a good person, except for people with limited mobility and the elderly over sixty years old and children under eight years old, they don't have to do things, everyone else has to do it, otherwise there is no food, is there any problem?" ”。

"Nope." Everyone didn't mean to be dissatisfied at all, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Qin Yu one by one.

Originally, Qin Yu wanted to say that he was under the age of three, but in the end he didn't say it, Qin Yu naturally wouldn't ask these old and weak people to really do any heavy work, just to do some light work of serving tea and delivering water, of course, there was no tea here, and even Qin Yu had never drunk tea.

Because eight-year-old children have begun to distinguish between good and bad, Qin Yu wants them to understand and learn that if they want to live a good life, they must do it themselves, and they must learn to be self-reliant, instead of taking food for granted.

For this reason, Qin Yu also formulated a plan for how much food to get, in a word, no matter what age he is, as long as he meets the standard, he can eat enough, and there will be rewards for exceeding the standard.

After the shouting, a large amount of grain bought by Qin Yu was transported out of the city one by one, and this time, the homeless people believed Qin Yu's words even more, and their eyes were full of vitality.

Qin Yu still needs to go back to take a look at the group of tribes, and the matter of registering this group of homeless people will be handed over to Xiaohong, with a family as a unit, if there is no family, register it separately, and if you have a skill, it will also be specially noted, after explaining Xiaohong, Qin Yu will return to Qin's mansion.

The status of the tribe is very low, slightly better than the slaves, Qin Yu talked to this group of tribes who changed masters for a while, and then calmed their hearts, you know, Qin Yu has the power of life and death, and they are naturally worried about the new master's temper.

More than 3,000 acres of land are still waiting to be reclaimed, Qin Yu will naturally not waste it, this group of troops will naturally go to the land that has just been bought to reclaim the wasteland, as for the tools, Qin Yu has already purchased a batch, and will use it for the time being, because it is raining, the ground is still a little soft, and it is not too troublesome to reclaim the land, the only thing that is not haode is the lack of cattle.

Even if it is bought with silver, it is only ten heads, and it can no longer be bought, there is no way, Qin Yu had to ask Xiao Tao to go to Zhangjia Village to borrow the cattle there for use, Qin Yu's borrowed cattle, Zhangjia Village naturally will not refuse.

Quyuan plough came from the Tang Dynasty, which can greatly improve the efficiency of cultivated land, but it has not yet appeared, Qin Yu hurriedly drew the figure of Quyuan plow, and each part was specially marked to make an explanation, and then went out to find a blacksmith.

The status of the blacksmith was also very low, and Qin Yu came in person, which startled the blacksmith.

The blacksmith's surname is Zhang, after learning that Qin Yu came to intention, he took the drawing, looked at it for a while, and waited until Qin Yu explained the various parts, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately patted his chest and promised to make two pairs of curved plows in one day.

Qin Yu was very helpless, but Yongnian County was such a blacksmith, and there was no way but to ask Blacksmith Zhang to do it as soon as possible.

Cultivated land for sowing seeds, and irrigation is also needed, but the land Qin Yu bought is only the twenty acres of Yongye field near the river, don't think about the rest, either dig a well, or dig a ditch, Qin Yu has a headache when he thinks about it, or he will move it all.

Considering the importance of irrigation, Qin Yu drew the water drum car again, and the same as the Quyuan plow, the water drum car did not appear in this period, and at this time, the mobile phone had begun to prompt the power was insufficient, Qin Yu was a little gloomy, fortunately, the copy had been copied.

When Zuihou finished a stroke and the mobile phone officially consumed all the power, Qin Yu sighed, and then put the mobile phone in the box in his room, and put it together with the clothes and shoes he wore when he first came to the Tang Dynasty, and there were more than a dozen pieces of paper inside, recording the technology that Qin Yu copied.

Fortunately, I wanted to be a digging author, otherwise I wouldn't have been idle to download these things, and because of this, I helped Qin Yu a lot here.
