Detailed, one could even say in one step. Meng Jiucheng felt that it was a better way to regularize a unit, get rid of the habit of being rogue, and tie up the soldiers' families, as well as property and land. As for what to condense with lofty ideals and beliefs, it will not work in a short period of time.

The reason is very simple, the common people do not understand the great truth of serving the country and the people, or they are unwilling to listen to big words, empty words, and lies, but the benefits in front of them can be seen and touched, and they are also the most convincing to the people.

Moreover, Meng Jiucheng is not the only one who is recruiting troops and buying horses with interests, who will do it if there is no benefit? The rebels and thieves also had a way, and they relied on money and looting. It's just that Meng Jiucheng is focusing on the long-term and establishing a base area, not just for the present.

Meng Jiucheng did not go into a long speech, and he did not elaborate on the rules and regulations and discipline of the army, the rewards and punishments of combat, and so on. At the same time, he also felt that there were some things that needed to be considered and changed, as long as the villagers generally knew that being a soldier was to protect themselves, and that it was a benefit to their families.

"You can go back and think about it, or you can sign up now." After Meng Jiucheng finished speaking, he did not force the villagers to express their stance immediately, which did seem very reasonable, which was completely different from Ma Si and others.

After getting off the table, the nursery arranged by Meng Jiucheng hugged him and started to perform. Well, saying this is a bit wrongful Meng Jiucheng. For example, the big clown, as well as the militia who came this time, some people are indeed tempted by profit, and want to serve as soldiers themselves, not only to get paid and eaten, but also to make a good life for their families.

For such an enthusiastic enlist, Meng Jiucheng is naturally not afraid of the cold and works on the spot. After registering one, Mu Yi took a loud roll call on the side, set up a military salary for March, and promised to give five acres of tax-free and ten and a half acres of tax-free fields as soon as possible.

The power of example is endless, the temptation is enormous, and the sense of urgency is compelling. Especially for those who rent the fields of the king of crops this year, they will have to redistribute the fields on a first-come, first-served basis, and in the end, can they still give the rest to their own families?

Most of the northerners are acute and straightforward, and some villagers immediately come forward to sign up, in addition to thinking about their families, there are also those who want to get paid for food and beg for a living.

After a period of chaos, the villagers gradually dispersed. On the way, there are still discussions, whether it is good or bad, and the opinions are also different.

Meng Jiucheng estimated that it was not enough to have the land of Wang Dahu's family, and after he temporarily settled down, he also asked Zhao Si and Wei Hao to give up the fields. The so-called concession is not confiscation, but a fixed rent and fixed interest. The land was still nominally owned by the Zhao and Wei families, but the land rent collected was much lower than it is now.

At that time, the Jin Dynasty repeatedly raised taxes, which tripled in two years, and most of the landlords passed on to the tenants, but in fact, both reduced their income and burdened them heavily. Therefore, Meng Jiucheng calculated that reducing the current land rent by half is only the level of the previous year.

Then, according to the harvest, the landlord gets 20 percent, the tenant gets 50 percent, and the remaining 30 percent is used as military rations.

This is a successful practice in history, where rents are set according to the harvest, landlords can no longer exploit at will, and peasants' enthusiasm for production can also be generally increased. Although the landlord is disgruntled, he is afraid of force to suppress it, and he can still collect a part, and he has a life, and the hostility will not be too strong.

"Brother Mu, I feel refreshed today, and my head is very bright." Meng Jiucheng returned to the house, deeply satisfied with his performance.

And this is indeed the case, some things that were not thought out clearly last night are already full of thoughts today, and various methods are emerging one after another.

Mu Yi smiled and said, "Ninety percent of the whimsical ideas have always been admired by a certain family. As soon as Ma Si's scourge was eliminated, ninety percent of them lost their heart disease and became more and more intelligent, thinking it was related to this. ”

Probably, right? Meng Jiucheng is also not sure. But it's not a bad thing to have a brain, after so many things, it's time for the Taoist priest to take off his hat.

After breakfast, Meng Jiucheng sent someone back to the Taoist temple, first invited Chen Daotong, and then asked Mu Xiaowei and Sanming to organize the refugees first, preparing to move to Wulong Mountain Village. Then, he and Mu Yi each took a dozen old and new soldiers, drove a few big cars, and rushed to the front car Yu and the rear car Yu.

According to the confession, Ma Si left five or six people in front of Che Yu and Hou Che Yu to guard the house and money he had looted. If the villagers resisted, these five or six people would naturally not be able to resist. But the villagers saw the dozens of people brought by Ma Si and knew that they would return soon, so they were intimidated.

The villagers were afraid of retaliation, but Meng Jiucheng wanted to go all out, not only to take the money, house, and land that Ma Si had robbed as capital for development. He was able to control these two villages by the way, continue to expand the team, and expand the base area.

It turned out that when he was nesting in the Taoist temple, Meng Jiucheng still suspected a lot of people, but when he was about to start his fists and feet, he found that there were too few people who could use and trust, especially those who were literate and hyphenation and knew some mathematical calculations. Therefore, he can only lower the standard, first find what can be used, and then observe the temperament in the future to determine whether he can be trusted.

For example, the original bookkeeper of Wang Dahu, who was with him, had a very obscene image, but Meng Jiucheng had to comfort himself that "people can't look good, and sea water can't scoop up." There is also "the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black", hoping that his noble character can infect this guy.

"High, really high!" Hu Shufang's flattery and praise again reminded Meng Jiucheng of the face of a certain movie character.

"The villain thinks that this field may not be enough. Of course, you must know that there are less than 300 acres of land in Wulong Mountain Village, and the rest is hillside land, so the harvest is not much! Hu Jifang didn't know that Meng Jiucheng had linked him to the traitor, and he was still carefully considering the words, not only being able to express himself, but also not making Meng Jiucheng unhappy.

According to the crop yield at that time, it would be good if these fields could feed the whole village. Therefore, there are always people in the mountain villages who want to risk their lives to hunt in the mountains, and they are really forced to be helpless.

"If it weren't for the fact that there was so little land and not much harvest, how could Wulong Mountain Village be so poor!" Meng Jiucheng thought so, rubbed his nose, and secretly thought: If there are potatoes and sweet potatoes or something-

!

Meng Jiucheng suddenly looked around, only to feel that the voice seemed to be in his ears, and it seemed to be in his head.

No one around looked like he was interjecting, Meng Jiucheng glanced at the expressions of the people next to him, and scratched his head suspiciously. No one should have the audacity to know what the potatoes are talking about.

Auditory hallucinations, must be auditory hallucinations. Meng Jiucheng shook his head and came up with the only reasonable explanation. Thinking along this topic, he thinks that since there are no high-yield crops, making some soil and fertilizer should, maybe, probably, double the yield, right?

Cut, turn your head!

What the heck? Meng Jiucheng's body shook and almost fell off the horse. This time he heard it clearly, and the voice was in his head.
