Chapter 222 was set up in the ancestral hall
There is no doubt that Liu Cheng and some of his soldiers and horses, together with a lot of rations and grains, came to these eleven Mintun he set up one by one, and only collected forty percent of the output of Mintun a year as he stipulated, and the rest remained here in Mintun, so that Mintun could be freely disposed of, and exempted everyone from counting taxes for a year, even if they began to collect and calculate taxes in the future, they would not collect more, and one person, only once a year After these policies were said, these people who only felt that they were helpless instantly became excited!!
They knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed to Liu Cheng very sincerely!
Many people couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and gratitude.
Some old people who have suffered so much that they can't help but cry loudly!
How many years!
How many years have it been!!
For as long as I can remember, I haven't had a good life!
Poverty and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the government are like maggots on tarsal bones!
When he used to be, he also had ambition, and felt that as long as he was not afraid of hardship, tiredness, and worked in a down-to-earth and responsible manner, life would eventually get better.
But then experience taught him that it was simply impossible!
In this world, the world and the government will always use all kinds of reasons to scavenge the money and food you have earned so hard.
When he was carried by the army, leaving his hometown and heading to an unknown place, he had already accepted his fate, and he was already numb to despair.
I feel like that's all for this life!
As a result, when he was about to starve to death, he met this group of the loveliest people and met the beloved Uncle Liuhuang!
Everything is different!!
Not long ago, after he heard what Uncle Liu said would make them settle down, live, and see hope, he actually didn't believe it in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Uncle Liu, but in this life, he has seen too many things, and he no longer has any trust in the government......
As a result, only a few days have passed, and Uncle Liu Huang has already distributed the land, and he has also brought over the grain and rations!
More importantly, the tax policy announced by Uncle Liuhuang!
The seeds and land were all brought over by the imperial uncle, but the imperial uncle only collected forty percent, and also agreed that he would not charge additional taxes in the future!
What's more, it's money, and it's only charged once a year!
The money is only collected once a year!!
For as long as I can remember, I have to collect money five or six times a year!
In nearly 50 years, it has risen to more than 40 a year......
originally thought that after leaving his hometown and abandoning his family and business, life would be even more difficult.
But I didn't expect that now it has suddenly developed to the point where I dreamed of it before!
Faced with such a situation, how can this weather-beaten old man not burst into tears with excitement?
How not to kowtow to Liu Cheng?!
After tears of excitement, the old man's heart was also full of energy.
Although at this time, he is no longer the young man he once was, and his body has already been polished by years of wind and frost and is not as strong as before, but under the cover of the imperial uncle and in the face of such good conditions, the ideals and enthusiasm that have long been worn out in his heart have appeared again!
And began to permeate the chest.
Now with such good conditions, I can always make some achievements and leave something for my children and grandchildren.
Contribute and endure hardships, he is never afraid!
What I'm afraid of is that after a lot of hard work, there is nothing left of the hard-earned things......
Liu Cheng took people and left from these people, but the words and influence he left behind are still there.
Among the people, Liu Cheng's ancestral hall was erected, and these people bowed and prayed to Liu Cheng with great respect......
These people who got Liu Cheng's promise and some of the grain and farming tools left behind by Liu Cheng didn't wait for the next day at all, and began to use the tools they got to turn over the land on the same day!
At this time, it is already April, and the weather is getting warmer day by day.
At such a time, it is certainly impossible to grow wheat.
Because the wheat is already about to be tasseled.
However, it is possible to sow a season of grain. (After the kernels are shelled, the result is millet)
The whole north is still very vast, and the distance is far away, and the time for sowing millet is not the same.
For example, in the vast area of Hebei, it is already a little late to sow seeds at this time, but Chang'an, as well as the place where Liu Cheng is located, are just right.
This is also an important reason why Liu Cheng acted so eagerly, so much wanted to settle the matter here quickly, and then quickly go to Chang'an.
The agricultural season cannot be delayed, and if you delay it for one more day, you will have a lot less harvest.
At this time, the people can be mobilized, and some grains can be planted, and when the time comes, they will be able to harvest more, and the confidence will be more sufficient, and the waist board will become harder.
Liu Chengdu understands this truth, how can these people, who have dealt with the land all their lives and rely on digging in the soil to survive, not understand?
Before, they had no land and no seeds, and even if it was a pity that the farming time was delayed, they were helpless.
Now that they have the land and seeds, and the good policies set by the emperor's uncle, in such a situation, how can they not work hard?
So much so that at night, there are many people who do not rest, and continue to open up the wasteland by the moonlight, until the rooster crows twice, and then they begin to lie down and rest.
The next day, just after dawn, he got up again and began to plow.
It's as if you don't know how to get tired......
At first, Liu Cheng felt that because of the lack of some necessary agricultural tools, the speed at which these people cultivated the fields would be much slower.
As a result, a day later, when he went to Mintun to look at it again, he was immediately shocked by the amount of land that had been reclaimed!
Such a group of hard-working and lovely people really shouldn't live such a hard life as before!
Liu Cheng looked at such a scene, and his heart couldn't help but be full of emotion.
After he returned to the barracks, he immediately issued an order to let people start to make agricultural tools from the weapons and broken weapons that had been seized before, and distribute them to these eleven people's camps, so that the people could use them to increase the speed of farming.
After Liu Cheng came back from inspecting these eleven Mintun, Zhao Yun, who had not spoken much, took the initiative to open his mouth to Liu Cheng.
"Uncle Huang, I don't think it's enough to just organize these people to carry out tuntian, and the officers and soldiers in the army can also follow the example of Mintun and farm the land......"
Following Liu Cheng around, Zhao Yun, who was opened up by Liu Cheng's Tuntian method, began to offer advice to Liu Cheng......
