"If you rent, the government will be rent-free, but you want 20% of the product!"

Tang Ping stretched out two fingers and shook them at them.

"Twenty percent?"

The men looked at each other in disbelief, not too high, but too low.

You know, if a landless tenant rents their land to plant, up to 40 percent or even half of the harvest will be given to them.

Now it is equivalent to renting the land of the Tang Dynasty Mansion, and they only need to give 20% of the harvest.

"But in that place, if we send people over to farm and graze, isn't it too far?"

Finally someone raised this question, if these were in China, they could also find a way to find someone to plant.

The people of the Tang Dynasty make more money than the wages they give, so they can go to the poorer vassal countries next to them to recruit people.

But the place Tang Ping said is too far away.

"You don't know yet, do you?" Tang Ping said: "As for the Arab soldiers we captured this time, it is naturally impossible for them to be released, but they can't be killed or raised for nothing?" ”

"So we set up an Arab Production and Construction Corps, and their task in the future is to farm, graze, and carry out construction. Of course, we have to pay them money, so if you rent the land there, you just have to send a few stewards to manage it, and then hire people from the construction corps to work for you, and when you have the harvest, you can hand it over and take it away. ”

"As for whether you sell it locally, or sell it somewhere else, it's all your own business."

Tang Ping even listed how many people to hire and how much money they needed in advance, and sent them to each of them at this time.

The price was decided by him and Fakhr al-Din after they had consulted with them.

It certainly earned less than the Arab soldiers who fought as soldiers, but certainly more than the Arab civilians.

Only in this way will this construction corps be able to continuously recruit people from the local area to join in the future.

But at this price, these people here have a rough calculation after reading it, in addition to the rent handed over to the Tang Dynasty government, they can basically have half of the income after paying the wages.

This is the same as the harvest of renting land to tenants in China, but those fields are their own, and these fields are still Datang's.

Who can let go of such a good thing?

So they all began to excitedly ask Tang Ping how he could rent these places.

Tang Ping called them all, naturally not to say that whoever wants to rent as much as he wants, there must be his conditions.

"Hey!" Tang Ping sighed: "Actually, these lands can be rented directly to everyone, but now, there is a difficulty. ”

"Ping Guogong, if there is any difficulty, just say it!"

"It's just that there are so many of us here, I really don't believe that anything can stump us all!"

Everyone said enthusiastically, and those who didn't know thought that they and Tang Ping were friends of life and death.

"The main problem is that these lands originally belonged to the Arab Empire, and now our Tang Army is blocking the Arab Empire in Damascus, the capital of their country."

"It's a shame to say that the military rations of our Tang Army are about to run out, and everyone knows that this army is outside, if the supplies can't keep up, I'm afraid there is only one way to retreat."

"But today, there are many disasters in the country, and the government's food is used for disaster relief, so if you can't raise any more food, it is estimated that you will have to retreat from the army."

Tang Ping looked annoyed, as if he had dragged down the three armies because of him, and he said it sincerely.

But when did the old foxes present lose?

Tang Ping will mention this matter, isn't that who has more grain, and who can rent more land at that time?

The patriarch of the Wang family was the first to slap the table and said indignantly: "Why didn't Ping Guogong say it earlier? Isn't this treating our big guys as outsiders? Who is this Datang Expeditionary Force? They are all good sons of our Tang Dynasty! ”

"Why did they go on an expedition? Isn't it because the Arab Empire deceives people too much? Now that they are throwing their heads and spilling blood thousands of miles away, we as family members can't let them bleed and starve, right? ”

"On behalf of our Wang family, I donate 1,000 fat sheep, 1,000 fat cattle and 3,000 fat pigs to the Datang Expeditionary Army!"

"Our Li family is the same, even if we are hungry ourselves, we can't starve us...... That's right, it's called a soldier, right? We can't starve ourselves and starve our Datang soldiers, our Li family has 10,000 quintals of rice and 5,000 quintals of white flour! ”

Now that Datang has almost no agricultural tax, only commercial tax, who of these wealthy families does not have thousands of miles of fertile land at home? The harvest in the field is abundant.

Datang may be temporarily short of food, but their families will definitely not be short of food.

The North African steppes and the Nile plains, which Tang Ping had begun to show them, were now seen as their own.

If the Tang Army retreats and the Arab Empire reoccupies those places, won't it be a loss for itself?

These people believe that they can eat anything, but they can't eat at a loss.

Now give the government some food, but it is regarded as an advance investment.

They have also figured out the policies of the Tang Dynasty government over the years, that is, as long as you contribute to the imperial court, the imperial court will not forget to share your share of the pie if it has benefits.

Sure enough, everyone shouted one by one to donate food, Tang Ping asked Lao Cui to write it down next to each other and said: "Everyone also knows that in the future, those places will have to graze, reclaim farmland, and have to build houses and roads. ”

"But I still hope that everyone can send someone to take a look at us on the spot, so that everyone can do what in their hearts."

These wealthy families also have their own craftsmen in their hands, and Tang Ping means that we can contract the infrastructure over there to you in the future.

Who doesn't know that infrastructure makes money? That's a lot of business.

And obviously, one of the next development priorities of Datang will be over there.

This is not surprising, everyone knows that Datang is about to start developing something called oil, which is a more valuable mineral than coal mines.

The families who took pictures of the plots in the oil-producing areas even secretly called the oil black gold, which can explain its value.

The families who didn't get involved in the last oil-producing area auction are beginning to regret it, so naturally they can't miss this opportunity to enter this time again.

When Tang Ping said this, everyone was moved, and even several patriarchs or clan elders said that they were willing to personally escort the grain to the Arab Empire to sacrifice the army.

Tang Ping clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, since everyone is so active, then let's make arrangements, how about we get a Datang gathering and cost-effective inspection group?"
