Chapter 142: The Great Tyrant Divides the Land
A table covered with homespun cloth sits on the earthen platform of the school grounds, and a large teacup is placed on the table. There are a few chairs in the back, and in the middle sits Song Wen, next to the representative of the tenant farmers of Qingshanzhai and Mr. Sun Mou, Li Erlang...... A few people were so nervous that they didn't even know where to put their hands.
Song Wen stood up and coughed, looked at the more than sixty excited teenagers in the audience and more people watching the excitement in the distance, and said loudly: "Brothers...... Today is a day worth remembering in our Qingshanzhai, you all know, in the future, our Qingshanzhai business will implement the joint-stock system! All the people are the masters of our firm, and if the business of the firm is good, everyone will get more money! Our township soldiers are different, we have to practice weekdays, and we have to go into battle to fight in wartime...... In the future, the Chamber of Commerce will do business all over the world, and you will have to change into the clothes of walking the rivers and lakes to be escorted! How can I do you badly? How can you make less money than your fellow chamber of commerce? ”
The villagers below shouted in unison...... "Dutou is mighty, Dutou is mighty!" ”
Song Wen smiled, his hands involuntarily pinched behind his waist, and suddenly he felt that what he was doing now and this posture was ...... Feeling so weird?
Shaking his head to drive away the feeling of déjà vu, Song Wen continued: "A bowl of dry rice with thousands of family wealth, and a thousand feet of fertile land and graves...... I, Song Wen, have never been insatiable people, and the money and land accumulated by gathering people to work hard should be shared by everyone! This time, we have made a contribution to the bandits who defeated Kuquan Mountain...... Meng Zhushu sold us a total of nearly 700 acres of land at a low price! There are 200 acres of upper fields, 300 acres of middle fields, and 200 acres of mountainous land. ”
The crowd was so excited that even the tenant farmers, who were not qualified to divide the land, had their eyes shining...... Did your own rabbit cubs also go to the Qingshan camp? This is a real field! A field that can be passed down from generation to generation!
"One person has five acres of middle field, or two acres of upper field, or seven acres of mountainous land! Pick your own according to the order of your usual performance and the merits on the battlefield...... Mr. Sun Mu is responsible for the specific operation. But...... In addition to spring planting and autumn harvest, all the trivial tasks of taking care of the fields, irrigation, fertilization and insect control must be handed over to the tenants of our Qingshan Cottage to take care of! You don't have to give a penny, but the harvest should be divided into two percent to the tenants who take care of the fields...... Finally, I will pay 10% to the barracks as a pension reserve! ”
There was a whisper at the bottom, and everyone was satisfied, the tenants worked harder, but they could take away 20% of all the harvest! They are very happy, and what tenant will be afraid of if they work hard? What they are afraid of is that they have no income and have to pay taxes!
Song Wen took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "Within three years, our Qingshanzhai will not have to pay the tax of the county government, this is the deal I negotiated with Master Meng...... Including the land that was assigned to Qingshanzhai this time. But I made a promise to Master Meng...... A year later, the whole army of the Qingshan Battalion went out to exterminate the thieves in Daqingshan! ”
The news has been circulating for a long time, but this time Song Wen announced the result in public.
"Let's make another contribution! After laying down Daqingshan, I will go to ask Master Meng for money, grain and land, and next time we will have a celebration party...... Get more land and a bounty bonus! ”
"There are also pensions for the injured or even the dead, and the township soldiers do not have the pensions given by the imperial court...... But I give it to Aoyama Camp! All brothers who died in battle received a 50 yuan pension, half of their disability, and paid leave for minor injuries! If there are no relatives left......"
Song Wen looked around, and sure enough, most of the township soldiers lowered their heads and showed sad looks...... "If you don't have relatives, keep the money in the Sihai Commercial Bank in Qingshanzhai for safekeeping, and the accounts will be made public!" It is used as an additional pension for the disabled or killed brothers in the future, as well as ...... Everyone, every month! The monthly silver of the consistent money...... Wu Chang has always been 300 Wen, and Shi Chang has always been 500 Wen! The 100-man team is running two and a half, and the deputy team is running twice! ”
Boom, the bottom is completely fried...... Everyone looked at Song Wen in disbelief, when he became a village soldier, he could divide the land, and if he died, he would have a pension! Now there is still a monthly amount of money that has always started to be paid?
Song Wenyi waved his hand: "So in fact, we are Qingshan Cottage, everyone is the master!" Whether we go into battle to kill the enemy, or do businessmen in laymen! It's all about earning money for yourself and making merit for yourself...... No one is anyone's minion, everyone is their own master! If you are willing to take the silver and copper coins and bury them yourself, no one cares, and there is still an interest of one cent a year to eat in the commercial bank! ”
Many villagers began to wipe their tears, and the old tenants on the stage, Sun Mu and Li Erlang, were also a little trembling...... Gradually, the workshop masters and apprentices who had been watching the excitement from afar also squeezed over excitedly, and Song Wen pointed at them and said, "You are the same!" Everyone receives monthly silver according to the army's salary halved, but the master who is really capable will be paid in full according to the salary of the deputy team! Once there is merit or ingenuity, there is also a big bonus bonus! A small saber gauntlet with a replaceable hilt blade has a bounty of fifty strokes...... Think for yourselves, how many opportunities are there to get rich overnight? ”
The eyes of all the workshop masters and apprentices were green......
"Lang Jun is mighty, we are willing to die...... Lang Jun is mighty......"
For a whole day, Song Wen broke out like a thunderbolt and scattered half of the cottage and most of the net worth he had accumulated!
Li Yan felt that he was crazy, and Sun Mu felt that he was crazy...... Old Ghost Wang felt that this guy was not only crazy, but also incurable!
Even Chunniang ran to touch Song Wen's head to see if he had a fever and was confused......
Li Yan pushed open Song Wen's courtyard door at night, walked straight to the door of Song Wen's study, and looked at him directly.
"Boy, tell me the truth today...... What exactly do you want to do? Do you really want to gather a crowd to rebel? ”
Song Wen looked up at Li Yan and said with a smile: "What am I going to rebel with?" Just with this hundred-and-a-half-size son and a group of tenants, craftsmen, teapots, and sisters? ”
Li Yan said with a complicated expression: "Do you know that now the entire Qingshan Village, up and down, has regarded you as a life-saving god...... If you say a word, let them get into the oil pot and they will all jump! How do you ...... Where to put the imperial court? ”
Song Wen shook his head...... "Uncle Li should ask himself, where does the imperial court put us people?" Most of these people are orphans who fled from the erosive Hebei Road, and they are the hard-working people you rescued one by one...... Where was the imperial court then? There are also all the apprentices of craftsmen who came from the homeless people and the tenants who could not afford to eat at the beginning...... Where did the court turn them? ”
"You...... You ......"
Song Wen looked outside the courtyard, Li Erlang, Sun Mu Chunniang, and the leaders of the tenant craftsmen were all standing quietly outside the door...... In fact, everyone couldn't understand what Song Wen was doing with all his family wealth!
Song Wen walked to the door and said loudly to all the close confidants with a calm expression: "I will take care of what God doesn't care, and I will take care of what the court doesn't care!" Benevolence and righteousness come first for the way of heaven...... I just want to do my best to practice the teachings that Master taught me for the rest of my life! Live up to our ancestors and partners! Live up to your loyalty and bravery, live up to your true character as a man! I enjoy the peaceful world, and I am the first in the troubled times! If there are bandits, I will settle the world, and if there is a foreign invasion, I will protect the land and the people! Castle Peak Camp ...... Always put benevolence and righteousness first, and do the right thing for heaven! ”
Boom, everyone shouted in unison: "Benevolence and righteousness come first, do the right thing for heaven!" Benevolence and righteousness come first, and do the right thing for heaven! ”
Li Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, in the end, this Song Wen still didn't shout any rebellious words to incite these subordinates...... But there is still something wrong that makes him feel like a fish in his throat, what is it?
