Chapter 0016: Mr. Zhang!
Those who were willing to stay, Zhang Mu gave them the opportunity to stay.
So that they can go back to their respective villages and take their wives and children to Daliu Village.
Wait until this group of people comes back.
Then let all the remaining officers and soldiers go.
As for the deputy hundred households Wang Huchen, the chief flag officer, and the small flag officer are still in detention for the time being.
However, there was still no shortage of treatment for them, and they were placed in labor camps and honestly accepted labor reforms.
Wait until they fully realize their mistakes, and then decide where they belong.
The injury on Wang Huchen's buttocks has already improved a lot, although he is a deputy hundred, he has no chance to do evil like Chen Jinwu, and at this time, he has honestly explained a lot of things he did wrong.
In order to fight for a chance to live.
He also taught Daniel Zhang a set of marksmanship and some basic tips for practicing guns.
This kid has still practiced martial arts, if he really goes head-to-head with Zhang Mu, then Zhang Mu is probably not Wang Huchen's opponent, he was able to defeat Wang Huchen that day, one was by raiding, and the other was that Wang Huchen drank a lot of wine, and he couldn't get three or five points with ten strength.
Regardless of whether he was convinced or not, Wang Huchen carefully handed over Daniel Zhang a set of marksmanship in order to survive.
He even participated in the training of sergeants.
Don't really say it.
Wang Huchen, this kid really has a hand, and when he asked, people have also read "Ji Xiao's New Book", which is also hereditary for hundreds of households.
Unfortunately, I didn't have enough money to become a hundred.
Luckily, I didn't have enough money to become a hundred.
Of the thirty-six people who were willing to stay, twelve of them returned to Daliu Village with their families, and at the same time, there were twenty-two people who were willing to join the martial arts team of Daliu Village.
As for the forty people who wanted to leave, Zhang Mu didn't force it, they wanted to leave, but Zhang Mu still gave them a farewell ceremony.
First, I hope that even if they are soldiers in the future, they will not come to persecute the common people again.
Second, I hope that even if they continue to be enemies with themselves in the future, they will think clearly about what they are fighting for, whether it is for the interests of the landlord or for the pursuit of their own happy life.
This is indeed a very good idea and operation.
However, it is unrealistic and impossible to expect that the vast majority of people will choose to stay and fight, and it would be good to be able to stay half of them.
What's more, he is now a bandit den, if he is now a team of tens of thousands of people, they will definitely stay happily.
Grievances are a means to make everyone realize what they are fighting for.
When you understand this truth, after going through tests again and again, you can condense into a steel division that wins a hundred battles.
After sending off forty people.
Zhang Mu's martial arts team has expanded to seventy-seven people.
The commando team consisted of ten, and the weapon was a steel knife.
Twenty-seven archers.
The remaining forty people were incorporated into Daniel Zhang's command by Zhang Mu.
Wang Huchen belonged to Dai Guilty and made meritorious service, and temporarily made Daniel Zhang a deputy captain and cooperated with Daniel Zhang to train soldiers.
For Zhang Mu's decision, Wang Huchen felt a little confused, I am a dignified deputy hundred households, I don't want to surrender, just think that after the meritorious service, I was quickly released, Chen Jinwu died, I will go this time, maybe I can still be hereditary as a hundred households, why did I become Daniel Zhang's adjutant in a daze?
Forget it, don't think about it so much for now, hurry up and make meritorious service.
And Zhang Mu was not idle.
I am compiling a textbook, in fact, this textbook is also easy to get, and the main thing is to learn.
These things don't need Zhang Mu to make special selections, and the source is nothing more than "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and "Kindergarten Qionglin".
Zhang Mu deleted some things.
Basically, if you know these things, you will almost be able to read and write.
However, Zhang Mu also has other ideas, if you want to make simplified characters, traditional characters are too difficult, it is better to make pinyin out, use pinyin to mark it, if you learn pinyin, then it will not be a big problem to read.
You can give it a try.
However, this is a long-term process and cannot be rushed.
First of all, the captains need to learn, each captain is taught by Zhang Mu personally, and secondly, the captains go back to teach the members of the production team, it is best to let the captains report the list, and then select the deputy captain from the production team members, and there is the instructor of the production team, and the accounting of the production team specializes in mathematics.
There is also external publicity, Zhang Mu can only temporarily hand over this task to Liu Kui.
In addition, Zhang Mu forced children under the age of 12, both male and female, to study.
Now Zhang Mu has a lot of work.
A skimm, a pinch!
This used to be the ancestral residence of Rich Liu, but now, it has basically been demolished by Zhang Mu and has been turned into a school.
There are still children from the whole Daliu Village, as well as some young people from other villages who come to study, and these young people from other villages do not really want to study, but they have heard that as long as they come to study, they will have a bowl of porridge.
"It's a man!"
A child spoke.
"People, what is it?" Zhang Mu asked.
The boy replied, "Man is a landlord, and the landlord says that we are cows and horses, and Grandma says that we are inferior to cows and horses." ”
Zhang Mu looked at all the children, but was silent for a while, silently erased the words on the sand table, and then wrote another word, what is this word?
"It's the hand!"
张牧看着众人张开了双手,而后又握紧了拳头:“我们人人都有一双手,地主的剥削阶级拿着刮骨刀对我们敲骨吸髓,一点点的抽干我们的血肉,那么,我们的双手要用来做什么? ”
"Take away their bone scrapers and bring down the landlords!" Someone spoke.
"Yay!" Zhang Mu said loudly: "Let's think about it, think about it, why are these landlords on top?" They are our enemies, our exploiters! ”
"Mr. Zhang, what do you say exploitation is?" A man from the next village suddenly asked.
"What is exploitation, that is, I have worked hard to grow a hundred catties of grain on this acre of land, and the landlord does not need to do anything, as long as he gently hooks his hand, he can take away eighty catties of grain!"
"You're not right!" Someone said, "We have rented the landlord's land, and if the landlord does not rent it to us, we will starve!" ”
"That's not right!"
Another humanitarian: "You are not right to say this, what do you mean that if the landlord does not give us the land, we will starve, you see, is the landlord of our Daliu Village gone, he, this land, will not be rented to us, will we also cultivate it?" ””
"Yes, yes, can the land eat? No, if there is no one to work, will the land grow crops on its own? No, only those who work are qualified to eat, why does the landlord say that this land is mine, and he doesn't even move his hoe, so he stretches out his hand to ask for eighty percent of the income? That's exploitation! ”
"However, I also work for the landlord, people take care of my food, and I will be paid at the end of the year, which is all said, if I don't pay the wages at the end of the year, I don't give food, this is called exploitation, but people do give money, is this wrong?"
Zhang Mu smiled mildly and said, "Then have you ever calculated the account!" ”
"Reckoning?"
Someone wondered.
"It's easy!" Zhang Mu opened his mouth and said: "Let's calculate how much grain we can produce in a year, how much grain we should harvest, at least, how much grain we should distribute!" ”
Looking at the guy who was talking, Zhang Mu said: "How many acres of land have you rented from the landlord?" ”
"Twenty acres of land, my father and me, my wife, and three children at home can all come to help!"
Zhang Mu nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to cultivate twenty acres of land alone, even if I produce two stones per mu, is there a problem with this?" ”
"No problem!"
The yield per mu is two stones, which is equivalent to 288 catties per mu in later generations.
The land of the Ming Dynasty is intensively cultivated, and there is crop rotation, and the yield per mu is much higher than that of the Song Dynasty.
"Twenty acres of land, are all fertile land, a total of forty stone grain, ideally, an adult needs 3.6 stone meters a year, a child needs 1.8 stone rice, I don't count your father, your family is a family of 5, two adults and three children, a year needs 12.6 stone of rice, but, this is just a meal, you also need to buy salt, firewood, oil, sauce, vinegar, tea, a year's expenses, I count you 20 stone grain!!"
Zhang Mu asked, "Right?" ”
The guy did the math, and then nodded: "Yes! ”
Zhang Mu continued: "Okay, your twenty acres of land, every year to give the landlord eighty percent, that is, thirty-two stone grain, you only have eight stone of grain left, a family of five to eat this bit of grain, it is not enough at all, your wife still has to go to the landlord to weave cloth, work, you also have to go to work for the landlord in winter, this can barely maintain your own life, right?" ”
The guy nodded again.
"Then what did you get in the end after a year of hard work?" Zhang Mu asked rhetorically.
"I ......" the guy was speechless.
And Zhang Mu smiled and said: "You should have harvested more grain, you should have had extra grain that could be exchanged for cloth, which could be exchanged for salt, but you have nothing now, your clothes are tattered, you came to me for a bowl of gruel to listen to the class, you tell me, what did your labor get in exchange?" ”
It was as if a sword had pierced this guy's heart.
It hurts, it hurts intoever!
"You take care of your food and give you wages, but I only ask you, why can you barely fill your stomach even if you are working in the fields? But the landlord can eat and drink? ”
Everyone was silent.
They didn't think about these questions before.
Zhang Mu continued to prick his heart: "This is still a good year, if the year is not good, you still have to give Pan Juren 32 stone of grain, this year's drought, if you grow 28 stone of grain in a year, and you have to pay four stones of grain, how do you give it to the landlord?" Do you want to borrow money from a landlord? He gave you a loan shark, and if you can't pay it back, do you want to sell your wife and daughter? ”
"I am not going to go to the imperial examination to open a school and set up an education here, but I want to tell you some truths: first, the landlords live entirely by exploiting the peasants, second, the rich are rich because they are exploiting the poor and exploiting labor, and third, we should not pay rent to the landlords!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Mu laughed: "At least, at present, in Daliu Village, we have proved that without the landlord, we can still farm and harvest more grain, but the landlord cannot prove that without us farmers, they can still live a good life!" ”
