Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 32 Establishment of the city of Mi Xuan
There are few people in Wang Weishi's personal guards now, and the predecessors of the personal guards, Shi Long Hammer and Iron Tower, have been promoted. The current chief of the guard, is Wang Rong's kindred, his distant cousin Wang Mao.
When Wang Rong and his relatives came to the city again, the place had changed, and the whole city had been cleaned up and cleaned. The platform was also vacated, and the field on the west side opposite the platform was fenced.
Li Qian personally greeted Wang Rong and his party at the door, and Wang Rong said to him bluntly: "Gather the people of the whole city, I have a policy to announce." ”
Li Qian saw Wang Rong's serious expression, and his heart was also terrified, and he hurriedly called his subordinates to gather the people.
Wang Rong inspected the high platform, and on this high platform covering an area of fifteen acres, Wang Rong saw the current old and weak of the entire city, and he glanced at it.
Li Qian hurriedly stepped forward and reported: "Captain, these are the existing people in the city. There are more than 2,200 people, including more than 500 Ding Zhuang, more than 500 strong women, more than 200 children, and more than 800 old people. ”
Wang Rong asked loudly, "Are you all willing to listen to me?" ”
When Li Qian heard Wang Rong's question, he knelt directly on the ground and said loudly: "It's all up to the captain, and you listen to the captain!" ”
"Listen to the captain!" "Listen to the captain!" "Listen to the captain!"
Kneeling down in all directions, and at the same time, shouts rang out one after another, giving Wang Rong a feeling that it was a mess.
Wang Rong stepped forward to help Li Qian up, and reprimanded: "How polite the old man is, the ancient book says: 'A man has gold under his knees, and only kneels to the sky and his parents', Benduwei doesn't like people with soft knees." Just set an example for the people. ”
Li Qian listened to Wang Rong's words, maybe he didn't read much, and he didn't remember which ancient book had this sentence.
Wang Wei, who was standing on the side, had a trace of inexplicability in his eyes, but he came out of Wang's Academy, and he didn't read a lot of books, and he didn't know which ancient book had this sentence in it.
No matter what others thought, Wang Rong still let Li Qian stand up, and more than 2,000 people also stood up. Wang Rong stood on the high platform, took the horn made of wood from Wang Hao's hand, and said loudly: "The reconstruction of the city requires the efforts of all of us, and now we are facing many problems that need to be solved one by one. The first thing to say is the field property, and now all the fields outside the city are unified under the ownership of the county government. ”
This first sentence shook everyone like thunder, and Li Qian also felt incredible. Although the fields outside the city can't fill their stomachs, they are all personal property and belong to the county government, isn't that just robbery?
Before Li Qian could raise an objection, he heard what Wang Rong said next: "The county government's ownership of all the land does not mean that everyone's land is collected for private use, but it is managed on behalf of the people. I call this the public ownership of land, and under this system, the land is distributed evenly according to the population, and what is allocated is the right to contract land and the right to manage it.
More than 2,000 people in the city have the right to contract and manage land after they are allocated land. During the term of the land contract, peasant households with the right to contract and manage land may voluntarily, compensate, and in accordance with the law, transfer the land management right to other rural households through subcontracting, transfer, shareholding, cooperation, leasing, swapping, etc., that is, retain the contracting right and transfer the management right. Regardless of who planted the contracted land, the county government's tax targets are always the farmers who contracted the land, do you understand? ”
Li Qian instructed his sons and nephews to bring pen and paper and write down the policies announced by Wang Rong one by one. The more he wrote, the more astonished he became. Isn't this the Jing Tian system of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but it is more flexible than the Jing Tian system.
Wang Rong continued: "The second is conscription, and there will be no such thing as conscription in the future. Civil engineering, building bridges and roads, dredging rivers and canals, and transferring water valleys are all hired during the agricultural slack, and the hired people will have three meals a day in the county government, and they will be paid. ”
When Li Qian heard Wang Rong's second item, the whole person was excited, he had never heard of such good governance, and the people below the high platform heard this policy, and their doubts about the first land policy were instantly dispelled a lot, and they shouted happily. As for what was being shouted, Wang Rong didn't have the heart to listen carefully.
Wang Rong began to talk about the third item: "The third item is military, our city is located in the west of Shuofang, out of the wolf mountain is the grassland, there is a murderous Hu tribe, we need to defend our homeland, defend our land."
Therefore, more than 500 Ding Zhuang in the city were all incorporated into the militia of the township of the city and formed a battalion, with me personally serving as the battalion commander and Li Qian serving as the battalion commander, and Li Qian as the battalion Sima, under the jurisdiction of a guard team and three capitals. The guard corps has jurisdiction over eight guard corps, each with six people, a total of 48 people, and Wang Mao serves as the captain of the guard corps.
Each of them consisted of three teams and two guards, and the two guards were four guards, each of which had a total of one hundred and fifty-nine men, one of whom was the chief and one of them.
Each team consisted of three and two guards, with a total of forty-five people, one captain and one waiter. Each tith is composed of eleven people, and there is one chief of the tithe; Each team consists of six people, and there is one captain.
The battalion commander, the uncle, the captain, the chief, and the captain are the chief officers at all levels, and Yu Hou, Du Yu Hou, and the battalion Sima are the military law and military discipline officers, and the chief officer does not participate in the command of the troops when he is present; In the absence or death of the commander-in-chief, he participates in the command of the troops. ”
The military structure implemented by Wang Rong in the county town of Lulu was different from that of the three cities of Linhe, Woye, and Linrong.
Li Qian said loudly: "Captain, this Ding Zhuang has become a soldier, who planted this field?" ”
Wang Rong said with a smile: "My husband is relieved, we are village soldiers, we farm when we are busy, practice when we are slack, and assemble in the event of a war, and the county government will provide ordnance, war horses and other military materials." ”
Wang Rong's military system is the military system of the Sui and Tang dynasties: land is owned by the state and distributed to the people. Farming when busy, training in leisure time, and fighting wars in wartime.
After the biggest three were finished, Wang Rong let the people disperse and go back to their homes. He said to Li Qian: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry to divide the fields, you bring some people, first register the people's register, and then measure the land and production." ”
"I'll do it." With hope for life, Li Qian got off the high platform in high spirits, and his nephew followed him with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to register and make a register from door to door.
Wang Rong said to Wang Wei: "You record these items, and first all actions are under command; second, it is forbidden to plunder and kill the elderly, the weak, women and children; Third, all seizures must be returned to the public. Only these three articles are military regulations, and those who dare to violate the prohibition will be confiscated from the allocated land and property. ”
"Whoa!" Wang Mo quickly recorded these three articles, and then reviewed them for Wang Wei, and after confirming that they were correct, he transcribed them again.
After doing these things, Wang Rong spent the night here, living in a tent, in which he covered himself with a thick quilt and fell asleep with all his heart. Wang Mao took his own soldiers to guard the tent, although this is not the first time to come here, but the policy announced today is likely to make people take risks, so we must be vigilant.
Fortunately, there was nothing to do overnight, and early the next morning, Li Qian put the county's household registration register in front of Wang Rong. He kept a detailed record of how many people there were in each household, and how many Ding Zhuang, women, children, and old people were counted in detail. There were 413 households in the city, with 2,065 people, including 550 Dingzhuang, 512 strong women, 800 old people, and 203 children.
Among the 203 children, there were 180 boys and only 23 girls, and the ratio of boys and girls was very outrageous.
Li Qian took the Tian book into the tent and said, "Captain, the field has been divided. ”
Wang Rong took the field book, looked at it carefully, and listened to Li Qian's report while flipping through it.
"Du Wei, Ding Zhuang has five acres of land per family, each strong woman has three acres of land, the old man has two acres of land, and the children have one acre of land each. A total of 6,089 acres, and the remaining 3,911 acres of land are in the hands of the county government. ”
Li Qian did not divide all the fields, firstly, because the existing farming tools were not enough to cultivate more land, and secondly, the county government needed land to support itself, and of course, it was impossible for the county government to cultivate the land itself.
Wang Rong said to Li Qian: "Uncle, now the county government has nearly 4,000 acres of land, and I am ready to use 3,000 acres of it as county land, and rent it to the people according to the average per capita share, and rent one stone of land. The remaining 911 acres of land are used as school fields to supply the schools in Mi County, with me as the principal and you as the vice principal, children under the age of 12 in Mi Cheng, regardless of boys and girls, must attend classes for half a day every day. There is no tuition fee, and one meal is managed at noon, and the meal money is paid by the county government. Children over the age of 12 who are willing to read can also come to the audit. There is no tuition fee, but there is no charge for food. ”
After Li Qian wrote it down carefully, he said with some embarrassment: "I have no objection to the distribution of land in this county. But this is sending this child to school, and I can't guarantee that they will send it. ”
Wang Rong said with a smile: "It's very easy to do, over seven years old, under twelve years old, regardless of boys and girls, if they don't come to class, the county government will increase the land endowment and increase the land rent." ”
Li Qian listened to Wang Rong's words, and had to shake his head helplessly, this young lieutenant really had a lot of ways in his head.
Wang Rong continued: "The allocated fields are called Juntian, and there is a tax of ten per mu. At the same time, the tax was abolished, and no fire consumption was levied, and miscellaneous pies were not levied. ”
Li Qian listened to Wang Rong's words, and his heart was excited, as long as there were no miscellaneous apportionments, the common people would have hope for the future.
Wang Rong continued: "I will sort out the law and military law at the same time and post them on the wooden board of the high platform, so that there will be a basis for judging the crimes and disputes in the city. ”
Li Qian thinks that this is the way it should be, since he has already given grace, he must have a time to establish authority, and the law is a sharp weapon for establishing authority. The most fundamental thing is that Wang Wei holds the land in his hands, and with this big killing weapon in his hands, he has the final say.
