After listening to Liu Yan's words, everyone present was thinking in their hearts that the officers could also share the land, which was great. Although Tian Huixu, Dai Jingbin and others all occupy a large number of fertile land, no one will think that they have little land in their homes. It's just that each household can only divide 50 acres of land, and it seems that his family has to split a few more households and divide the fields.

Liu Yan said to Baihe Tian Hui: "Lao Tian, you have to restrain the sergeants these times and let them also participate in Tuntian." ”

Although the rebellious army under the two hundred households was eliminated, Liu Yan did not have hope for the remaining hundred households of Tian Huixu's subordinates. These sergeants are slowly incorporated into the tun army. The guardian force of the Thousand Households City is enough to have a few total troops under his command.

Tian Huixu was very diligent in running in and out with Liu Yan during this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials understand, there is land to divide." Those stinky boys must have run faster than anyone else. ”

Judging from Liu Yan's attitude towards executing the rebels, Tian Huixu knew that Liu Yan was approachable on the outside, but in fact, he was ruthless and had a strong desire to control, and there was nothing good to do against him. He knows what virtues his subordinates have, Liu Yan brought his thousands of soldiers to the city of thousands of households, and then expanded by as much as two times, his hundreds of soldiers are definitely useless, the only result is that they turn into a tun army.

Let's take the army to join the army, I believe that Liu Yan will not treat himself badly after seeing his attitude of cooperation. Tian Huixu thinks that Liu Yan is a person who values affection and righteousness, and it can be seen from his attitude towards the people around him that Tian Huixu's only attitude now is to hug Liu Yan's thighs and integrate himself into his circle.

After reading Tian Huixu's statement, Liu Yan nodded, this Tian Huixu still knows the current affairs.

After the decision to reclaim the wasteland, Liu Yan released another big bomb, which startled everyone present.

"What, my lord, do you mean that the tax and grain collection of the military households in the Thousand Households will be exempted next year?"

Dai Jingbin asked incredulously, and Bai Hu Tian Hui and the others also looked at Liu Yan in surprise. Previously, when Liu Yan said that when he reclaimed the wasteland in various parts of the Thousand Households City, everyone couldn't believe it, but he didn't expect Liu Yan to exempt the military households of the Thousand Households from the tax and grain collection next year.

Liu Yan nodded and sighed: "The people of the city of Qianhu are becoming more and more embarrassed, their income is not enough to support them, and the officials are also in distress. ”

Dai Jingbin muttered: "It's just that this doesn't collect grain, what will we rely on to pay for the amount of grain in our thousand-household city in the coming year?" ”

The imperial court stipulated that the annual tax and grain of 2,100 stone in the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village could not be beaten by iron, and would only increase. It will not decrease. No food is levied from military households. How to pay, Dai Jingbin can't even think of breaking his head.

Liu Yan pondered for a long time and said, "Master Dai doesn't have to worry about this matter, the official will find a way to solve it." ”

Dai Jingbin had no choice but to say: "There are adults who say this." Xia Guan was relieved. He sat down, scratching his head, trying to say something, but again he was silent.

Baitoda Huixu coughed, he wanted to integrate into Liu Yan's circle, and he had to consider Liu Yan when he asked himself, he reminded: "My lord, in addition to paying to the imperial court, part of this grain collection will also be used to support the military and civilian officials. There is no money to feed the family

The question that Teruo Momotoda said is clear. The funds and grains for the daily operation of the states and counties of Daming are the remaining reserves and surpluses after the money and grain are shipped every year.

After the local taxes and grain are collected, they complete the share of the national treasury, and the rest is at the disposal of the localities themselves, which is the retention.

The envy surplus is a small treasury independently controlled by the local state and county health centers, which generally comes from the additional consumption of the remaining field endowments, and the additional consumption of some black-hearted state and county health centers can reach four or five buckets per stone. In addition, there are all kinds of stolen silver, commercial taxes, and Cheng Xian silver. There are also new ginseng and salt leads, which are also the source of envy.

The surviving and surplus expenditures are generally office expenses in various places, and are used for disaster relief, construction, water conservancy and other public utilities. In the late Ming Dynasty, these expenses were generally used for banquets and gifts for officials in various places, or for officials and generals to support their families and fill their private pockets, etc., and there were also many places to make up for the regular amount of money and grain.

The first source of retention and envy is to collect taxes and grain from the military and civilian people, in order to retain more surpluses. In addition to regular taxes, there are also various common practices.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has developed to the present, and all the Weisuo prefectures and counties in various places have first levied the common practice from the military and civilians, and then they will fill their own small coffers, and then levy regular taxes. It doesn't matter if the amount of the positive tax is not collected, but the common practice is to collect it first in your own pocket. Layer by layer, from the upper officials to the officials below, and then to the lieutenant chiefs at all levels, etc. This is not the case.

Liu Yan will not levy taxes and grain next year, and the military households and ordinary people will get benefits, but this year, the officials at all levels in the city of Qianhu have no opportunity to get their hands on it, and they are afraid that they will hate Liu Yan to the bone. As for how Liu Yan will deal with the share of taxable grain in the imperial court next year, many people may not consider it, presumably they will think that Liu Yan intends to pass the customs in the form of arrears.

Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, Liu Yan will offend many people by doing this. Moreover, there are indeed some military officials in the city of Qianhusuo who are miserable, and they expect the guards to send grain for a long time, and there will be no tax and grain next year.

Tian Huixu thought that Liu Yan was young and did not understand the unspoken rules of officialdom, and he planned to take refuge in Liu Yan. So that he has a bright future, how can he want to see Liu Yan fall into the abyss from which he will never recover? So immediately make a reminder.

Liu Yan smiled and said, "Lao Tian, you sit." ”

Tian Huixu sat down, and Liu Yan said: "Your worries are not unreasonable, many sergeants and officials in the city of Qianhu rely on the money and food allocated from below, and the official will find a way to solve this matter." Not only that, but from next year. The official also had to raise the monthly money and food of the officials of the thousand households. The monthly grain and rice were increased to one stone, so that they could feed their parents, wives and children. ”

The monthly salaries of officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are no more than three or five buckets, and the same is true for the highest-ranking officials. Liu Yan increased the monthly spar to one stone, which was enough for their whole family to eat.

Listening to Liu Yan's words, Tian Huixu and the others were even more surprised, seeing that Liu Yan was full of confidence, it seemed that he was determined to make up his mind, but, where did he get the money?

At this time, Chen Xun asked: "Dare to ask my lord, next year, the city of Qianhu will not levy grain, what will happen to the food and salary of the sergeants of my forts?" ”

Liu Yan said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will approve the roster of soldiers in each fort, and the sergeants of each fort will not be short of their rations, clothing and food." ”

Chen Xun sat down reassuringly.

Liu Yan turned to Xun Jingyun, the magistrate: "From next year, this official will exempt thousands of military households from the collection of taxes and grain, and when you inspect various places, if anyone dares to disobey my decree and collect grain without permission, even if you arrest and interrogate, no matter who he is, I Liu Yan will punish him!" ”

His voice was stern, so that everyone present did not dare to come out, and Xun Jingyun, the pacification officer, stood up solemnly and gave his hand to take the order.

With his rigid appearance, no one would doubt that he would pervert the law for personal gain.

The affairs of the cities and forts of thousands of households are like this for the time being, and Liu Yan focuses on Wangjiazhuang.

He said to Chen Xun, the defender of Wangjiazhuang: "Lord Chen, from next year, I will start large-scale tuntian in the city of Qianhu, and a large number of irrigation wells and water trucks will be needed. You have to prepare the relevant tools to build. ”

Chen Xun said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, as long as the money, food and materials can keep up, the lower officials will handle everything properly." ”

Liu Yan smiled and said, "I don't doubt Lord Chen's ability. You ask the directors Tan Xiaoda and Xu Le to come to the city of Qianhusuo, and some craftsmen who can be used can just choose the past. ”

Liu Yan groaned: "Not only that, but in the future, Wangjiazhuang will also open a quilt factory, a wood factory, a lumber yard, a stone factory, a coal factory, and even a brick kiln, lime kiln and other workshops, you have to be prepared." ”

Liu Yan estimated that after the money and grain reserves were sufficient, he would have to train his troops on a large scale. Troop training requires a large number of iron, armor, uniforms, fire, artillery and other materials, so the material reserves on weekdays cannot be relaxed.

Chen Xun was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, the next official will not make a mistake." ”

Listening to the Q&A between Liu Yan and Chen Xun, Baihu Tian Hui and the others were dumbfounded, Liu Yan wants to do so many things, where did he get this kind of strength?

Liu Yan said: "These factories and workshops will be located near Dapanbao in the future, by the way, the road from Wangjiazhuang to Dapanbao, you organize people to repair it." ”

Chen Xun shouted again.

After the officers of each fort deliberated, soon, only within a few days, Liu Yan opened up the wasteland. The news that thousands of military households in the city would even be exempted from taxes and grain for next year spread in and outside the city.

Liu Yan exterminated the rebellious army of Qianhu City with the power of thunder, and established unprecedented prestige in the city of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village, and now he has divided the fields and land, exempted from taxes and grain, and the military people in Qianhu City couldn't believe it when they heard it. In fact, the Chinese people's desire for land is unlimited. The reason why no one is willing to reclaim wasteland is because the burden of taxes and grain is extremely heavy, the gains of reclaiming fields outweigh the losses, the so-called head-killing business is done, and no one does the business of losing money.

If the defense is really able to guarantee the division of the field. After that, the fields will be free of grain for the first year, and one bucket will be levied in the second year. If you recruit two fights in the third year and keep it the same, it is really a cloud of respondents, and I don't know if the defense lord is talking nonsense.

Of course, many people from the experience of Wangjiazhuang are sure that what the defense adults say must be true.

In the midst of a lot of discussions, on November 16, the Qianhu official hall really posted a notice, confirming that everyone's speculation was true.

In front of Xiahezhai, every military household in the city, with four to seven people in each household, can reclaim 50 acres of wasteland and register it; The government helped them build water wheels for irrigation wells and gave them farming tools for cattle. Furthermore. It will also exempt 1,000 military households in Suocheng from grain grains next year. If the displaced people outside the Qianqianhu in Xiahezhai are willing to join the military households in the Qianqianhukou in Xiahezhai, they will enjoy the same treatment.

For a time, the entire Thousand Households City was a sensation. The military households were overjoyed, and the news even spread quickly to the Lingshan Acropolis, and the integrity officer Hu Zongming and the commander Wang Weizhen were all taken aback when they heard this, and hurriedly recruited Liu Yan to come for questioning, and Liu Yan repeatedly assured them that next year, the tuntian seeds in the city of the thousand households in Xiahezhai will be paid in full and will never be in arrears.

After repeated explanations, the two of them were relieved. It's just that I don't understand what Liu Yan will take to pay when he arrives.

On the 17th, Liu Yan began to act, and when the officers and soldiers were in rebellion, the land of the rebellious generals confiscated by the city of Qianhu had more than 5,000 acres. Liu Yan gave 20 acres of each of these fields to the families of the people who were victims of the rebellion, and the families of the executed soldiers were also given 20 acres of land to each family.

After the officers and soldiers rebelled, the families of these rebels lived in fear in the hearts of Qianhu City, but they did not expect that the defense lord would give them land, and even most of them were good fields, and they were grateful. In the past few days, a large number of family members of the rebels have kowtowed to Liu Yan in front of the official hall of thousands of households to thank him.

Liu Yan came out to comfort them with warm words, saying that when he executed the rebels that day, he said that he would not harm his wife and daughter, as long as they lived in peace in the future and did not do anything wrong, he would still treat them as the people under his rule, and the families of these rebels were even more tearful.

The families of the victims who were assigned to the fields also came in large numbers to kowtow to Liu Yan to thank them, and Liu Yan also comforted them with the same gentle words.

With this example in front of you, who else doesn't believe it? For a time, thousands of military households in the city went out in all directions, although the weather was cold. It can't stop their enthusiasm for opening up wasteland, and there has been a lot of excitement inside and outside the city of Qianhu in the past few days, and even many military households from the surrounding military forts and guards have secretly rushed to join the military household registration of Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village, just so that they can also divide the fields and heirloom families to live, and there are many displaced people who come to hear the news.

At the same time, Tan Xiaoda and Xu Le came to the city of Qianhukou in front of Xiahezhai, swept away more than 100 warcraftsmen in Qianqianhukou of Xiahezhai, brought them to Wangjiazhuang City, and began to work hard, making waterwheels, armaments and other things.

Different from the Qianqian City of Xiahezhai, doing things in Wangjiazhuang, there are basic rations every month, how many weapons and equipment are made every time, and there are corresponding rewards, although the weather is cold, these craftsmen in Qianzhou Xiahezhai are full of great enthusiasm for work, and they can be described as doing fast and good.

Only the officials of the Qianhu City in front of Xiahezhai are in a complicated mood, Liu Yan is exempted from the military household grain next year, the military households are cheering, but they will have a lot less opportunities to get up and down next year, but Liu Yan is in front of Huwei, how dare they express their dissatisfaction? And Liu Yan also promised to increase their monthly salary, as long as they keep to themselves, they can support their families by working hard, and what should everyone choose.

In the same month, Liu Yan concentrated money and grain to expand the firearms supervision and armor supervision office in Wangjiazhuang again, and built Wangjiazhuang into his own armament manufacturing base.

Some people died, but not completely......
