Chapter 82: Trying Tuntian
Who told everyone to underestimate He Bai before, thinking that He Bai was just a passerby. In Changshan Country, especially in Duxiang County, there is no half-point clan power, even if it is beneficial, it does not pull He Bai together. Now He Bai has occupied all of it as the owner of the ownerless land, even if this matter is stabbed to the imperial court, the imperial court cannot say that He Bai is wrong.
In the past, the borderless land was usually returned to the local government, but this time it was He Bai's own power to recapture the capital, and it stands to reason that it was naturally owned by He Bai personally. In order to completely eliminate the Black Mountain thieves, the court will not dare to ignore the interests of the heroes, but will be furious because the local tyrants have snatched and encroached on the interests of the heroes.
This matter is justified and well-founded, and no one can say anything against it. In the end, everyone who wanted to benefit had to bow to the ground and say: "I have had a lot of disrespect before waiting, and I hope Lord Du Wei will forgive me." I wonder if if we agree to take the prisoner to live in the capital, will the Captain be able to ...... us."
He Bai shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, the original good time has passed, but you are not sure, how can I be willing to fall and depend on you." ...... at most" Seeing the ears of the people lying on their stomachs, He Bai paused before saying: "The maximum price of grain purchase is only half the price on weekdays." ”
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, both food and land were half price, which was already a huge bargain compared to usual. It's just that compared to the previous white send-off, everyone still cried and shouted: "I would like to thank Lord Captain for his great kindness." ”
At this time, everyone regretted it in their hearts, and after the chaos, nearly sixty percent of the land in the capital township and county had no clear owner. If He Bai had not yet said the distribution method, even if He Bai gave the prisoners three or forty percent of the land, everyone could at least share more than two percent of the land, and these lands were basically obtained for nothing.
Now it's okay, why don't you divide it, and take it all for yourself. Do you want? Yes, you can buy it with money. This is the result of being too greedy, and everyone can't twist their arms and thighs, so they can only swallow this bitter fruit hard.
Seeing Luo Pei's blank face, it must be the first time he has seen such a thing. If there is no Taiyuan Taishou to lead the way, He Bai may also be played by these local tyrants as monkeys. He Bai whispered a few words in Luo Pei's ear again, and Luo Pei suddenly realized what this group of local tyrants were secretly planning. made Luo Pei, who was listening inexplicably, hateful. When he went to discuss the purchase of grain with the patriarchs, it was actually a matter of dividing up the fields in the county, and he showed his might, which made everyone complain.
He Bai sent Pegasus to Fu Xing and Che Jing's army to see if the two Black Mountain thieves had been defeated? There is also the matter of turning thieves into people, is it also making waves? If it is like the capital township, then use the same method to deal with the local tyrants in each county. Be sure to take the lion's share of the land, even if you don't plant, you have to occupy it in name first, and you must not take advantage of these greedy tyrants.
In this way, through this war, he can have more than 20,000 serfs in Changshan Country. If you follow the example of Taiyuan Taishou and encroach on the ownerless land in each county, you will own at least 5,000 hectares of land in these counties.
In addition, if someone has money, food and land at this time, and practices the method of tuntian. Hehe, in just one year, he can become a non-negligible earth overlord in Changshan Country. In order to prevent the Montenegrin thieves from making obstacles to deal with their own tuntian's plan, it was necessary to leave 300 or 500 soldiers to train troops in Changshan for self-defense.
It's just that this matter is just a delusional act of He Bai's whim, and if you want to make it a reality, you have to discuss it with others. And this general who stays in Changshan needs to be both wise and brave, and can rest assured in Tuntian, of course, the most important thing is loyalty.
He Bai thought about it, and it seemed that only Fu Xing and Li Ping could take on this role. Relatively speaking, Fu Xing is younger, and his overall growth in the future will be much higher than Li Ping, so only Li Ping can be qualified for this candidate for the general of Tuntian.
At noon on the second day, Luo Peifang came to report: "Lord Duwei, there are 470,000 mu of land in Duxiang County, in addition to the 210,000 mu originally owned by each family, 150,000 mu were purchased and half credited from Lord Duwei, and there are 110,000 mu left in Lord Duwei. Of the half-purchased and half-purchased fields, 50,000 mu were settled in cash, and the average transaction price of upper, middle and lower fields was 2,600 yuan per mu, and a total of 130 million yuan was collected. The remaining 100,000 mu will be privately owned by each family at an annual rent of 100,000 stones, which will be paid for ten consecutive years. ”
He Bai was stunned, 1 million stones in ten years? Are they willing to do this continuous loss-making business? It seems that they are all a little crazy for the land. It's just that this batch of grain is not easy to take, especially in the next year, Jizhou will belong to Yuan Shao, and food must be a dead control. Not...... Or it can be collected in the name of Zhongshan Zhen.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh, "Okay, good, 130 million money, 1 million stone of grain in ten years, and 110,000 acres of land left, this battle is really cool." Hey, no, how can a county with a population of more than 45,000 have 470,000 acres of land? ”
Luo Pei was stunned, and he didn't know why He Bai asked like this, but he still explained: "The people cultivate the fields in rotations. That is, one acre is cultivated every year, and two acres are idle to nourish the land. In the second year, one more acre will be cultivated, and the other two acres will be free......"
After Luo Pei's explanation, He Bai finally understood that at this time, because there was no fertilizer, the people could only use farm fertilizer for farming. However, the yield of farm fertilizer is not high, which inevitably makes the fertility of the land insufficient and becomes barren, so the rotation fallow farming method is adopted to let the land turn fertilizer by itself. In addition, the grain at this time is a tall plant, easy to underharvest and lodging, and the planting spacing is very large, and it is good to be able to harvest three stones of grain per acre. If you earn four or five koku, that's Ueda.
Therefore, each family, as long as there are five or six people in the family, needs to have at least 100 acres of land for rotation fallow planting to ensure the food of the whole family and the taxes of the court. As long as it is less than that, it will basically become poorer and poorer, and eventually become landless.
Luo Pei asked strangely, "Has Lord Du Wei never touched agriculture before?" ”
In fact, what Luo Pei wanted to say was that He Bai had never heard of farming at all, but He Bai once said that he was from a Han family, so it was impossible that he had not done farming. He Bai's old face flushed, how could he explain to Luo Pei that after 2,000 years, this farming matter would be different at all.
In later generations, there will be fertilizer, so why do you need to rest in empty fields. In later generations, there were hybrid rice, hybrid wheat, etc., and the harvest per mu was less than 1,000 catties, and there were two or three harvests a year, so there was basically no need to worry about food. How can it be the same as at this time, relying on the sky to eat, and there will be food shortages at every turn.
He Bai just explained casually, "Since I was a child, I have practiced with my father in the mountains, and I have learned a lot of miscellaneous studies, but I have less contact with agricultural affairs. ”
As a subordinate, Luo Pei is not easy to get to the bottom of the matter, so He Bai took the opportunity to write the Tuntian plan overnight and handed it over to Luo Pei for reference. As soon as Luo Pei saw the outline, he was stunned: "Changshan Tuntian Plan??? ”
He Bai said with a smile: "I originally planned to fight a battle in Changshan and leave, but I didn't want to have twists and turns in this matter of peace and security." Nowadays, there are so many fields and serfs, but it is difficult to let go at will. I want to send troops to supervise the serf fields in Changshan Country, and if I have any gains, I can find a production foundation for our army. Even if there is no war to fight on weekdays, there is no capture, and there is no way to sit on the empty mountain, and there is an endless stream of money and food to subsidize the soldiers. ”
Luo Pei's heart moved and asked, "I don't know how Lord Du Wei wants to subsidize the soldiers?" ”
He Bai groaned: "According to the county and state military system of the imperial court, the county soldiers can only receive the money if they are above the team rate, and the chiefs, captains, and ordinary soldiers only serve in the military, and even have to raise their own food. After the Taiyuan soldiers came, food, clothing, shelter and transportation were basically provided by the army, and although the treatment has improved, I think it is still far from enough. ”
"So I decided that the soldiers of Taiyuan County will have 3 stone of food per month and a military service subsidy of 200 yuan. At the same time, it also subsidized Wu Changyue's 5 stones, 300 yuan, and Shi Changyue's 8 stones, 500 yuan. Soldiers who have beheaded merit will also receive an additional subsidy, and they will be divided into middle soldiers of the first level of beheading, and the treatment will be the same as that of Wu Chang. Behead the superior pawns of the two ranks, and the treatment is the same as that of the chief. ”
"Beheading a fourth-level non-commissioned officer, if he has no official position, he can be a first-class non-commissioned officer, and the treatment is about the same as the team rate. After that, there are still 23, 4, 56 non-commissioned officers, and the decapitation merit must be twice as much as the previous level before they can be appointed. This is used to arrange meritorious soldiers who are unwilling or unable to become officers, and the treatment is the same as that of the general, the marquis of the army, the marquis of the army, the marquis of the army, the commander of the army, the commander of the army, and the appointment of the commander. In terms of subsidies, that's all I can think of at the moment, what do you think? ”
After hearing this, Luo Pei was ungrateful and bowed to the ground, and said: "With this subsidy, it is an ordinary soldier, even if there is no other labor and land in the family, you can support a family of three or five." Lord Lieutenant considers us carefully, like his own parents. No, my own parents don't have the all-encompassing love of my subordinates. ”
He Bai waved his hand, stepped forward to help Luo Pei again, and said: "I am the master of an army, and I am better to the soldiers under my command, isn't this the right thing to do?" Where is it good for you to say so. ”
Luo Pei wiped away his tears and smiled: "Whether Lord Du Wei is good or not, my subordinates know it in their hearts. It's just that there is something unknown to his subordinates, and I hope that Lord Du Wei will teach him......"
He Bai arched his hand and smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare." The increase in intelligence is not good, how can there be really unclear things, it must be that I have not been able to explain clearly, please try to increase it. ”
Luo Pei knocked on his forehead and thought about it, then he said: "The military position of the commander of a county was canceled when His Majesty Guangwu was born, and most of the soldiers of the county were commanded by Taishou, and the army Sima Zuozhi. Although the border county retains the official position of the governor, Taiyuan County is located in the inner county, which was not before. Therefore, the official position of Lord Commander should be Taiyuan Taishou has no ability to command the army, and he is temporarily appointed, not a long-term position. In the near future, it may be canceled, and the Captain will be transferred elsewhere. According to the previous county military system, the Taiyuan county soldiers only need to serve for two years, and after two years, they will re-recruit others as soldiers. ”
"What my subordinates don't know, is Lord Duwei's deliberate training of the Taiyuan soldiers who are about to disperse, and the generous soldiers who spend a lot of money to buy people's hearts, what is the matter?"
