Chapter 79
On this day, the people of Jinyang City ran around and told each other, their faces were full of joy. The reason was that the prefect actually wanted to distribute all the fields in Jinyang based on the population, regardless of gender, age, and age, which made them a little unbelievable, especially those fertile fields, which could produce four stones per mu, and were always in the hands of powerful people in the city. Many people could only pay their labor and barely get a meal every year.
After a while, the announcement group was crowded with people, looking at the announcement in disbelief.
"Oh...! Do you think this announcement is true?" Everyone said, "
"This must be true. Will the prefect deceive us? Think about it, when you are the prefect, let us build the city wall, you have agreed to pay ten yuan a day, and you won't give it to you one day! And there are big fish and meat in the meals. Have you ever encountered such a good thing?"
"That's right, the prefect will definitely not lie to us if you say anything. Besides, the aristocratic families in the city have been annihilated by the prefect, and all their lands have been confiscated. The prefect does not farm. Of course, these fields are left to us, the common people."
"That's not necessarily. Maybe the prefect broke his promise this time! After all, no reform was too tragic, and how many people would be realistic and do things for the people." Some people in the crowd said suspiciously.
"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise, everyone, look, the prefect is out."
Although the people doubted, they still struggled to move forward. After all, it was related to their good days in the future.
After all, the feeling of farming for others is completely different from farming for yourself.
Looking at the crowded people, Zifan also sighed, "The enthusiasm of the people is so high! Land is always the lifeblood of the people."
Guo Jia hurried forward and clasped his fists and said, "It's better to implement the policies of the lord, so that he can have a great harvest in the coming year."
"Go and go, don't do this. This flattery skills are really a bit perfect. It's a pity that I don't use this one, rolling up...!" Zifan looked at Guo Jia with a smile.
"Everyone, listen carefully to me." Zifan raised his hand and pressed down.
The crowd gradually became quiet. Zifan waited until the crowd calmed down and said: "In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for production and better realize the potential of labor and land, I decided to implement the responsibility of household contract responsibility."
"What is family contract responsibility?" someone below asked uncontrollably.
"The family contract responsibility system is an agricultural production responsibility system in which farmers contract land and other means of production and production tasks to collective economic organizations (mainly villages and groups) based on the family. They conduct production and operation independently in accordance with the contract provisions.
Except for paying a small part of its operating income to the collective and paying state taxes according to the contract, all of its operating income belongs to the farmers. As the contractor, the collective, in addition to the necessary coordination and management of certain industrial and side businesses, mainly provides production services to farmers.
After hearing Zifan's words, everyone immediately started to talk, "This policy is good. In this way, as long as you pay a certain amount of harvest every year, the rest will be ours."
"Yes! Thanks to the prefect, this way the people can have a good life."
According to the previous situation in Youzhou, Zifan was a little unbelievable. Basically, all the fertile land was in the hands of powerful people. All the people owned was barren land. After paying taxes every year, there was not much surplus grain. They could only farm for the rich households, and they had already received food. In this way, they could barely support the family and live a very difficult life.
Over the past few hundred years, it has gradually become a common practice to have more land. Some landlords and officials have rich land, so they find people to help them farm at extremely low prices, and they can keep them for sale if necessary. In this way, poor people will only become poorer and more powerful, and powerful people will only become richer.
"Oh, if you collect 50% of the harvest every year, you can make them so active. The days before them have made them suffer." Zifan sighed and said, looking at the people who are so active in the new policy.
"Yes...! They have been squeezed for too long, and only collected 50% of the grain every year, and the rest are the farmers themselves. This condition is indeed quite attractive to them, but once the land is distributed equally to the people, how much impact will this have on the aristocratic families in the world. If they share their interests with ordinary people, they will definitely hold a grudge and truly control Bingzhou in the future, and there will be unimaginable difficulties. The aristocratic families will definitely take revenge on us in the future." Guo Jia was also very impressed when he saw the scene in front of him.
Zifan thought for a while and nodded, "So this time I decided that as long as I have been farming for three years, the land will be the people's own. However, I still need to pay a certain proportion of grain to the government. This proportion will decrease as their cultivation years increase. Finally, when you have planted for twenty years, the payment ratio of these fields will be as high as 25% left. I don't know what you think."
This condition is much more attractive than the previous conditions. For farmers, land is the foundation for their survival. Therefore, the majority of farmers have a strong desire to possess land. As long as the land is state-owned and private, although the land rent has not changed, it can increase their enthusiasm many times.
Guo Jia was shocked and hurriedly said, "My lord, you must not. Although doing so can greatly increase the enthusiasm of farmers, it will anger the aristocratic families even more. They will definitely retaliate against us in a crazy way."
Guo Jia felt that his heart could not bear it anymore. His lord seemed to be against a noble family every time. I don’t know how he thought of such a wild method. It can be predicted that once the land shared by the people in Youzhou City would have a great impact on the aristocratic families in the world.
Distributing benefits to these ordinary people will also make the aristocratic families hold grudges.
"Guo Jia, don't say anything more. Do what I said, aristocratic family! One day I will completely eradicate the aristocratic family and the others," Zifan snorted coldly.
I also want to think about the soldiers who are bleeding and sweating. Who would have hoped that the war would come, not to live a better life.
Zifan's words also moved the generals on the field. This is his general, and for them, he is willing to fight against the aristocratic families in the world.
"The soldiers who fell into battle will be given tens of thousands of yuan. If there are elderly people in the family without children, I will send him old age and double the land to the soldiers' families." Zifan said in a deep voice.
On the same day, Zifan made a new announcement on the issue of the military farm system.
The next day, Xu Maogong took the new announcement to the crowd and read it out again. The conditions this time have two main changes compared with the previous one. One has made the land rent more expensive, from 50% to 60%. After listening to this change, the farmers who originally wanted to try it out couldn't help but retreat.
But when Zifan read out the second change, they were very excited, that is, as long as they obtained the land and cultivated for thirty years, they could get the land, but after obtaining the land, they still had to pay the land rent.
When the people heard that land could become their own private property, they suddenly became sensational and quickly ran up to sign and seal the documents.
All of a sudden, the people rushed forward one by one, rushing forward, rushing forward, rushing to sign an agreement and picking a good place, and the scene even lost control for a while.
Guo Jia had to ask Zifan for instructions and mobilized more than a thousand troops to maintain order, so he barely controlled the surging crowd at the scene.
In order to make the people actively join the army, if the land distribution has a great impact on the people, the treatment of soldiers' families will make all the people excited. As long as there are people in their families, the tax will be reduced by 10%. If one day they die on the battlefield, there will be pensions to be received. It is simply a pride to become a soldier in Youzhou.
"I didn't hear that Zhao Ergou from the neighboring village was just a small cavalry soldier. Look at the family's family was assigned eight acres of fertile land. I heard that I still have money to marry a delicate young wife."
"I have such a good thing when I was a soldier, and I only heard it in my lifetime."
"Of course, I heard that we will continue to recruit soldiers now. Our kid is ready to sign up now."
Being a soldier to defend the country is a lie. It’s not that you want to make a living by making a living to your family.
Zifan also began the biggest move in the history of the army, changing the current situation of the army, and truly mobilizing every soldier to let them see why they join the army and the benefits of joining the army. The monthly military pay for ordinary soldiers is fifty cents, eighty cents in squad leader, and one hundred cents in squad leader.
The battle is to behead one head and give a title to one level, and those who want to be an official are fifty stones." This means the reward method: the general soldier kills one enemy's head and one level of title in the war, and can be an official of fifty stones: two enemy head and two level of titles, and can be an official of hundreds of stones. The titles at all levels are stipulated to occupy land, houses, slaves, and clothing.
The treatment of cavalry is even doubled. As long as ordinary soldiers perform well, they can become officials. Each soldier's performance will be reported by the leader.
