A few dozen miles west of Zaoyang City, there is an ancient city of the Han Dynasty. Because of the years, it has been abandoned and has no idea of ​​its origin. The Xinying Tianwu Yamen chosen by Du Zhongxiao is here. It is located between Zaoyang County and Xiangzhou, and is located in the middle of the river. It has convenient transportation and a sparse population.

On a sandy land next to the water, Du Zhongxiao looked at the more than 100 people standing in front of him and whispered: "You will settle here in the future. No matter where you come from, this place will be your home in the future. If nothing unexpected happens, your descendants will live here. This place is directly under the jurisdiction of the field management. You must be the best and become a role model for the field buying in other places. The general plan, I will tell you about it. This place has dozens of miles in circumference, and two thousand families are arranged. A total of 120,000 mu of land, 50,000 mu of paddy fields, and 70,000 mu of dry land. As long as you work hard, you will not have to worry about being a well-off family."

Everyone cheered.

Du Zhongxiao said again: "There are 1,500 households in the Xiang army that have moved here now. The remaining 500 households, either local or foreign, are invested by the people. From now on until next spring, we have to do two things. The first thing is to build houses, renovate water channels and level the land. Not far away, there is an ancient city of Han Dynasty, which was cultivated before and was densely populated. Now the roads and canals are all abandoned, and they are organized and rebuilt. The planned fields must be leveled before they can be cultivated in the future. If they cannot be well prepared in a year, then the area will be leveled first and then continued to do the next year. The second thing is different from Tangzhou, where the population is too sparse, and military garrison is implemented. It is tentatively set to draw one of the five Dings as the Battle Army of the Teaching and Reading. You are the people who were drawn out. You do your work and you train your army."

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "Is it hard to say whether it is hard to work or to be a soldier? But there is one thing I said before. If you take out the soldier, the first thing is that you cannot be afraid of hardship. If you feel that you can't endure hardship, tell it out as soon as possible so that you can replace people."

After saying that, Du Zhongxiao said to Commander Wei who was standing aside: "On the first day today, let's practice the military formation first. I have never brought soldiers to fight, and I am not familiar with the military formation, and I don't know how to practice. Commander Wei, if you take them, you will follow the way we were when we were harvesting wheat, one by one, one by one. Starting from the simplest, walk. You must walk neatly, line up, and not be confused. This will be the case today, and I will talk about it tomorrow. I have reported to the court and will send several warriors who have been through the battlefield here. When they come, they will decide on their affairs."

Commander Wei crossed his hands and said, "Du Zhongxiao left, and began to slander the troops.

Du Zhongxiao really didn't know how to practice. He was not familiar with the military formations of this era, and even more familiar with the military formations of later generations. In the early days, there was no concept of formations with muskets and cannons. I saw them on movies and TV, and only watched them lively, either horizontal or square formations. Not to mention the issue of the era, it is difficult to say whether the right thing was played on movies and TVs. It is probably not right to say whether the cold weapons were incorrect. Two formations of cold weapons were roaring, and they rushed up with a "screaming" shout, and they rushed up, holding swords and axes and chopping them all. There was no such thing in reality. Hot weapons were more complicated. Instead of believing in those, it was better to explore by yourself.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand military affairs. Du Zhongxiao wrote to the court and sent a few people who had fought wars and understood military affairs to train with him. More than 100,000 soldiers from the Fiber Locking Army who came to the field were drawn out according to the five-Ding army, and there were tens of thousands of troops, and there was no problem in setting up several chiefs and chiefs.

Although I don’t understand, the army must be neatly marching. The more rigorous the military appearance, the more combat effectiveness it is. Du Zhongxiao still knows. Whoever has not participated in military training several times will follow that and just follow it first.

Mr. Shi got off his horse and hurried into the house. He walked on the road in a hurry. He was full of big men. After sitting in the yard, he drank a few bowls of tea.

Shi Daqing heard the noise and came out of it. He said to Shi Yuanwai: "Dad, what's wrong with going to the county government this time? Why are you so panicked?"

Shi Yuanwai sighed, put the list of documents in his hand on the stone table, and said, "This is a new list of documents. The county will let the people tell you, so that everyone will know it. If the yamen does this, how can we live our lives in the future?"

Shi Daqing hurriedly picked up the list and took a rough look. It turned out to be the list of people who were recruiting the land, saying that it was not limited to local people from other places. As long as you go to the land, you can get a distribution of land, a household of fifty acres. The official loaned oxen and farm tools to help build houses, and paid the principal and interest after harvesting.

The most important thing is the following sentences, requiring that you must apply for the recruitment in one household, and no one is allowed to hire people or use servants.

The matter of land camping has been decided long ago. Shi Yuanwai and other local big-name households discussed it several times and have already made some mistakes. According to the past practice, the land camping business recruited people to cultivate is mostly to lay out land and make people point out. For the convenience of management, the land drawn by the yamen is often large and not suitable for each household, and often multiple families are together. Or the wealthy families hire people to farm after pointing out the land. Especially the latter method is the most popular among the yamen.

The reason for this is related to the management of the field. The so-called archery means that the government divides the fields to be built into blocks and then lists the preferential conditions. Generally, it is tax-free for three years. What kind of agricultural tools are loaned, how many seeds are, whether to raise the ox by yourself or only use it during the busy farming period, and how much interest is paid when the time comes. According to the list, the households choose the plot of their favorites and sign a contract with the government.

Not only is it difficult to manage each household, but the most troublesome thing is that there are always some people, and even most, after the three-year duty-free period expires, they will escape without a trace. The fields are opened, and they have just been planted in three years, and then they will be abandoned again. Let the big households point their fingers, give them preferential conditions, and let them hire people to farm and manage it. After three years, they can run away and monks can't run away from the temple.

This is like later generations, local governments often give various preferential conditions in order to attract enterprises. Some companies take advantage of loopholes to open factories in one place. Once the discount period arrives, they close the door immediately, and then start again in another place to continue to enjoy preferential policies.

According to past experience, several large households in Zaoyang discussed and divided the land in the county into several large households. The land plots within their own areas were directed by the large households and hired people to open up land. In this way, they not only enjoyed the preferential treatment of the yamen, but also recruited people to open land for their own households. The yamen collected more grain, and the large households expanded their land assets, and the best of both worlds.

Unexpectedly, the field business would apply for the recruitment one by one, and no major players were allowed to participate.

What a smart person in Shi Yuanwai can tell at a glance that this list of articles is powerful. In this way, not only the big families cannot take advantage, but even their own farmers are kept. The farmers are different from tenants. They rely on landlords and have no means of production at all. It is impossible to get half of the harvest after the tax is paid. In addition, they usually have to be slaves at the landlords' homes and do all kinds of work.

Without the farmer, how can a large household become a large household? There is so much land under your name, without the people, there will be no harvest. What is the use of it? More than this, there is land and land tax, and two taxes are not enough. Other servants, science and technology, and buying are divided into households according to family property. The more land, the higher the household, the heavier the burden. If you squeeze, you will not have to spend two years, all the rural households in Zaoyang will go bankrupt.

Shi Yuanwai was frightened by this list of articles. He came out of the county government and rushed back home all the way.

After reading the list, Shi Daqing said to Shi Yuanwai: "Dad, what does the list of the yamen mean? If we only allow one household to invest in the charge, we can't refer to the land of the field affairs of the Sheying Field Service. What the previous agreement was that the surrounding ten miles belonged to me, wouldn't it be a waste?"
