Chapter 531 Yang's Land Reform Law

Looking at the chaotic city wall in the explosion smoke below, Yang Xin threw another grenade with satisfaction, and then picked up his loudspeaker again.

"I announce it here."

He shouted to the laughing people in the city.

The latter stopped immediately.

At the same time, the falling grenade exploded immediately. Chen Tingyang and others below continued to perform their panic. After all, no one expected that this thing could be used to do this. If he kept throwing it like this, he would be defensive...

"First, Shi Nu.

In Wuxi and Jiangyin counties, all those who keep slaves will be investigated according to the Taizu system. Those who do not have the right to hold slaves will be released as good people. Those who have the right to hold slaves will be released as good people. Those who have the right to hold slaves will be released as good people. All the freed slaves will be distributed by the original owner for five taels of silver to be resettled. Those who are willing to continue to stay in the original owner's home will be considered as hiring workers. Those who do not want to register can be resettled by the official separately."

Yang Xin shouted.

There was no one in the Taizu system to acquire slavery.

There are only twelve first-rank officials in the Taizu system. It is estimated that the former prefect and the Wuxi magistrate have the right to raise a few slaves in the city of Wuxi.

The gentry has no power.

The gentry looked at him speechlessly.

The people immediately cheered...

It’s not that there are too many slaves here, but that after a large number of slaves are released, the bachelors will immediately have hope. After all, when the ratio of men and women is similar, how many of the hundreds or thousands of little maids in the gentry’s back house have caused the gentry to be a bachelor? The gentry’s back house will always have more women and fewer men.

Especially those singers and dancers, etc., which ruined the dream of many young men's daughter-in-law.

"Second, check the land property.

All land in Wuxi and Jiangyin counties will be re-inspected. If each household exceeds 30 acres, the excess will be confiscated. The original farmer, whether the slaves or tenants, will be changed to militias. Everything will be disposed of according to the current system implemented in Zhaoyi City. In addition, for the confiscation of more than 30 to 100 acres, manure coupons will be issued as compensation according to the market price. The manure coupons can be used to purchase bird droppings. For confiscated parts of more than 100 acres, a land reclamation certificate will be given as compensation. The land reclamation is chosen by yourself, whether in Sichuan, Guangxi, or Taiwan. The new land reclamation will never be subject to the Taizu system."

Yang Xin continued to shout.

This time, there were crazy cheers.

As for the gentry's curse that beat their chests and stamped their feet, this was completely submerged.

A standard line of thirty acres is enough.

At this time, even if a household in Jiangnan is a normal family, thirty acres are at most a rich peasant, so there is no need to make trouble for these people. But if he replaces bird droppings between thirty and one hundred acres, he just needs to change bird droppings. Although his current bird droppings are just enough for him to use, he didn't say he could exchange them now. Of course, he couldn't exchange them if he didn't. When he had them, he would fulfill his promise after a hundred years.

It won't be too late, either.

He is ready to dig in the Dongsha Islands.

As for the land reclamation certificate...

Just give some compensation symbolically, and you are willing to go better or not.

In fact, some exiled gentry in Zhenjiang, Wujin and other places had already gone to Sichuan to clear the land. The big landlords really would rather die than surrender, but the small landlords could not afford to spend it. They could at least eat to go to Sichuan to clear the land, and they had no other livelihoods to stay in Zhenjiang. So many of them had gone to Sichuan one after another. Although it was impossible to have fertile fields in the Chengdu plain, the harvest of land reclamation in the hilly areas in eastern Sichuan was still good, and there were other things that could not be planted with rice.

These little landlords are not the kind who don’t know anything about agriculture. In fact, they are also proficient in farming.

This way, they can force them to separate their families. For example, those who have several sons have some of them, some of them can be renovated by thirty acres left for them.

This also reduces resistance.

The self-cultivated farmer will not resist, and the rich peasant will not resist, so the little landlord will endure it by pinching his nose.

The real unlucky ones are the big landlords, especially those wealthy families who control thousands of thousands of acres of land that control tens of thousands of acres of land, but no one follows them if they want to resist. After all, Yang Xin’s energy is limited now, mainly because the cadre team is limited, and he cannot play with the real land reform. He can only complete it quickly in this way, and then let this land that was originally mature in Suhu and the world become the granary of this country again, and maximize the grain supply to cope with the upcoming natural disasters.

"Governor, what should we do if we have a computer customer?"

A man below shouted.

This problem also needs to be faced seriously, because Wuxi is not entirely an agricultural city, there are also a large number of machine owners, including a large number of other non-agricultural populations.

"Third, for the non-agricultural population of the two counties, everything remains the same, but the taxes on donations and miscellaneous taxes are abolished, only the silver and corvee discounts are retained, and the others are all cancelled. Of course, the merchant's commercial tax still needs to be paid. If there is no livelihood, the registration will be placed separately by the official.

You can rest assured that if you have my official meal, you won’t let you be hungry. In the past, there were many machine owners, boatmen, and craftsmen from all walks of life. Which one of them is not doing well now? I have opened a bunch of factories in Zhaoyi City. Not all of them have opened their own factories to receive people? Not to mention anything else, I have been recruiting people in Zhaoyi City. As far as I know, some people who live in Wuxi have gone there.

So do you still need to worry?”

Yang Xin said.

Of course, he didn't say how much the Yang family had filled in it over the years.

In fact, this problem existed in the first place.

Zhaoyi City is not a real land reform, but simply turns the original tenants into self-cultivated farmers. However, the local non-agricultural population is not distributed to the land because of this. However, thanks to the internal industry and commerce driven by the Yang family, the vast majority of non-agricultural population were not affected much. The machine owners were indeed affected, but Zhenjiang and Wujin were not textile bases, and the number of machine owners was relatively small. Moreover, Yang Xin brought a lot of new industry and commerce, especially his uncontrollable canning processing, which absorbed a large number of workers. The machine owners who were unemployed because they no longer planted cotton locally were all absorbed into canning processing and supporting industries.

But the Yang family still loses money instead of making money in the canning process.

Make money, too.

But the profits are not much lost.

You canned pots make money by simply making money, but the money you earn is not enough to fill in canned iron cans.

Fortunately, Governor Yang has many ways to make money, and he also has corruption, bribery, and has made money to support him. Therefore, the Yang family can still afford this beast that can be called a gold-swalking beast, but it won’t take long. In fact, when Nine Thousand Years of the North was in Zhili this year, he had already started to buy Yang Xin’s strategic reserve canned foods, and even the grain supply in Liaodong had begun to add these canned foods.

Soon those strategic reserve canned food will recover costs and make a big profit, and Yang Xin will continue to expand the canned food industry in the next few decades.

The Ming Dynasty will have to rely on this thing to support it in the next few decades.

But this has nothing to do with these ordinary people.

They just need to know that Governor Yang would not ignore them, and the non-agricultural population in Zhaoyi City is indeed very good, because local food is cheap, their income can also ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and they are even slightly stronger than those farmers.

"So now, I've explained everything clearly, how do you guys do it?"

Yang Xin shouted.

"Open the city gate to welcome the governor!"

One person shouted.

"Open the city gate to welcome the governor!"

"Open the city gate!"

...

Then countless shouts rang out.

"you……"

Chen Tingyang raised his gun and roared angrily.

He Gang next to him grabbed him. He looked at He Gang, and finally sighed helplessly, then put down his gun with grief and anger. Now any struggle is futile. They will never be able to defend this city that is destined to be unable to defend under such circumstances. Although these people have not taken action now, they will flock out when the bandits officially start to attack the city.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Chen Tingyang gritted his teeth and said.

This is their only choice, and Wuxi can no longer hold on.

If he defended here, not only would there be no hope, but Yang Xin would take down the army in one fell swoop, and then he would go south unimpeded. At that time, even if Xu Du sent troops to reinforce, they would not be able to wait.

The only option is to retreat, and then defend the area of ​​Wangting and Hushu Pass to wait for assistance. There is the second line of defense they designed. Wangting has a bastion forward, and there is a bastion group behind Hushu Pass. It continues to block the area until Xu Du's army arrives. In addition, I also hope that there will be good news in the capital. In short, you can't be taken in Wuxi City, otherwise Suzhou will be over. Once Suzhou is over, Yang Xin will divide his troops to deal with Songjiang, and then Susong's two palaces fall into his hands.

He Gang nodded.

"Retreat? What should we do if you retreat?"

Hua Yunyi was stunned, and he looked at the two of them in shock.

"Brother Long Chao, we will be back."

He Gang patted his shoulder and said.

"You are back? What are you going to get back? Don't you know what will happen after the tenants have divided the land? You are back? You can't even open Huxi Fortress and can't defeat them in the field battle. How can you come back? We have followed you for three years and spent countless money. Now that things are coming, you are going to throw us to them?"

Hua Yunyi shouted like an outbreak.

The local gentry in Wuxi were all dumbfounded. They were all crying and beat their chests and stamping their feet. When they heard that Chen Tingyang and the others were about to retreat, they immediately rushed over like crazy. Chen Tingyang and the others lowered their heads and waved their hands to their subordinates. The soldiers immediately held their guns and pushed them away. The latter cursed like a collapse, spitting at them, and taking off their shoes to smash them. Chen Tingyang and the others knew that they were in the wrong, so they lowered their heads and quickly squeezed into their subordinates.

Hua Yunyi stood there and cried with tears in his eyes.

Suddenly he raised his head.

Governor Yang was looking at him with a smile on his head...

"He, Hejianhou, Hua was entangled by them."

He said with difficulty pushing out a smile.

"This, I need to investigate it carefully."

Yang Xin said.

"Fifty thousand, 50,000 taels of silver rewarded troops, and 50,000 stones of rice!"

Hua Yunyi raised one hand without hesitation and said.

"make a deal!"
Chapter completed!
