Chapter 247 The World of Beasts
The vigorous changes on the land of Jiangnan began like this.
Census, land clearance, agricultural census...
Countless work is going on rapidly this winter. Although the cadre team is still lacking, fortunately, the people's requirements in this era are also very low.
Just the farmer has the same land.
All those who cultivate the land by themselves, regardless of their previous identity, tenants, serfs, and self-cultivated farmers, will continue to retain the land they cultivated. If they originally had no land, if they also wanted to farm, the official organized them to reclaim land, provide them with oxen and farm tools, and arrange guidance from agricultural technicians. In fact, it is to select some experienced old farmers from the people, and then the court will pay them wages to guide agriculture in various places, but to a greater extent, it is the exchange of agricultural experiences in various places.
This thing is not something that some young people can do when they are sprinting.
Inexperienced young people talk on paper, and once they cause large-scale production cuts, it will be troublesome.
In addition, with the help of these agricultural technicians, they spread new crops to the people, such as corn sweet potatoes, especially the former, although this is a pitiful low corn yield.
but……
That's better than nothing!
At least it can turn the originally worthless hills into farmland.
However, Jiangnan has a large population, and in fact there are not many wastelands available for reclaiming...
Well, this is what you want!
You see, the imperial court opened a new factory here, with a salary of more than 20 taels a year. Now a stone of brown rice is only five cents of silver, which is enough to plant more than ten acres of land. You don’t have to be exposed to the sun and rain, and you don’t have to worry about the disaster being gone. You can make money by opening your eyes.
Then your woman can also go to a textile factory and start with more than ten taels of silver a year.
A couple of people can support the farmers by working, and the factories, like militia, also have hospitals, schools and even entertainment facilities.
All pensions are available.
Since this is the case, why do you have to work so hard to open up land, especially the mountains and thin land?
Isn’t it good to be a worker in a state-owned enterprise in the Ming Dynasty?
If you think that working as a worker still makes less money, then you can join the army and start with three taels of silver a month, and then all the food and clothing are managed by the army. Three taels are purely given to you, and you don’t need to spend anything in the army. You can continue to be promoted if you make contributions to war or even be awarded titles. As for casualties, you need to be given a pension. Even if you retire normally, you will be assigned a job for you. At least you will be a guide to the militia.
Then the court keeps paying you a salary.
Even a woman.
Of course, this will take you to go out to expand your territory in the future.
But if I just don’t think about anything, I just want to have a piece of land to help my wife and children warm up the kang.
That's completely fine, but you need to wait and get more places to build. There are indeed very few wastelands in Jiangnan that have not been reclaimed.
But there are somewhere else!
No need to go far, Fengyang Mansion can reclaim wasteland everywhere.
Once you have captured the place, you can go and reclaim it. Each household will give you fifty acres first.
If Fengyang Mansion is not enough, we will continue to build more places. I heard that Nanyang has three familiarity every year. Don’t you like it?
However, before you can build more territory, you can only make a living by yourself. For example, if you suffer some hardship in those private factories? Although they do not have the benefits of state-owned enterprises, their wages are actually not low. In fact, many private factories are not inferior to those of state-owned enterprises.
Or go to the dock to carry a bag?
Do a small business?
Yang Dashuai encourages business, and it is also very comfortable to do a small business.
In short, you didn’t starve to death in the past, and of course you can’t starve to death now. At least you don’t have to pay the cap tax anymore. No matter how bad you are, there are still mines that can accommodate. As long as you are willing to endure hardships and work hard, Ma'anshan Iron Mine, Tongguanshan Copper Mine, and Niutoushan Coal Mine, the income of working in these mines is higher than that of ordinary urban workers!
What's more, the imperial court is still carrying out construction work everywhere, and you can eat even if you work odd jobs at various construction sites.
That's all.
Yang Dashuai fulfilled his promise to farmers who make up the majority of the population that farmed people have their own land, and also ensured the population needed to develop industry. After all, for urban population, it is impossible to really open up land. As long as the food price is always maintained at a better level than that of farmers, they will eventually choose industry. However, the current level of industrial development is obviously unable to accommodate all the excess population, so external development has become an inevitable choice. Those who are eager to obtain land will be full of yearning for development.
However, the cost of this kind of reform is relatively high, requiring a large amount of investment in the early stage, and in fact, it also requires a large amount of investment in the later stage.
Fortunately, Yang Dashui doesn't care about this.
At least he doesn't have to worry about this before the pile of honeysuckles in the palace is over.
but……
Not only did the pile of gold and silver not decrease, but it was getting more and more!
Sometimes when Yang Dashuai comes in and looks very distressed.
They are like they will grow, and the more they spend, the more they spend. If they take away one ingot of silver, they will soon produce two more ingots, take one million, and they will soon produce two million more, just like the legendary treasure pot, they will never be taken away. Of course, the gentry Susong who gave him two million, the gentry of Zhejiang who gave him one million, and the gentry of Huizhou who gave him three million, may have different views on this.
As for the honeysuckle in the palace...
That one is endless.
As long as Yang Dashui keeps his steps outward, the gold and silver will never be spent, or he will have achieved his goal before spending it.
In short, this winter in Jiangnan is just like this, I spent quietly in peace.
And at this moment.
North Korea.
In the frozen forest, a figure covered with animal skin was looking at the snowy wasteland outside with his cold eyes.
There are countless people who flee there.
They cried and supported the elderly and young, and pushed the cart with their packages on their backs. Many of them were obviously not civilians at the bottom. The Koreans of this era were very good at distinguishing their origins. Because they had no money to dye cloth, the bottom layer was all white. Only the rich and the upper layer were wearing dyed clothes...
Even the Li family prohibits people from wearing white, after all, their white is not really white.
But it's useless after all.
It is impossible for him to pay for the people to dye cloth.
At least one-third of these people who fled were of other colors.
"Master Beile, they are all fat sheep!"
said a man on his left, also wrapped in fur.
"What kind of fat sheep is this? Compared with the Han people, they are just a few pheasants."
The wild boar skin, who was in his prime, said.
"But if you don't eat pheasants, you won't have the strength to grab the fat sheep."
And one on his right said.
"It's right. Let's raise yourself first. Let's go and grab the fat sheep. Uh Yidu. Don't let anyone escape from them. If anyone is alive, we will be in trouble. Fei Yingdong, go and block them behind them. Others follow me. Men kill women and stay."
The wild boar skin pulled out his sword and said.
Pyongyang had already fallen. At this time, Li Zheng fled to Yizhou again and was crying at Li Rusong, and he was really finished with everything at this time.
The previous Kaesong defender asked him to fill in almost all the troops that North Korea could fight.
But the end result was that after half a year of defense, Kaicheng was captured by the Japanese army and then massacred the city. Quan Li committed suicide. Li Shunchen was re-activated and was useless. He just blocked the Japanese naval army at sea, but was eventually defeated. After Kaicheng fell, he led the navy to flee south.
It was already winter, and it was useless for him to go north, and there was no port to dock.
At this time, he should have led the navy to fight guerrillas along the coast. After all, there are a large number of islands and harbors not controlled by the Japanese army along the coast.
Li Bing had no choice but to escape to the Ming Dynasty.
But Li Rusong nodded, so he was staying in Yizhou and waiting.
During this period, the North Koreans who fled from the south to the north and rushed to follow their king. During this period, the wild boar skin that was bullied by Li Rusong would certainly not miss this opportunity to make a fuck. He entered North Korea from the upper reaches of the Yalu River like a hunting wolf pack, avoiding the Ming army in Kuandianliubao, and then plundered these refugees in North Korea.
Men don't want it.
The man would run to Li Rusong to report it, and Li Rusong would beat him up at that time.
But the woman is fine, and she will catch her and give her a breeding population.
The soldiers with standard barbarian shapes in the mountains and forests behind him immediately howled excitedly, really like a group of wild beasts...
"White slave!"
Suddenly, a scream came from the south.
The wild boar skin's gaze immediately turned to the south, and then he saw hundreds of cavalry appearing in the wilderness. These cavalry rode Korean horses, carrying brightly colored bags on their backs, holding spears in their hands, quickly caught up with the cries of the Korean refugees, and then began to kill. They were just alone, both men and women catching up and stabbed to death and trampling by. Soon, the white wasteland was corpses everywhere, and blood spreading everywhere, which was particularly eye-catching in the white.
The screams of the Koreans echoed among the mountains and forests.
Wild Boar Skin raised his hand and signaled his men not to move, and then looked at these short cavalrymen with interest. Although their height was generally not high, compared to these Japanese slaves, they were obviously at the level of giants.
"There is indeed a brave man, but with this little thing, what can I do if I braver?"
Uh Yi said with a smile.
The other Jiannu around them also laughed.
However, the Wild Boar Skin did not laugh. He had a close relationship with the Li family and had known for a long time that although these Japanese slaves looked funny, their actual combat effectiveness was not weak.
This is a battle.
The veterans who have been laughing for the last time in the troubled times for two hundred years are all experienced and experienced veterans, although their level of battle is a bit low.
He just watched the Japanese army killing outside. Just as these cavalry appeared in front of them, he suddenly raised his sword...
"Kill out!"
He said.
"Beller, kill them and ask Li Rusong for credit? But Li Rusong will use the excuse of crossing the line without authorization to deal with us."
Fei Yingdong said.
"No, kill them and then cooperate with the Japanese slaves!"
said the wild boar skin.
After saying that, he was the first to activate the war horse...
Chapter completed!
