Chapter 666: Big Change(2/2)

Regarding such a good thing, the people in Huating County rushed to tell each other, their faces full of joy.

After all, the Governor issued an announcement to all the refugees, Shanyue people, and local people.

All men, women, old and young can be allocated fields according to their population.

This makes everyone a bit unbelievable, especially those fertile fields with an output of up to five dan per mu, which have always been in the hands of powerful people.

Many people can only make ends meet by renting crops or paying labor costs.

Of course, farming for others and farming for yourself are two different feelings.

Of course, as soon as this news came out, many people questioned the authenticity of the matter, which also led to rumors flying all over the city.

"Don't believe it, something happened some time ago. Several aristocratic families in the city rebelled and were wiped out by the Governor. All their fields were confiscated. In addition, the Governor also paid for many fields in Huating County and planned to distribute the fields to us.

, you must not hide the population of your family, otherwise it will be much less."

A commoner who heard the news lowered his voice.

"Who believes it! The Governor is not a fool. How could he spend his own money to be so kind to us unrelated people? Besides, the confiscated land is usually distributed to the officials under his command. This has been done in the past. What's more,

Is he willing to give up so much land?" someone retorted.

"It seems that you have never worked for the governor. Ask the people who built the new city. They have at least one meat dish for three meals a day, and they have 50 coins a day. Have you ever encountered this before?

Is it a good thing? Besides, the Grand Governor said that this is a land allocation system under a contract system. This land does not allow us to buy and sell it freely, but it is only planted for us free of charge."

"Even free planting is a huge amount of income. Isn't it guaranteed in the announcement that as long as everyone manages the fields seriously, the Governor will never take it back? How could the Governor lie to us if he keeps his promise?" Lan.

"I've also heard that I came from Jiangning. As long as I am naturalized in Huating County, I can be assigned a field. In the future, my wife will farm and I will go out to work, and then good days will come."

Although the people did not understand what it meant to allocate land under the contract system, they still could not stop wanting to try it.

Spring plowing will begin soon. It would be better if we could allocate a few acres of land. There might be some surplus grain next year.

Yang Fan strongly advocated the distribution of land according to the population contract system.

The situation in Huating County made him somewhat unbelievable. Basically all the fertile land was in the hands of a few big families.

All the people owned was some barren and remote land.

After these people farm and pay taxes every year, they don't have much leftover food. They can only rely on fishing or farming for aristocratic families to barely feed their families. Life is extremely difficult.

The land contracting system under the responsibility system means that although people do not have the right to buy and sell land, they can plant it for free, which is definitely the first of its kind in history.

Quan Wanji felt that his heart couldn't bear it.

I don’t know where the governor learned it from, it seems that everything he does is a struggle with the family.

It is foreseeable that once the land is actually contracted to the people, it will have a huge impact on the world's aristocratic families.

After all, if people in other states and counties know this, who will be willing to farm for those aristocratic families?

If we talk about annihilating the aristocratic families in Huating County, we don't need to care about the aristocratic families in other places.

Those aristocratic families who allocate their fields to ordinary people will definitely rebound.

After all, those aristocratic families would be afraid that Yang Fan would do the same in other states and counties.

"You don't need to persuade me, just do what I say. This is what you have to do under the rule of this governor. Why do you follow me and support me? Is it just to have a full meal? If this can't satisfy them, I will still

Do you deserve to be the governor? As for what those aristocratic families think, don’t worry about it. You can’t let the aristocratic families take all the benefits.”

Yang Fan's words made everyone in the venue realize that they naturally knew what the people wanted most.

But Yang Fan will inevitably become a thorn in the hearts of the Jiangnan gentry.

Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Yang Fan continued: "In the future, except for those who are eliminated, the soldiers under the command of the capital will have lifelong tenure. Those who are killed in battle will receive a pension of 1,000 yuan, and the land allocated to their families will be doubled without taxation. The disabled will be under the supervision of the governor.

The government provides for their living and raises their children and olds until adulthood. Anyone who serves as a soldier does not need to pay taxes on his family."

If the purpose of allocating fields to the common people just now was to win over people's hearts, then this policy made the sergeants present speechless and choked.

They could even imagine the excitement of the soldiers.

What is the purpose of being a soldier?

Protect your home and country?

That’s just official talk!

In fact, the ultimate goal is to find a way to survive.

With Yang Fan's favorable conditions, no soldier would dare not obey.

Everyone knows that once this move is made, no one will be able to instigate rebellion against the officers and soldiers of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Okay, if anyone has an opinion, just say it. If not, it's settled." Yang Fan looked around at everyone.

The corners of Quan Wanji's mouth moved.

He wanted to say that this was against the military system of the Tang Dynasty, but looking at the excitement of the generals, he had no doubt that if he put forward different opinions, these generals would eat him.

Yang Fan didn't feel at all how shocking his behavior was.

Since it is decided to professionalize military personnel, the treatment must be the best.

Only by making everyone proud to be a soldier can we have a goal to strive for.

If an army wants to have combat effectiveness, it must have nothing to worry about. What Yang Fan has to do is to make his soldiers dare to face anyone.

News spreads quickly.

Within a few days, all the people in Huating County were informed of the news, and it even spread to other prefectures and counties soon.

"Everyone in Huating County can be allocated half an acre of fertile land, one acre of middle field, and two acres of lower field. There are four people in my family, and they will be allocated two acres of fertile land, four acres of middle field, and eight acres of lower field. It seems that it will not happen this year.

I’m hungry.”

A common man clasped his hands and counted, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.

Although his family's land was expropriated before, he not only received compensation.

Now we have been allocated significantly more land, including two acres of good farmland and four acres of medium farmland, which is an unexpected surprise.

What the people pursue is very simple, as long as they can have enough food and clothing.

"What are you talking about? I haven't seen that Wang Lao Er's family. I never thought that his boy could only wield a sword and a gun. I heard that he was directly recruited as a soldier this time and was assigned four acres of fertile land and more than ten acres of middle land.

And there are no taxes." Lan

The people nearby were shocked. With the same population, they lived in fields several times larger than theirs, and they didn't have to pay taxes. This meant that all the grain they received belonged to them.

"There is such a good thing. My boy is also a soldier, so why not!"

"Haha, the government soldiers are not professional soldiers serving the governor. Of course there are none. It is said that as long as they have professional skills, once they are hired by the governor, they can be allocated more land."

"My boss is good at blacksmithing. I wonder if he would like it. Why don't we let him try it?"

"Of course you can. Didn't the Grand Governor say that anyone with skills will do? I heard that many businessmen have gone there!"

If the division of land had a great impact on the people, then the treatment of soldiers or people with various skills made all the people excited.

As long as someone in the family serves as a soldier, there is no need to pay taxes. As long as those with skills can get more land, this is simply a great benefit.

One pass to ten, ten to a hundred...

Everyone wants their relatives and friends with skills to apply for the job as a governor.

These policies not only allowed the soldiers under Yang Fan to train harder, but also brought many craftsmen and talents to the construction of the new city.

Of course, the influx of many people has also provided Huating County with unlimited vitality and potential.

Under Yang Fan's drastic reforms, the entire Huating County military and civilians are united, and it can be said that changes are changing day by day.

At this point, Yang Fan ordered Fa Sui in the entire Huating County, and there was no longer a voice of opposition.
