Chapter 795: Home of Glory
Those servants were also ordinary people, who were conscripted to serve in the county, and at this time, they each beat the gong and beat the drums, accompanied by the sound of suona, which suddenly alarmed the people in Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi was built on the abandoned village, and the original Zhuangzi was broken, so the county and township simply organized these people, broke all the original dilapidated houses and sheds, re-planned it, and each household was given a piece of residential land. The horizontal and vertical planning is good, especially the village foundation after the folding is leveled, every family has a small courtyard, and there is a vegetable field behind.
Although everyone helped each other, the yard built was very simple, with mud walls and thatched roofs.
But the village cleaned and restored the well, and the drainage ditch was repaired in front of the door.
Even according to the above requirements, the county asked each household to build a thatched hut in the courtyard and dig a manure tank.
The village road is smooth.
Along the village, it also attracted living water around the village, built a village wall, and built the village gate.
This made the people feel much safer.
"The soldiers have returned home!"
Zuoshi in the county shouted loudly, this is also required by the above, and the government soldiers should be treated preferentially. If the family members of the government soldiers are killed or disabled in battle, their family members are the remnants of the martyrs, and they must be treated preferentially and cared for.
And these are not for talking, for show, the above specifically makes this pro-army preferential family a rigid standard for the assessment of local officials.
That's why everybody is taking it very seriously.
Ah Ling and the other nine people stood in front of the village, and each wore a big red cloth flower on his chest.
Zhuangzili.
The village chief took all the men, women and children in the village to put down their work and come out to greet them.
"Xu Huochang, they're back."
Liu Hushi smiled and said to the village chief who greeted him, "Village Chief Xu, these nine are the sons and daughters of our people, they go into battle for us to kill the enemy, defend the family and defend the country, but heroes, everyone must support and take care of them." This is the glorious home brand issued by the Ministry of War, every government soldier must be nailed, and where there is this brand, the village must take care of it. ”
The village chief is an old man in his fifties, and in the countryside, the older ones also have a lot of rich experience, such as agricultural experience and interpersonal experience, so letting these old people be the village chief is conducive to the stability of the village.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely support the army and give priority to our families, and now ask Liu Zuoshi to nail the glory card for our nine government soldiers!"
"Good!"
Liu Zuoshi took everyone to nail the sign door to door.
Xu Ling is the fire chief, so his glorious card was nailed first, and hundreds of people in the village followed, watching Liu Zuoshi and the village chief hang the big red glorious card on the top of the gate of the Xu family's courtyard.
Four big characters on the sign, Home of Glory.
There are also some small characters below, with the name of Xu Ling, the bow and arrow chief of the White Horse Military Mansion.
The cards are hanged.
Liu Zuoshi waved his hand, so the drummers played harder, and the old village chief also made the villagers cheer and applaud.
At this moment, Xu Ling stood at the door of his house, his heart surging, feeling extremely excited and proud.
Liu Zuoshi asked people to take another brand, but it was a brand with a sword and shield intersecting pattern, and there were four words under it.
"Hang this sign too, Xu Huochang is still a cloud captain."
The old village chief also put the icing on the cake at this time, and on behalf of the village, asked Xu Ling to serve as the militia leader of Chengnanzhuang.
"Old village chief, our support for the army is not just a matter of words, all aspects have been placed, has the land of Xu Huochang's family been divided, is the land preferred, is it the best, and Xu Huochang is usually on duty in the military government, has this family sent more people to take care of it?"
"Yes, there are five people in Xu Huochang's family, his parents plus a brother, and two younger sisters, his brother will be sixteen next year and has not yet entered the middle school, so we have given priority to the Xu family according to the above regulations to distribute 150 acres of land."
"Fifteen this year? It's going to be sixteen soon, and I don't think it's uncomfortable to give Xu Xiaodi fifty acres of land in advance. Also, how much of this land is mulberry fields on hillsides, how much is water land, and how much is dry land? ”
The old village chief replied one by one, saying that it was all given by the emperor, so we can now take root here, build houses and divide land. He also said that the land of the Xu family is the best, and the 150 acres of land divided, of which about 30 acres of sloping land is planted with mulberry hemp, and about 10 acres of mountainous land is planted with trees such as acacia jujubes, and about 110 acres of land can be planted with crops and grains, of which 30 acres of irrigated land can be watered, and the rest is sloping dry land, half of which needs to be rotated.
Liu Zuoshi listened carefully and remembered it in his heart.
In fact, the families of the eight soldiers of the government were also divided into fields.
Then Liu Zuoshi asked about the land distribution of the other 91 households in Zhuangzi, and the old village chief said truthfully that in the rest of the families, the men were allocated 60 acres of land for each ding, the women were allocated 30 acres, and the middle men were also 30 acres.
In addition, 500 acres of land were reserved for village schools and militia units, and the grain collected from these plots was later used exclusively for schools and militia units.
Liu Zuoshi estimated it in his heart and felt that what the old village chief said was basically true.
There are so many people in the county who have set aside a total of more than 500 people in this 100 households, including many men and women, even if the elderly over 60 years old and children under the age of 16 do not divide the land, there are still many people, and it is really not so much if you really want 100 acres per person.
Therefore, in the end, it is given priority to the families of the soldiers, and then to other people, and when it is divided, there will only be 60 acres per ding.
But the people in the village were still very happy.
These people, even if they were self-cultivated farmers in the past, did not have so many fields, not to mention many tenant farmers who used to be like Xu Ling's family.
Even if many of these 60 acres of land are relatively poor and need to be rotated and fallowed, at least the family is divided, and there are more than 100 acres of land, and those with a large population even have more than 100 acres of land.
Work hard, and you can definitely get better.
As long as there is land and land, everyone is not afraid, and as long as the peasants are willing to work, how can there be a reason for the land to be hungry.
Of course, many villagers were also very envious of Xu Ling and other nine government soldiers.
They originally had a piece of military land on the side of the military government, and the family here gave preferential treatment, and the land was divided into many places, and it was still good land. What's more, Xu Ling has merit and more fields.
"Since the land has been divided, let's set up the boundary stakes and work hard."
In the end, Liu Zuoshi comforted the villagers, said some words of encouragement, politely declined Xu Ling's family's request to invite him to dinner, and left with a smile and a wave.
Now that Daqin has newly established and reformed the rule of officials, it is very strict with local officials, especially local officials, who must be assessed for their posts and their performance.
Those county commanders and county lieutenants are not easy to fool, most of them are from the military, and now there are government soldiers everywhere around, which provokes them, but there is no good fruit to eat.
Besides, although the management is now strict, the above has also opened up a big road for their officials, as long as they perform well and have outstanding performance, they will also have the opportunity to be promoted.
It's not just a promotion to an officer, but a promotion to an official.
For example, Hu Cao Shi can be promoted to Cao Zuo, this is only a promotion of officials, but if Hu Cao Zuo does a good job, he can be promoted to the record, and even promoted to the main book, and the main book is a serious internal official.
With this stimulus, who doesn't want to seize this opportunity, maybe one day this good thing will be canceled.
