Chapter 469: This Patriarch Doesn't Move
After Wan Hua finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask Tang Shan again: "Then Mr. Yi, how much land do we need to leave for self-sufficiency?" ”
Since Tang Shan made this proposal, he naturally had a plan in his heart, so Tang Shan replied: "Ten thousand acres!" As long as we leave 10,000 acres of land, with our yield of wheat, corn, and sweet potato, the annual harvest should be about 20,000 stones, which is enough to raise 3,000 soldiers! In this way, it also lays the foundation for the expansion of the defense team in the future! ”
When Wan Hua heard this, he couldn't help muttering: "Ten thousand acres!" Three thousand soldiers! It seems to be a little little! ”
At this time, Lao Tan couldn't help but say to Wanhua: "Big boss, I think this is a lot of 10,000 mu, after all, we are only a county, and we raise too many soldiers, that is, we will be fat with a swollen face!" ”
Tang Shan smiled slightly, and then said: "The leader doesn't need to worry too much, as long as the fields are divided into households, then the acres of land under our rule should be at least not less than 200,000 mu, calculated with their harvest of one stone per mu of field, that is also 200,000 stone of grain, and then calculated with a tax of 20 percent and 5, that is 50,000 stone of grain, if all these grains are used to raise soldiers, we can raise 7,000 soldiers, plus our own grain, enough to raise 10,000 soldiers!" This is already the maximum potential of rice fat! ”
Wanhua listened, this is the reassuring nod, although there are a lot of 3,000 soldiers, but after all, this is a troubled time, this is a troubled time to fill with human lives, 3,000 people and horses really can't cope with it, but if you can raise 10,000 soldiers and horses, this is about the same, after all, just like Lao Tan said, Mizhi is just a county, no matter how it is, there is a limit!
Thinking of this, Wan Hua smiled and said to Tang Shan: "Sir, why didn't you say it earlier, since you can raise 10,000 horses, what else do you have to worry about, then do it!" ”
Wan Hua said, after hesitating for a moment, he said again: "But we have to introduce regulations, in the future, every man under our rule has the obligation to join the army, and he must obey our arrangement, if he does not accept it, the whole family will expel Mizhi!" ”
Tang Shan and Lao Tan glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but nodded, this regulation is really necessary, after all, many people still don't dare to fight this kind of thing, if they need to recruit troops at that time, they won't come, who will protect this rice fat! What to use to fight the court!
After these were all negotiated, everyone was in their seats, and Wanhua said: "There is one more thing you have to grasp tightly, that is, before dividing the fields into households, establish a rural association subordinate to the Civil Affairs Department in each village!" ”
"Rural Society!"
Tang Shan and Lao Tan couldn't help but mutter.
Wan Hua smiled slightly, and said: "In the past, everything in these villages was discussed by the chief, the chief, and the patriarch, but this situation cannot appear under our rule, the chief, the chief of the first these systems are directly abolished, and the patriarch can not move for the time being, and it will be replaced by the rural association, and the villagers will be responsible for all the affairs of the village in the future!" ”
After thinking for a while, Tang Shan couldn't help but say: "In this way, the patriarch's rights are hollowed out!" ”
Lao Tan also nodded and said: "Yes, in this way, the patriarch will become an ornament, this is something that has not been done for thousands of years, the movement is so big, will it cause those patriarchs to resist!" These people don't look like they are all old bones, if they really have a seizure, the strength is not small! I'm afraid there will be chaos then! ”
Wanhua smiled slightly, and then said: "You don't have to worry, the patriarch will not move first, they will still be their patriarch, not only that, but also pull them into the rural society, so that they can drink tea and shake their feet in the countryside, and give them food every month in the future, so they can be comfortably raised!"
In the future, they can also express their opinions on anything in the village, but the minority obeys the majority, and we are the ones who call the shots! This patriarch system has existed for thousands of years, if you want to abolish him without bloodshed, you have to take some time, don't rush, take your time, fortunately, now is a troubled time, some things are easy to do! ”
Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been under the county, and the governance below the county level has relied on the local squires and patriarchs, the chiefs, and the chiefs, and Wanhua wants to establish a regime to the village, and they have become obstacles, so they must be kicked out one by one!
Now that the squire of Mizhi has been served by Wanhua, the chief and the first chief system will naturally be abolished together, this thing is not very difficult to do, that is, this patriarch system costs people's lives!
Since ancient times, anyone who can be the patriarch is a big person in the family, with high prestige, can be such a person, that is basically an elderly person, at this time their children and nephews, grandchildren are too many, don't look at them usually don't care about anything, but as soon as they take care of things, as soon as they open their mouths, they can kill people!
This is really not a joke, the patriarch can really decide the life and death of a clan, he said in a word, he said that the sinking pond will sink the pond, and if he says that he will be killed, the government will not care, you have nowhere to say, there are many such things!
So in the past thousands of years, an old man of a generation, his influence on a family is already immeasurable, as long as he is there, even if he can't walk or speak, it doesn't matter, this family can still maintain unity, just because this old man is here!
But if he is gone, how many families don't look at how united he is, how many people, but once the oldest old man is gone, the family will immediately disperse, and immediately fight for some things! There are more of these kinds of things!
Hearing Wanhua say this, Lao Tan and Tangshan are also a lot more relieved, they are afraid that Wanhua will be anxious, and then they will be in trouble!
Not long after, Tang Shan asked: "Chief, this time to establish a rural association in so many villages in Mizhi, I am afraid that there is a lot of shortage of directors of this rural association!" If the staff of the District Office are sent down, I am afraid that the District Office will not be able to operate at that time! ”
Wan Hua couldn't help frowning, this is a problem, this change, it is estimated that at least three or four hundred rural areas will pop up, where to find so many people to fill in this time!
Wanhua thought for a while, couldn't help but be brightened, and then said: "Yes, this time we fought with the official army, more than 80 brothers were seriously injured, and they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the future, since this is the case, then transfer all of them to the rural association and let them be the president of the rural association, so that it is also an arrangement for them, and we don't have to worry about their ability and loyalty!" What do you guys think? ”
When Lao Tan and Tang Shan heard this, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but nod, agreeing with this proposal.
