Chapter 166 Wang Shiheng rebuilt the military system
In the land of Guangnan, the Hakka family is weak, so as soon as he heard Fang Cai's words, he immediately thought that he was going to be betrayed by the imperial court again, and it was inevitable that there would be chaos, but now seeing Wang Yan's reassurance, Chen Guangsi couldn't help but think of Wang Yan on the mountain, holding his hand and saying words, and his heart was a little calm.
Wang Yan saw that the two of them were in a stable mood, and then motioned for them to get up and do a good job, and then continued: "The Governor knows the worries of the Hakka people very well, so since the Governor has decided to move the Hakka people in Guangnan as much as possible, he will definitely not let you and others be homeless and have no land to cultivate. ”
Wang Yan's words shocked the hearts of everyone present, if the guests can really be moved, then the goal of the Guangnan villagers will be achieved, and after the guests move to other places, the court can allocate houses and fields, and the guests will naturally not be unwilling in their hearts, after all, no one wants to conflict with the Guangnan villagers every once in a while, and no one wants to be surrounded by people on the mountain and live in fear.
The people all pursue stability, and the people of the Tuke are no exception, but the key to Wang Yan's strategy is to have a piece of land without a territory to settle the Hakka people, if not, everything is not valid.
"You may not know that the governor has placed 300,000 people in Yangzhou in Qiongzhou Mansion and followed the governor all the way south." Wang Yan saw that everyone was looking at him, and there was a lot of expectation on his face, so he continued: "Although this Qiongzhou Mansion is isolated overseas and is regarded as a foreign place, you may not know that he has a radius of 600 miles, which is larger than the entire Guangnan, and in such a vast land, there are only 500,000 people, even if you add the 300,000 people who have just entered the island, it is less than one million. However, there are only 20,000 Hakka families in Quang Nam Prefecture, more than 200,000 people, and there is no problem at all in moving to the island. ”
After Li Guangsi and Wang Xiu'an heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up, "It's bigger than Guangnan, how much land do you have to open?" ”
It's just that in addition to the shock, they are still a little uneasy in their hearts, after all, they already have some family business, but now they have to give up all of them and move to a strange place, human nature makes them feel anxious, "Grandpa Guo~ The grass people heard that Qiongzhou Mansion is a place for exile prisoners, where poisonous insects are prevalent and there are many miasma, can we really survive in Qiongzhou Mansion?" ”
When Chen Bangyan heard this, he got up and explained for Wang Yan: "At this point, the two old men can rest assured, if Qiongzhou cannot survive, Grandpa Guo will definitely not put the 300,000 people who have accompanied him all the way in danger." You know, they are not refugees, but the family members of the Guogong army and the followers of the Guogong. Now that they have settled in Qiongzhou, what do the two fathers have to worry about? ”
When Li and Wang heard this, they completely relieved themselves.
Wang Yan also continued: "After the guests move into Qiongzhou, the government will provide the guests with tools, rice and grain, and help the guests build houses, and each guest family will go to the island and reclaim the land, which will be tax-free for three years, and after three years, each guest household can get ten acres of fertile land, and the rest of the land will be returned to the government, but the people who reclaim it have the right to rent seeds first." As for the land of the Hakka in Guangnan, the government will take it back at the market price, and of course, the Hakka can also choose to replace the land of Qiongzhou with the land of Guangnan. Do the two old men think such conditions are feasible? ”
When the Hakka people came to the land of Guangnan, they could only open some dry fields on the hills, but even so, they were still squeezed by the people of Guangnan, and now they have heard such favorable conditions, so they naturally have no objections.
At that moment, Li and Wang immediately bowed and said: "The grace of the country, the guests will not forget it for generations, and everything will be arranged by the government." ”
The problem of the guest people was solved, but the villagers of Quang Nam were a little anxious.
"Grandpa Guo, in this fight, the people of Quang Nam have suffered heavy losses, after the guests move away, will they use these lands to compensate us for the losses?" The old man of the Xie clan, seeing that Wang Yan was kind, pretended to be bold to mention.
Weapon fighting should have been strictly prohibited, and if the government gave compensation, wouldn't it encourage the wind of weapon fighting, so that the majesty of the government would not exist, so when Wang Yan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "This weapon fight, regardless of the Tuke, has suffered huge losses, and they are all dead and strong, so there is no one to compensate whom." ”
When the four Guangnan villagers heard Wang Yan's words, their faces couldn't help but look ugly for a while, what the villagers were fighting for was land, and if they couldn't get the land, they would nearly 10,000 villagers, and they wouldn't be dead.
"The land was exchanged by the government for money, so naturally it could not be given free of charge, but the governor knew that the villagers of Quang Nam were poor and needed land very much, so he thought of a countermeasure in his heart, so that the villagers of Quang Nam could obtain land, and the government could also benefit from it." Wang Yan looked at them with a look of disappointment on his face, but said with a smile: "I don't know the four villagers, would you like to hear it?" ”
When the four of them heard this, they immediately raised their heads and saluted happily: "We are willing to listen to the policy of the national government." ”
Wang Yan said: "If there is a ban today, there are northern captives and southern invasions outside, and bandits are rampant inside, this governor wants to rebuild the Tang Dynasty government soldiers and protect the peace of Guangdong, so it is decided to distribute these lands to the government soldiers for cultivation." If selected, each household will be exempted from miscellaneous labor and 10 acres of land tax, and the government will also take out 5 acres of land from the recovered land for cultivation. The government soldiers can cultivate when they are farming, practice in their spare time, and assist the officers and soldiers when they occupy the time, and the governor guarantees that all government soldiers will never leave Guangdong to fight. Four villagers, what do you think? ”
The four of them didn't understand what the Tang Dynasty soldiers were, but they could hear that the conditions were generous, but now that the guard system is corrupt, the soldiers and people who have fled from the guard have calmed them down.
"Grandpa Guo, what is the difference between the military system of this government and the guard, after joining, will it be changed to a military registration immediately?" Xie Wencai asked with some hesitation.
The failure of the guard system made the military registration turn lowly, and the bad image and low status of the Ming army made the officers and soldiers not respected by the world, and even looked down upon, so the children of good families, no one would be willing to join the army unless they had to.
Wang Yan knew that the four of them were worried, and then explained: "The government soldiers are not guards, they will not be registered in the army, and the government soldiers need to be selected, and they are not lifelong soldiers, and they can leave after five years of joining the army, but if there is no one in the family to take over, they will no longer enjoy the treatment of the government soldiers." ”
A family, as long as one young man is dispatched, the family is exempted from labor, and ten acres of land tax can be exempted, and five acres of fertile land can be obtained, which is a good thing in Nanming, where taxes are complicated.
The four Guangnan villagers, after hearing that they were not enrolled in the army, the last worries in their hearts immediately disappeared, and they all said that they intended to let the children of the clan join the government soldiers.
Wang Yan said at this time: "In addition to the government soldiers, the governor also wants to recruit 10,000 new soldiers, in addition to their salaries, the governor will give 15 acres of land in Qiongzhou, and the family can be exempted from 20 acres of field tax, if they become officials, they will be treated more generously." The people of the soil and the guest can all be recruited. ”
