Chapter 400 Peace talks with the Far East are the best policy
The spring sowing work in eastern Liaoning is in full swing, and there are Liao people who are working hard and busy in the fields. Next year, the Nationalities Committee will adopt the policy of guaranteeing production to households, and has already conveyed this to the vast number of Liaoning people through the cadres of various detachments of the Liaomin people.
When the Liao people heard the news, they were all confused. Especially recently, after the company's policy of package production to households was pasted on the notice board of each squadron site, the front of the notice board of the squadron headquarters every day was full of Liao people who came to watch.
The Liao people are more concerned about the policy of guaranteeing production to households, they are now nothing, they have been working as serfs in the Tartar farms all these years, working day and night, and they are not well fed and clothed, in the eyes of the Tartars, they are not as good as a big animal.
Now that the Tartars have been destroyed by the Far East, they have finally been rescued from the bitter sea by the Far East, but how the Far East Company will treat them in the future, all the Liao people have no bottom in their hearts. At the beginning, the Far East adopted a moderate policy, so that they were bewitched by the well-intentioned people in the ranks, or blindly followed, so in the early days of the centralized management of the Far East, it caused some confusion.
As a result, the Far East immediately adopted iron-blooded methods, and the means of dealing with the black sheep in the ranks of the Liao people were more ruthless than the Tartars. After a ruthless purge, the Liao people finally saw the iron-blooded methods of the Far East, and they all lamented in their hearts, thinking that they had left the wolf's den and fallen into the tiger's den.
However, after Liao Min took over Liao Min, they slowly felt the difference in the Far East, and gradually accepted the rules of the Far East, and slowly adapted to the rhythm of the Far East. After repeated lectures by the cadres of various squadrons, they also understood the content of the policy of guaranteeing production to households.
Although the Liao people do not have much knowledge, no matter what era the common people are, they are surprisingly sensitive and shrewd to their own vital interests. In the eyes of the Liao people, this policy was nothing more than long-term tenants for the Far East, no different from the previous land farming for the landlords' families.
However, after the introduction of the policy details of the package production to the household. The Liao people found a difference in it. First of all, the Far East provided them with housing, farm tools, seeds, large livestock and necessary daily necessities in the form of credit.
That's a good thing, of course, but they don't understand the concept of credit. They went to ask the cadres of the squadron together, but the cadres of the squadron could not say, and finally the company had to issue a series of documents, detailing the detailed instructions on the delivery of the production to the household.
A large number of company employees were also dispatched. Separately organized the grassroots leading cadres to study, broke it and explained it to them, so that the people of Liaomin understood what kind of standard this credit is.
The Liao people contracted a certain amount of cultivated land, handed over a certain percentage of the output to the Far Eastern Company every year, and did not pay any taxes or excessive taxes and miscellaneous chores. The materials provided by the Far East to the Liao people in the form of credit will be repaid year by year with the output of the land within a certain period of time.
Of course, there are many ways to repay the loan, such as participating in the labor of the Far East organization to earn a labor share ticket, and you can also use your usual planting by-products. Proceeds from operating at the farmer's market to repay the loan. Then there is joining the army, as long as you have served for a certain number of years, all loans will be forgiven. Later, if you are selected to become a regular laborer or militia member in the Far East, or if you are promoted to a cadre, you may have all or part of your loan forgiven.
Far Eastern's repayment standard is not harsh, as long as ordinary Liao people are diligent and willing to work, even if they rely on farming. It is also possible to pay off the loan within ten years. This is because the rent collected by the Far East is more than half less than that of the landlords in those years. Moreover, the Far East has also promised that in the event of a disaster or famine, the land rent will be forgiven, and the loan payment will be deferred.
The Liao people got together and used their limited mathematical ability to follow the content stipulated in the rules. It took a lot of effort to break my fingers and continue to calculate, and it took a lot of effort to come to the final result. Everyone is satisfied with this result, at least it is more cost-effective than carrying work for the landlord's family back then.
They have nothing now, even if they go to the landlord's house to farm now. No one gave you a house, farm implements, seeds, and big animals, and if you didn't have a house, you had to go to the shack and huddle with others. Big animals or something, don't even think about it.
And before the autumn harvest, their rations were also provided by the Far East, of course, this was also in the form of credit, and later they would return it to the Far East Company in monthly installments.
Of course, if the Liaomin did not want to carry out the lump sum to the households, they could also stay in the squadrons and continue to accept the collective management of the Far East. But in the future, if they want to enjoy the policy of package production to households, then they have to be numbered. Because there will be more and more immigrants in the future, immigrants will participate in winter training in the first year before they can enjoy the policy of package production to households.
If a new immigrant arrives in the Far East and has a bad first year, he will also lose the opportunity to get his or her own home, unless he or she makes greater efforts to win this opportunity later.
After the Liao people gradually understood this policy, everyone's reaction was different. Most people are still excited, although they owe a lot of debt to the Far East, they have nothing in the first place, what do they care? As long as you work harder, you can pay off the famine you owe within a few years. After the property is delivered to the household, they can have their own house, and they can live freely and freely, which is better than being managed here every day.
But there are also many honest Liao people, they are very satisfied with their current life, as long as they complete the prescribed work every day, they can ensure three full meals, where to find such a day. These people don't care about any freedom, for them, the most important thing is to have enough food in this life, and they would rather work hard every day.
They want to live in peace, let them carry a famine, and they can worry about their white heads overnight. For such Liao people, the company will arrange for them to go to some large state farms in the future and become farm laborers.
There are also a very small number of Liao people, who are neither willing to live their current life, nor willing to contract their production to their households. Anyway, such a person feels aggrieved wherever he goes, he can't bear to say it, he doesn't work hard, and he can't do anything except complain. For such Liaomin, they will automatically enter the company's blacklist.
Since the Liao people understood the company's future policies, except for a very small number of Liao people, they are still full of complaints, but the vast majority of Liao people are completely stable. The enthusiasm of labor has also been fully mobilized, and a large number of political workers have also gone deep into the people of Liaoning in a timely manner to carry out various ideological education work.
At this time, the Guan Ning army of the Ming Dynasty was waiting in the Ningjin area, and all the city fortresses were closed tightly, for fear that the Tartars would attack again. They guarded it for a long time, and when they found that the Tartars did not have the slightest intention of attacking, they were relieved.
Ning Jin's Ming army sent a large number of night guards and began to inquire about the military situation along the western coast of the Daling River. However, as soon as they reached the bank of the Daling River, they were beaten and fled by the Far Eastern warships on the river, and they were unable to obtain reliable information.
It wasn't until the Ming army was in Liaoshen's eyes that the intelligence was sent to the hands of the Guanning army that the Ming army knew the news of Liaodong. But this news made them unbelievable, and the Tartars were actually wiped out by the Far East Company in Liaodong.
The generals of the Guanning Army also sent a large number of night guards to conduct a detailed investigation of the Liaoshen region, which verified the authenticity of the intelligence. This also surprised them, of course they didn't dare to hide such a big thing, and immediately reported it to the imperial court.
Chongzhen was also stupid when he knew about the great changes in Liaodong. They had all heard of this Far East company, it was said that it came from overseas, and they also learned through various channels that the Lushun victory was fought by the Far East.
Although Chongzhen was angry, this big victory had already been publicized. The Ming needed a victory to boost the morale of the border army, so they still suppressed the anger in their hearts. Anyway, after the Far East defeated the Tartars, it had no intention of annexing Dongjiang Town, so Chongzhen and the ministers of the court simply pretended not to know.
Subsequently, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others in Shandong staged a mutiny in Denglai, and finally the Liaodong rebels went to sea and disappeared. It is said that it was also the rebels picked up by the Far East Company. This time Chongzhen was completely angry, but he really had nothing to do with the Far East, after all, the Far East was lonely overseas, you just wanted to find trouble in the Far East, and you didn't have the ability.
Now the Guan Ning army stationed in Ningjin, as well as the heads of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Denglai, Shandong, in fact, they all already know about the storage of the Far East, but none of them reported to the imperial court. What are you kidding, report it now, if the court orders it down, let them go into the Far East. When the time comes, they will fight or not. They can't fight and can't fight, and if they don't fight, they are resisting, so they all close their eyes and pretend not to see.
If they can defeat the army of the Tartars, they can afford to provoke them. Especially those Ming sailors, most of them have an affair with pirates, and they have a better understanding of the strength of the Far East. That's a fart, people can easily knock over their warships when they hit them.
Therefore, the entire Ming Dynasty went up to the court and down to the heads of the Ming army at all levels, and they all knew that there was a force in the Far East, but they didn't mention it. It's like a taboo, and no one wants to offend.
But now it's different, they all have to face it, and the Far East swept the entire Liaodong in less than a month with lightning speed, sweeping away the Tartars of Liaodong.
When Da Ming heard the news, he was stunned for a while.
That's a Tartar, how many generals did the Ming Dynasty deploy in Liaodong back then, and it didn't let the fierce Tartars fight in a downstream. In the second year of Chongzhen, he even let the Tartars fight under the city of Beijing, and watched the Tartars plunder hundreds of thousands of Ming people, and calmly returned to Liaodong.
At that time, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops gathered in Beijing, but none of the Ming generals dared to face the edge of the Tartars. When the Tartars left, the Ming troops from all walks of life opened the city gates and gathered under the city of Beijing.
But now they can't help but believe it, the facts are already in front of them, and for the sake of now, they have to try to contact the Far East. After all, the Far East claims to be a descendant of the Song family, and they both belong to the Han family, so no matter how to send someone to Liaodong first, it is the best policy to negotiate peace with the Far East. (To be continued......)
