This matter was of concern to everyone, so most people put their hands down after hearing this.
At this time, Sun Chuanting saw Yang Siqi raising his hand, so he clicked on him to speak.
Yang Siqi said: "Xiaguan just heard that the seeds are free, and I feel that it might be better if we charge money for the seeds."
Sun Chuanting asked curiously: "Why is it better to collect money?
Let the promotion officer tell me."
Yang Siqi said: "Your Excellency just said that there are only enough seeds for planting 20% of the fields in each county.
If we distribute seeds for free, people will have doubts in their hearts and think that free things are bad things, and they will refuse to receive the seeds." , or even after receiving it, it will be discarded.
I have heard a saying that you will not cherish things that cost nothing.
Please correct me on my humble opinion. " Sun Chuanting thought for a while, and it seemed to be the truth, so he asked other officials.
Everyone thought that the official's words were reasonable.
If the crop seeds were distributed but no one planted them, it would be a waste.
So the seeds were sold at a high price, and each county signed a contract with the purchasing farmers, and each county provided planting technology.
After harvesting, the seeds were purchased at a fixed price, and Sun Chuanting was responsible for the purchase money.
Then there is the issue of planting technology.
Sun Chuanting brought more than thirty experienced people from the Siyuan Bureau.
He originally planned to send one or two to each county, but Yang Siqi vetoed it.
In the end, everyone discussed together and decided to send these veteran farmers to It was divided into four parts, and four schools were opened in the prefecture according to distance.
Each county selected some people to come to the school to study intensively, and then went to the villages to guide planting.
Finally, there is the most important issue of military settlements.
Sun Chuanting proposed that all the original military households in Yan'an Prefecture should be converted into civilian households.
The guard farmland was cleared and measured, and the register was re-established.
The original planting military households continued to plant, and taxes were collected on civilian land.
Immediately, an official raised his hand to speak.
Sun Chuanting nodded.
The man stood up and said, "Sir, I don't know how to deal with the issue of the army occupying civilian land and civilians occupying military land."
"Don't delve into the past, don't seize the original land, just start the class according to the land, that is, take responsibility for the people who have inherited the seeds now.
This is the general strategy.
What I want is someone to pay for the food, and there must be no hidden fields.
Some of the previous ones A confused account cannot be cleared up, but it is better to be unclear.
But you must be careful when measuring, and you must not be careless."
Originally, in history, Sun Chuanting adopted this strategy when cleaning up the farmland in Shaanxi.
I don't care who owns the farmland, as long as you pay taxes.
Now he has gone a step further.
To pay taxes, he only needs to pay taxes on civilian land, and he is even exempted from military service.
Someone else asked: "Sir, what should I do with the large amounts of land that have been abandoned due to the military households fleeing?
If there are other officers who occupy a large number of acres of land, can they be allowed to continue farming?"
"The abandoned farmland will be taken back as official land, and the farmland will be cleared and divided into 50 acres according to the original value.
If it exceeds 50 acres, it will be taken back as official land and can continue to be cultivated."
There is a big tax difference between official land and self-owned land, which will usurp Sun Chuanting could not care about the interests of some military officers.
If they were fated and sent to the imperial court, where would the money to recruit soldiers come from?
The officials all looked embarrassed.
Most of the officers in the guard station owned far more acres than the quota.
Although the farmland in the guard station was now managed by local officials, they usually did not dare to be serious with the officers.
Sun Chuanting understood their concerns and said with a smile: "I brought Shang Fangjian here just for this matter.
If you encounter anyone who refuses to obey, feel free to report them and I will kill them."

Although he was smiling when he said it, the evil spirit in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
The officials can rest assured with his words.
It is a good thing that they do not do anything to offend others.
Everyone took the order and left.
Sun Chuanting also arranged for old farmers from the Siyuan Bureau to live in various places to work as teachers, and also arranged for young eunuchs and local farmers to go to various places to do experiments and statistics.
After he finished these tasks, he began to inspect the farmlands and clean up the fields with the general magistrate Lu Xuan in plainclothes. .
Various places have taken advantage of the slack agricultural season to start clearing farmland, and their first stop was Ansai County.
Ansai is located in the northwest of Fushi City.
The land here is fertile and the harvest is high.
It is a rare and good place in Shaanxi.
The two of them took only a dozen guards with them and rode directly into the county seat.
Ansai County was not notified in advance, so no one greeted them.
The group of people dismounted in front of the county government office.
They only heard the noise coming from the county government office, but there was no one in front of the door, so they asked the guards to guard the door and they walked in directly.
Two groups of people were confronting each other in the lobby.
On one side was Wang Zhengyue, the magistrate of Ansai County, with a few government servants and petty officials standing in two groups.
On the other side was a Qianhu in armor, with a dozen murderous men.
Soldiers, those thousands of households are clamoring: "Farming is an ancestral system.
What qualifications do you have to limit my farmland to one hundred acres?
What's wrong with me even having a thousand acres of farmland?
How dare you touch one of my acres?"
Wang Zhengyue was overjoyed to see Sun Chuanting, but Qianhu didn't recognize him.
He walked up a few steps and said, "The government office is closed today.
If you have anything to do, come tomorrow."
Sun Chuanting was surprised and said: "The time has just arrived, how can the Yamen be closed?
This is not in line with the ancestral system."
Qianhu looked at the two of them carefully.
They were both dark and thin.
He felt relieved and cursed: "I said it is closed when it is closed.
If you don't leave, I will break your legs."
Sun Chuanting's face darkened.
At this time, Wang Zhengyue had already stepped forward and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Please, the magistrate, please make the decision for me."
Qianhu was shocked.
He was the fifth rank, and the county magistrate was the seventh rank.
The Ming Dynasty used culture to control military affairs.
His fifth rank was actually not as good as the seventh rank of the magistrate, but he had been stationed in Ansai and had some background.
It wasn't long before the military camp was transferred to local government management, so he never paid attention to the magistrate.
However, the magistrate was a fourth-rank official, and no matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to be arrogant in front of the magistrate.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord, please spare my life.
This little one has eyesight but cannot see the mountains.
I have offended my lord.
I beg you not to remember my fault and spare my life this time."
When other soldiers saw this, they also knelt down.
Keep kowtowing from behind.
Sun Chuanting did not let him get up and directly asked Wang Zhengyue: "What's going on?"

Wang Zhengyue replied: "Your Excellency, my subordinates are clearing out farmland according to your instructions.
Chen Qianhu, who should have had 150 acres of land, actually occupies 1,300 acres of land.
However, many of his subordinate military households have no land."
They all work as tenants in Chen Qianhu's family.
The subordinate officials wanted to transfer Chen Qianhu's land to other landless military households, but Chen Qianhu was unwilling, so that's why what happened today."
Sun Chuanting turned to Chen Qianhu and asked, "Is there any error in what the county magistrate said?"
Chen Qianhu kowtowed and said, "There is nothing wrong with what the county magistrate said, but..."
Sun Chuanting interrupted him and shouted directly: "Whoever is coming, drag him out and behead him."
The guards had been called in by Lu Xuan, and two guards immediately came forward and dragged Chen Qianhu away.
Chen Qianhu was so frightened that he shouted: "Sir, please spare the little one this time.
Please spare my life, sir.
The young man is the fifth grade.
Sir, you can't kill the villain, sir."
