As soon as the recruitment of the officials was completed, they immediately ordered them to go down to the four counties that had already arrived, measure the land and recruit the peasants who had been displaced by the war to contract, and start production to save themselves, it is now May, the sowing period in the northeast is not too late, and at the same time, the drought in the northeast is not very serious, so it is still too late for spring planting.
Lu Hanqiang's contract policy was immediately supported by hundreds of ordinary people, who ran every day with the officials who measured the land, and reported their plots of land to the officials, hoping to get confirmation from the government.
As for the difference between the reported land and the actual number of acres, no one cares about it now, and there is no time to care, anyway, the land is sparsely populated in this era, and there is wasteland, as long as you pay 30 catties of grain per mu at the end of the year, or pay 30 catties of grain according to the regulations, then you can vigorously draw your land.
For a time, the people of the entire Liaoxi Mansion almost all became landlords, and for a while, no matter what kind of clothes they met on the road, they would bow down and give an honorific title.
With the land needs to be cultivated, at this time there is a fatal problem, the land has, or each family is not less than 100 acres or even more, but the lack of manpower, this era is not the future, the tractor runs, thousands of acres will be finished in a few days, now a big laborer, tired and tired one day can also plow one or two acres, so a group of people have to go to the field in person, with a group of small families to work hard.
However, in this way, it is not possible to sow the land at the end of spring ploughing.
The most painful thing for farmers is to see the land in their hands barren, which is simply going to kill people, so it has become a top priority to ask for help.
Of course, this matter was also brought to the top by the officials, and Zhao Qiliang also turned to Lu Hanqiang for help.
Lu Hanqiang pinched his chin and thought about it for a long time, but there was no good way.
In the end, I had to come up with a way to damage, in fact, it was also an irresponsible way to let the people pull people by themselves, as long as they were pulled, whether it was the Jurchen or the Mongols, or the Han people of Liaodong, Lu Hanqiang recognized that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty under his rule, and they were allowed to contract their own land for three years.
This was originally Lu Hanqiang's perfunctory method, but it became a legal order for robbery by the people of Laoxi.
The people of Liaoxi have been in war for a long time, robbery and murder have become commonplace, and they are brave and ruthless everywhere.
Yang Shugou Zhang honestly wrapped in a torn cotton jacket had gotten up for the third time in the middle of the night, and went to the ground to see his own land, as if he was afraid that this nearly 100 acres of fertile land with oil uppers would run away in the middle of the night.
This land is the wasteland in his own phase, although the above stipulates that he can only contract himself for ten years, but there is an add-on, that is to say, as long as the ten years expire, if you are willing to continue to contract, then you can continue to renew the contract for ten years, and so on, that is, as long as you are willing, as long as you can pay thirty catties of one acre of imperial grain, then this land can almost be cultivated by children and grandchildren Now, like the people in the village, he is also an outsider, and he is in principle equal to the real outsider who used to be a tenant in the east of the village.
With the life-root land, Zhang Laoshi was not happy for a few days, and his teeth hurt.
This piece of land is raw land, that is, wasteland, must be reclaimed before it can be cultivated, as a result, he took his wife, including the three-year-old junior, to get up early in the dark, and as a result, seeing that spring sowing began, it was less than 30 acres to be reclaimed, which is going to be old, looking at their own land can not be planted on the distressed, the most distressing thing is that according to the above contract, they originally contracted a hundred acres, that is to say, at the end of the year, they have to hand over 3,000 catties of grain, and pay a hundred acres with 30 acres, although a lot of grain can be dropped in the autumn, But it's too far from my goal of becoming a rich man in one year, which is too distressing.
No, I can't do it myself, I have to find someone to help.
As a result, something that made him have a toothache even more, the whole village was full of outsiders, and they all wanted to hire someone to help, where was there still someone.
When he was beating his chest at a loss, a decree was issued, and the lame veteran who retreated from Li Zheng announced to everyone that the decree of the Inspector allowed everyone to use no matter what method they used, as long as they got the population and labor, they could be used as slaves for three years, and after three years, they must be released to become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they would also issue contracted land to everyone, which was finally interpreted as a population order.
So, on a dark and windy night, Zhang Laoshi quietly went to Li Laoshi's house: "Brother Laoshi, the superintendent has ordered us to coerce the population, I think we might as well call Zhao Laoshi, Sun Laoshi, and Wang Laoshi to go to the border together and directly grab the tartars to farm for us."
As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately received a warm response from Li Laoshi: "Brother Honest, I think in this method, catch a few Tartars and give us three years, this is cost-effective."
Then he rolled his eyes: "If you can take the sheep and grab some Tartar cattle and sheep back, it will be even more beautiful, but I remember that our Inspector did this at the beginning, and now, the people in the northwest are all rich one by one." ” So Zhang Laoshi and Li Laoshi called Zhao Laoshi, Sun Laoshi, Wang Laoshi and a group of honest people, and set off to go to the mouth on the dark and windy night of this month, so three days later, after the death of a high honest, the honest team escorted hundreds of cattle and sheep and more than 50 Tartar men and women back to the village.
This is the violent type, and of course there is also the flickering type.
Zhao Laoshi went to the border to rob people, and the mother-in-law at home was not idle, so she directly made a small bag, carried a few nests and crossed the line with several other honest mothers-in-law.
They ran directly to the boundary of the Qing Dynasty, entered a Zhuangzi, and then picked the most dilapidated house and went in, climbed relatives to accompany them, and then quietly told the slave of the Jurchen people with four walls: "Our master said that as long as you give my family three years of farming, you can be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and you can also be the same as our family, immediately contract even a hundred acres of land, and hand over only 30 catties of grain per mu, and the rest is all yours, come on, come on, within three years, I will be in charge of food and housing, Yo pro who also wraps clothes. ” So on a dark and windy night, groups of Han people in Liaodong quietly crossed the border with their families.
As a result, in a large area of land, there is the unskilled farming figure of the Tartars, and the figure of groups of hopeful Liaodong Han people.
Continue to explode, continue to ask for tickets, it looks like there is no reward, but Quanding is also very welcome. t1706231537:
