Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 1654 True and False Princess 34
However, An Ran did not stipulate that those slaves could leave without redeeming themselves, so as not to touch the interests of too many people, and they would cause trouble, which would lead to instability in the newly acquired territory and casualties among ordinary people. She managed to accept it peacefully. I don't want to see all my efforts for naught.

Therefore, it is only stipulated how much money they bought back then. Now the redemption fee cannot exceed double. The law is also severely punished by the law.

In this way, at least the interests of the gentry with hundreds of servants were not harmed, and they could accept it a little.

And once the servants get the land, their family will be able to earn enough ransom money in the future with one person and three acres of land, so after some people get the land, they borrow money from relatives, friends, or the government (which is done by An Ran) Banks can borrow money with the right to manage the land as collateral, and the interest is very low. As long as the field is planted for a year, the money can usually be paid back. After all, slaves are not worth much these days, and double redemption will not cost much , as long as the family has dozens of acres of land, it is not possible to pay off the borrowed money in a year), and redeem themselves. After all, after regaining their free status, they can enjoy various benefits issued by the court. They don’t want to miss it, which leads to Those who are rich and powerful have no one to take care of their homes, and there are no tenants to help plant the fields in the village.

If it hadn't been for An Ran's regulation that the redemption of slaves is not allowed, or these people would really be able to see that the slaves would run away and affect their own interests, and they would not allow the redemption of slaves.

But because An Ran stipulated that slaves should not be restricted from redeeming themselves, they did not dare to try their own methods—no way, those who tried were sent to prison, and the rest dared to mess around?And as long as the property is not robbed by others, they can't afford the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

People ran away, although you can hire people to do things with money, but the hired people are different from the slaves that belonged to you before.

They belong to their own servants, they hold the power of life and death of each other, so you can treat them as you want, if you are unhappy, even if you can't kill people, but find a reason to beat them with a stick, or even sell them to a terrible place , are all possible, and such power makes the servants fearful, so naturally they dare not carelessly serve them.

As for the hired ones... if one person is unhappy with the job, he can leave at any time and go to another company to do it.

They are used to the power of life and death over others, but now that it is gone, they are naturally not used to respecting others.

More importantly, even if you want to hire, you may not be able to hire people, because now every family has one person and three acres of land, and most families, except the elderly and children who cannot work in the field, and the young and strong who can farm, If you just grow your own field, you can't grow it. Who will go to the gentry's house and help them farm.

Many of the gentry’s fields that could not find help were barren. Now this group of people is in a hurry. After all, if the land is not handed over, it will be barren to the point of no income. How will they live in the future? What's more, I heard that Princess Fu'an is the most cunning. In the north, a waste disposal law was introduced a long time ago, which does not allow waste disposal. If the waste disposal time exceeds two years, the management right will be taken back. If you want to plant it, you can apply again. At that time, no one will farm. , it will be regarded as abandoned, and the fields will be taken back—although their fields belong to them, but they are not surprised that An Ran will confiscate their fields on the grounds of abandonment.

But thinking of those who peacefully revolted, many of them kept their land, and those forces in the north also bought a lot of land. They have no hands. How do they deal with the land?
If they can handle it, so can they.

...After inquiring about it, I found out that Princess Fu'an has stipulated that soldiers can retire after three years of service and have not been upgraded. Retired people are not only rewarded with fields, as long as you want, you can also join some kind of engineering team established by the country. During the slack season, they help the imperial court build water conservancy and roads everywhere. When the farming season is busy, they sign contracts with those farmers to help them cultivate the fields. They are responsible for how much food is given to them per acre, and they don’t have to worry about everything else.

Because going to the engineering team makes more money than farming at home. After all, farming can only make money for so long, but going to the engineering team can make money all year round, so naturally you can earn more. What kind of endowment insurance is there, after 15 years of payment, you will have a pension when you are old, so you don't have to worry about your children and grandchildren being unfilial and unable to live on.

So those retired soldiers, unless there are not enough people to farm at home, or most of them are willing to go.

Generally speaking, those soldiers generally have enough manpower for farming in their families, because Princess Fu'an used to recruit troops from families with more than three males. If there are enough males in the family, these retired soldiers can be recruited Going to work in the engineering team will not affect the farming at home, and even if it affects, as long as there are no special circumstances, most people are willing to let their sons go. After all, they earn so much money a year and pay them when they are old. Who would not want to go.

Therefore, Princess Fu'an's royal engineering team has a large number of people, and those fields of the northern forces have races.

And this... People in the south who have not turned in their fields will not be able to enjoy it, because the Royal Engineering Corps only farms for those whose ownership belongs to the state.

The Royal Engineering Team belongs to the imperial court, and he can help whoever he wants to plant, and these people in the south dare not say anything.

It's just that in this way, no one is planting their fields, and it would be too embarrassing if they were nationalized according to the law of abandonment in the future.

But they didn't dare to make trouble. After all, the south is becoming more and more stable, and An Ran's army has also established a firm foothold here. It's too late for them to make trouble now.

Just when they were thinking about how to end this matter, An Ran handed them a letter and asked them that they could only pay 30% of the land in their hands, and then keep [-]%. , They can keep the good land in their hands, turn in the bad ones, and ask them if they are willing; as long as they are willing, the Royal Engineering Team will be able to serve them immediately.

Those southern gentry who were in a panic and felt that it would be too much of a disadvantage to hand over their land, and feared that they would be confiscated in two years if they didn’t hand it in, saw An Ran’s arrangement. Although they still suffered a bit, they still agreed. Pay [-]%, and said that the bad land should be handed over, and then the Royal Engineering Team will help to farm the fields immediately. This year's income can be guaranteed, so the loss is not too big, and the loss is not too big, at least the fields are not They were all confiscated, so they couldn't afford the idea of ​​making trouble, lest they would lose everything after making trouble. Now that there is no trouble, at least they can keep most of their family business, so they naturally chose to agree.
