Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 340 Show Your Talents
The content of Anmin's notice quickly spread among the people. Some courageous people tried to go to the streets to do business, and found that the soldiers standing guard would not obstruct or scold them at all, and they were relieved a lot.

A child fell down while playing in the street, and the soldier on guard actually helped the child up.This move undoubtedly left a deep impression on the people.Let people have a better impression of the Apocalypse Army.

It didn't matter to see people taking to the streets, and gradually the number of people on the streets increased, and within two days, the city of Meizhou Prefecture returned to normal.

Most of the soldiers and horses of the Apocalypse Army were also stationed outside the city.Only a small number of people were left in the city to maintain order.

Jing Yi found out Xue Wanhe's account books of tax increases, and then set up several desks on the street outside the gate of the government office to return the tax increases to the common people.

Jing Yi stood on the steps and said loudly: "Fathers and folks, Xue Wanhe and other officials privately collect taxes for their own enjoyment, search for the people's fat and anointment, and don't care about the suffering of the people. Do you think the corrupt officials deserve to die?

Our Apocalypse Army is the army of the people, an army that rescues the people from the fire and water, and protects the people. Therefore, we took down these corrupt officials and returned Meizhou Prefecture to a blue sky.In the future, the folks will no longer have to worry about being unfairly exploited.

In addition, the additional taxes collected by Xue Wanhe and other officials will be returned to everyone today, and those who paid more taxes a few days ago can come to the gate of the government office to claim back the taxes.Please also spread the word so that others can also receive tax money. "

After Jing Yi's publicity, the common people talked a lot, and they couldn't believe that the tax money collected could be returned.

Soon the government office gate really began to return the additional tax money, and the people who paid the extra tax money came to claim the tax refund with their household registration certificates.

The notice of the leased land was posted to the outside world, and the people of Meizhou Mansion were even more excited.Renting land only charges [-]% of the rent, which is almost like a pie in the sky, because they used to pay [-]% of the rent for renting land from landlords or officials, but now it is reduced by half. You can have a full stomach.

With the policy she introduced, even if those landlords wanted to charge a rent that was [-]% higher, no one would accept it.

Soon Jing Yi introduced a policy that part of the land in Meizhou prefecture that had been acquired by the public should be rented out. Farmers who leased the land only had to pay [-]% of the local average grain harvest after the harvest, and no other payments were required.

Moreover, the welfare benefits of the Apocalypse Army were also announced.Ordinary soldiers are issued a new military uniform every six months, and cotton-padded clothes in winter.One or two taels of military pay every quarter.If the level is improved or the service time reaches a certain number of years, the military salary will also increase accordingly.

Jingyi also stipulated that a family should rent and farm land according to the population, and should not exceed the prescribed amount.This is also to ensure that the general public can survive, and try to be as fair as possible.

Many people did not believe that such a good thing would happen, and many people went to the county and government offices to inquire.

Those good officials who are willing to stay will continue to be the county magistrates, while corrupt officials will be imprisoned and all their properties will be confiscated.Then Jingyi sent people to take over the official duties of the county government.

At the entrance of the county government office and the government office, there are personnel who are responsible for answering questions.

When Jing Yi and the others captured the capital city of Meizhou, the other eleven counties were successively occupied by the Apocalypse Army. The local government affairs were first implemented under military control, and then a thorough investigation was conducted on the officials of each county.

Jing Yi fixed the land rent at [-]%, and those landlords who privately owned a lot of land had to lower the rent if they wanted to continue renting out their land to tenant farmers, otherwise no one would rent their land for farming.Unless the landlord hires a long-term worker to grow it himself.

Now this is a feudal society after all, Jing Yi doesn't want to arouse some people's resistance because of his strides too much, that would be a waste of money.What's more, they have just occupied Meizhou Mansion, and they want to develop slowly, and now stability is the first.

After getting the following investigation results, Jing Yi ordered the corrupt officials and their relatives to confiscate all their property.All those with lives on their bodies were thrown into prisons to wait to be released.

Because Meizhou Prefecture is close to the border, its jurisdiction area is very large. There are thirteen counties in its territory. The population is not comparable to that of Yuanling County and Changning County.The number of recruits is increasing rapidly every day.

Jing Yi didn't lease out all the land, but kept some as experimental fields to cultivate new varieties.

Except for Yuanling County and Changning County in Meizhou Prefecture, only three county magistrates in the other eleven counties are good. The others are corrupt officials. Many county magistrates are relatives of Xue Wanhe and other Meizhou Prefecture officials. These people worked together, making most of the land and shops under the jurisdiction of Meizhou Prefecture controlled by these officials or their relatives.

The conscription of the Yi Kingdom army is mandatory, and there is no military salary at all. Compared with this, the treatment of the Apocalypse Army is too good.Many families with many sons have one or two school-age teenagers enlisted in the army.

While Jingyi introduced a series of policies to benefit the people in Meizhou Prefecture, the Apocalypse Army also began to recruit troops in Meizhou Prefecture and surrounding towns.

Jing Yi attaches great importance to publicity to the outside world. The purpose of the Tianqi Army's publicity to the outside world is to defend the homeland and the peaceful life of the people in Meizhou Prefecture.

There is also the food standard of the army, which is full of staple food, vegetables and meat, which cannot be compared with ordinary people's homes.

The fields are generally leased to villagers in the nearby villages. After registration, the location and area of ​​the fields will be divided by a special person, and then some procedures will be completed.

When the people saw that someone had actually taken back the tax money they had paid, they were so excited that they all ran home to get their household registration certificates and spread the good news along the way.

This move by Jing Yi immediately won the support of the people of Meizhou Prefecture for the Apocalypse Army.

Jing Yi not only set up tax refunds in Fucheng, but also set up tax refunds in other towns below.

In many villages, Lizheng and people with prestige in the village came to inquire on behalf of the villagers. When they learned that what the notice said was true, everyone rushed to rent and farm land.

Jing Yi did not confiscate the land of those merchants and landlords, as long as the assets they had accumulated reasonably and legally, Jing Yi would not move.This is also to maintain social stability.

It took Jing Yi two months to smooth out the affairs in Meizhou Prefecture.

There was no shortage of talented people in the old Jing family department who came to join Jingyi before. After Jing Yi took the exam, some people were sent to various counties as magistrates, and some people were added to various departments in the prefecture to make the entire Meizhou prefecture run normally.

During this period, Mr. Liu and several brothers from the Liu family were by Jing Yi's side to help.They all had many years of experience in the officialdom, and were quickly placed in important positions by Jing Yi.And everyone once again realized Jing Yi's talent.

The Liu family arrived in Fucheng with their grandson and Liu family members.The best mansion in Fucheng is of course the prefect's mansion, but Jing Yi didn't live in it, but chose an official's not very big mansion to live in, and the Liu family became neighbors with Jing Yi.
