If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 176 Prince Tianen
The news that Zhu Zhanjun was going to allocate land to his soldiers spread quickly. The soldiers of Qingyu Guard were undoubtedly the happiest. After all, they were the first group of people to allocate land, and the benefits fell directly on their heads.

The soldiers of Tianjin Sanwei were somewhat jealous, but they had no more negative thoughts.

The elite of the Qing Jade Guard is obvious to all. On the battlefield, the Qing Jade Guard also undertakes the most arduous combat tasks. They are rewarded for their meritorious service. The three Tianjin guards are just jealous rather than unconvinced.

As for the Qingyu Guards being able to divide land on Kyushu Island, the Tianjin Sanwei actually didn't have much thought about this matter.

The reason is also very simple. Most of the soldiers of Tianjin Sanwei are military households around Tianjin City. When Zhu Zhanquan ordered to farm in Tianjin, their families had already enjoyed benefits. Relatively speaking, Tianjin Sanwei did not think so much. Want the land of Kyushu Island.

But the Jade Guard is different. First of all, they are not from military families. When Zhu Zhanqi formed the Jade Guard, he took the route of recruiting soldiers.

Therefore, most of the soldiers recruited were not military households, but civilian households, or civilian households in Jiangnan.

Logically speaking, households in Jiangnan should be relatively wealthy. After all, the six provinces in Jiangnan were the main source of fiscal revenue for the Ming Dynasty, and this region was indeed economically developed.

It's just that when Zhu Zhanjuan first recruited troops, he specifically selected poor people in the Yiwu area.

For them, the land on Kyushu Island is very tempting.

As a result, everyone in the army was discussing heatedly at this moment, what kind of land they could be allocated, and how to cultivate the land after it was allocated.

The young warrior who had come to Fugang to serve Zhu Zhanchun had now become an interpreter by virtue of his ability to understand Ming Mandarin. This was one of the territorial official positions established by Zhu Zhanchun, which was inferior to the official of the palace, but it was also A position higher than those of lower-level acting officials.

In total, it was almost the same as the official position that the young samurai family once held in the Ouchi family. This encouraged the young samurai family and made him more confident in reviving his family. At the same time, he became more loyal to Zhu Zhanyu.

Because of his official position, he can go in and out of the military camp on weekdays, and he is relatively familiar with some middle- and lower-level officers in the army.

At this time, the army was discussing the distribution of land. Several officers who were familiar with him came to him and wanted to ask him which land was good on Kyushu Island and what crops were suitable for growing. They wanted to do it early. Get ready, get a good piece of land.

However, while the young warrior was answering everyone's questions, he also had doubts in his heart. He asked a familiar officer: "Zhao Baihu, I can understand what you just said about dividing the land, but why do you all say Farm it yourself?

Your Highness the Prince has allocated land to you. All these lands have tenant farmers. You just need to let the tenant farmers farm the land? "

"What? What are you talking about? The prince gave us the land and gave it to the tenants? How can such a good thing happen in the world!" A small flag officer on the side heard what the young warrior said and shook his head repeatedly, not believing what he said.

But the young samurai hurriedly explained: "According to our Japanese system, the land belongs to the samurai and daimyo, and farmers and common people can only cultivate these lands. In Ming terms, these farmers are tenants. The land in Kyushu is conquered by His Highness the Prince. After that, they all came under the name of His Highness. We former warriors also relied on serving under His Highness to save our own land.

These lands are in the name of His Highness the Prince, and naturally the people living on these lands are also tenants of His Highness the Prince.
As for the land that His Highness the Prince is allocating to you this time, His Highness the Prince is taking out the land in his own name and giving it to you, and it should be accompanied by the people who live on these lands.

Unless His Highness the Prince specifically states, you will only be rewarded with land, and those who live in the territory will not be rewarded with it. "

"I said Yamashita, are you telling the truth? You Japanese people share the land with the tenant farmers?" Zhao Baihu's eyes lit up when he heard what the young warrior said: "If you say so, wouldn't it? Are we now landlords? Are we also masters?"

Hearing the question of finding the White Tiger, the young samurai named Yamashita thought for a moment before nodding: "According to Daming, after you receive the land rewarded by His Highness the Prince, you are indeed the master.

It's just that each of you can only get twenty acres of land, which is not a lot. According to the old standards of the Ouchi family, a samurai can receive fifty koku in salary, and an ashigaru can get 24 koku a year. As for the quota, twenty acres of fiefdom is too small..."

Before Yamashita finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Baihu.

He waved his hand nonchalantly and then said: "Yamashita, you are wrong. We received the salary that your samurai received in the same way. The land rewarded by His Highness is in addition to this salary.

I heard you tell me about the rules of your Japanese country. Don’t your samurai’s income depend on fiefdoms?It seems that once you have a fiefdom, your daimyo master won't give you a salary, right? "

"That's not true. The salary is still paid, but the samurai who have a fiefdom have to send troops. Ten thousand shi is almost 200 soldiers. When converted, it is almost [-] shi to send a peasant soldier. If it is replaced by land, it will be with the prince. The size of the land that His Highness will reward you is quite large." Yamashita habitually calculated according to the Japanese system, but he did not see the expression on Zhao Baihu's face beside him, which was already beaming with joy.

He happily said to his companions: "An ordinary soldier can get twenty acres of land. One acre of land can produce two shi of grain. This year, it is 100 shi of grain. If you work harder, you can plant one crop of rice and another crop." Besides, this year is only [-] taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and cannot see how hard it is for us old brothers to get such a generous reward, not to mention that the land that we officers can get has increased. Your Majesty is so benevolent!" Another hundred households on the side shouted loudly. Cheering, they couldn't help praising Zhu Zhanchun's benevolence.

Yamashita was a little confused about the situation, but another small flag officer on the side explained to him: "Twenty acres of land is just the standard for ordinary soldiers. A small flag officer like me can be allocated fifty acres of land. Zhao Baihu and the others have One hundred acres, plus an additional fifty acres for those who have achieved military exploits, and the Qianhu adults directly have five hundred acres of land.

Yamashita, you are a hereditary warrior. You have always owned land at home, so you don’t feel it. If you want to buy dozens of acres of good paddy fields in our Ming Dynasty, this is not something that we, the hard-working soldiers, can think about, that is, Zhao Baihu Only officers like them are qualified to consider buying land.

That’s why everyone is grateful to the prince. This is a blessing from heaven in our Ming Dynasty! "
