There is no doubt that Liu Cheng, together with some of his soldiers and horses, brought a lot of rations and grains to the eleven villages he established one by one, and collected only the output of the villages according to his stipulations for one year.
40% of the total, the rest will be left here in the Mintun, allowing the Mintun to freely control it, and everyone will be exempted from the tax calculation for a year. Even if the tax calculation begins in the future, no more tax will be collected. One person will only be collected once a year.
After these money-calculating policies were announced, these people who just felt that they had no one to rely on became excited instantly!!
They all knelt down on the ground and kowtowed sincerely to Liu Cheng!
Many people could not help but shed tears of excitement and gratitude.
Some old people who have gone through hardships and hardships can even burst into tears!
How many years!
How many years has it been!!
Ever since I can remember, I have never had a good life!
Poverty and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies from the government linger like maggots on the tarsal bones!
In the past, he had ambitions and felt that as long as he was not afraid of hardship and tiredness, worked steadily and diligently, life would eventually get better.
But subsequent experiences told him that this was simply impossible!
The world and the government will always use various reasons to rob you of all the money and food you have earned through hard work.
When he was carried away by the army and left his hometown for an unknown place, he had already resigned himself to his fate and was already numb to the point of despair.
I feel like this is the way it will be for the rest of my life!
As a result, when I was about to starve to death, I met these cutest people and the beloved Uncle Liu Huang!
Everything has become different!!
Not a few days ago, he heard what Uncle Liu Huang said would allow them to settle down and survive. After seeing the words of hope, he actually still didn't believe it in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't trust Uncle Liu Huang, but that he has seen too many things in his life, and he no longer has any trust in the government...
As a result, just a few days later, Uncle Liu Huang had already distributed the land and brought over crops and rations!
More importantly, the tax policy announced by Uncle Liu Huang!
The seeds and land were all obtained by the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle only charged 40%, and also agreed that he would not charge additional exorbitant taxes in the future!
More importantly, this is money and is only collected once a year!
The money is only collected once a year!!
For as long as I can remember, I have been collecting money five or six times a year!
Over the past fifty years, the increase has increased to more than forty times a year...
I originally thought that life would be even more difficult after I left my hometown and abandoned my family and career.
But I didn't expect that it would suddenly develop to the point that I had only dreamed of before!
Faced with such a situation, how could this weather-beaten old man not shed tears of excitement?
How not to kowtow to Liu Cheng?!
After crying with excitement, the old man was filled with energy.
Although at this time, he is no longer the young man he once was, and his body has been polished by years of wind and frost and is not as strong as before. But under the protection of the emperor's uncle, facing such good conditions, the pain in his heart has long been wiped away.
Ideals and motivation appear again!
And began to spread in the chest.
Now that we have such good conditions, we can always achieve something and leave something for our children and grandchildren.
He is never afraid of working hard and enduring hardship!
What I'm afraid of is that after a lot of hard work, nothing left of my hard-earned money will be squeezed out...
Liu Cheng and his people left these villages, but the words and influence he left behind remain.
Shrines to Liu Cheng's life were erected in various villages. These people kowtowed and prayed to Liu Cheng, showing great respect...
These people who had received Liu Cheng's promise and some grain planting and farming tools that Liu Cheng left behind did not wait for the next day at all. They started to use the tools they got to plant hard on the land that day!
By this time, it was already April, and the weather was getting warmer day by day.
At such times, growing wheat was of course impossible.
Because the wheat is about to start heading.
However, you can sow millet for a season. (After the grain is shelled, you get millet)
The whole north is still very vast, and the time for sowing millet is different in places far away.
For example, in the vast areas of Hebei, it is already a bit late to sow seeds at this time, but in Chang'an and where Liu Cheng is, it is just right.
This is also an important reason why Liu Cheng is so eager to settle things here quickly and then quickly go to Chang'an.
The farming season cannot be delayed. If you delay for one more day, you will lose a lot of harvest.
At this time, we can mobilize the people and plant more grains. When the time comes, we will be able to gain more harvests, be more confident, and become stronger.
Liu Chengdu understands this truth. How can these people who have been dealing with the land their entire lives and rely on digging for food from the soil not understand?
Before, they had no land and no seeds. Even if the farming season was unfortunately delayed, there was nothing they could do.
Now that they have land and seeds, as well as the good policies formulated by the emperor's uncle, under such circumstances, how can they not go all out?
So much so that at night, many people did not rest and continued to plow the fields under the moonlight. It was not until the rooster crowed twice that they began to lie down and rest.
The next day, as soon as the genius was dim, he got up again and started farming.
It's like I don't know how tired I am...
At first, Liu Cheng felt that due to the lack of some necessary farm tools, the pace of cultivating the fields would be much slower for these people.
As a result, one day later, when he went to see Mintun again, he was immediately surprised by the amount of land that had been reclaimed!
Such a group of hard-working and lovely people really shouldn't have to live such a hard life!
Liu Cheng looked at such a scene and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
After he returned to the military camp, he immediately issued an order to have people take out the broken weapons that had been captured before and make them into farm tools and distribute them to the eleven villages for the people to use.
Increase farming speed.
After Liu Cheng came back from inspecting the eleven villages, Zhao Yun, who had been silent for a long time, took the initiative to speak to Liu Cheng.
"Uncle Emperor, I think it's not enough to just organize these people to work in the fields. The generals in the army can also imitate the people to work in the fields..."
After following Liu Cheng around for a while, Zhao Yun, who was inspired by Liu Cheng's farming methods, began to offer suggestions to Liu Cheng...
