The training of the common people started early the next day.
When Yu Minggang announced the training camp yesterday afternoon, the people were not very enthusiastic.
There are even many voices of opposition.
But now all supplies are centrally managed by the prince and his guards.
Those who objected had no choice but to obey the prince's orders.
But at night, the opposition gradually disappeared.
Because there is another rumor in the camp.
"What! The tiger hurt someone? When did it happen?"
"Just today! Didn't Liu Datou and the others go up the mountain to collect medicine? I heard that Zhao Si'er in his team was bitten by a tiger!"
"Ah! Zhao Si'er? I know he is here. He is a very honest and honest person. So Zhao Si'er is dead?"
"I don't know! But most of them are dead! I think only four people from Liu Datou's team are back!"
"Is the tiger so powerful?"
"No! I heard there are two tigers!"
"How come I heard about so many tigers!"
"Yes! Yes! I heard about it too! Several tigers came back after Cui Qiang and the others! Fortunately Cui Qiang ran fast, otherwise he would have to feed the tigers!"
"Isn't Captain Cui Qiang good at martial arts? Can he be chased by a tiger?"
"It's hard to defeat four claws with two fists! What's more, there are more than ten tigers! I heard that all of them are bigger than a giant buffalo!"
"More than ten tigers! Bigger than a big buffalo! This is too scary!"
"Yes! There are more than ten of them! I heard that there was nothing to eat on the mountain, so they all ran down the mountain to eat people!"
"That's why the prince asked everyone to participate in training. If the tiger comes, everyone will fight the tiger together!"
"No wonder! You have to practice! You have to practice! Practice hard!"
Before going to bed at night, Yu Ming listened to Cui Qiang's report on these rumors.
But he smiled, this was exactly the result he wanted.
Yes, he spread the rumors quietly.
The effect was surprisingly good, and the enthusiasm of the people was instantly mobilized.
For many years during the prosperous period of the Qian Dynasty, all the jackals, tigers and leopards were driven away by hunters and retreated to the mountains.
Jiangzhou City has not heard anything about tigers for many years.
Some people may not even know what a tiger is.
Hearing people say that tigers are so dangerous, everyone gets excited.
…
The final daily training schedule only provided for one morning.
Everyone has to work in the afternoon.
Those who look for food look for food, and those who repair houses repair houses.
There is a lot of work in the camp.
It rained lightly the night before yesterday, and some thatched huts leaked.
In response, Song Yang simply announced:
The location of the camp is the future Jiangzhou New City and will not be moved to another location in the future.
Let the people repair their houses by themselves!
In addition, after talking about this matter, Song Yang thought of land again.
There is a lot of unowned land outside the city, and now all the land has been nationalized.
But it will definitely have to be divided into parts in the future.
According to Song Yang's initial thoughts, the state of emergency will last at least until after this year's autumn grain harvest.
It is expected that all land will be redistributed starting next year.
On a per capita basis, each person has fifty acres of land!
Anyone who performs meritorious service during the state of emergency this year will be rewarded with an additional twenty acres of land!
Once the land-dividing policy is implemented, Song Yang will immediately gain the die-hard loyalty of everyone.
When Yu Ming was asked to collect statistics on people, he had already found out the family situation of all the people.
There are several small landowning families here, but they don't have much land. The largest family among them only has 150 acres of land.
Most other common people only have a dozen or twenty acres per family, and the average family member only has three to five acres.
There are even many tenants who do not even own land and work as part-time workers.
Now Song Yang gives each of them fifty acres!
After the work is done, I will be given an additional twenty acres of land as a reward.
If there are three people in the family, there will be one hundred and fifty acres even if the bonus land is not included!
Although this matter has not been finalized yet.
However, Song Yang had asked Yu Ming to quietly start spreading the news.
The people immediately rejoiced after hearing the news.
Be more active and enthusiastic in training and construction.
"Your Majesty, this move is really powerful. Now the people are very motivated!"
When he was free at noon, Yu Ming came to report to Song Yang again.
"There are only so many people now. How much land does Jiangzhou City have?"
"Each person can't get enough of a thousand acres!"
"Instead of letting it go to waste, it is better to use it to unite people's hearts."
Song Yang saw clearly that empty resources that cannot be used are waste resources.
There is a lot of unowned land, wouldn't it be a good idea to give it away?
"Your Majesty, if any refugees come here in the future, will they also be given land?" Fang Zhe asked.
Fang Zhe was also brought to this meeting.
The three of them met in the open space between the quarantine camps.
Fang Zhe is getting much better. According to Dr. Lu, he will recover in two or three days.
"Give! How can you attract people if you don't give?"
Song Yang nodded first, then changed the subject and said: "But you can't give more!"
"The six thousand of us are now the core!"
"My opinion is that the refugees who come back will only be given twenty acres of land!"
In the past two days, hundreds more people have come to seek refuge.
Now the number of people in Jiangzhou has reached more than 6,300.
Yesterday, Song Yang asked Yu Ming to build another refugee camp at the other end of the close contact camp to accommodate the people who came later.
It also requires that all newly arrived refugees in the future must be quarantined in refugee camps for fifteen days.
During these fifteen days, only life-threatening gruel will be provided.
After the quarantine period is over, they can be moved to the main camp to be resettled and assigned work.
"This...then will they just leave?" Fang Zhe was a little worried.
There are wastelands everywhere now, and the refugees can't find a piece of land wherever they go.
What Jiangzhou lacks most now is people. If it can't retain people, it won't be worth the loss.
"Hmph! You can leave at any time if you want. If you come back later, the treatment will be even lower!"
Song Yang snorted softly.
It’s not that he insists on making class distinctions.
This is the mentality of the people now.
The first batch of people who followed Song Yang to build the camp must consider themselves to be the core group of founders of the construction.
Later refugees can directly enjoy the construction achievements of their predecessors. This makes the previous people think.
So for now, there are still differences.
This is also a necessary means to mobilize survivors' enthusiasm for work.
If the later survivors want to live a better life, they must work harder instead of being overwhelmed.
Yu Ming agreed with Song Yang’s philosophy and said:
"Your Majesty is right. Pei Lin said that now Jiangning City is gone and there is chaos outside!"
"If you want to survive, this is the safest place for us!"
The Pei Lin he was talking about was the messenger who went to Jiangning to ask for help.
"That's right! There may not be a nobleman of the prince's status in other places. In Jiangzhou, the prince has the final say."
Fang Zhe also thought about it a little more.
For the common people, most of them prefer to move closer to order.
Rather than going in the direction of disorder.
There is a prince like Song Yang in Jiangzhou. In the eyes of the people, he still represents the emperor and the imperial court.
To hang out with Song Yang is to hang out with the imperial court of Daqian.
"This is just a preliminary consideration for me. When the specific matters become more stable, we can hold a formal meeting to discuss it."
"Master Yu, Master Fang..."
Song Yang can't help but feed people chicken soup for the soul.
After opening his mouth, he realized that these two people were his confidants.
If you have a smart mind and understand clearly, you don't need to pour chicken soup at all.
So he looked around and said, "Everyone works hard! Come on!"
