Liang Xiao explained: "These farmlands originally had tenant farmers cultivating the fields for the Tuoba family, but the 'rent' required to be paid exceeded 40% of the harvest. Your Majesty accepted our suggestion and continued to employ these farmers, but the rent collection ratio will be reduced." To within 30%. At the same time, we promise to provide them with rations before the farmland is harvested, and these rations will be deducted from part of their income according to the situation after the harvest."
The two sisters' eyes lit up: "Isn't this considered a sharecropper?"
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "This is a 'civilian camp', and there will be a 'military camp' in the future. A part of the army in a safe area of the country is selected to be stationed in the camp. They are responsible for farming and reclamation in peacetime, and can fight in wartime. In this way, the army does not need Transporting large amounts of grain from other places can also reduce the pressure on the national finances."
"That's it!" Mu Qinxue suddenly realized, looking at Liang Xiao with blurry eyes, "Is this what you came up with?"
She was well-read and certainly knew some military stuff.
The transportation of grain and grass is extremely laborious.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a saying that "eat the enemy for one minute, and take advantage of me for twenty." This means that only one-twentieth of the food transported from the starting point to the front line may be left.
Much of this was consumed by the men and livestock of the convoys.
The transportation in Dazhou was convenient and there were many vehicles and beasts of burden, but when the food was transported from the starting point to the front line, it was less than one-tenth.
If the army close to the front line can implement military and civilian settlements, there will be no need to mobilize large quantities of food from other places in the future.
War is all about logistics.
Zhuge Hui is the only one who can be as famous as the great Zhou Martial Saint of the past in terms of military skills.
In addition to military training, Zhuge Hui also attached great importance to logistics. Without him to coordinate and coordinate, it would not have been so easy for Emperor Gaozu to conquer the north and south.
After Liang Xiao handed the Quyuan plow blueprint to Mu Qinxue and hid it, he stood up and said, "It's time to prepare for the recruitment. There are many heroes in Yanyun land. If the atmosphere is corrected, it's time to let them live and work in peace and contentment, or make achievements."
In the inn, the knight leader Chixue Jian was reading the new issue of the newspaper.
Liu Yuan ran in from outside and said excitedly: "Chief, Marquis Lanling has started recruiting troops again! The declaration of recruiting troops is: A man born in this world should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements!"
Qing Yi's beautiful eyes lit up and she couldn't help but get up.
Under the protection of the female Xuan Guard, the two headed to the school grounds in the west.
The school ground outside Yanzhou West City is now crowded with people.
The big Sunday newspaper had publicized it in various places in advance.
Tens of thousands of applicants from all over Youzhou gathered here, and everyone looked eager.
In addition, there were thousands of idle people, mostly boys and girls, who came to watch the fun.
The selection criteria for the Liang family army was to carry a designated size of weapons and military rations and march a hundred miles in half a day.
Of course, if we march in such a hurry every day, few people can stand it.
But once you pass the selection, you will have a monthly salary of three taels of silver.
For ordinary people, an income of 800 yuan a month is enough to live a normal life, and they can occasionally buy some wine and meat.
The newspaper also clearly recorded that the first batch of Liang Jiajun, 2,400 people, provided good wine and meat for a long time!
Subsequent members who join the Liang Family Army must perform outstandingly if they want to receive equal treatment.
For example, the training effect is outstanding, playing a good leading role, or killing the enemy and making meritorious service on the battlefield.
Moreover, the Liang family's cavalry can also give priority to providing good horses from the Western Regions.
This is the treatment a soldier dreams of!
Tens of thousands of people squeezed their heads and came from all over Youzhou in advance to recharge their batteries.
Even the men from Jizhou and Liaodong who came to Youzhou stayed in Yanzhou after hearing about this, waiting for selection.
Even if you are not selected, you will still be responsible for the day's meals. The meal specifications are the same as those of normal soldiers, but better than those of ordinary people.
At the same time, as long as the loser tries his best and can run seventy or eighty miles in half a day, depending on the situation, he can get at least three hundred cash in hard-earned money. This is a promise clearly recorded in the big Sunday newspaper.
Three hundred cents is more than enough to cover the carriage fare and meal expenses.
Liang Xiao on the high platform was speaking.
"The people of Yanzhou are strong and fierce. In the past, public security was not good and bullies and hooligans were rampant. I have tried my best to rectify it!"
"I hope you all understand that you are fighting for your country, your family, and of course, your own future! After being selected into the Liang Family Army, you must strictly abide by military orders and do not bring old bad habits into the army, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law!"
"The Liang family's army is expected to expand to tens of thousands, but... it would be better to have a shortage than a surplus!"
The applicants below were in awe.
Of course they heard what Liang Xiao meant.
First of all, the person must be clean and have no serious criminal record.
Secondly, even if you were once a gangster and bully, no matter how good you are, after becoming the Liang Jiajun, you will treat everyone equally and accept the shaping of the Liang Jiajun group and become a true elite.
Gong Yanglei's death has left countless people who want to cheat, cheat, and bully men and women to burst into tears.
In Yanzhou, they could already intuitively feel the results of Liang Xiao's rectification.
Bullies and gangsters are rarely seen on the streets, even in some remote areas.
After all, everyone is worried that one day Liang Xiao's emperor's sword will cut on his neck.
According to their knowledge, Liang Xiao, the son of Youzhou Biejia and the core member of the great family, had not been spared. What reason was there to spare other criminals?
The seven-day selection began in full swing.
Nearly 30,000 people were divided into three waves of testing.
The Liang family's 10,000-strong army also needs 2,000 reservists who can be regularized and replenished at any time. This is permitted by the imperial court.
And the number of chartered reserves that Duan Yunyi gave Liang Xiao was 5,000!
This means that the Liang family army actually has 15,000 people, but the regular army only has 10,000 people.
The other five thousand reserves can be deployed by Liang Xiao at will, or they can be temporarily assigned to the Yanzhou garrison outside the Liang family army to listen to his orders.
Zhuge Ding serves as Liang Xiao's nominal adjutant, and Zhuge Hui has high hopes for him.
This nephew is reliable and cautious, but he has always lacked an opportunity for meritorious service and promotion. In the past, he could only help handle military affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The appearance of Liang Xiao gave Zhuge Ding an opportunity to make full use of his talents.
Among the crowd, Qing Yi and Liu Yuan looked at Liang Xiao's figure on the high platform from a distance, full of hope.
The 2,400 Liang Jiajun have shown their style to the people.
This is just the culmination of months of training.
Yanzhou will definitely change with his arrival!
They left without saying a word.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back, fascinated.
The high platform where Liang Xiao was sitting was not far from the people's side, and her eyesight was also very good, so she could clearly see his movements and expressions from a distance.
She didn't know how long it took before she came back to her senses, lowered her head slightly, and left with Liu Yuan.
When Liang Xiao returned to the prefect's mansion, the female Xuan guard had been waiting here for a long time.
"Master Marquis, this is the message from the two girls. They asked us to tell you that there is no need to worry about their safety."
Liang Xiao took the note and looked at it. There were two lines of writing on it, with elegant handwriting.
[Xiahou Qingyi, Xiahou Liuyuan, thank you Lanlinghou for your care. 】
[See you later. 】
