"All people without land can divide their fields into family units. Among them, the male head can be divided into three acres of land, the female head can be divided into two acres, and the elderly over fifty can be divided into one acre. Within four children, regardless of gender, each Get another half acre. If the child is over sixteen years old and unmarried, he can get one acre."
As Taimarang's translation voice finished, the whole audience started talking enthusiastically again.
Although they still didn't understand some of Wang Teng's words, they were definitely right after hearing Tian's words, which could be divided a lot. For some families who had nothing, this was a great joy. Their faces could not hide the joy. Some people even shouted: "Long live Da Yi."
As for whether these fields are illegal and will be taken back by the shogunate, they don't care at all.
"Quiet, everyone be quiet, listen to what Master Tianbing has to say." Looking at the mess below, Taimarang had no choice but to raise his voice and shouted.
After a while, it finally became quieter.
"Next is the issue of land taxation." Seeing this, Wang Teng continued.
...
come yet?
At this time, the people below became nervous again.
Also, with so much land allocated to us, the taxes should not be low. After all, they have to rely on our taxes to fight their wars.
"Because we are currently at war with the shogunate. The current land tax is set at three dou per mu. After the war is completely over, it will be reduced to two dou per mu. Of course, if someone in your family joins the army, you may also get lower taxes and More fields," Wang Teng said.
After listening to Wang Teng's words, Taimarang was a little distracted and even forgot to translate.
"Master Tianbing, are taxes so low?" Taimarang asked in fluent Chinese.
What is the concept of three buckets per mu? Calculated based on the difference in land, as long as you work hard, it is no problem to produce more than one stone per mu.
In other words, at least nine buckets to one stone of rice can be left for each mu of land.
Even if a family is only allocated five acres of land, as long as they work hard, it is not difficult to eat white rice every day.
That’s white rice that’s rare to eat a few times a year!
"Of course, we, Da Yi, have never thought about Japan. We don't like your land tax. If the tax is lower, will your people live a better life?" Wang Teng looked indifferent.
"Yes, yes, the Celestial Empire is the true master of kings, so I know it is correct." Taimarang, who was "deeply" influenced by Confucianism, replied excitedly.
Then he translated the good news to the people below, and at the same time helped to promote Da Yi's benevolent and righteous deeds from the bottom of his heart.
The people down there don't know much about it, and they don't have much to do with it, but I heard that Dayi's tax on them is only three dou per mu, and it will be changed to two dou per mu after the war. They were all excited and cursed the shogunate as rubbish and all the daimyo deserved death. They should bask in the imperial favor of the Celestial Empire.
During this period, some people asked whether their fields would be returned to the hands of the daimyo if the imperial army were defeated by the abominable shogunate army. Someone immediately suggested that they should join the heavenly soldiers and drive away the shogunate. They could not let the shogunate continue to oppress their people. Let the whole of Japan bathe in the imperial favor of the Celestial Empire.
The meeting was a success, and everything went smoothly under the guidance of Wang Teng and others, intentionally or unintentionally. So after Wang Teng and others distributed the rice, many young people in the village reluctantly asked Wang Teng and others to Teng and others must come to their village to recruit as soon as possible. They must make great contributions to the liberation of Japan.

Zhenwo Island
The news that everything was going well ahead gave this originally tense military base a rare sense of relief.
At this time, Li Kaifu was sitting on a big rock and fishing leisurely.
"Li Shuai, I don't understand. Our coalition forces are overwhelmingly powerful in Japan. We have done our best by not burning, killing, looting, and killing the Japanese. Why do we still bother to provide relief to them and divide their fields?" Kind of management?" Li Huaqi, the nephew of the family who was following Li Kaifu, asked in confusion.
"Hua Qi, have you ever caught fish?" Li Kaifu said in a low voice.
"Well, I rarely go fishing." Li Huaqi obviously did not expect that Kaifu Li would ask this question, so he could only answer truthfully with a slight embarrassment.
"Really? In fact, I rarely fish. But you have to know that fishing naturally requires bait, but once the fish takes the bait, it is up to you." Li Kaifu said in a deep voice while looking at the sea.
"Well, Li Shuai, I don't quite understand what it means." Li Huaqi once again scratched his head in embarrassment and said.
"You are still young. It's okay to not understand now. You will understand after you look back and think about it more. Now these things about Japan are decided by our Majesty. Our Majesty's attitude towards Japan has never been good. So, it is nothing more than a joke. Use bait, put out a long line, and catch big fish." Looking at his nephew in front of him, Kaifu Li preached with a rare good temper.
"Think about it, who originally owned those fields?"
"A Japanese daimyo?"
"Yes or no, strictly speaking, it belongs to the Japanese people." Kaifu Lee corrected.
"For the majority of Japanese people who have no land, if we allocate the daimyo's fields to them, then whose side will the Japanese people side with?"
"Of course it's our side, otherwise they would be willing to give back the fields we allocated to them? What's more, the tax on the fields we set is so low, who would be willing to go back and let those big names exploit us." Li Huaqi seemed to be listening. After understanding something, his voice became a little excited.
"That's right. During this period, we only need to pay some money and property upfront, and then we can lever this lever and let it roll. Next, you will find that a large number of Japanese people continue to join us, or Expect us to rescue them. And all we need to pay is to return Japanese land to the Japanese people, and then the whole of Japan will become ours willingly." Kaifu Li looked across the sea in the direction of Japan with a smile on his face.
"As long as Japan falls into our hands, everything can boil the frog in warm water and take our time."
"Burning, killing and looting can relieve hatred, but it will only arouse more hatred and cause more casualties to our army, which cannot achieve the political purpose. Remember, all wars only serve politics."
"Yes, Li Shuai. Your Majesty's strategy is really amazing. Will the Japanese see it and oppose us?" Li Huaqi asked with emotion and some worry.
"There will definitely be some. But if you are smart, we will include them; if you are stubborn, we will kill them. As long as I have the power, they will understand." Li Kaifu said disdainfully.
