Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 48: Dividing the Field

On this day, the people of Jinyang City rushed to tell each other, their faces were full of joy. The reason was that the state pastoral office wanted to distribute all the fields in Jinyang based on population. Everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, was equal. This made them a little bit confused.

It’s unbelievable, especially those fertile fields, with yields of up to four stones per mu, which have always been controlled by powerful people in the city. Many people can only pay for their labor and barely make a living every year.

The feeling of farming for others is completely different from farming for yourself.

"Don't believe it, something happened in the city some time ago." A commoner with some knowledge lowered his voice: "There were people in the city who rebelled, and they were wiped out by the troops led by the adults. Their fields were all confiscated, and Mr. Zhou Mu also

If you don’t cultivate the land, the land will be given to us.”

"Nonsense. If you don't want to farm the land, you can allocate it to your officials, or you can hire people to farm it. Is he willing to part with so much land?" someone retorted.

"It seems like you haven't built the city wall yet. You get ten cents a day, two meals, and meat every now and then. Have you ever encountered such a good thing before?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhou Mu kept his promise and said that the land must be divided. How could he still lie to us? I came from Luoyang and now I live in a house. I also reclaimed several acres of wasteland outside the city. At the beginning, I

If it weren't for you, our whole family would have died on the way to Chang'an."

Although the people were skeptical, they still couldn't resist their enthusiasm to go and have a look. Spring plowing was about to begin. It would be better if they could get a few more acres of land. There might be surplus food next year.

Lu Bu advocated the division of land according to population. The previous situation in Jinyang made him a little unbelievable. Basically all the fertile land was in the hands of powerful people. What the common people owned was only barren land. They paid annual taxes.

After the tax, there was not much food left, so the rich had to farm their land to barely feed their families. Life was extremely difficult.

Equally dividing the land is undoubtedly a challenge to the centuries-old system of the Han Dynasty. For hundreds of years, it has been a common practice for the powerful to own more fields. Some officials have a lot of fields and they can't finish them all.

, can be left and sold, the poor people will only become poorer and poorer, and the rich will become richer and richer.

Basically, the land in the hands of the common people is not good, so they naturally agree with the state and animal husbandry government's policy of dividing the land.

Li Su felt that his heart couldn't bear it. His lord didn't know where he learned it from. It seemed that everything was a struggle against the aristocratic family. It was foreseeable that once the people of Jinyang really divided the land equally, it would have an impact on the aristocratic families in the world.

How big is it.

In the future, there will be unimaginable difficulties in truly controlling Bingzhou. Other aristocratic families may not care about the annihilation of Jinyang's aristocratic families, but if their benefits are distributed to ordinary people, they will definitely bear a grudge.

"Wei Gong, there is no need to say anything. Just do as I say. The aristocratic family, huh, I don't believe that I can't live without them. Are there any members of the aristocratic family under my command? Why do they work so hard to fight?

But the advantage was taken by the aristocratic family."

Lu Bu's words moved the generals on the field. This is their general. For the benefit of his soldiers, he will not hesitate to make enemies of all the famous families in the world. If anyone dares to call Lu Bu a common man, they will be the first to attack him.

"For soldiers killed in battle, we will receive a pension of ten thousand yuan, and the land allocated to their families will be doubled without any taxes. From now on, for soldiers who join the state army, their families will not need to pay taxes." Lu Bu said solemnly.

If the generals in the hall just now felt that the general was domineering, they were speechless at this moment. They could even imagine the excitement of the soldiers. They served as soldiers to protect their families and the country. That was a lie. The situation at home was good, and no one could

I will not choose to be a soldier. Only by becoming a soldier can I have enough food and clothing.

"Okay, it's settled. Anyone who has an opinion can just say it." Lu Bu looked around at everyone.

The corner of Li Su's mouth moved. Looking at the excitement of the generals around him, he had no doubt that if he put forward different opinions, these warriors would eat him.

Lu Bu didn't feel at all how shocking his behavior was. In the future, he would make the soldiers under his command better and better treated, so that they would be proud to be soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, instead of numbly training every day and numbly participating in battles.

If an army wants to be effective in combat, it must have nothing to worry about. What Lu Bu has to do is to make his soldiers dare to serve on the battlefield.

The news spread very quickly, and in less than a day, all the people in Jinyang learned that the fields were to be divided.

"Everyone in Jinyang can be allocated one mu of fertile land, two acres of middle field, and four acres of lower field. My family has four people, and they will be allocated four acres of fertile land, eight acres of middle field, and sixteen acres of lower field. This year I will add more

Keep working hard, there will definitely be more in the coming year." A common man counted with his hands, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. Although his family's land was expropriated by the state and animal husbandry government before, he got significantly more land, including some

There are four acres of fertile land.

"What are you talking about? You didn't see Zhao Lao'er's house next door. His boy is in the army. I heard he is a small commander of the cavalry. He has been allocated eight acres of fertile land and does not need to pay taxes."

The common man was shocked. With the same population, his neighbor had twice as much land as he did, and he didn't have to pay taxes. The most important thing was the latter, which meant that any amount of grain he received was his own.

Although there is no need to pay taxes on cultivated land within three years, it cannot be compared with fertile land.

"There is such a good thing, why didn't I know about it?"

"You, the boy, are just busy calculating how much land you can get. How can you worry about anything else? The army has started to recruit soldiers. I am going to let my eldest son join the army. It is said that soldiers will get paid."

If the division of land has a great impact on the people, then the treatment of the soldiers' families makes all the people excited. As long as there is a soldier in the family, there is no need to pay taxes. The pensions for those killed and injured are very clear, even for soldiers at all levels.

The salary was clearly stated.

Lu Bu started the biggest move in the history of the army, changing the current situation of the army, truly mobilizing every soldier, and letting them see why they are soldiers and the benefits of being a soldier. The monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is 50 yuan.

, the corps commander earns 80 cents, and the commander 100 cents. The cavalry's salary is doubled. Ordinary soldiers can also become officers as long as they perform well. The performance of each soldier will be reported by the commander.

Coupled with the treatment of the soldiers' families, the morale of the army has obviously increased a lot, and the enthusiasm for training has become even higher. If it was more because of Lu Bu's reputation and helplessness in life before, now it is fanatical worship.

However, the military has also begun to implement an elimination system, and soldiers who fail to pass the training for three consecutive times will be kicked out of the army.

The city of Jinyang was in dire straits and was waiting to be renovated. Under the drastic measures of the Prefectural Mufu, a new military system was implemented and the people were given land.
