Chapter 467 Happy New Year's Day
After the population book of Mo Town was counted, Lin Ze asked Jin Yuan and his team to select some old and weak people in Mo Town. Men and women went to the surrounding areas of Mo Town to reclaim wasteland and dig water wells, and at the same time, they asked Huangsha Town to make a large number of water presses.
The groundwater level in Mo Town is also very deep. If you want to get water, it is best to have a water press.
In fact, there are still many fields around Mo Town, but most of the fields here have been abandoned due to lack of water sources. Moreover, these fields are still in the hands of some wealthy people in Mo Town. Lin Ze would not be able to get them in a short period of time.
When Lin Ze started, he did not expect to get these fields. At present, Mo Town and the fields of all the hundreds of households involved a large number of officers and the interests of the powerful. Although Lin Ze was the general, he did not have the ability to get most of the fields in a very short time. He didn't have time to wear them too much. Therefore, Lin Ze planned to open up new fields and re-plan the fields in Mo Town.
Anyway, there are enough fire armored cows and sufficient personnel (disabled people). It is not difficult to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of land in Mo Town. Moreover, this can also find things for refugees without permanent property to do and allow them to make money to survive. This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Moreover, this can also select talents among the refugees for Lin Ze.
As Lin Ze's strength expands, the talent gap will become bigger and bigger. There are countless talents in the Kyoto Marquis' Mansion. However, Lin Ze is not interested in these talents and does not want to use them, because those talents belong to the Kyoto Marquis' Mansion, not Lin Ze himself.
Lin Ze didn't want to make wedding clothes for others in the end, so he would rather lack manpower now than first ensure that the talents are loyal to him.
Talents who have become refugees have suffered some polishing and understand the sufferings of the people from the bottom of their hearts. Such people are the talents Lin Ze really wants.
Whenever Lin Ze discovers such a talent, he will find a way to slowly absorb it into his own hands.
As for worrying about whether there is enough space here in Mo Town to reclaim the land, haha, there is no need to worry at all.
Along the surrounding area of Mo Town, there is a large amount of wasteland that can be reclaimed, some of which have already occurred in semi-desertification and have long been abandoned.
However, although it is semi-desertized land, about thirty or forty centimeters underground is fertile land, so Lin Ze is not worried at all that the reclaimed land is wasteland.
Although it is already early spring, the temperature in the sandbank is not low, which is more than ten degrees in winter. Therefore, it is not too late to reclaim the land now, at most, the grain is harvested a little later.
So Lin Ze immediately asked Jin Yuan and others to start organizing people to reclaim the fields, but he began to scold the Huojiao. It would be impossible to plow the land to 40 or 50 centimeters without the help of the Huojiao.
With the help of Huojiao, Lin Ze believed that Mo Town would soon become the next Huangsha Town. As for the rations needed to reclaim the fields, Lin Ze said that money was no longer a matter for him. He asked Jin Yuan and the others to do it, how much funds they need and how much funds they provide themselves!
In the first stage, Lin Ze planned to reclaim 50,000 acres of land first. It was not that Lin Ze did not want to reclaim more land, but that there was not enough manpower.
There are no refugees in Mo Town now, and all the refugees have gone to Huangsha Town. Therefore, if you want to vigorously reclaim the land, you have to wait for some time to wait until a large number of refugees come here.
The fields here in Mo Town are also reclaimed according to the method of Huangsha Town, digging wells, and finally dividing the fields to households.
As for how much land each person allocates, it depends on the number of land that was finally reclaimed.
However, no matter how much land each person gets in Mo Town will definitely not be more than the number allocated by the people in Huangsha Town.
No matter how much Huangsha Town is, it is also the starting point of Linze. The people in Mo Town cannot be treated the same as the people in Huangsha Town, right?!
Everyone in Mo Town has more or less heard about the things in Huangsha Town, and everyone is envious of the people in Huangsha Town.
Now Lin Ze has begun to implement the same policy as Huangsha Town in Mo Town. Mo Town also needs to reclaim land and reclaim fields and make wells like Huangsha Town. Moreover, I heard that working can make you eat enough, and you still have money to get it. In the future, there will be fields and oxen to share.
For a time, everyone in Mo Town was scrambling to become a member of the land reclamation. Everyone was surrounding Hu Wei and others, hoping to choose to work.
Lin Ze handed over the farming matter to Hu Wei and others, and as for the training of the Qianhu Station of Mo Town, he handed over it directly to Xu Sheng.
....................................
On this day, at five o'clock in the morning, the cold wind in the morning was even worse in the military camp of Qianhu Inn in Mo Town. After the old and weak were eliminated in Qianhu Inn, the remaining 256 young and strong men were braved the cold and concentrated in the teaching ground of Qianhu Inn.
These people are young and strong men from the age of sixteen to thirty-five. In the future, Lin Ze will train them all into a new army.
According to the military rules set by Linze before, they will become real soldiers, not only can they eat enough and eat well every day, but also have the military pay after they are paid.
Previously, the military pay for these stone soldiers was only twenty silver coins a month, but now it has increased directly to fifty silver coins. In the end, the military pay for those who can endure training and become real soldiers will directly increase to eighty silver coins. When fighting in wartime, there will be subsidies, usually about half of the military pay.
Of course, they also have distributions of the income seized in war, usually one-third of the income seized.
Not only that, their families can be divided into fifty acres of land, agricultural tools and other items, and the tax on these lands is only one-third.
In fact, Lin Ze looked down on these one-third of the taxes, but if Lin Ze collected taxes on these fields, perhaps things would happen in the late Ming Dynasty on Earth in the future.
A large amount of land became military fields for soldiers, and then, tax-free, and finally, the country's finances collapsed, so Lin Ze gave these soldiers low taxes, not zero taxes.
Moreover, these fields only enjoy twenty years of preferential treatment after the soldiers are discharged from the army, and after twenty years, taxes will return to their original appearance.
Without time limits, the disadvantages will be huge.
It is considered a discount until the soldier dies, and there will actually be some disadvantages here.
For these discounts, some people will directly conceal the news of the soldier's death and keep it silent. In this case, it will be too miserable for this soldier!
These men will become full-time soldiers, and their fields will be farmed by their wives, children and family members, and they will have to devote themselves to a lot of training.
There are only more than 200 young and strong soldiers here now, and in the next few days, nearly 1,000 young and strong people will enter here.
For these more than 200 young and strong men, Lin Ze directly served as the veterans of Huangsha Town as officers and leaders, and was organized according to the current battalion.
It’s not that Lin Ze didn’t know the organization of the modern army. Lin Ze was a special forces instructor in these places in Africa for a period of time, so Lin Ze knew the military system on earth very clearly.
It is undeniable that the military system on earth is indeed very good, but such an organization is only suitable for hot weapons. In the era of cold weapons, such an organization is not suitable. If you want to implement such an organization, you have to change it.
However, it took a lot of time to change such a unit, so Lin Ze still decided on the organization of Chu in the army.
Of course, Lin Ze still added a little change in the meantime.
Thirteen people and one armored person, with two sergeants, each in charge of swords, shields, and spears, plus one armored person.
The fifth team is the first team, with two deputy captains and one captain.
The four teams were one whistle, with three deputy whistle commanders, and one person was slightly longer, and a team of archers were ordered to be appointed.
The two posts are one general, with three deputy generals, one general, and two cavalry teams.
The baggage team, craftsman camp, archer troops, and cavalry troops were all built separately.
Lin Ze will set up so many deputy players to quickly expand his army in the future.
If the troops increase, Lin Ze can simply expand the whistle and the total unit, with enough deputy to expand the army several times, which is easy for Lin Ze.
Lin Ze also attached great importance to the discipline in the army. He specially set up a military court, and this was the first time that it appeared in the Chu army.
In Lin Ze's military rules, the laws of disputes and laws in the future were determined by military discipline officials. Officers were not allowed to punish soldiers privately, except for the training of military sticks.
The guards beside each officer are dispatched by the headquarters. The officers are not allowed to add guards in private, and they are also guards. If they need to add guards, they must inform their superiors to approve them. Lin Ze's actions in this way are equivalent to depriving the officers of the future of adding guards and completely breaking the atmosphere of favoring one and overestimating the other in the army.
After the new army is determined by the armor, team, and whistle, each soldier has a waist card, especially the length of the armor. The waist card is even more remembered by the names of all the soldiers in the armor. In the future, who is poor and rich, who is stronger and weak, and who is called out, the length of the armor must be known.
Here, Lin Ze also changed a little bit.
The soldiers' waist tags are also engraved with their blood types. In this way, once they are injured, they can quickly input appropriate blood.
This measure greatly increased the soldiers' loyalty to Lin Ze.
Now they don’t understand the purpose of Lin Ze doing this, but when they go to the battlefield and get injured, they all understand the purpose of Lin Ze doing this.
Therefore, Lin Ze's soldiers were unparalleled in loyalty to him.
