Vol 4 Chapter 3219: State-owned farms **** ji. olp gravity


Liu Muzhi said calmly: "In the short term, the only solution is to establish autonomous villages like Jiangbei, and then spend money to hire people who are good at farming, and also find agricultural experts who are good at water conservancy and fertilizer. To serve as officials, under the guidance of these people, the common people take the village as a small unit and the pavilion, li, and hill as the medium unit to form one by one manor. The land of the manor belongs to the state and can be rented to tenant farmers. Agricultural tools can also be provided by the state, but the proportion is higher when they are divided.

Liu Yu said sternly: "Isn't this the way that Cao Cao's households settled in the Three Kingdoms period? The state collects 60% of the tax. If you provide cattle and farm tools, it will charge 70%?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the ownership of these lands must be returned to the state, and on this basis, they will be distributed to those who do not have land, so as to ensure such a high tax. Of course, we don't have to pay such a high tax as Cao Cao did. If there is more, pay 30% of the tax, and if it is allocated to cattle, it will be 40%. These people do not need to perform military service and corvée service, as long as they pay the tax on grain and cloth.

Liu Yu said thoughtfully: "This sounds good, 30% of the tax, free of forced labor, should be able to afford it. It's just that according to the current Dajin law, all the people have to divide the land, what you said Where do people who have no land come from?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "In the short term, there are two sources of this kind of people, one is the people who surrendered after Yan's extermination this time, in addition to according to your plan, distributed to the more than 2,000 households of the noble family, more than 10,000 people. In addition to the people, there should be more than 200,000 Xianbei people in the city, plus the Hu people in various places, not a small number. We can not rush to allocate land to them, but to cultivate in state-owned farms for three to five years. Only conditions can be allocated to land in the future, and now that they are in a state of collapse, they are satisfied with their lives, and this condition should be acceptable.

Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi also paused: "Moreover, the Xianbei people used to only fight wars, occasionally herd, and never farm the land by themselves. In the future, if they want to fully integrate into our Central Plains, they will learn this kind of farming sooner or later. This time After exterminating Yan, you can count and sort out their men and horses, if they are strong armored cavalry, these are iron cavalry with strong professional quality, then let them continue to join the army."
"I think 5,000 to 10,000 people are enough, and the rest of the average males are scattered all over Qingzhou. As the guards of the farm, they don't have to cultivate the land, but their family members must learn to cultivate the land and weaving. In name, they are Lending it to a family to care for the home can actually take this opportunity to learn farming skills.

Liu Yu nodded: "In this way, it is not a bad thing for the family to be able to partially manage the farms and ranches in the land of Qingzhou. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone can be considered as an explanation for them, only to make them happy and willing to take the initiative. If you come to Qingzhou to operate, you can send some skilled village heads to teach farming, just like in Jiangbei."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yes, half of the Zhuangkes in this manor are from Xianbei who surrendered. As for the other half, they can attract the Zhuangke tenants from the local powerful families in Qingzhou to come here. This may be more important. If you want to have long-term stability here in Qingzhou, you have to make the country stronger and stronger, and the local local strength to weaken as much as possible."
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "What do you mean, you want to compete with the local tycoons for human resources? This is equivalent to winning their business owners, is it really appropriate?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "The Han people in Qingzhou have been powerful since the Qi Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and many families have changed from the former Qi state's public office, just like the Bohai Gao clan, which used to be Jiang The clan of the Qi Kingdom, they have been here for more than a thousand years as a local snake, a large number of people are attached to them, and their family also occupies a large amount of land."
"Since the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the country for a hundred years, no matter which foreign force entered Qilu, they could only cooperate with these big clans, give their clan leaders official positions, power, and recognize the land and tenants they owned, in exchange for their loyalty to this dynasty."
Liu Yu nodded: "It is precisely because of their huge power that they have just destroyed Nanyan, and if they are unstable here, they have to people from them. Is this really possible?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Muzhi's eyes: "Our advantage over these big clans is that we have a strong army to suppress them. Even if the army retreats, the original Yan army of Xianbei people can still be left here, and it is also the new one who has surrendered to us. The attached army is here, plus some left-behind troops, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to suppress the big clans and tyrants here, and they dare not make mistakes. They did a good job in attacking Guanggu this time, so we did not move their land, even It can also be added symbolically as a gesture of goodwill. But the population of this land is another matter, and there is no reason for them to occupy it forever."
Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth: "So, aren't we going to allocate land to these people? In this way, everyone will naturally have land, and they will also leave the original territory of these big clans. But now, instead of dividing land for the people, we use To attract people in the name of state-owned farms, are there really people willing to come?

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "If we do this kind of state-owned farms like this, it means that we have taken the land that was originally going to be distributed to the people and concentrated on this kind of agricultural construction. The local people in Qilu have almost only two choices left, or Continue to be a tenant in the village of a powerful family, or come to our new state-owned farm~EbookFREE.me~ to engage in agriculture under the leadership of the state, I have inquired, if the local farmers here are tenant farmers, they should Pay about 50% of the tax to the local tyrants, if we only need 30%, and we also provide seeds, farm tools, and military protection, then the local people will definitely be willing to defect."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It sounds good, but are the merchants really willing to come? They have a contract with the local powerful family."
A smug look flashed on Liu Muzhi's face: "These contracts were not signed by Da Jin, the so-called emperor and courtier, Nan Yan is dead, I Da Jin can selectively announce that these original contracts are void, Those who are willing to come to our manor are given the status of free people, so the dilemma is self-solving."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really wonderful, everything is solved easily, you didn't tell me this before the war, why did you start to mention it now?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "This idea has been around for a long time, but I had an agreement with the family before. To be honest, I don't know how to resolve it. In the end, it was you who came forward to handle this, so I dared to make this plan. Take it out. Moreover, in the future, we will attract not only the powerful tenants of Qingzhou, but even the people of the enemy countries in Hebei and the Central Plains who want to defect, can also do the same.
