Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 643 Announcing the New Deal and Supporting the Common People
Under the inconceivable eyes of the surrounding people, the tractor started to move forward.

At this moment, the rake on the back of the tractor penetrated deeply into the soil. Ling Chong stepped on the nose of the tractor, and stepped on the rake with the other foot, and the rake made several deep ravines in the ground.

Qin Feng sat in the driver's seat of the tractor and was responsible for controlling the direction of the tractor's nose.

Soon, the tractor was driving from one end of the field to the other.

However, in the gap under the rake, many stones and various weeds have been gathered together and kneaded into a ball.

Qin Feng found a shovel and cleared all these stones from the ground.

Driving from one end to the other is at least tens of meters away, but it only took a few minutes.

At this speed, it would take less than half an hour to clean up the entire land.

The surrounding people finally began to believe.

But the matter is not over yet, Qin Feng smiled, and continued to say to the people in front of him: "In addition to the rake, the things hanging on the back of the tractor can be replaced with iron plows or other tools. It is naturally easy to clean up this piece of land."

He took out all the tools he had prepared in advance and showed them to everyone.

For a while, these people became more and more excited. They used to plow the land with oxen to pull the plow, but no matter how strong the oxen were, they would sometimes get tired.

Compared with scalpers, this tractor has countless benefits.

First of all, it is naturally a long-term problem. As long as the tractor has oil, it can run. Even if the engine is overheated, it is only half an hour to rest. But after the scalper is tired, it needs to rest for at least half a day.

In addition, the scalper is a living thing after all. Farmers have ten months of farming in a year, but the time they can use the scalper is not enough for two or three months, but they also need to raise the scalper at other times. .

This is also the origin of the cowherd boy. Generally speaking, during the busy farming season, every household has to cultivate land, but when the farming is slack, they have to find other ways to earn money.

But the cattle still need to eat, so naturally they have to be taken out to find grass to eat.

If anyone has children, it is most appropriate to entrust this matter to the children in the family. Anyway, these children can't do much at all. It takes a whole day to walk outside with a cow.

But if you don't have children, you have to spare time to herd cattle, which is a troublesome thing for anyone.

Now this tractor is different, just find a dry and cool place to store it, and then take it out when needed, as long as there are no major problems with these iron lumps, there is no need to bother at all.

Moreover, the price of a scalper is also around 30 taels of silver. This thing is not known to be much better than a scalper, and it only costs 50 taels of silver.

More importantly, this money can still be credited, that is to say, the money they sold the scalpers before can be temporarily used to improve their lives.

With such a tractor, as long as you are not a lazy person, how can you not earn ten taels of silver in a year?
Thinking of this, the surrounding people also became excited.

At this moment, Qin Feng announced his second decree.

"From now on, I will gradually divide the areas that can be used for arable land in Yunnan Province. In this area, you can freely reclaim after reporting to the government. All the reclaimed land will belong to you. At the same time, in the next five years During the year, the annual tax is five and one, and there are no other taxes and fees, if anyone charges you an extra penny, you can just come to me."

Qin Feng has already made a plan. Today's Yundian Province can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles. As the saying goes, serious diseases require strong medicine and medicine. To solve this situation, drastic reforms are naturally needed.

Although doing so will violate the interests of many people, Qin Feng has the confidence that no matter what difficulties he faces, he will have a way to solve them.

Hearing this, the people present were naturally dumbfounded.

They also did not expect that Qin Feng would propose such generous conditions.

The so-called five taxes and one tax means that every year when the grain is ripe, the officials will come to count the grain in their hands, and one mu of grain will be collected from every five mu of land as a tax.

But before Qin Feng came, because of Li Shu's various absurd behaviors, their taxes were even so heavy that it was almost two taxes and one tax. This suddenly increased their income by [-]%. That being said, nature is a great thing.

As for the free reclaiming of land, it is actually not a new rule, or it has not been restricted before. It is just too troublesome to reclaim the land with hoes, sickles and cattle, so there are not many people Really do it.

But now the situation is different. With the existence of tractors, the efficiency of their plowing can naturally be greatly improved.

In addition, it is still winter and it is not the busy season for farming, so they have a lot of time.

Yunnan Province is located in the southwest, and the climate in winter is humid and cold, but the soil does not freeze, so they can even reclaim a lot of wasteland during the Chinese New Year.

Calculated in this way, their income can be at least doubled on the original basis.

Although Qin Feng didn't give them money, the benefits he gave them were far more than money.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. What Qin Feng is doing now is this kind of thing.

In the eyes of the surrounding people, Qin Feng naturally nodded calmly: "Everyone, I wonder if you still have any objections to what I just said?"

Faced with such a great good thing, how can the common people have any objections?Of course they were cheering.

"My lord, of course we are willing to do what you said, but you said just now that we can buy a tractor on credit, how can we get it?"

"Yeah, how can I buy a tractor?"

Only then did the common people realize that the reform policies released by Qin Feng were good and true, but they were all based on one tractor for each family.

If you can't get a tractor, then everything else is useless.

This time, Qin Feng was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, before he promoted the tractor, he really thought that the tractor would be popular with many people, but what she didn't expect was that almost all the people who saw the tractor fell in love with such a big iron guy.

After careful calculation, people who want tractors now need at least a thousand tractors in Yuchun City alone.
