Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes
Chapter 264. Population
Now the state of Lu is divided into two, Zhang He and the royal family occupy one side in the north and the south, but there is no fight between the two sides.
Zhang He knew how much he weighed, so he didn't want to die.
As a member of the royal family, Feng Zhen represents the royal family in every word and deed. He must cherish his feathers and not damage the reputation of the royal family. All his deeds are good deeds and good governance.
For example, the Flying Cavalry Army successfully expelled the demons and regained the lost land of Lu and Sui. Heishui County once sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts.
After Feng Zhen accepted the gift, he gave back items worth several times the gift.
At the same time, Feng Zhen's government orders are also full of concern for the people.
For example, one of them states that any refugee who migrates to live under his administration will be given 5 mu of land, and some grain and seeds will also be given away.
This decree was spread to the surrounding areas. Under the huge profits, countless tenants abandoned the land rented from the landlord's family, dragged their families, and moved to Lu State or Sui State to settle down. population.
Even many residents of Heishui County could not resist the temptation and migrated north.
At this moment, Wei Peng was reporting the incident to Zhang He.
My lord, in the past month, tenants have fled one after another and secretly moved to the north, and some have even fled entire villages.
So far, 50,000 to 60,000 people have fled Heishui County.
Do we need to build up defenses at the border?
Zhang He had heard about this matter for a long time, but he didn't expect that so many people escaped in just over a month.
Forget it, if you really don't want to stay, let them go.
Zhang He shook his head helplessly. There was no other way. After the continuous war in Heishui County, there might not even be enough food for the winter this year.
Rather than staying here to starve, or even starve to death, it is better to let them go out and find a way out by themselves.
My lord, we also have a lot of wasteland now, do you want to share some of it, so as to ease the hearts of the tenants?
Wei Peng knew that although the land in Heishui County belonged to Zhang He, all the farmers were tenant farmers who helped Zhang He cultivate the land.
In fact, all the land belongs to Zhang He in name, but charging 30% of the land rent is the same as distributing the land. It is better to distribute the land to buy people's hearts.
No points, time will tell.
Zhang He never had this idea of distributing land to tenants.
Even though Heishui County is now less populated and more land, and there are still large tracts of land that cannot be planted and can only be abandoned, he is not willing to distribute them to tenants.
It's not that he is selfish and insists on owning land.
But if he does this, it only takes two or three generations before the land will be concentrated in the hands of a few people.
Then after dozens or hundreds of years, the land will be concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the rest will all be reduced to tenants, becoming the same as other places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this world of supernatural powers, ordinary people end up with nothing.
Since Zhang He crossed over, he has seen many people cannibalizing each other. Ordinary people live like pigs and dogs. He can't save everyone in the world, but at least the power he built shouldn't be so rotten.
To avoid this situation, only by establishing a reasonable system can the survival of the bottom population be truly guaranteed.
Of course, in his power, there will definitely be a large number of dignitaries. There is no way to do this. In a world with extraordinary power, it is impossible for everyone to be equal.
Whoever has power will enjoy more resources and a better life.
What Zhang He can do is to leave a path for all ordinary people to ascend to the sky, not that the descendants of tenant farmers can only be tenant farmers forever.
At present, this channel is still very spacious. Ordinary people can enter the school, and those with excellent grades will be hired as civil servants or join the army. These are very good promotion channels.
Of course he would pick only the best of the few.
In addition, the spiritual mines produced by various mine veins, as well as the demon materials obtained from previous wars, are given to the caravan for sale as soon as possible, even if the value is lower.
The spirit stone obtained,
Priority is used to buy food from all over the place.
The caravan was formed again after the war, but many old caravans had died on the battlefield.
In the past, caravans could complete many transactions in Lu State, but now there are few living people in Lu State.
The reorganized caravan can only transport materials to other countries for trading.
It takes a long time to go back and forth like this.
The caravan is already buying, but the food takes up more space, and the transportation is more laborious. It will take some time.
Okay! Let's try our best to ensure the food supply first. As for the military salary owed by the Blackwater Army, I will do the ideological work myself.
After Zhang He made arrangements for the food, he thought for a while, and then said, Has the record of personal meritorious service in this war been counted?
I'm planning to report to you. I will preside over the statistics with Ma Gan, and the results have already been obtained.
As Wei Peng spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhang He.
Zhang He took the jade slips, which contained a detailed record of each individual's meritorious service, and made an evaluation and scoring of the meritorious service.
Wei Peng called the points everyone got for their meritorious deeds.
With the simple and clear evaluation of merit points, and then awarding awards based on merit, it is much more convenient.
After fighting continuously for the past few years, almost as long as they can survive on the battlefield, they have made great achievements.
Whether they died or survived, they have shed blood and fought for Heishui County. They should not be treated badly, and should be rewarded heavily!
But now Heishui County is so poor that they can't even afford food, so they really can't get any decent prizes.
I still have a few bottles of elixirs here. You can take them. The ones with the highest meritorious service will be distributed first, and the rest of the prizes will be distributed later!
Zhang He took out a few bottles of elixir from the storage bag. There were more than a dozen condensed gold elixirs in it, which were originally prepared for himself, but he didn't expect that he didn't need the elixir and successfully formed the elixirs.
Among his subordinates, there are more than a dozen people who have practiced to the great perfection in the late stage of foundation establishment, to the point where they can hit the golden core realm.
Now give out these condensed golden elixirs as prizes, and maybe add a few more golden elixir period subordinates.
Okay, I'll leave these matters to you. I'm going to be away for a while.
Then Zhang He explained everything around him, and left Heishui County alone.
This time, the space consumption is too large. To restore to the previous state, a large number of spirit stones are needed. At present, Heishui County cannot produce so many spirit stones.
Although there is also a spirit stone vein in Heishui County, but this is only a small vein, and the output of spirit stone is very low, and not much can be dug in a short time.
Moreover, the spirit stone veins can continuously breed new spirit stones, so it cannot be mined too much, otherwise it will be completely destroyed.
Now he can only go to other countries to find ways to raise spirit stones.
