Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

The rest of the month went by in a blink of an eye.

It's August.

The current situation in Qizhou is the same as the weather in midsummer, extremely hot.

Liangshan's troops have pushed forward to Qi, Qing, and Laizhou, and their swords are pointing at Dengzhou.

Dengzhou must be completely captured in a short period of time.

Foreign trade, whether going south or north, must pass through Dengzhou. Wang Lun plans to build a super-large comprehensive terminal in Dengzhou.

There are several ports, multiple trestles, a large number of warehouses, and multiple roads.

The various rivers connecting Dengzhou Port must be mobilized, at least hundreds of thousands of people, to dredge the rivers and then dig deep and widen them to increase ship traffic and transportation capacity.

The official roads on land must also be rebuilt, and the official roads connecting several states must be carried out to high standards.

The entire plan for next year is mainly to build roads, bridges, cars, ships, land allocation... and consolidate internal affairs.

This year's military expansion to 100,000 is already the limit of Liangshan in the short term.

After the cash and food income officially reaches tens of millions next year, we can consider expanding the army to about 200,000 to 300,000 people.

Further expansion can be done at that time.

In August, the Qing Dynasty in Qi, Mi, Qing, Lai and Qingzhou also started with great vigor.

In the first month alone, more than three million acres of public land were cleared.

The next step is to liquidate the evil gentry and local tyrants and redeem the land of ordinary landowners.

At the same time, the registration of ordinary people in the five states began, counting the number of people and households, and preparing to grant land.

Liang Shan is already quite skilled at doing these things.

With the blessing of the"first teacher's blessing", Liangshan has cultivated thousands of officials in more than a year, and various schools are still cultivating more officials.

Liangshan, that is, Wang Lun, planned to implement refined management.

It is not like the Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, where the court, gentry, and clans jointly ruled the world.

Because the cost of governance is high, it requires a large number of smart and capable officials to implement effective governance, which was not possible in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Their officials studied hard for many years in Hanchuang and only knew the meaning of the classics but no knowledge of world affairs.

There are some smart officials, but most of them are pure nerds.

In the Song Dynasty, petty officials and officials co-governed. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, they co-governed with senior officials and local forces.

A seemingly powerful country had limited mobilization capabilities. The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by a small alien nation of tens of thousands of people. The main reason was that there was a huge problem with its governance ability.

It is also an unavoidable common problem of the Qin system of centralization and Confucian governance.

Lack of execution and lack of efficiency.

This is fundamentally in conflict with Confucianism.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the world was governed by law.

There is one pavilion in ten miles and one township in ten pavilions. From Dou Shi officials to legal officials, magistrates and county officials, from Dou Shi to officials with hundreds of stones, two hundred stones, to county magistrates with six hundred stones, and prefects with two thousand stones, the officials have their duties and powers. It is clear that they have been strictly trained in laws and grammar since childhood. They perform official duties and cooperate with the chief officials to restrain the powerful. Prefects and county magistrates have the power to recruit and remove officials by themselves, and cooperate with a large number of law-savvy and petty officials to govern the place.

The high efficiency of the Qin and Han Dynasties brought about an extremely enriched national power!

The Qin State was able to support an army of 800,000 to fight for several years, and the Han Dynasty was able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of cavalry to march thousands of miles away. This is the ability to transform national power into war.

When the Han Dynasty was about to fall, the prefects of border counties could still defeat the surrounding barbarians with the power of one county.

This is the different effects brought about by different governance methods.

In the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, even the military mobilization capabilities, scale, and war support capabilities at the founding of the People's Republic of China were still inferior to those of the Qin and Han Dynasties two thousand years ago.

History is like this. It is not a linear development. It is probably an ellipse. After thousands of years of development, the result is not as good as the starting point.

Liangshan's governance style followed the Qin and Han Dynasties, including the division of land, the treatment of soldiers, the status, power, treatment of officials, etc.

Wang Lun has not yet completely sorted it out, but Liangshan has burst out with power far beyond the times.

This is something unique brought by Wang Lun, rather than a simple effect given by skills.

As long as you are on this land, you can deeply feel the changes, not small changes, but violent, stormy changes.

……

Yuncheng County.

The first batch of refugees allocated land are already preparing for the autumn harvest.

Many people grow peanuts, which have high yields and high prices. They can be eaten or extracted for oil.

Some people also grow millet or sorghum.

Planting peanuts or beans can fertilize the fields, while those planting sorghum or millet can’t wait for the first harvest.

Everyone has their own considerations, no matter what is right or wrong.

The large fields are full of life, and the people who are busy in the fields have faint smiles. It is easy for people to get together and talk and laugh.

After all, there is still some time before the real busyness.

Everyone was in a good mood, even excellent.

Each household has at least five or six acres of land, and more than ten acres of land, depending on the number of people.

How big is the bowl and how much rice is in it.

If the family is divided in the future, part of the land will be taken back. After all, we will not be able to finish the cultivation.

There is no such thing as subletting or subtenanting the land allocated in Liangshan. If you are found out, you will be severely fined.

"Qingzhou has also begun to divide its land, and now only the area around the city is left."

"Qizhou is also divided"

"What is being divided now is only official land, so it is easy to calculate clearly. The private land that will be confiscated and purchased will be much more complicated to divide, so it will take longer."

"Alas, the head of Liangshan is really benevolent. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, I have never seen anyone who really puts the people at ease. This one is just one of them."

"It would be great if Master Wang could really conquer the world...I heard people say that we have tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty. This requires everyone to have land, more people, more land, less people, less land, fairness and reasonableness, no matter how rich the rich are. High officials can't occupy too much land, and the land rent they collect is just like this. Without all the messy taxes and money, how good would everyone in the world be living?"

"That's what I said, but it's best not to say it"

"Well, don’t say it, don’t say it!"

The refugees are still relatively sensitive when it comes to this topic.

After all, there are only tens of thousands of people in Liangshan now, but the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of troops.

Liangshan controls the land of seven states, but the imperial court has 800 military states.

This makes the refugees feel involuntarily. At last, I was not enough.

At this moment, the bell rang.

"School is over"

"My boy is learning very quickly. He can now recite the Three-Character Sutra silently. He is only six years old!"

"My family has memorized Qianjia Shi. Once he has mastered elementary Chinese, arithmetic, and physics, he can go to a secondary school to study. Now I don’t know if I want him to learn grammar, algorithms, or laws?"

The officials in Liangshan are also divided very carefully.

There are grammar officials who are responsible for documents, files, and records.

There are also planners who are responsible for arithmetic. The planners are also the basis for joining the industry, commerce, trade, and construction departments.

The construction department has the best treatment. The salary is also high, but you have to study arithmetic and many other subjects, and the entry threshold is also very high.

In addition, there are departments such as military law that need to study laws and regulations.

The treatment for those who can enter the departments is not bad.

"In Aunt Huang's family in the second village next door, the eldest son joined the army two months ago, and now he is very senior. He earns two quid of monthly salary and three shi of food. Hey, I'm so jealous."

"The war is fierce and dangerous. Soldiers are not comfortable in their respective divisions. It is still dangerous."

"The salary is also high and I heard it will increase in the future!"

"Yes, I said that too……"

"The king is the master of the family, and he is also very kind to the soldiers under his command."

When the news came up that the army was going to increase its salary, many farmers in their prime of health were obviously tempted.

Originally ,I looked around at the children in the primary school after school to see where my own child was, but I no longer had this intention.

Indeed, many people who meet the criteria are quite excited!

The news that Liangshan increased the money for the soldiers was also deliberately released in order to expand the scope of recruitment of soldiers.

After all, only brave men will be rewarded.

The previous salary standard was slightly higher than that of the Forbidden Army, and even higher than that of ordinary people.

However, as the land distribution progressed, the staff recruited by each department also received favorable treatment.

If we don’t improve military treatment, who will be willing to be a soldier in the future? (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After all, military training is difficult, and there is a risk of death or injury in battle.

And the army is the cornerstone of Liangshan!

Wang Lun had said hello to the generals in advance that in the future, they would be allocated food fiefs just like in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the income from the food fiefs would be allocated according to their level and function, which would be regarded as an increase in salary.

On the surface, the food belongs to the generals, but in fact the generals can only take the revenue, without jurisdiction or ownership.

If a new dynasty is established in the future, it will last for up to three generations. Even if it has achieved great success, it is already very good to be able to bless three generations.

Moreover, it is no wonder that others have not accumulated rich wealth in three generations.

If a general reaches the level of 1,000 households, he may have a 1,000-acre fiefdom. In other words, this general will have an income of 1,000 acres of land.

Originally, Wang Lun planned to give him part of the trade income.

But after communicating in private, he found that although the leaders were good men who didn't care about money, they still cared about the wealth that could be passed on to their children and grandchildren.

What matters more is stability.

Trade makes money now, who knows what will happen in the future?

However, land output is basically fixed.

Unless there is a catastrophic year with no harvest.

But in decades or hundreds of years, how many similar disaster years will there be?

The land is still stable! []

It is indeed the way of thinking of a large farming nation...

Wang Lun will not forcefully persuade or force him. This is a welfare for everyone. There is no need to force others to think.

From a thousand acres of land, one can receive 50% or 40% of the income. For an average yield of two thousand shi per mu per year, half of the income is one thousand shi, or more than 800 shi, which is equal to several hundred guan of extra income a year.

Moreover, the level of heroes will definitely exceed Qianhu in the future.

If all of them are directed to tens of thousands of households, the income will be from several thousand to ten thousand acres of land.

If it were a higher-level command of the military capital, or even the highest honor of military attache, Jiedu Envoy, it would definitely start from Wanmu.

With extra income of several thousand pounds a year, plus salary and rewards... no one will be dissatisfied.

The treatment of ordinary soldiers will also be greatly improved. A first-class soldier will receive two guan of money and three shi of food.

Ordinary soldiers who have made no mistakes and have served for one year are basically considered first-class.

The commander of the corps has three ounces of money and five dan of grain.

The money is five guans and the grain is six shi, which has doubled.

This is a level that ordinary soldiers can achieve and the income they can expect.

Compared with ordinary officials, the income level of soldiers is about twice as high.

Compared with ordinary people, it is three to four times higher.

Wang Lun believes that this is a reasonable income level.

You know, in the pre-Qin period, nobles served as soldiers. Without noble blood, they were not qualified to go to the battlefield.

There were various rules at that time, such as not attacking half-crossed, not killing two cents, etc., because war was a game between nobles, why was it so bloody?

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the country began to be destroyed frequently, and the old rules began to collapse.

The so-called"unrighteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period" began at that time.

The fighting power of the Kingdom of Thousand Chariots cannot be maintained solely by the nobles.

But the main fighting force is still the nobility and the"scholar" class.

During the Warring States Period, the whole country was in arms.

How to improve military benefits and maintain combat effectiveness?

The answer given by the State of Qin is military merit conferment!

From being a public servant to being an official, no matter how many heads you have beheaded and how many military exploits you have accomplished, you will have as many mansions, lands, and privileges as you do.

This is a rule established by the Qin State since Shang Yang's reform.

With the military treatment and morale brought about by this militaristic system, Qin was able to conquer the entire world.

Going all the way to the Tang Dynasty, the land was granted to strong men, and the soldiers of the government had to prepare their own horses, food, armor, and weapons, and then fight for the court.

A bit like the small feudal lords or knights in the early years.

The price paid by the court was the land it controlled.

This is fair and reasonable.

As a result, after the land annexation, the government and military system completely collapsed.

The result of the military recruitment system was that a large amount of money was needed, taxes skyrocketed, and at the same time, the army was under the control of a certain general for a long time, and the military governors were far away from the borders, which gave the soil for the breeding of feudal towns.

The Liangshan Army is actually a military merit conferment and a military force system.A variant that combines military systems.

It is also the most reasonable military system at this stage.

Land revenue is the cornerstone of this military system.

Now we only provide salary, military pay, and land income for those who reach the military attache level!

This is the embodiment of the advantages of the stable military nobility system and the military system.

Therefore, Wang Lun will never allow the land to be circulated again, and it must be controlled by himself.

The future is controlled by the new dynasty he established.

Certain iron rules must be formulated, and the land must never be traded or circulated again!

……

Under the watchful eyes of the farmers, the children who ran out of the primary school returned to the village without passing through the fields.

They ran in the opposite direction

"Niu Heizi, what are you doing? Niu

Gao, who was running with Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and Tang Huai, turned around and said with a smile:"Today Liangshan Army takes over Yuncheng County, let's go and watch the fun!""

This place is not far from Shijie Village and is well-informed.

The distance from Yuncheng County is nothing at the feet of these half-grown men.

As soon as they heard that there was such excitement, many adults working in the fields We couldn't sit still anymore.

Everyone understood.

From taking over the county town to the prefecture town, Liangshan officially controlled the territory of these prefectures and counties.

From the ambiguity, he and others officially became the subordinates of Liangshan. The people became workers...
