Chapter 1117 This is my preparation(1/2)
Guan Ning nodded slightly.
Hao Cang had already mentioned this matter in a report submitted to the Ministry of War years ago.
Over the years, the military has experienced an aging problem, and many soldiers are no longer suitable to serve in the military as they grow older.
There are many such veterans in the Zhenbei Army. Most of them have been transferred to the Public Security Bureau, and some have gone to local officials to retire at home.
This situation is very common.
The Zhenbei Army recruits new recruits every year, but they are all in the six northern states, and most of them are the children of former Zhenbei Army soldiers. This is to ensure absolute loyalty.
Recruited soldiers will be sent to Beiyi to help Guan Ning's father-in-law, the leader of the Wuliang tribe, fight against the Asote tribe.
After rigorous training and actual combat experience, and then passing the military merit assessment, you can officially join the Zhenbei Army.
The title of Zhenbei Army is a supreme honor, but not everyone can enter.
The Zhenbei Army is special and never conducts large-scale recruitment.
This is also true for Guan Ning Cavalry.
But other conventional armies also have aging problems.
Replenishment of troops is imminent!
Based on the summary of the situation, the Ministry of War has made a plan to recruit 200,000 new soldiers as a supplement.
This is the first large-scale conscription since the founding of the new dynasty, and it will begin after Guan Ning returns to Beijing.
Guan Ning is also preparing for war.
Including armament replacement, firearms assembly, etc., but they are not carried out publicly.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be said on such an occasion.
Guan Ning said: "Our army is always ready."
He changed the topic and made a final summary.
"Daning is providing relief to the refugees. I promise that those who enter our dynasty will be granted a hundred acres of land per ding, and will also provide them with cattle and grain subsidies. I will inform all counties and counties to strictly follow this without any mistakes. This is my will.
It can be passed through Beilin, and it can also be passed through Liangguo!"
Guan Ning stood up and said in a deep voice: "The refugees from the Liang Kingdom abandoned their ancestral property and came to Daning. I not only want to keep their people, but also their hearts. With one more person, if I, Daning Jian, destroy the Liang Kingdom, there will be more people."
One point chance of winning!"
"This is my preparation!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
What is the pattern and what is the mind?
If it can accommodate one city, it can only take one city.
If you can accommodate a country, you can win a country.
When the show was about to end, Lin Zhengtang stood up but hesitated to speak.
"Your Majesty, I have concerns."
"explain."
"What should Liang Guo do if he learns that our court has sent the old, weak, women and children here?"
Hear this.
Everyone was immediately stunned and kept talking among themselves.
This is really an issue that must be considered.
The old, weak, women and children could not open up wasteland for farming or engage in production. Instead, they increased the burden and consumed the government's funding.
The court has made a lot of efforts to implement benevolent governance. This winter, it allocated food from the army to supply it, and also built buildings and allocated tents for it.
Also exempted from taxes for three years!
During this period, nothing could be gained from these Liang people.
Bring some young people who can open up wasteland and cultivate the land, take root and settle down, and sooner or later they will be able to contribute to Daning.
But what about the old, weak, women and children?
There is no benefit except increasing the burden...
"The layout is too small."
Guan Ning said: "Don't worry about this. If Liang Guo can really do such a thing, I will be happy."
"We drive away the old, weak, women and children of our country, but they all have children, husbands, and relatives. What will these people think?"
"Come!"
"I, Da Ning, will not be afraid of anyone who comes!"
Guan Ning said: "I still said what I said. Beilin Province was originally a vast area with few people. They came to open up wasteland and build. In a few years, it will become a prosperous place. This is to lay the foundation for the future."
Everyone suddenly understood what Guan Ning meant.
The old father was driven to Beilin Province. Can the son still fight for Liang Guo in a down-to-earth manner?
Of course it's impossible.
Doing so is unpopular.
And it is precisely the human heart that is a weapon sharper than the sword!
By this time, they no longer had any doubts.
The meeting was over and arrangements were made quickly.
Guan Ning's decree was sent from the Governor's Mansion, and many teams spread it throughout Beilin Province.
This truly clarifies the general outline of benevolent government.
Liang Min was excited.
They have always been worried that Daning would be angry with them due to the relationship between the two countries. Even with these benevolent policies, they still feel uneasy.
Now Emperor Daning personally issued the imperial edict, which completely reassured them.
Everyone who comes can be allocated land, which varies according to the population. In short, they can definitely support themselves.
This is the minimum guarantee.
If you want to have a better life, get more land.
Then you have to pay taxes!
This was all agreed upon in advance.
Guan Ning did not directly give very good preferential treatment, but under certain conditions,
This is to avoid raising lazy people who just eat and die.
The tax exemption lasts for three years and is targeted at those who are given minimum security for part of their land.
After this deadline, taxes will begin.
If you want to get more land, it is not within this scope and you must pay taxes in advance.
The maximum allocation can be one hundred acres.
However, the tax is very low, 30% lower than that of the Daning aborigines.
Compared with the harsh miscellaneous taxes in Liang today, this is already a pretty good preferential treatment.
Beilin Province has plenty of land.
And it was not from Daning at first. He only provided cattle farming equipment, grain, etc. This transaction was a sure profit.
Isn’t it okay for someone to open up wasteland for farming?
When word of this benevolent policy spread, it caused great shock, and many people were still doubtful about it.
Only after receiving the assignment did I believe it was true!
The refugees have a safe place to live.
The indigenous people also have a better life than before.
Everything is like a dream.
And this was all brought to them by Emperor Daning.
Some Liang people even knelt down and shouted long live.
This is not an exaggeration. Refugees who gave up their ancestral home and fled their hometowns are quite satisfied to have such a life.
It was passed down by word of mouth and gradually spread to Liang State.
Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Zhu Wen, who had been paying attention to this matter, also learned the specific details.
"Bang!"
