Those who welcomed him were the local landlords, wealthy families and border leaders in Hengzhou. They had long heard that Jin Shiqi was coming to this temple to worship, so they waited here in a street, and brought cars and horses to carry large bags of small boxes of gifts, as if they were back from a group trip abroad.

"The people of Hengzhou are so enthusiastic!" Jin Shiqi said happily.

"Actually, they are scary of you!" Xunzhou Guard Commander Cai Jinghuan said in a word, "I'm afraid you will collect their fields!"

Jin Shiqi immediately understood that the military field that was trained by the Elephant Guard was occupied by these people. "You can say that you are wrong with Mr. Cai, that's my field."

These people are all local big families and powerful people in Hengzhou. Over the past hundred years, they have been constantly eroding and annexing, and Qiaoran seized the military fields of the Xiangwei. There are many ways to bribe the officers to mortgage the land, and the mortgage is 10,000 years; some are falsely rented, but never paid the land rent; some are falsely reported and falsely placed under the military household name; the most powerful one is not a name at all, I am occupying your land, what can you do?

The remaining soldiers who trained the Elephant Guard could not even defeat the wild cats and dogs, let alone the mountain militia. As one goes up and down, the 400,000 acres of military fields in the Elephant Guard gradually became fragmented and eventually disappeared.

But now it's different.

The Wang family, who was in charge of the elephant guards in the world, had already left. Now it is Jin Shiqi who "temporarily led" the elephant guards. People in Hengzhou have long heard of this boy. This kid is a fierce god and acts tricky and vicious. They can't afford to offend, and they can't avoid it, so they can only bite the bullet and greet them.

Jin Shiqi also greeted him, "Friends, I'm just about to find you!"

The landlords and gentry hurriedly welcomed General Jin to Hengzhou and congratulated General Jin to enter the elephant guard. From now on, you will be our Shangguan and the guardian god of Hengzhou. Some slight tributes do not respect you. I don’t know if General Jin likes to eat sweet or numb…

Jin Shiqi shouted in public, "Since everyone is present, I will just say it! You are here for the military field." He laughed three times, "Friends, don't worry! I, Jin Shiqi, are a kind person, how can I make things difficult for you now. Now I will announce that all the rice, grain, fruits and vegetables in the fields of the Elephant Temperor Guard will be allowed to be harvested. But from next year, that is, the eighth year of the Apocalypse, all the fields will be collected by the military field."

"What, I still have to collect it." The landlords and wealthy families present suddenly fell into a cold river. "General Jin, why not sit down and negotiate..."

"No talk!" Jin Shiqi said loudly, "Don't bully me, I have five thousand soldiers in the Elephant Guard. I came to Hengzhou this time to recruit camp soldiers, and I can build a camp within ten months. If my fields are not taken back, what can I offer to my brothers?" Jin Shiqi said meaningfully. "But, you have to continue planting my fields, and there is no hope..."

As soon as these words came out, hundreds of hearts suddenly rose to their throats and thousands of eyes looked over. But Jin Shiqi waved his hand to Fubo Temple and invited all the generals to worship together. The landlords and wealthy families were all anxious and even chased after him, "General Jin, please make it clear!" "Isn't this torture?"

"Let's wait for the news!" Jin Shiqi shook his sleeves and left.

...

The seventh year of the Apocalypse, on the fourth day of the eighth month.

Jin Shiqi, the general of the Guangdong patrol of the Ming Dynasty, led the generals of the guards in Guangxi to pay homage to the former Han general Fubo Ma Yuan.

After the generals invited incense, bowed, worshiped, offered wine and meat, served 100 taels of silver, and held it solemnly. Jin Shiqi announced that there was another important program today, which was to give merits and rewards to the brave soldiers in the Xunzhou War.

In order to boost the morale of the army, as early as the beginning of the founding of the army in Zangbaogang, each battalion set the military merit level according to the old Liaodong system, and divided it into three levels: "up, middle and lower". The evaluation of soldiers is based on "brave", "killing", and "strictness". As for the officers, there is also a similar military merit level system, which is based on "tactics", "control", and "movement" as standards, and is also divided into three levels: "up, middle and lower".

Since the beginning of the battle to fight against the storm last year, until the extermination of Hu Fulong last month, the battalions of Zangbaogang have produced nearly 200 "superior merit", more than 700 "superior merit", and more than 2,000 "superior merit".

The evaluation of these achievements not only represents honor and promotion, but also directly related to silver.

An ordinary soldier can receive 1 tael or 5 taels of silver when he makes a "super merit" or "middle merit". If he makes a "super merit", he can receive 25 taels of silver. 25 taels of silver can be enough to build a small house, ask for a wife, or open a small shop. If an officer makes a contribution, the prize money can be won several times that of an ordinary soldier depending on the military rank.

Just a few days ago, each battalion issued an extremely shocking new rule called the "Military Merit Award": soldiers who have made meritorious services can receive land instead of silver, but instead receive land. A tael of silver is equal to 1 acre of land! [

This is too cheap, it is like a big dumping after jumping off a building! The soldiers of each battalion could not believe that at that time, one acre of good land could be worth 4 taels of silver. Later, they carefully studied the land grant order and realized that the taste was coming. It turned out that those who made meritorious people obtained not permanent property rights of the land, but only "lease rights".

The land leased by soldiers can also be transferred, divided, mortgaged, inherited for a fee, which is different from ordinary private land. However, the property rights of these lands still belong to Nandanwei, so in addition to 1 share of land tax, one share of land rent is also required to pay an additional share of land rent every year.

It is very kind to say that 1 cent tax and 1 share of land rent. The ordinary farmers in the Ming Dynasty often bear more than 5 cents of tycoons. Even the land that Nandanwei rented to Shizhaishan people was 1 cent tax and 2 share of land rent. So the soldiers couldn't believe it when the land was given. The land was given cheaper to the soldiers, but the Nandanwei himself lost 1 cent of the income. Are those generals confused?

This set of things was made by Jin Shiqi, and his mind was very clear!

After Jin Shiqi served as the commander of the Nandan Guard, he carefully studied the land issue. Based on his experience and cognition in his past and present lives, he finally understood... He believed that only when the land is in his own hands can it be carefully cultivated, strictly supervised, reduced corruption, rotated cultivation, build water conservancy, and carefully maintained, and squeezed out the greatest value.

However, due to the restrictions of the Ming Dynasty's laws, Jin Shiqi could not directly divide the land for the soldiers. He could only borrow the concept of "separation of land ownership and use rights" and affiliated with the name of "leasing military fields for the garrison".

Jin Shiqi's fundamental purpose is to cultivate his own "soldier little landlord" class. Use the soldiers little landlords to manage the land, maximize the value of the land, and obtain the maximum amount of grain and sugarcane. At the same time, the interests of the land also tie the soldiers to Jin Shiqi's chariot, so that they will always be loyal and brave!

As for whether the land rent collected by Nandanwei is 1 point or 2 points, Jin Shiqi really said that in the small economic system of "Zangbaogang-Nandanwei", he controls industrial products and will also control financial power in the future. With these two sharp swords in hand, all the benefits produced by hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land will not escape his control.

Next, this system will be expanded to the Elephant Temperor, and even to the entire Xunzhou area.

In order to welcome the upcoming "Jinghai Expedition", Jin Shiqi added fire to the "Military Merit Assessment" and "Trade Grant" system.

He added "special merit" to his third-class military merits.

Any soldier who is extremely brave and powerful will be awarded the "Special Silver Award"; any officer who leads his troops with outstanding achievements will be awarded the "Special Golden Award". The rewards for these two types of special combat achievements will be 5 times that of the "Superbian Merit"!

On the fourth day of August, Jin Shiqi led all the generals and officers to worship Fubo Temple, and before that big temple, he awarded the first batch of "special merits" military meritorious service in the history of Zangbaogang. There were 3 officers and 14 soldiers who won this honor, 6 of whom had been killed in battle and 3 were seriously injured and retired, and they could only be replaced by their children or superiors.

Jin Shiqi stepped out of the temple gate and looked at the mighty soldiers from all the Nandan Guards under the steps. His heart was surging! All the winners of "special merits" and "superior merits" and "superior merits" were as beautiful as the living warriors or the dead!

Behind them were the observation troops sent by each battalion, the infantry of Sanli Camp, the cavalry of Mianjiang Camp, the nightingale scouts of Liuzhou Water Camp, the garrison artillery stationed in Zangbaogang, and the baggage soldiers rushing on the mountain roads of Liuzhou and Xunzhou. They were all wearing newly-launched military uniforms, which were the standard mountain civilian uniforms of Zangbaogang. They were all the same indigo color. The same light color line, the same small narrow collar, and the same spirit. However, the different patterns and military rank colors on the uniforms, and the five-color flags in their hands, represent the different battalions they belong to.

The generals of Guangxi and the powerful landlords and mountain civilian leaders present in Hengzhou, all stood quietly around, silently watching the indigo-colored army. Although there were only a few hundred people present, although they were all standing solemnly and silently in front of Fubo Temple, there was a bleak and killing aura lingering on them. The aura was the flames condensed by the long struggle, several killings, and sacrifices were like the burning flames of mixed steel and fire.

The wild birds in the sky also circled, the wild beasts in the forest were dormant, and the fish in the river sank into the bottom of the river.

Jin Shiqi said loudly: "This merit was supposed to be held in front of the Yingwu Temple in Zangbaogang. However, the war in Xunzhou was settled, and our army took on the heavy responsibility and was about to go out to the Fujian Sea soon. Therefore, we borrowed the prestige of General Fubo to proclaim the bravery of the soldiers of the various battalions of our Nandan Guard! We also beg General Fubo to beg for the spirit of the sky to protect our expeditions smoothly, suppress the bandits and drive the bandits, and pacify the Ming Dynasty's sea front!"

Then, Jin Shiqi read out the special military achievements one by one

"Ma Cao moved to the 100 generals of the light cavalry in the Jiang camp, and led the raid under the turret of countless fierce battles behind the enemy, destroying bridges and intercepting thousands of enemy troops, causing chaos to surrender. He was awarded the special Jinxun!"

"Wang Lai, the private soldiers of the Nandan Guard, sneaked into the enemy camp alone to place the bombing, seriously injured the enemy chief and awarded the special silver medal!"

"Li Sinian, the Sanliying Banner commander, bravely guarded Shangguan in the Gu formation, killed six thieves, and finally blocked the sword and arrow, and was granted the special silver medal!"[

"Zhao Wan, the Sanli Battalion artillery, risked his life to transport artillery vehicles and rescue a hundred brothers in the team, but he was finally killed due to the "pharmaceutical" and was awarded the special silver medal!"

"Liu Sanshun, the Liuzhou Water Camp navy, went deep into the enemy territory to investigate the military situation for a hundred days. Later, he fought bravely and killed more than ten enemies. He was captured until his death and refused to surrender. He was eventually tortured and killed for his country. He was awarded the special silver medal!"...

Behind every military achievement is a tragic and brave record; every time the order is announced, hundreds of men present shouted the glorious name in unison, and the loud voice roared on the Yujiang River, like a storm, making the onlookers present stand up and sweat. They couldn't help but think that this is not a meritorious service, it is clearly a demonstration!

Afterwards, Jin Shiqi read out the list of 200 "superior merits", announced the total number of "superior merits" and "superior merits", and explained the rules for rewarding military merits. He finally laughed and said, "All meritorious deeds, I'll give you ten days to think about whether to receive the money or to have a field."

The scene was quiet for a second, and the special and high-quality meritorious soldiers looked at each other and shouted almost at the same time: "Tian!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote, monthly tickets, and mobile phone users please read it.
