Chapter 303 The suffering of the people

Since ancient times, the farmers in China have been the hardest and most tiring group. They are engaged in the hardest and most tiring jobs, but they have never covered their clothes and can't fill their stomachs.

They can only have a few full meals when the year is good, and they can't even make a full meal when the year is bad.

Owning your own land is the ultimate dream of every Chinese farmer. In the traditional peasant society, owning land is the most stable and guaranteeing the best family. Among farmers, it is divided into self-cultivated farmers, which is to cultivate their own land. The other is tenants, and tenants are generally looked down upon.

Moreover, in the entire Chinese agricultural society, selling land and selling land is considered a very unfilial act. The land purchased by our ancestors must be passed down by our descendants, rather than selling it out because of greed for money. It can be said that we will not sell land and land until we are at the end of our journey.

It can also be explained that once you have some extra money in your hands and someone is willing to sell the land, they will definitely buy it.

Moreover, today's economic activities are not very developed. Apart from the traditional transactions of food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are few other investments, so these officials are destined to have a lot of spare money and no other investment methods. They are generally used to buy land, buy luxury houses, or buy women to enjoy it.

The Liu family army gave this time, but the most expensive pension was that every soldier who was injured and killed would receive 30 acres of irrigated land and also receive a reward of 100 taels of silver.

Such a pension standard is several times that of the regular Ming army. If the general Ming army was killed in battle, it can only be said that he is extremely unlucky. At most, he will only give them some burning silver (about ten taels).

This also created the spirit of the Liu family army not afraid of death or sacrifice during the battle. Many people even took pride in sacrificing themselves. Because they knew that after sacrificing themselves, they could fulfill their families and have land in their homes.

Every aspiring farmer will ultimately dream of owning land. If any farmer purchases land in his hands and passes it on to his descendants, it will definitely be a matter of glorious family and glory.

So after the news came this time, many families had their children sacrificed their lives, but there was no scene of mourning and mourning in every village. Even if some people held funerals, they were still full of joy and gratitude.

Because they understand one thing, that is, the sacrifice and dedication of their generation have laid a solid foundation for their descendants.

The Chinese are the race that attaches the most importance to the cultivation of future generations. None of them can sacrifice themselves and let themselves endure hardships, but they are indeed reluctant to let their children and grandchildren endure hardships, laying a solid foundation for the future generations. This is very worthwhile.

The Nanyang Army also established a special department called the Remnants Office. The number one person in charge of the Remnants Office is Liu Bu's wife Ru Chen Yuanyuan.

She is specifically responsible for the management of this surviving family office. The so-called surviving family office is mainly responsible for managing the families of soldiers who died on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the Liu family army are all great men and the pillars of the family. If they die, it is equivalent to a family falling apart. They will inevitably be lonely and helpless, and will inevitably be bullied. At this time, the role of the surviving clan office will come out.

If they have any difficulties, they can ask for help from the surviving clan office at any time. You should know that Chen Yuanyuan, a famous beauty, is Mrs. Ru who stays there and can convey the news to Liu Bu at any time. Who dares to underestimate her?

It can be said that the surviving tribe's office was about two feet wide, and even the generals in the Liu family's army dared not ignore it. Mrs. Chen was blowing her ears and saying bad things about them in front of the general, which would make them unable to bear it.

Moreover, Chen Yuanyuan has accumulated a lot of fame during the disaster relief last year. Many people think that she is beautiful and kind-hearted, and is a perfect match with Mi Zhu.

The generous benefits are the guarantee of the Liu family army's strong combat power. With these benefits, every soldier went all out to fight and was willing to make contributions and sacrifices for their team.

In other words, they are not afraid of sacrifice, so they have the glorious victory of this battle of Anqing. The battle of Anqing is not only the glory of Liu Bu, but also the glory of the Liu family army, and the glory of all the people of the three eastern prefectures.

This sentence was said by Liu Yuanqiao at the celebration banquet.

Liu Yuanqiao held a banquet in the Governor Denglai yamen to celebrate this great victory, but this celebration banquet seemed a bit special, that is, no one was the soldiers and officers who participated in the Battle of Anqing, all the families of these soldiers and officers, or the local gentry and powerful people, with four or five hundred people sitting in full.

They directly set up the banquet in the square of the inner courtyard of the Governor's yamen. The former Governor had been training troops in this square, and it was not a problem to accommodate thousands of people.

Liu Yuanqiao can be said to be the lowest among governors Sdenlai, but the ability he showed seemed to be the strongest. Even the first governor of Denglai Yuan Fengli did not have as strong control as he did.

As the first governor of Denglai, Yuan Fengli was very good at dealing with Jiannu, but in terms of his control over the army and the control of the local area, he was far inferior to Liu Yuanqiao, and in terms of financial resources, he was even worse.

After Liu Yuanqiao became the governor of Denglai this time, the Liu family also started to move, cooperated with wealthy businessmen and powerful people from all over Denglai, and threw out many orders, tied the people, merchants, officials and gentry in the entire Denglai area together, and paid together with wealth.

The Liu family has an advantage that no one else can have, that is, they have a huge long-distance fleet, where they can transport all the local products to Japan, North Korea and other places to sell, and they can even transport goods to Nanyang to sell, which makes them the largest import and export trading company in the three eastern prefectures.

As long as you have the goods in your hands, they are capable of purchasing and selling them at high prices. This is very powerful in monetization, which makes many local businessmen and powerful people in Xu willing to cooperate with the Liu family. Even the Lu Mansion far away in Jinan and the Dezhou mansion far away in Dezhou have sent people to cooperate with the Liu family to do business.

If the Liu family used to be just a big fat sheep, but now they have turned from a big fat sheep into a tiger. The tiger is the king of the forest, leading all the beasts.

Liu Yuanqiao's super control was very impressed by Jing Yungong, who had been a local chief. He thought that when he was young, he would definitely not have such ordinary control ability and such ordinary means. If there were any, maybe he could definitely become a governor or a minister before he left office.

The highest official position that Jingyun Gong held was the right governor of the Huguang Chengxuan General Office. If you look at the level, it would be slightly higher than Liu Yuanqiao's current official position. After all, he was in charge of the entire Huguang Province.

However, in terms of control and power between office, he is far inferior to Liu Yuanqiao.

Liu Yuanqiao can now say this: that is, he needs soldiers, people, and everything he wants, so his governance went very smoothly. Every official is proud of his rule and harmony in politics. Liu Yuanqiao has done this easily now.

This surprised and surprised many people. Many people believe that no matter how strong Liu Yuanqiao is, it will take a lot of time to straighten out this.

But he surprised everyone, that is, he actually settled all the contradictions and difficulties in just a few months, and brought the entire Southeast region into a stage of full development.

If those who came to Denglai area a few months ago and witnessed the civil unrest that swept Dengzhou, they would definitely not recognize Dengzhou.

Because Dengzhou is no longer the scene of the last tide and like a chaotic world before, but all the people are driven into the fields and work day and night, while the merchants are doing their best to do business, and they are in a prosperous situation.

Even when the Denglai area was most prosperous, it was just that. Such a strong governor also won unanimous respect from the people of Denglai area. Although he is still acting as a governor in Denglai now, no one thinks he is an acting governor, nor do they think that the court can send a better person here to preside over the work and take over Liu Yuanqiao's business.

So Liu Yuanqiao held a celebration banquet at the Governor's Office. The local powerful people were so proud that they wanted to get an invitation to get close to this hot big shot.

Today, Liu Yuanqiao is already a vassal official in the Muslim side, and is not the seventh-rank deputy director of the Linqing tax customs before.

Thinking about the people who had been suppressing him back then, even the Shandong General Liu Zeqing, who had been suppressing him, is now making public explanations everywhere, saying that he is of the same origin as the Liu family and is a member of the same generation.

In the past, he often said openly and secretly that the conflicts and conflicts between him and the Liu family were to lay the groundwork for causing trouble for the Liu family at any time.

But after seeing that the Liu family was so powerful, he no longer dared to have such an idea, but tried every means to establish a good relationship with the Liu family and deal with it well.

This is also a way to stabilize the other party. Because the two sides have experienced many conflicts, they have formed a bloody feud, which is irreconcilable and indissoluble.
