A table covered with homespun cloth was placed on the earthen platform of the school ground, and there was a large teacup on the table. There were several chairs in a row behind, with Song Wen sitting in the middle, and next to him were the tenant farmers' representative of Qingshan Village and Mr. Sun Mou, Li Erlang.
...A few people were very nervous and didn't even know where to place their hands.
Song Wen stood up and coughed, looked at the more than 60 excited teenagers in the audience and more people watching the fun in the distance and said loudly: "Brothers... today is a day worth remembering for our Qingshan Village, you all
Got it, from now on our Qingshanzhai trading firm will implement a joint-stock system! Everyone is the owner of our firm. If the firm does well, everyone will get more money! We rural soldiers are different. We have to work hard to practice during the war.
You have to go into battle to fight... From now on when the Chamber of Commerce will do business all over the world, you will have to put on the clothes you wear to travel around the world and work as escorts! How can I treat you badly? How can I make you earn less than the guys in the Chamber of Commerce?"
The country soldiers below shouted in unison... "Everyone is mighty, everyone is mighty!"
Song Wen chuckled, his hands involuntarily pinched the back of his waist, and suddenly felt that what he was doing and this posture... why did it feel so strange?
Shaking his head to get rid of the familiar feeling, Song Wen continued: "A bowl of dry rice with a wealth of ten thousand yuan, and a foot of fertile land with tombs...I, Song Wen, have never been a greedy person. The money and land accumulated by gathering people and working hard should be enough."
Everyone shared in the fun! This time, we, the bandits who conquered Kuquan Mountain, made a contribution... Master Meng sold us a total of nearly 700 acres of land at a low price! There are 200 acres of upper fields, 300 acres of middle fields, and 200 acres of land.
acres of mountainous land.”
The public sentiment was so excited that even the tenant farmers who were not qualified to allocate their land were bright-eyed... Are their own bastards going to join the Qingshan camp to settle the dispute? This is real farmland! A farmland that can be passed down from generation to generation!
"A person has five acres of middle land, or two acres of farmland, or seven acres of mountainous land! You can choose according to your usual performance and merits on the battlefield... Mr. Sun Mou is responsible for the specific operations. However... except for spring planting and autumn harvest, all farming
All the trivial matters of field irrigation, fertilization and pest control must be left to our tenants in Qingshan Village! We don’t have to pay a penny, but 20% of the harvest will be given to the tenants who take care of the fields. Again, the harvest will be good for everyone.
Everyone can share more food and money...and finally pay 10% to the military camp as a pension reserve!"
There were whispers below, and everyone expressed satisfaction. The tenants worked harder, but they could get 20% of the harvest! They were very happy. Which tenant would be afraid of working hard? What they were afraid of was having to pay taxes without income.
Gift!
Song Wen took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "Within three years, our Qingshan Village does not have to pay a single penny in taxes to the county government. This is the deal that Master Meng and I have negotiated... including the transfer to Qingshan Village this time.
But I made a promise to Chief Meng... that one year later, the entire Qingshan Battalion will attack and destroy the bandits in Da Qingshan!"
The news has been circulating for a long time, but this time Song Wen announced the result in public.
"Let's work harder and make more achievements! After we capture Daqingshan, I will go to Master Meng to ask for money, food and land. Next time we will hold a celebration party... we will share more land and bounty bonuses!"
"There is also a pension for those who are injured or even killed in action. The rural soldiers do not have a pension from the court...but I, the Qingshan Battalion, will give it! All brothers who were killed in action will receive a pension of fifty guan each, with half the disability, and paid leave for minor injuries! If not!
Dear relatives..."
Song Wen looked around, and sure enough, most of the country soldiers lowered their heads with sad expressions... "If you have no relatives, deposit the money in the Sihai Commercial Bank in Qingshan Village for safekeeping, and the accounts will be made public! It will be used for future brothers who are disabled or killed in battle."
The extra pension, and...everyone, every month! A monthly amount of money...the corps commander will receive three hundred cash, and the chief will receive five hundred cash! The centurion team will receive two and a half credits, and the deputy commander will receive two and a half credits!"
With a bang, the whole place exploded... Everyone looked at Song Wen in disbelief. If you become a rural soldier, you can share the land, and you will get a pension when you die! Now you actually still have the same monthly amount of money as you started?
Song Wen waved his hand: "So in fact, everyone in our Qingshan Village is a master! Whether we go to battle to kill the enemy or do business outside! We are all doing it to make money for ourselves and to make contributions for ourselves... No one belongs to anyone else.
Slaves, everyone is their own master! If you want to take the silver and copper coins and bury them, no one will care about them. If you put them in the trading house, you can still earn one penny of interest per year!"
Many rural soldiers began to wipe their tears, and the old tenant Sun Mou and Li Erlang on the stage were also trembling... Gradually, the workshop masters and apprentices who had been watching the excitement from a distance also crowded over with excited faces. Song Wen pointed
They said: "The same goes for you! Everyone receives monthly salary at half of the military salary, but the truly capable masters are paid in full the salary of deputy captain! Once there is meritorious service or ingenious invention, there will be a large bonus.
!A small saber guard with an interchangeable handle and blade has a bounty of fifty thousand dollars... Think about it for yourself, how many opportunities to get rich overnight are there?"
The eyes of all the workshop masters and apprentices turned green...
"Lang Jun is so powerful that we are willing to die...Lang Jun is so powerful..."
For a whole day, Song Wen scattered half of Qingshan Village and most of his accumulated wealth like a thunderous explosion!
Li Yan thought he was crazy, Sun Mou thought he was crazy... Old Ghost Wang thought this guy was not only crazy but also hopeless!
Even Chun Niang came to touch Song Wen's forehead to see if he had a fever...
Li Yan pushed open Song Wen's courtyard door at night, walked straight to the door of Song Wen's study and looked directly at him.
"Boy, tell me the truth today...what exactly do you want to do? Do you really want to gather a crowd to rebel?"
Song Wen looked up at Li Yan and said with a smile: "What can I use to rebel? Just this guy number 100 and a group of tenants, making teapots and my sister?"
Li Yan said with a complicated expression: "Do you know that now the entire Qingshan Village, everyone from top to bottom has regarded you as a life-saving god... If you say a word, they will jump into the frying pan! If you do this...
Where is the imperial court?"
Song Wen shook his head... "Uncle Li should ask himself, where did the court treat us people? Most of these people are orphans who fled the rotten Hebei Road, and you saved them one by one with your own hands... Where was the court at that time?
?There are also all the apprentice craftsmen who were refugees and the tenant farmers who could not afford to eat... Where did the court treat them?"
"you you……"
Song Wen looked outside the yard. Li Erlang, Sun Mou Chunniang, and the leaders of the tenant craftsmen were all standing quietly outside the door in silence... In fact, no one could figure out why Song Wen had spent so much of his family wealth!
Song Wen walked to the door and said loudly to all his close confidants with a calm expression: "I will take care of what God doesn't care about, and I will take care of what the court doesn't care about! To do justice for God is the first thing... I, Song Wen, will do my best,
I will practice what Master taught me all my life! I will live up to my ancestors and my partners! I will live up to my loyalty and courage and my true nature as a man! I will enjoy peace in the world, and I will be the first to fight in troubled times! If bandits cause chaos, I will calm the world. If there are aliens, I will bring peace to the world.
Invade me to protect the environment and the people! Qingshan Camp... always put benevolence and righteousness first, and do justice for heaven!"
With a bang, everyone shouted in unison: "Benevolence and righteousness come first, and we must do justice for heaven! Benevolence and righteousness come first and do justice for heaven!"
Li Yan seemed to be relieved. After all, Song Wen still didn't shout any rebellious words to incite these subordinates... But there was still something wrong that made him feel stuck in his throat. What was it? This chapter has been completed!
