It sounds very simple, but in fact, the boast that Lin Daogan had when he recruited people to join the team could not be fulfilled.
At that time, Lin Daoqian promised to give each family a house, an ox, and a year's food rations to all the people who were willing to immigrate to Taiwan. He also guaranteed that as long as they farmed the land well, they would get twenty dan of food per year. If the number was lower than this, he would not only refuse to take any of it, but would also give each household twenty dan!
He tightened his belt and gritted his teeth to fulfill his promise in the first year. For this reason, he invested almost all of Xiaweicheng's income in dog hunting. Fortunately, it is warm all year round and there are bamboo forests all over the place. Building a house with bamboo is fast and cost-effective. Otherwise, the Lin family would have to go bankrupt.
Lin Daoqian comforted his men and comforted himself, just like building Xiaweicheng by himself, the initial investment is necessary. Without a cold to the bone, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms?
As for why we need to give the people a guarantee? In these days, Xiaoliuqiu Island is just like the gate of hell in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty. If you don't give me a guarantee, who is willing to take the risk?
When he thought about it, Dagou¡¯s land was so wide that it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for each household to have ten acres of land. Moreover, the temperature is high and irrigation is convenient. Planting two crops of rice a year and harvesting thirty or forty dan per year is just like fun. Take the lowest number of 30 dan and draw one out of five. The people will still have 24 dan left, which is far more than what they promised. So as long as you get through the first year, everyone will be happy. The common people praised General Lin for keeping his promise, allowing everyone to live a good life, and he could steadily earn more than 100,000 shi of food, and he could get his capital back in one year!
Then let these good people go back to pull people, their own population and land can double, and they will become bigger and stronger, becoming Taiwan's Nanbo Bay!
"It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is too skinny." His dream was ruthlessly shattered by reality. A large number of people were dissatisfied with the climate after arriving on the island. They were attacked by miasma during land reclamation and were so sick that they lost the ability to work. There were also aborigines who had been deprived of their land and persisted in attacking the Han people. As long as the people moved even slightly away from the camp, they might be ambushed. There was even a tragedy where fifty people formed a team to open up wasteland, but all of them lost their heads.
This made the people extremely panicked and they did not dare to stay away from Dagouchengzhai. The area for land reclamation was naturally limited.
¡°And if people want to survive normally and maintain their ability to work, they can¡¯t just eat wild vegetable soup and brown rice. There is also salt, medicine, needles, thread, brains, and women Everything has to be imported from the mainland, and the cost remains high, which has long since completely emptied Lin Daoqian's family fortune.
???????????????? However, the land for hunting dogs is really good, and the Chinese people are willing to endure hardships and have a high level of farming. If they can keep the autumn harvest, each household can still barely receive twenty dan. It's a pity that Taoist Maka burned 7788
Now, not only did Lin Daoqian have no taxes to collect, he also had to subsidize ten or eight stones of food per household. The total is 150,000 to 60,000 dan! Even if the Lin brothers and sisters are sold, this hole will not be plugged!
Before, Lin Feng ran away because she had nothing to do. She was so actively planning to surrender, and she had great intentions of getting rid of this heavy burden.
Furthermore, in this current situation where there are so many complaints, how can these people still work for themselves? If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid he will be tied up and open the gate of the village to ask for surrender, right?
As long as you surrender quickly, your subordinates will have no chance to help you surrender
??~~
After listening to the farmers¡¯ cries and Lin Feng¡¯s explanation, Zhao Hao had a general understanding. He was not surprised by this. Immigration and reclamation is a high-tech job that requires strong organizational skills to coordinate. Although Lin Daoqian and Lin Feng are the most outstanding pirates of this era, the specialty of pirates should be at sea, not in governance.
Just like Mr. Zhao cannot get pregnant and give birth to a child, no one is an all-rounder.
After thinking for a moment, he announced to everyone that this place was now under the control of Jiangnan Group. Although most people have never heard of this name, it doesn't matter, as long as you know that Jiangnan Group will fulfill its promise for Lin Daoqian, and will reduce the tax on grain from five to one in ten, and will openly purchase farmers' grain at protective prices. , as long as the cheap rice will never harm farmers!
The common people looked at each other, wondering whether Mr. Zhao, who appeared out of nowhere, was working or not. Could it be that the traitor Lin Feng came to deceive them?
But I can¡¯t stand Mr. Zhao¡¯s ability. Jiangnan has another bumper harvest of grain this year, and Jiangnan Group is worried that its warehouses full of grain will be useless. After the group took control of Ryukyu, he ordered some of the grain to be transferred to Naha Port. The amount of 150,000 to 60,000 koku was just a drizzle.
He promised everyone that all subsidies would be paid in half a month. If you are still not at ease, you can take Ma Jishan away. If you don¡¯t honor it then, you will be killed or chopped into pieces, it¡¯s up to you!
"Okay!" The common people were also frightened by the Lin brothers and sisters, and actually thought this was a good idea. "Just a few days of wronging Master Ma!"
"The boss?" Ma Jishan's nose was wet, and his eyes were full of tears.sp; "Mr. Zhao's men sent some green coconuts to Xiaweicheng. Where can you find this stuff elsewhere? Aren't you the only one who has it here?" Lin Dao wiped his sweat and said with lingering fear: "It's terrible, it's terrible ¡¡±
If it weren¡¯t for these few coconuts, he almost agreed to Lin Hongzhong It was so dangerous to pull back from the brink!
"Stop talking about me, let's talk about your casualties and losses first?" Seeing that his sister was fine, Lin Daoqian was worried about his roots.
"Zero casualties, no losses."
"Wow, you are so powerful, you are worthy of being my sister!" Lin Daoqian praised first, and then said in shock: "Fuck, you won't just surrender, right?"
"Wrong." Lin Feng said without any shame: "It's submission, which is different from surrender."
"What's the difference?" Lin Daoqian's face darkened, and he just wanted to blame her for not discussing such a big matter with himself first. However, he suddenly discovered that although the girl was wearing men's clothes, she was clearly wearing a woman's bun and her eyebrows were painted.
"Fuck, fuck, you're not going to get yourself involved, are you? I'm losing blood now" Lin Daoqian's heart was cut like a knife. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
