Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 415: What kind of rebellion?

Since the arrival of the Minister of Works, the centurion has become more and more puzzled. However, he can never find a good time to ask Huo Yunchao to answer his questions.

While the minister of the Ministry of Industry was resting in the county government office, the centurion finally found an opportunity. Yan Dahu also had questions and followed the centurion to find Huo Yunchao.

Huo Yunchao saw the coquettish centurion, and then looked at Yan Dahu, who was suppressed by the centurion, and couldn't help but smile: "What's going on with you two? One is as coquettish as a married daughter-in-law, and the other has a pouty mouth. Hang up the oil pot. Yan Dahu, you speak first."

Yan Dahu looked at the centurion triumphantly and approached Huo Yunchao: "Master Marquis, I heard that there is a military garrison system? The garrison system requires us soldiers to work in the fields? I heard that the court does not give us food and salary. Allocate land for us to grow our own food and feed ourselves?"

Huo Yunchao glanced at the nervous centurion and said with a smile: "Yan Dahu, you don't have to hide in front of me. If you hear any good or bad news, just tell me."

He used "I" instead of "I", which represented the claim of equality, which was enough to make Yan Dahu let down his guard.

Yan Dahu said at once: "Master Hou, I heard people say that the military system is to squeeze the soldiers. They say that we soldiers only eat white rice and suck the blood of the common people. So the Marquis told Your Majesty that we should be soldiers." We need to support ourselves. He also said that the Marquis wants to force those of us who serve as soldiers to give up our identities and become the slaves of the Marquis..."

The centurion coughed violently several times as a reminder.

Yan Dahu was interrupted for a moment. He pretended not to hear the centurion's warning and continued: "Master Marquis, others don't know who you are. I have been dealing with Master Hou for so long. I believe you." It's definitely not as bad as those people say. But I can't understand, Lord Marquis, why do you want to establish this military garrison system? We soldiers don't eat for free. If there is a war, we have to shed our lives and blood. Risk your life and don't fight to the death against the enemy! The villain can't understand."

The centurion gave up the persuasion and stared at Huo Yunchao eagerly, trying to find the clues he wanted to know from the changes in Huo Yunchao's expression.

Huo Yunchao smiled and asked Yan Dahu: "Am I this bad in the rumors? Have I not done any other bad things?"

Yan Dahu looked at Huo Yunchao, gritted his teeth and said, "Also, some people say that the Marquis wants to recruit troops and start a rebellion."

"Pfft-hahahahahaha..."

Huo Yunchao was amused by this ridiculous guess, and laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.

"Oh my god! Who is the smart one who came up with this? To frame me? Do I recruit troops? Do I raise troops to rebel? What kind of rebellion do I rebel? I am the Marquis of Pingle, your Majesty's personal title! If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would still be that person A worthless country boy, the son-in-law of the Xu family who was laughed at and ridiculed by others! Why should I rebel? Did I let the door panel get caught in my head? "

Yan Dahu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't be angry. I also think this statement is too ridiculous, and I didn't plan to tell you."

The centurion rolled his eyes at Yan Dahu, approached Huo Yunchao and asked, "Master Marquis, why are you here, Minister of the Ministry of Industry? To implement the garrison system?"

When Huo Yunchao heard this, he immediately suppressed his smile, nodded and said: "Your Majesty ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to come to inspect our place for the garrison system, because he wants to treat us as a trial area for the garrison system. If it were here, the garrison system would If the implementation of the system fails to achieve the desired results, then the garrison system will not be implemented. You don’t need to worry. I proposed the garrison system. Based on your current situation, the garrison system is only good and not bad. "

The centurion cupped his hands and said, "Please answer my questions, Lord Marquis."

Huo Yunchao explained in a few words: "The original intention of the military garrison system is not to squeeze you, but to allow you to have more autonomy and grow your own food and raise yourself. This is not a bad thing. Think about it, before you After a long wait for the food and salary distributed by the court, they suffered from hunger. The whole family was emaciated, and the young children starved to death...

Yan Dahu, Centurion, just imagine, if the army owns the land belonging to your soldiers, military training can be carried out at fixed times, collective farming and breeding during busy periods, and double training during slack periods, it can be self-sufficient without delaying business. You no longer have to hold your palms upward and wait for others to bring you food. Only by having enough food and clothing can you build a strong body and be strong enough to fight the enemy in defense of your home and country. "

After careful consideration, the centurion raised a question related to his vital interests: "Master Marquis, what if the food grown on our army's land cannot feed us?"

Huo Yunchao replied: "Centurion, the military garrison system does not mean that the court is completely hands-off, but it is to allocate land to you to ensure your most basic living needs. The equipment used in military training, the food and horses during the war are still required. The imperial court will allocate it. In addition, the imperial court will give you grain and salary every year. The most important thing is that you do not have to pay extra taxes and corvees for farming."

The centurion hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Master Marquis, what if future officials don't recognize this policy?"

Huo Yunchao made a solemn promise to Centurion and Yan Dahu: "Centurion, I won't brag with you, I will only talk about reality. I promise you that as long as I am alive and able to speak, your rights and interests will not be infringed. If unfortunately I die early, or if I, the Marquis of Pingle, no longer receive His Majesty’s protection, then I won’t be able to help with what the next official will do.”

The centurion wanted to say something more, but Yan Dahu from the side squeezed over: "Master Marquis, I believe in you, I believe in Your Majesty. As long as we perform well and the military garrison system is implemented all over the world, then there will not be one or two officials. I won’t admit it if I don’t admit it.”

Huo Yunchao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Yan Dahu, you are right! You look like a rough guy, but your ideas are quite delicate."

Yan Dahu chuckled and said: "Master Hou, did the county magistrate tell us when the land will be allocated to us? Where will the land be allocated to us? Is there any fertile land? Will it be all wasteland? The wasteland must be cultivated for five to ten years. Only then will there be a good harvest.”

Huo Yunchao pointed to the sweet potatoes that were growing very luxuriantly not far away, and said to Yan Dahu: "If you plant rice and wheat, you can have good harvests in fertile fields. But the sweet potatoes we grow don't need very good land. You can still get good harvests if you work hard." Harvest. Besides, in the first three years after allocating the land to you, the imperial court still delivered food and supplies to you as before. The amount of food you harvest from the land is the resource you have saved. If you save it for three years, you still have to worry about not having enough to eat. meal?"

Yan Dahu's eyes lit up: "Master Hou, the military garrison system must be promoted!"

The centurion still had some doubts in his heart, but his most concerned question had been answered. The Marquis Pingle standing in front of him would protect them for at least three years.
