814 Chapter 814: Popularity
The agrarian revolution in the Pune area went smoothly and quickly beyond expectations. Ordinary soldiers were allocated two acres of land, squad leaders three acres of land, squadron leaders four acres of land, thousand commanders five acres, and ten thousand commanders ten acres.
The allocated fields may not seem to be many, but compared to the high grain yield of the Biadong subcontinent, it is enough to feed a family of several people.
In addition to the rewards for professionals, junior professionals can get one more mu, intermediate professionals can get two acres of land, advanced professionals can get three acres of land, all professionals (great swordsman level) can be divided into six acres directly, and division-level occupations can be divided into fifteen acres. , 30 acres of land for master-level professionals, and mentor-level powerhouses can be directly conferred titles.
For a while, the whole Pune area cheered continuously.
These fields are protected by the Merlot constitution. Even if the soldiers' whole families die, they cannot be annexed, they will only be taken over as state-owned, so as to ensure the integrity of the civilian land to the greatest extent.
In an emergency, soldiers who need money urgently can also apply for a mortgage with the Field Line City Hall.
"Hey, brother, is what you said true?"
A soldier who had just returned home from a routine patrol heard his elder brother talking with his family about the matter.
With the help of his wife, Telma removed his armor. Both he and his eldest brother served in the city defense army. Both of their brothers were refugees, and later joined the refugee army. They stayed in the city defense army because of their outstanding performance.
It is precisely because of the job of the city defense army that they have gained a firm foothold in the main city of Pune.
"It's true, I just got the news from the army, and you should be back by the time, so I ran over to tell you, if you don't believe me, you can go to the barracks tomorrow and ask." Turk said excitedly.
Turk is just an ordinary veteran and has not become a professional, but Thelma is different. He became a junior swordsman two years ago, and he is preparing to attack the middle-level swordsman in the past two years. to five acres of land.
The corner of Therma's mouth slightly curled up and said, "I'm already an intermediate swordsman."
"Haha, that's even better." Turk was even happier. Although his younger brother got more land than him, Turk was also happy from the bottom of his heart to see his brother's life getting better and better.
"It seems that we will work hard in the future."
Thelma, who is in the position of team leader, sees further. Since the field has been divided, if she wants to hold the field completely in her hands, she must not allow the Maxim Chamber of Commerce to defeat the Dongyapu Company.
"That's right, I heard that the first wave of conscription has started, recruits can also be allocated an acre of land, and as long as they complete their service, they can be allocated an additional acre of land." Turk's eyes were on how to allocate an additional acre of land.
bang bang...
Just as Telma was about to continue talking, the door was knocked, and Telma's wife hurried to open the door, and then came in with a strange expression.
"It's Aunt Lima next door, and..."
Thelma looked over suspiciously, just in time to see Aunt Lima bringing her just-adult child, and other neighbors also brought their young laborers.
"What are you?" Thelma had expected it in her heart, but she was still very surprised.
The temptation of fields to ordinary civilians is so great.
"Captain Telma, I want our children to join the army, and I hope you can take them to the military camp tomorrow." Aunt Lima said nervously.
Telma smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Lima, you should call me Telma! We have been neighbors for so long, aren't you making fun of me?"
"It's not that I don't want to. You should think about it clearly. Once your children go to the army, under the current situation, they will soon go to the battlefield. Your children may die."
When Thelma said the last sentence, her expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Of course we know, but the benefits provided by Dongyapu Company are too good. In addition to the benefits of being a soldier, now they also take back the land of the nobles and lords, and subcontract all the land to all the people. Originally, we gave the nobles and lords to plant Land, at the end of a year of hard work, we can barely make ends meet. Yesterday, someone from the city hall helped us to settle the 50 acres of land that our family is helping the noble lord to take care of. With an annual output of 5,000 catties of grain, 250,000 catties of grain can be produced a year, except for 80% of the grain that is handed over, which is 200,000 catties, and the remaining 50,000 catties belong to my family." Li The more Aunt Ma talked, the more excited she became.
"That's right, that's right!"
The neighbors behind Aunt Lima also echoed.
The Principality of Prince doesn’t like slaves. The nobles here have learned a lot. They rent the land to the people for farming. Every year, regardless of whether the harvest is good or not, the nobles will take away 95% of the land. food.
Aunt Lima's family has a total of thirteen members. After a year of hard work, they can only receive more than 12,000 catties of grain. In addition to saving seeds, the grain that is being received is only about 10,000 catties.
Based on the calculation of three catties of grain per person per day, thirty-nine catties of grain would be needed a day, and more than fourteen thousand catties of grain would be needed in a year. Therefore, most of the time, they were barely able to eat enough, and this also included the past few years. The chemical fertilizer produced by Dongyapu Company increased the output. In the past few years, they could only harvest five to six thousand catties of grain a year, and they had to scrape tree bark and dig grass roots to eat from time to time.
"What, Dong Yapu Company is so generous." Telma was taken aback by the number that Aunt Lima said.
In the future, Aunt Lima's family will not only be able to eat enough, but also exchange the extra grain for cloth, and even occasionally eat meat.
"We don't know the truth, but we know that if you want to live a good life, you have to rely on your own hands to protect it. The officials of the city hall said that it doesn't matter if their Dongyapu company is defeated. The big deal is to change places Doing business, but we have to return to the hands of that hateful nobleman before we have warmed the fields, and we will return to the original hard life." Aunt Lima said excitedly.
Thelma said after a while of silence: "Okay, I understand, I will take them to the military camp tomorrow to answer the call, but let me explain in advance that the scale of the war between East Asia and the Maxim Chamber of Commerce is very large, and we may die a lot People, there is a good chance your family will be gone forever."
When Aunt Lima heard this, she was also silent for a while, and she didn't speak, apparently caught in an ideological struggle.
The young man next to Aunt Lima said with a firm face: "Brother Telma, we have grown up, and we should also contribute to our family. Since Dongyapu Company took over the main city of Pune, the security in the city It’s also much better. No nobleman came out to do evil in the outer city anymore, and no nobleman dared to run wildly in the outer city. Do you still remember Xiya? She was just going out to help her parents deliver lunch, but she was hit to death by two noble young masters on horseback. "
