Chapter 262 Make Liangzhou great again!
Before leaving Luoyang, Liu Bei found Zhang Rang and asked him if he had a reliable relationship in Sansuke.

Liu Bei considered the food difficulties he might face when he first arrived in Liangzhou, and hoped to buy cheap and large quantities of food through their relationship. Zhang Rang thought about it and recommended a man named Meng Tuo to him.

He said that this man is a wealthy man with a lot of family property. He got the post of governor of Liangzhou by giving him a lot of things back then, and made a lot of money while in office. Get out of the body and continue to go home to be a rich man.

He owns land in Sanfuguang, and also runs a business. Over the years, he has never forgotten to send gifts to Zhang Rang to connect with him. He is a reliable person. If Liu Bei needs it, he can contact him on his behalf.

Of course, it's a favor.

Liu Bei accepted.

Before the start of the Five Counties Expedition Plan, he arranged for Zhen Yan to go to Youfufeng to meet Meng Tuo and discuss with him a business plan for long-term, large-scale, and stable purchase of grain, hoping to get the best price from him.

Meng Tuo got Zhang Rang's advice in advance, and he didn't dare to be cautious with people like Liu Bei, so he sold grain to Liu Bei at a price of one hundred yuan and one stone, which was much cheaper than Liu Bei's purchase of grain in Sanhe.

It is estimated that even if it is not the cost price, it is not too far from the cost price. Buying grain at this price is definitely profitable for Liu Bei.

Therefore, Liu Bei does not intend to treat Meng Tuo badly. In order to let him do his best to save food for himself, Liu Bei promised him that after the Pu Tao Garden and Pu Tao Wine production workshop are established, he will be given a special franchise right and allowed him to use the preferential price. Get the price.

You pour out cheap food for me, and I give you cheap apple wine, which will definitely make you rich.

This incident really made Meng Tuo very happy.

Rose apple wine is expensive, and in many places there is a price but no market. Since the war in Liangzhou, many original ways to obtain rose peach wine have been cut off, and there has been no way to get goods for a long time. Through this transaction, he It's a joy from heaven to have successfully hooked up with Liangzhou Mu.

As a result, nearly 10 people who returned their household registrations and prisoners of war in various counties arrived at the stalls in Hanyang County, and the first batch of grain purchased from Sansuke was also transported to Hanyang County in a mighty manner.

Seeing so much food coming in, the hearts of the people in the state capital and the county government suddenly stabilized.

Gai Xun, Yan Zhong, Yan Wen and others lamented that Liu Bei's sky-reaching means could always get what he needed from other places and bring it to Liangzhou to save the predicament. It is difficult for Liangzhou people to see.

They realized that those who wanted to confront Liu Bei on policy might not only face Liu Bei, but all the social relations behind him from Luoyang.

Over there, Liu Bei has very efficient personal connections that they can't imagine, and all aspects of these personal connections are beyond their ability to fight.

The significance of Liu Bei's political identity in Luoyang is far beyond what people can guess, and what Liu Bei's status as the inheritor of classics has brought to him is far beyond what people in Liangzhou can imagine.

Liu Bei really came to Liangzhou to be a state shepherd.

They felt bursts of surprise, followed by bursts of joy.

As locals, they certainly hope to see Liu Bei bring the money and supplies they urgently need to the local area, so that Liangzhou, which has been struggling for a long time, can be rejuvenated.

Therefore, after the food brought by Liu Bei arrived, Gai Xun, Yan Zhong, Yan Wen and other local people with great prestige in the local area personally came forward and contacted a group of local figures in Hanyang County. The state government donated a batch of food.

Not too much, but more or less counts as an attitude.

We have seen your supernatural power, we are convinced, whatever you say in the future, as long as it is not too much, even if it hurts our interests a little, as long as there is some compensation, we are willing to cooperate, how about it?Interesting enough?

So far, Liu Bei has determined that at least in Hanyang County, he has initially established an unambiguous authority.

So Liu Bei began to prepare for the establishment of Liangzhou's political, military and economic system centered on Hanyang County, so as to bring the long-suffering Liangzhou back up and revive it.

Make Liangzhou great again!
Manpower, he has.

Funds, he has.

Food, he has.

Authority, he has.

What are you waiting for?
Let's do it!

Starting from Hanyang County, Liu Bei began to arrange a comprehensive statistics and rectification of the abandoned land, and then prepared to promote the construction of collective farms.

The main target is the more than [-] Hu Han population obtained through the war.

Needless to say, there is a realistic basis for promoting the construction of collective farms in border areas like Liangzhou.

Because the frontier areas of Liangzhou had a tradition of collective military and civilian villages in the early days and large-scale promotion of farmland production, military villages and civilian villages were in a sense the embryonic form of collective farms, and it was precisely because of this collective production model Only then can there be a basis for the implementation of the Daitian Law.

During the Western Han Dynasty, in order to fight against the Xiongnu, the Western Han Dynasty promoted the immigration plan, large-scale immigration to the border, and implemented the policy of garrisoning land to provide food for the army.

Therefore, there is no tradition of collective production in the inland counties, but in border areas such as Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, there is a certain tradition in order to provide military rations for the army.

Based on this, Liu Bei announced that he would re-promote the "Mintun Law" in Liangzhou, but he would change his name and surname to become "collective farms".

The main content is to reorganize the captured people into household registers, break them up and divide them into production groups, and use the number of strong labor force and family units as a reference. The government will grant land to them, not to individuals, but to collectives. Farm] This collective.

When farmers belong to collective farms, they have the right to use and harvest the allocated land. When they do not belong to collective farms, they will automatically lose all rights to the land.

Therefore, a single farmer does not have the authority to sell or purchase land. It needs to apply collectively to the land authority of the county government. Land transactions can only be carried out under the auspices of the government, and land transactions will be strictly restricted.

As for harvest distribution, Liu Bei said that the government will formulate a concept of "farm points" through calculations and actual conditions.

Generally, the farm points are accumulated according to the working time of each farmer, and the agricultural products are distributed according to the amount of farm points after harvesting. Finally, the basic concept of more work, more pay is implemented, so as to promote farmers' enthusiasm for production.

These will be explained in detail to the farmers after the farm is established, so that they all understand the rules here.

Farmers pay taxes to the government in the form of collective farms, and also participate in a series of activities such as conscription, corvee, and construction labor by the government as a collective.

The most advantageous aspect of this strategy is that through collective production, the production risks of individual households under the smallholder production model can be hedged.

Because the land belongs to the collective, production also belongs to the collective. When a single laborer is conscripted by the government to engage in military service, corvee service, and other construction labor operations, the agricultural work within the scope of his own responsibility will be assigned by the collective farm to other people to work on his behalf, ensuring land. Not waste.

Moreover, the government must also ensure the balance between agricultural production and manpower utilization in this process, and must not arbitrarily recruit excessive labor from farms to engage in non-agricultural production activities.

Liu Bei also took out the detailed regulations in this regard to discuss and discuss with everyone, and made adjustments based on a series of production plans after the Liangzhou State Mufu Mansion, and calculated a more appropriate criterion for manpower deployment. Under the management of the government The kolkhoz were promoted in this way.

Regarding the doubts raised by some officials for various purposes, Liu Bei waved his hand and laughed.

"Mintun has existed since ancient times, and the effect is really good. It's just that management problems have caused it to gradually fall into disrepair. Now we count it, but it is to use the wisdom of the ancients and correct the mistakes of the ancients. If it is not done well, Then don’t do it, if it’s done well, it can be promoted and put into practice, that’s the only criterion for testing the truth.”
