Warring States Eagle

In the meeting hall of Zhengliang's mansion on Yegao Mountain, due to the order of the lord to "kidnap" the refugees, the meeting hall fell into an awkward silence.

Zhengliang glanced at the retainers below, Togo Heiji still hesitated to speak; Onishi Guoji was thoughtful; Tsuda Hiromune showed no objection. In his consciousness, as long as the refugees were not harmed, And it’s enough to bring stability to the refugees, and it’s so troublesome to lure such a strategy, just pull them to the territory directly; as for Xingsuke and Chujiro, it’s a matter of course, after all, they used to do it often of.

"Well, it's decided like this. National governance and Xingsuke, spreading false information about the territory and recruiting refugees are all in charge of you, while Heiji is responsible for resettling the refugees. All the refugees will be arranged on the side of the wasteland that is being reclaimed in the southwest of Nodaka Town," Masara After finalizing the decision, he continued, "How much is the agricultural tax of the nearby Haoqiang?"

"Your Highness, the nearby tyrants all adopt the agricultural tax of eight gongs and two farmers. If there is a war, it will even be nine gongs and one farmer," Onishi Guozhi said extremely indignantly.The people next to him were also full of anger, only Togo Heiji lowered his head in embarrassment. He used to be the head of the Togo branch family, and he also adopted the same agricultural tax for the townspeople in his territory.

"What?" Zheng Liang was taken aback. In such an era of extremely backward agricultural technology, wouldn't such a tax policy mean that farmers would starve to death?If you don't want to starve to death, you have to go up the mountain and down the sea to find something to eat, no wonder there are bandits and pirates everywhere.

"Yes, Your Highness, basically all the tyrants in Matsuura County use this kind of agricultural tax. If you adopt a better agricultural tax for farmers, it will easily attract the hostility of nearby tyrants. Of course, if you have enough strength, you don't need it at all. If you are afraid of the threat from the nearby tyrants, you can also adopt a lower agricultural tax," Dongxiang Heiji reminded in a low voice.

"Well," Zheng Liang silently calculated in his heart, and at the same time was considering whether it was necessary to adjust the policy he drafted last night according to the actual situation.After frowning and thinking for a while, Zheng Liang continued, "From next month, the current collective rationing system in the territory will be cancelled. All citizens in the territory will be given 5 buckets of miscellaneous grains per month for adults and 3 buckets of miscellaneous grains per month for children. Xing distributes 5 months of grain so that they can persist until the end of the autumn harvest in September, and then they can be self-reliant. Starting next month, the citizens will be free to manage their own fields, and the territory will no longer provide food Funding, those who are unable to take care of the fields by themselves, will be arranged by Matsumiko, and the fields will be included in the public land of the territory, and the food will be distributed according to the labor contribution after the autumn harvest. Heiji, you can arrange it."

"Your Highness, according to your arrangement, we will need about 600 shi of grain this time. In addition to yesterday's arrangement, the current territory needs to consume more than 2000 shi of grain." Dongxiang Heiji felt that the lord had started to commit the "prodigal" problem again. Yes, the territory has just had some food reserves, and according to the speed of the lord's squandering, it will be exhausted soon, so he had to speak out to remind Zheng Liang.

Zheng Liang smiled slightly and said, "Heiji, your calculations are too small, it is more than 4000 shi, and there is still a budget of 2000 shi for the expansion of the territory's troops. In addition, the territory will carry out large-scale water conservancy and road construction corvee, which will also consume a lot of food. "

"Huh?" Togo Heiji almost jumped up.According to his thinking, the lord could at least make the territory survive this winter safely by guarding the grain captured this time, but he found that he had far underestimated the speed of the lord's "prodigal" and was stunned for a moment. I was speechless for a long time.Everyone was also startled by Zheng Liang's plan, and they all looked at the lord.

"Hehe, everyone, as the population of the territory continues to increase, the original territorial laws are no longer suitable for the further development of the territory." Zheng Liang can't talk to these people about how to stimulate production enthusiasm and "money begets money" after hundreds of years. "Theory, so I simply analyze it briefly, and enforce my own orders based on the idea of ​​​​understanding and implementing, "Here are some territorial laws and regulations I drew up last night, and everyone circulates them." After finishing speaking, Masaragi waved to Kisaburo who had been standing behind him holding several pieces of paper.

Kisaburo immediately delivered the papers to Zheng Liang, Zheng Liang picked up the papers, and used a brush to slightly modify the content on them one by one, and then Kisaburo delivered them to the following people respectively.

The laws on these papers were formulated last night by Zheng Liang based on the actual situation of the territory, collectively referred to as Roche's laws.As far as Masara knew, the main family was not the first person in this era to formulate a special law for the main family. Before him, in Kyushu, there were the Sagara family's "Sagara's law" and the Ouchi family's "Ouchi family's wall book"; A little further away are the "Asakura Takakagejo" by the Asakura family, the "Imagawa Kaname Catalog" by the Imagawa family, and the most famous "Dust Mustard Collection" by the Date family.

At the beginning of "Roche's Law", it is first clear that this law will be the only law for all the territories of the Luo family.The first part of the legal text is about land regulations, which mainly have three contents:

[-]. All the land, trees, and rivers in the territory belong to the lord, and the lord leases the land to the citizens for use.Each household must register the land situation in detail and pay taxes regularly.The land can be inherited by designated relatives, and if no one inherits it, it will be owned by the territory.

[-]. Land is not allowed to be bought or sold without the approval of the lord

1. Each household is only allowed to own up to five anti-lands (10 anti-land = [-] mu) and two anti-woodlands.

Since the current territories are all homeless people who have no land, dirty people, or farmers who own a small amount of land, and there are no people who own more than the land limit, so there will be no resistance to the implementation.But with the expansion of the territory in the future, there will inevitably be some obstacles. Zhengliang is not worried about this, because those who can exceed these limits are some local tyrants. If they want to get their land, they must be defeated. As the defeated party, Only at the mercy of Zhengliang.Of course, the main purpose of implementing this order is to prevent new local tyrants from appearing in one's own territory in the future.For his retainers, Zhengliang planned to adopt the salary system and try to avoid rewarding land.

The second part of the legal text is about the status of the citizens and the regulations on the agricultural tax. It mainly has two contents:

[-]. There are three main identities in a territory: a citizen, a laborer, and a slave.

For first-class citizens, the agricultural tax is eight public and two agricultural;

For second-level citizens, the agricultural tax is seven publics and three rural areas;

For the third-level citizens, the agricultural tax is six public and four agricultural;

For the fourth-level citizens, the agricultural tax is five public and five agricultural;

The five-level leader, the agricultural tax is four public and six people.

Labor labor: The former territorial residents who violate the laws of the territory will be demoted to labor labor, and will be executed for a certain year of long-term corvee according to the degree of violation. There will be no remuneration during the execution of corvee.After the period of corvée expires, the original status of the resident can be restored.

Slaves: Enemy captured persons are subject to long-term corvee service for a certain year according to the degree of harm to the territory, and there is no remuneration during the corvée period.After the period of corvée expires, one can become a first-class citizen.

[-]. Instructions for improving citizenship status:

First-class citizens: From the day they settle in the territory, they are first-class citizens.

Second-level resident: After the first-level resident has settled in the territory for one year, he will automatically become a second-level resident;

First-level citizens who settle in the territory within one year and send their relatives over six years old and under 14 years old to the territorial school, and ensure that the children participate in the studies organized by the school on time, will automatically be converted into second-level citizens.

Third-level resident: After the resident has settled in the territory for three years, he will automatically become a third-level resident;

At the same time, regardless of the length of residence, all the residents, as long as someone in each household becomes the lord's ashigaru, they will automatically be converted to a third-level resident; moreover, contributions to the territory can also be granted by the lord himself to the third-level resident.

Fourth-level lords: All lords, as long as someone in each household becomes the lord's warrior, they will automatically be converted to fourth-level lords.

At the same time, if you make a major contribution to the territory, the lord can personally grant it to the fourth-level citizens.

Level [-] Territorial: For major contributions to the territory, the lord can personally award a Level [-] leader.

Originally, the agricultural tax of the lowest level of citizens formulated by Zhengliang was Qigong Sannong. After listening to the opinions of Togo Heiji, it was revised after full consideration; according to the law, for an ordinary citizen, the first year of settlement in the territory is Hachiko In the second year, there are seven public and three rural areas, and in the fourth year, there are six public and four rural areas. At the same time, some preferential regulations have been added to encourage the citizens to actively participate in the schools and military forces of the territory; of course, the agricultural tax cannot make the citizens I think it is too easy to obtain. If an ordinary citizen intends to live a simple life, at most it will be the agricultural tax of six public and four agricultural. power or make a major contribution; finally, there is the issue of fairness. The above-mentioned laws cannot take care of those families whose children are young, or even have no children, let alone young and strong men. It can be said that these are the most vulnerable groups. How to protect these families will be explained in the following statute.

The third part of the main body of the law is the ordinance on territorial corvee, which mainly has five contents:

[-]. Cancel all rents and taxes in the territory except agricultural tax and commercial tax.

[-]. Territorial people participate in corvee under the organization of the territory. During the period of corvee, food is uniformly distributed by the territory, and the territory gives reasonable remuneration (mainly food) according to the amount of labor.

[-]. Residents in need at home can apply for relief at the designated place in the territory. After verification, the territory will provide relief according to the minimum allocation every month, and the longest relief period is one year.

[-]. Territors lacking agricultural tools can rent them at the designated place in the territory. The maximum rental period is seven days.

V. Relief and Lease Repayment Method:

Directly use food or coins to repay;

After the annual autumn harvest, use grain or coins to repay;

After participating in the corvee service organized by the territory, the territory will be deducted from the payable remuneration.

Here, Zhengliang used the concept of "loan" in later generations to allow the leaders to apply for farm tools and even food, which can be returned later, which greatly protected the survival of those vulnerable groups in the early days of settlement; at the same time, the leaders were encouraged to actively participate in corvee.

The fourth part of the main body of the law is the ordinance on territorial secrecy, which mainly has five contents:

[-]. The citizens are not allowed to leave the territory without the approval of the lord;

[-]. Territorial citizens are not allowed to mention any information related to the territory to anyone, such as laws and technologies;

5. Once a suspicious or unfamiliar person is found, it must be reported to the territory in time. After verification, those who have not reached the third-level leader will be directly promoted to the third-level leader; those who have reached the third-level leader will be given [-] shi grain rewards.

5. If the report violates the confidentiality regulations, after verification, those who have not reached the third-level leader will be directly promoted to the third-level leader; those who have reached the third-level leader will be given [-] stones of food rewards.

Many of the policies and technologies that Zhengliang implements in the territory now surpass this era. Once acquired by the enemy force, it will not only strengthen the opponent's strength, but also greatly threaten himself. When he is not strong enough, these things Must be kept strictly confidential.However, it is difficult to keep secrets only by relying on the defense force of the territory, so the only way to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in the territory is to make all the people become secret monitors.

The fifth part of the main body of the law is about the ordinances of the civil weapons in the territory, which mainly has five contents:

[-]. Without the permission of the lord, it is not allowed to privately possess weapons such as swords, spears, footwear, bows and arrows stipulated in the territory;

[-]. Those who already own weapons must hand in the territory, and the territory will give corresponding food and currency compensation;

[-]. Any private collection, once discovered, will be confiscated immediately, and the private collection will be punished with a certain amount of hard labor.

In fact, this is the "Knife Hunting Order". Although the territorial laws have benefited farmers a lot, it is difficult to rule out that they will still be bewitched by some people, and then they will make a one-time or even one-time one. This is enough for themselves, so in order to prevent Before it happens, it is better to implement this measure as soon as possible.

The last part of the legal text is the sixth, which is mainly about the regulations on rewards and punishments of the territory. There is only one ordinance, but the content is very detailed. The corresponding length of service required.For whistleblowers, certain food rewards will be given.

The entire "Rochester's Laws" has six chapters and eighteen regulations.For a long period of time, it has adapted to the needs of the territory. It has not violated the interests of most people in the territory, and even most of them are beneficiaries. For the territories occupied in the future, Zhengliang is going to adopt a high-pressure policy to enforce , Of course, this will lead to the resistance of some farmers in these territories who secretly concealed their fields and the original local tyrants, especially for the local tyrants who voluntarily surrendered. In this regard, Zhengliang is going to use the method of paying back their salaries, or even directly eliminate them.

The law generally confirms a lot of requirements, so that the citizens can quickly settle down and ensure the interests of most people.Of course, due to over-generalization, there are still many loopholes.For example, the arrangement of the executors of specific policies, the specific reward and remuneration standards, etc. are not clearly stipulated, and there are even some situations where loopholes can be exploited. These need to be continuously improved in the future.
