Magical Doctor Hot Wife Shanlihan

Chapter 900 Encouraging Land Reclamation

"Master, is the resettlement of refugees settled? I listened to it by chance, but there is nothing specific. Can you tell me about it?" Su Qin gave Wang Jin the medicine for ten days, and gave it to several others. The patients who came to see the doctor took their pulses and took medicines. After working for half a day, they had time to have a good talk with Master.

"The charter has already been issued. The imperial envoy said it was sent by the imperial court. After all, it was brought by the Seventh Prince. Naturally, a small county like ours cannot welcome the prince. This imperial envoy came with the Seventh Prince's instructions. Appease the refugees, open warehouses for relief, and distribute a certain amount of rations to those who are willing to return to their hometowns so that the refugees can return to their hometowns, and they can also reduce taxes after returning to their hometowns." "

If you don’t want to leave, you can resettle them on the spot. However, all of them must be classified as military households, and each household will send a middle-aged laborer to serve as a soldier, demarcate military fields, and ensure the army’s food supply. Half of the people will choose to become military guards, at least some have a stutter, and they also have land. "

"If you go back to your hometown, whether you can walk back is one thing. If you go back, the fields will be destroyed. If you don't have a living, it's better to take a chance. Although, the possibility of soldiers dying on the battlefield is very high, but anyway, The whole family can survive."

"We don't have many other things here, but we have a lot of land. The government has a large piece of land in its hands, which happens to be distributed to these military households as military farmland. Our land is sparsely populated, and any land can be planted casually. As for the food, if we raise it for two or three years, we will be able to get more food, and we can live a better life."

"In addition, His Royal Highness Seventh also encourages land reclamation. Whether it is military households or ordinary people, as long as the land reclamation is paid and transferred in the Yamen, it is considered their own land. No tax is levied for three years, and only half of it is levied in the fourth and fifth years. It is also a good thing for ordinary people to pay taxes after five years.”

When Sun Bowen said this, he felt quite uncomfortable. In fact, if the disaster relief had been done earlier, the situation might have been better than it is now. Who knows what the court thinks, it is not ordinary people like them who can know the inside story.

"Is it the Seventh Prince's idea to encourage land reclamation, or the court's idea?" Su Qin grasped the point at once, which was a bit different from what Wang Jin said.

"I don't know about this. I guess it's the imperial court. There's not much food in the wasteland, which means that people can't starve to death. They have to be fed with fat, and it's very troublesome to serve, so the common people are rarely willing to open up wasteland. Especially without large animals, it is difficult to open up large stretches of wasteland if it is all relying on manpower, and you have to pay taxes as usual. Now that this policy is in place, it is estimated that more people will open up wasteland." Sun Bowen didn't think so Many, tax exemption for land reclamation, after all, is good for the common people.

Hearing what the master said, it is estimated that this matter is Xiao Tianyi's own idea. Otherwise, why didn't I hear Wang Jin mention it? Going to Putao caused a lot of trouble, why is it so difficult to do something practical for the common people.

Not only was Su Qin worried, but Wang Jin's complexion was also very bad. He quietly sneaked into the imperial envoy's backyard, showed his jade badge representing his identity, and then exchanged information with the frightened imperial envoy. He also frowned when he heard about the wasteland tax exemption.
