Chapter 274 Dividing fields is the best way to stimulate combat effectiveness! (First update!) There are more than 5 million hectares of arable land in Annan, mainly distributed in Hanoi, accounting for about 90%. In other words, the arable area here can feed nearly 100 million people. Only a small part has been relocated now. Next, those natives who fall within the scope of the requisition will be transferred to the canal to help the British widen the canal. "Tuanzuo? Are you serious?" Meng Fanxiao still found it a bit unbelievable, so he asked again with certainty. "What? Still don't believe it?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled. He knew that this news was too unbelievable for Meng Fanglia. "Yes, after all, this is Hanoi." Meng Fanlao said still worried. "So what? This is not a French colony now, but the Li Dynasty. They didn't say anything. What do you think Stilwell's attitude will be?" Cun Yunsheng felt that this guy was still too cautious. "I guess he must have pretended not to see it, because the military camp can reduce our logistical pressure. Otherwise, Stilwell would have to find a way to get us logistical supplies." "Strictly speaking, we are sharing the pressure with Stilwell."

Seeing Cun Yunsheng's righteous look, Meng Fanlai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. "But you are right, the division of land cannot be decided by the two of us. We have to ask other people's opinions." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and decided to ask other people's opinions. It just so happened that during this period, there was no major war. Therefore, after careful consideration, Cun Yunsheng decided to hold a key-level meeting. Soon, more than ten telegrams were sent from Hanoi to various places. The officers who received the telegrams immediately handed over their work to their deputies and rushed towards Hanoi as quickly as possible. Fortunately, there are planes, so as long as you rush to the corresponding big city, you can take a transport plane to Hanoi. In just three days, the officers who received the telegram arrived in Hanoi. It can be said that this is the first time so many people from the Sichuan Army have gathered together since Lashio. Mainly based on the people of the original cannon fodder regiment. When these people get together, they can talk endlessly. The other ones are some defeated troops gathered midway after the Tonggu battle. This part of the Sichuan Legion was promoted very quickly, but compared to the original cannon fodder regiment, the number was a little smaller, so they hugged each other again. As for some of the officers who were later excavated, a new group was formed. Cun Yunsheng knew the strength of his subordinates. But he didn't care about it, because he knew that where there are people in the world, there are mountains. "Sir Ayi, you are living a good life. You have gained weight. Now that you are on the battlefield, will you still feel nauseous?" As soon as they met, Bu La teased Lin Yi. We used to eat together under the same roof, so there was no discomfort in teasing. Fortunately, after the training, Lin Yi lost the shyness before and said with a smile. "You're doing well too. Your face is much more moisturized than before."

Compared to the cannon fodder group, everyone teased each other. Those officers who joined halfway were naturally worried. Because they didn’t know why they were allowed to go to Hanoi. "Old Ma, do you have any inside information?" Wang Can, who was also an officer of the 200 Division, looked at Ma Yuan, who had just been promoted to battalion commander, and asked in a low voice. "How can I have any inside information?" Ma Yuan said with a bitter look on his face. He is now considered a mid-level officer in the Sichuan Army, but his information channels are much less. Before the chat here was over, they saw the door of the conference room being pushed open. Everyone stood up quickly and stared at Cun Yunsheng. Cun Yunsheng was pacing and looking at everyone. I couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism in my heart. "Sit." Cun Yunsheng sat down and motioned for everyone to take their seats. "Everyone, do you still remember the agreement we made at Zenda?" Cun Yunsheng said as soon as he sat down. "Team leader, is this the agreement that will lead us to victory?" Lin Yi was the first to stand up and said respectfully. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, I promised you back then that I would live up to the reputation of the Sichuan Army. Now half a year has passed, and I can proudly say to you that I did it." "Who doesn't know the reputation of our Sichuan Army?" These words did not have much impact on those who joined later. For the people in the cannon fodder regiment, the feeling was particularly deep. They vaguely remembered that they didn't trust Cun Yunsheng's words at first. According to Meng Fangliao, they are just a bunch of grass-eating things. I actually ate meat. So, for the sake of pork stewed vermicelli, they convinced themselves. Force yourself to believe that Cun Yunsheng will be able to lead them to victory. Let them get rid of the title of cannon fodder. Now along the way, they have indeed gotten rid of the title of cannon fodder. Become a resounding elite. And Cun Yunsheng lived up to his original vow. With one victory after another, the Sichuan Army has gained a great reputation. "Tanzuo..." Bu La also stood up, choked with sobs and didn't know what to say.

The rest of the cannon fodder group were also similar, and they all felt deeply. Although Long Wenwen remained silent, it could be seen from his expression that the other party was not calm. "Tuanzuo, you asked us all to come to Hanoi. You must have some plan, right? If you give the order, I, Ma Dazhi, will never frown." Snake Butt also followed suit. Others also stood up one after another, saying that they were ordered to complete it to the death. Seeing the high morale, Cun Yunsheng expressed his relief and motioned for them all to sit down. "This time, I want you to come here. There is one thing I need to discuss with you. Our army has just occupied Hanoi and found many landless lands, many of which are uncultivated." "In addition, General Stilwell is currently unable to provide sufficient logistical supplies, so I decided to follow the example of Tianzhu's expeditionary force and become self-sufficient in food and clothing." "Tuanzuo, do you want us to farm?" Long Wenwen was the most intelligent among all the people, so he could naturally tell what Cun Yunsheng meant. "Can you farm?" Cun Yunsheng asked. "Well, I know a little bit." Long Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and then said modestly. "Okay, I'll give you twenty acres of land later, and you can go farm." Cun Yunsheng joked. ah? Long Wenwen was completely confused. Is this really asking him to farm? "Okay, I'm kidding you, but the matter to be discussed next is indeed related to farming. That is my decision to allocate these landless lands to all the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army." Cun Yunsheng's words immediately caused an uproar. . "Tuanzuo, is this true?" Milong, who is from the Northeast, is naturally very concerned about the land and couldn't help but ask. You must know that this kind of land that crops three crops a year, as long as you work hard, people will not starve to death at all. It's just that the planting techniques of these indigenous people are not good, so the yield is not very high. But it’s also hard to starve to death. When other people heard about the division of land, they were naturally ready to take action. Chinese people still value land very much. Looking at everyone's eyes, Cun Yunsheng knew that his judgment was right. Using the trick of dividing fields can definitely build up morale and improve combat effectiveness. "Danza, these lands belong entirely to us." Kaname also stood up and asked. Others like Ma Yuan also wanted to stand up and ask, but considering that the relationship between the two parties was not that close, they just remained patient spectators. Because they knew that their relationship with Cun Yunsheng's army was still far behind. "No, these ownerless lands were leased by the Li Dynasty to the Sichuan Army, so the land assigned to you only has the right to use it and cannot be traded. Of course, as long as the Sichuan Army is still there, then these lands will always belong to you, and no one can It can't be taken away." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully. This was a solution he came up with after careful consideration. The first was to sign a lease treaty with the Li Dynasty, which was nothing more than leasing and using these lands to provide food supplies for the Sichuan Army. As for the lease period, it is the internationally used ninety-nine years. This is leased in the name of the Sichuan Legion.

Therefore, these ownerless lands belong to the Sichuan Army. In order to prevent anyone from trading privately, Cun Yunsheng emphasized that no trading was allowed. In other words, if they want to continue using these lands, they must continue to serve the Sichuan Army. Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up. Although it was impossible to trade, as long as the Sichuan Army was always there, then these lands were theirs. "Tuanzu, are you telling the truth?" Even Vet Hao, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but ask. "Veterinarian, from Zen to the present, which of the words I have said is false?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled. "Then let us divide the land? Doesn't each person have thousands of acres of land?" Milong couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have thousands of acres of land. As a result, Cun Yunsheng rolled his eyes. "I've given you so much land, are you able to plant it?" "Do you still have so many relatives in your family? If so, you can let them farm, but if they come to Hanoi, they can also be allocated some land." "After all, there are too many wastelands here." Only Meng Fanxiao knew very well, what kind of wasteland? Have you ever seen wasteland with a yield of several hundred kilograms per acre? What a joke. When asked this question, everyone looked at each other. Except for a few who had family members, most of them were alone and had no time to plant. "Those who have family members can give the allocated land to them for planting. Those who don't have family members, I also thought of a way, which is to set up a farm company to be responsible for planting the fields of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army. Every year, according to the income of the fields, Share the profits with everyone.” "Of course, if the land is decommissioned, the land will naturally have to be taken back, but a certain amount of compensation will be given." Cun Yunsheng explained in detail the method he came up with. It's nothing more than that as long as you become a soldier of the Sichuan Army, you can get an initial piece of land. This is an additional benefit in addition to military pay. To put it bluntly, it means serving as a soldier and immediately dividing the land. If there is a family member planting it, then let the family member plant it and pay for the grain payment. As long as the Sichuan Army exists, it can continue to be planted. The second type is that people like Milong and Li Wula who have no family members will hand over their fields to the farm company of the Sichuan Legion for planting. Just share a portion of the profits every year. If you retire and choose to let your family farm, then you can continue farming. The premise is that only someone who enlists in the army can enjoy the corresponding farmland. As for some fields with the difference, they will be compensated separately. This is a basic field, divided according to each person's military rank. The lowest private rank was two acres of land. According to the three crops a year, two acres of land can produce one or two thousand kilograms of grain a year. After paying part of the grain, the rest is enough to feed a family of three for a year.

Coupled with the military subsidy, it is enough for a family of three to live a comfortable life. For a lieutenant officer, it is ten to thirty acres. For school officials, it is from 40 to 60 acres. The difference between the highest and lowest is acceptable. And with so much land, they may not be able to plant it all. Therefore, according to Cun Yunsheng's idea, it is most likely to be handed over to the farm company to plant, and then receive an additional part of the dividends. Of course, they can also let family members and friends plant it together. As for how to divide it, that is their business. Cun Yunsheng's ultimate goal is to attract more people to settle. After all, so many natives were recruited, he would definitely have to add some. This move also has another purpose, that is, the family members are all here, and they are no longer rootless duckweeds. Apart from these, the rest is the division of military merit. This part belongs to Hounta and will not be directly assigned to the other party, but will be issued to the other party in the form of a farm voucher. To put it bluntly, this part of Hounta can get dividends from the farm every year. Sure enough, after the plan was announced, the conference room was buzzing with discussion. Everyone was excited and began to calculate how much land they could get. Cun Yunsheng, on the other hand, looked at everyone and kept thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of this plan. There are certainly advantages, and it will definitely attract a large number of people to serve as soldiers in a short period of time. Morale and combat effectiveness will be improved in a short time. Whether it is for basic land, or for the sake of land, etc., we will move forward bravely. But there are also disadvantages, that is, as the number of soldiers increases, the income must keep up. In other words, the cake must be made bigger. Otherwise, the income will become lower and lower, and it will definitely collapse. Fortunately, this problem will not occur in a short period of time. As for what the Sichuan Army will eventually become, he doesn't know. But he only knew that from now on, everyone would be tied to the Sichuan Army's chariot. Want to get off? I'm afraid no one will. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. "Tuanzuo, are we only dividing the land around Hanoi?" Milong asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. According to General Stilwell's order, the Sichuan Army will expand its army next, so the fields in Hanoi are not enough, so I will contact the other kingdoms and rent corresponding fields from them. I believe they will not I will refuse." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "Tuanzuo, can I understand that if you want to get more land, you have to fight bravely and perform meritorious service to get the land?" Bu La expressed his understanding. "Yes." "In addition, your relatives and friends can also come and be allocated some fields, but the corresponding taxes will be a little more than yours, but it is definitely several times better than being a tenant. The land here is one acre per year, and you can get it every year. Give birth to a thousand catties." Cun Yunsheng's words made everyone fall into silence again. This is not a boast, here there are three crops a year, and based on the minimum three to four hundred kilograms at a time, there are more than a thousand kilograms a year. This is many times better than being a tenant. And it’s only one draw out of ten. That's 10% of the rent. If the tenants knew about it, they would definitely come in droves. "Is this true?" Kaname also asked. "Of course, when have I ever deceived you?" Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. (End of chapter)
