"Kuanhe is the place of incarnation. Just organize people to reclaim wasteland and repair canals. Anyway, so many wastelands are placed here, and it is mine to reclaim them. With 20,000 elite soldiers in hand, no one dares to grind my teeth with me."

Liu Mingyu looked at Lu Xiangsheng and smiled bitterly, "But when I arrived at Baoding Prefecture, even if I organized the people to reclaim the wasteland, it would not take long to be taken away by those gentry who were more cruel than lees. What can I do? I can't lead troops to help the people get the fields back, right? In this way, I will offend all the gentry in Baoding Prefecture. How many brains do I have?"

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a while: "You only care about Kuanhe's actions. The sky falls, I'll help you with it!"

"You can't stand it, I will be the one who was crushed in the end!"

Lu Xiangsheng was silent again.

This is like when he just arrived at Daming Prefecture as the prefect of Daming Prefecture. At that time, he wanted to be a good official. After he put his ideals into practice, he realized how much resistance was: his decrees could not be implemented at all, and even Daming Prefecture could not be released. There were always so many people who stubbornly disobeyed him, intentionally or unintentionally dragged him down!

What's even more terrible is that he finally organized the people to reclaim some wasteland. Not long after, the gentry took the land deeds to the yamen and made a fuss. The people fought against the gentry, and the winners were always the gentry. They always had so much strong evidence and witnesses to prove that the reclaimed land belonged to them!

After being hit hard again and again, Lu Xiangsheng was a little depressed. Later, the bandits in Daming Mansion looted the village, and Lu Xiangsheng led the villagers to kill the bandits away. From then on, he realized the importance of military power.

Seeing that Liu Mingyu was doing such a good farming, he was determined to pull him to Baoding Mansion to help him, but Liu Mingyu said he would not do it, which made him so angry that he blew his beard and glared!

Naturally, Liu Mingjun would not follow Lu Xiangsheng to Baoding Prefecture.

How good is it to be in Kuanhe?

The current Kuanhe City is centered on it, and the textile, steel and wood industry industrial clusters have been formed, especially military residential houses, which have built more than 19,200 Type A apartments, more than 3,600 Type B apartments, and more than 900 Type C apartments. A total of nearly 24,000 military resettlement housing units have been built.

Now the resettlement of the Liu family soldiers is basically met, and the next thing to be built is to build private houses. As the current autumn harvest comes to an end, Liu Mingyu began to prepare to ban the collective canteen.

In order to maintain the enthusiasm of the people to work and to maintain the vitality of Kuanhe City, Liu Mingyu prepared to let Yang Xianxian jointly organize a group wedding with the families of officers.

Let the soldiers of the Liu family start their own families, have houses and furniture. At that time, the bedding factory will produce a batch of red bedding and pillows, so that the soldiers will be spared from worries.

The north of the Great Wall is his territory. Liu Mingyu is the master in Kuanhe. Why did he go to Baoding Mansion to be his grandson? He would only go when he is ill.

"How can we get the people to have a meal?"

"It's very simple. Military officers are not afraid of death, and civil servants do not love money!"

"Then you just say something practical!"

"How different are the current gentry of the Ming Dynasty from the aristocratic families in the pre-Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Mingyu smiled and said, "The Qin Party, Chu Party, Jin Party, Donglin Party, and eunuch Party among the court officials. Parties and parties fight each other and never ask whether they are right or wrong. If they oppose it, how can the people live? Master Lu knows that training an elite army is nothing more than enough food and salary, strict military discipline, and clear rewards. What is the difficulty in leading the people to live a good life? However, if the people in the world are rich, how can they highlight the dignity of the gentry?"

Lu Xiangsheng understood slightly: "What you mean..."

"How did the former Tang Dynasty deal with the aristocratic families?"

"Promote the imperial examinations and emphasize poor families."

Liu Mingyu chuckled and said, "Simply put, it is to recruit one faction to fight another, promote Kexing and value poor families. In fact, it did not start when the Tang Dynasty was Emperor Wen of Sui. However, was the Sui Dynasty successful? Instead, it did not mess up the Sui Dynasty's country. This matter was not urgent, and it could not lead the people directly. The people's strength was too weak!"

Lu Xiangsheng vaguely understood.

When Liu Ming met in Kuanhe, he first supported the soldiers. Now the Liu family army has become a force. They now have houses and food to eat, children can go to school for free, family members can treat them for free if they are sick, there is a free bathhouse for bathing, and there are clothes to wear.

When anyone or a group wants to be unfavorable to the Liu family army, these Liu family soldiers will definitely not agree.

Lu Xiangsheng was a civil servant and had a very keen reaction to the rise of warriors. Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were bleeding because of the melee of the feudal states and the warlords were in great power.

"To say a little further, why did Jiefu Public Law fail back then?"

"Sect Shen suddenly died..."

"It's not that, but he doesn't have his own team!"

Liu Mingyu sighed and said, "Ideals are too cheap. Without material support, ideals are useless. The country has been raising scholars for more than 200 years. Which young man does not follow the concept of self-cultivation and family and peace in the world? However, how many people have ruthlessly shattered their ideals?"

"What should I do? Please hand it over to me!"

Liu Mingyu said: "Then Lord Lu needs to bear the unjust, and many people do not understand it, and you will even be called a treacherous minister."

"Treacherous minister?"

Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "What a mere name is worth mentioning!"

"Then Lord Lu takes the lead, and the wealthy businessmen invest and organize the people to run a large farm. Otherwise, no matter how much land is reclaimed, they can only deliver food to those greedy bastards!"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little puzzled and said, "Organize the people to set up a large farm?"

"Yes, did Lord Lu not notice that I am building a big farm now?"

Liu Mingyu pointed to the surrounding fields and said, "No acre of 740,000 acres of land reclaimed from Kuanhe City is private, all of them belong to the Wu Lie Army. The people of the Wu Lie Army's military do not have to worry about seeds, oxen, farm tools, fertilizers, and they don't even have to worry about tax payments. As long as the crops are served, they can get enough rewards for their family to live a life of food and clothing!"

Of course, Liu Mingyu didn't say all these words, and Lu Xiangsheng needed to pay attention to them himself. There were no gentry in Kuanhe, and the people were relatively simple, either soldiers of the Liu family, or family members, or refugees without foundation.

These refugees and disaster victims will be scattered and placed, without a gentry class or clan class.

In the eight prefectures of Northern Zhili, there were countless gentry and powerful people. Even if the land was reclaimed by the Tianxiong Army, those gentry dared to stretch out their claws, either forcing them to take advantage of them. In short, it would take not much time for the Tianxiong Army to be divided up completely.

Liu Mingyu said helplessly: "The problem now is that the people are too weak. Even you, the patrol master, are too weak. You can't beat these local snakes. Organize the people to reclaim land and take over as much as you reclaim. Even if the lawsuit is beaten to the emperor, you will lose, because those bastards have a lot of backers in the court! Only by finding ways to attract more wealthy businessmen who are also in the court and let them beat those greedy bastards to protect the cultivated fields, otherwise it will be nonsense!"

Liu Mingyu made two preparations to deal with these evil wolves gentry. The first step was to tie the Liu family army together, and now it was done. The second step was to let Hong Niang lead the peasants to rebel, defeat the local tyrants, and divide the land.

Now, more than 300 core members including Hongniangzi and Li Hu have established Ping'anbao Independent Company separately. While receiving regular army training from the Liu family army, they receive ideological education. These more than 300 core members will be the spark of Liu Mingjun. As long as they dare to force Liu Mingyu, Liu Mingyu will disperse these sparks.

They asked them to shout the slogan "Beat the local tyrants and divide the land", as if they were like sparks, burning all the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng was still thinking about the gains and losses in it.

Liu Mingyu was not in a hurry either.

It is actually not easy to develop economically.

However, collective ownership is indeed convenient for big things. For example, Liu Mingyu can now concentrate everyone to solve the problem of food, concentrate 60,000 to 70,000 people to reclaim the land, about ten acres per capita, plus potatoes and sweet potatoes, which solves the problem of difficulty in eating.

The second is the housing issue. This issue started in early April until mid-August. In just over 120 days, nearly 24,000 military resettlement housing units were built.

For example, if a steel factory is run privately, how much does it cost? How many workers are needed? How to recruit workers?

With Liu Mingyu almost no intervention, the soldiers of the Liu family completed the project.

Because it is collective ownership, as long as Liu Ming encounters himself and does not take charge of corruption, the Liu family army can develop rapidly. Although problems may arise, it will form a virtuous cycle, discover problems and solve problems.

Liu Mingyu said: "Mr. Lu, I can tell you another trick, which is to let those gentry see investment channels that can gain more benefits than occupying the fields, so that they will lose interest in the fields!"

"What are your good plans?"

Liu Mingyu pointed to a lime factory in the distance and said, "Does Lord Lu know how much money can this lime factory make in more than 600 workers in a month?"

"How many?"

"More than 800 taels of silver, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year!"

"Ten thousand taels of silver?"

Lu Xiangsheng was a little unbelievable.

Landlords farm land, and one acre of land is not enough to produce one stone or seven or eight dollars, but landlords cannot force the tenant to death. At most, they can receive two or two dollars of rent per acre of land.

If, according to the normal year, each stone of grain can be sold for seven or eight cents of silver, then the landlord needs 80,000 to 90,000 mu of land to earn more than 10,000 taels of silver, and at least two or three thousand tenants.

This also depends on whether God rewards food or not. If a drought or flood disaster occurs, he will lose all his money. At most, the daughter and son of the tenant can be turned into servants of his own family.

"Just for Wang Yong's coal briquette processing factory, Lord Lu can ask Wang Yong how much money he can earn in a month. I guess he will not be less than 1,000 taels of silver every month now!"

Lu Xiangsheng was still a little troubled: "No one has ever done anything like building a factory, it is contrary to the ancestral system..."

For thousands of years, the Chinese have been working at sunrise and resting at sunset. It has been passed down from generation to generation. The small peasant economy has long penetrated into the souls of the Chinese people. It is indeed a bit embarrassing to let them set up factories.

"Besides, it's good to set up a factory, but who knows which factory makes money and which factory doesn't make money? If the factory is not profitable, the workers don't have enough food to eat, and they also abandon farming. Who can bear the responsibility?"

"You care about them, what kind of factory they run to make money, what kind of factory they run is not making money, and what they do after they figure it out themselves, what are you worried about? Just fish the kids, grab them a piece of land that has no farming value and let them build a factory, and then collect tax management fees and garbage disposal fees at the factory!"

Liu Mingyu didn't explain it thoroughly. Everyone in the future understands these things, but the problem is that understanding does not mean that you can do it. This requires capital and courage.

Any business has certain risks.

Liu Mingyu still wants to make a profit and never lose money. For example, finding a copper mine, digging out copper, then extracting the copper, and casting it into copper coins. This is a very profitable deal.

"Get good..."
