Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "As long as there is enough profit, merchants are willing to pay taxes. If no one comes to develop the mine, we will develop it ourselves. The profit of mining is so large that no one will be moved. Well, to give a simple example, no one wants coarse salt now, but fine salt is in short supply, and green salt is a drop in the bucket. As long as we have the ability to tinker with both fine salt and green salt, we are not afraid that merchants will not flock to it."

Wang Mingyu nodded and said, "That's right. As long as there is a profit, how could a businessman not come?"

Liu Hang said steadily: "Yulin, Jingyan's business is still stable now. But if a war starts, the officers and soldiers block the Jimo, Jiaozhou, and Laiyang lines, Jingyan cannot be transported at all! Which salt owl has the ability to continue to do private salt business regardless of the influence of the battlefield?"

Zhang Zhun said confidently: "Don't we still have sea transportation? I don't believe it. No one else wants salt."

Wang Mingyu asked in confusion: "Yulin, are you really sure that even if a war starts, the Jingyan business will not be affected?"

Zhang Zhun said affirmatively: "Yes."

The four of them had no objection.

Zhang Zhun was silent for a moment and decided to throw out all his ideas. He said in an orderly manner: "In fact, our way to make money is mainly overseas. Shandong has experienced so many turmoils, and its market digestibility is limited. Everyone knows that the rich people in Shandong are mainly concentrated on both sides of the canal, on the front lines of Jining, Linqing, and Dezhou, which is too far from our Laizhou."

"Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for us to develop business channels on the road. However, the waterways are different. There are a large number of ports along the coast of Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture. The Liaodong front line is in the north, North Korea is in the east, Japan is in the south, Taiwan Island is in the south, and the vast Jiangnan region is in the southwest. A little further apart, there are Nanyang, Manila, Jakarta and other places. These places are the focus of our trade."

"Of course, it's a bit too early for us to talk about maritime trade now. We don't have that ability yet. However, everyone must have such ideas, such ideas, and such development ideas. Perhaps in the near future, some of you here will appear on the sea and take charge of the command. In the future, I will gradually explain the basic knowledge of the ocean to you."

After looking at the confused people, Zhang Zhun understood that they could not digest so much information for the time being, so he said, "Okay, these are things in the future, and there is no need to rush to implement them now. Let's continue to discuss the issue of land."

The four of them quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhun's ideas are really amazing, and their thinking can't keep up for the time being.

Next, the four began to discuss how to allocate land.

Liu Hang and Wang Mingyu both believe that each household has a population of between three and seven people, and it is a relatively appropriate number to divide 30 acres of land. The military households in Fushan City are divided according to three to seven people, and there are almost 1,000 households. It just so happens that all the 30 acres of land in Fushan, each household has 30 acres, which can basically ensure that every family can share the land.

If you think that thirty acres of land are not enough, you can work hard to reclaim land by yourself. The land obtained by reclaiming land belongs to the land reclamator. In fact, there is still a lot of land around Fushan District that can be reclaimed as arable land. For example, to the north of Zhaojiatun is a huge plain area, and there is no problem in reclaiming tens of thousands of acres of land.

In the past, even if the military households reclaimed land by themselves, the land they reclaimed would be taken away by officials, so everyone would be too lazy to reclaim land. However, if the announcement of guaranteeing the ownership of the land reclamation belongs to the land reclamator, it would definitely stimulate everyone to reclaim wasteland desperately. It is not impossible to increase tens of thousands of acres of land within one or two months.

The two also agreed that there should be clear regulations that the land must not be bought and sold, transferred, or abandoned. After the landlord dies, his descendants should give priority to the original land as inheritance. In the past, military households were robbed of land by officials or bought at a low price. The prohibition of land transfer can effectively avoid similar disadvantages.

Liu Hang also proposed that the household registration management system should be abolished and the different identities of military households, craftsmen, fishermen, music households, merchants, Yin-Yang households and other unique identities of the Ming Dynasty should be completely abolished. Everyone is equal, and you can do whatever industry you want to engage in. This measure may also be a small stimulation to merchants. After all, although today's merchants are very rich and have a wealthy life, their status has never been improved legitimately.

Hou Shanping proposed that after redistribution of land, we should vigorously build water conservancy, develop agricultural science and technology, and increase grain output. At the same time, more private schools should be opened to allow more children to go to school to recognize words. He is a scholar, so he naturally values ​​this the most. He also made suggestions that there should be clear regulations that farmers have excess grain and can only sell it to guards, not to outsiders without permission.

"Yulin, what do you think?"

Liu Hang finally asked Zhang Zhun for his opinion.

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "Everyone's suggestions are very good. I have an idea, which is not to allocate land according to the household unit. What I mean is to allocate according to the population. Regardless of men and women, as long as they are above three feet tall, each person will allocate five acres of land."

Hou Shanping hesitated and said, "In the past, they were allocated according to the number of households..."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "We should encourage population development and encourage more children and children. Don't you think our population is still a little less?"

Hou Shanping thought about it, but there was no objection.

Since we have decided to redistribute the land, it is no longer important to how to divide it. There is only a subtle difference between each family allocating 30 acres of land and each population allocating 5 acres of land. Relatively speaking, Zhang Zhun's suggestion is more fair and conducive to operation.

Wang Mingyu immediately proposed that if land is allocated according to the population, one more thing must be stipulated, that is, the land under each population's name cannot exceed fifty acres at most. This is also to prevent land annexation.

Liu Hang had no objection, but said cautiously: "Yu Lin, is the foreign population also implemented according to such standards?"

Zhang Zhun said readily: "No problem. We have enough wasteland for them to cultivate. As long as they are willing to come, we will set a piece of land for them to cultivate themselves. Anyway, there is no tax, so they can do whatever they want."

Before this, Zhang Zhun had actually calculated it carefully. There are almost 2,000 square kilometers of land around Qingdao, which is converted into acres, which is nearly 3 million mu. Except for Laoshan, most of them are plain areas. As long as there is enough manpower, it is definitely no problem to reclaim about 800,000 mu of land. Such a land area can support tens of thousands of people.

In fact, the current population of Fushan Institute is less than 10,000. It can be said that the space for maneuvering is very large, and it is no problem to receive tens of thousands of migrant populations. If he remembered correctly, after Kong Youde's torture, the population of Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture should be less than one million. During the Wanli period, the actual population of Shandong was said to exceed ten million. However, during the Tianqi and Chongzhen periods, Shandong had wars and the population must have decreased. At present, the actual population of Shandong is at most about seven or eight million.

Liu Hang said: "Why isn't it stipulated how old it is? More than three feet?"

Peng Feizai said: "It is easy to operate, it is clear at a glance, and there is no possibility of cheating."

Zhang Zhun nodded, agreeing with Peng Feizai's statement.

Age is hidden, and many military households are simply "black household registrations" that are not registered. Only people know how old they are, but based on their height, as long as they stand there, whether they are three feet tall, as long as they are not blind, they can tell. Generally speaking, children aged five or six are already three feet tall. Such a standard should be acceptable to everyone. If they are young, they are dolls.

Liu Hang is a person who loves to think about it. After thinking about it, he said: "Yulin, if you redistribute the land, it will not only be the Fushan City, Jimo County and Laizhou Prefecture, but also the fields in all parts of our Fushan are far away from Pingduzhou!"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Are you scared?"

Peng Feizai's blood was rising and he immediately said, "I'm afraid of a bird! If they dare to come, we dare to fight back! Ah, no! Even if they don't come, we will also go to find them!"

Liu Hang said calmly: "Yulin, relying on the current strength of the Yangjiatun Guards, it cannot stop the counterattack of Jimo County and Laizhou Prefecture, right? We don't know much about military affairs, so you can talk about this."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly: "That's right. This is the second issue we want to discuss. I am going to draw people from the guards of your towns and form the Fushan Sect Guards with the Yangjiatun Guards."

On this issue, none of the three had the right to speak, so the three of them listened quietly to Zhang Zhun's explanation. In fact, each village has successively formed its own guards, as if Liu Hang and Peng Feizai were the captains of each village's guards. However, they lacked professional training and sufficient weapons. The combat effectiveness of the guards is obviously not comparable to that of the Yangjiatun Guards.

"If you agree, I will take over the affairs of the Fushan Guards."

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice.

Of course, the three of them had no objection and agreed on the spot.

Subsequently, the five people reached an agreement on the formation of the guard team, personnel, command, training, and weapons sources. After the basic agreement was formed, all the remaining matters were left to Zhang Zhun for full authority, and there was no need to consult the opinions of the four people. In fact, in military terms, they could not make any good suggestions. Of course, in order to better cooperate with the guard team in their work, it is very necessary to hold an exchange meeting every month.

The number of guards is determined to be 400.
