Chapter 425 Land Policy

Especially for Qishi, when the army was marching, they encountered a mountain blocking the way and had to go around the mountain, which added half a month to the march.

She directly used her magic power, and her words became magic. After saying two sentences, the two hills under her feet automatically moved away.

The body of the last mountain was connected to the main mountain. Qishi directly summoned his own magical weapon, the Huatian Ji, and struck the mountain with all his strength. The mountain road that blocked the army's advance was easily split in half.

Later, they encountered a steep cliff with a rushing river below. Qishi simply split off a mountaintop, shaving it into stone slabs to pave the road. Her miracle quickly spread, and she became the most revered female general besides Qiuqiu.

This period was characterized by the slavery system. Even among the aristocratic class, apart from their wives, they did not have many concubines from good families. They favored female slaves, and the children born to slaves had only a slightly higher status than the slaves themselves.

Most slaves became civilians, so the promotion of the monogamy policy was relatively smooth. Children other than those born to wives had no inheritance rights. They had the right to be raised by their biological father before the age of thirteen, but had no obligation to support their father. They only needed to provide for his basic living needs after he turned fifty and was unable to take care of himself.

In other words, if a man has a child born to a woman other than his wife, he not only needs to raise the child until the age of thirteen, but also because the child is not born out of wedlock, the children do not have to support their father. When the father loses the ability to survive, he only needs to provide the most basic living supplies!

This guaranteed the rights and interests of wives and their children to a certain extent. It also stipulated that only daughters had the right to inherit, whether it was family property or titles, which raised the status of women to the same level as men.

Under the brainwashing of this propaganda, Zhu Youqian, the largest landlord in Lihua Town, has only one daughter. If he were to marry a son-in-law, there would be almost no outstanding sons-in-law.

Later, she married the youngest son of another large landowner in the town.

Zhu Youqian gave his daughter a dowry according to the formal rules, except that he gave her an extra yard. However, he agreed that the second child born to his daughter, regardless of gender, would belong to the Zhu family, take the Zhu surname, and be raised by Zhu Youqian to inherit the Zhu family in the future.

If there is no second child, all the Zhu family's property will belong to the daughter. The daughter is the daughter-in-law of her husband's family, and the daughter and son-in-law must also provide for the Zhu family's two elders in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.

This agreement was drafted by the propagandist and witnessed and backed up by the county government.

Moreover, this county belongs to Qincheng, and the mayor of Qincheng, Zhu Qin, is a woman, so in this jurisdiction, the status of women is comparable to that of sons.

Besides, Confucianism here is still in its infancy. Although the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority has been formed due to the size of labor force output, it is not deeply rooted in the minds of ordinary people.

Now that the empress Qiuqiu has suddenly appeared in the world, the impact on this kind of thinking is particularly huge.

There are fewer women than men, so women are more precious. Women who are divorced or abandoned will not have trouble remarrying, and there is no strict concept of chastity.

The phenomenon of parents' orders and matchmaker's words does exist in marriage, but a marriage will only be real and valid if it is agreed upon by both parties.

This personal responsibility propaganda had a far greater effect than expected. Three months later, based on the land surveyed by the propagandists, each person was given one mu of free private land. This land was not subject to any annual tax. The private land was redistributed annually based on the increase or decrease in population.

However, most of the land distributed now is ownerless wasteland and barren hills. Although one acre of land is not large, if it is cultivated carefully and there is no tax, it can easily feed half an adult.

The land purchase policy has been changed accordingly. Land can be bought and sold, but there is a time limit, and the right to use it can only be purchased for a hundred years. Since burial sites are all arranged in mountains and forests, sacrificial fields have not been lost in large numbers.

Each clan school or county school is equipped with a certain proportion of experimental fields, which must be cultivated by teachers and students themselves, and no taxes are levied on them.

When there should have been a hundred schools of thought contending, there was a pioneer like Qiuqiu who secretly guided and pushed forward the cause. Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Confucianism, medicine, Yin-Yang school, and the school of diplomacy all stepped onto the stage of history. Every powerful person in every field left a significant mark.

The skills learned by ordinary people are more practical, and the outstanding ones are absorbed by various factories and workshops.

All thirteen main cities have built libraries, divided into areas, and separated into two types of books: local characters and common standard characters. With the historical reference of Blue Star, the new books on the shelves of the libraries are more forward-looking, and the books written by local scholars are more in line with the local national conditions and people's sentiments.

After intense discussions and debates, the two sides came up with unified provisions and policies and began to implement them.

Land reform continued. After another half a year, the situation on all sides stabilized, the newly built factory buildings were put into use, and created certain benefits.

Qiuqiu directly exchanged half of his ten-year shares in the factory for a large amount of arable land owned by large landowners and nobles.

Let the exploitation of the ruling class turn from the lowest slaves and peasants to economic differentiation.

At the beginning, only a small number of nobles were willing to change. Until two months later, those nobles who gave up a small amount of land in exchange for shares not only counted the money until their hands were tired, but also put new colorful candies in their shops, greatly increasing their financial income.

At this time, if you want to exchange barren land for dry shares, you can't just exchange the land wherever you want. Instead, you have to specify the specific location and area of ​​the land to be exchanged.

It really is one step behind, and then we fall behind step by step.

These lands are to be distributed to returning soldiers. The lands exchanged are either important military towns or dangerous places, transportation hubs, all of which are places where troops need to be stationed for a long time.

If you want to hide soldiers and civilians, farmers must have land and bring their parents, wives, and children to settle down in the army. The most basic living security must be met.

In one year, the entire country entered a stage of rapid development, and the army of 10,000 people quickly expanded to 130,000 people.

After the war, when the decree had not yet been fully implemented, each member of the original 10,000-man army was retested with the Xuanxi Palace's Spirit Testing Disk, and the new training methods were directly mapped and sealed in the soldiers' sea of ​​consciousness.

The traitors and Murong Huang were beheaded together for public display. For those who were guilty of serious crimes and had no remorse, Qiuqiu tailored a dream for each of them, allowing them to experience over and over again the feeling of innocent people being killed and tortured.

After all, they have made many contributions while fighting with Xu's army, so they should be given a chance to reform.

Only one of them persisted for seven days, broke away from the illusion, and woke up completely. He was assigned to the suicide squad to save his life in the future.

The few remaining sinners were tortured by the hallucinations for five days and finally committed suicide in a trance.

Those with lighter sins, after experiencing several illusions, all showed remorse. After breaking through the test of their state of mind, they all made considerable progress and voluntarily joined the death squad to contribute to the Xu family army.
