From Soldier To Emperor

Richard directly took out the military rank system for later generations. Soldiers started as private soldiers. Each private soldier can get 5 acres of military merit field. This military merit field cannot be transferred or sold. Only immediate family members can inherit it, and only need to pay 10% of the rent!

Only 10% of the rent. You must know that in the Western Regions, the Han tenants have to pay 50% of the rent. The Semu tenants are even more miserable, starting with 70% to 80% of the rent!

This 10% rent is definitely a work of conscience in the eyes of civilians. The most important thing is that in addition to rent, the military field does not need to pay any land tax!

In addition, soldiers do not have to pay poll tax, and soldiers’ family members only need to pay half of the poll tax.

This is also a policy that encourages soldiers to get married and have more children.

Because now the poll tax is the bulk of government taxation, and there is no farm tax on the land attached to the gentry class of Han people, it is impossible for Richard to exempt the poll tax. Otherwise, it won’t take long for Richard’s government’s finances to even pay officials’ salaries. Can't afford to send...

A private soldier is actually an excessive military rank. After joining the army for more than a year or participating in a battle, once on the front line, you can become a regular soldier.

After becoming a regular soldier, the military field can be expanded into ten acres of land!

By analogy, above the main soldiers are corporal, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant chief, warrant officer, ensign, lieutenant, captain, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, colonel, brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, general, general, One-star marshal, two-star marshal, three-star marshal, four-star marshal, five-star marshal...

This military rank has a certain relationship with the position, but the main difference is the difference in the military merit field. Each additional rank increases the area of ​​the military merit field by ten acres!

Zhengbing is 10 acres of military field, corporal is 20 acres of military field, sergeant is 30 acres of military field, sergeant is 40 acres of military field, sergeant is 50 acres of military field, and so on.

In fact, the ranks of the sergeant chief are all ranks prepared for soldiers to give soldiers a space for promotion and an incentive to expand their military merits.

Only when he reaches the warrant officer is he qualified to serve as the captain.

The sergeant can only do very long.

However, the highest military rank announced by Richard was only up to the colonel. The rank of the general has not been released. The ranks below the colonel are sufficient to establish the position of the first field army officer of more than 10,000 people.

After the seemingly insignificant military rank was linked to the military field, it was immediately valued by the officers and soldiers.

The military service field is the military salary that Richard gave to the soldiers. From then on, Richard was only responsible for the soldiers' food, drink, and weapons. They didn't need to receive the military salary. Of course, the excellent performance on the battlefield received additional rewards. .

In this way, Richard used a lot of land to successfully alleviate the heavy pressure on military expenditures in the future!

This system is similar to the Yongye Tianfu Bing system of Datang, except that the military rank system has become more refined.

In addition, in order to prevent the soldiers who obtained the military merit field from being deceived, Richard let the soldiers in the First Field Corps choose fertile land as the military merit field in descending order of military rank!

The initial rank of the soldiers of the First Field Regiment is the upright soldier. Who would call them the strongest combat effectiveness?

Therefore, the soldiers of the First Field Regiment became the lucky ones who were the first to select the military field.

Under Richard's strong intervention, the soldiers' selection of military merit fields was not hindered in any way. Most of the fields selected by the soldiers of the First Field Regiment were originally copied from the Zhaowu family.

Under the reform of granting land with military merit, Richard did not touch the cake of the Han gentry class, so he did not encounter resistance from the Han gentry class.

However, Richard's act of granting land to soldiers on a large scale has aroused the vigilance of the Han gentry in the two provinces. Today, Richard’s first field army has only more than 10,000 people. The unlucky gentry’s land and the original official land have been confiscated. And the land of no owner can be satisfied.

However, if this system is set down, if Richard wants to continue to expand his field troops in the future, where will he get his military exploits?

Although Richard is likely to acquire a large area of ​​land during the foreign war, in the Western Regions, the official land and the unowned land are small in number, and the large arable land is in the hands of the gentry class of the Han people!

Everyone still knows the truth about the coldness of the lips and teeth...

Nowadays, Richard has used his land property to win over the military spirit of the officers and soldiers of the First Field Corps. The people at the bottom of this era all have the idea of ​​treating farmland as the foundation of the family, just like Richard's previous 21st century civilized society, where everyone values ​​real estate.

Soldiers are of course very welcome to the policy of granting military merit. Although 5 mu and 10 mu of land are not much, they can give them priority to choose the best acres, and in the future they can get more acres through promotion, even if they don’t. When an officer is promoted to a sergeant without a threshold, that is also 50 acres of land!

With 50 acres of arable land, they are wealthy households in this era. If it is good arable land, it is enough to be a small landlord!

You must know that the advancement of the rank before the sergeant chief does not involve the issue of officer positions. As long as you dare to fight and follow the military order~www.wuxiahere.com~, promotion is relatively easy, as long as you fight enough battles and survive, Basically, veterans can become sergeants!

Of course, there is no reason why the officers and soldiers should not support Richard's military merit granting system, let alone the 10% rent!

In this era, there is not much difference between 10% rent and free delivery...

There is a sense of superiority only when there is contrast!

This is just a military field for soldiers. However, there is no family planning policy in this era. It is normal for a Han family to have a few brothers serving as soldiers together. In other words, a family only needs two male soldiers to serve as soldiers. Get double the military power field!

The rent is low, don’t worry about buying and selling, you can also give priority to...

However, for soldiers, as long as the family members are not dead, it is not a problem to hand over the land to the family for farming, but for officers, the area of ​​this military field can easily be tens or hundreds of acres, and tenant households need to farm.

If the tenants farm, they have to divide some profits...

Therefore, after Richard released his military merits to grant land, on the one hand it was to solve the problem of the army officers’ military merits being too large and hiring people to farm, on the other hand, to gain the support of the Han gentry class, he promulgated a policy of pretending to be serfs. !

Richard died the last layer of window paper in the original government office and demoted all tenant households of Semu to serfs!

If you want to be an improper serf, you must have a male to be an amateur mercenary who cleans up the greenskins!

All those who do not have any male soldiers in the family are relegated to serfs!

In addition, the government will also allocate hair-colored serfs to the soldiers who have more than 50 acres of land, and the soldiers who are scarce in their families, and who are not enough to take care of the fields!

The beneficiaries of this policy are not only the Han Chinese officers and soldiers who have awarded land for military service. The biggest beneficiaries are the Han gentry class!
