Chapter 275: Only this much?
“Um, um, Commander…” At this time, Milong, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and stammered, wanting to say something.

Looking at the expression on Milong's face, Cun Yunsheng was stunned, and then asked in confusion.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you dithering? If someone doesn't know, they would think you are going to pull your pants pocket."

Sure enough, this sentence caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Go away, go away. What are you laughing at, you bastards? Believe it or not, I will kill you." Milong, who was furious, turned around and cursed at the other members of the cannon fodder group.

"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly and don't waste my time." Cun Yunsheng said unhappily.

"Commander, if he gets married, can you give him two more acres of land? Otherwise it's too little." Milong scratched his head and suggested.

Dual-income treatment?
This word popped up in Cun Yunsheng's mind.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was silent for a while and began to think about whether to distribute land to the military families.

Generally speaking, there are naturally many benefits to allocating land to military families.

It can also boost the morale of the troops.

Seeing Cun Yunsheng fall into silence, Milong felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, he is now a captain and should be able to get at least 30 acres of land, which is already a lot.

Considering the monthly military salary, it’s already pretty good.

But it would be even better if military dependents could also get some land.

After a long time, Cun Yunsheng looked at Milong deeply and then asked.

"Are you married?"

Logically speaking, if Milong got married, he would definitely report to me.

Even if it wasn't reported, the other members of the cannon fodder group should have known about it.

But looking at their expressions, they all looked confused, which meant they didn't know either.

“No…” When asked this, Milong showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"But someone introduced me to a partner."

Just as Cun Yunsheng was about to say something, he heard Milong add this sentence.

The other members of the cannon fodder group couldn't help but open their mouths. Does this guy really want to get married?
No wonder he said that.

"Oh? Who introduced him to you?" Cun Yunsheng asked doubtfully.

"Mr. An, he said that there is a widow in their An family who has a two-year-old son and their life is a bit difficult. I got to know her some time ago and found her to be pretty good." Milong scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's eyes flashed a gleam, as if he guessed what the An family meant.

That is to move completely closer to the Sichuan Army.

Introducing a wife to Milong was a test.

Let’s see what Cun Yunsheng’s attitude is.

"Oh, Milong is going to be a father." Bu La's mouth is also very sharp. Although he is timid, he will still confront directly when it is necessary.

"You bastard, wait until it's over and see how I'll deal with you." Although Milong said this, it can be seen from the corner of his mouth that the other party is still very happy.

Cun Yunsheng waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, saying that the An family's approach was a gesture of goodwill.

He has to accept it.

Because the An family is the representative of those major Chinese families.

If he rejects the other party's goodwill, the two sides will definitely become alienated.

But he didn't expect that this time he would use Milong to test the waters.

And how did the An family figure out Milong’s unique hobby?
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

"Marrying a wife is a good thing. The ancients often said that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants."

As soon as Cun Yunsheng finished speaking, Milong showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Commander, you're not angry?"

"Angry? Why should I be angry?" Cun Yunsheng looked confused, and then pretended to be enlightened.

"Well, you should be angry. You didn't report to me until now."

Milong was stunned at first, then a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Commander, I'm just afraid that you won't agree. After all, we are still at war." Milong said somewhat embarrassedly.

"What's wrong with war? You won't get married because of war? You still have to get married and have children." Cun Yunsheng is not that old-fashioned. He doesn't think you should not get married because of war.

"But you reminded me that as military dependents, I can naturally participate in the land distribution. I will list the specific amount in detail."

It seems that just dividing the land is not enough, they also have to be given wives.

The matter of settling down in the family did serve as a reminder to him.

But these are things to be considered later. For now, we should distribute the land as quickly as possible.

Let more and more people know that as long as they follow the Sichuan Army, they will have land. I believe that soon all the difficulties he faces will be solved.

Next, we will discuss some battle plans, mainly adjusting everyone's arrangements.

Long Wenjian does not need to make any adjustments for the time being. He still needs to be responsible for Yangon and suppress those indigenous people who are deliberately rebelling.

As for Lin Yi, he was transferred to Hanoi, and the three supplementary regiments he trained were also transferred to Hanoi because they were important members of the subsequent reorganization plan.

Myitkyina was handed over to Duan Anguo, the second of the three Duan brothers.

He was responsible for garrisoning Myitkyina and continuing to train the supplementary regiment.

Li Ula, Bula, Yao Ma and Ma Dazhi were stationed in Siam and Cambodia respectively.

Bangkok is still garrisoned by Duan Zhenguo.

Duan Liguo was responsible for road construction and other work.

As for He Shuguang, Zhang Lixian, and Yu Zhi, they were respectively responsible for recruiting soldiers in Annan and suppressing indigenous rebellions.

The only officers that Cun Yunsheng could mobilize were Xing Jiuhong, Cui Yong, Dong Dao, Dong Jian and Kang Ya.

As well as Krupp and Zhao He et al.

The military qualities of these people vary greatly.

There are still too few generals who can truly stand on their own.

However, Cun Yunsheng believed that once the news of land division spread, they would definitely help him solve this problem.

So Cun Yunsheng’s next focus is to divide the land.

…………

"Song Ergou, second-class soldier, was given two acres of land."

The land was divided very quickly, and the first to arrive were the reinforcements that arrived in Hanoi.

In order to appease their hearts, the land distribution started with them.

The replacement regiment consisted of only a small number of veterans and officers from the miscellaneous armies who could not make it in the north.

The amount of land allocated to this part is not much.

But as your military rank increases, the land you own will also increase.

There are three classes of soldiers: private first class, private first class, and corporal.

The land that can be obtained is two acres, three acres, or four acres.

There are three ranks of non-commissioned officers: corporal, sergeant, and major.

The available land plots are five, six, or eight acres.

Among them, non-commissioned officers and soldiers who have wives will be given double the land.

In other words, a non-commissioned officer could get a maximum of 16 acres of land.

The lowest rank, a private, could get four acres.

In addition, for each additional child born, an additional five acres of land will be rewarded.

In this case, a family of three would have at least nine mu of land. Based on the yield of three crops a year, the annual yield of nine mu of land would not be less than 10,000 kilograms of grain.

Of course, this is the amount of food that can be obtained in theory.

In reality there will definitely be discrepancies. After all, it is too tiring for one person to cultivate nine acres of land.

So they can employ those natives.

As for the hired indigenous people, Cun Yunsheng is still discussing how to subdivide them.

After all, if this operation is not done well, it will cause quite a bit of unrest.

Even so, the morale of the soldiers who learned about the land distribution was high.

Such as in front of me.

The officer in charge of registration handed a land registration book to Song Goudan in front of him.

"Here you go. If no one farms for you, you can use this to collect dividends this time next year. If someone farms for you, you don't need to register there."

As he spoke, the officer in charge of registration pointed to the Sichuan Army Farm Company not far away.

Considering that many soldiers are single, it is unrealistic to ask them to farm.

So Cun Yunsheng was very considerate and asked Milong to open the farm company next to the registration office.

As for the Sichuan Army’s farm, Milong was in charge and all the indigenous people were recruited to cultivate the crops.

After all, there are also natives who are extremely docile.

"Yes, sir." Song Goudan held the land registration book carefully, treating it as a treasure.

Unexpectedly, he, who had been a tenant farmer for generations, would one day get his own land.

Although the land belonged to the Sichuan Army, the right to use it belonged to him.

Moreover, the tax was very low, only 50 kilograms of grain for every 1,000 kilograms.

It's basically giving it to him for free.

"Sir, can I ask where I can write a letter home?" Song Goudan made preparations immediately and made sure to invite his parents, brothers and sisters to come here, as there were eight people in their family.

According to the policy announced by the Sichuan Army, their family could get at least 15 acres of land.

These are all top-quality rice fields.

Moreover, next month his military rank will be promoted from private first class, and he will be able to gain another acre of land.

If you can marry a wife and have a child, that would be nine acres of land.

Thinking of this, Song Goudan felt a burning warmth in his heart and he wished he could have his parents and brothers come over right now.

"It's also over there. After you write it, someone will help you mail it. But if it's too far, it may not be delivered for a while. You have to be mentally prepared." The officer in charge of registration said with a smile.

"It's okay, my home is not far away." Song Goudan said quickly.

"Next one is Qiao Da Ge, second lieutenant, and he will be allocated ten acres of land." The officer in charge of registration read out the name and asked puzzledly while looking at the honest Qiao Da Ge in front of him.

"How did you come up with that name?"

Normally, to become an officer, one must have some cultural background. What kind of name is this?
"Sir, my name used to be Qiao Ergou. Later, after I attended a literacy class, I changed my name to this one because these characters are easier to write." Big Qiao scratched his head.

Originally he was just a private, but later he won second-class merit during the suppression of an indigenous rebellion. Then, after completing a literacy class and attending a month of classes in the teaching team, he was promoted to second lieutenant platoon leader.

It can be said that this big guy Qiao is a banner of the supplementary group.

Many soldiers believed that as long as they worked hard to kill the enemy, learn to read and study, they could become officers.

"Wow, ten acres."

"That's a lot. We can have at least tens of thousands of kilograms of food a year. This is enough to feed several children."

"I also want to have ten acres."

As for the envy of the crowd, Qiao Da Ge pretended not to hear it, which made him lucky.

If it weren't for the indigenous rebellion and his great contributions, I probably wouldn't be where I am today.

"In addition, if you have been awarded second-class merit once, you will be granted 20 acres of meritorious land. This is the certificate. You can collect dividends every year with the certificate." The officer in charge of registration picked up another certificate.

To be honest, he himself was a little envious, as he was promoted and got the medal of honor.

According to some people's predictions, the annual income from one acre of land is at least ten dollars, after all, the grain output here is still very high.

Twenty acres of meritorious land, several hundred dollars a year.

As long as you are alive, you can keep taking it.

Do not!
Even if it is sacrificed, this part of the income will be inherited by their children until they reach adulthood.

To put it bluntly, the Sichuan Army solved all their worries.

What they have to do is to fight bravely and defend this foundation.

As expected, when Qiao Da Ge heard that he had won second-class merit and was awarded with honor fields, he was immediately excited.

Although he didn't know how much he could get, he knew it was definitely a considerable sum.

Include your own military pay.

It is definitely a considerable amount of money in one year.

For a moment, Qiao Da Ge also thought about bringing his family over.

And the relatives in the village.

Lots of money!

Come quickly!

This is a letter written by Qiao Dage himself.

"Guo Da, lieutenant, was allocated 20 acres of land, and was awarded third-class merit once, which resulted in 10 acres of land. He was awarded second-class merit once, which resulted in 20 acres of land, a total of 50 acres." The officer in charge of registration read out loudly.

According to Cun Yunsheng's request, military merits should also be divided into land, so they were also read out.

Of course, we would also emphasize to the soldiers that the land awarded for military merit would be honorary land.

This part of the land will be cultivated by the farm as a whole, and dividends are tentatively scheduled to be distributed once a year. If the returns are high, it may be every half a year. The details are still under discussion.

"Next……"

"Next……"

Every member of the Sichuan Army was allocated a different amount of land. For more than 20,000 people, if the minimum allocation was two acres, a total of 100,000 acres would be allocated. After reading this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help swallowing.

"They actually divided up more than 100,000 acres?"

"Yes, Commander."

Lin Yi, who had just been transferred to Hanoi, said expressionlessly.

According to Cun Yunsheng's request, he was responsible for dividing the land.

After the data was compiled, he went straight to Cun Yunsheng and handed it to him.

His arrival made Meng Fan feel a lot more relaxed.

If he doesn't come, then all these tasks will definitely be handed over to him.

"Seventeen thousand acres?" Cun Yunsheng confirmed again.

"Please rest assured, there is absolutely no problem. There is detailed data at the back and you can check it out." Lin Yi thought Cun Yunsheng was worried that someone would drink the blood of the soldiers, so he explained immediately.

"No, I believe no one dares to suck the blood of soldiers under my nose. After all, the salary I give you is already not low. Considering all these, it is definitely very high." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"You know, I prepared millions of acres, and I only got this much?"

You have to know that there are millions of hectares of land in Hanoi, and one million acres is only more than 60,000 hectares, so that's how much it is divided into.

It was a little different from what he expected.

"Then improve their treatment?" Lin Yi asked hesitantly.

"No, this is very reasonable at the moment. Didn't the Fourth War Zone send a group of hungry people? Tell them that they can also participate in the land distribution. The tax will be a little higher, 20% of ten." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
