According to Yi Tianxing's idea, Eternal Coin should be promoted in the military first.
Soldiers guarding Xuanhuang Village should receive military pay and food every month. This is a natural thing. Before, they were fighting for their own survival, but now and even in the future, they have to start changing little by little.
Now is the era of the big pot. No one cares whether you have money or not.
But after all, everyone was not a transition from primitive society. They all had their own civilizations and knew the importance of money in this world. Without money, it is difficult to move forward. Even in the Eternal Continent, this is still the case. As long as currency appears, everyone will attach great importance to it.
It is absolutely easy to transition directly from a big pot to private ownership.
But now, Yi Tianxing has no plans to end this big pot situation immediately. The number of people in Xuanhuang Village is not too many, but not too few either. This transition cannot be rushed, but can only be slow, with people coming one step at a time.
Moreover, people's livelihood needs to be restored.
This is the most critical.
Only by restoring people's livelihood and achieving self-sufficiency can we promote the development and growth of the entire Xuanhuang Village.
"Mr. Huang, I plan to build Xuanhuang Village and start restoring people's livelihood at the same time." Yi Tianxing said.
"My Lord, where do you plan to start?" Huang Chengyan nodded. Restoring people's livelihood is obviously extremely important.
"Food is the first necessity of the people, and farming is the foundation. The most important thing now is to fill our stomachs. The supplies we get from the merchants won't last long. Although we can hunt and kill ferocious beasts, the ferocious beasts will eventually be killed. Sooner or later, all the ferocious beasts around here will be hunted down. By that time, if we still can't achieve self-sufficiency, everyone will starve to death."
"So, I plan to mobilize the villagers to start reclaiming wasteland, distributing grain seeds, and farming in the areas that have been cleared in the valley. The climate in the valley is mild, and there is plenty of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which can greatly shorten the time it takes for the crops to mature. As long as we get through the most difficult period at the beginning, we can enter a good cycle."
Yi Tianxing spoke.
"Farming has been the main way of survival for the descendants of Yan and Huang since ancient times. Living off the mountains and living off the sea is also a way of survival. However, sooner or later, the land will be depleted. Your Majesty's idea is indeed very good, and it coincides with mine. However, I think that even if farmland is reclaimed, it cannot be directly distributed to all villagers. First, we cannot give land to everyone. Second, once the land is distributed, it will be like leaving the current big pot meal, and people's hearts will be scattered. They will have other thoughts. This is not conducive to the construction of the village."
Huang Chengyan nodded and said after pondering for a moment.
"kindness!!"
Yi Tianxing looked at Huang Chengyan with approval. Being able to think of these things, he had a very clear understanding of the current situation of Xuanhuang Village.
“So I plan to cultivate the land first, and then divide the land after the transition is completed. After everyone becomes a cultivator, it is not just farming that can lead to a good life. Practicing a hundred arts, each of which can become a resource for one’s own practice. Some people will choose farming, but at that time, what they plant may no longer be ordinary grains, but spiritual grains and plants.” Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
In an era of universal spiritual practice, you cannot expect everyone to farm and choose to continue farming.
After practicing, you can definitely take other paths and choose other skills.
You can refine talismans, you can refine magic tools and treasures. You can forge magic weapons. You can make all kinds of magical small items. You can fold paper, you can make elixirs. You can practice a hundred arts. As long as you are willing to learn, you will definitely not starve to death.
However, the current issue is to solve the livelihood problem.
"The idea of cultivating farmland should be feasible. I have seen it before. There is a piece of vacant land not far from the river. It is close to the water source and surrounded by barren land without trees. It can be cultivated. As long as you are willing, hundreds of acres of good land can be easily cultivated. The most important thing is to be able to defend against the attacks of ferocious beasts and birds. Otherwise, the beasts will destroy the crops before they are ripe."
This is the first problem that military farming needs to face.
Xuanhuang Village did not completely control the entire valley.
It only controls a small area nearby, which is just the outermost part of the valley.
No matter what, it’s still a question of strength.
"Once we start farming, I plan to send troops to guard the fertile fields that have been reclaimed. Even if ferocious beasts come, it will give those soldiers a chance to train and see blood."
"Besides, I plan to expand the army again and recruit soldiers."
"The population of Xuanhuang Village has increased greatly. There are a large number of young and strong people. Moreover, they have begun to practice and become monks. They can join the army and become soldiers. On the one hand, it can increase the strength of the village, and on the other hand, it can alleviate the possible conflicts in the village. Make the most of manpower. What we need now is, first, to restore people's livelihood, and second, to enhance the strength of the entire village. The army is our external strength."
Yi Tianxing spoke.
The population in the village has increased, and there is no close relationship between them. It is okay for a short time, but once it lasts for a long time, various conflicts may arise. Not other problems, but personality problems alone may cause a lot of trouble. Now recruiting them into the army can solve this problem from the root.
Not long after, after discussing with Huang Chengyan.
Not long after, in a conspicuous location in the village, in front of a specially built bulletin board.
Two notices were posted directly on it.
After the notice was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of many villagers.
One by one, they walked up to watch curiously.
"An order to open up wasteland and cultivate land!!"
"Recruitment Order!!"
Immediately, someone who could read began to read it out loud.
Afterwards, the entire village was in an uproar and was completely boiling.
"The village chief wants to open up wasteland and cultivate land to plant crops and resume production. That's great. I, Old Li, am an expert in farming. I've been outside to see that the land here is very fertile. Any piece of land is top-quality land. There will definitely be no problem planting crops. The yield may even increase significantly."
"I've said it before, eating beast meat all the time is not a good idea. The beasts will become fewer sooner or later, and even if they don't, we still need to have normal rice. If the village chief wants to start farming, I will definitely support him. We can't fall behind. If we grow food, no one will go hungry."
"I also want to participate in the reclamation and farming. Now that I have become a monk, I may not have anything else, but I have this strength."
Many people who were originally farmers immediately grinned when they saw the land reclamation and cultivation. This was their old profession, and everyone was quite good at it. Moreover, this was to fill everyone's stomachs and grow food, which was not ambiguous at all.
Many people have been itching to try it out for a long time.
Even if they want to become monks, many farmers believe that farming is the job they want to do.
"It says in the recruitment order that as long as you join the army, you can practice military skills and combat techniques, and you can also get military pay. Ordinary soldiers will get three eternal coins per month. But what is eternal currency? Is it a new currency minted by our Xuanhuang Village? I heard before that the village is already preparing to mint and issue currency."
When someone saw the word "military pay" on it, the word "eternal coin" was instantly imprinted in their minds.
This is a huge discovery. If it is true, there will be great development in the village.
"I want to join the army. The village chief is not an emperor like those dynasties. He attaches great importance to soldiers and has established a military cabinet. I don't have to be controlled or persecuted by others. Besides, only the army can protect the entire village from external invasion and resist ferocious beasts. The military skills can be practiced very quickly."
"I only have this much strength. It was the village chief who saved us. Now the village chief wants to recruit soldiers. I, Da Gou, will definitely join the army, become a soldier, serve the village chief, and protect Xuanhuang Village."
"I also want to join the army. I have long yearned for the scene of soldiers fighting ferocious beasts. I don't have any other skills or expertise. Only by becoming a soldier can I better protect the village and repay the village chief."
Seeing the recruitment order, many young and strong people in the village showed excitement.
Witnessing the soldiers in the village fighting against ferocious beasts and foreign enemies time and time again, the passion in the hearts of many young people has long been aroused. Especially after becoming monks, many people yearn to join the army and protect the villagers.
Many people want to join the army and become more powerful.
Now that the recruitment order has appeared, many people immediately made up their minds.
Not long.
Yang Yanping set up a table and began to recruit soldiers and record them in front of the barracks. Jia Yucun also started to register with the people from the Tianji Hall. After these people entered the barracks, they were registered as soldiers. This required leaving a record in the Tianji Hall.
There are a lot of people joining the army, but as long as they meet the requirements, everyone will be accepted.
Some people have already led a large number of farmers to the wasteland to start reclaiming the land.
Those who have awakened the water control ability also followed, and after reclaiming a piece of land, they immediately used the water control ability to control the river water, making it appear above the land, turning it into rain to moisten the soil and make it easier to sow.
Make the land more fertile and full of vitality.
Near the land reclamation workers, Yang Yanding also led a group of soldiers to patrol everywhere to prevent any ferocious beasts from suddenly rushing out and hurting the people who were reclaiming the land.
Everything went smoothly.
They were busy, working on the land and chatting, laughing and talking, with hope on their faces.
With land, people's hearts will be at peace.
Their recognition of Xuanhuang Village became stronger. They already considered themselves as members of Xuanhuang Village from the bottom of their hearts.
"Butler Cao, is the lord here?" Hu Bin from Tiangong Pavilion came to the mansion and asked after seeing Cao Zhengchun.
I have no contempt for Cao Zhengchun.
Even though many people knew that Cao Zhengchun was a eunuch, no one dared to look down on him.
