Chapter 77 2.35 New Adventure
Loki's purpose is to make these Slavic slaves turn Fog Duck Town into their new home as much as possible.
To this end, he took several measures.
1. The entire town is almost entirely Slavic. This is similar to the ethnic autonomous region of the previous life. The Red Kingdom took fifty years to prove that this path of assimilating foreign races is feasible.
As long as they are given a better life, they have no reason to rebel.
2. Give them permanent land and property.
In the Middle Ages, land and housing belonged to the lords. Poor peasants could only rent the lords' land and houses and were exploited by the lords for generations. This led to the tragic situation of big lords exploiting small lords and small lords exploiting serfs.
There is no doubt that this is what Loki wants to change. After the promulgation of this decree, the hardworking people will undoubtedly be the first to own their own land and property. In time, they will become the first landlords, merchants, or free farmers.
And the Vikings can also take a big step from slave society to feudal society.
Loki knew that the brains of these Slavic slaves could not digest so many advanced ideas from thousands of years ago in a short time, but it didn't matter. He had already asked Sangji to carve these laws that did not belong to this era on wooden tablets and set them up at the gate of Black Stone Castle.
The Slavic slaves hesitantly walked forward to study carefully, and those who understood carefully recommended them to those who did not understand. After a morning, all the slaves rushed into the gate of the production team and asked to become workers.
And at this moment, Loki issued the next executive order.
If the three insurances and one housing fund only ignited the enthusiasm of the slaves. This one completely turned them into Loki's believers.
This executive order is called: Household Contract Responsibility System.
In November 1978, in Xiaogang Village, Fengli Commune, Chiguohui Province, 18 poor farmers signed a production contract responsibility letter. It stipulates the following points.
1. Divide the land into households
2. No longer ask for money and grain from the commune
In October 1979, the threshing ground in Xiaogang Village was golden, and the total grain output that year was the sum of the past five years!
From then on, the days of eating from the same pot were gone forever. The "household contract responsibility system" was born, which contracted the land to the family, handed over part of the grain to the state, and the rest belonged to the private owner.
From then on, the economy of the Red Country took off, and the pockets of farmers quickly became rich.
Wuya Town only used slave labor for production, and its production efficiency was very low. The backward production method was one aspect, and on the other hand, the lack of enthusiasm of the workers was also one of the important reasons.
At this time, the number of Slavic slaves in the two cities of Hanshui Village and Wuya Town had exceeded 500. If you want these aliens to fight for Loki while defending their homes, giving them a safe and prosperous life is the best way.
"The woodland outside the village for logging, the red pine forest for refining fuel, and the cultivated land outside the village, livestock, etc. will be divided into one hundred separate contracted fields by the commune!"
One plot per household!
Every year, each household only needs to pay a fixed harvest to the "Wu Ya Town Production Brigade", and the rest will all be privately owned!
After this order was issued, the Slavs looked at each other. They could understand every word Loki said, but these words together
"Lord, you mean"
"Does each of us become our own lord?"
After hesitating for a long time, a Slavic slave worker said this carefully.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
"The production brigade will not exploit all your labor income! We will collect a fixed part according to the law, and the rest will be paid by the hard-working people! They can use the extra money, plus the housing provident fund, to buy more real estate and more land as soon as possible, and become the rich in Wuya Town!"
"And the lazy ones, haha! Your land may be bought by others, and even your houses may be sold by you in the disaster year and turned into food. You will always live in a house rented from the rich, working for others, and being exploited by others for surplus value."
"The lives of your descendants will be very different."
A buzzing sound of discussion came, and Wen Zhofu beside Loki took the opportunity to step forward and announce the production tasks of different lands.
"To contract a forest farm, you need to pay 60 logs to the production brigade every month! The production team will also help you sell the extra logs, but the money belongs to you!"
"To contract a field, you need to pay 500 kilograms of wheat to the production team every year"
Reciting one by one, Loki's feet were silent. The workload required by the production team was not heavy. If they worked hard, the Slavic slaves could save a lot of money in a year. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.
On that day, more than 500 slaves joined the "Wuya Town Production Team". "Wen Zof", the steward of Hanshui Village, took over as the team leader of the production team. He appointed several hardworking subordinates as team leaders, and in just a few hours, all the forest farms, fields, and livestock in Wuya Town were contracted out.
In the evening of the same day, there were workers carrying saw blades into the mountains. From now on, they were not working for the slave owners, but for buying houses and fields for themselves in the future.
Everyone's enthusiasm was aroused.
In order to manage this "Slavic Autonomous Region", Loki's next step is to think about whether to try to obtain the statues needed to build the "Hakkar Temple". The developing Fog Duck Town will quickly accumulate a lot of wealth, and a lot of wealth will inevitably attract looters from all sides.
The Vikings have never been "only robbing foreigners, not robbing their own people". The six provinces of the Scandinavian Peninsula have been in constant conflict for many years.
Whoever has money is the target of this group of robbers.
What's more, if the target is a village composed almost entirely of Slavs, they will not have any psychological burden.
At this time, Fog Duck Town needs to develop its own defense force.
Security Captain Sartre and ten other companions are still in the Hall of Valor in the mountains. They cannot be expected to be used in the short term. Loki feels that the safest way is to build a "Hakkar Temple" in Fog Duck Town. In this way, these Slavs have their own familiar gods and can become the chosen ones they hope for.
It is very beneficial for both security and the long-term development of the village.
Five days later, after careful consideration, Oleg and five other Slavs were given a Viking longboat and a boatman by Loki. For Oleg, a little man who was not important at all, Loki did not spend the effort to send more people to "supervise" him.
The boatman was only responsible for rowing the boat. If Oleg could bring the statue back, he would be the host of the "Haholan Temple" in Fog Duck Town. It didn't matter if he couldn't bring it back. A longboat and a boatman were still affordable with the current family assets of Hanshui Village.
Loki didn't arrange a time for his return trip. As long as he wanted, it was completely up to him to travel around Slavic for half a year and then come back.
He didn't even come to see him off because he had more important things to do.
At this time, in the lord's study in the Hanshui Village Castle, Loki was sitting in the study.
At the beginning of spring, everything revived, the castle was no longer cold, and gusts of warm wind blew in from behind. He gently opened the 16th volume of "General Map of the World" that had been lying there for a whole winter. Jerome cast a spell behind him and cast a ray of holy light.
The handwriting drawn by the light immediately emerged from the blank papyrus
