Volume 1 Chapter 59 Plenary Meeting

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A few days passed, and the rules and regulations Wu Yiping presented were thoroughly studied and discussed by everyone.  These rules and regulations were all practiced in later generations, so they were basically passed without any modifications.  This also means that the federation will be formally formed and various rules and regulations will be formally implemented.

    Thinking about the leaders Wu Yiping knew in later generations, what they needed to do was to grasp the general direction and set various tones, and all the details and implementation matters were done by the subordinates.  When it is estimated that things are almost done, I will go to inspect and give guidance.

    But for Wu Yiping, this is not the case at all. Since the establishment of the fishing team, Wu Yiping has never been idle, and he works harder than a coolie.

    A few days have passed, and all statistics have been successfully completed.  Looking at the information in his hand, Wu Yiping finally had an intuitive understanding of his own power for the first time more than half a year after arriving in this era.  But this realization only made him shake his head.

    According to statistical reports, the total population under the jurisdiction of the Federation will soon exceed the 30,000 mark, of which there are more than 7,000 adult males.  There are also nearly 5,000 underage children

    Although the population is about to catch up with Lotus City and the scenery is endless, only when you really see these data do you know that these are all bubbles.

    There are dozens of villages in the surrounding area of ??Dafeng Village, plus the two major tribes coming out of the mountains. Among such a large population, except for the soldiers in the escort team, basically all are farmers.  There are almost no people with any skills.

    If Wu Yiping hadn't dragged Liang Yong and others into cramming teachings half a year ago, if he hadn't brought fishing nets from the Dafeng, if he hadn't made a large number of machine tools with his own hands, if he hadn't found Zhao Dongxu who knew how to make steel  Everything will be unimaginable.

    To be honest, the location of Wu Yiping's territory is not very good. Dafeng Village is located on the seaside, and enemies from the sea can easily attack him.  Moreover, Dafeng Village is located in a mountainous area, and many areas are rocky, making it unsuitable for farming. Now, all the land that can be reclaimed around Dafeng Village has been reclaimed.

    At the same time, the villages around Dafeng Village are also mountainous and have no land left to cultivate.

    In other words, the federation has reached a bottleneck. If another person comes, it means that there is no land for farming. This is a very scary thing for a farmer.  It is also a huge restriction for Wu Yiping's development.

    Wu Yiping now thought of Shoufeng City and the large area of ??flat land outside Shoufeng City.  He believes that even in the current very dry period, as long as all potatoes can be planted, a certain harvest can still be obtained.

    "New land must be found to bring more food and the federation can develop." Drawing a big red circle in the Shoufeng City area on the map, Wu Yiping shook his head and said to himself: "It's a pity.  Now we are absolute enemies with Shoufeng City, it is impossible to cooperate with them, what a pity!"

    The above are just population problems; let alone the supplies of the Federation, they are truly impoverished.

    Despite this, Wu Yiping still plans to take advantage of this opportunity to hold the first general meeting after the establishment of the federation.  It is stipulated that one person from each household must participate.  He needs to make good arrangements so that his power can slowly increase.

    In order to make it easier for him, in Wu Yiping's plan, the federation is a bit like the parliamentary system of later generations. He serves as the president of the federation and the captain of the guard team, with several departments under it.

    Departments such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Military Affairs, Ministry of Logistics, Ministry of Science and Technology, etc. are all established according to the national framework of later generations.  The only difference is that it is now a federation in name only, with thirty seats discussing and deciding on the size of the federation, but the real situation is Wu Yiping's decision.

    After more than half a year of getting along, everyone knows the magic of Wu Yiping and knows that he can bring many miracles, such as catching a large number of fish and shrimp every day.  Now everyone is even more frightened by the new varieties and potato yields brought by Wu Yiping.

    Previously, due to the small number of seeds, potato planting had been under the direct control of Wu Yiping. In order to quickly increase the amount of seeds, only a small part was used after each harvest, and most of them were used as seeds for replanting.  .

    Even now affected by the drought, the yield per mu has reached nearly 3,000 jins. After this harvest, the number of seeds will reach hundreds of thousands jins.  Wu Yiping had already spread the word that after this general meeting, potato seeds would be distributed to all villagers.

    With such a big piece of pie, everyone who attended the first general meeting arrived before dawn.  In order to allow everyone to hear the content of this meeting, Wu Yiping specially moved a set of high-tech products from the battleship to the meeting site¡ª¡ªtwo big ones.??Horn.

    Listening to the loud sound coming from the loudspeaker, everyone once again witnessed the magic of Wu Yiping.  The meeting went on in an orderly manner.

    As usual, Wu Yiping first talked a lot about such nonsense as follow me and you will have food to eat, follow me and not be angry, follow me and you will have books to read, etc. Instead, he loudly announced that the federation was officially established  

    Then there are the personnel arrangements.  Wu Yiping decided to let go, otherwise he would die of exhaustion sooner or later.

    Like Liang Yong, although he was still young, he was still appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs, in charge of the military strength of the Federation.

    And Liu Rui made him the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology.  Zhang Deyun is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, Lu Mingyu is in charge of the Logistics Department, and Gu Yonglong is the Minister of Commerce, etc

    Then there is a series of rules and regulations.

    For example, regarding the land issue, Wu Yiping directly used the land contract system of later generations to collect and distribute land that was now abandoned due to drought to everyone, and at the same time encouraged large-scale land reclamation.  It also stipulates that the land in the future cannot be bought and sold by private parties, and there is only the right to use it, but no ownership.

    Although this regulation caused a lot of commotion as soon as it came out, Wu Yiping used potato seeds as a temptation. If he didn't agree, not only would he not get potato seeds, but he would also not get Wu Yiping's various subsidies.

    You must know that large areas of land are now deserted due to drought. If Wu Yiping had not provided a large amount of dried fish, many people would have starved to death; so this most difficult one was passed without any danger.

    Since an organization like the Federation has been established, all villagers who are members of the Federation need to pay a certain amount of harvest as taxes.

    According to regulations, ordinary villagers must pay 25% of their harvest as agricultural tax.

    A quarter of the tax is still relatively high. The reason why it was decided like this is that Gao Wu Yiping also considered that in this era, farmers pay a lot of taxes, often between 60-70%.  It is impossible for Wu Yiping to exempt agricultural taxes all at once. This would be too shocking. Moreover, there is basically no business under the Federation, so it is completely impossible without taxation.

    Now it is a bit higher, and you can use some ways to slowly reduce it in the future so that you can enjoy it.

    Now Wu Yiping has stipulated ways to reduce taxes.  For example, if someone in your family is serving as a soldier in the Guards, you only need to pay 10%.  In addition, those who have made huge contributions to the federation will also receive tax exemptions.

    There is also a provision, which is to provide minimum food security for all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the federation; this point was not passed during the discussion, but Wu Yiping forcibly added it.  Anyway, Wu Yiping now takes out a large amount of dried fish for supplies every day, so the extra bit is nothing to him.

    At the same time, it was also announced that many factories (production workshops) will be established one after another. In the future, not only can you farm land, but you can also choose to work in factories and earn wages.

    And in order to increase the population of the federation.  Wu Yiping also made a special population incentive plan, stipulating that for every person he brought, all the agricultural taxes paid by this person in the first year would belong to the person who brought him.

    Everyone who heard this decision immediately started discussing in a buzzing manner. This person said that your aunt is in such and such a village and they can invite their whole family to come. The other person said that my third uncle is somewhere and I can call her.  etc

    Wu Yiping introduced this land contracting system learned from later generations.  It had a great impact on everyone. They never thought that they could farm like this, that there would no longer be landlords, and that they would no longer have to pay a lot of exorbitant taxes.

    Everyone who finished the meeting was very happy and looked forward to a bright future, especially the provision of minimum food security for all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the federation, which moved many people to tears.

    (I¡¯m sorry, I only have this small chapter today; I¡¯ll code it right after dinner, and I¡¯ll make sure it¡¯s no less than 8,000 words tomorrow.

    My daughter is almost five years old, so I am not a eunuch; the results of this book have never been good, but I promise that as long as there is still one person reading it and one person who feels that what I have written can be read, I will continue  , until the book is finished.  )
