Chapter 412 Land

Dang County Government Office

Four or five days have passed since the Kang and Wang family incidents occurred, and the entire nine counties of Dang County are still shrouded in a chilling atmosphere.

The Dou family, the Kang family, and the Wang family have been operating in Dang County for many years, and the clan forces are intertwined in the county. With the addition of a Dou family, the Dang County yamen almost works in shifts to interrogate two major counter-cases.

However, since Dou, Kang, and Wang's three prefectures fell one after another, some rumors started to spread in Dangjun County under the help of people with good intentions, mainly saying that Marquis Su was greedy for the wealth and land accumulated by the three families, so he wantonly implicated him.

This rumor first started in teahouses and restaurants, and then spread to the county. It seems to be getting worse. There is an undercurrent brewing in the nine counties of Dangjun.

However, when soldiers from Changshui and Yanling counties went to Dang County, and the crimes uncovered by the Dou family, Kang family, and Wang family became clear, this undercurrent gradually dissipated.

In the county office · in the study

"Count the wealth of Kang, Wang, and Dou and put it into the national treasury. I will release hermits to fabricate atlases, measure the land, and prepare for the new government grant." Su Zhao changed into a simple robe at this moment, and presented it with Lu Chen. The text book, read it, said lightly.

As he expected, the Kang, Wang, and Dou families had considerable assets, acres of land, and property. Just the inspection of the three families added several 10 people to Dang County.

It is impossible for these populations to be released and given to the grain fields. The land rights are still the government of the State of Su, but they are only leased to the common people. , then the army belongs to the small officials to give priority to the field.

In fact, this point is also where Su Zhao and Yan Chang have a dispute, and he has been persuading Yan Chang recently.

What Su Zhao meant was that the land should be consolidated and separated. In other words, he had the Su Yi family, and the people only had the right to farm, not ownership, which fundamentally prevented land annexation.

Anyway, we don't engage in industrialization, and big farms, where one man controls five families and manages a hundred acres of land, is undoubtedly an ideal Confucian society.

Compared with robbing the rich and helping the poor, the difficulty is even higher.

Under the ancient social structure, the source of wealth all came from the land. It is unimaginable that the people in the head of Guizhou have a complex for the land.

The state of Qin couldn't say it, and went directly to the famous house of military meritorious service. Once this ferocious beast is released, it will sweep the world.

In the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period, with the use of iron farm tools, it has experienced such a process of transferring official land to private land.

Moreover, if the land is owned by the Su Yi family, there must always be someone to manage the granting of land, inheritance and transfer, and the government will act on behalf of the power, but the government is also composed of an individual, which is feudal bureaucracy.

Over generations, usage rights can also be transformed into ownership.

"Is it feasible that the law prohibits land trading?" Su Zhao was thinking about this question again. The law prohibits land trading, directly regards land trading as illegal, and prohibits mergers. You can't follow my hard-headed advice, so you can't help but merge and promote business.

Refugees are uprising everywhere, poor and weak and Qingping and prosperity are two sides of one body.

"I obey." Lu Chen took the order and retreated.

"A few days ago, some people in Dang County said that Gu was the king who confiscated the family, but how did they know? The wealth of these families is incomparable to the country, and which of them did not come here to search for the people's anointing!" Su Zhao threw the booklet in his hand to the desk. Go up, and said to Yan Chang who was at the side.

Yan Chang said: "Your Majesty, this is a traitor's slander, so don't take it too seriously, Your Majesty."

Su Zhao smiled lightly, and said: "Why don't I take it to heart, I just think it's ridiculous, Yan Qing, continue the topic just now, the land will be taken back to the state in name, and the people will be granted the right to farm according to their age. A population census is conducted every ten years, and the land is surveyed every 30 years. At the same time, part of the fields are turned into military fields, awarded according to military merit, and land trading is strictly prohibited.”

Yan Chang pondered and said: "Your Majesty, once this method is widely used, there may be a lot of controversy in the world, saying that Your Majesty is going against the law and implementing the system of well fields."

The well field system, which seems to be public ownership of land, is actually private ownership of land under slavery.

With Ji Zhou's downfall, the well field system has long been destroyed.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, and said: "What you and I do should not be to enrich the country and strengthen the army for a while, to compete for power in the Kyushu, but also to build a foundation for eternity. Many things are done early, and the resistance behind will be much smaller. "

Yan Chang paused for a moment, speechless for a long time.

Su Zhao picked up the teacups on the cases, and said, "Yan Qing, when the investigation of the rebellious case in Dang County is completed, and everything is on the right track, Gu will return to Wenyi, and everything will be entrusted to Yan Qing."

Yan Chang said: "This is my duty!"

Su Zhao confessed a few words, asked Yan Chang to resign, and looked at the stack of texts on the dark red desk. These were the military information transmitted by Tianting Division through the channel of Jing Chongsi.

"The Jin army actually dispatched fairy boats, Taoist soldiers, ten-thousand-bladed chariots, and corpse puppets?" Su Zhao frowned, with a look of solemnity in the depths of his eyes, and murmured: "And the two countries of Qi and Lu are not to be outdone. Zong also sent his disciples to assist in the battle. It seems that there is still a figure from the Dragon Palace in the place of Prince Huan of Qi State? This human warfare is mixed with the magical powers of immortals, and it really looks like a war of gods."

Tian Tingsi could only inquire about some superficial information, but did not inquire about which immortal sect supported the Jin State.

"Is this Young Master Huan really related to Dragon Palace? Could it be that King Qi was really hated by people from Dragon Palace?" Thinking of this, Su Zhao couldn't help but feel gossip.

"There may be changes in the north, and we need to prepare early." Su Zhao thought about this, and also wanted to go to the front line of the battle between the two sides to have a look.

"In a few days, wait for everything in Dang County to get back on track."

Su Zhao put together the files on several cases, got up, and walked to the backyard.

Time flies by, and before you know it, another few days pass.

In the past few days, Su Zhao also left the county town of Dangjun to inspect the counties, summoned the powerful gentry in the nine counties, and acted both hard and soft, which can be regarded as preparation for the new policy in full swing in Dangjun.

Although it is winter, it is covered with snow, the sky and the earth are white, and it is lonely and chilling.

But when they are free, almost half of the people are at home, and the government happens to send out officials, yamen servants, and soldiers to hire the people at the same time, clear up the land, and then knock on the door to inquire about the land ownership of each family at the question point. At the same time, for poor families, Those who are short of supplies and cannot survive the winter safely, the government will send food, quilts, and supplies to comfort the hearts of the people.

Well, these are materials confiscated from Dou, Wang, and Kang's families. Under Su Zhao's instruction, they were taken out of the treasury and distributed to ordinary people.

Although this move is suspected of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, it also wins the hearts of the people and is very convenient for the implementation of the new policy.

When everything in Dang County was on the right track, Su Zhao left five hundred imperial guards to guard Yan Chang's safety, and then he didn't linger any longer, and set off to return north.

Because, the fierce battle between Qiluwei in the north and the Jin army was about to be decided.

Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides, from the late autumn to the winter moon, the corpses are lying on each other, it is extremely tragic, and both sides intend to fight a decisive battle.

Su Zhao didn't plan to stay any longer.

In the 38th year of Ji Zhou Jingping's reign, on November [-]th in winter, the sky was fine and there was no snow.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked outside the city of Dangjun, surrounded by imperial guards, under the city, Dangjun led by Yan Chang, the governor of Dangjun, Lu Chen, the county lieutenant and others lined up to send Su Zhao to the north.

Su Zhao waved his hands and said, "Masters, it's windy here, please go back."

"Your Majesty, I will send you off respectfully." Everyone bowed and saluted, saying.

Su Zhao waved his hands at the military and civilian officials of Dang County, and without further words, he got into the carriage, and the carriage turned with a rumble, rolled over the snow on the official road, and headed north.

Since then, it took half a month from Wenyi to Dangjun.
