Qiu Congfu said that the people in this village were originally people who worked in the mulberry garden, so it is unlikely that this is a natural village, but should be made up of people who came to work in the mulberry garden.

"Girl, this Xiaolin Village is said to be a village, in fact, it is more than a dozen families working here, and there are several such small villages going forward, all of which are composed of people who work in the mulberry garden and settle down here, because their household registration is not a farmer's household, so they have not been divided into fields or anything, they do not pay agricultural taxes, and they have not registered the villages in this area on the title deed of the official household registration, and they are still wasteland."

The Dachang Dynasty was based on agriculture, and the prevailing economy was a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, which collected a poll tax, and the biggest feature of this system was settlement and fixed farming, which was actually very well understood, if there was no fixed arable land, the peasant households would not have the most basic income guarantee, and it would be impossible to afford the tax, and if it was not for settlement, the population flow was large, then the household registration system of capitation tax would collapse, and the Dachang Dynasty would lose its economic foundation.

Therefore, even if it is only more than ten households, as long as there is arable land, it will be put on the plate in the government, and the tax will be collected according to the household in the future, so that a natural village will be formed, and there will be public land and homestead belonging to the village, so that the land in the village will become the exclusive land of a village, even if there is no title deed in the village, it is also tacit, no one can occupy it, without the consent of the village, outsiders will never be able to buy the land in the village, even if it is the villagers of the village, in addition to the homestead that should be allocated, no matter how much you want, you must agree to buy it with the consent of the village. Just like the Han family bought a homestead before, this is actually a protection measure to ensure that farmers can settle in one place with peace of mind.

Now the residents of this Xiaolin village will naturally not be protected by the government because they do not pay taxes, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have the ability to buy wasteland from the government, so although they have formed a village to live here, in fact, these lands are not theirs at all, and the government can take them back at any time and sell them at any time.

Of course, if Qiu Congfeng hadn't fallen, no one would have the courage to buy these lands, even if they didn't have a title deed, as long as they helped Qiu Congfeng work for a day, they would definitely be able to live here safely, but now that Qiu Congfeng has fallen, there is no umbrella, as long as these lands are interested, then anyone can take a bite.

His own small mulberry garden is here, and of course it is impossible for others to buy this land and block themselves in the cold early snow.

"Liu Lizheng, you measure all the land, and then write a land deed, and my family buys it together."

Yikes!

Liu Lizheng was a little confused, this piece of wasteland has dozens of acres, it is said to be wasteland, but these people have lived here for so many years, and they have already reclaimed all the vacant land around them into vegetable gardens and even small pieces of cultivated land, and they want to buy it at the price of wasteland, which is no different from the white wolf with empty gloves.

But thinking about other people's means, Liu Lizheng still obediently went to the ground, to put it bluntly, he is a small local official, if the county magistrate refuses to sell, does not stamp the official seal, it is useless to write ten more land deeds, if the county magistrate has no way to take others, then he is even less qualified to say that he can't say no.

I figured it out, figured it out, there was no psychological burden, and Liu Lizheng was working a lot, especially when Qiu Congfu quietly stuffed a silver ingot of ten taels into his hand under the signal of Han Chuxue, the eyes of this goods lit up.

After the measurement, he ran back happily, with a stroke of the pen, the homestead was fifty acres, and the wasteland was ten acres, which expanded a small village with only a dozen households into a century-old village with dozens of households, and shrunk dozens of acres of wasteland into ten acres.

Qiu Congfu looked at this land deed, and silently gave Han Chuxue a thumbs up in his heart, don't look at the area written in this land deed, and the purchase price of the homestead is not much different from that of the wasteland, but you must know that the homestead is a buyout and there will be no entanglement in the future, and the wasteland still has to pay taxes after it is bought.

Han Chuxue quickly figured it out, since people can do it, of course she won't be stingy.

gave him a health pill very generously, which she got to give Xiuniang and them to replenish their bodies, and at Liu Lizheng's age, any tonic is not as suitable as this health pill.

Half-believing it, he stuffed it into his mouth, and after taking the medicine, Liu Lizheng immediately noticed that his old legs were not trembling, although he still didn't wear shoes, but his old feet were not cold, and his whole body was strong.

Suddenly, Liu Li was looking at Han Chuxue's eyes, and his eyes were almost glowing green.

The little ghost of the snowman at the beginning of the cold stretched out his hand and patted him, "Old man, in the future, our mulberry garden will have to take care of you more." ”

There is absolutely a subtext in this statement, and Liu Lizheng secretly poked and poked that he completely understood, "Girl, don't worry, as long as our old man is here, as long as the adults above are not looking for trouble, your mulberry garden will definitely be safe and stable." ”

The old man is really right, although Liu Lizheng is so excited that his old face is red, but he still attaches a lot of ifs to the book, but Han Chuxue doesn't expect him to be able to resist power, as long as he doesn't take advantage of his position, he will add blockages to his mulberry garden from time to time.

So he was very satisfied and gave him a health pill, and told him to eat it when he felt uncomfortable, and Liu Lizheng was so happy that he almost couldn't find the north, even Han Chuxue said that he wanted him to lead the way to find the county order, and he didn't remember that he had turned back, and it was not appropriate to go to see the county order, so he agreed without thinking about it, and when he came back to his senses, the group was already on the way, and it was too late to regret it.

Qiu Congfeng, as the former county guard, occupies the Zhuangzi pastoral area is very geographically advantageous, take this mulberry garden as an example, in fact, it is on the outskirts of the county, so it didn't take much time for the group to go to the county seat, and Liu Lizheng, who knew the way, and the group of second-rate people led the way, and they didn't even have to look for it, so they came directly to the county office.

The sky had just cleared, and the county magistrate was still sleeping soundly in his bed at this hour, but his home was behind the county office, so there was no need to look elsewhere.

Liu Lizheng, who was fortunate enough to be to the county commander's house, well, to put it bluntly, is actually the door of the house, the Dachang Dynasty is a two-level system of county guards, so many townships below, it is impossible to pay taxes directly to the county every time, so they are responsible for a place Li Zheng first collected, and then handed in, Liu Lizheng loves to brag and play prestige, even if he can't enter the county commander's house when he enters the county, he will still have a visit at his doorstep, so as not to have nothing to talk about after going back.

So although he didn't know what the layout of the county commander's house was, he still knew very well where he lived and which way the door of his house was opening. (To be continued.) )
