The court is still going well, but Zhang Dian is very unhappy below.

Fengqiu County.

Zhang Dian witnessed a case of selling children and daughters in the local Dali Temple.

The plaintiff sold her daughter to a large family in the county five years ago, and she was only 12 years old at that time, and now the woman died in the family of the big family for unknown reasons.

It stands to reason that the plaintiff should not sue again, this kind of slave contract is for life, and once it is sold, it has nothing to do with him.

But he moved out of the 'employment law' during the Xining period, saying that the sales contract was invalid and demanding compensation from the large household.

Where is the big family easy to bully, not only said that his daughter committed suicide, but also moved out of Yuan Youchu to abolish the 'Employment Law', and the plaintiff is unreasonable.

"Adjournment, trial in three days!"

The three judges of Dali Temple made such a decision. The judgment of the case must not only conform to the law, but also comprehensively consider the sophistication of people, customs and public opinion.

"Old thing, you wait for me!" The big man was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and he stared at the old plaintiff with a grim expression.

The old man was startled, and he cowered and did not dare to answer.

The big family strode away, with an arrogant expression and an imperious attitude.

The onlookers at the yamen dispersed in twos and threes, but the discussion did not stop.

"It's not easy for Lao Litou......"

"I heard that his land was taken away by that officer, and I saw his daughter when she was a child, and she was very ......"

"Who let him sell it, the daughter who sold it is the water that was spilled......"

Zhang Dian had been standing on the side and listening quietly, his face was serious, his dress was plain, and everyone thought he was just an ordinary private school teacher.

When the people were almost gone, the people behind him saw that Zhang Duan didn't move, and said in a low voice: "Sir." ”

The corners of Zhang Dan's face moved slightly, he woke up, looked at the old man who hadn't gone far, and said, "Bring him here." ”

The plainclothes guards behind him stepped forward and went straight to the old man.

Not long after, in a teahouse.

Zhang Dian looked at the old man who was a little trembling, and said, "If you are given twenty acres of land, will you still sell your sons and daughters?" ”

The old man had already seen that the person in front of him was a big man, and said bitterly on his emaciated face: "This official, if he can live, who is willing to sell his sons and daughters?" At the beginning, more than half of the income from that acre of land was given to the owner, more than a dozen acres of land, and there was no ration left for half a year, and the daughter lived for a few years, and the youngest son was starved to death a year later......"

Zhang Dian raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are given twenty acres of land, there is no owner, and you pay taxes normally, can you live?" ”

Lao Tzu looked at Zhang Dian, thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said: "Official, let's put it this way, there are 140,000 people in Fengqiu County, and 120,000 people are raising those 10,000 or 20,000 people, do you think we can survive?" ”

Zhang was stunned and stunned, this is a new point of view, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

This is Fengqiu County, let it go, does it mean that tens of millions of people in the Great Song Kingdom are raising those two or three million people?

Zhang Dan thought for a while, looked at the old man again and said, "What do you think, how can there be hope?" ”

The old man looked at Zhang Dan, a little suspicious, silent for a while, and said, "Let me be a big family." ”

Zhang Dian understood and said, "Give him twenty yuan." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Official, the little old man has also studied, I don't need money, I hope I can do something for you with you." In Fengqiu County, I am very familiar with the land. ”

Zhang Dian ignored him and left directly.

The old man followed behind and shouted a few words, seeing that Zhang Duan ignored it, he sighed and said, "It's not good for big households, it's good to give some small officials......"

Zhang Dian left the county seat and went straight to the village.

In the past few days, he has seen a lot and seen a lot in the local area, which really makes him have a lot of new ideas, and he can be regarded as seeing the 'real world', which is very touching.

In the evening, Zhang Dian was in a field, chatting with an old man's family.

The second son of the old man is very keen on 'entering the office' and is the 'measurement captain' designated by the county government in this area.

He bit the cake and said excitedly to Zhang Dan: "Mr. Big, you may be a southerner and don't understand things here. Let me tell you, when I finish measuring here, I can get 50 acres, and in our village, all the households with household registration, a few have 40 acres, and the tax has dropped greatly. The county respected said that if anyone dares to mess around, he will sue the county government and promise to punish him severely. ”

Seeing his excited appearance, a person next to Zhang Dun said with a smile: "It is said that officials and officials protect each other, so they are not afraid that they will be together?" Besides, county officials generally do it for two or three years, and isn't it the same mess to change people? ”

The young man glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Just say you don't understand." A while ago, Dongming County seemed to be, there were county officials who came to the mess and sued them, but half a month was taken away, I tell you, it's different now, look at it, you dare to mess around in Kaifeng Mansion, there is no good end! ”

Zhang Dian said: "Is it enough for a household of forty acres?" ”

The young man was happy again, and said: "Forty acres are planted, and the court wants less than one acre, and no matter how many people there are, it is enough to eat......

"Alright, hurry up and eat." His father frowned and sighed.

The young man moved his butt a little dissatisfied, looked at Zhang Dian and said, "Mr. Big, if you want to buy land here, don't think about it. I heard from the people of the county government that in the future, heavy taxes will be collected for the trade of acres of land, and it may be that five times per mu of land will be taxed three times, and if it is not planted for another three years, it will be collected by the imperial court, which is not cost-effective......"

Zhang Dian was surprised at this moment, this land transaction was heavily taxed, and it was the first time he had heard of it. At present, the imperial court is still at the level of 'measuring' the acres of land, and it has not even done the division of land, let alone the sale of it.

"Don't go yet!" The young father scolded again.

The young man glanced at his father resentfully, quickly finished eating the cake in his hand, stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Today is almost the end of measuring our village, you just wait for the land to be divided." ”

The young man was so excited that he picked up his shovel and strode away.

The old man took a sip of water, smiled and said to Zhang Dan: "The child is young and reckless, which makes Mr. Big laugh." ”

Zhang Dian admired the young man very much, and said with a smile: "Old brother, your family, this time there will be a lot of land, right?" ”

When the old man listened, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "Let Mr. Big laugh." The county did say that the land would be divided, but the specific amount is not yet known. ”

Zhang Dian nodded slightly.

The provisions of the 'Fangtian Uniform Tax Law' have been promulgated a long time ago, and now it is a matter of the progress of implementation.

According to the population of Fengqiu County, a family gets 40 mu, which is actually less, at least 80 mu.

However, there are still all kinds of complicated problems, and the actual share should be about 60 acres.

However, sixty acres, for a family of ten, is quite rich.

The premise is that the world is peaceful, there are no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there is no ruffian bullies.

Zhang Dian ate slowly, with a smile on his face.

In the past few days, he has felt all kinds of difficulties and is very stressed.

But right here, under the grove, after a few chats with a few ordinary people, he saw hope!

The bottom, the most real, and the most achievable hope!

After eating these, Zhang Dian left more than a dozen pennies, forced it over, and made sure that the old man's family had accepted it, and then left.

Walking not far away, Zhang Dian put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Jingli, are you still holding those magistrates?" ”

The little officer behind him said, "Yes." Cai Xianggong wrote a letter, saying that they would have to be let go back for a day or two at most, and they should not be delayed for too long. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Dan's rare smile and was secretly surprised in his heart.

Zhang Dian looked at the clear river not far away, and for some reason, he suddenly became interested, and said, "You block it for me, and I'll take a bath." ”

The clerks and guards behind him looked at each other, it was only early spring, and Zhang Xianggong was almost sixty years old, so he went down to the river to take a bath?

Zhang Dian ignored them, and really began to undress and prepare to swim in the river.
