"We're here to Tuntian, just take care of ourselves, what do you care about others?" A middle-aged homeless man waved at everyone.

"Third Brother Hu, I heard a lot of people say that the tuntian here is distributed according to the official six people and four, let's work for a year, and only forty percent is left in our hands, how to feed the family?"

The homeless man called Hu Sange was obviously the leader of this group, and he sighed and said: "When the emperor is here in Tuntian today, forty percent is better than one percent."

As long as there is a field, let's cultivate it well, don't be like those two people, people are superficial, and if you want to starve to death, you will starve them to death first. ”

"That's the same, let's go quickly, it's too late, the good fields are occupied by others," the displaced people around them nodded one after another.

All of them came from Huainan.

Yuan Shu, who occupied Huainan, was arrogant and lascivious, and he didn't care about the life or death of the people at the bottom, and the people under his rule lived a miserable life, and many people died of hunger.

When the emperor's "Edict of Li Nong" arrived, they immediately brought their families with their mouths, helped the old and the young, and went to Xudu.

But when I inquired about Xu Du, I learned that Tuntian here had to pay sixty percent to the government, and only those who had the ability to work were selected to be included in the Tuntian people, and the remaining drooping children and the elderly were not listed.

This condition is too harsh.

Everyone discussed it, and harshness was harsh, but since they had already come, they could only accept it.

Who would have thought that the official who received them at that time would support them here in another sentence and let them cultivate the fields of the Son of Heaven.

These homeless people are even more worried, since they are from the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that the exploitation will be even more powerful.

It is said that even the princes on Yuan Shu's side are drunk every day, the emperor is much bigger than Yuan Shu, and his life is naturally more extravagant, and he does not exploit the people, where does the use come from?

They didn't know that the sweaty young man in the field in front of them was today.

The crowd followed the guidance and walked only three or five miles along the field path, and a simple tent was temporarily set up on the side of the road, in which sat a man who looked like an official.

"Envoy, we came from Huainan to participate in Tuntian," Hu Laosan said respectfully on behalf of everyone.

That official is Han Hao, he is also a person who is good at farming, and has been managing civil affairs for Liu Ping, and now as a general of Yulin Lang, since the emperor and Liu Ping are farming in the field, he will lead the army to secretly protect while helping Liu Ping manage the homeland field.

"Sit down," Han Hao gently patted a few pieces of paper on the table in front of him and said, "Since you are waiting to come to Tuntian, I will sign a contract with you." ”

Hu Laosan was puzzled: "What kind of contract is this?" ”

"You can choose to be literate and see for yourself." Han Hao said, pushing the paper in front of him.

"I know a few superficial words," Hu Laosan picked up the paper and read it with difficulty, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Then I read it again.

The villagers next to him looked at his expression, and the more they looked at it, the cooler their hearts became.

When ordinary people mention contracts, they will think of things like deed of sale, there is no pie in the sky, and most of the time officials sign contracts with ordinary people, and there is probably nothing good about them.

"Third Brother Hu, what is written on this, isn't it mean?"

"This is probably a contract to sell ourselves into slavery or something, if it's too harsh, why don't you lead us back to Huainan with Third Brother Hu."

"Is it true that the harvest is distributed according to the four officials and the six people?" Hu Laosan ignored the villagers, but asked Han Hao: "And in terms of households, we rent land according to the population, and one rent is a hundred years?" ”

In fact, the share of the four officials and the six people is not low, but there are outside the official six and the people and the four for comparison, which is already very low.

When the villagers heard this, they were in an uproar, which sounded much more tolerant than the rumors outside.

First of all, the distribution ratio is reversed, with the people taking the big head and the officials taking the small head.

Secondly, if the land is rented for a hundred years, what is the difference between giving them these fields for nothing?

After all, who will live to be a hundred years from now?

A group of people gossiped and raised doubts in their hearts:

"If we are given land according to the population, do children count? Does the old man count? ”

"After we were given the land, did we plant as much as we wanted, and the government would not interfere?"

Han Hao pointed to the contract and said firmly: "It is written in black and white, whether it is a boy or a girl, an old man or a woman, as long as there is anger in the family, each person can get ten acres of land."

As for how you will cultivate the fields after they have been given to you, the government does not care.

However, the future sharing is not set in stone.

If three stones of corn are produced per mu of land, it will be distributed according to the official four and the six people.

If it is less than three stones, for each stone lower, one more grain per mu will be handed over to the government.

If it is higher than three stones, one stone per high, one less grain per mu, and so on. ”

Liu Ping pondered at that time, although the land is vast and sparsely populated, but it is also necessary to encourage everyone to produce more grain, the yield of three stones of corn per mu is the average level of the late Han Dynasty, the higher the output, although it seems to be reduced, but in fact the government receives more grain.

Han Hao continued: "In addition, the government encourages everyone to reclaim the wasteland and open up the grain produced by the wasteland, and the government only collects 10%.

Now you understand everything, right? If you understand it, sign it quickly. ”

If you give the displaced people a lot of land, you can get 50 acres of fertile land for a family of five.

Even according to the average yield per mu, 150 stone of grain can be collected, and after handing over to the government, a household has a net of 90 stone of grain, which is enough to live.

Of course, there are only two people in a family who are young and strong, and it is not easy to cultivate fifty acres of land, but in this world, it is not very difficult for anyone to live?

As long as you work hard, the family can survive, where can you find such a good thing in the world, and don't you squeeze your head to sign it?

However, what Han Hao didn't expect was that all the homeless people in front of him looked at each other and were worried, no one dared not believe that this was true, and naturally no one stepped forward to sign the contract.

"Envoy, please allow me to discuss it later," Hu Laosan said to Han Hao.

"Give you land for nothing, and you still have to discuss?" Han Hao's nose was on fire, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's discuss it on the side." ”

Hu Laosan led a group of villagers to the side.

"Third Brother Hu, do you understand the contract, do you think there will be any conspiracy in it?"

"Yes, third brother, I always feel that the government will not be so kind, and the official doesn't look like a good person, I wish we signed it quickly, if we sign something that shouldn't be signed, then the old and young masters will be finished."

Hu Laosan scratched his head, his literacy level is just to know most of the words, as for whether there is any conspiracy hidden in the contract, he can't guarantee that he can see it.

"Then in your opinion, to sign or not to sign?"
