Chapter 157: Selling Land

100,000 soldiers!

Yiwangfu really recruited 100,000 soldiers, and only with 1 million acres of fertile land, which made many people feel unreal.

But believe it or not, the facts are right in front of you.

For example, the 5 city gates of Yidu City, each city gate garrison 1,000 people, majestic, majestic, more infiltrating than those veterans in the past, all the people of Yidu saw these defenders, and unconsciously produced a sense of trust in their hearts, and felt extremely relieved to hand over Yidu City to such a military guard.

Another example is the defenders of Yiwang's Mansion, although there are only 1,000 people, they are majestic and high-spirited when patrolling, each of them is like a hero returning from a hundred battles, and it makes people feel that the Fire Lotus Sect's sacked Yidu City twice is like a dream, as if it didn't exist at all.

After the establishment of the Yidu Road New Army, they were training for five days in a row, and at the end of each day, when the new army entered and exited in groups, Zhang Zhilu had to observe silently in front of the door, and he observed it for five days.

On the fifth day, when the Yidu Road New Army completely finished its training, a question suddenly flashed in Zhang Zhilu's head:

Are these 100,000 troops newly recruited, or are they originally veterans? The second ransack of Yidu City, was it the Fire Lotus Sect, or these soldiers?

Once this idea came out, it was like a fire that ignited hay, suddenly burning the whole land and was difficult to suppress, which not only made Zhang Zhilu break out in a cold sweat, but also made him make a seemingly crazy decision in his heart......

……

Zhang Zhilu's decision Gong Qianbai was in no mood to care, and he couldn't manage it, and he didn't need to care about it, so he simply didn't care about it.

On the first day after the 100,000 new troops ended their training, Yiwangfu issued the first military order: suppress the Fire Lotus Sect!

He also shouted while beating gongs on the street, but this time it was not Gao Lishi himself who got on the horse, and sent thirty or fifty military officers to carry out propaganda.

And the content of the propaganda makes many people feel like crazy:

"King Yi has an order! Because the Fire Lotus Sect ransacked Yidu City twice, took away a large number of house deeds and land deeds, and burned down the records of the official mansion, in order to prevent someone from colluding with the Fire Lotus Sect to sell the stolen goods, Yidu Road began to clean up the ownerless land and return it to the unified jurisdiction of the Yiwang Mansion! All the officials and businessmen of Yidu Road are invited to take their respective house deeds and land deeds in front of Yiwang's Mansion for 10 days. Those who do not come to claim within 10 days, or who do not have the title deed, will be repossessed according to the ownerless land and returned to the Wangfu, or punished according to the crime of selling stolen goods! ”

Why drive people crazy? Because more than 80% of the land on Yidu Road is concentrated in seventy or eighty households, and these seventy or eighty families all live in Yidu City, and almost all of them have lost their deeds and land deeds, either they are burned by the Fire Lotus Sect, or they are taken away and don't know what to do, where can there be a house deed and title deed left?

And each of them knows that all the records of the house deeds and land deeds left in the official office have also been burned down by the Fire Lotus Sect.

In other words, they have no way to prove that their land belongs to them, so according to the regulations of the Yiwang Mansion, these lands must be handed over to the Yiwang Mansion.

first lost the lives of their families, then lost all their family property, and now even the house and land have been lost, and the big family of Yidu Road, which was very beautiful 10 days ago, suddenly became a lost dog, how can they accept it!

"Heavens! It's really eye-opening! We are all good people, so why should we suffer such calamity? ”

This is the first sentence that most people say after listening to the propaganda of Yiwangfu.

Of course, they didn't think that they had always looked at those homeless people like wild cats and wild dogs, and when they were happy, they would let them farm for themselves, and they could also charge them 9% of the rent; If you are unhappy one day, you will be bullied and abused at will, even if you die, you can get rid of it with just one sentence.

These homeless people are all Han Chinese, and more than 6 percent of these wealthy families in Yidu City are also Han Chinese, and in the face of conflict of interests, they do not have the four words "fellow brothers" in their eyes!

Some people will definitely say that it is not easy for these rich people, because their family wealth has also been accumulated little by little over several generations, so it cannot be considered that rich people must be rich and unkind.

Wrong! Not right at least in this day and age!

The Mongols divide the Han people into the third or fourth class, even if most of the Han people on this side of Yidu Road are the third class, under the oppression of layers, coupled with the turmoil of the Song, Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, there are almost no people who can accumulate wealth in peace and stability, but all those whose wealth reaches their level, it can be said that none of them are clean!

Therefore, even if Liu Bingzhong, Gao Lishi, Chen Yuyan and others did not understand, Gong Qianbai still did not hesitate to be ruthless to these rich people.

On the first day, only a few families with no more than 10 acres of land came to Yiwangfu to claim the land. To say that it is to claim it is actually to make a mark on the map and record the location and number of acres of land in the household register, nothing more.

Although the official file has been burned, as long as there is a house deed and a title deed in the house, the Yiwang Mansion will recognize it and re-register the file.

In addition, many house deeds and land deeds were burned, and those who came to Yiwangfu begged for re-registration, Yiwangfu did not recognize them and forcibly drove them out.

All of a sudden, these big households who have lost their house deeds and land deeds can be said to be called ineffective every day.

Until the 8th day, many people decided to break the net, but things suddenly took a turn for the better - someone actually bought the land, and there was no need for the house deed and title deed, as long as someone proved that the land was yours, and then signed the contract, it would be sold on the spot at the price of ten taels of silver per acre of land.

Ten taels of silver per acre of land, of course, this price is cheap to grandma's house, but don't forget, if you don't sell it, it will be impermanent in two days and will be taken away by Yiwangfu, and it is likely that you won't get anything at that time.

And all of them had just been ransacked, and their homes were already in vain, and even the houses were soon no longer their own, and it was time for a lack of money. And each of them once owned more than 1,000 acres of land, so even if it was traded at the price of ten taels of silver per mu, they could get tens of thousands or even millions of taels of silver.

As a result, the land-buying businessman signed more than 300 contracts in just half a day.

Of course, some people inquired about the reason why he bought land at this time, and the answer given by this person was also convincing, that is: doing business is inherently risky, and buying land now is likely to lose tens of millions of taels of silver, but if the imperial court recognizes these lands, then the name will not only be tens of millions of taels!

This is especially understandable for people who do business in this era, or how to say that people are not rich without windfalls!
