Chapter 421: The Battle for the Fields
To be precise, the plaintiff is not from Guanzhong now, but from other places. But more than 20 years ago, his family was an authentic person from Fufeng Yi County. Thinking that at the beginning of the chaos in Guanzhong, all forces fought back and forth, and many people in Guanzhong had to move to other places with their families in order to flee. Because Jiangzuo was relatively stable at that time, it naturally became the first choice of many people in Guanzhong.
Especially in Jingzhou and other places in Hanzhong, which are the closest to each other, many people from Guanzhong have gone south to these places and gradually settled there.
If that's what it is, it's nothing. After all, no one has come back, and Guanzhong has changed several masters one after another.
But the problem is that in the past few years, the Huashan Army has risen in Guanzhong, and its power has become bigger and bigger. With the continuous expansion of the territory, the land of Guanzhong has been stable for several years. Due to the strong foundation of the past and the effective policies of the Huashan Military Office, Guanzhong is naturally getting better and better.
In the past few years, there have been more and more business trips in and out of Guanzhong, and basically as long as you have been in Guanzhong for a period of time, you will find that Guanzhong is getting better and better. Under word of mouth, Guanzhong's reputation outside today is naturally not bad.
To many people, especially the people in some chaotic places, the rumored Guanzhong is simply a beautiful place.
Of course, there is also the credit of the staff department. After all, when Li Xin and his policies were formulated, one of them was to use various methods to vigorously attract displaced people to the customs, so as to enrich the population under their rule.
Chinese people have always had the nature of being difficult to leave their homeland, and who would want to leave their homeland and go to a place where they are not familiar with life unless they have to do so.
Many ordinary people who had originally migrated out of Guanzhong suddenly heard that their hometowns were having a better time. No longer have to worry about the safety of life, no longer have to worry about displacement, and the heart of returning home is moved.
In fact, in the past few years, due to the continuous wars in the world, a large number of people in Guanzhong have gathered in Hanzhong, Jingzhou and other places that are relatively close to Guanzhong. And since the Huashan Army began to attract displaced people, these people began to return to their hometowns one after another.
However, at the beginning, there were not many of them, and the real beginning of more was after the destruction of Fu Qin and the annexation of Qinzhou. Since then, the number of people who have returned has increased almost every year. This is one of the reasons why Guanzhong is recovering so quickly now.
More than half of the population of Guanzhong are returnees, but many others have fled from other places to enter Guanzhong. For example, it is from Shangdang, Taiyuan and other places, as well as the people in the vast areas of the Central Plains from Luoyang and so on.
Coupled with the locals who have stayed in Guanzhong and never left, this constitutes the common people under the rule of the Huashan Army today.
The Huashan Army's policy of dividing land was carried out very early, and it was already implemented when it was still in Zheng County. Under this policy, the people had their own fields to cultivate, which was very attractive to the people of this era.
In addition, the tax is not particularly high, and the politics are relatively clear, so it is natural that more and more people want to settle down in Guanzhong. As a result, a new problem has finally begun to arise, that is, there are too many people and too few places.
To solve this problem, it is relatively simple. One is to increase the intensity of reclamation, and the other is to disperse some of the people to places near Guanzhong, such as Anding, Beidi, Xinping, Tianshui, and so on.
But the issue in this case is not within these two methods, because the plaintiff had originally migrated to Hanzhong. After hearing that Guanzhong was stable, he came back to take a look, and after finding that this side was indeed better than Hanzhong, he planned to move back to the original location.
The point is that when he went to look at the fields left by his ancestors, he found that these fields were already owned by others, and they were the old farmers he sued to the county government. As for his evidence, he has a land deed in his hand from decades ago.
In fact, he sued the old farmer's family, because the dozens of acres of land inherited by his family have now become part of the old farmer's field. Moreover, the other party has been working on those fields for a year or two.
Where did the old farmer think that when he was honestly farming and living, and his life was getting better and better, he actually got into a lawsuit. But he was not afraid, even if the other party had a land deed in his hand, when the people from the government passed on him, he immediately rushed over.
The reason why the old farmer is not afraid of the other party is because he also has a land deed in his hand! Moreover, this land deed was given to him when the Huashan Army redivided the land. In his opinion, the Tian Qi in the other party's hands is already an outdated thing, and now it is the world of the Huashan Army, and this is useful in his own hands.
The two had been arguing for a long time before, but they had never had any result from the dispute.
Originally! According to the idea of ordinary people, one holds the land deed of the previous dynasty and the other holds the land deed of the current government, which is naturally useful for the latter.
But they ignore the fact that in ancient times, the thing of land deeds was basically permanent and useful, and it did not lose its validity just because you said that you changed the dynasty.
The ancients' ideas were relatively simple, and they valued the agreed meaning of the deed itself, rather than when the deed was signed. After all, after the change of dynasty in ancient times, they often said that they had inherited everything from the previous dynasty.
If you don't even recognize such a small thing as Tian Qi, on the one hand, it will touch the interests of the vast majority of people in the world, and on the other hand, it is unjustifiable to say that you inherited the previous dynasty.
It's as if after a change of dynasty, a new dynasty will inevitably take over the territory of the old one. In the eyes of many people in the imperial court, isn't a small field like a dynastic territory for the people!
The emperor attaches great importance to the territory, and the people will attach great importance to their fields.
This is the deep reason why this lawsuit can be fought, otherwise, if you directly replace the past with the present, things are simple and clear, and there is no need to fight any lawsuits at all.
After Li Xin figured out the Tao here, he couldn't help but ponder.
He also wanted to see how the Yixian county magistrate on the opposite side would determine the case. Because this may also be a major revelation for him, after all, now under the rule of the Huashan Army, I am afraid that this situation has happened in many places.
Moreover, as more and more people return in the future, I am afraid that the frequency of such cases will become more and more frequent. If we can't think of a good way to solve this problem, after a long time, small problems will most likely turn into a flood that overthrows the Huashan army.
The county magistrate obviously knew what the problem was, so he read the complaint for a long time. After reading it, I also deliberately discussed it with the county next to me before starting to hear the case.
"Li San, you sued Daddy Qi's family for encroaching on your ancestral property, and this official has already made up his mind a conclusion! The reason for this case is already known to the official! Listen to the judgment. The county magistrate patted the shocked wood, looked at the two people below and said.
"Please call the shots!" The two of them hurriedly kowtowed.
"Li San, the official of your land deed has already found someone to inspect it, and it is indeed a genuine thing. According to this land deed, the 30 acres of land on the bank of the sloping water are indeed your family's ancestral land. However, according to the latest law promulgated by the General's Office, all the fields are redistributed and determined by the Huashan Military Office, so the present deed should be used as the basis! According to what you said, you went back to Guanzhong the year before last year to see the news of the new division of the fields by the Huashan Army. And you knew about it, but you didn't raise it with the government in advance, so you caused today's incident. Therefore, this official announced that the 30 acres of geography should belong to Daddy Qi's family, and the land deed in your hand will be invalid from today! If you are not satisfied with the judgment of this official, you can appeal again, or go to the county to appeal to the county Taishou! The county magistrate of Yixian County said slowly in front of everyone.
Li Xin listened to this sentence very carefully, and after listening to it, he suddenly nodded secretly. This county decree judgment is clear enough, not only explaining the reasons for such a judgment, but also pointing out the inappropriateness of the other party, and giving the other party a way to solve it.
During the whole process, there was neither torture nor oppression by force, let alone any act of coercion. When this case was decided, at least the people around him were very convinced.
"That's right! Our Huashan Army's distribution of fields didn't start last year, so since Li San had come back before, he should have known about it a long time ago. If he had taken out the deed to the government first, the land would not have been distributed to others! This is obviously my own fault, and now I blame someone else! A man next to Li Xin whispered.
"You don't know, I heard that when Li San came back, he just wanted to worship his ancestors, and he didn't decide to settle down. Who would have thought that Guanzhong has been getting better and better in the past two years, and his family can't help but want to return to their ancestral land. However, by this time it was already too late. Now, if he wants to get a share of the fields, he has to go somewhere else. After all, the fields around Yixian County were already divided last year, otherwise, they would have to be newly cultivated! "There are people around who know the inside story.,At this time, I whispered.。。
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize that they were even more sympathetic to this Li San.
And when Li San heard this verdict, although he was very unconvinced, there was no way, because of the reasons stated by the county order, even he couldn't find a rebuttal. If you want to blame, you can only blame himself, he hesitated for too long at the beginning, and he didn't immediately make up his mind to stay!
