Hedong County.

It's still early spring, and it's the cold season of spring, but early in the morning, the fields of Yicheng Slippery Village in Hedong County are already lively.

An official of the Zhao State was dressed in an official robe and held a slip in his hand, and shouted to the many people of the Zhao State who were around him: "Where is the chief and the chief Wu?" ”

As soon as the official's voice fell, many people immediately came out: "Shi Chang Song Wu is here!" "Chief Wu Chenyan is here." "What's the ......"

After a while, twenty or thirty chiefs and military chiefs all stood in front of the official with joy.

The officials of Zhao State looked at these people in front of them and nodded with satisfaction.

After the victory in the battle of Hedong County, Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, gave two options for meritorious soldiers, one was to reward them in kind with money, and the other was to reward them with the land of Hedong County.

According to Zhao Dan's special order, if he was willing to move to Hedong County, he would get more land based on military merit than before.

Not only that, Zhao Dan also announced that in addition to the criminals who committed homicide, as long as Chengdan, Chung, Guixin, Bai Ji, and Son-in-law were willing to come to Hedong County, then they could all be pardoned for their crimes and enter the household registration as a good citizen of Zhao State.

Stimulated by various policies, a large number of Zhao Guogong soldiers and prisoners began to drag their families and their families through the steep roads of Taihang Mountain, and came to Hedong County from various places in Zhao State.

This Yicheng Huazhuang is a village just established by Zhao immigrants, and today is the day when Zhao officials come to Huazhuang to divide the fields.

Zhao's hukou legal system was similar to that of Qin, which was the so-called "Shiwu system", with one chief (Wu Lao) for every five families, and one chief for ten soldiers.

Speaking of this system, I don't know about the Qin State, and there is nothing surprising about it. The Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry shooting is only limited to the military aspect, and in terms of the system, the Zhao State has almost completely copied the system of the Qin State, and only retains some of the more distinctive things of the Zhao State itself.

Surrounded by these military chiefs and Shi Chang, this Zhao State official strode to the edge of the field, picked up the slip in his hand, and read aloud: "Where is Shi Chang Song Wu!" ”

A tall man, about forty years old, hurried out of the ranks. said to the official of the Zhao State in front of him: "Song Wu is here. ”

The official of Zhao State read aloud: "Song Wu, the title is not changed, according to the law, four hectares of land should be granted, and according to the edict of grace issued by the king, six hectares of land are now granted!" ”

The so-called Entian Order refers to the order that Zhao Dan announced not long ago that if he moved to Hedong, he would be able to divide more land.

After hearing what this official said, Song Wu was immediately overjoyed.

Managing the doctor's wires, it was natural for his subordinates to start measuring the land.

In the expectant eyes of many people, the land was quickly measured.

Then the four boundary monuments were placed in the four directions of the land owned by Song Wu, and it only took a few days to find a stonemason to come and engrave Song Wu's name, and this land was completely completed and became the land owned by Song Wu.

Song Wu looked at the six hectares of land in front of him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

According to the unit of weights and measures of Zhao State, one hectare is a hundred acres of land, and one acre of land is a hundred steps away, so Song Wu is divided into a full 600 acres of land.

Six hundred acres of land, that's not a small number. Moreover, these 600 acres are still 600 acres of actual farmland, and there is no kind of deduction at all.

You must know that Song Wu was originally a native of Handan, and after hundreds of years of development in the Zhao Kingdom, the land near Handan has already been carved up.

If Song Wu insisted on staying in his hometown of Songzhuang near Handan, then Song Wu's title would only be able to grant 400 mu of land, and these 400 mu were only nominal, and the actual land in hand would have to be discounted in half, and the land would only be about 200 mu.

Although he is now far away from his hometown Handan, the land that Song Wu has acquired has become 600 acres, which is three times the 200 acres left in Handan.

Looking at the crowd behind him, there were several sons, daughters and wives who were also full of excitement, as well as several of their own subordinates. The smile on Song Wu's face was almost overflowing.

The surrounding neighbors also rushed forward one after another, congratulating Song in unison.

Song Wu was in a happy mood, laughed and arched his hand to the neighbors around him, "Thank you." ”

After dividing the land of Song Wu, the official of Zhao State continued to move forward with the crowd, towards the other lands that had not yet been divided, and his name was still read loudly: "Where is Chief Wu Chenyan?" ”

The crowd soon followed the officials, and only Song Wu's wife, sons, daughters, and several subordinates excitedly surrounded Song Wu in the middle.

Sun Wu's youngest son said to Sun Wu very happily: "Weng, this is a full 600 acres of land, which is much more than Handan!" ”

Song Wu's second daughter on the side interjected: "Speaking of which, my father fought bravely, and he was able to be promoted to this unchanging title to get so much land." ”

Song Wu nodded, and said very proudly: "That is, this time, I was the first batch of people to climb the wall with General Zhao Kuo in the battle of Anmen Pass, and I also beheaded five Qin people!" ”

Song Wu said to the eldest son and second son who had already started a family beside him: "You and the two of you should also hurry up, and they should be assigned to the land of you and others in a while." ”

Like Song Wu, Song Wu's eldest son and son also served in the Zhao army, and their titles were second-level Shangzao and third-level hairpins, and this time they also had their own rewards.

After the eldest son and the second son left, Song Wu suddenly sank his face and slapped the younger son who was still standing there smirking in the face.

"I usually order you to practice martial arts diligently, but you just don't want to take it to heart, but you say, if you don't join the army and make meritorious contributions, how can you have land in the future?"

The youngest son's face was directly swollen by Song Wu's cold slap, but he didn't dare to fight back at all, he just covered his face and smiled: "Weng, I'm really a little scared in my heart......

"Scared of a bird!" Song Wu's spit Xingzi sprayed directly on the youngest son's face: "If you don't practice martial arts diligently, you won't even be able to support your children and women in the future!" ”

Song Wu's wife on the side couldn't stand it, so she persuaded: "Why should a lover be like this, even if you and I die of old age, Zhong'er can inherit the 600 acres of land, and it is not a problem to support the family." ”

Song Wu sighed and said: "My wife doesn't know anything, my Zhao State title has always been a third-class demotion and a knight, but now I am only a fourth-class lord, if I wait until I die, this rebel son will attack the lord, and I will only be a first-class duke." This kind of duke is no more than 100 acres of land, no more than 50 stones per year, and no more than one house, how can he support his family? ”

As soon as Song Wu said this, the little son who had been beside him and didn't dare to speak was suddenly stunned.

In fact, Song Wu's words are still exaggerated, after all, a hundred acres of land is enough to feed a family.

But there is no doubt that compared with the 600 acres of land today, the next 100 acres of land will really be a little pitiful.

After a long time, Song Wu's youngest son jumped up and said through gritted teeth: "Weng, from today onwards, you must work hard to learn martial arts, and when you become an adult, you will serve the country and the army, and go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

Song Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted his youngest son on the shoulder: "Good! ”

This scene is not only in Song Wu's house, but in the entire Hedong County.

With the progress of the field granting, the enthusiasm of these Zhao people who moved to Hedong County for learning martial arts and joining the army in the future suddenly rose to an unprecedented height.

At the same time, Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, who led this land grant, also soared like a rocket in the hearts of the people of Zhao who had been given the land, reaching the highest value since he ascended the throne!
