Chapter 109 - Land System, Assassination!

"King, King! Good news! ”

Xiang Yu was taking Zhang Daniu to practice martial arts in the backyard at this time, but he could only hear Zhuge Liang's excited voice.

Xiang Yu motioned for Zhang Daniu to continue practicing, and he went to check.

"What's the good news? So excited, sir? Xiang Yu walked out of the courtyard and asked.

"Huhu, King, the matter over there of Yuzhang has been done! Basically all the families and nobles involved have gone into the water! Each of these counties has a lot of land. Although Zhuge Liang was panting, he said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"Hahaha! All right! I didn't expect Puyu to be so fast. It's only been more than half a month, and I've actually done that group of people!" Xiang Yu laughed.

"Cut! He, Meng Heng, is a person who smashed the three brothers of the Jiang family into meat sauce with his own hands for a sentence, in the face of such a killing god, who would dare not obey? Unless he's really dead!" Zhuge Liang complained in his heart.

But he still said, "Yes! Lord, this is the ledger and property of those great families. ”

Xiang Yudang even asked Zhuge Liang to read it to himself. Although Xiang Yu doesn't understand everything, there is a literate person like Zhuge Liang next to him, so there is no need to use it in vain.

"This time, a total of fifteen families were raided, with a population of 840 ......"

After Zhuge Liang finished reading, Xiang Yu was also taken aback by Meng Hui's political achievements. Of course, what surprised Xiang Yu even more was that these fifteen nobles actually had nearly 100,000 acres of land.

You must know that this is not a small amount, if it is put in Xiang Yu's previous life, this 100,000 mu of land is as big as a small county town! Even now, I'm afraid that Wu County is so big.

"Hmmm! Not bad! What about these people from these families? Xiang Yu asked.

"Hmmm! According to the king's order, all the men have been killed, and all the women have been used as slaves. Zhuge Liang told truthfully.

"Good! Now a whole 100,000 acres of land. I'm not afraid that the people won't have anything to eat!"

In fact, exterminating all the men in the family, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiang Yu is really ruthless. But only Xiang Yu knows that if these families are not deterred, they will stab themselves sooner or later, and didn't there be a famous saying in his previous life? The spring breeze blows and grows, and the grass must be rooted!

Moreover, this Yuzhang Rebellion is also an excellent opportunity to suppress the family. After all, the teacher is famous, and the matter is handed over to Meng Heng again. Even if the family is not convinced, they dare not stand up and say anything.

Whoever dares to stand up and bump into this muzzle of the gun is really a pure death! After all, the current Jiangdong is the Chu army covering the sky with one hand, who dares to let out half a fart? Those who dare to make trouble will wait for the white knife of the Chu army to enter and the red knife to come out.

"Hmmm! These lands are spread across the counties of Jiangdong and are widely distributed. Just enough to meet the plan for the implementation of the pre-soil reform! Zhuge Liang also said with a smile.

"Good! You draft the paperwork immediately! Let the county guards of each county tell me that these lands should be controlled first, and then inform the people to go to the government territory to plant. As for paying taxes, just collect them according to the previous plan! Xiang Yu said immediately.

"Good! I'll go! Zhuge Liang immediately walked quickly to the Huifu, and according to Xiang Yu's instructions, drafted the documents and handed them to the county guards of each county.

…………

Soon, the six counties of Jiangdong began a wave of land division boom. The so-called land division is actually better than the people renting land from the government. But the price is very cheap. As long as three taels of silver, you can get half an acre of land, and six taels of silver can get one acre of land. If the people have no money, they can also cultivate the land, but they have to pay 30 percent income tax. The rich people only need to pay 15% of the tax, and Xiang Yu naturally gave this system a name - the system of paying money and subrenting.

When the people learned about this, they went to various places to rent land. You must know that the taxes paid in the Qin period reached as much as half of the income. Moreover, since the war, most of the land in Koto has begun to be in the hands of the big families, and the people who have land to cultivate can be said to be very few. And the big families naturally also rent from the people. But its taxes are too onerous, and there is no one who can be self-sufficient. Now, how can you not be happy that you only need to pay two-tenths of your taxes? In just three days, more than 100,000 acres of land were rented by the people of Jiangdong, and the treasury of the Chu army also earned almost one million taels of silver.

Later, there were more than 10,000 people who could not rent land, and after Xiang Yu heard the news, he also reformed overnight, changing the original maximum rent of one mu to a limit of half an mu per household. And the extra money paid by the people, Xiang Yu immediately promised to register it and make up the land for everyone in the future.

When the people have land to cultivate, they are not to mention how happy they are. They also agreed to the government's request. For a time, the people everywhere in Jiangdong once again spread the merits of Xiang Yu and the Chu army.

......................

However, just as the people of Jiangdong were immersed in the joy of land reform. But there was a group of people who couldn't be happy. This group of people is naturally the head of the family.

At this time, Lujiang County, Zhangfu.

"His grandmother's! What the hell is this Yu doing, is he crazy, three taels of silver a year for an acre of land, and he only collects less than two-tenths of the tax? The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Hui complained.

"Yes! In the past few days, countless people have come to retreat from the land, and the hundreds of acres of land under my hands are almost back to my hands as they are! You said that Xiang Yu did this, is there oil and water to fish? ”

"That is, why don't we join forces and fight against Xiang Yu together? How is it? ”

However, as soon as the man's words fell, he was slapped in the back of the head

"! Lei Laosan? Why are you hitting me!? ”

"Huang Laosi, I said that you are the old birthday star who ate arsenic - the danger is too long? Haven't you heard about the fate of the Jiang family? ”

"Yes! Lao Huang, didn't I say that you still dare to go against him Xiang Yu now? This time, the Chu army is famous! Even the Jiang family, the Ji family and other family members were eaten by Xiang Yu in one go.

With just your little property, is it worth the nobles of the six countries? I still want to join forces and go to you, I heard that in the current Yuzhang County, the heads of those big families are obedient to Meng Heng. They are all called Meng Heng Living Hades! If you want to rebel, I won't participate anyway! ”

Immediately, several people began to quarrel.

"Enough! What a system you have! Before I even fought, I messed up first! I saw that it was the old man who was sitting on the main seat in the hall.

As soon as a few people saw the old man speak, they didn't dare to say anything more. Then they sat down again.

"Big brother, is this the end of this matter?" The person who was previously called Huang Laosi immediately asked.

I saw the old man smile treacherously: "How can it be just like that?" What if he is famous? The bright ones can't work, let's go dark! ”

"Huh? Big brother, how did you come to the dark? Several people asked in unison.

I saw that a touch of ruthlessness flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he spit out two words with an expressionless face - assassination!
