"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, cough cough 。。。。。。" The old village chief pressed his hands down and said loudly, wanting to calm everyone down.

It's just that everyone doesn't seem to be very face-saving, just a little quieter.

The old village chief shook his head helplessly, and decided to go straight to the point, and the province brought humiliation on himself, "Old man, I have been the village chief for decades, and I can't do it anymore." In the future, let Qin forget to be the village head. Do you disagree? Ahem。。。。。。 ”

After hearing his words, people suddenly looked like a rooster choked by the neck, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

It was quiet for a while.

"yes, this old thing should have stepped down a long time ago, why didn't we think about it." It was Aunt Shi who was the first to attack the old village chief, and she always hated the old village chief the most.

"That's it, how good it is to forget my brother, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death if I don't forget my brother this time, I agree!" Aunt Duan also said.

"It's decided, who doesn't accept me and I don't open her mouth!" The fat aunt crossed her bucket-thick waist, and her small eyes stared at everyone viciously.

There was no need for the fat aunt to threaten, and a voice of approval sounded one after another, and everyone was eager to get rid of the old village chief immediately, and let Qin forget to go up and say a few words of encouragement to everyone.

The old village chief felt a little cold, but he was quickly relieved.

Isn't that exactly what you want? Whether it is a flock of sheep or a pack of wolves, when the leader is old, it is natural to replace it with a younger and stronger one. Only in this way can the whole group survive better.

The old village chief was silent, just silently looking at the villagers who had lived together all their lives below. The scenes of the past are drifting by like smoke, this is the last time I will meet everyone, right?

Thinking of this, the old man's eyes showed a sense of relief.

After a long time, the old village chief slowly turned around with his body bent, the morning sun was red and bright, and when he turned around, his low-hanging face was smeared with a bright red look, which looked so solemn and solemn.

There was a sudden silence as the people looked at the old man embracing the sun. The sun shone brightly on his front, but his back was slightly dim, and in this light and darkness, everyone felt the sadness of the hero's twilight. Many people feel a little sorry for the old village chief during this time, and he gave the order to go into the mountains to hunt, but it was also forced by reality. Qinjia Village was cut off, and if you didn't fight, you would starve to death. It's just that no one thought that forty-five young men would disappear so cleanly.

In fact, everyone has long understood that the old village chief is not to blame for all this, but who is to blame? Blame God? Blame the court? Blame the official mansion? These are things that the villagers cannot touch, and they are also unrealistic. They can only find the old village chief to vent their anger and sorrow, maybe this is the nature of people to bully the weak and fear the hard, but the reality is like this.

In everyone's attention, the old village chief staggered slowly towards home, like walking into the sun step by step.

Qin Forget stood on the stone mill and watched the old village chief slowly disappear around the corner with the help of his eldest mother. The rickety, thin figures of the old couple deeply pierced his heart, and the two elders have recently borne too many unwarranted reproaches and grievances. During this time, the whole village owed them, and Qin Forget still recalled the sad back of the village chief just now, so helpless and sad.

"Boss, everyone is waiting." Seeing that Qin forgot to lose his mind, Yang Er reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Qin Forget hurriedly gathered his mind and looked at the 90 villagers below. They stood there quietly, and even during the time when he was distracted, none of them spoke or even exchanged ears, just looked at Qin Forget with eager eyes. Especially Qin Qing, the excitement and adoration in his eyes seemed to melt Qin Wang.

Qin Forget smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone carry love, let me be the village chief at a young age." Here, I swear by my deceased parents that if I have a bite to eat, I won't let any of you go hungry. ”

He didn't say it with much arrogance and eloquence, but he swore by his parents, which shows Qin Wang's sincerity.

"Good! You can say that again! Everyone applauded, and the warm atmosphere quickly reached a climax.

"However, if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle. I will immediately announce a few rules, whether it is the new official who takes office with three fires, or whether it is shaking the official authority, if you are not willing to abide by these rules, I will abdicate immediately, and you will be wise. Qin Wang's expression changed, and he said.

People were silent for a moment, for thousands of years, how could Qinjia Village say "rules"? What is followed on a daily basis is nothing more than the morals and customs that everyone acquiesces in. However, everyone firmly believes that forgetting his brother will not harm him.

"Brother Forget, oh no, village chief. If you have something to say, you can say it, the rules are the rules, whoever doesn't want to be controlled can leave Qinjia Village and be free outside. You're right? Aunt Xiu raised her arm to everyone and shouted loudly.

At the critical moment, Aunt Xiu immediately came out to cheer Qin Wang.

"That's it, whoever doesn't want to get out of Qinjia Village! It's enough to starve to death eight times outside. Aunt Duan immediately understood and said helpfully.

"We have food and drink in Qinjia Village, who doesn't want to be a fool!" Aunt Stone is not stupid either, and follows closely.

With the support of the three most authoritative women in the village, the villagers below immediately expressed their approval of Qin Wang.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, then I'll just say it, after talking today, if you don't understand anything, Aunt Xiu and Qin Qing will explain it carefully to everyone. I hope you must remember that if you make a mistake, no matter who you are, you will be punished. Qin Forget nodded appreciatively to Aunt Xiu and them, with a solemn expression.

"Article 1, household registration. In our village, the household registration is very chaotic now, some families have a few adult strong women, and some families only have old and weak people. It is now stipulated that everyone automatically forms pairs. Any elderly person and child must be taken care of. If I find that there are old people and children left, then the woman who takes care of the least old people and children will be driven out of the village. Once the pair is formed, it will be numbered. ”

"Article 2 is the equal distribution of the means of production and life. After the household is compiled, all the production and living tools of the whole village are concentrated and distributed evenly according to the number of people. Considering each person's strengths, you can give priority to the tools you can use. ”

"Article 3, distribution according to work. Abolish the current system of common food, and in the future, households will be used as units to hunt and fish alone, and 60% of the harvest will go to the village, and the fourth layer will go to themselves. Therefore, I would like to advise everyone to form a reasonable group here, so as not to have the situation that the existing people can't eat and some people don't have enough to eat. Sixty percent of the money returned to the village will be used for the construction of the village and the purchase of other necessities such as salt and grain. After the goods are bought, they are distributed to everyone according to the amount of goods handed in. Rest assured, I will make a detailed bill, and you can come and check it at any time. However, if someone secretly hides their harvest and wants to pay less, once discovered, the first punishment will be confiscated for one day's harvest, the second time for three days, and the third time the person concerned will be driven out of Qinjia Village. ”

"Article 4: Recruiting immigrants. Now there is a shortage of people in our village, especially young and strong laborers. I thought twice about it, and I was going to go outside and recruit innocent and dignified people to enrich the village. They will also be registered, enjoy the same rights and bear the same obligations as the people of their own village. For the time being, they will be placed in those ownerless houses in the village, and they will not disturb everyone. ”

"Article 5, no xenophobia. Our village has been closed for too long, and in the future, these immigrants will move into our village, and I hope that everyone can treat them as if they were from my own village. They share the fruits of our labor, but they are also creating more wealth for us. They ate one of our fish, but they were able to bring us a basket. And it's keeping us safe. Those who insult or bully outsiders are expelled from the village if the circumstances are serious. In the same way, if they dare to bully you, they will be kicked out. ”

"Article 6, Freedom to marry. The people of our Qinjia Village are bitter, and the women of Qinjia Village are even more bitter. The sisters-in-law and aunts here have no men, but we still have to live a good life, and we have to live a better life. In the future, there will definitely be many single young people in Qinjia Village, as long as both parties are willing, they can get married, and no one can obstruct them. Of course, if someone destroys the code of ethics and does that kind of thing, regardless of men and women, they will be driven out of Qinjia Village after parading through the streets. ”

"Article 7, Sharing of forced labor. Where there is a big construction plan in the village, the villagers between 14 and 50 must contribute regardless of gender. Rewards and punishments are still given on a household-by-household basis, according to the completion of the task by each household. All food and lodging during the period of conscription were borne by the village. Now I'm going to develop that big basin in the Taihang Mountains, and I'll be using this one soon. I want to start with a field and plant wheat in the spring. Yang Da said, that piece of land has accumulated I don't know how many years of dead branches and leaves, fat and oil, there must be something to grow. ”

"Article 8, women also have the right to manage the affairs of the village. Our village is now full of women, and women have held up half the sky in everything, and in the absence of enough strong labor, women have played a greater role for a long time. Therefore, I don't care what happens in other places in Dayan, here, in our Qinjia Village, the status of women and men is as important. From today onwards, if anyone dares to bully a woman, the person concerned will directly break his hands and feet and drive him out of Qinjia Village. ”

"Article 9, Land Policy. In the future, everyone will go to reclaim wasteland together, and the village will also be divided into four or six, and the village will be six. In the first three years, 40 per cent of the output is paid, after three years it is 20 per cent, and after 10 years it is not required. ”

"Article 10, the establishment of village soldiers. The members of the village corps do not have to work, but they enjoy the same treatment as everyone else, and they are usually responsible for the security of the village, such as patrolling, fighting bandits, catching thieves, etc. Of course, it also includes some production tasks, such as going out to buy, hunting, etc. For the time being, the personnel are me, Yang Da, Yang Er, and Aunt Duan. ”

There were ten in total, and everyone was stunned. For this group of simple and even a little ignorant mountain people, although many of them didn't understand, they knew in their hearts that they were all big things, and it was a great deal to take them out casually. Especially the piece of land, as long as the four achievements are reclaimed, it is their own, although they have to pay forty percent of the public grain in the first three years, but to be honest, it is really too little compared to the seventy percent of the Great Yan Dynasty. What's more, after three years, it will be 20%, and after 10 years, there will be no need to pay at all, no matter how good it is, people can't recover from the shock.

Qin Forget looked at the villagers below, and didn't feel strange at all about their reactions. It was the first time that such a major event had happened in the village that had been quiet for so many years, so it was no wonder that they were not shocked.

"Alright, let's all go back. I will write out these rules and post them at the head of the village, if you don't understand anything, feel free to ask Qin Qing about them. Go back and find a member of the household you know well, and I will reply in three days. After Qin forgot to finish speaking, he walked down the stone mill quickly.

At this time, people woke up like a dream, some were surprised, some were worried, some were disapproving, some were disapproving, some were thoughtful, some were at a loss, and there were thousands of expressions. It's just that everyone didn't expect it, or Qin Forget didn't realize what far-reaching significance today's simple and casual meeting would have for Qin Wang, Qinjia Village, and even the whole world in the near future.
