Chapter 462: Shabby Little County
Gao Jun and Li Shen and Wang Wenchen accompanied Xin Laohan and his son, and went to the nearest county seat to report the salt well with the first salt brick boiled out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xin Laohan's eldest son was a little unhappy when he first went out, and no matter how he said that this salt well was built by their hard work for more than 20 years. Although he was accompanied by two other groups, his face remained gloomy. Fan Ying smiled when she saw it and asked, "Brother Xin, are you reluctant?" ”
He said, "If you are reluctant, you must give up, so as to save people from making irresponsible comments!" Li Shen knew that the kid surnamed Xin was alluding to himself, and he didn't care, just to have some self-cultivation in front of the youngest daughter of Li Tingshi in Liangzhou.
But his father Xin Lao Han doesn't think like this now, and the old man can see that this Gao Gongzi is in favor of them going to the government to report. He believes in Gao Gongzi, then he must go.
Gao Gongzi and his two women are not bad people, the two met in Pingshui, and they not only saved people, but also saved Yanjing, but they didn't even mention the matter of their father and son on the Han River, which already moved Xin Laohan inexplicably.
What made Xin Laohan finally make up his mind was the recent events on the battlefield in Liaodong. In order to defeat Goryeo, the Tang Dynasty gave up from the emperor to the people, and he had nothing to be reluctant to.
The fiasco of the Sui army on the battlefield in Liaodong many years ago still makes his blood boil. He has also been on the battlefield, and while the seven-foot-tall man cares about himself, he should think about the country for a while. He thought that he could no longer live for a few more taels of silver!
After coming out of the Xin family, he had to drill for a long time in the deep mountains before he could get on the road. Xin Laohan originally chose such a place to live, and the original intention was to be less disturbed by the government.
From his house to the southwest is the boundary of Qianzhou, to the southeast is the boundary of Langzhou, and to the north is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. The borders of the three states each end at a high mountain here, and the Xin family is in the col between the three mountains. This place is originally deep in the mountains, far away, and sparsely populated, and almost no people from the government have been here for more than 20 years. But after Shioi reports, it's time for the place to be lively.
In Longyang County, the county magistrate heard that someone had come to report the salt well, but at first he said that he would not believe anything. On the only street in the county, no one rides a donkey all year round. In addition to growing some oranges every year within the county boundary, not to mention any valuable specialties, how can there be such a luxury thing as Yanjing, don't be funny.
The entire Wuling County of Langzhou is also called a county with a shy face, and the governor is also a thorn. However, there are only two small counties in the whole county: Wuling and Longyang. Originally, Wuling County was south of the Yangtze River, and it was supposed to be zoned to Jiangnan Province, but Jiangnan Province didn't look down on this place at all, so it was forced into Shannan Province.
Jiangnan Province is the territory of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, not to mention other places, there are seven large counties in Ezhou alone, one is tight, and the remaining four counties are also the scale of middle and upper counties, and there are many iron mines, copper mines, and silver mines in the area, which are all bought and sold with money.
For the barren land of Langzhou, Jiangnan Province is of course not eye-catching. Otherwise, Qianzhou in the west is far away, why is it assigned to Jiangnan Province across Langzhou? It's not because there are salt wells in Qianzhou!
The two adults, Li and Wang, who accompanied the two county residents today, are said to be officials from Yazhou and Xichuan Yuan, and the Longyang County Commander does not know which gust of wind blew them. There was another white-robed man with an extraordinary bearing, leading two beautiful women who were blind, and the county magistrate Qi of Longyang County, who had ascended from the seventh grade, thought that they were in the wrong place at first.
However, when Xin Laohan and his son put down the package on their shoulders and opened it layer by layer on the table, Qi County Commander saw the square salt brick, and shouted to his subordinates, "Hurry up, go and call the other adults over to discuss the big thing!" ”
When the officials of Longyang County, the Cheng, the chief bo, and the county lieutenant heard the word salt, they all trotted over. This is a major event that has not been encountered in Longyang County for many years, and it is more important than the solar eclipse that occurred two days ago.
The lord of Longyang County, Bo He Dahai, went up from the nine grades. He was originally receiving Lord Bo Liu, the lord of Wuling County, a county that also belonged to his own county, and the two were discussing how to unify their voices and write the situation of the solar eclipse into their respective county records. Hearing that the county magistrate was invited, He Dahai threw down Liu Zhubo and ran out.
Lord Liu Bo saw the officials of Longyang County running over, and mysteriously bit his ears with Lord He, and then Lord He ran away without saying anything about the eclipse, even ignoring the official body, he was very curious, and quietly followed to see.
Qi County Ling asked the father and son of the Xin family, "Are you sure that you are the citizens of this county?" Do you want to report the salt well? Think about it, don't talk nonsense, there is no joke! ”
Fan Ying took it and said, "The salt is placed here, can there be a fake?" We have two adults from Xichuan Temple and Yazhou here, why don't you believe it? ”
Xin Laohan said, "My lord, anyway, our family has been living in that place for twenty years, if you don't recognize me as a citizen of Longyang County, then we will go to other counties to report." As he spoke, he reached out to the table to wrap the salt bricks.
Qi County Ling leaned over and pounced on the salt brick, "Presumptuous, you have to leave before the county's words are finished and finished." As he spoke, the lord Bo and the county lieutenant stepped in.
The county magistrate said to them loudly, "Lord He, immediately check the household registration of the Xin family, and be sure to include them in this county...... Lord Wang, you quickly bring all the manpower to the county boundary where the Xin family's address is located, and you must firmly divide the salt well into the jurisdiction of Longyang County, and there must be no mistakes! ”
The two listened, and one of them pounced on Xin Laohan, asking how many people in the family, how many men and women, how old they were, and where they moved from in the first place, and directly wrote what they asked into the case file; One of them pounced on Xin Laohan's eldest son and asked him to lead the way to demarcate the border.
After settling down the people, Qi County Ling remembered to entertain these people who came with him. After the two sides met one by one, Gao Jun asked, "Lord Qi, it is really an eye-opener in Xia, your county can have such a high office efficiency, it is really impressive!" ”
Qi County Ling was a little embarrassed, "It's all poor knowledge!" Even the birds flew over from Longyang County, and they had to endure throwing their dung to Jiangnan Road. I really can't imagine that as soon as a few distinguished guests arrived, such a good thing came to this county! The official's official voice will also be heavily written in the county chronicle. ”
He said, not to mention Yanjing, Longyang County does not even have a decent piece of good land that can grow some grain. According to the Datang Decree Law, the land should be measured by the number of steps. The width of the land is one step, and the length of the land is two hundred and forty steps for one acre, and one hundred acres is one acre. All Tang people were newly born as Huang'er, after the age of four as a child, after the age of sixteen they were renamed as Zhongren, at the age of twenty-one they were called Ding, and at the age of sixty they were old.
According to the system of granting land, each ding should be divided into one hectare, of which 20 acres are Yongye fields, 80 acres are mouth fields, the elderly can be divided into 40 acres, and the widows can also be divided into 30 acres.
Qi County ordered, "But how can there be so much land in Longyang County!" Don't say 240 steps, look, I don't have 240 steps on the streets of Longyang County! We're here in a narrow country! ”
Fan Ying asked, "What is a narrow township?" ”
"There is a lot of land in the county, and there is enough land for the county people to distribute, that is, Kuanxiang. The land is not enough to divide the narrow township. According to the law, narrow townships can be granted land according to half of the wide townships. But half of me is not enough! In many hillside places, even trees can't grow straight, and oranges can't grow, let alone grow grain. (To be continued.) )
