Li Zicheng learned from He Xiaomi's mouth that in this house, all the men of Guoji's Youda family have been killed, except for the slaves, only the women in front of the hall remain, and the Guoji family is completely finished.

Such a big mansion can only be regarded as an ownerless thing now, and as long as the Heavenly Mandate Army is willing, it can be levied over completely.

Whether to expropriate the house and what to do with it, don't worry about it for the time being, Li Zicheng wants to see how much grain is stored in the house.

He looked at the women in front of the hall again, and secretly counted them, and there were six of them, although they were all young, but their expressions were different.

The two women in the front, but in their early twenties and less than thirty, are greased and powdered, looking very enchanting, obviously Mrs., should be Guojiyoda's concubine, or daughter-in-law or the like, the four people in the back, can't hide some shyness in fear, belong to the kind of shocked and afraid, it is estimated that it is Guojiyoda's daughter.

Li Zicheng coughed and said: "Your head of the family, Guoji Yoda, dares to instigate the people to make trouble, although you are women, it stands to reason that you will not be implicated, but you are the relatives of Guoji Yoda, you must have instigated in front of Guoji Yoda, a virtuous wife can be a husband, with a woman like you, it is strange that Guoji Yoda does not have an accident!" ”

Mi Lanting translated Li Zicheng's words as they were, and the woman in front suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord, the women didn't do anything, they were all made by the eldest lady......

"Big lady? Who is the Big Lady? Li Zicheng said with a straight face.

The woman said, "Lord Hui, the eldest lady has ...... I've been killed by the soldiers......"

"You deserve it!" Li Zicheng snorted coldly and said, "Even if it's the fault of the eldest lady, don't you have a trace of fault?" He pointed to the kneeling woman, "Look, what kind of clothes are you wearing?" Are these things the result of your own labor? ”

"This ......" The woman was speechless for a moment, she didn't expect Li Zicheng to talk about the clothes she was wearing, and after a while, Fang whispered: "This is all bought by the old man before his death......

Guoji Yoda bought a few clothes for his concubine, of course Li Zicheng would not interfere, Guoji Yoda's guilt was to gather the crowd to rebel, if it wasn't for being too greedy, maybe this would be holding the concubine and covering the kang head......

Li Zicheng wanted to dispel the hatred in the hearts of these women, so he said: "You really didn't instigate in front of Guoji Yoda? ”

"The women really don't," said the kneeling woman, "the eldest lady is in charge of the family, and the women are just ...... It's just a plaything for the old man......"

Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Who are you from Guoji Yoda?" ”

The woman said: "The folk woman is the master's concubine," and pointed to the lady beside her with her hand, and said: "Her name is Lou Jushi, and she is the person of the eldest young master," Speaking of this, she wiped away her tears with a silk handkerchief, and threw a flattering eye at Li Zicheng, twisted her body slightly, and pointed back, "The back are all the daughters of the master, and they haven't passed the door now!" ”

Didn't get through the door? What does that mean? Do you want to bribe yourself with these women? Li Zicheng remained silent and said: "Since you are not at fault, the Governor of Pontus will not embarrass you, let's talk about it, what way out do you have, the Governor of Pontus will make the decision for you!" ”

The woman thought that Li Zicheng was moved, so she raised her eyebrows lightly and said: "The master's daughter, although there are two people who are promised to marry others, but the master's family is not, and it is impossible to come to the marriage, let the governor deal with it!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled secretly, it seemed that this woman encouraged herself to accept the daughter of Gokiyoda, could she have any intentions? He nodded and said, "What should they do, Pontus knows what to do, what about you?" Do you have a home to go back to? ”

The woman pointed to the woman of the eldest young master beside her, pursed her lips and smiled faintly, her eyes flickered, and after a while, she finally said: "She has a home to go back to, but I'm afraid she won't be able to go back......"

"Can't go back?" Li Zicheng said: "Since you have a mother's family, why can't you go back?" ”

The woman ignored Lou Ju's shame and blushed, and said with a smile: "Although she is the eldest young master's person, she has been used by the master, and her mother's family dislikes her, so naturally she can't go back......"

I see! The Yi people also had the fact of picking up ashes, Li Zicheng couldn't help laughing, but said to the woman: "What about you, do you have a home to go back to?" ”

The woman's face suddenly darkened, and she squirmed, but she still said: "The woman was bought by the master, and she doesn't even know her surname......

Li Zicheng nodded, "That's homeless!" "In my heart, I thought that if these women were sent to Zunyi, the prisoners of war would be naturalized when their service expired, and there was just a shortage of women.

Unexpectedly, the woman kowtowed to Li Zicheng and said, "Governor, the women have a request......

Li Zicheng frowned lightly and said, "Request? What request? ”

"The women of the people asked the governor of the capital to allow the women to be housekeepers......"

"Huh?" Li Zicheng's heart moved, this woman is probably not a kind person, maybe she has a leg with the housekeeper, but she is just acting confidential, and others don't know, "If you want to be a housekeeper, it's not impossible, see if you have made meritorious contributions to the Heavenly Mandate Army......"

"Meritorious?" The woman looked up, "Governor, how can a woman of the people make meritorious service?" ”

Li Zicheng stared at her eyes and said slowly: "You are the woman of Guoji Yoda, so you naturally know where the belongings of the Guoji Yoda family are hidden?" ”

"Possessions?" The woman's eyes rolled and hesitated for a moment, but she shook her head, "The Grand Duke, the property is managed by the eldest lady, and the women don't know about it......"

"Since you haven't made meritorious service to the Heavenly Mandate Army, then you can't help it," Li Zicheng's face sank, and he continued: "Even if you don't say it, won't we find it?" Even if you dig three feet into the ground, the governor of Pontus will find out the goods......"

"The Governor ......," the woman panicked, and hurriedly leaned down and said, "The women really don't know where the belongings are hidden...... The women only occasionally saw that the eldest lady went to the side room of the West Wing to fetch her belongings......"

Li Zicheng's face changed, "Even if the governor of Pontus betroth you to the butler, this courtyard will not be rewarded to you, don't be delusional, vainly trying to take the property in the Guoji mansion as your own, if I find out, let alone the dowry to the butler, you will also enjoy it with Guoji Yoda and the Netherworld!" ”

"The women don't dare," the woman kowtowed again, "and the women should know everything......

"Lead the way!" Li Zicheng waved his hand to He Xiaomi, who hurriedly followed the woman with several soldiers.

Lou Jushi saw that the woman had gone, turned around and looked at Guoji Yoda's daughter, bit her silver teeth, and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng, "Dadu Governor, the women know a place where silver is hidden......

"Oh?" Li Zicheng smiled and said, "If what you say is true, the governor of Pontus will not embarrass you, and he will find a good family to marry you in the future!" ”

"The women have thanked the Governor!"

"Get up!" Li Zicheng summoned a few more soldiers to follow her.

At this time, in addition to the pro-soldiers and Mi Lanting in the hall, only the four daughters of Guoji Yoda remained, and the four daughters saw Li Zicheng's gaze sweeping towards them, and they were so frightened that they made a mess, "Dadudu, we really don't know where the money is hidden......

Li Zicheng nodded, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you don't deceive the Governor of Pontus, the Governor of Pontus will not embarrass you......"

After a while, Guoji Youda's concubine and Lou Ju's clan returned to the lobby one after another, and the soldiers who followed found hundreds of taels of silver and thousands of stones of grain under their guidance.

Li Zicheng estimated that a small Jiamu had only more than 100 households under his jurisdiction, and he had so much property, which was already good, so he did not look for it again, but imprisoned these women and the slaves in the house alone, and let the soldiers eat dry food.

Then Shama will inform the people of the village that the head of each household must be present, otherwise they will not have their share in the distribution of land tomorrow.

About half an hour later, the people of the village approached Guoji Yoda's house one after another, and Li Zicheng summoned them outside the lobby.

What made Li Zicheng rush to the strange thing was that there were four or five women mixed in, could it be that the customs of the Yi people, and there are women as the heads of the house? He pointed to the women and gestured to Shama for a day.

Shama was busy one day and said, "Governor, the men of their family...... Just because of the chaos, he was ...... Killed......"

Li Zicheng asked these women to come over, and asked three of them to have men in the family, so he asked them to go back and participate in the distribution of land normally, and the other two women, who had no men at home, left them alone in the backyard and left them behind.

Outside the bright lobby, in addition to the hundred and ten strong men, there are also hundreds of soldiers, which seems very crowded.

Li Zicheng did not give these strong men a seat, firstly, there was no place to sit at all, and there were not enough wooden chairs, and secondly, these strong men had tried to make trouble in the afternoon, so there was no need to be too polite to them.

Li Zicheng glanced at Shama Youri and said, "All families, are there people involved?" ”

One day, Shama bowed down and said, "All the families have someone involved!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Then let's start!" ”

He made a simple speech, which was translated verbatim by Mi Lanting to the people, the main thing was that Gokiyoda intended to seize all the land and tried to incite the people to revolt, and now that Gokiyoda was dead, the land of Daqing Village had returned to the hands of the Mandate of Heaven.

As long as the people are "naturalized as Han and serve God", they can be allocated the corresponding land, 20 mu per ding, and then pay taxes according to the standard of 15 taxes and 1 tax.

In the afternoon, Tang Yuan had already told Sha Ma that it was a day, and Li Zicheng only emphasized: "The laws of the Heavenly Mandate Army must not be changed, and those who dare to resist and make trouble will be killed, just like in the afternoon." ”

The people fell silent.

For every 20 acres of land, the land will belong to them, and the future tax rate will only be 15 taxes and 1, such preferential conditions are enough to make everyone excited.

In the past, when I rented the land of A, because the land was not my own, in addition to paying taxes, I also had to pay rent according to ten taxes and two taxes...... In addition, the people also had to bear the burden of conscription and farm for Jiamu for free, and the Mandate of Heaven Army came to Daqing Village, which really underwent earth-shaking changes......

However, in such preferential conditions, there is a price to pay, and the most annoying thing is "naturalization......
