"Ha~" Against the early morning sun, Chen Fei yawned loudly.

My body is still sore, and it looks like I'm going to give half of my life in the field today.

Chen Fei grinned and rubbed his shoulders and waist.

Anyone who has worked knows that people who have never worked in the field just feel tired on the first day, and the second day is the most fatal, all kinds of soreness and swelling on the body come up, Chen Fei is now a little uneasy to walk, and he is not tired of twisting a towel when washing his face.

"Coward! Towels are not screwed! Dad couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up and took the towel in Chen Fei's hand, twisted it, and then threw it to Chen Fei.

"Hurry up and wash your face, there is porridge in the pot, put a handful of rice to cook after eating, go to the ground first, and hurry up to help on the ground when the family is done, there are many things today!"

Before Chen Fei could react, Dad walked outside quickly to pack up farm tools and hurriedly went out of the house.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to shout at Chen Fei: "Don't forget to feed the chickens at home!" ”

........

Ay! Chen Fei sighed, wiped his face casually, picked up the porridge in the pot, blew lightly, and drank it slowly.

After drinking the porridge, he fed the chickens at home, added two scoops of rice to the pot, put on the lid of the pot, added two matches to the stove, and reluctantly carried a small hoe to the ground.

He met a lot of villagers along the way, Chen Fei just looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember what the name was.

"Yo! Chen family baby, healed, go to the ground with your father? A fellow smiling at him.

Chen Fei responded very casually: "Yes, the farm work at home is late, and my father is dying." ”

"Mo Shi, everyone is a villager, if your family can't finish the work, we will come to help you when our family is done, if you want to help, you can say at any time, everyone is in a village, you're welcome!"

The people in Guanzhong are simple, as long as there is difficulty, everyone will lend a hand, regardless of the return.

This scene made Chen Fei, who was used to being indifferent to everyone in his previous life and only cared about himself, a little uncomfortable.

"It's... That's embarrassing..."

"Don't make a fuss little baby! Pump you politely with me again! Chen Fei was lightly kicked on the buttocks, and the villagers laughed and carried the hoe to their own ground.

Chen Fei looked at the figure of the villagers who had just gone away, his eyes gradually reddened a little, and he arched his hand towards the villagers in silence, turned around and walked towards his own field.

Is this Datang? Chen Fei looked at the villagers who greeted him along the way, and he didn't know what it was like.

At least in his previous life, he had never enjoyed such treatment.

He was sick, and his wife and son just coped with coming to the hospital to see him, and they didn't care about him at all, they only saw how much money was in Chen Fei's bank card.

But here, it was just the villagers in the neighborhood who made him feel the warmth that he couldn't feel in his wife and children, which really moved Chen Fei.

Datang? Chen Fei looked at the blue sky, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.

It's a good time, he seems to be ...... Kind of fell in love with it.

Of course, it would be nice if the girls were a little more beautiful, the girls here are either fat and strong or hungry and thin, which is a little unacceptable according to Chen Fei's aesthetics......

"Dad, what are you going to do today?" Chen Fei looked at his more than 100 acres of land and was a little desperate.

Yes, you read that right, Chen Fei's family has more than 100 acres of land, don't think this is exaggerated, in fact, this was normal in the early days of the Tang Dynasty.

Why? It seems that you don't know much about history, and like Chen Fei, you almost didn't jump when you first knew that your family had such a big field.

More than 100 acres! This is a windfall in the previous life! How much can an acre of land be exchanged for if it is requisitioned? The government is generally bidding for land, how much can he get... Ahem, that's a bit of a leak......

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, because of years of war and abuse of people's power by the previous dynasty, the population was extremely low.

According to statistics, in the 12th year of Zhenguan, there were only about 10 million people in the country, and the middle-aged men who could be used as laborers had to be discounted by six or seven percent. Of course, this does not include slaves, servants, subordinates, tribes, etc. Even if you count them, there will be no more than 20 million people at most.

But on the contrary, there are too many fields!

How much? Large fields have been turned into wasteland, uncultivated.

Because of the limited labor force of people, especially in this era of rudimentary tools, large tracts of fields are so deserted.

This is a situation that the rulers are very unhappy to see.

Fertile land has become wasteland, which is a waste of resources! What does wasted resources mean? National power declines!

Normally, nothing is fine, but if there is a disaster year or war, what will you do to fill the stomachs of the people of the whole country?

The idea of the common people is very simple, I have food to eat, I will farm honestly, if I have no food to eat, I will be hungry and anxious, and it will be against you.

Why? Because if you follow you to starve to death, it is better to make yourself the king, maybe you can still conquer this world, the so-called emperor takes turns to come to my house this year, so I can only do the opposite!

If someone rebels, things will get bigger.

In the era of cold weapons, the peasant rebellions of all dynasties and dynasties were a very serious matter, which caused turmoil in small cases, the people's livelihood, the productive forces, and the national strength regressed for decades, and the large ones caused the separation of the world and seriously endangered the rule.

As a ruler, the last thing you want to see is this situation, let alone an excellent ruler like Li Shimin.

So in order to cope with this embarrassing situation, they came up with a solution.

What's the solution?

Junda system!

People who have read high school textbooks will have a little influence on this system to a greater or lesser extent, but they are more impressed, and they may not know very much, which is the case with Chen Fei.

However, yesterday, Chen Fei talked to his father after work, and finally had a general understanding of what the Juntian system is.

To put it simply, a man who has reached the age of 18 can get about 100 acres of land, of which 20 acres are Yongye fields, which means that these 20 acres belong to your private land and can be passed on to future generations, but it is not allowed to be bought and sold unless there are special circumstances.

The remaining 80 acres are called Koufen Field, which is allocated to you by the government, and you only have the right to use it, but not the ownership of it, so this distribution is conducive to the reclamation of wasteland.

In Li Shimin's tone: "There are many fields, willful, and I will lose if I plant." ”......

Facts have proved that in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were really too many fields to be planted.

An adult man's 100 acres of land!

You may not have any idea of a hundred acres of land, but that's okay, let's do the math.

In the previous life, a standard football field covered an area of about ten acres, and a hundred acres of land was ten football fields, and one acre of land in the Tang Dynasty was a little smaller than in the previous life, but one hundred acres of land was almost the size of eight football fields.

That's right, such a big piece of land belongs to you, are you happy? Excited? Thinking that Chen Fei would be able to divide 100 acres of land after he was 18 years old, he wanted to die on the ridge......

The ridge is a little hard, why don't you buy a piece of tofu and hit it to death?

Compared with Chen Fei's despair, Dad seemed very happy, and when he took a break on the ridge, he looked at Chen Fei with a sad face and smiled, smiling very happily.

"Coward, what are you crying about? When you grow up, the officials will divide the fields again, and it's a good thing to have more fields! Don't cry! Cry again, Lao Tzu will beat you to death! ”

Chen Fei immediately turned his back to his father, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "I can't live!" Why is my life so miserable......"

Dad......

It is worth mentioning that Chen Fei's grandfather also left 20 acres of Yongye land to the Chen family before he died, that is to say, Chen Fei's family now actually has 120 acres of land......

However, what made Chen Fei feel a little relieved was that not all fields were used to grow food, and the forty acres of Yongye field at home were planted with trees.

Jujube trees, peach trees, plum trees, and elm trees were used as cash crops in previous lives.

Because there are no people in the nearby villages and they don't know how to raise mulberries, no one grows mulberry trees here.

Even so... Eighty acres of land is still a lot!

After complaining with his father for a while, Chen Fei felt a lot more relieved.

Because according to my father, these 80 acres of fields are not all good fields, of which about 20 acres are inferior fields, which are waste fields, no crops can be grown, and fields with very low yields can almost be abandoned.

Although there are few fields in Datang, there are indeed not many fertile fields, and most of them are medium and inferior fields.

Chen Fei's family only has 10 acres of fertile land, and the rest are medium and inferior fields.

Daddy's focus is on these ten acres of fertile land.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty implemented a rotational cultivation system, which means that this field will be planted this year, fallow next year, and continue the year after.

In this era, there was not as much fertilizer to nourish the land in previous lives, so the only way to ensure the yield was to do so.

In this way, there is not as much work to do as imagined, but it is also a lot, at least enough for the Chen family father and son to be busy for a while.

When he was working, Chen Fei was particularly envious of those who had a large family, for example, Lao Hu's family next door had two sons who were about the same age as Chen Fei, and Lao Hu's mother-in-law also went to the ground to help, and the four of them worked more than twice as fast as Chen Fei and his father.

Gas!

Chen Fei also saw the two sons of the old Hu family squeezing their eyebrows at Chen Fei and giggling, and immediately Chen Fei returned a middle finger.

The two stupid sons of the old Hu family were compared by Chen Fei's middle finger, and they looked at each other for a long time and didn't know what it meant.

"Hey, brother, what do you mean by Chen Fei stretching out his middle finger?"

The boss of the Hu family gave his younger brother a slap: "I don't understand what the middle finger means?" You, don't say I'm your brother when you go out in the future! ”

Hu Lao Er was slapped by his brother and was very aggrieved. "Brother, I really don't understand, you understand, you can explain it to me."

"I... I don't understand ...... either."

I don't know what the middle finger means, two hillbillies!

Chen Fei was proud enough in his heart, and found that his father was staring at him behind him with unkind eyes, it seemed that if Chen Fei was lazy for a second, the hoe in his father's hand would wave down at Chen Fei without hesitation.

No way! It's too dangerous! Chen Fei immediately bent down and continued to work with his hoe, so that he could try his best to behave like a good baby, a good baby who would not be beaten......

In addition to growing food, Dad also has to grow beans, green vegetables, corn and other crops, and Chen Fei follows Daddy's ass to follow his example.

Anyway, there is a lot of miscellaneous work, and if you do it, your father will lose......
