Chapter 11 The Acquisition of Land

Gao Jin didn't expect that he had just taken over the news from Lu Lian the day before, so he explained everything, and the next day he received a letter from Gongzi Yan.

γ€ŽWant the fiefdom news of the old clan of Jianyang, what does this mean?! γ€—

Gao Jin has never been the one who makes trouble for Uncle Qin, and what he can handle over the years will never let Uncle Qin decide, so he has been the great attendant for so long.

This matter is curious about the intention of His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, but Xuan even sent the little attendant beside him to the "Taishitai" and "Zongfu Taimiao" to get the corresponding books.

It took many days to find these books to be simple, because the local household system of the Great Qin Dynasty was often recorded in bamboo slips with only a few sentences, such as "In four years, the seal of the doctor was laid out in the five hundred hectares of Jianyang" and so on.

That is to say, in the fourth year of the first dynasty, Qin Bo sealed 500 hectares of land to the doctor Gou, and one hectare was twelve and a half acres according to the old system (where the field is one acre and twelve and a half acres. - "The Legend of the Ram: The Fifteenth Year of Xuan Gong").

Gao Jin simply packed these books and Janes together and gave them to His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, anyway, I don't know His Highness's intentions for the time being, and these books and slips also more or less recorded the merits of these feudal lords for receiving the reward.

This is simply not tight, hundreds of bamboo slips have been sorted out before and after, and Gao Jin has brought them all to Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan was also stunned when he saw these books, first of all, the words recorded on these books are quite complicated, which is also related to the location of Daqin, at the junction of the Central Plains and the land of Jingchu, and it is also the influence of the intersection of the Central Plains culture and Jingchu culture, Bashu culture, and the barbarian customs of Longdi, so the current situation of Daqin looks more like a melting pot.

In Southern Qin, the currency on the market is the cloth coin from the Sanjin Dynasty, the knife coin of the Qi State, the ant nose coin of the Chu State, and even the Northern Qin Yuan Coin and the local currency of Bashuyong are all circulated in small quantities in the Daqin trading field, and the impact of the currency confusion caused by the currency system is that many places in Daqin still maintain the barter trading method.

The transaction currency is like this, and so is the writing of Daqin, which was originally written in ancient languages from the Ji and Zhou dynasties more than 100 years ago, that is, the Jin script that is very similar to the current Three Jin Dynasty, but even the Jin script has changed a lot in the past hundred years, and there are relatively few cultural classics brought out from the Northern Qin, so the writing of Daqin is gradually filled with the languages of various countries.

Sanjin script, Qilu script, Jingchu script, Bashuyong script, and private characters in various places have caused the same character in Daqin to reach several or dozens of different fonts, and what's more, there was a very famous event in Daqin, that is, the official text actually appeared The totem imprint used by the Longdi barbarians!

Even Lin Yuyan, who received the elite education of the winning surname Lin, was not able to know all of these words, let alone Han Kui from the Central Plains.

There was no way, so I could only start to find the enclosed acres of the old clan from them sentence by sentence.

It's a thing that can't be helped.

And the reason why Lin Yuyan cares so much about the old clan's land is nothing more than to receive all the land outside the old clan of Jianyang into the Lin clan's land.

With the new farm tools, the current 10,000 acres of land in the Lin clan may not be enough for the people surnamed Ying in the Lin clan's land.

Therefore, the clan land naturally needs to be expanded, and Lin Yuyan is aiming at those borderless lands, but those old clans are not conscious, and annexing land has become a trend.

For example, there are only two largest households in Jianyang, the Gou family and the Ju family, and the fiefdom of these two families is about 800 hectares.

But now, according to Lin Yuyan's knowledge, the Gou clan's clan land includes mausoleums, fields, hunting grounds, mountains and forests, etc., which have reached more than 3,000 hectares, and these are still on the surface.

Thorn Yang is like other old clans, and there are not a few people with more than 1,000 hectares of land in the clan.

And this can be regarded as a large amount of more than the scale of the clan land surnamed Lin.

Of course, the population of the Lin clan is more than 5,000 people, but there are less than 2,000 people with the surname Ying, and more than 1,000 of them are craftsmen who Lin Yuyan has risen from his affiliation, and as for the remaining 2,000 people, most of them are convicts.

Rao is the largest old clan in Jianyang, the Gou clan and the Ju clan, the children of the Ju clan are mostly soldiers, and the clansmen who stay in Jianyang are very young, regardless of it, the population in the Gou clan is developed, and the clansmen alone are thousands of people, and the subordinate people under it are naturally not in the minority.

But no matter what, it is impossible to exceed the scale of the Lin family, so the problem comes, there are so many people with the surname Lin, and the land that can be governed is only a thousand hectares, and an old clan like the Gou family actually has 3,000 hectares on the surface.

It is not difficult to know that most of the real estate of the old clan is by no means used for farming, but for thick burials and field hunting.

Lin Yuyan was aiming at the places outside the acres of land that these old clans had been enclosed, and originally Lin Yuyan still wanted to go to ask for these places on behalf of the Lin clan with the surname Win, but was blocked by Han Kui.

"Your Highness, as a prince, why should you offend those old clans yourself?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan told the truth: "Didn't I tell Mr., I was eyeing those places from the beginning, and it was a pity that the great fields were used as [Thousand Mu Tombs and Hundred Miles of Hunting Grounds]!" ”

Han Kui said: "Your Highness has misunderstood what Kui meant, this matter does not need His Highness to come forward, those fields, the old Qin clan must also be handed over." ”

"Oh!" Lin Yuyan raised his eyebrows, and then asked Han Kui, "Han Zi has a good plan?" ”

Han Kui nodded: "Kui already has some understanding of the Great Qin Dynasty these days, and there are three people in Wancheng who can help with this matter." ”

"Hanzi, please speak!"

"Zong Bo Lin Yuanshen, Tai Shi Xia Wu Timid, and the Doctor is frustrated!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan smiled bitterly: "Han Zi said that I am laughing, I have never been close to courtiers, and I have never had a friendship......

Han Kui interrupted Lin Yuyan's words and said, "Your Highness, this matter only considers the benefits and disadvantages, and does not focus on Your Highness's friendship. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The annexation of land by the old clan is beyond the etiquette system, and the Taimiao of the Zongfu is a place of strict etiquette, and Zongbo Lin Yuanshen can come forward as the Zongfu. Tai Shi Xia is not timid and upright, and he will speak up about such injustices. The doctor is in charge of etiquette in the court. These three people can all be used, and the public opinion of the court at that time forced the Zongfu to deal with this matter, otherwise, the etiquette that the Zongfu relied on for survival could not be taken into account, and there was no need for the Zongfu to exist! ”

That's true! γ€—

Lin Yuyan said firmly in his heart, he understood that the gun shot the first bird, if he jumped out, I am afraid that the spearhead of the old clan would be aimed at himself!

After reaffirming Han Kui's political talent, he accepted Han Kui's suggestion and wrote a few copies of this matter and passed it to the Zongfu Taimiao, Taishitai, and Shangdafu's mansion.

Even if the Zongfu Taimiao wants to calm things down and ignore this matter, I am afraid that the upright Taishi Xia is not afraid of his own frustration in taking care of the etiquette law, and even the ministers of criminal law such as Si Kou Shen and Shangfu Ke are afraid that they will not be able to tolerate this kind of sand in their eyes.

At the moment, Lin Yuyan felt that it was time to explain the matter to his father, after all, as the son of the Lin family, it was understandable to ask for an increase in the territory of the clan land, and I believe that the father would not object.

Sure enough, on the fifteenth day of the Ten Dynasty, Taishi Xia was not afraid to discuss this matter.

Hearing this, Qin Bo's expression was stunned, and Gao Jin next to him also had a somewhat abnormal complexion.

If you remember correctly, a few days ago, His Royal Highness Yan, the inner son of the Lin clan, sent a letter stating that he wanted to expand the clan land surnamed Lin.

At that time, Qin Bo and Gao Jin also said that the fields of Jianyang were all occupied by the old clan, where did they come from to expand the clan land?

I didn't expect that there would be such a suggestion today, if there was no connection in this matter, Gao Jin would not believe it, and Uncle Qin would not believe it.

"Have you ever checked it?!" Qin Bodao.

Xia Wuti replied: "In the past few days, the supervision history of Taishitai has found out the number of fiefs of the old clan of Jianyang from various books, which is indeed inconsistent with the status quo!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Jin was even more surprised in his heart, because some time ago, His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan asked him for the sealed acres of the old clan of Jianyang, and he was shocked at the moment, I am afraid that this matter has something to do with His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan!

Then the doctor also said: "Your Majesty, as Taishi said, I am afraid that the actions of the old clan are not in line with the etiquette and law. ”

Qin Bosao asked the ministers, "What do you think?" ”

Si Kou Shen's case came out and said: "Your Majesty, you should investigate this matter and take care of the criminal law!" ”

Sikong Ming Zifu said: "Tian Mu is the foundation of the country, it must be investigated, and the reputation of the old clan is taken into account, and this matter must be explained to the old clan!" ”

Sikong Ming Zifu's words have already made the courtiers from the old clan of Jianyang have nothing to say, such as the scholar Gou Wushe, who is the clan leader of the Gou clan of Jianyang, just wanted to say that this matter is about the face of the old clan, but it was blocked by Ming Zifu, if you don't check, how can you correct the name of the old clan? !

At that moment, Gou Wushi's heart moved slightly, and he glanced at his mastermind, and it was His Royal Highness Gongzixin who helped him say a few words, but Gongzixin didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't look at it here.

Looking at this court, now Gou Wushe understands that the old clan and the winning surname Lin have been tug-of-war for many years, and they have fallen into the upper hand above this court, among the four Shangqing, Situ Bailihuai and Sikong Ming Zifu are all from the scholar clan, Xia Wuti is a generation of inheritance, and it is impossible for him to be partial to the family decision, the only one who was born in the old clan Si Kou Shen case, but also a master whose mind can't turn around!

At that moment, Qin Bo said: "Choose someone to go to Zongfu Taimiao, let Zongbo go to find out about this matter, as Zhu Qing said, the acres outside the fief will be handed over!" ”
