Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Divide the fields! Divide the fields! Come and gather at the head of the village. ”

The deafening sound of gongs accompanied by shouts resounded in the small village, and everyone who heard the sound walked out of their homes and towards the head of the village.

"Name?"

"Li Daniu."

"Birthday?"

"The fifth day of the third month of the twenty-seventh year of Longxing."

……

A small official took a pen and paper to record the information of the head of the household, Li Daniu, and Li Daniu's family, and said to Li Daniu: "Li Daniu, your family has a total of five people, three adults, and two children, and a total of 40 acres of Putian. ”

"Forty acres, forty acres." Hearing that his family could get forty acres of land, Li Daniu kept muttering, and finally cried excitedly.

In this era, most people rely on farming for a living, and the importance of land to farmers can be imagined.

This is just a scene that happened in a certain village in Zezhou, and there are many, many more things like this.

Since Yun Yuankai served as the governor of Zezhou, the entire Zezhou has been operating in an orderly manner.

During the period before the New Year, after the main officials of the counties and counties in Zezhou were in place, the first thing they did was to select some people from the locals to serve as small officials, and with these local small officials, plus the third division of the Yunjia Army, which had been transformed into a city defense force in various places, the officials quickly controlled the cities. (In addition, some of the students who graduated from Yunhua County Elementary School were also arranged to take up various positions in various places.)

The city is under control, but there are many more towns and villages outside the city.

According to Yun Yuankai's instructions, officials in various localities ordered them to go down and move around, and issued notices to the common people in various towns and villages, saying: "After the year, the government will divide the fields among everyone, regardless of gender, ten acres of general land for adults and five acres of general land for children." ”

After hearing this notice, the common people walked around one after another to inquire about the truth of this matter.

"Divide the land" This is an incredible thing for the common people, they have lived for decades, or the first time they encountered this kind of thing, for a while, those old people do not know whether this matter is true or false, but some people think that this matter is true, after all, this matter is a notice from the government, and it will not be faked casually.

Owning a land of his own is something every tenant dreams of.

In the expectation of the people of Zezhou, the New Year has passed, and the "adults" who have divided the fields for them have finally come.

Before dividing the land, it is also necessary to record the identity information of the people, which is a bit cumbersome, and it is difficult for some people to tell their information clearly, but in order to share the land, these people are also racking their brains to recall.

When the identity information was registered, the fields were distributed to the people, and some old farmers knelt in their fields and wept.

The field is the foundation of a family (clan), without the field, the family is as if there is no root, I don't know when it will be broken, those businessmen who started to do business will buy a large piece of land after earning a lot of money, those landlords will take out the money to buy more land when they have extra money in their hands, all kinds of everything highlights the importance of land, small family, everyone is the same.

It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Dali Empire, when the country was founded, the common people could still get a share of the land, but after that, the land in the hands of the common people was taken away by the big landlords and small landlords by various means, and even the family was ruined, and the land in the hands of the common people was quickly gathered into the hands of the landlords, and the common people became tenants of the landlords and lived by renting the landlords' land.

In normal years, the tenants can still live, but if there is a disaster year, countless people are starved to death, and the landlords do not care about the life or death of the tenants, and when this group of tenants dies, there will be new tenants.

The common people want to regain the land, there is only one way left - open up the wasteland, but the land obtained after the land is cleared, it will not be long before the landlords forcibly seize it, which seriously hits the enthusiasm of the people to open up the land to obtain new land, and finally makes the people become numb and honestly rent the landlord's land.

Now, everything has changed, the government has taken the initiative to distribute land to the people, not one or two acres, but dozens of acres, the more people in the family, the more land allocated, some families are eager to have a few more children, then their families can have more land, and some people are already thinking about having more children.

While getting their own land, the common people did not forget to thank the government, and the officials also pointed out who allocated the land to them: it was Yun Yi, the ruler of Zezhou, Yun Yi, the head of the Yun clan, not the court of the Dali Empire.

The people's thoughts are very simple, whoever is good to them, they will thank whom, the common people have set up immortal tablets for Yunyi in their homes, and prayed to the heavens for Yunyi to live a long life.

Yun Yi couldn't cry or laugh after knowing this, he was already a congenital martial artist, no accident, Yun Yi's lifespan is more than one hundred and twenty years, which is more than a hundred years old, the common people pray to the heavens to let Yun Yi live a long life, isn't this to let Yun Yi reduce his life?

For example, the government levied only one kind of tax on the common people who lived by farming - agricultural tax, or one tax of ten, which would only be reduced and not increased in the future; The common people can only have a maximum of 100 acres of land under their names, in addition to the fields allocated by the government, the common people can also rent public land from the government, or they can open up new fields by themselves, and the ownership of the fields is in the hands of the people themselves, and they can be passed from father to son, but this part of the field is also within the limit of 100 acres.

Yun Yi deeply understands a truth, water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, although there are warriors in this world, but warriors are not absolute, the Bright Sect can sweep the world not by martial artists, but by the hundreds of thousands of bright soldiers who are not afraid of death, it is because of them that the Bright Sect can have today's trend.

If the emperor of the Dali Empire understood the importance of the common people and effectively protected the rights and interests of the common people, then even if the clans rebelled together, the common people would resist the clans together, and it would not be like now, those numb people easily joined the army to fight on the battlefield under the propaganda of the Bright Sect or the clans.

It is very difficult to make everyone like a dragon, but it is still easy for the common people to understand who is good to them and who is bad to them, who they should listen to, and who they should dislike, coupled with the education of the next generation, as time goes by, Yunyi will gain a large number of ordinary people who are loyal to him.

Note 1: The land allocated by the government to the common people is allowed to be bought and sold, but there are many restrictions, the ultimate ownership of the land is in the hands of the government, and the common people buy and sell the land with each other, and the field also has a time limit, and the time limit is calculated by the life and death of the original owner of the field, if the original owner dies, the field is to be recovered, and this kind of regulation makes the field transaction greatly reduced.
