Chapter 10 Land Disputes

The news of the collapse of Song Taiqiu's society and Xu Ding's loss not only set off a monstrous wave in the Song Kingdom, but also exclaimed outside the Song Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Historians from various countries have recorded this historical fact of great significance. All countries began to doubt Zhou's destiny, and neighboring powers began to covet Song's land, and the subsequent shocks would continue for a long time.

However, all this has nothing to do with Dai Yan in Fengyi for the time being, because after the collapse of Taiqiu Society, the heavy rain that has lasted for many days has finally stopped, and the flood that ravaged Fengyi has finally begun to recede. Without the heavy rain, the people of Fengyi are about to start their lives again, and Dai Yan is starting to get busy.

If the flood recedes, what will be the busiest for the people? That must be a land grab.

The four great civilizations in history all originated on both sides of the great rivers, but not all of them were able to produce developed civilizations. Just as ancient Chinese civilization originated in the Yellow River Valley, why didn't ancient Chinese civilization originate in the Yangtze River and Pearl River? For example, the Yellow River floods almost every once in a while, and this devastating disaster has destroyed people's savings for many years, and it is reasonable to say that the tame Yangtze River and the Pearl River should have more accumulation, and should also be the most advanced civilization, why in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Yangtze River and Pearl River basins were still a wilderness?

Actually, it has to do with the flood. The flood will destroy houses and villages, but it can also bring soft sediment from the bottom of the river, which is rich fertilizer, which greatly increases the fruits of farming, so that agricultural civilization can truly evolve. Ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient China are all examples of this, and all the legends of these four civilizations have accounts of the Great Flood.

If it were specific to local families and individuals, things would not have been so rosy. As soon as the flood waters receded, the people began to scramble to plant crops on their land, but disputes over land made things not so simple.

"Childe, something is wrong." On this day, when Dai Yan was practicing his sword in the mansion of Doctor Yi, Tang Yan came in in a panic and said.

"If there's anything urgent, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." Dai Yan retracted his sword from its scabbard and spoke slowly.

"Childe, there was a dispute between Le's and Muhammad's because of the land, and now it's about to fight. Although the villain has already asked someone to persuade them, the villain estimates that the patriarch of the Le clan and the Mu clan will be dispatched soon, and the villain does not dare to guarantee that they will not fight at that time. Tang Ying said with a worried face.

"Since it is a land dispute, then there must be a land boundary before, isn't it good to divide it according to the land boundary, why is there such a dispute?" Dai Yan said curiously.

"Childe, this is what you don't know, now there are indeed land boundaries between the miles and even the families, and a small part of those land boundaries are larger than the stakes, and most of them are separated by the ridges between the fields, but when the flood comes, not to mention that the ridges are so submerged that they can't be seen clearly, even the stakes that are destroyed by the flood are also everywhere, so there will be disputes. Now there are not only disputes between each family, but also conflicts within each family. The land is the lifeblood of the people, and the people have to fight for their lives for this inch by inch, how can the villain not be in a hurry? Tang replied.

"Okay, let's go and have a look, so that it doesn't get too big." Dai Yan also felt that things like this were not trivial and must be handled carefully.

On the shore of Surabaya, two groups of people are facing each other around a field, surrounded by a large number of onlookers.

"Le Xin, you Le clan people gathered here to prevent us Mu people from farming, why is this?" The leader of the confrontation was the first to speak, but it was Mu Zhu, the patriarch of the Mu clan who was newly appointed by Dai Yan as the Sikong of Fengyi.

"The land here was originally my Le's disciples, and you Mu clansmen dare to use strong words and rob my Le's land?" The land here is one of the two miles owned by the Le's Shangle Li, and now there is a conflict between the children of the Le family and the children of the Mu family, and Le Xin naturally has to help him get ahead.

"Where could this land be your Le's? For a long time, the land of our Mu clan and your Le's clan has been bounded by the riverside tree, but now that the flood has come, the original riverside tree has also been washed away by the water, so naturally it is impossible to judge the original boundary between you and me. However, the land of my Mu children was originally 100 acres of square fields, and now it is 100 acres of inclined fields (trapezoidal), and the fields of my Mu children are 100 steps east and are back to the fields of my other Mu children. ”

"We're vexatious? The original field of my Le's children was 150 acres of square fields, but now the flooded places are full of potholes, and their shapes are irregular, and it is impossible to know their size. However, if the land is divided according to the law of demarcation of your Muhammad's family, the land of my Le's children should be less than 120 acres, so my Le's loss will not be big? It is providential for the flooding of the fields, but you Muhammad only want us to suffer the loss, how can this be the case? Le Xin retorted.

Mu Zhu was speechless for a while, in fact, he had no choice. You must know that land is the lifeblood of farmers, and without land, it may not be possible to produce enough food, and if you don't get enough food, it may be that the farmers behind him are starving. The small people have always been relatively simple, but no matter how simple a person is, when facing his own vital interests, he will never respect gentleness and frugality like the "gentlemen", but absolutely baht.

Counting down nearly 200 years in this era, a woman in Wu found that a girl from Chu was also picking mulberry leaves on the mulberry tree on the border of Wu, Chu Beiliang and Zhongli, so the woman of Wu relied on her old strength to stop the girl of Chu and teach her a lesson; The family of the girl of Chu was so angry when she learned the news: You barbarians of Wu State even dared to bully us Chu people, so they took their own family members to Beiliang of Wu State and killed all of Wu Nu's family; After Dr. Wu Guobei Liang learned the news, he rushed to the territory of the family in Chu without saying a word, and directly wiped out the family, and then felt that he still didn't understand his hatred, so he started to kill, and finally broke through Zhongli County; Zhong Lishou was so frightened that his soul did not possess his body, and he ran back to Yingdu overnight to report to King Chuping, and King Chuping was not ambiguous, and then ordered a large army to kill Beiliang directly, and directly destroyed this border of Wu State; King Wu was not ambiguous, and also started the army to fight, but the strength of Wu was not as good as Chu, and later King Wu introduced Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, and trained the soldiers, and the Wu army broke through the five battles and looted on a large scale, Wu Zixu dug up the body of King Chu Ping and whipped the corpse.

The scramble between a single mulberry tree can lead to a war of annihilation between two countries, but what about the scramble for fertile farmland? Even if it is impossible to be as fierce as between Wu and Chu, the intensification of the contradictions between the two clans will definitely not be less.

Just as Le Xin and Mu Zhu were staring at each other, and both sides refused to give in to each other, a voice faintly remembered: "I have heard people say: If you don't go out of the countryside when you die, you will be friends in the countryside, you will help each other in the countryside, and if you support each other in sickness, the people will be friendly." Now that the Le clan and the Mu clan are each other's people, it is the right thing to help each other and support each other, but you are so tense, isn't it false? "The person who spoke was dressed in a short-sleeved brown coat, about 50 years old, and looked like an old farmer; However, with a short sword straddling his waist, his speech was quite extraordinary, and everyone present decided that this person must be extraordinary.

"Dare to ask who is the gentleman? Why do you care about the private affairs of my two tribes? Le Xin asked.

"In the Mojia Tian Dove. I am not interfering in the private affairs of the two races, but I just want to tell you that people should love each other and benefit each other. The two patriarchs are exemplary to the children of the two clans, how can they fight for a little bit of land so much, and even cause a struggle between the two clans? Tian Jiu said.

"It turned out that it was the Mo family giant who came here, it's really disrespectful." Mu Zhu spoke, "However, the giant son should know that the land is the foundation of my family's children, and this matter may not be anything to the patriarchs of my two clans, but for the children of my family, this is definitely a matter of life and death. ”

"It seems to me that the struggle between your two tribes is only for this one piece of land. Now that the patriarchs of your two clans are here, why don't you just redivide the land? Originally, the children of the two clans had a total of 250 acres of land here, with 150 acres for Le's and 100 acres for Muhammad. Now that part of it is flooded, and the part that is flooded is the will of God, which is irreversible, and this loss is borne by the children of the two families, then the remaining land is divided into 5 shares, and the children of the Le family get 3 shares, so isn't it fair and reasonable, and the children of the two families should have no gossip? Tian Jiu said.

"That's a good idea, but I don't know how to divide Tianzi?" Mu Zhu asked.

"Now that the field is flooded, and the plots are uneven, it should be divided into five equal parts in a straight line away from the riverbank, and the east gate is Le's land, and the west side is Muhammad's land, I wonder if the two of you can agree?" Tian Jiu asked.

"I don't agree." But it was Le Xin who spoke. "Look, Giant, this piece of land is also flooded, but the east side near my Le's side is flooded a lot, and the west side near Muhammad is very little flooded. Therefore I cannot accept it. Le Xin said leisurely, behind which the Le clan people looked at the land on both sides and also recognized Le Xin's statement, and also saw that Le Xin was indeed making profits for the clansmen.

The clansman who owned the land immediately cheered with gratitude. And exclaimed loudly: "If I can't divide it evenly, I will get three-fifths, and I will not accept it." ”
