With Bei'an Village taking the lead, the village elders of more than a dozen villages also made a lot of requests.

Shen Yun responded to varying degrees according to his ability. This made more than a dozen people smile. However, Hu Cao looked helpless at this time, and Shen Yun's problem of scattering wealth came up again. Just one Yele Town, the money and grain promised to go out at this time are almost 600 yuan, and there are four villages and one town in Anhua County, if every place is as promised by Shen Yun, I am afraid that the county will not think about how much money there is left this year.

It's just that he didn't dare to dismantle Shen Yun's platform in front of everyone, so he could only wait for these people to leave and talk to Shen Yun in private.

Regardless of it, in the end, he still disappointed the old Cao, Shen Yun heard his words, but laughed out loud: "You guys, you are really old." Don't think about how much grain is stored in the county, as long as the regular closing position is filled, we don't have to worry. The money you spend now will be recouped next year. ”

Shen Yun is confident that his ability to make money will not be bad.

In the dozen or so villages of Yele Town, when the village elders were hurriedly called away, and then came back, they called each family to come to their homes and earnestly relayed the three points announced by Shen Yun. At the same time, he also said the request of himself and others to Shen Yun, and Shen Yun's reply was also said.

Huangyang Village.

"Village elder, does this new county order count as words? The baby of the Cao family is now raised in the county government. In my opinion, this county magistrate is a guy with a good heart, but the means are not good. Don't make the thunder loud and the rain small, let us offend the Kuang family in vain. Those three brothers are the masters who eat people and don't spit out bones. ”

A villager honestly and unceremoniously sarcastically mocked Shen Yun.

As the people of Huangyang Village, it was not one or two families who were directly oppressed by the Kuang family. Partial, these people still can't fight the Kuang family when they are united, so Shen Yun said that when the time comes, do you want to tell the truth?

"I'm not worried about this, that's why I called you all over and told me early. When the time comes, we still have to figure out what to do with this matter. Alas, it's difficult, the Kuang family can't be bulldozed on this mountain, even if it is verified this year, the land will still be encroached upon next year, and it will be punished. The gains outweigh the losses. ”

After a few more words, the villagers went back to their homes and sighed in the night.

It's just that what the villagers of Huangyang Village never expected was that the first village to check the acres of land was his Huangyang Village.

Early in the morning, Shen Yun took a group of errand soldiers, accompanied by Li Qing, to the entrance of the village. The village elders and people who heard the news walked out of the village one after another and followed not far behind Shen Yun. At this time, Shen Yun also instructed Hu Cao to start an inventory according to the records in the land register.

Huangyang Village is a village composed of the two big surnames Huang and Yang, as well as other small surnames.

The owner of the land in front of him was owned by a family named Wang Si. This family moved here in the second year of Jiayou, a family of five, a total of 10 acres of Yongye field, 20 acres of land. Since it was an inventory, he had to ask one by one, and the messenger behind him shouted to the villager: "Wang Si can be? Hurry up. ”

As soon as he shouted, a voice that sounded like the Gyeongju dialect came: "Master, master, the little one is Wang Si." ”

Bringing it forward, Shen Yun pointed to this piece of fertile land and asked, "You mean, you are the fourth king." Okay, tell me, how many acres is this piece of land? The person who was called Wang Si heard Shen Yun's inquiry and hurriedly replied: "There are three acres and two points." ”

Shen Yun looked back at Hu Cao, saw that Hu Cao nodded, and then turned his head and asked, "Wang Si, tell me about it, where else has your family been allocated to the field besides here?" In fact, this question can be found in the land register, but Shen Yun asked this question, which made this Wang Si stunned.

Shen Yun's smile was sarcastic: "I can't say it." Because, you are not the fourth king at all. If I remember correctly, Wang Si's family should be from Lanzhou. He worked as a tenant in the land for three years, and then was granted the title of land. But you, although you speak with an accent similar to that of Gyeongju, I know that you are from Huanju. ”

This impostor method was seen through by Shen Yun as soon as this guy opened his mouth. When he was in Beijing, he had seen the accents in various places in the northwest, so Shen Yun could still distinguish how to speak in Lanzhou, Huanzhou and Gyeongju.

This guy who called himself Wang Si panicked. He never thought that this little magistrate county would be so difficult to fool.

I only heard Shen Yun shouting: "Come on, give me twenty strokes of this impostor, and then drag him back to talk to me." The officer in front of him immediately held it down, broke a three-thick stick on the birch wood by the roadside, cleaned it up a little, and smashed it on the man's buttocks.

Wet wooden sticks hit people, don't look at the sound is not loud, but the power is amazing. After twenty strokes, the man couldn't stand up at all, and he didn't have to think about it, his buttocks were swollen like Roshan.

At this time, Shen Yun asked again: "Say, what is your identity?" ”

I also knew that I couldn't please in front of this magistrate, so this person replied weakly: "Back to the master, the little Mingxi is originally from Huanzhou." A year ago, the Xia people entered Huanju, and the little one fled to Gyeongju in order to escape for his life. Now he is working as a tenant at the local old man's house, just waiting to earn enough money to return to his hometown, and then he has to leave. Last night, Master Kuang sent someone to come to the door and told the little one to come and pretend to be a person named Wang Si. ”

"Then how do you know that this land has three acres and two cents?"

Shen Yun was very curious, how could an impostor make the big part of this land exactly the same.

"This land is being cultivated by the villain." Mingxi replied honestly, but Shen Yun continued to ask: "Let's talk about it, what land have you cultivated in this Huangyang Village." It is expected that these three acres to divide the land are not enough for you to earn enough travel expenses. ”

"Master Mingjian. Not only this one, but also the next two pieces, are also planted by villains. There are also Shangdawan, high ridges, and riverside trees, with a total of 25 acres of land. ”

"Are you paying rent to that old man Kuang?"

"That's right. The person who took me to recognize the land was the housekeeper of Kuangjiazhuang's outer courtyard. It was a thin man in his forties, named Kwong Zhong. It was he who told me to pretend to be the fourth king. ”

Shen Yun asked clearly, and asked the messenger to take this Wang Si down. The inventory of acres of land has to continue, and when he finishes checking these, he will have to identify the land he cultivates when he arrives at the places that Mingxi mentioned. As for the remaining two pieces here, Shen Yun looked at Hu Cao, and the old Hu Cao understood, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the county, the next two pieces of land, one is that Cao Dayou's family, and the other is the villager Yang Chenglin." ”

"I understand the situation of Cao Da's family, which one is Yang Chenglin, stand up."

The crowd panicked for a while, but no one answered. Seeing this, Shen Yun smiled coldly: "Since this is the case, then it is better to note this land as ownerless." "If there is no owner in the county's land register, it is likely that it will be granted to tenants in the future. The original owner of this land suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly ran out of the crowd and fell to his knees.

"The county lord, the little one is Yang Chenglin. Don't take back my land, old man. ”

"Since it's yours, you don't stand up for the sake of the county just asked? Village elder, is this person really Yang Chenglin? Shen Yun looked at the village elder who was following him and asked with a serious face.

"If you go back to the county, this person is Yang Chenglin. If you don't stand up just now, you're also suffering. In the end, it was the old man who became a fine man, and the answer stopped at the point, so that Shen Yun had to ask: "Say, why did Mingxi say that this is the land of the old man Kuang, and all the rents should be handed over to the Kuang family." Yang Chenglin, this should be your Yongye Tian. Do you know that the private sale of Yongye land is punishable by law with a penalty of 15 to 60 rods, and you are required to return the original amount of the proceeds from the sale of the land, and the land will be returned to your own? ”

Twenty rods have already beaten Mingxi's strong laborer to stand up, and Yang Chenglin's land is two and a half acres, and the cane responsibility will not be less than thirty rods.

Shen Yun's words were not without threat, Yang Chenglin knelt on the ground, and his body trembled.

After all, the village elder couldn't stand it anymore, sighed, and when he came to Shen Yun, he bowed down: "County Zun, the descendant, don't dare to speak, let's let the old man explain this matter." ”

Seeing that there was finally someone who dared to stand up and speak, Shen Yun nodded and motioned for the old gentleman to continue.

"Five or six out of ten of the land in our village was actually occupied by the Kuang family. Every year, one acre of land gives us three liters of grain, which is counted as a reward. This kind of thing has already started when the little old man has not yet become the village elder. Now, it's been 10 years. ”

Even if the wheat yield does not go up now, the income per mu will not be less than two buckets after removing taxes. But this Kuang family actually gave three liters. That's a real trick. Shen Yun looked at the village elder with a calm face, listening to him talk about the Kuang family's various methods of encroaching on the land, and in the end, in everyone's expectations, he said very indifferently: "I know." ”

Originally, I saw that Shen Yun had interrogated Mingxi before, and he had forced Yang Chenglin, and he felt that this magistrate was really not as rumored. However, after listening to the village elder's complaints, he actually replied like this.

The hope that had just risen in the eyes of the people of Huangyang Village was instantly dispelled. And the village elder also looked sluggish, and he didn't want to believe that Shen Yun would be such a person.

What exactly does he want? Obviously, he has forced everyone to tell the evil deeds of the Kuang family, so he said it so unsaltily?

What the villagers of Huangyang Village need is not this, it is the Kuang family that has lost power, the land belongs to them, and they will never be oppressed by the Kuang family again. With all kinds of anger and grievances in his heart, the village elder suddenly knelt down in front of Shen Yun in the stunned eyes of the villagers.
