"The real purpose of your raid this time is these lands, right?"

The banker's copying is very smooth, and Zhao Guanhou's subordinates have a team that is good at copying homes, claiming to smell the cellars and storage rooms of large families with a sniff with their noses. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info those places where money is hidden, and they can't hide it at all.

In addition, some of the subordinates and clansmen in the family who were not executed were also frightened by the guillotine feast, for fear that the next one would fall on their heads. In order to survive, knowing everything, several gold storage rooms of the dealer were opened, and the savings of several generations were all taken out.

Gold, silver, tobacco, and more than a dozen boxes of treasured guns and bullets, these things are not counted, and the most precious thing is the title deed. The dealer has hung the double thousand hectares card three times, and the family has more than 100,000 acres of land, and the title deeds of these fields, and even the contract of the house and storefront, are regarded as the most valuable wealth of the dealer, and they are locked in the Taixi safe in front of them.

Zhao Guanhou is an expert in opening this kind of safe, and he didn't even use hearing aids, and opened the so-called most advanced safety equipment in three clicks. There were no gold and silver passbooks in it, except for the real estate deeds, just some correspondence. Zhao Guanhou only read a few letters, and he knew why Zhuang Zhifei was so fearless.

The relationships he made include Zhao Erfeng, who is now a reclusive in Qingdao and one of the ten elders of Dajin, and Rao Hanxiang, the chief staff member of Vice President Li Huangpo, and the famous curtain Rao Hanxiang, who overwhelmed hundreds of bureaucrats with a large pen. Another very good friend is Yuan Weiting's Jinlan friend, and Xu Juren, who is also living in seclusion in Qingdao.

With so many good friends with face and power, Zhuang Zhifei naturally did not need to be afraid of Zhao Guanhou, the overseer, and even as long as he did not die on the spot, even if he was convicted of a capital crime, he was sure to overturn the original verdict and turn over. As for these contracts, they represent the banker's family background, and having such a large piece of property in hand is enough for his family to be prosperous for many years.

Strictly speaking, these lands do not all belong to Zhuang Zhifei personally, and many fields are the property of the clan. But this time, since it fell into the hands of Zhao Guanhou, whether it was private property or family property, it also became Zhao's property. Zhao Guanhou did not plan to carry out any land reform in Shandong, equalizing land rights. He only redistributed the original land ownership, which simply means that he eliminated some landlords and created a group of new landlords.

Among these landlords, the largest landlord is Su Hanzhi, followed by Zhao Guanhou, Jiang Fengzhi and other women in the family. The second class is Zhao Guanhou's confidant and favorite general, a loyal pawn. As for the landlords who resist this method of redistribution, they will become sinners, and then, on the guillotine, the dealer is only one of them. Including a part of the good gentry, they are not immune.

Hannah saw that he couldn't put down the land contract, and walked up to him and asked, "For an agricultural society, land is the most important means of production, and if you want to change the ownership of the land, you are asking for the lives of these farm owners." I know a scholar who is looking at the impact of ownership of the means of production on the productive forces and the political structure, and according to him, this change in the ownership of the means of production will eventually lead to the transformation of the whole country. Are you going to be the fire thief of your country's new era, to build a system that has never been seen before? If you want to do that, I can introduce you to him, and maybe he can help you. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "You misunderstood, Hannah." I never wanted to do such a thankless thing, no matter whether I succeeded or failed, the road was destined to be full of thorns and bumps. After success, I am afraid that for me personally, it will do more harm than good, so why should I ask for trouble? Live my current life with peace of mind, and be the hero of this side is much better than going there to suffer crimes. I built these fields just so that the people under my rule could live a better life. They have food to eat, so they won't take risks, and I, the parent official, can sit safely. You see, as soon as Ge Ming finished in Henan, he began to make trouble with the white wolf. I heard that it is a group of very fierce bandits, but in the end, they are not all poor. If it weren't for the accumulation of too much, how could there be so many trips that would be harmful? ”

He pointed to the title deed: "The local land in northern Jiangsu is highly concentrated in the hands of a few people, and some big landlords own 100,000, 200,000 or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Thousands of people, all his tenant farmers. The whole village will rent his land and plant, and naturally he will be driven by him to give him command. Whether it is the imperial court or the Gonghe government, the officials sent down are not as useful as these landlords. If this continues, will this place be my territory, or his? Therefore, I brought troops here this time to eradicate these tumors, disperse their fields, and turn the big landlords into small landlords. This place can really be called my territory. My decree can be carried out, the people can be fed and clothed, and I will not rise from the unsheath, so that I can sleep peacefully. ”

Hannah also has some knowledge of China's political situation, and she pointed to the letter and said: "It seems that our Mr. Zhuang is a very capable person, he knows many big people, and he can get a lot of help." If you execute him without trial, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and I can help you if you need it. The influence of the Prussian Empire was definitely not inferior to that of Jurdian. ”

Although Zhao Guanhou pursued a diplomatic model based on the principle of equal interests in Shandong, Albion and Prussia were equally superior in Shandong's interests. But this kind of indifference is what makes Hannah very dissatisfied. In her view, Prussia's national strength was only stronger than that of Albiang, which was weak, and the model of being close to Prussia and alienating Albion should have been implemented. In particular, Zhu Erdian's layout in China obviously had the intention of suppressing Prussia, and she decided to control the power of Zhao Guanhou on the Prussian side.

Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but at the moment, it's not that point." These few people alone were not enough to alarm Prussian friends to come forward. On my own, I'm enough to deal with them. ”

The granaries of the Zhuang family were all controlled by the officials and soldiers, and most of the grain had to be transported away as military rations. But the surplus food is enough to entertain the villagers for a hearty dinner. The staple food tube is enough, there is oil in the dish, and there are meat dishes, which is already a kind of enjoyment that the local farmers may not have during the New Year.

The people in line, holding bowls, looked at the soldier in charge of serving the meal with a smile on their faces, and discussed in a flattering tone whether they could bring more meat dishes. After the meal, the person finds a place to squat, gobble up the food in the bowl, and then go to the queue.

As if celebrating a holiday, people greeted acquaintances, laughed loudly, and of course, the most common voices shouted "Handsome and wise." Zhao Dashuai is wise. When the meal is served, you should also shout "Thank Zhao Guanshuai for the rice!" "I can eat a bowl.

Not far from where everyone was eating, there were more than a hundred and so high poles, and on each pole hung a dead body and a human head. According to Zhao Guanhou's order, the people who were killed in the Zhuang family should hang their bodies for three days as an example. Later, the clansmen of the Zhuang family came forward to say that the item was finally changed to hanging the corpse for one night.

Because the Zhou Fu brothers knew Xiao Dalong, they didn't have to queue up, and someone had already put a few pieces of fat meat into their bowls, and they still ate the best white flour steamed buns, which were the same as the soldiers' food. The women, too, have their own people who are responsible for making sure that the food is the same as theirs.

Zhou Gui was excitedly nibbling on steamed buns, eating meat that he couldn't eat during the New Year, seeing his gobbling up the appearance of almost swallowing the steamed buns whole, Xiao Dalong smiled: "Look at your little bit of breath, eat slowly, don't choke." What's wrong with this? I'm tired of this. In our troops, there is a desire to eat this. If you can be the battalion commander, you will be allowed to eat until you vomit. I usually eat foreign snacks and drink Dutch water. Have you ever eaten bread? I eat that when I'm fine, I also have jerky and canned food when I go out. ”

"It's good to be a soldier, and it's really better to be a soldier than to farm." Zhou Fu smiled and complimented, and asked again: "I heard, the Zhuang family is looking for you?" Tell you a daughter-in-law? ”

"Yes, the woman of the old dealer killed an old woman, and the others don't know how to settle them. If you follow the rules of the former gold, if you don't get it right, you will have to sell it officially. The dealer said that he would give me Miss Sun as his wife. I went to take a look, and it looked okay, better than my spring peach, and I had read foreign books. Dashuai asked me to ask her for her own opinion, we have a rule here, we are not allowed to marry and hire hard, what do we have to say...... Men and women are equal, and if women don't look down on men, their efforts will be in vain. She is also happy, and it is estimated that in these two days, she will be able to do a happy event. ”

Zhou Gui swallowed another steamed bun at this time and asked, "Brother Da Long, what did you promise them?" ”

"I'm a small battalion commander, and I can't fulfill anything I promised, but who let them have no one around the big handsome? After looking for a long time, I didn't have a relationship to rely on, so I had to come to me. I said a few words to Da Shuaina, and tried my best to preserve the property of the Zhuang family, the family land, and leave more for them. At this point, it will come to an end, in the end, I am a handsome soldier, not the son-in-law of the banker. Erzhu, Erwa, you have to figure it out yourself, working under the handsome man, the most important thing is loyalty. If you want to step on a mine, you have to step on a mine, and if you want to block a bullet, you have to block a bullet. If you don't have this loyalty, get out of here as soon as possible, and don't harm others or yourself. ”

Zhou Gui heard that he stepped on a mine to block bullets, and his heart fluttered, but then he thought of Hongling's desperate cry last night, and the gentle wedding night of the two. As soon as he gritted his teeth, "I didn't say anything, I rushed to the big handsome to fulfill me and Hongling, and I sold my life to the big handsome!" Even if I was to die, I wouldn't say anything. ”

"If you have the guts, you can do it." Xiao Dalong patted Zhou Gui approvingly, "I won't let you suffer, you'll know in a while, what are the benefits of being a soldier." ”

Dinner was over, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. At the head of the field, a fire was lit as a light, and Zhao Guanhou loudly read out the new land distribution policy to the well-fed villagers. The fields that originally belonged to Zhuang Zhifei will be re-disposed of, except for a part of the Zhuang family's property, most of the fields have become the land of Shandong Zhao Dujun. The tenants of the original Zhuang family became the tenants of Zhao Guanshuai.

Farmers have the right to use the land and partial ownership, in other words, all the land and a small amount of the bones. Pay the land rent and harvest according to the tax standard, and bear the labor of the government. Apart from this, no one has the power to order him to perform any other work, let alone a so-called privilege. All orders, including the right to go out at night, will be abolished, and anyone who dares to do it again will be punished by death for any reason.

As a tenant of the main government, you can get a full subsidy from growing grain to livestock, and you can also apply for a loan from the main government. Shandong does not support any form of private lending, and if you need a loan, you can only apply to Siheng, Huabi and Zhengyuan. Anyone who borrows money from a foreign person will be arrested and sentenced to prison as soon as they are discovered, and the money and food involved in the case will be confiscated, and they will be subject to hard labor. The sale of land will be found to be illegal and will be immediately returned to the province, and the seller of the land will also be sentenced to the crime of fraud, and the buyer of the land will be sentenced to the crime of robbery.

The provincial government will set up institutions such as a grain collection office, a judicial office, and a village police office. Specific personnel shall be selected by the local selection of suitable talents.

After the establishment of the institution, it will completely replace the previous model of village sages governing the countryside, including the sinking pool, immersion in pig cages, ancestral hall punishment and other lynchings have all been abolished. Instead, Zhao Guanhou single-handedly compiled the new Shandong Law, which allowed all disputes in the countryside to be resolved by the judiciary, or to go to the county governor to redress grievances. Those who are lynched in private fights will be severely punished. In particular, heavy penalties were imposed for large-scale armed fights, as well as civil fights.

Those who lynch or enforce household rules on their clansmen are subject to confiscation of the land privately owned in their names in addition to criminal punishment from the time the order is issued to the time when the order is executed. If there is a whistleblower, as long as it is verified to be true, these confiscated fields will be owned by the whistleblower, and there will be a bonus.

In addition, the system of women's emancipation was introduced. The implementation of full marital autonomy, women have the right to refuse arranged marriages, and also have the right to file for divorce, changing the tradition in the Dajin system, in which only men are allowed to divorce women, and women are not allowed to divorce men. Widows do not advocate observance, and widows have the right to keep festivals, but they do not receive preferential treatment. A widow who remarries has the right to take away her due property without obstruction, and the government will have preferential measures.

Those who arrange marriages or obstruct widows from remarrying are not only fined and confiscated from their land, but also punished with criminal liability. Forcing a woman into marriage or other obstruction is punishable by up to death.

Marriages must be registered, except for marriage certificates stamped with the official seal of Shandong, no other forms of marriage are recognized, and illegal marriages will bear high fines and criminal liability, and men are at risk of killing their heads. For women, young women, comprehensive advocacy of footing. When the marriage of the small-footed person is registered, he will pay three times the registration fee and a considerable fine, known as a Ge Ming donation.

This series of orders has been greatly promoted in Shandong, and northern Jiangsu, because it is relatively conservative, has been resisting Zhao Guanhou's new policy, and the implementation of the order has not been smooth. This time, Zhao Guanhou came in person, and conveyed it by killing Zhuang Zhifei and dividing the field, obviously, he was already preparing to implement it strongly, and whoever wants to resist it again may have to follow in the footsteps of Zhuang Zhifei, and the whole family will hang in the southeast branch.

When it came time to officially divide the field, the Zhou brothers also understood what Xiao Dalong meant by the benefits of being a soldier. Ordinary people can only divide the fields into the fields, but the families of military personnel can get 20 acres of self-cultivated land, and the ownership of this part of the land is completely their own, and the proportion of taxes paid is also lower than that of those who rent official land. Of course, depending on the rank, there is a clear upper limit on the amount of land owned by each military dependent, and only the immediate family members are valid, and it is not feasible to donate like the former gold.

Rao is so, for the Zhuang family, this division is equivalent to pie in the sky. In addition to the fields, the fields of military dependents can also be divided into livestock, agricultural tools, and seeds. Xiao Dalong's relatives have already died, and there is only one military family in this area, Zhou Fu. The banker's chrysanthemum green mule and a big black cow were all given to him, with Xiao Dalong's face, and the field was also the best 20 acres of land for the banker.

This time, other people's eyes were focused on Zhou Fu, and many people whispered: "The second baby of the Zhou family can be a soldier, why can't I?" Doesn't he just know how to put a gun? What's so difficult about that, when the dealer held a group exercise, I also went to exercise, and I was no worse than him in terms of making guns. Why did the chrysanthemum green and the big black cow belong to their family? It's not fair. ”

Someone asked loudly: "If you sign up to be a soldier now, is it still considered a military family?" ”

"Count, as long as you pass the inspection, you can count as a military family. However, according to the level of the regular army, police inspection, fire brigade, and security regiment, the fields enjoyed are also different. ”

"Okay, I'll sign up now, I'm going to be a soldier!"

There are many young and strong people in this place, although walking in the fields is a strong laborer, which is an impact on family life. Even the separation of father and son, wife and husband is a great sad thing, but compared to the fields and large animals, all this is nothing. Parents or wives began to urge the strong laborers in the family to quickly make up for their names, become soldiers, and earn a piece of land for the family first.

Seeing these people enthusiastically joining the army, Zhao Guanhou smiled proudly, and Hannah said in Prussian: "You are so cunning, you can deceive so many soldiers with one person." ”

"This is the story I told you, the story of a thousand dollars buying bones. With so much cannon fodder, even if the rich people of northern Jiangsu unite now to make trouble, I am not afraid. (To be continued.) )
