"What? Do you know him? Sima Li'er was startled and then suddenly said: "That's right, you are the daughter of Xuzhou Assassin Shi, he is an official subordinate to the Assassin Mansion, of course you may know each other." Hee-hee, Ying'er, tell me, tell me what kind of person he is? ”

Pei Ying'er's eyes drooped slightly, and she grabbed the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands and asked, "Why did the county lord inquire about this person?" ”

"Oh, it's not my third brother, he doesn't know who to hear, King Langya admires Wei Shuo very much, so he asks everywhere about news related to this person." Sima Lier said crisply.

Pei Ying'er quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and her hands were also loosened, and then she replied: "I don't know him very well, but I have only met a few times, and the guard Cao is very dislike the children of the family, and he once openly slapped the face of the children of the Xuzhou family at the banquet. However, he is very good at training. ”

After all, Sima Lier was not really interested in Wei Shuo, so she quickly put Wei Shuo aside and discussed the matter of her daughter's family with Pei Yinger. Pei Yinger was also happy like this, and the two in the boudoir got along happily for a while.

……

Since the banquet, I wish the landlords in the county no longer have the arrogance of the past, in the face of the strong Wei Shuo, most of the powerful landlords can only choose to surrender, hand over the land in their hands and release the slaves and subordinates at home. A small number of stubborn people were all taken into custody pending trial by Wei Shuo in the name of bandits, and at the same time, they had to be fired by the government.

Under Wei Shuo's thunderous means, the Juntian Order and the Liberation Slave Order were promoted throughout the county at a very fast speed.

According to the decree issued by the county government, as long as the age is over 15 years old, both men and women, as long as they are registered in the yellow register, men are entitled to 40 acres of land, and women are entitled to 20 acres of land. This part of the field is called Yongye Field, Yongye Field shall not be monopolized, shall not be transferred, only after the death of the owner will the government take back and re-participate in the distribution, except for the landlord no one has the right to dispose of it.

In order to implement the Juntian Order, Wei Shuo first had to figure out how many people there were in Zhuqi County and how much land was available for distribution. To solve these two problems, we have to rely on the census work. In order to do a good job in the census of the population and fields, Wei Shuo pulled out all the literate soldiers he had trained before, plus the clerks in the county government, a total of about 300 people were all used to conduct the census.

Both the census and the land survey are tedious and energy-consuming tasks. Fortunately, with the help of a large number of literate soldiers and the enthusiastic participation of local people, the progress of the census was greatly accelerated.

According to detailed statistics, there are now about 115,300 people in Zhuqi County, of which less than 60 percent are landless commoners, and almost half of the remaining population are refugees who have recently migrated from various places and slaves who have just gained freedom.

According to the county government's Juntian Order, both men and women over the age of 15 can participate in the granting of land, and now about 80,000 people in Zhuqi County are eligible, far exceeding the number Wei Shuo had originally estimated. Thanks to the fact that there is a lot of undeveloped wasteland in Zhuqi County and several surrounding counties, and the land plundered from the landlords and Haoqiang, it can meet the needs of land granting.

In the process of implementing the Juntian Order, the greatest loss was made by those landlords. Although Wei Shuo did not touch their money and houses, he took most of the land and slaves.

The preparatory work for dividing the fields has been completed, and it is divided into pieces according to the quality of the land, and the numbers are pasted in advance, waiting for everyone's lottery. As long as the lottery is completed, everyone can receive their own land.

Wei Shuo had prepared a large number of wooden signs in advance, and the wooden signs had the name of the owner of the field on them. When the draw is completed, the wooden sign is nailed to the field, and the land belongs to the person whose name is written on the wooden card. All the old title deeds found from the landlord Haoqiang's house were burned by Wei Shuo in front of everyone.

In addition to the division of existing land, another important part of the Junda Decree is to encourage everyone to reclaim land. There is a clear stipulation in the order that the land that has been reclaimed can be passed on to the children of future generations if it is owned by the people who have reclaimed it, and the government has no right to take it back, and there is no need to pay taxes in the first three years, but each person can only reclaim a maximum of 40 acres.

"There are so many people!" When Wei Shuo led people to the site of land division, he was stunned by the black crowd in front of him, and it seemed that he really underestimated the enthusiasm of the people for owning a piece of land. Along the way, many ragged people kowtowed to Wei Shuo and the others from afar.

"Lord, although the land has been divided, there are too few ploughing cattle in the county, and even some war horses provided by the lord cannot meet the current demand for livestock. If there are not enough cattle, the common people will be given the land, and I am afraid that this year there will be no guarantee that all the land will be cultivated. ”

Looking at Liang Qiu, whose face was full of worry, Wei Shuo pondered for a moment and said: "Well, this is a big problem, ploughing cattle has always been a very important and scarce strategic resource, and even if you have money in the Central Plains, you can't buy much." It seems that to solve this problem, we have to rely on the Hu people in the north. ”

"Erlang, do you know how many ships we have in Laoshan that can sail far away? How many horses can each boat carry at one time? ”

"Brother Wei, I know this, at present, we have a total of three sea ships suitable for long-distance travel in Laoshan, each of which can carry about eighty horses at a time."

"Each ship carried eighty horses, and three were only two hundred and forty horses. But it takes a month to travel back and forth between Liaodong, and even if we travel between Qingzhou and Liaodong day and night for a year, these three ships alone will not be able to raise enough cattle and horses in a short period of time. ”

"No, we must expand the size of the fleet as soon as possible, Erlang, when I go back, send a letter to the You Da boss in Xu Fudao, and ask him to find a way to get some bigger ships from Jiangdong."

"Got it, Brother Wei."

……

Chen Laoshi was originally a tenant farmer of a local landlord's family, and his family of five all lived by renting ten acres of dry land from the landlord's family. But with the chaos in the world and the increase in the number of displaced people in various places, the main family took back five acres of land from them in order to recruit a few more tenants.

I thought that I had to sell my sons and daughters to tide over the difficulties, but unexpectedly, a Wei man suddenly came to Zhuqi County. not only raided the homes of the old men in the county, but also distributed the land of the old man's family to poor people like him. Chen Laoshi's family of five received a total of 120 acres of land.

This is one hundred and twenty acres of land, Chen Laoshi has never owned so much land since he was so big. When he saw with his own eyes that the county government clerk smashed the wooden root with Chen Laoshi's name written on it into the ground, Chen Laoshi suddenly squatted on the ground and cried while holding the title deed. At this moment, he thought of what his father had told him before leaving.

"Dad, I did it, Dad, I did it! Our old Chen family has their own land! Chen Laoshi muttered with tears streaming down his face.

At this time, Chen Laoshi's wife and son also came to their own land, and suddenly saw Chen Laoshi squatting on the ground crying bitterly, and couldn't help but say in a hurry: "His father, what happened?" Is it that our family didn't get the land? ”

"Dad, speak, what's going on? Is someone bullying you? If so, I'll go to the county government to file a complaint! Let Master Wei clean them up! Chen Laoshi's son pointed to the officials of the county government and asked Chen Laoshi.

Unexpectedly, Chen Laoshi slapped his son on the head and shouted, "What are you shouting!" No one bullied us, your father is happy! Your grandfather's wish for many years has finally come true today. Now I'm dead, and I have the face to see his old man when I go underground. ”

Now Chen Laoshi's son knew what was going on, he touched the back of his head and smiled at the busy officials around embarrassedly. What else can the officials of those county governments do when they see this? After the self-defense lord came, he took a relatively strict grip on grassroots officials like them, and once they found that they were bullying others, they would be severely punished.

Now that the common people in the county have the support of Lord Wei, they are arrogant, and as long as they suffer a little grievance, they can't wait to sue Lord Wei immediately, so that the officials of the county government have no choice but to be people with their tails between their legs.

Today, in Zhuqi County, there is this scene in front of many ridges, and many ordinary families who have been allocated land are happy and eager to live directly in the field.
