Chapter 342: A Worrying Field

The imperial court also issued a very important decree, that is, the implementation of the "rent regulation" in parallel with the uniform land system, that is, the families who received the land grant from the imperial court were required to pay a fixed tax and serve as a servant. This tax is very low, especially for people with a lot of land, because the land tax is no longer collected according to the field.

Sang Mu listened to Sang Wazi's words, and her hands trembled excitedly: "Then ......, how much land can our family divide?" ”

Sang Wazi said: "Our family is in business, and we can only reduce it by half ......"

"Nonsense!" Sang Mu's eyes widened like copper bells, and she yelled: "Half a point? Why? ”

Sang Wazi was startled: "I don't know ......, anyway, that's what the notice says." ”

"How much can you get it?"

"The notice said that a man like me can get 60 acres, and a man like my father can only get 20 acres......"

"What did you say?" Father Sang also blushed and said, "Why can I divide twenty acres?" ”

"The notice said that the old man over the age of 60 can only be divided so much. It's not like I'm talking about it, I still want to give the fields to our family! ”

Sang Xiaomei hurriedly asked, "What about us?" ”

"Women can't be separated."

"Why?" This time, Sang Mu, Sang Xiaomei, and Huang Qin asked in unison.

"It's not ...... I said"

"It's the notice!" Huang Qin snorted, "We know, do the math, how much land can our family share?" ”

"A total of eighty acres, of which twenty-five acres of Yongye land, which can be passed on, fifty-five acres of land will be divided into fields, and those that will be returned to the imperial court after death."

"Eighty acres?" Sang Mule was a little out of breath, and her hands and feet trembled: "The money that fell out of thin air, eighty acres of land is sold, and it can be exchanged for forty yuan!" Forty times! Get rich! ”

"Mother!" Seeing her mother's crazy happy appearance, Sang Wazi was a little embarrassed, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I said it, these fields can't be sold!" ”

"What?" Sang Mu glared and said angrily: "Why don't you sell the field allocated to me?" ”

"That's what people do! Moreover, I heard Hou Qiangu say that this is only the number of fields set by the imperial court, and how much can really be divided depends on how many abandoned idle fields we have in Hezhou. Said to register first, and then I won't know until then. ”

"What did you say?" Sang Mu felt her heart tighten, pounding and beating, she knew that this was a precursor to another attack of edema, so she didn't dare to ask about it again, and forcibly said: "Then ......, hurry up and register......

Hou Qiangu said that only migrant households need to be registered, not in the local township, and the yamen have a household registration, and they must verify the situation of the men one by one, and then divide the land after they are alive. If we are in business, we will divide it in the end, and how many points there are. You don't necessarily get that much ......."

"Why did we ...... at the end" Sang Mu felt powerless to finish her words, her legs were weak, and her body collapsed straight down, Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin hurriedly supported her, Sang Lao complained and said: "Zuo Gongzi has long reminded you, don't let you think about money, you think about it now, if you get sick, it's a big deal......"

Sang Mu didn't care about this, and said urgently: "How many points?" So how much can we share? ”

Sang Wazi winced and glanced at Sang Mu: "I asked Hou Qiangu, he said ......, he said ......"

"Say what! Say it! ”

"It is said that our family may only be able to get a total of thirty acres."

"What? Isn't it eighty acres? ”

"That's what it says in the proclamation, and it is also written that the land is granted in four batches, the first batch is the granting of land by officials and people with military merits, then the granting of land by military households who have been discharged and returned to the field, then the granting of land by ordinary people, and finally the granting of land by those of us who are engaged in business and monks. It is necessary to give the field to the people in front first, and there are as many points as there are left, so the latter ones may not be able to follow the standard. ”

"This ......, this is simply bullying!" Sang Mu was so angry that she shook like a swing, pointing at the sky and scolding, she didn't dare to directly insult the yamen, and she couldn't be angry in her heart, it was a random scolding, which caused the people around to look sideways and lively.

Scolding to the back, Sang Mu felt that her body was weak, her heart beat faster, she was dizzy, and her whole body was as uncomfortable as a fire, and she immediately knew that the edema was about to be committed again, and she trembled and said: "......Hurry up, help me go back......"

The family helped Sang Mu back to the tea shop, Sang Mu immediately lay down, a lie down for three days, the head began to swell again, as if blowing, hands and feet also began to swell, Sang Mu was so frightened that she only recited Amitabha, and did not dare to ask about the field again.

―――――――――――――― when there were really a few happy and a few worried, and the Sang family was angry, the Zuo family was happily worried about how to eat this big pie that fell from the sky.

Zuo Gui's father's family knew about it two days before the migration order and the Juntian order, so naturally his son-in-law Hou Pu told them in advance.

On the evening of two days before the Juntian order was issued, Hou Pu and Fennel came to Guizhitang and told the second old court that tens of thousands of people had decided to emigrate to Hezhou, and at the same time, tens of thousands of military households were disarmed and returned to the fields in Hezhou. At this time, the number of people in Hezhou has more than doubled compared with before the war, and the contradiction of a small number of people in the land has naturally been alleviated. The tenant rent of his family's more than 100 acres of land will be different in the future, so I am too worried.

Then, Hou Pu talked about Juntian Ling again. Zuo Gui and Liang were very at a loss about Juntian Ling, and sat in the lobby of Guizhitang and listened to Hou Pu and Fennel excitedly pointing and talking for a long time, only to understand that the imperial court wanted to divide the war-torn public land to everyone to plant.

Zuo Gui's father is not interested in farming, even if he can share more fields, there is nothing special to be happy for him.

Liang was very enthusiastic and asked, "Then ......, how much land can our family share?" ”

Hou Pu said: "Yuezhang and Da Lang are both Ding men, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, each person can be divided into 100 acres, a total of 200 acres. According to the regulations, the granting of land is carried out in four stages. First divide the official duties into fields, public office fields, and Yongye fields for those who have military merits, then divide the military households who are disarmed and return to the fields, then the ordinary people, and finally the businessmen and monks. However, our Dalang has military merits, so he belongs to the first category, and can be divided into all parts, a total of 200 acres, of which 160 acres are divided into fields, which will be returned to the imperial court after death in the future, and 40 acres are Yongye fields, which can be passed on to children and grandchildren. This time, the women, slaves and maids did not divide the fields, so the mother-in-law, the white girl and the grass could not divide the fields. ”

Liang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Okay, it's good to be able to divide so much, plus our family's original 170 acres, a total of 370 acres of land!" Where to find a human race! ”

Hou Pu and Fennel looked at each other and smiled, and Fennel said happily: "Mother, tell you one more thing, then you are afraid that no one will farm the land!" ”

"What's the matter?" Liang said in surprise.

"In addition to these two hundred acres, my brother can also divide six hundred acres of high-grade fertile land!"

Liang shook his body for a moment, and hurriedly held on to the table.

Zuo Gui's father, who was sitting behind the long case, was indifferently studying with the medical skills written by Zuo Shaoyang, but when he heard this, the book almost fell off. After all, it is 600 acres of land, and according to the current market price, it is worth 300 yuan. His eyes widened in surprise, and the gray beard on his chin trembled: "What? Zhong'er can still divide 600 acres of land? Why? ”

"Because Da Lang is the 'model of supporting the army' personally appointed by the general!" Hou Pu grinned, "Who is the general?" The emperor's own brother today! The dignified Lord Zhao! The commander of this counterinsurgency! According to our Datang custom, the leading commander has the right to directly appoint generals below the fifth grade according to military merits! Because Da Lang was a 'model for supporting the army' canonized by the general, the general had instructed the military department and the household department that the relevant honors of the soldiers and the people he personally canonized in this expedition should be rewarded according to the highest-ranking honors he could directly appoint. The commander who can be appointed by the general is the captain of the cavalry on the fifth rank, so the big man can be awarded the field according to this rank. According to this Juntian Order, this grade can be divided into 600 acres of high-grade fertile land! These 600 acres are all Yongye fields, which can be transferred to children and grandchildren! Let's have fun with the two elders! Hey. ”

Liang didn't know anything about the honorable officers of the Tang Dynasty, so he was confused, and stammered and asked: "Da Lang ......, Da Lang is going to be an official?" ”

Hou Pu couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "No, mother-in-law, I don't want to be an official, our Dalang's title of 'Model of Supporting the Army' can be awarded in accordance with the standard of the Juntian Order of the Captain of the Riding Commander on the Fifth Grade." Seeing that the Liang family was still surprised and at a loss, Hou Pu said again: "Let me tell you this, because Da Lang has the title of 'Model of Supporting the Army' from the general, so this time he can be divided into 600 acres of high-grade fertile land, and the others are gone, and there are no official positions, and they are still Xiao Langzhong." Do you understand? ”

Now the Liang family understood, but they got so many fields at once, and they were a little at a loss, and they said: "Then ......, this ......, 600 acres of ......, so many fields, ......?" Can the yamen give it? ”

Fennel snorted and laughed: "Mother, this is a decree issued by the imperial court, how can you not give it, Hou Pu and they have already registered and made a register, and they will be divided tomorrow." ”

Zuo Gui's father said happily: "Can you really get six hundred acres of land?" Didn't you say that the field was not enough? ”

"Of course we can, because our family is the first batch of grants, and this batch is all granted in full. The remaining three batches will not be able to be fully distributed. Originally, there were few people in Hezhou, and tens of thousands of people migrated to the fields, plus the military households who were disarmed and returned to the fields, the fields should have been able to be divided according to the standards issued by the imperial court, but the positions of officials at the state and county levels, the fields of the public and the Yongye fields of people with military merits such as Dalang had to be divided first, and these were granted according to the standards of the imperial court. Dalang belonged to the first batch of people who gave the field, so he could get the full amount of Yongye Tian. These fields occupy more than half. The remaining fields, because they are no longer enough to be distributed according to the standard of the uniform field order, cannot be divided according to the standard of the imperial court. After calculation, the military households who have been disarmed and returned to the fields can only get about 60 mu, while the ordinary people can only get 30 mu for a Ding man, and the last group of businessmen and monks can only get about 10 mu. ”
