In the year of Bingzi, late autumn, early in the morning, the sky has not yet brightened, the milky white morning mist spreads, revealing the biting cold, and it coincides with the north wind blowing overnight, and many people are frozen to snot. At this moment, the streets within the four gates of Lanzhou City were crowded with bustling households, many of whom had stayed up all night, their eyes were as red as rabbits, and they yawned loudly, but their spirits were very vigorous, and their eyes were shining, as if there was a pile of gold in front of them.

Yes, for all the people in Lanzhou City, there is indeed gold on the ground in front of them.

Ten days ago, the commander ordered the soldiers to match with the households, and the soldiers and civilians in the city jumped for ten days, and finally all the households were sheltered under the rule of the soldiers. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Lanzhou by the Khitan, Dangxiang and other Hu people harassed in turn, the border people have long fled, outside the city abandoned a large area of land, these days Wu Yingying ordered the Ya military camp outside the city to all the abandoned fields measured and divided, registered, declared that each household will get a piece of land free of charge, of which the land near the city is demarcated by the Ya military camp, the size varies from 20 acres to 80 acres, according to the distance from the city wall fat and thin, far away from the city of the land plot, the barren land plot is large, only need to continue to cultivate for more than three years, the Lanzhou government will issue the title deed.

God, this method of granting land in the Tang Dynasty has not been seen for nearly 200 years, and for the people who regard the land as their life, this is nothing less than a great thing for gold to fall from the sky. Different from the previous dynasty's method of distributing land by the government, Lanzhou granted the field to choose on the day of frost, three quarters of the hour, the four gates of Lanzhou City were opened, and each household went out of the city to choose the land by themselves, each person was limited to one piece, first come, first served, and the small flag inserted in the field was pulled out. This method could not be fairer, if someone wants to do something out of it, or forcibly snatch the small flag, it will not work, I heard that ten battalions of five thousand soldiers have already driven out of the city at night, guarding around every field to witness, to prevent the wolf-hearted dog's lungs and insatiable greed.

Since the law of granting land came out, the households in the city of Lanzhou have not slept well, everyone looks at the dark circles in the morning, and some thoughts have to go outside the city every day to shake, secretly note which fields are fertile, close to the city, which fields are large, and after they are raised, they are the best land.

Former tenant Sun Gouzi cautiously looked at the mark he drew in the palm of his hand, he was illiterate, but his brain was very bright, and he was wandering around the mountains outside the city a few days ago. He knew that the land under the east mountain was actually abandoned by people, as long as the weeds were removed, he was afraid that it would be the yield of the first-class field, there was a low-lying land outside the west city gate, and the spring water on the mountain next to it was abundant, and the place only needed to dig twenty feet was a good well, and the dry land became the first-class watered land. Sun Gouzi looked at the marks in the palm of his hand in detail in the past few days, painfully doing ideological struggles, whether to go to the east first, or to the west first, although the land in the east is good, but there must be many people who look at it, he may not have someone who has a sharp leg and feet, and in the end he doesn't occupy that end, and finally gets a piece of wasteland, and there is no good harvest all year round, although the land in the west takes some work, but the people next to him may not be able to see that it is a good land, Sun Gouzi frowned tightly, and his expression is more serious than the Bianliang officials and prime ministers discussing the Northern Expedition。

"Dog, what's there to think about," the original blacksmith Cai 18 patted Sun Gouzi on the shoulder, "I said you don't pick and choose, open the city gate and run out quickly, and pull it back when you see which piece of land still has a flag." His tone is very relaxed, Cai 18 is a blacksmith of three generations of ancestors, with the strength of his arms, the Khitan people occupied Shuozhou, there were years of war between the north and the south, he was pulled in a daze, and was whipped day and night to build weapons, after the battle, Cai 18 became a slave in a daze, fortunately, his body is almost worth half of the big livestock, and the master does not abuse him too much, the last Khitan master donated him to the Buddhist temple, and the monk of the Buddhist temple heard that the south was going to redeem people and simply exchanged this big appetite of slaves for sesame oil money. After more than 10,000 Han households arrived in Lanzhou, the first thing Wu Yingying did was to ask the Ya military camp to screen out all kinds of craftsmen in the Han households, and temporarily hang them under the baggage camp, preparing to set up a craftsman camp in the future. But Cai 18 was really scared by the Khitan army, and when the tooth soldiers asked the craftsmen to sign up, he was stunned and rubbed the hard callus in his hand without saying a word.

"Dog, Brother Eighteen is not harming you," Cai Eighteen said in a low voice; "These days, you are looking around outside the city, and Brother Eighteen is looking at it, but if you think about it, in these years of war and chaos, you will have to fight again on the day when you can't keep it, the closer you are to the city wall, the easier it is to hide in to avoid trouble, no matter how good the land is, or is your life more precious?" Cai Eighteen looked up at the thick walls of Lanzhou City, and felt a little sorry for hiding the iron kung fu of his ancestors for three generations.

Zhu Huilan was wrapped in a rag headscarf found out of nowhere, gritted her teeth and squeezed into the pile of men at the city gate, in order to prevent being taken advantage of by bad intentions, today she deliberately painted her face with loess and straw ash very temperamental, anyway, all the land is first-come, first-served, what's the use of dressing yourself up in a fancy way, these damn men won't let you. Thinking of this, Zhu Huilan clenched her silver teeth, and used all her strength to squeeze desperately in the direction of the city gate, but she was just like a flat boat in the huge waves, and there was no way, I don't know when a few people saw through her woman's dress, and felt that her buttocks were touched a few times, Zhu Huilan looked back angrily, only to see the crowd surging, where to tell who is who, so she had to secretly scold which one killed a thousand knives and went back with rotten sores on her hands. It's all men, I bumped into a soldier on the street that day, what an honest person, fortunately I knew people with my eyes, and hurriedly started, and immediately pulled him to the government to go through the procedures for Tuomeng, and pressed his handprint, this person is really stupid, he didn't even ask where he lived and left on his own, good man, it would be better if he forgot to come to collect rent next fall.

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. Looking at the surging crowd behind the city gate, Chase sighed. He stood behind Wu Yingying, and together with Xin Gu, monitored the situation inside and outside the city gate. In order to prevent the households from fighting for the land, except for the Ya Military Camp, the Jinfan Battalion, and the Hussar Battalion, almost all the Lanzhou soldiers were sent out last night, and they were scattered around the measured and cut fields like peppercorns.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that the peasants' desire for land is so strong. Careless, I should have arranged more soldiers to maintain order if I knew this. Looking at the crowd below the city tower, Wu Yingying secretly said in his heart, he was also a little worried that so many households would gather inside the city gate to make trouble, and turned his head and asked Chase, "How long will it take to open the city gate?"

"There are still three moments," he looked at the denser and denser crowd below, as if a few households had been squeezed into red ears and gasping for breath, afraid that if they squeezed any further, they would die, hesitated for a while, bowed their heads and said: "My lord, the households are so crowded, it is better to open the city gate in advance and let them out, in case there is chaos." ”
