The next day coincided with the day of rest, Wu Yong had eaten the morning food, so he set off to Cao Song to inspect the Huangzhuang he selected for him yesterday, accompanied by Lu Bohao, who was from Tianling, which was also personally arranged by Lu Qiang yesterday.

For this reason, Wu Yong asked Yan Zhan to drive the carriage and personally go to the gate of the Lu Mansion to pick up Lu Boxuan. After Lu Boyu got into the carriage, Wu Yong arched his hand and said: "It's really ashamed to delay the adults to rest today!" ”

"It's easy to say---- Lu Boxuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wu Shiyu accompanies the Son of Heaven to study all day long, how can it be compared with these idlers such as me, and it is also an honor to be able to accompany Wu Shiyu to take over the Huangzhuang today!" ”

"My lord said with a smile, I am very grateful to have your help!" Wu Yong arched his hand at Lu Boxuan again, and his attitude was very polite.

Lu Boyu saw that Wu Yong respected him so much, and he squinted his eyes with a smile, to be honest, he was very envious of Wu Yong's current status, thinking that he was almost forty years old, so he relied on Lu Qiang's relationship to be a Tianling under Cao Song.

Not only is the work task heavy every day, but also often looks at the faces of others, and it is really not happy to live. It is like Wu Yong became the Son of Heaven at the age of twelve, and I heard that not only the doctors of the Five Classics of Tai Academy admired him very much, but even the ten permanent servants also looked at him differently, and his top boss Cao Song gave him the best Huangzhuang, in order to show favor to him and get closer to each other.

Just when Lu Boxuan was full of emotion, Wu Yong asked with a smile: "My lord, what does this Huangzhuang say, can you solve the kid's doubts?" Lu Bo thought for a while and said, "It's not so much the Huangzhuang, it's better to say that the public land is suitable." Because there are public fields everywhere in the world, in order to distinguish them, the imperial court called dozens of public fields near Luoyang City as Huangzhuang. Next, Lu Boyu introduced some of the public and private fields to Wu Yong in detail.

Originally, the basic land system implemented by the imperial court was the famous land system, that is, the state household could occupy a certain amount of land according to the rank of 20 knights, which was the so-called private land.

The occupier of private land pays a certain amount of tax to the state every year, and the state recognizes its legitimacy. Under the Mingtian system, the state has the highest ownership of the country's land, which is the premise of ownership for the implementation of the Mingtian system.

Therefore, in addition to the land owned by the common people, there is also a large amount of public land controlled by the state. The imperial court took these public fields

"Fu

"With the people, or

"False

"To the people, to maintain social stability. The objects of the fake public land are the homeless, the poor, and the criminals who have been pardoned. Fake fields are mainly aimed at the poor and are usually declared as a preferential policy. In addition, there are some people who can take public land by fraud, that is, the powerful or wealthy merchants. The reason why these people were able to take public land is mainly because of the system itself. In fact, there are specific conditions for fake public land. They need to pay a deposit or security deposit to the government, or pay a certain amount of rent in advance, for a certain period of time. Therefore, under normal circumstances, those who have the ability to fake land are the powerful or wealthy businessmen. The object of the public land is relatively clear, and they are all poor. This was due to the increasing land annexation and the relaxation of the land system, and the measures taken by the imperial court to solve the social problem of the increasing number of landless and landless poor and displaced people. Granting part of the public land to the poor as an alternative policy to the land grant system under the famous land system. In addition to this, there was a lot of uncultivated land in the imperial court

"Grass field", which is also part of the public land controlled by the imperial court. In response, the imperial court would often recruit displaced or poor people to open up the land, which would then be converted into public land.

In addition, due to special political and military needs, the imperial court also promoted tuntian on the public land. The producers of the tuntian were mainly conscripted soldiers, and there were also criminals who played an important role in the tuntian.

It can be said that as a type of land directly controlled by the imperial court, Gongtian is a supporting system that complements the Meida system, and is the pressure reducing valve and stabilizer of the Meida system.

Speaking of this, Lu Bohao sighed and said: "Hey, in recent years, the border area has been turbulent all year round, disputes have continued, the imperial court has used troops several times, but it has not achieved results, and it has also led to the disability of many soldiers, after that, in order to appease them, the imperial court will give them a lot of Luoyang Huangzhuang to cultivate, and then exempt them from taxes for many years!" After speaking, he explained to Wu Yong: "The Son of Heaven rewarded you with this imperial village, you should not expect too much. Although yesterday Dasi Nong instructed you to give you a first-class Luoyang Imperial Village, and I will also select this Imperial Village for you that is not exempt from taxes, but its cultivators are all displaced people who have gathered in recent years, and in a short period of time, you want to collect rent, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”

"Ugh!" Wu Yong didn't know what to say, he didn't expect a Huangzhuang to say so much.

This is still the order of Cao Song, the great farmer, and if he is replaced by others, he doesn't know what kind of imperial village he wants to get.

Next, because Lu Bohao wanted to show Yan Zhan the way, he stopped the topic and chatted with Wu Yong about some trivial matters.

In the chat, he arrived at the location of the Huangzhuang, Wu Yong saw that the location was good, in the suburbs of Luoyang, it only took about an hour to come here, and the distance from Fuwangli to Wancheng was about the same.

It was the beginning of June, and the people had just finished harvesting the wheat and were busy plowing the fields in preparation for the next planting.

After Wu Yong arrived, he stepped out of the carriage, stretched his waist, and looked around. At this time, a man in a brocade suit immediately ran over and said, "Who are you Xiaolang, who dare to trespass without passing the word?" Don't you know where the Huangzhuang is located? Be careful to pull you to the official, hurry up, go quickly! Before Wu Yong could speak, Lu Boyu lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and reprimanded the man: "Li Tianguan, you don't want to be presumptuous!" This is Wu Shiyu, the Son of Heaven has given him this imperial village, and he will be the master of this place in the future! ”

"Yes, yes, yes----" Although Li Tianguan didn't know Wu Yong, Lu Bohao, as a native of Tian Ling, often dealt with them.

"Wu Shiyu, you have a lot of adults, and the small ones don't know Mount Tai. Hehe! Li Tianguan lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.

"It's okay----" Wu Yong said lightly.

"But I hope you will be kind to the farmers under you, and you won't have this kind of face, otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful then." Wu Yong is not joking, since this imperial village already belongs to him, he naturally wants to rectify it greatly!

Because Wu Yong knows that this kind of petty official believes in policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. A lot of things that are obviously good, but when they are implemented below, they change their taste, and often good things become bad things.

For example, the epidemic in later generations, some prevention and control policies, in the end, increased layer by layer, making the people miserable!

"I know, I know, I know ----" As soon as Li Tianguan heard this, Khan suddenly came down, and peeked at Lu Bohao, who was expressionless, and he immediately knew that what Wu Yong said was true, and quickly nodded yes.

At the same time, I thought to myself: Are all the current teenagers so powerful! The person in front of him was only twelve or thirteen years old and became a servant of the Son of Heaven, and his background must be not small, so he will have to be careful in the future...... Wu Yong waved his hand and said lightly: "Go find me a few good people who are familiar with the fields, I have something to ask them." Gather all the people here again, and I'll have something to say in a moment!" ”

"Yes, yes----" Li Tianguan hurriedly took the order and went down, trotting all the way over. After a while, two old men in ragged clothes came over with a cower, and when they saw Wu Yong, they arched their hands and said, "I've seen Xiao Langjun, I don't know what to call us here?" ”

"Two elders, the kid wants to take a look at the field, can you come with me!" Wu Yong said with a pleasant face.

The two old men saw that Wu Yong was dressed well, thinking that he was the son of a noble family in Luoyang City, and when they heard that he was going to go to the field, they were worried that he would make a mistake, and he could not afford to be guilty, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, no, Xiao Langjun has such a precious body, how can he go to the field!" ”

"Hehe, it's okay---- Wu Yong waved his hand, and then said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the two elders, the kid used to go to the field often!" The two old men looked at each other, and when they saw that Wu Yong had already fallen to the ground, they hurried to catch up.

The three of them walked and watched, and Wu Yong asked some questions from time to time.

"What do you usually plant..."

"How was this year's harvest..."

"Can you eat enough..."Speaking of these, the two old men said more, after all, they have been planting for decades, and it can be said that they are too familiar with these... Soon, Wu Yong had first-hand information.

When he received this Huangzhuang yesterday, he had some ideas, and just now after Lu Bohao's mention, and the explanation of the two old men, he gradually had ideas about how to operate next... After the three of them looked at the land, it had taken more than half an hour, and at this time, Li Tianguan had already called all the people in this imperial village, Wu Yong saw that there were men, women and children, the oldest was on crutches, and the youngest was wearing open crotch pants.

But without exception, they are all in rags, with dishes on their faces, and it seems that life is not very satisfactory.

Wu Yong roughly counted according to the group they were standing in, and there should be about a hundred households. Judging from the land deed given by Lu Boxuan, this Huangzhuang has a total of two hectares of land, totaling 200 acres, which means that a household can get 20 acres of land.

No wonder their life is so miserable, according to the current extensive farming method, that is, they do not pay taxes, and it is good to be full.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong didn't talk to them at all, and said straight to the point: "My name is Wu Yong, and today the son has given me this imperial village, and in the future, you need to listen to my arrangement for planting, and I guarantee that you will be able to eat a full meal." As soon as Wu Yong's words came out, the people present were stunned, they all looked at Wu Yong in disbelief, they had never seen such a good atmosphere, every family just had such a little land, and they were full of food, it was good not to starve to death!

But some children, when they hear that they have eaten enough, their eyes are full of light! Wu Yong didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him like fools, which couldn't help but make him a little embarrassed.

In the end, Yan Zhan, who was still guarding Wu Yong's side, said loudly: "Hehe, you probably don't know yet, my lord is Wancheng Wu Yong, who passed down Taixu to eat!" ”

"What! You are Wu Xianjun of Wancheng! In the crowd, there were bursts of exclamations. Then a man shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, I, Liu Dong, can testify, as long as we do what Wu Xianjun instructs, he will definitely let us eat enough!" Then he said: "The anxiety relief buns and childish noodles we eat now are all handed down by Wu Xianjun not long ago, and now Wu Xianjun can accept us, it is really an eye-opener, I will not die!" As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately buzzed, and their eyes at Wu Yong became hot.
