Chapter 152: Inventory of Land

Zhang Xi thought that he was quite cautious, and he didn't mean to stimulate the nobles of the family too much.

But drawing a fish scale atlas is essentially clearing the land, and this kind of thing will definitely be resisted by many people.

Less than ten days after the land inventory was carried out, Zhao Lei came to Zhang Xi with a bitter face, saying that the land inventory could not be done.

Zhang Xi asked why, and Zhao Lei gave Zhang Xi a list, all of which were lists of powerful people who wantonly annexed land in Qichun and Xiapheasant counties.

There are local heroes, and there are also Liu Bei Group nobles, what Zhang Xi didn't expect is that the proportion of Liu Bei Group nobles is the largest, and the family is a small fight, which is not worth mentioning.

And the most important thing is that the agents of the people have emphasized that this is Liu Qi's original order, and their purchase of land is legal.

Let's not talk about whether it is illegal or not, for the family and the nobles, there is no illegal land annexation.

However, the local family did not participate too much in the land annexation, which was a bit unexpected by Zhang Xi.

But this is also a good thing, what Zhang Xi was most worried about was to confront the local family, but now it seems that there is no need.

Liu Bei's elites, although some of them are not easy to deal with, but they are finally their own people, and if they can't do it, they can persuade Liu Bei to come forward to suppress them, so that it will be easier.

Zhang Xi felt so, so he began to register the land annexed by these noble groups according to the standards of the fish scale atlas.

Of course, Zhang Xi did not mean to embarrass these nobles, let alone clear the land annexed by these people.

Zhang Xi recognized the legitimacy of these nobles' purchase of land, and now he just clarified the size of these lands, confirmed the grade of the fields, and then registered them, and finally submitted them to Liu Bei for inspection.

In these years, the land bought legally is not a shameful thing, and the agricultural taxes of the Han system are not high, and the nobles are not short of this money and food, are they.

It can also help the nobles sort out their land assets, and it can also help the nobles legalize these assets, isn't it?!

But soon, Zhang Xi received "consolation" letters from all sides.

There are not only old people like Liu Yan who have followed Liu Bei for many years, but also old bosses like Mi Zhu, and even Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Chen Zhi and others have also hoarded a lot of land.

In addition to the generals who were fighting abroad, those nobles who were still staying in Jiangxia wrote to Zhang Xi one after another, asking him not to make a big deal out of it.

Even Jian Yong in Xiling County, he did not buy land in the two counties, but he also wrote a letter to Zhang Xi, persuading Zhang Xi to think twice, and said that there is a precedent for land registration and registration, so it is good to follow the rules, why adopt the new law and cause turmoil? !

It's really no wonder that the nobles are in a hurry, it's really that Zhang Xi is a little bit damaging to your Yaqingzhang's land, even if you still want to get that kind of fish scale atlas at a glance, and then give it to the lord Liu Bei? !

Good guy, if you let the lord know that his people are wantonly annexing land in the rear, causing the displaced people to have nowhere to settle, Liu Bei will have to go back and clean them up.

The annexation of land may not be a big problem, but it will affect the resettlement of displaced people and the population growth under Liu Bei's rule, which is a big problem.

It is the nobles who annex the fertile land, and it is Liu Bei's interests that are harmed by the decrease in population, you see if Liu Bei will continue to talk to you.

For the family, Liu Bei may not be able to do anything, but these nobles are hehe.

Zhang Xi's strategy is very good, that is, after Zhao Lei understood it, he also expressed his admiration for Zhang Xi's way of clearing the land, but Xiaoba gave Zhang Xi a blow to the head.

One night, Xiaoba mysteriously said to Zhang Xi that the officials of Qingzhang Land had found out about our family today.

Zhang Xi wondered at the time, I am in Xiayan County, where did I get the land?!

Zhang Xi is indeed a landlord, but it is not his private land, it is official land, which belongs to everyone who is an official.

When Zhang Xi was the postmaster of Jiangxia, he had ten hectares of official land in Xiling County, but after Zhang Xi stepped down as the postmaster of Jiangxia, this official land was taken back to the next superintendent.

And now Zhangxi's county also has official land, but this official land is also in Xiling, how can he have land in this place of Xia Pheasant? !

Then Xiaoba told Zhang Xi that when he went to Nanjun with Zhou Yu, Xiao Qibao was in charge of the family's affairs, and many nobles of Liu Bei Group hoarded land in the two counties through Liu Qi, and Xiao Qibao also bought a few pieces of land

Okay, the land inventory has come to your own home.

Zhang Xi was suddenly thundered.

The most important thing is to ask Hachi how much money did Little Qibao spend on the land in the first place. That amount of money and food made Zhang Xi almost suffer from liver pain.

Zhang Xi is not the kind of person who can dedicate himself to the country and the people, and he can understand the mood of these nobles who have suffered all their lives, and they can't wait to buy an industry for their families when they finally settle down.

Of course, even more distressed about their money. A little Qibao, where is this housekeeper, this is a loser.

For a moment, Zhang Xi also flashed the thought of "forget it".

But, when they think of the tens of thousands of people outside the city who are unclothed and have yellow faces and thin muscles, what will they do?!

Let these families and nobles occupy it so forcibly, what will the people of the world do in the future?!

Zhang Xi thought carefully all night in pain and entanglement, and called a messenger early the next morning to send a letter to Guan Yu.

Zhang Xi decided to stick to it.

Not for anything else, but for your own conscience.

Zhang Xi is not a saint, he will also have selfishness, and his personality is not very strong, and he is suspected of being greedy for life and afraid of death.

But this matter, Zhang Xi feels that it is his bottom line, and it is also his mission to come to this world.

In the past, we had no choice, we didn't seek politics if we weren't in their position, but now, let's say that they are also high-ranking officials in a county, at least, we have to let the people live a little better, so as not to cross this trip in vain.

Zhang Xi decided to continue to work on the fish scale atlas, and Zhang Xi also took the lead in retreating from his family's land, as for the other nobles, this is the reason why Zhang Xi wrote to Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu, a representative figure of Liu Beijun's nobles, can take the lead in withdrawing the land annexed by his family, then other Liu Beijun nobles naturally dare not talk too much about this matter.

But if you don't retreat, Zhang Xi can only write to Liu Bei and let Liu Bei decide.

For Liu Bei, Zhang Xi is confident.

Later, Liu Bei entered Shu, and the generals in the army asked to divide the fields in the city, the situation was very similar to now, after a long war, the civil and military officials wanted to use military merits as a basis to get some family business for themselves.

However, Zhao Yun advised, and Liu Bei immediately adopted it and rejected the request to divide the land.

It can be seen that Liu Bei is not a hypocrisy, although he is a warlord, he also has his own bottom line.

Zhang Xi instructed Wen Dai and Zhao Lei to continue the investigation, and all his land and property were cleared and used for the resettlement of displaced people.

And soon, Guan Yu's reply also arrived, and along with the reply, it was also peaceful.

Guan Ping is also here to deal with the matter of land clearance, and in this matter, the second master is not hypocritical and quite cooperative.

not only clearly supported Zhang Xiqing's behavior of retiring the land, but also generously said that he didn't want the money spent on buying the land.

But Zhang Xi still insisted that the money and grain for the purchase of land must be returned.

Even if it is the fields that Zhang Xi cleared by himself, how much grain should be returned, not a penny less.

It's not a question of money or not, it's a matter of procedure and rules.

When the people of Liu Bei Group bought land, they bought ownerless land, and Liu Qi, the assassin of Jingzhou, personally agreed, which was indeed legal in itself, and it was not to talk about harming the people.

Now in order to resettle the displaced people, these lands need to be cleared, which is a policy adjustment, so the compensation that should be given still has to be given, and it cannot leave any excuse for these nobles to attack, nor can it give people the feeling that Liu Bei is depriving the nobles of their property.

That would be detrimental to unity.

These things, Zhang Xi will once again write clearly in the letter and tell Guan Yu, and will also organize them into formal documents and send them to Liu Bei.

Therefore, as much land should be cleared, the amount of land should be compensated for the purchase of money and grain, and try not to let the nobles suffer.

Guan Ping wants to take this money, Zhang Xi also wants to take it, and the nobles who will come to clear the land property in the future will take it.

As for where the money comes from. Zhang Xi could only write to Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to help carry the blame.

With Guan Yu's endorsement, Guan Ping's platform, plus Zhang Xiqing, who returned the money, checked the property, and went quite smoothly.

Moreover, Zhang Xi didn't say that the nobles must clear all the land, they were willing to stay, and Zhang Xi only ended it after registering, and he did not force it to be cleared.

It's just, it's Liu Bei's side in the future, how to explain it, you have to figure it out yourself.

Even if he is a cheeky person like Liu Yan and a related household like Mi Zhu, he is embarrassed to present how much land he has annexed in front of Liu Bei.

The removal work of the nobles, along with Guan Yu's platform, starting from the generals, Zhang Fei's family, Zhao Yun's family, Zhang Xi's family, and Chen Dao's family, are basically all almost cleared.

On the civilian side, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Liu Yan and others also sent agents to clear the land.

While clearing the land property, Zhang Xi registered these land properties and used them to resettle the displaced people, and he was busy flying.

It's just that as soon as this thing is done, Zhang Xi probably knows it in his heart.

His popularity within Liu Bei's group is estimated to be cold.
