Zhang Xi has to be glad that now Liu Bei Group is just starting out.

At this time, the strength of Liu Bei's Xungui group was not strong, and the main Xungui was still willing to stand on Zhang Xi's side and help stand on the platform.

Fortunately, the local family did not participate in this land annexation, so there was no need to fight with the local family.

This is also in Jiangxia County, and it is only two counties, if it is changed to Jiangdong or Cao Wei in the north, Zhang Xi estimates that he will be dismissed the next day, and if he is lucky, he can save his life, and if he is unlucky, he will have to explain his life.

In short, Zhang Xi continued to take stock of the land, and at the same time resettled the displaced people in batches, registered the displaced people, divided the land range, drew a fish scale atlas, formed a village, and selected village elders to help manage the place.

The problem of imperial power going to the countryside was not solved until New China, and Zhang Xi did not expect to be able to do it in these years, so it was better to let the villagers manage the place according to the rules of these years.

At the same time, Zhang Xi also needs to pay attention to the contradictory relationship between outsiders and locals. In these years, two villages that have been living with each other for nearly 100 years will also cause large-scale fights over water problems, not to mention that one is a local village and the other is a non-local village.

These are very troublesome things, Zhang Xi didn't have time to stay in the county government during this time, and often went to the countryside to go around, here to help adjust the matter of stealing chickens, and there to help adjust the problem of dog fighting, but he was busy with some trivial matters.

Sometimes Zhang Xi really couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly wrote to Guan Yu and asked him to send some grassroots officials over quickly, otherwise he would be exhausted.

Zhang Xi now even uses Xiao Deng Ai, a child laborer, and asks Xiao Deng Ai to help deal with some paperwork or something, which shows how much Zhang Xi is short of people.

Sometimes Zhang Xi really sighed, how did this Zhuge Liang achieve "no matter how big or small, bright and specialized"? !

You can't vomit blood. Uh, forget it, when I didn't say.

While taking stock of the land and drawing a fish scale atlas, he also resettled the displaced people, formed villages, and organized households. Before you know it, the Spring Festival has passed.

A few days after the Spring Festival, Zhang Xi finally rested a little, after all, the people also have to celebrate the festival.

On this day, Zhang Xi took out some money from the treasury, sent people to Chaisang, Jiangdong to buy a lot of fish and meat, and then organized the displaced people who had not yet been allocated land to eat a good meal together.

One is to gather people's hearts and let them wait for resettlement with peace of mind, and the other is to respect tradition and let everyone have a good year.

As for the displaced people who have already been allocated land, the government will pay for it, and the village elders will organize dinner parties to enhance their feelings with each other.

After all, neighbors who are going to live in the same village in the future, it is necessary to be close to each other. It would be even better if the trend could also promote population development.

In these days, there are many widowers and widows, and it is also a common thing in this era to reorganize a family or something.

After the Spring Festival, things are even busier and more urgent. In February, spring ploughing had to be organized, but now even the land has not been divided.

Zhang Xi repeatedly confirmed the number of displaced people who had not been allocated land, and then compared the remaining land, and found that it seemed that it was really impossible to completely resettle all the displaced people.

This is another very tricky thing, and one bad one is going to cause civil unrest.

Everyone else has been resettled, why is it that he is gone to me, it must be that the government is unfair, cut him!!

Well, then the consequences are really serious.

But Zhang Xi is really confused now.

In Xia Pheasant and Qichun, the amount of cultivated land is already quite large, and it should not be a problem to resettle these displaced people, why did it suddenly become that the land was not enough?

Could it be that there are nobles or local families who have hidden their fields, but they just refuse to clear and quit? !

Zhang Xi had to take the newly drawn fish scale atlas and go to the countryside again to investigate the field to determine whether there were any fields that had been drawn.

However. Not really.

Some families did annex some land, but the number was not much, and the total was less than 10% of the land in the two counties, and they all drew fish scale books and sent them to the government according to the regulations. This data is reported to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei will not raise any objections.

As for the nobles, except for Liu Yan, who still retains more than a dozen hectares of encroached land, the other nobles have already cleared the land, and there is no phenomenon of encroachment.

So the problem is with the homeless?!

Zhang Xi went back to check, and it was really the number of displaced people who had gone wrong.

At the beginning, Zhang Xi asked people to count the number of displaced people, and the figure he got was more than 8,000 households and more than 30,000 people.

After all, there was no resettlement of displaced people in a year, and more than 10,000 people ran away, which is something that cannot be helped.

But now that Zhangxi has resettled more than 5,000 households, nearly 20,000 people, how can the data reported now still show that there are more than 5,000 households and more than 20,000 people?!

Zhang Xi was suddenly confused, what went wrong?!

Zhang Xi had to investigate thoroughly, and then found out that it was his own pot again.

Whoever asked Zhang Xi to preside over the resettlement of displaced people in the two counties was divided into land.

In these years, the princes of all parties settled the displaced people, basically renting land.

There is also a precedent for this.

After the "Dutian Incident", Emperor Guangwu mastered a large amount of state-owned land, so he leased these state-owned lands to the displaced people for planting, and the government gave them certain cultivation tools, and then collected the rent proportionally.

For a time, because of this policy, Emperor Guanwu's treasury was full, laying the foundation for the rule of Ming Zhang.

Therefore, the current princes basically follow the same example, and even Cao Cao went one step further and carried out the tuntian, which was also divided into military tun and mintun.

Now whether it is in the north or in Jiangdong, they are basically carrying out tuntian, after all, the income of tuntian is charged to the lord's treasury, and the land still belongs to the lord.

This is already a way that more promising princes will adopt, like Liu Zhang in the west who didn't do this, so he couldn't even clean up Zhang Lu.

But now, there is a big fool in Jiangxia, and he actually divides the land among the people. Can there be such a good thing in these years?!

At first, everyone didn't believe it, but after a long time, many people were really assigned to the fields. At this moment, the surrounding homeless people were excited.

If you can have a piece of land of your own, who wants to pay rent for farming?

Cao Cao in the north, the tuntian policy is six princes and four people, but if he has his own land, he is a yeoman farmer, not a tenant farmer who farms the land.

According to the Han system, the agricultural tax of self-cultivated farmers is 30 taxes and 1 of course, and now the world is chaotic, and the income is a little more, but it is still a hundred times stronger than 60% to return to the public.

Of course, according to the Han system, after having their own land and becoming self-cultivated farmers, the people had to bear very heavy taxes and fees, as well as small taxes and fees such as fish tax, city tax, asset tax, etc., and even had to serve forced labor every year. But isn't the wish of the peasants in those years to have a piece of land of their own?

Zhang Xi was in Jiangxia, and suddenly the displaced people in several surrounding counties were moved, and they all squeezed over to Jiangxia.

Zhang Xi immediately regretted it.

is also to resettle the people, if Zhang Xi had used the cleared land to engage in tuntian from the beginning, wouldn't there be so many things.

At that time, I thought that the propertied people had perseverance, so that the displaced people could settle down in Jiangxia with peace of mind, enrich the population, and increase taxes, so I chose the decision to divide the unowned wasteland and reclaim the wasteland. Now, it seems, this is a troublesome matter.

But fortunately, there were not many people coming, and there were thousands more, Zhang Xi gritted his teeth and included some land near mountains and rivers into the fish scale atlas, a little more compact, it should be able to accommodate these people.

But the subsequent development of things was completely out of control.

One day in January, Zhang Xi was having a headache with the division of settlements in the government office, when suddenly Wen Dai came to report that there was a large group of people in the east who were heading for Qichun County, and the number was more than 20,000.

When Zhang Xi heard this, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and the soldiers went to the city to guard the city, Wen Dai was the official of the pheasant guarding the city, and Zhao Lei was the deputy to prepare to defend the city.

And Zhang Xi himself, with Guan Ping and 500 soldiers, crossed the river by boat to Qichun County to organize a defense.

To the east of Jiangxia is Lujiang County.

Lujiang County is now divided into two parts, one part is Jiangdong's territory, and the other part is Cao Wei's territory from Lujiang County.

Therefore, Zhang Xi stayed in Qichun County for several days, organized the defense, and at the same time asked the Wen Ping behind him for reinforcements.

Within a few days, Zhang Xi did see this "big army" from Lujiang, which was carrying carts and dragging families and mouths, which did not look like an army, but like a group of fleeing homeless people.

But if it's a homeless person, this number is indeed too much. There is no end in sight, but a rough estimate is at least more than 20,000 people.

Zhang Xi still didn't dare to be careless, until a person who called himself Lei Xu went to Qichun City to shout, and Zhang Xi came forward and talked to others.

This person named Lei Xu claimed to be the leader of these homeless people, because he couldn't go on in the Lujiang River, and heard about Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness, so he rushed to defect.

Then the goods then asked, Jiangxia resettlement of displaced people, whether to give land. Zhang Xi's intestines are about to repent, there are so many of you, where can I find so much land for you.

But now the people came from the east to take refuge in Liu Bei, although most of them were homeless, but there were also some private armed people, Zhang Xi naturally did not dare to be careless, nor did he dare to be arbitrary.

On the one hand, he asked Wen Dai to lead the troops to strengthen the vigilance, and asked his father Wen Ping to quickly send troops to support.

On the other hand, he quickly reported to Guan Yu and asked Guan Yu to report to Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to decide.

After doing these responses, Zhang Xi, under the protection of Guan Ping, personally went to Lei Xu's military camp and informed Lei Xu that he had reported to Liu Bei, and asked Lei Xu to be patient and wait for Liu Bei's reply.

Before that, Lei Xu was asked to temporarily live outside the city, and as for the use of the army, Zhang Xi would send someone to support one or two.

This Lei Xu probably really came to defect to Liu Bei, he was extremely respectful to Zhang Xi's words, and he didn't ask too much, what Zhang Xi asked him to do, he really did it.

This made Zhang Xi feel a little relieved, and then continued to squat in Qichun City, waiting for Liu Bei's order.

And this wait, about half a month.

Liu Bei sat on a boat, went down the Yangtze River, and came to Qichun in person.
