In fact, Wang Yue's grand plan is sparking fierce resistance along the Great Wall of Water.

The reason is what Tong Guan said.

His plan was to shrink the Great Wall and then withdraw more fertile land, including a large number of paddy fields, but the result was to turn the paddy fields originally occupied by the gentry along the Great Wall into dry fields, where they could grow rice, but after Wang Yue's plan was implemented, their paddy fields could only grow millet.

It has no effect on Wang Yue.

Because the land increased after the water recedes can also be cultivated for rice planting.

But......

It was not the land of these gentry.

The newly cultivated land was brought back by Wang Yue from all over the country, and the gentry could not have benefited, but they had to bear the losses after the rice was turned into millet.

They're definitely not going to do it.

They could also use this reason to encourage the tenants, after all, it was also a loss for the tenants, and eventually it turned into a large-scale battle between the immigrants who dug the channels in Wen'anwa and the local tenants under the command of the gentry. The two sides used various cold weapons, including bows and crossbows, and even dispatched cavalry to engage in melee, and by the time the victorious army was dispatched to forcibly stop it, both sides had suffered more than 100 casualties. When Wang Yue arrived in a hurry, a large-scale civil uprising had already occurred, and tens of thousands of young people from Baoding Army, Mozhou, Xiongzhou and other places launched an armed confrontation with tens of thousands of immigrants.

"Ma, if only there was this formation when fighting with the Jurchens."

Wang Yue said speechlessly.

On both sides of the channel in front of him, countless young men confronted each other with weapons, constantly shouting and scolding across the channel, and some shooting at each other with bows and arrows......

This is normal.

Because Hebei belonged to the front line in the past, there were bow and arrow societies everywhere, and the price of bows and arrows skyrocketed in order to buy bows and arrows, and most of those immigrants came back from Liaodong, and they were also good at playing bows and arrows, so it was inevitable to take out bows and arrows to attack each other in this case.

"King, there is an organization behind this.

The news that the last general will get is that the first person to do it is a local family surnamed Liu in Wen'an, and his son is a Juren, and he has a very good relationship with Cai Songnian, the son of Cai Jing of Zhihejian Mansion, and Cai Songnian had just been to their house the day before the Liu family made trouble. In addition, after the commotion broke out here, Cai Jing immediately gave an order to various places with the pacification envoy of Hejian Fu Road, although the order was to prevent trouble, but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a notice to all places, otherwise so many young people would not have gathered so quickly. In addition, the Zhibaoding Army and Zhixiong Prefecture, plus the magistrates and counties in various places, all sat idly by and watched this matter, and even the magistrates of Dacheng County also obstructed those immigrants and arrested more than a dozen immigrants. ”

Shi Jin said.

Although Wang Yue took over Hejian and other mansions, he was also a court official after all, and as long as these magistrates did not escape, he would keep them for the time being, after all, this area was not Yanshan Mansion.

It is useless to simply appoint a few officials, because it is the gentry who actually control the ranks.

The gentry had to be cleansed first.

Yanshan Mansion took advantage of the Jurchen invasion, and those gentry became the leading party, and then he was purged on the charge of traitors, and basically except for a very few who were spared, all the others were killed, so that he really controlled the grassroots. And Da Song has not found a reason for this, and now these guys are so stupid that they handed him the knife, so there is nothing to say......

"They just can't wait to taste the iron fist of dictatorship?"

Wang Yue said speechlessly.

With that, he walked towards the chaotic scene ahead.

This guy is still riding a moose, this thing is just not heat-tolerant, but it is only the beginning of spring, and it is still very suitable.

His appearance made the two sides who were already on the verge of fighting again immediately stop, and looked at him with some awe, the king who was high on the moose was indeed quite a bit fairy.

The locals involved in the fight were basically all tenants, or called customers by the name of this time, but they were not limited to customers, and the tenants of the Song Dynasty included but were not limited to customers. Because according to the fifth-class household registration in the rural areas of the Song Dynasty, the fourth-class households can be roughly regarded as self-cultivated farmers, and the fifth-class households are no longer able to support themselves with their own land, at most their own families have a few acres of land, but they mainly have to rely on farming for those landlords. Fifth-class households and customers can basically account for 60 to 70 percent in the rural areas, that is to say, 60 to 70 percent of the population depends on working as tenants for landlords to make a living.

However, the Song Dynasty had a stronger one than the Ming Dynasty, that is, the number of super large landlords was very small.

Of course, there are.

But like Xu Xiake's great-grandfather in the Ming Dynasty, the Wuxi Hua family, etc., who were not eunuchs but were businessmen who owned hundreds of thousands of acres of land, it was actually wrong to say that the Song Dynasty valued business, and the merchants of the Song Dynasty were far less powerful than the merchants in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Song Dynasty merchants were small merchants.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty were promoted to capitalists.

"I know you're being instigated!"

Wang Yue shouted at the young men on the local side.

The latter looked at him silently.

"So can we do something that is good for both of us?"

Wang Yue said.

The latter looked at him quizzically.

"Go and arrest those who incite you to make trouble, and then I will confiscate his family's land as official land, but these official fields will still be cultivated for you, but you don't need to pay rent to the landlord, only pay me the land endowment. Of course, this field endowment is more than in the past, after all, you can't let me not get anything at all, let's double your past field endowment, and then the rest is your own. ”

Wang Yue said.

The latter looked at him in amazement.

"Still don't understand?"

Wang Yue said with a smile.

"I repeat, if you go back and arrest the gentry who instigated you to make trouble, and if any accident occurs during your arrest of them, such as the loss of food and money in their family, or even the loss of livestock, this is not to be traced by the law. Then I will confiscate the land of these gentry who were captured by you as official land, and in the future, you will continue to plant these fields, but since they are official fields, your land endowment will be doubled as my share in the past, and the land rent you originally had to pay will be your share after the land endowment.

Got it now? ”

Wang Yue said.

A group of people, including Shi Jin beside him, were all dumbfounded, and looked at him dumbfounded.

Then one of the crowd came to his senses......

"Don't listen to him, there is no such law in the imperial court!"

He shouted in horror.

"It is true that the Great Song Dynasty did not have such a law, but that was not before, and from now on the Great Song Dynasty will have such a law.

Court?

The court is up to me!

The law?

I am the law! ”

Wang Yue roared.

As he spoke, the axe in his hand appeared out of thin air, holding it above his head like a flag.

"What do you see, if there is such a good thing, what kind of paddy field becomes dry field, and that little grain is comparable to the rent you pay? Brothers, hurry up and arrest your landlord and send it to the King of Zhongshan here, don't forget to let their family have a few less bags of grain and a few fewer cattle and sheep by the way! ”

Shi Jin shouted without hesitation.

"Folks, don't listen to their ......"

The man screamed in horror.

But the next moment the young tenants around him suddenly turned around, and roared excitedly, and swept away like a flood, and he was immediately swept down in front of the torrent, and before he could struggle, he was trampled in the face by a big foot. Then he raised his hands as if drowning, but then a second big foot was on his neck, and then one big foot after another passed over him, and soon his raised arms hung limply. And the news continued to spread at a very fast speed, and all the young men who heard and understood its meaning all turned around and rushed to the rear with the same excited roar as here, to arrest the landlords behind them, and then hand them over to Wang Dawang.

That's it!

Compared with land rent, the reduction in yield caused by the conversion of paddy fields into dry fields is simply not worth mentioning!

What happened to the dry fields?

The dry field is also watered land, millet and wheat are also indispensable two stone pure grain, rice can not be planted here, a season of rice will produce three stone grain, and finally it is more than two stones of pure grain, and the yield is limited to increase compared with corn and wheat rotation.

But......

More than half of the production is given to the landlord!

As long as you don't have to pay rent to the landlord, let alone water the land like this, even the dry land that relies purely on the rain can feed a family! Isn't it just to pay double the field endowment? Even if the annual field is doubled, it only accounts for two percent of the output, but the landlord wants fifty percent or even sixty percent, which is worth it to understand without thinking, who has this benefit who is idle and hurts to give the landlord a hard time?

"The king's move is really wise, so that none of those gentry have the ability to rebel, we don't have to work hard, these people will do everything themselves."

Shi Jin sighed sincerely.

Of course, he didn't know that Wang Dawang had learned this from others.

That's what Zhu Yuanzhang did!

Find an excuse to copy the Jiangnan gentry's house, tie the people with knives and force them to go to Fengyang to open up the wasteland, and then confiscate the cadastral of the people as official land, and hand it over to the original tenants to continue farming, the latter gave him a land endowment twice as high as the private land, he beat the local tyrants and tenants to share happily together, and then the Suzhou gentry couldn't bear it anymore, and called on the people on the street to overthrow the tyrant, and the people sent him to the government.

"By the way, the whole family of those arrested landlords was sent to Cangzhou to open up wasteland!"

Wang Yue said.

If you want to learn, you can learn the whole set.

"King, it's better to throw them farther, Yang Zongmin is lacking in wasteland and farming."

Shi Jin said.

Wang Yue changed the name of Fengshengzhou to Xuanhua Mansion, and then took Yang Zongmin as the Xuanda Xuanfu envoy to take charge of this land that the Great Song Dynasty had just acquired, but the population loss there was too serious, so it was in urgent need of population filling, and Yang Zongmin was also searching for population everywhere to open up the wasteland.

"No, it's close to the White Tatars, these gentry already hate us, and if anyone defects to the White Tatars to teach them our techniques, there will be endless troubles."

Wang Yue said.
