Chapter Ninety-Six: Acres of Land Limit, Return Home
There is a humane system, and the number of acres of land owned by the villagers cannot exceed 10,000 mu at most, which is the so-called red line of 10,000 mu.
Previously, the Zhou family was busy developing business, and it was only at the request of Zhou Bai that it was added to nearly 10,000 mu, so it was naturally not violated.
Now that Zhou Bai has been promoted, the ancestral house has turned into a red house, and the family has been promoted to a county tycoon, and 10,000 acres of fertile land are obviously not enough.
According to the system, as long as the number of acres of land owned by the county hao does not exceed 50,000 mu, it is not considered to exceed the family status.
As for the county, it is 100,000 acres of fertile land, and the land of a family can reach some small countries in ancient times.
These regulations are not explicitly stipulated, but there is no family that has lasted for a long time and dares to violate them at will.
Because this involves the restriction of luck in the underworld, if you are a township and have to exceed 10,000 acres, then what awaits the family will be a catastrophe.
It may be that the ancestral spirit has been calamitized and has not been able to protect the family since then, or it may be that some descendants of the family have fallen into bad luck and cannot get out.
As soon as there were many cases, the later family would never ask for hardships and break through the limit of luck.
It is estimated that the first humanist dynasty could not have imagined that land annexation was not prohibited by imperial decree, but that no family dared to violate the restrictions of family personality and luck.
"Although the restrictions on mountain fields are indeed not as strict as those of ordinary farmland, they are also within the framework of acres of land included in the family grid, and for the sake of insurance, one acre of plain farmland can be exchanged for two acres of mountain fields, what do you think?" Ji Hongzhe pondered for a moment.
Zhou Bai said dissatisfiedly: "According to the plan, our clan is currently developing 20,000 acres of barren land at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, so can't it only be exchanged for 40,000 acres of mountain land? Cangshan is so big, who will keep the mountain fields for planting?"
Ji Hongzhe waved his hand and hurriedly explained: "I mean that it is difficult to calculate the number of such irregular acres, and no one has a definite number of how many acres of mountain fields reach the red line.
This is also the reason why many families do not like the special acres of mountain fields and forest fields, and it is impossible to calculate a reasonable conversion number.
If there is less, it is better to cultivate ordinary acres, and if it exceeds the upper limit of what the family can accommodate, the living will suffer, and the ancestral spirit will not be pleased.
Seeing that Ji Hongzhe didn't really mean to be afraid, Zhou Bai simply put forward his own thoughts: "Since this is the case, then I won't exchange fields for fields, we will open the mountain fields of Cangshan by ourselves, how about my Zhou family directly buy the right to use Cangshan?"
"Cangshan is too dangerous, and I don't have the right to approve the right to use it, so I will lease you 100,000 acres of mountain forests for five years." Ji Hongzhe pondered for a long time, and finally proposed a compromise solution.
Although he wants to be transferred, he can't ignore the bottom line and give people approval casually.
"Can you tell me what the hell you're thinking about that mountain? It is not a mountain of gold or silver, nor can it grow rice and wheat."
In the face of doubts, Zhou Bai did not explain, but remembered the changes in the mountains and rivers in various places after the catastrophe in the previous life.
Almost overnight, the world opened the era of aura climax, and mountains and rivers belong to the aura nodes, and precious spiritual veins have been formed in many places.
Cangshan belongs to one of the few mountains in Dingzhou, and the concentration of spiritual energy is naturally not low, and it is also one of the few large-scale spiritual veins in Bei'an County.
It's not the revival of the aura, but the rise of the aura, because the concentration of the aura in the world is not too low now, and it can support many cultivators. ….
At that time, it felt like this world was stimulating their potential, so that all living beings could improve their strength.
Cangshan is his starting place, and in the future, he will even support an obedient mountain god to control this mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease.
He is the patriarch of the Zhou family, even if he has 100,000 mu of mountain fields and 50,000 mu of ordinary land, he doesn't have to worry about exceeding the family limit.
Zhou Bai can rely on the Book of Luck to warn in advance, and once there is a backlash, he can also avoid the punishment in the dark.
Now it's just that the world hasn't been in chaos yet, and the Zhou family will be a little eye-catching if they occupy too many acres, so Zhou Bai can't do too much, otherwise he would have already started to annex the wasteland without restrictions.
Then Zhou Bai reminded Ji Hongzhe that it is necessary to pay attention to preventing the small army of the Jin State from breaking through the Cangshan defense line, and even the large army is not impossible.
It's just that after all, there is Cangbei County, a military state, in front of him, and Ji Hongzhe didn't pay much attention to Zhou Bai's reminder.
But Zhou Bai strongly demanded, and he had to agree, at least coordinate the county soldiers to defend the bitter pass.
Now that the imperial court has not replenished its troops to defend there, it has been very empty, and Ji Hongzhe just wants to seek peace of mind.
Early the next morning, Zhou Bai took the guards and soldiers straight back to Hongni Township, and it only took a few hours to speed up.
The white snow dyes the red mud that can be seen everywhere into snow white, which makes the red mud township have a few different charms.
"Da Da Da Da~" At this time, a team of cavalry came from a distance, and the sound of neat and orderly horse hooves made Zhou Bai a little difficult to identify the person who came.
The county soldiers who were guarding behind Zhou Bai were nervous, and some had even drawn their knives, and they firmly surrounded Zhou Bai in the middle of the team.
However, in the territory of Hongni Township, who else can organize such a large number of cavalry forces, except for their own people.
"Phew, the Inner Mansion Horse Team, I am here to welcome the Mansion Master home!" Zhou Yuan rushed to the horse team with more than 30 horsemen and made a sudden brake, and then turned over and dismounted together, kneeling on one knee to say goodbye.
Zhou Baixi smiled and said, "Haha, okay, the old style really lived up to my expectations and trained a horse team for me!"
When I left three months ago, there were not many horsemen in the entire village protection team who could ride horses, but now more than 30 serious cavalrymen can pull them out.
Zhou Yuan quickly led someone to take over Zhou Bai's defense, and then reminded in a low voice, "The old patriarch and the clansmen greeted each other out of the clan, just behind."
"Xie Yuangong, since you are fine, then we will leave first." The captain of the escorted county soldiers did not have the anger that his position was robbed, but instead breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhou Bai thanked him and handed Zhou Yuan a money bag: "Zhou Yuan, give these brothers a ride for me."
Then, under the escort of his own cavalry, Zhou Bai slowly walked a few miles, and the familiar Zhou buildings appeared in front of him, just right, a group of clansmen were crowded at the intersection that was not spacious, waiting for their patriarch to go home.
"Welcome home, Patriarch!"
"Congratulations to the patriarch for winning the exam, glorifying the ancestors, and promoting the prestige of my Zhou clan!" The neat and loud sound of welcome resounded in the sky, and the faces of each clan were full of joy.
Even those clan elders who are highly respected and self-respecting are full of respect in front of Zhou Bai at this time, this is the well-deserved patriarch of their Zhou family.
"My family!" At this time, an old voice made Zhou Bai unable to hold back any longer, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stumbling in front of the crowd.
Zhou Bai hugged Zhou Mingxuan, who was becoming more and more old, and said half-respectfully and half-complainingly: "Old patriarch, how dare you greet you in this cold and snowy place, this makes me embarrassed to be ashamed of Xie Yuan in the exam."
"Okay, okay, Brother Bai, you know how many years our Zhou family's ancestors have been thinking about the county for many years, but I didn't expect that I would be able to see our people today when I was alive."
"With this step, my Zhou family's ancestors can also look down on the ground! Let's go, you're back now, and we'll go together to pay homage to our ancestors." Zhou Mingxuan wiped his tears excitedly while pulling Zhou Bai to the ancestral hall.
"The patriarch is home!"
The festive gongs and drums began to sound along the road, and Zhou Bai was surrounded by a large group of clansmen and walked towards the ancestral hall.
