Twenty-six days ago.

The Zhanghe River will not be frozen, and the river surface will not be able to ride on ice and horses, and it will be difficult to sail because of the ice floes.

The fast horse swept through the ankle-deep snow, and the rider shouted at the door of the shop: "The prince has a great victory, two hundred miles are urgent!" ”

The delivery shop official immediately brought people to hand over the handover, and while sending cavalry to continue to spread the message to the south, he asked people to ride into the county seat with Lubu held high.

Not long after, in Feixiang County, there were officials and hand-made soldiers running back and forth.

They announced the good news from the front line along the streets, and then put up the Lubu as a notice.

The owner of a stationery store is called Jia Zongfu, he is facing the fire in the store with his sleeves folded, and vaguely hears key words such as "great victory", and is busy running to the street to inquire about the situation.

A moment later, Jia Zongfu took his wife and children out of the city in a donkey cart to a rural mansion in the suburbs.

He rushed into the inner courtyard, knelt in the snow and cried and shouted: "Father, Master Wang has won a great victory, my Jia family can return to his hometown!" ”

The Jia family, the first family in Zhending.

Its ancestor was Jia Tan, the Duke of Wei in the Tang Dynasty, who lived in Nanpi, and moved to Zhending at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and gradually became an ordinary family.

has a son, Jia Wei, who was recommended in the fifth generation, and gradually rose to prominence, and even participated in the revision of the "Old Tang Book".

There is another son, Jia Yan, who is Zhao Guangyi's minister of the palace, and has been the deputy envoy of the third division all the way.

Zhending Jia's family is thriving again.

Its marriage families are all over Sichuan, Jiangxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Jinghu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the marriage objects are both civil officials, military generals and clans.

Jia Fan is Fan Zhongyan's second son-in-law, because he opposed Wang Anshi's change of law, he instigated the people under his rule to petition at a higher level.

Fan Chunren, the son of Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo, the privy envoy, Han Wei, the scholar, Yang Hui, the imperial historian, and Liu Zhi, the superintendent of the imperial history, cooperated with the petition incident, and everyone joined forces to obstruct the implementation of the new law.

Since then, the Jia family has been involved in the old and new party disputes, and has become the key target of the new party, and the Jia family has gradually declined.

The last two high-ranking officials of the Jia family, one of whom was not accustomed to Cai Jing's indiscriminate casting of tin money, resigned in anger and went to retire, and died of illness seven years ago. One was the deputy envoy of Jianghuai Shipping, actively supported Huashigang, and destroyed the general law of the southeast turn, which won the appreciation of Song Huizong, and died of illness in the office of the servant of the Criminal Department.

At the beginning of the Jin people supporting the puppet emperor in Zhending Mansion, the Zhending Jia clan fled south one after another, unwilling to go out of the puppet dynasty and unwilling to be a dog for the Jin people.

In terms of national righteousness, the Jia family is still clear - there are also a few people who have not left, but there is not much family power left. Those people of the Jia clan who stayed behind could only rely on Huang Qianshan and were cleaned up by Liu Yu.

Zhending Jia ran to Kaifeng Jia, but after the merger of the two Jia clans, more than 1,000 clansmen were targeted by the imperial court and became the third group of families to be divided and relocated.

These split families are not allowed to move their household registration at will for 30 years after obtaining their household registration in the new place.

The Jia family, who migrated to Feixiang County, had a total of more than 30 people.

Some bought shops in the county town to do business, and some spent money to buy fields in the countryside to cultivate (you can spend no money to open up the wasteland, and the government will also provide seeds, but you have to pay to get the ownerless land).

Knowing that Wang Shi recovered Zhending Mansion and moved to Feixiang County, the Jia family went to the county government together to ask to return to their hometown.

Because on the side of Zhending Mansion, the Jia family once owned tens of thousands of acres of fertile land!

Compared with the Zhending Jia family, the majestic Dong family of the manuscript city is just a small local tyrant in the countryside.

"You're going home?" Feixiang County Ling Wang Dalin frowned.

The Jia clan who moved to Feixiang, with Jia Yijian as the leader, said: "The homeland is difficult to give up, and the old age is almost ancient, so I only want the fallen leaves to be buried on the side of the ancestral grave." ”

Wang Dalin said: "This filial piety and righteousness are not as good as the old gentleman's centennial birthday, and then the coffin will be escorted back to his hometown for burial by his descendants?" ”

These words almost blew up Jia Yijian's lungs, he wanted to return to his hometown alive to take his family property, instead of lying in a coffin and returning to his hometown to be buried!

"Please call the shots of the prefectural order!" Jia Yijian made another move.

Wang Dalin was puzzled: "The division of the demolition and relocation of the big clans is the decision of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, where can I change a county order?" You have settled in Feixiang, and your descendants are not allowed to migrate again within 30 years. If you want to return to your hometown, you must get the consent of the head of the household, why don't you write a letter to the head of the household? ”

Jia Yijian was finally furious, and pointed at Wang Dalin with a cane: "The Jia family is really determined, the eunuchs have been prominent for generations, the in-laws are all over Kyushu, and there are countless virtuous children and grandchildren. You dare to insult the Jia family even with a small county order, aren't you afraid that you will be punished in the future? ”

Wang Dalin was also angry, slammed the table case and said: "Your Jia family was a eunuch in the late Song Dynasty, but I am the county order of the new Ming Dynasty, and I don't use the wealth of the previous dynasty to show my authority." If you dare to roar at the court, you will fork it out! ”

The two sides parted unhappily.

Wang Dalin was also from a southern wang family, and he was originally sympathetic to the Jia family.

But splitting up the migrating clan is a central decree, how could he go to the Shangshu Imperial Court to ask for a change in the order of the household department in order to help the Jia family return to his hometown?

In the following year, the people of the Jia clan, who were separated from various places, began to communicate with each other, and sent people to Kaifeng to beg for help.

But it's useless, this matter has to be signed and sealed by Qian Chen, the head of the household department!

……

There are many similar families, and the Jia family belongs to the most powerful one.

It is precisely because of its strength that it is targeted by the imperial court, and the smaller families can run back to their hometowns on their own.

Zhu Ming said to Zong Ze: "In many cases of property disputes, we should be more biased towards the families who fled south. They knew the righteousness of their family and country, and they were unwilling to submit to the Jurchen barbarians, but because their family went south to the Ming Dynasty, they were seized by the family who invested in gold. This is unconscionable, and they cannot be wronged! ”

"Yes."

Zong Ze doesn't care about this, although his family has been scholarly for generations, it is still far from becoming a big family.

Zong's ancestral home is Nanyang, and he moved to Jiangnan in the fifth generation. Because he couldn't bear the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, he moved his family to the mountainous area of Yiwu and struggled to survive and reproduce by clearing the wasteland and farming.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the taxes were slightly lighter, and the Zong family moved out of the mountains.

But it is still a family in a small place in the countryside, and after more than 100 years of reproduction, it is difficult to sustain the family with few people and many people, and Zong Ze's father migrated with some of his clansmen.

Zhu Ming said: "Whether it is a big family who invests in gold or a big family who returns to their hometown, everything is subject to the land deed. If the land deed cannot be obtained, the land property shall be confiscated and distributed to the displaced tenants. The officers and soldiers of Hebei and the anti-Jin rebels should give priority to the ownerless fertile land! ”

"Yes." Zong Ze wrote down.

Zhu Ming continued: "If there are more than 300 clansmen and they are not separated, they will be ordered to immediately divide their property and households. If there are more than 500 people who have not yet separated, they will forcibly split up and move elsewhere. Take advantage of the war that has just ended, and quickly cut through the chaos to suppress them! ”

Zong Ze reminded: "Your Highness, this kind of thing is very difficult to do, and the local clans will definitely unite with the officials to disobey the order." They don't dare to openly disobey, but they can disobey the yang and the yin, and the county order and the main book will be deceived if they don't pay attention to it. If the county ordinance and the main book are insufficient, even the government decree cannot go out of the county seat. ”

Zhu Ming said: "Then send an order to the chief and second officials of each county, if they can't control the local clans, they can apply for the transfer of troops to do things, and I will give them 300 soldiers in each county." I don't think they're incompetent, and if I get things done, I'll reward them! ”

"Yes!"

Zong Ze sighed in his heart, the disobedient Hebei clan was about to suffer, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly used the army.

Hebei is in a mess, and all counties are in ruins, so they can just be spread into acres. (Engaging in the practice of spreading the land into the mu now is actually not conducive to the resumption of production in Hebei, because it will discourage the enthusiasm of opening up more wasteland.) However, it is conducive to the recovery of Hebei's population, and people will be more willing to register for household registration and have more children. When the population increases, after one or two decades, they will naturally be keen on clearing the wasteland. ）

Zong Ze, as the political envoy of Zuobu in Hebei, finally moved the provincial capital to Zhending a few days ago.

The political envoy of Youbu is in charge of the relocation of the provincial capital, and all the officials will be able to take up their posts before the beginning of spring.

The crown prince is located in the palace of the puppet dynasty.

The Yamen of the Chief Minister, located in the official residence of Dazai of the puppet dynasty.

Zong Ze took the car back to the political secretary, and Dong Ti had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Let's go inside." Zong Ze said angrily.

Dong Ti hurriedly bowed his head and followed, and entered the yamen of the political secretary together.

As soon as he arrived in the inner hall, Dong Ti knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "Please save the Dong family!" ”

Zong Ze asked rhetorically: "What's wrong with the Dong family?" ”

Dong Ti said: "Before the draft city county order to let the soldiers replace the ya, on the side of the county government hall, a room was specially used to receive the complaint. He also ordered all the clansmen of my Dong family to hand over the land deeds and house deeds of the family to the county government for registration and registration......"

Zong Ze pretended to be confused and said, "Isn't this how it should be?" If the real estate and land of the Dong family are not handed over to the county government for registration, is it possible that they still plan to evade taxes? ”

"No......" Dong Ti said anxiously, "Many shops and fields have been damaged and lost for a long time, how can they be taken out for a while?" ”

Zong Ze sneered: "It's not just these things, right? ”

Dong Ti panicked: "The prince has an order when he fights with the Jin people, and he is not to blame for his previous sins. Can...... But the draft of the city and county order, after receiving the complaint, turned over the old accounts, this is to ruin the prince's reputation and prestige! ”

Zong Ze said: "What the prince said is not to blame in the past, but he is referring to someone. Your Excellency helped to seize the real meritorious service, and of course the prince is not to blame in the past. But you can't make a great contribution, the entire Dong family has merit, right? In that case, if there are people from the Dong clan who commit murder and break the law in the future, you will not deal with them if you abide by the law? ”

Dong Ti was speechless, because what Zong Ze said was so reasonable.

Zong Ze said: "The county order is really determined, and he is about to take office." The Dong family in Zhending County also has to come up with the house deed and land deed. If you can't take it, those properties are not the Dong family's. If someone comes to sue and says that the Dong family has usurped their property, then the Dong family's deed will also be invalidated. ”

Dong Ti was so weak when he heard it that he almost collapsed on the spot.

The Jia family, the largest family in Zhending Mansion, fled south to the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of industries they couldn't take away were divided up by the puppet officials.

Now, you have to spit out everything you eat!

How can there be such a good thing in the world? You are used as dogs for the golden people, and you take the opportunity to seize other people's property. Now that the Ming Dynasty has come back, you have become successful and successful, not only have you not suffered any losses, but the industry has also expanded several times.

Zong Ze stared at Dong Ti and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is true to his word, since you have made meritorious contributions, then you will not be blamed for the past." Honestly hand over the property that has been embezzled in the past two years, and no longer care about the bad things of other clansmen, the prince will definitely not hold you accountable for your faults again, and even let you continue to be an official. The entire Dong family, only you! ”

Dong Ti knelt in place for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "Please recommend the Prime Minister of the Sect, I am willing to take my wife and children to move to the place of office to settle down, and never return to Zhending Mansion and Manuscript City!" ”

"That's right." Zong Ze smiled.

It is equivalent to Dong Ti migrating with his parents, wife and children, cutting off the entire Dong family, and he can no longer contact his hometown in the future, even Dong Ti's own brothers.

In this way, it not only dealt with the Dong family, but also guaranteed the credibility of the prince.
