In order to survive, the people were forced to leave their hometowns and flee to the mountains and Daze to find a place to live.

Up to now, natural disasters have continued in various places, and sometimes there have been Yellow Turban Rebellions and tyranny of harsh officials, and the diseases of the displaced people are even more serious, and the scale is so large, such as locusts crossing the border, and the harm is very profound.

Of course, in addition to natural disasters, military disasters, and harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, another important reason has to be mentioned, that is, land annexation.

Land, the basis of the peasants' survival, has become more and more concentrated in the hands of a small number of big landlords and bureaucrats with the exorbitant taxation and forcible seizure. Especially in disaster years, in order to survive, farmers sold their land and real estate and became tenant farmers. If we add the war disaster, the people who have no land and cannot live will become the main force among the displaced people.

And as the displacement intensified, the ensuing social upheaval was often a harbinger of the overthrow of the dynasty. However, as a country of small farmers, land has always been a coveted thing for everyone, and annexation has become an incurable and stubborn disease.

Now that the state has been merged, but it has only changed hands for more than a month, and it has not yet been stabilized, the matter of land has been favored by many people with a heart, not to mention that the local heroes will not let the land in their hands be seized, that is, the emerging forces are also in full swing to stuff their own pockets to take benefits.

"20,000 hectares?? I didn't expect Lin'er to be so powerful, and in just a few years, he got so much land for his family, no wonder it has been a lot more difficult to get land in Xihe and Sufang over the years, and it turned out that they all went to Lin'er's hands...... "In the study, although Jiang Qi threw the book Chinese in his hand with anger, but the people in the house were all his elders, and they were more enthusiastic than the number of 20,000, and Jiang Xiang blurted out immediately.

"Does that uncle think it's more or less??" Seeing that none of the people present saw the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Qi laughed instead of being angry.

"Naturally, there are few! Bo Xiao is the lord of the state, and there are tens of millions of lands in the state, how can the number of 20,000 be considered too much, not to mention that the family in the house needs to be supported, if there is no land, how can the family live, at the moment it is not a family, or an ordinary wealthy family does not have a thousand acres of good land......" Jiang Qi's surprise, Jiang Xiang still disagreed, and then replied indifferently.

"A thousand acres of fertile land...... It's really Zhumen's wine and meat, the road has frozen bones, and now the displaced people are everywhere, starvation is everywhere, and the court is in danger, I didn't expect my uncle to be like the unkind people in the world, taking the people as dogs...... "For the insensitivity of the world, Jiang Qi has long seen it in his eyes, but he didn't expect that his family is the same, and he couldn't help but shake his head when he heard it.

"Is Boxiao too serious, in Luoyang is my clan also saved a lot of good land, this is also normal, all the big clans in the world are like this, let's just say that when the army started, if there was no good land in the clan, how could there be money and food to supply the soldiers??" Seeing that Jiang Qi attached great importance to the issue of land, Jiang Hai was also a little puzzled, and then said with the same incomprehension.

"Since my uncle has said so, then Qi dares to ask, if the big families continue to annex land domestication forces like my Jiang family, and one day my Jiang family loses power, what will happen?" A little bit of small profit, just looking at what he got in front of him, Jiang Qi was disappointed, and then asked rhetorically.

"What do you mean by Boxiao??" I have to say that Jiang Qi's rhetorical question is worth thinking about, even if there is a big fuss in Jiang Qi in his heart, Jiang Hai still said in passing, hoping to know Jiang Qi's purpose.

"This is the purpose of today's nephew to invite the three uncles, Qi hopes that the three uncles will take the lead in withdrawing from the annexed land in their hands, and persuade the clansmen to also release the land in their hands to the government, Qi will not let the clansmen suffer, and the government will buy back all the land at a reasonable price......" There is no need to be false and wronged in front of the Ming people, Jiang Qi said bluntly.

"What!! Boxiao, you let us hand over the land in our hands, the land is the root, then there is no land, what will the family do in the future! Boxiao! You are a state pastor, the clansmen have always supported you, asking for money for money, asking people to give people, why do you have to get some benefits now, and you have to quit! Why did you turn your elbow outward, and besides, there is so much land in the state, why can't you let us get a little more, we all know over the years, you have distributed all the land to the homeless, and the taxes have been reduced again and again. I don't know if you are so good to the untouchables, why are you embarrassed for us...... "Pepsi comes first, and Jiang Qi's request at the moment is nothing more than a tiger's mouth, and Jiang Xi, who is short-tempered, will not agree.

"Yes! Boxiao, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten your identity, you are a child of a family, born to be above the market. Besides, in the current troubled times, it is the time to expand one's strength, what is strength, that is food, as long as there is food, what can't be done. But if you want to have food, you must have land, and if you give all the good land to the people, although you can collect taxes, but no matter how much you collect, there will be no land for yourself. Why are you confused...... "Not only Jiang Xi, Jiang Xiang, who is the most obsessed with money among the brothers, now holds the most land in his hands, and at first he thought that Jiang Qi would let them stop the merger and acquisition, but he didn't think that he would not only stop, but also spit out the fat meat, how could he agree, even if he answered, he objected.

"What does the eldest uncle mean??" had long expected that things would not go well, Jiang Qi did not be fierce, and then looked at the current head of the family, his opinion was more related to the direction of the matter.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if what you just said gets out? At present, it is not only my Jiang clan who has annexed land, but also your staff and generals, and the land in their hands will not be less, plus the wealthy families and families in various parts of the state, the fertile land in their hands accounts for at least thirty percent of the state. You suddenly want to take back the land from your people, so what's next? Maybe the clansmen will listen to you because of family affection, but the family and the wealthy family are not easy to get along with, and if you don't get it right, there will be a big mess......" Uncomfortable with the short-sightedness of the two brothers, Jiang Hai, who became the head of the family, saw a deeper meaning, whether he was stingy with the land in his hands or not, Jiang Hai curved and analyzed.

"Chaos?? Don't be afraid, isn't it messy enough now? Big break, big rule! Qi is more willing to govern and merge the state from scratch, it is better than burying hidden dangers in the future! I just wonder if the three uncles can support their nephews again? Where Jiang Hai could see, how could Jiang Qi not know, but he still said firmly.

"What if we don't agree??" Obedient and listening, who can not hear Jiang Qi's decision, but in the face of interests, he can't retreat, and Jiang Xi, who is the most anxious, asked.

“…… It's okay, Qi has nothing to say...... My uncle is my elder, and Qi doesn't dare to rebel. Even if he didn't say anything about it today, his uncle could go back...... "Words are not speculative, in the face of people who recognize money and don't recognize people, Jiang Qi has nothing to say, just stared straight at the angry uncle for a long time, and finally said coldly after a weird smile.

"You...... You ......" Jiang Qi's eyes were different, plus he had killed countless people, he could scare crying women and children at a glance, not to mention staring at it all the time, Jiang Xi's vest immediately became cold, and he seemed to feel the murderous intent, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Qi can have today can not forget the help of the clan, let alone the support of the uncles, what Qi said this time is indeed hindering everyone's interests, but for the sake of long-term survival, Qi must do so, I hope my uncle can understand." Although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, Jiang Qi didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, and then changed his tone.

"That's it! Enough is enough! You know money every day, when has Qi'er treated you badly since he came home, if it weren't for him, would you be where you are today?? Ask yourself! At present, the world is in turmoil, and Qi'er is the time to consider the overall situation, if the matter of the land is not important, he will give you words like this. All right! Speaking of which, let's listen to Qi'er's arrangement first, and then ...... words, "Noisy and shouting, I have been quietly watching the changes, as a person who has been in charge of the family for decades, Jiang Qun has long been accustomed to conflicts of interest, and he is very clear about the little Jiujiu in the hearts of several sons, but as an old man, he saw Jiang Qi's killing intent in a flash, and immediately made a tone and said.

"Grandfather Xie doesn't blame...... Uncles, tomorrow the annexation of the prefecture will announce to the counties, and the prefecture will set up a tuntian office, and the bureau will take back all the land under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, and in the future, except for the permanent field given by the government, all the land farmers will only have the right to use it, and they will not be allowed to sell it, and they will only need to collect the transaction tax in the future. As for the original land owner, the Tun Tin Department will purchase it according to the specifications and will not lose everyone. In addition, he also revealed to his uncle that in the next step, the Qi Society ordered the dismantling of the Wubao and the state, and all those who recruited private soldiers were disbanded and their weapons were confiscated. Therefore, I hope that after my uncle returns home, he will mobilize the private soldiers in the clan, and take advantage of the fact that troops are being recruited in various places at the moment, and run for a future...... "It is not unexpected, Jiang Qi has expected that his grandfather can see the current situation clearly, and will support himself, rest assured that Jiang Qi thanked him, and then said his decision."

"Take it all back...... Boxiao, do you know how much land there is for the wealthy families and wealthy families in Bingzhou, and if it is according to the market price, how much money can be recovered before the government has it? ? In addition, if you divide the recovered land to the people and only collect taxes, according to the current tax of the state, there will be no money to collect for decades, which is completely thankless! What's more, your method of tuntian is not customized by the imperial court, if Boxiao is transferred one day, will what you do today be too much? ? What's more, the matter of confiscating private soldiers, are you trying to force the clan to rebel......" As soon as they heard what Jiang Qi said, everyone realized that they had already made a decision, and it didn't matter if they agreed or not tonight, but after looking back, Jiang Hai was worried.

"Yes! Boxiao, are you too whimsical, have you ever thought about it, when it comes to the matter of land resumption today, we disagree with it like this, let alone other families. But before the land matter began, you still started fighting other people's private soldiers. Yes, we know that the recruitment of soldiers and horses is hindered now, and we have no objection to letting our soldiers join the army. But other people don't think so? At present, the world is in turmoil, raising soldiers is self-preservation, such as if Bo Xiao is forced to collect troops while collecting the land, and the state is in chaos...... "Young and frivolous, at this moment in Jiang Xiang's heart, Jiang Qi is a boy who has always been successful, and he is very optimistic about Jiang Qi's idea.

Jiang Qi listened to the words of persuasion, but he did not move his heart, and then only smiled and walked to the box that was carried into the house earlier, and said while opening it: "The words of the two uncles, Qi has expected it, and will be prepared, as long as the uncles agree to cooperate with Qi, as for chaos, Qi is not afraid, compared to the opposite of the family, Qi has the support of millions of suffering people, and he is very afraid, even if he fights and merges the state again, Qi has decided to do so...... Of course, Qi knew that this land acquisition would cause the clansmen to suffer losses, and Qi was a child of the Jiang family, so naturally he couldn't lose his clansmen. There are some things in front of him, which Qi asked his mother to prepare earlier, two boxes for each of the three uncles, and the rest will be distributed to the clansmen, even if Qi supplements the losses of the clansmen this time, in addition, the state will vigorously prosper the city in the near future, and I hope that these money can make the clan better develop business and trade! At that time, the tax will also be preferential......"

Money can make ghosts grind, just now a complaint made everyone forget the huge box in the house, but when Jiang Qi opened it, the yellow and white things inside immediately solved all the problems, even Jiang Xi, who was still a little depressed, was immediately excited: "Boxiao, Boxiao...... You got so much money from there, fifty million years ago......"

"It doesn't matter how much, it's just a piece of Qi's mind, hoping to win the forgiveness of the clansmen with this compensation, and besides, Qi's today is all the clansmen's sacrifice of life and death, how can the clansmen be harmed. All right! I have been disturbing my uncles for a long time today, the hour is not early, and the Qi will not stay long, so the Qi outside the house will prepare the carriage, and let the soldiers go back with the uncle later...... As for the matter of recovering the land, after Captain Tuntian takes office, he will personally go to the clan to negotiate the matter, and if there is any difference at that time, we will talk about it. "It can't be said that money is open-minded, but there is money to solve the problem, Jiang Qi will not be stingy, it is obvious that at this moment, judging from his face, he has made a decision.

"Alright! Since Bo Xiao insisted, we didn't say much, but Bo Xiao was too polite...... "Money is supplemented, everyone is happy, no matter what happens in the future, but it is also a good start, immediately in a smile, send each other away."

But in the parting, Jiang Qun, who had never spoken, was not quiet in his heart, for decades of life, he could speculate about the things of people's hearts, and immediately worried about the future of the family. Just now, he saw a lot of women's ornaments from the wooden box he opened, so he expected that Jiang Qi was likely to take out all the money in the house, including the ornaments of his family.

In this way, it is said to be a piece of mind, but in fact, it is a kind of determination, a kind of determination that can make oneself have no worries. It is conceivable that Jiang Qi let himself bankrupt and compensate for it, if the next change is still hindered by the clansmen, I am afraid that the butcher's knife will appear.

Of course, maybe Jiang Qun can also be comforted, Jiang Qicheng's mansion is deep, and he is also ruthless, and he is no longer the young boy he was back then. In troubled times, only such people can achieve better things.

As Jiang Qun thought, when Jiang Qi's notice spread all over the state, Xi Zhicai took over as the county guard of Sufang, and returned to Taiyuan to form the Tuntian Agency as the captain of Tuntian, and began to reclaim all the land.

But they hoped to threaten Jiang Qi, but it was Jin Ge Iron Horse, when the defenders in various places received the order to counter-insurgency, all the clans who dared to oppose ushered in a bloody suppression, not only the old and young suffered heavy casualties, but also confiscated countless homes and lands in the name of rebellion. In just a few months, more than 1,000 people died in the revolution, and many wealthy families who had been more than 100 years old returned to the beginning overnight.

For the sake of the family's future, although he was very reluctant, in front of the knife and axe, the family, who gradually understood the current affairs, bowed his head and began to cooperate with the decision-making of the state government, and abandoned the land to engage in business. Of course, there are also those who are willing to guard the land, but the government has not issued the right, as long as the tax is paid according to the amount, the area of cultivation can still be negotiated. In this way, the land can still be planted, and the government can still get a sum of money to buy the land, why not, and gradually there will be fewer objections.

However, the only drawback is that now everyone can divide the land from the government and cultivate the land, and the cost of hiring people to cultivate the land is more expensive than the original tenant farming. But some problems are difficult for the families and wealthy families, because only the people who can divide the land are the people who settle down in the state, and there are many farmers in other state capitals who cannot live.
