Chapter 376: Don't Go Too Far

Cheng Jingzhou frowned, and told him again about the case of Zhang San and Li Si that Xie Xiuqi told him yesterday.

"If that's the case, wouldn't Li Si just be occupied by someone for nothing, and if he has a red deed in the future, it will be impossible for him to return his own land?"

Xie Rongzhao tilted his head and thought about it: "It's not either!" The county government can issue another order, just saying that if the head of the household is suddenly changed, the cause and effect of the matter must be explained to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to hoard land. And in the case you just mentioned, Zhang San obviously broke the law, if he was a smart person, he would not change the red deed, after all, his life and face are more important than those few acres of land. ”

There is truth to that!

But Cheng Jingzhou still felt that it was not appropriate, and he always felt that he had neglected something, and he had to improve it again.

However, Xie Rongzhao's words still provided him with an idea, if he knew this, he should have asked last night, so that at least he could sleep peacefully.

Cheng Jingzhou called the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper and the two county lieutenants together to discuss.

Eventually, they came up with the most comprehensive notice.

As early as Cheng Jingzhou moved the Du family, County Lieutenant Feng knew that it was not easy to avoid this incident, so he asked his family to sell the land that should be sold, and change it to the name of the servant, at least it was not illegal.

The notices were not only posted at the entrance of the county government, but also posted on the two city gates in the county, and Cheng Jingzhou even found two literate officials to guard there.

Not only that, but he also copied hundreds of copies of this notice, and then distributed it to the following towns and villages, striving to make it visible to all the people in Feng County in a short time.

The above is mainly listed according to the two items mentioned by Xie Rongzhao, while the third article is specifically aimed at businessmen.

If it is found that the merchant has excess land in his name, he will be severely punished, and in addition to having the land confiscated, he will also be given 30 rods, imprisoned for six months, and his deeds and portraits will be posted on a notice board outside the county yamen for one year.

This punishment is not insignificant.

But since all the lords of the county government agree, it means that adding this article is a big trouble for those businessmen.

In this way, if there are really businessmen who encroach on the farmer's land, they will not dare to change the red deed at this time, and as for the white deed written before, the government will not count, then what else can they do?

Is it right with the government?

If the common people don't know that there is a red deed, they don't know about it.

However, the county government also sent so many people to publicize it everywhere, and even the most remote villages went to it, so for such a big matter, it was naturally more convincing for the people from the government to stand up.

Don't underestimate such a notice, but in just a few days, dozens of farmers rushed to the county government to inquire, wondering whether the so-called white deed is not counted.

At this time, the person responsible for answering these doubts was the county Cheng Xie Xiuqi.

"It's true, after three days, the white deed in your hands about the land will be invalid. Of course, if someone uses this as a threat and wants to change the IOU, you yourself should be more thoughtful, and don't be deceived again. ”

Most of the farmers who came were bitter old farmers, and when they learned that everything on the notice was true, they couldn't help but cry!

When Xie Xiuqi saw it, he sighed in his heart, daring to be true that someone had forcibly encroached on the land, and it was exactly the method they had guessed before, using the white deed to restrain it, so as to achieve their goal of hoarding the land.

At this moment, many merchants in Feng County were anxious.

The petty traders are okay and are not in such a hurry, after all, they are not capable of doing such a thing, but they are worried about whether the land in their name is exceeded, and whether they will transfer part of the land to the name of their relatives.

And the big businessmen panicked.

Some even have hundreds of acres of land outside, once the county government does not recognize the white deed, isn't it equivalent to thousands of taels of silver have been lost?

But this kind of thing, they can't admit it, and once they do, the punishment they have to face is really too harsh, and it makes them more uncomfortable than the loss of silver.

The notice posted by the county government will give a new red deed after the purging of the zhang, that is, these farmers who have obtained the new red deed, regardless of whether they have signed a white deed with someone or not, do not count.

These big businessmen messed up, but it made some powerful people watch the excitement.

The land of the lord of Jiahua County has been measured, because there are ten hectares of land that are rewarded by the gods, so the families of the villagers who planted these ten hectares of land have become tenant farmers of the lord of Jiahua County.

The land under the name of the county lord of Jiahua did not exceed the regulations, everything was in accordance with the rules, so after the new red deed was exchanged, the lord of Jiahua County finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She is afraid that the people under her will not be able to do things effectively, in case it drags on for a long time and is found out, it will be really troublesome.

Fortunately, things are quite beautiful.

Among them, the county lord of Jiahua naturally also used some means, for example, to hang some fertile land under the name of the servant.

For this, after Cheng Jingzhou read it one by one, he just said that he couldn't do anything, after all, people don't offend Han in this way, and if it is really strictly investigated, people only need to say that it is a reward for the next person, and they can reveal it in one sentence.

Of course, but if you really want to get to the bottom of it, you can naturally find out some cats.

For example, when the property was transferred, whether it had been exceeded, and so on.

Cheng Jingzhou had Xie Xiuwen mention it before, asking him to do things in a certain way, not too much.

And this degree is here.

He can go to check the land of the county lord of Jiahua, but he can't investigate it deeply, otherwise, it will be a problem for the saint, and then the saint will be in a dilemma, even if the county lord of Jiahua is punished, the most disgusting thing for the saint must be Cheng Jingzhou, who gave him a problem.

Therefore, Cheng Jingzhou has already seen this layer, and he will not delve into it, giving Jiahua County the main face, and it can also make the saint feel that he is doing things safely.

Cheng Jingzhou watched the cleared fields increase day by day, and he really admired his father-in-law in his heart.

If there is no mention from his father-in-law, he may be more serious, after all, he is also a hot-blooded man, and he can't see these deceitful people the most!

Now he understands that he must first keep this official position, and then he can do practical things for the people, display his talents, and become a good official who is loved by the people!

Therefore, this premise is that you have to be an official first, and then there will be a follow-up, otherwise, hehe, what's the matter with you? Stay and go!

Li An held a new booklet and an envelope in his hand, and his expression was excited: "My lord, take a look at our progress in the past few days." Not to mention, just what we found, there are nearly 10,000 acres of people who have signed a white deed! Look at these strips, they are all white deeds! ”
