Chapter 28: It's not hard to say yes
All the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be oppressed as they were in history.
"Am I thinking too much? Forget it, give them some practical guidance! ”
"It seems that everyone has their own wishes! I want to marry a beautiful wife, right? ”
"Isn't this nonsense? That man doesn't want to marry a good-looking wife he likes! ”
"Isn't it!"
"Most of the arrangements arranged by the government are not good-looking! Each of us has to marry a daughter-in-law!
Sometimes we really don't want to! “
Chen Fan listened to everyone express the bitterness in his heart, and he understood very well.
Because the twisted melon is not sweet.
Even on Earth, where the civilized society is much more developed.
He lived in a country that was relatively feudal and poor in his parents' generation.
People feel that it is a shame that they can't get married when they are old, and that they can't marry a wife.
Their parents are rarely happy, often quarrel, and make do with each other all their lives.
It's really unhappy, you have to put up with each other, two people don't love each other, it's not right to say anything.
But after having children, family affection may arise, and they can finally fall in love with each other.
But after all, it's a minority! Looking at the whole country, there is really a common thing about unhappy marriages.
And the era in which Chen Fan is now living is a feudal era of a parallel world.
There are not as many wonderful cultural values as there were in that era of their world.
It is not possible to guide the people well.
Marriage is not just about thriving, it's about responsibility.
When you have a partner, you have to be loyal, be good to him, and go to see all the snow and moon flowers together.
"Then everyone wants to do this, but is there any way to do it?"
"What can I do! We don't have any property! There is no craft to make money. “
Chen Fan was very angry when he heard it, because he felt that this group of people was not motivated at all.
The prefectural order clearly issued an order for land reclamation, and as long as new wasteland is reclaimed, you can own a part of it.
As long as they work hard to cultivate, it is not impossible to be a small landlord for a few years!
And there is no craft, but isn't it possible to teach for free in the county school?
There are still some old craftsmen who have been invited by the prefectural order to teach their professions.
He really felt that the county order yamen was not messing around, but fishing, and still did a lot of things that benefited people's livelihood
He was about to open his mouth to scold this group of men for not working hard, not being motivated, and wishing to live a good life.
But he immediately remembered that he had been here for almost a day, and it was not convenient for his children to go to school.
I really don't blame them, some things are really powerless.
Chen Fan felt that he was testing whether they knew that the policy could help them overcome poverty.
"Did you know that if you reclaim new wasteland, you can own that land?"
"I don't know! Is this true! Is there really such a good thing? ”
"Didn't you go to the yamen and read the notice?
This year, less than a month after the county magistrate took office, the land reclamation order was issued, showing that the people can do this!
At the same time, this is also the meaning of the saint! “
"Ahh
Everyone exclaimed, and at the same time looked at each other, looking incredulous and unbelievable.
"But I remember hearing my father say it before
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.
Our land is holy, and it is He who has given us land to live on.
So we have to work hard to farm and pay taxes for the saints! “
Chen Fan felt that this question could not be answered randomly, otherwise he might be burned.
"Do you know why the Holy One wants to fight to the death against the barbarians with all his strength and not hand over an inch of land?
It wasn't his ambition, but that he wanted his people to have as much land to cultivate.
There are more mountain forests to hunt and more lakes to drink.
The Holy Lord has already issued an order to cultivate fields, you just don't know! “
Everyone lowered their heads, or looked at Chen Fan with disbelieving eyes.
"Your Majesty is not telling a lie, is it?"
"You can rest assured that it is absolutely true!"
After speaking, Chen Fan took out the envoy's order and showed it to them.
You may not have seen the envoy order.
But through the formal text pattern and blue color scheme on it, they also felt that this was a real official order.
"Everyone goes down to open up wasteland and reclaim land, and all the land they get can go to the yamen to register and receive it in their own name.
You don't have to keep the land left for you by your parents, the land is cultivated by yourself.
Don't be afraid, you can go to the yamen and come to me directly, and I will help you at any time. “
Everyone was skeptical, thinking that things were still a little too good.
If that were the case, they would have gotten up early and gone to farming every day.
Chen Fan took out the Great Zhou Law that he was carrying.
Turned to the reclamation chapter.
"Can any of you read better, and help you recite these laws to dispel your concerns?"
The clan elder stood up, walked in front of Chen Fan, took the law book, and approached the book to read it.
Then the above law was recited loudly;
Anyone who clears land for the state receives one-third of the land reclaimed.
The other three parties can also be cultivated, but half of the grain must be handed over.
In addition, the grain produced in the wasteland cultivated by the people. All of them can be owned by themselves.
Everyone roared in admiration.
All doubts just now vanished.
"Old man, please go back and sit, thank you for reading it out for me."
"Adults don't need to be polite, thank you for pointing out the way for this group of ignorant children in our village."
After speaking, with Chen Fan's support, he sat down where he was just now.
Everyone began to ask Chen Fan some specific things.
"Then my lord, how can we go to the yamen and let the yamen give us the land?"
"You just need to report to the yamen, find the village chief and other witnesses, and let the yamen verify it.
After verifying that the land is indeed cultivated by you, we can build it for you.
You'll have the land! “
"That's true! That's great! ”
After speaking, everyone hugged Chen Fan and asked about it.
In fact, there are only a few points to ask.
But Chen Fan didn't get tired of it, and patiently explained to them one by one.
Chen Fan can understand them, and he should think that this is good news for them, and he really needs to confirm it repeatedly.
They had been discussing it.
It was discussed until the beginning of the meal, and it was still discussed.
Although the meal was very tasty. But it was only a few words of praise for them.
The most discussed at the condolence dinner was the partnership to open up wasteland.
Chen Fan: After dinner, they stayed in Xiajia Village under the arrangement of the village chief.
Chen Fan, who had been tired all day at night, lay down on the bed heavily.
Today he did not read Qu Yuan's Torah book.
Rather, there was a bit of self-blame.
He regretted that he had only wanted them to complete the autumn harvest in the first place.
Their willingness to open up wasteland means that it is not difficult for them to agree to the autumn harvest.
I also had such a strong purpose to PUA them at the beginning.
It is not easy for farmers in every era, it is they who make food available to everyone in society.
"It seems that it is similar to the rural areas of our world, and they all have some of the same problems.
Transportation is inconvenient, information is blocked, and education is backward. It seems that we will have to find a way to change it in the future. “
