Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2601

The village is too big and organized to oppose the redemption of land. It can't achieve its goal by careful and considerate persuasion like the previous villages.

So they can only use other means.

Before dawn, they all woke up. Now it was the most relaxed time of the day. Bai Shan got up and avoided the people staring at them and left quietly.

When the two chiefs came here according to the appointment, there were only a few adults Tang left.

They were a little stunned and were about to ask. Tang he had got up and said, "let's go and hurry back. I haven't bathed in three or four days."

The two elders hesitated to keep up and went a long way to find the opportunity to speak, "Lord Tang, where are the other two adults and officials?"

Tang He waved carelessly and said, "they have gone to the next village."

He glanced at them and said with a sneer, "you have a lot of trouble in Qi state. These fields were originally owned by the imperial court. You bought them at a low price. Now your majesty bought them back at the original price. It has been cheap for you for so many years. What else is not satisfied?"

The chiefs' faces changed slightly. Before they could speak, Tang he threw his lips and said, "but if the senior official hadn't told me about this hard work, I wouldn't like to come and do thankless things. Now the court is worried that these tenants have become a mob, so as long as you can comfort the tenants and open up, It's not impossible to turn a blind eye. "

After flying for nine days, their hearts fell back. They almost couldn't bear it.

At this time, Bai Shan and his family had gone around to the end of the village and hid directly in the woods.

Ren Yushi stretched out his hand and pressed the big black mosquito on the back of his hand. His face was very black, "it was like a war."

Bai Shan said: "look at yesterday's posture and war. There are only 89 households in this whole village with their own land, and the most farmland is 12 mu, and the least is only two mu. The rest are basically tenants who rely on tenancy. This is also the case that led to yesterday's situation."

Ren Yushi thought for a while and then said, "when you enter the village, you have to persuade the villagers. Your words are more friendly."

Bai Shan nodded, but he didn't start immediately. Instead, he said, "last night, Lord Ren didn't say what to do with these tenants in the future."

Censor Ren glanced at him, "Lord Tang told you to act according to your own circumstances, and Lord Bai obeyed."

Bai Shan slightly picked his eyebrows and knew it in his heart.

Brother Tang told him to make up his mind, but isn't your imperial censor here?

Later, he made a promise to appease the people. If you don't fulfill it, it's not him who will be scolded?

What's the matter with impeaching him for not following the rules?

After receiving the promise of Ren Yushi, Bai Shan led the people out. He decided to follow his heart.

The officers and men went back and forth, and began to sweep from the end of the village where they didn't pay attention. They called people out door to door and led them to the center of the village.

They only gathered people from the end of the village. There were 80 or 90 households, so they stopped. The rest came when they heard the news.

When the more active people at the head of the village arrived with sticks and hoes, Bai Shan and Ren Yushi were standing on a platform temporarily set up by several tables.

He nodded to the forbidden army on one side. The forbidden army took out his knife, cleaved it on the wooden stake on the other side, and shouted, "adults have something to say, quiet --"

When the noisy voice calmed down, Bai Shan looked at them and said, "do you know that you can be defined as a mob, a rebel, and can be killed with no amnesty only by attacking the imperial court officials yesterday?"

The crowd became flustered, "but you can see that there are not as many people here today as yesterday. Do you know why?"

"Why, why?"

"Because your leader went to the city to plead guilty instead of you," Bai Shan opened his eyes and said falsely, "what happened yesterday was not your leader's intention. He also said that you were afraid of farming without land after the land was redeemed by the Yamen. Lord Tang sympathized with you and thought you were the first offender, so he decided to forgive you."

"But there are some words that I think I can't speak clearly with you." Bai Shan said, "do you know that all the fields in this area used to be official fields?"

Naturally, we all know this. We didn't know it before, and we all know it now. Recently, this matter has become so big that they say that the Yamen do things without morality and justice. They were short of money a few years ago, so they sold the land to their owner.

As a result, now that they are not short of money, they repent and want to buy the land back.

They have planted fields for so many years, and they have planted them this year. Now they want to take the fields back. The officials are going to kill them.

As long as I think of it, everyone's mood is stirred up again.

Bai Shan said loudly, "these official fields are sold at a low price by the former governor of Qizhou in collusion with local big families and aristocratic families. The field price is less than one-third of the market price!"

When everyone was quiet, Bai Shan continued, "these fields should have your share!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone couldn't help shouting.

Bai Shan raised his hand slightly and said, "according to the law of the great Jin Dynasty, every adult can get 20 mu of Yongye field. How many adult people in your village last year can get the field, and how many adult people the year before last can get the field?"

"These official fields are meant to be distributed to Cheng Ding's men, and because these official fields are sold, the registered official fields in your villages and towns are thin. When it's your turn to distribute the fields, you will find that there is no field to divide!"

They couldn't help whispering, "it seems that it's true. Cheng Ding, the three boys of the pillar family, didn't divide the field last year. They haven't divided it in recent years."

"What the official said is good. You take this field back. It's not sure whether you can divide it. Moreover, how many households can Chengding have in our village? What about the others? "

"Yes, we have no land to divide and plant. We starve to death in a year."

"Can so much land be divided?" Bai Shan said, "of course not. The rest of the land still needs to be cultivated, and you just changed from other people's tenant farmers to the tenant farmers of the imperial court, and I can decide. The tenant rent collected by the imperial court and you will never exceed 40%

Censor Ren turned to look at him and began to wink at him. Don't talk big. No more than 40%, that's 40% at most. The new governor of Qizhou knows that Bai Shan can't be torn?

Bai Shan continued: "the imperial court has already issued a decree, and the announcement is pasted on the wall. It has already made it clear that the harvest of the leased land this year still belongs to you. The imperial court redeemed this year and took over the land until the end of the autumn harvest. I don't know where you heard the rumor that it was a great crime to destroy the young crops. Do you know that destroying the young crops is also a great crime?"

Bai Shan said that and gave the censor Ren a wink. Then the censor Ren came forward and told them what the crime was to destroy the young crops and what the crime was to attack the officers. Then he pointed to several humanitarians who were still quietly encouraging people: "Lord Bai doesn't care about you, but you can't bully them casually and catch these leaders, I suspect they have something to do with the recent rumors! "
