"No."
Zhang Li shook his head and looked at Liu Taozi seriously, "Mr. Liu, this is a useless move!"
"Not to mention how difficult it is to kill them, even if you can really kill them, what's the use?"
"Murong Zeng is just their slave in his hometown, and Murong Guang is not an important person."
"If they die, the situation will not change in any way."
"Such an enemy cannot be solved by killing. If we want to solve it by killing, we have to kill the entire Murong family without leaving any one behind. Only then can we solve it."
Yao Xiong's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "I usually see Mr. Zhang being quite kind, but I never thought that he would actually want to kill people all over the house. Counting the servants and guests of the Murong family, they have to have one."
Three thousand people, right? How can we kill them all?"
"more than."
"Then how can we kill him cleanly?"
"One crime of genocide can be solved."
"A large clan of this size will certainly have many friends, but it will definitely not have few enemies."
Liu Taozi sat in the upper position, listening to the discussions of his minions, frowning. This was the first time he encountered an enemy that was difficult to kill.
But when Li Zhang said this, he seemed to have an idea again.
"Okay, Xiong, you can send Mr. Zhang back to rest."
"Zili, you continue to be in charge of Youyou Mansion. No matter how big or small you are, don't delay Youyou's errands."
"Kou, please stop staring at their house and accompany me on an inspection tour tomorrow."
"only!!"
Everyone saluted and said yes.
The night is already very dark.
But the county magistrate's house was brightly lit, and in the middle of the night, the light was a bit dazzling.
Lu Qubing sat solemnly in front of the case, immersed in writing.
When Gao Changgong first arrived, he ordered to verify the household registrations inside and outside the city. Lu Qubing was comparing the results carefully. The large number of vacancies was shocking. In just four years, the number of household registrations in Cheng'an showed a huge
An incredible sharp decline.
At present, Daqi implements the land equalization system.
This was set by Emperor Wei Xiaowen during the reform of the previous dynasty. The main content is one word, "Give Tian".
When the common people reach the age of fifteen, the temple will grant them forty acres of open field, and women will be granted twenty acres. This cultivated land is not allowed to be bought or sold. It cannot be increased or decreased. When they are old and can no longer cultivate, or they die, they must be returned to the temple.
.
The cultivated land inherited from the family, called mulberry industry, can be left to your son when you die, but the maximum limit is twenty acres. The temples that have more land will take it from you, and the temples that have less land will make up for it.
Daqi inherited this system from the previous dynasty, so the amount of cultivated land and household registration in Daqi are very clear, and the two are linked to a certain extent.
However, in these years, the destruction of this system has become more and more obvious. A large amount of state-owned farmland fell into the hands of the common people, and finally returned to the hands of the landlords. They used various methods to turn the self-cultivated farmers into tenants, and gave the self-cultivated farmers their land.
Confer farmland into your own farmland
Lu Qubing only made a slight comparison and discovered the disparity in the books. In these years, the population of Cheng'an has been declining sharply, but the public land in the hands of the temple, that is, the cultivated land given to the people, has not increased. On the contrary,
It also decreased accordingly.
This public land is not in the hands of the people, nor is it in the hands of the government, so whose hands is it?
Lu Qubing was so busy until dawn. Just after dawn, he sent someone to summon all the officials to help him conduct a thorough investigation.
We must first find out the missing population, then find out the location of the farmland originally granted to them, then take back the unowned farmland, then pardon the deceased, and let the county government come forward to re-grant the farmland.
Lu Qubing already had a clear process in his mind.
He will never bow to any evil person.
His blood boiled.
Law room.
"Goodbye everyone!"
The students saluted each other and said goodbye with a smile.
Although they were happy studying in the law school, they also missed their families.
The law school room is clean and tidy, with many cases placed, and some couches where you can sit and debate. Some trees were planted next to the courtyard wall, but they are all very small. I don't know if they will grow up.
Zhang Erlang picked up the package, saluted everyone, turned around and left.
The roads in the county school were smooth and neat. There were no such roads in his hometown. Occasionally, when he encountered some ostentatious economics students, Zhang Erlang hurriedly avoided them.
Although these classical students did not dare to bully them openly, when they encountered them, they would inevitably end up with a few taunts and arguments.
It's better to avoid it.
Walking all the way to the door, the old official guarding the door opened the door and arrived in the city.
From time to time in the city, you can see people walking with their heads down. Some restaurants have opened their doors, and there are waiters standing at the door, looking around for outsiders. Locals will not go to restaurants to eat.
Someone was holding the cow, but the cow didn't move. The man was so angry that he jumped on his feet.
There were a few people dressed as porters, pulling the cart, shouting in a low voice along the road, "Collect the excrement~~"
"Collecting excrement~~"
There seemed to be more people on the road, but this had nothing to do with Zhang Erlang. He came all the way to the gate of the city and showed his place of residence. The clerk checked again and again and finally nodded to let him go.
Zhang Erlang walked quickly outside the city, being extremely cautious. Traveling alone is always dangerous.
It wasn't until he came to the familiar path leading to the village that he breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking a few steps, he saw an old man from the same village carrying a hoe. When he saw Zhang Erlang, the man was stunned and hurriedly greeted him warmly.
"Erlang, have you just come back from the city? Where is Brother Tao?"
"He should still be busy."
"Okay, okay, have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Come to my house later. My aunt's third brother has made some meat and we can eat it together!"
Zhang Erlang quickly thanked him, "Okay, I'll go home first and then go there later."
"Then don't forget it!"
The old man slowly disappeared into the distance, and Zhang Erlang laughed. Although it was dilapidated, it was still his hometown.
After taking a few steps, Zhang Erlang realized what he was doing. He trembled and looked behind him in shock, but the old man had already left.
No, didn’t the third child of my aunt’s family die in the corvee?
When did he beat the meat??
Zhang Erlang shook his head, the little old man was somewhat unconscious.
He just walked to the door of his home, a small house by Zhangshui River.
His home was far away from the village, and he usually made a living by fishing. When he came here, Zhang Erlang felt a sense of loss in his heart. The house was still there, but his family was gone.
"Squeak~~"
Suddenly someone opened the door.
An old man came out, poured the water in the basin outside the door, raised his head, and was a little surprised to see Erlang.
Zhang Erlang frowned, "Who are you?!"
"My eyes are wide open."
"Fart. Fuck you"
Before Zhang Erlang finished speaking, he saw another half-grown man coming out from behind him and looking at him timidly.
"I am Zhang Dalang."
Zhang Erlang's eyes widened. The big eyes were his father's name, and Zhang Dalang was his eldest brother.
But he didn't know these two people at all.
He cautiously took a few steps back and was about to rush towards the village, but he stumbled and screamed in fright when he bumped into something.
He quickly turned around and saw Liu Taozi standing in front of him.
He trembled and hurriedly hid beside Liu Taozi, pointing at the two people in front of him and said: "Brother Taozi, these two people are pretending to be my grandpa and my brother! They are here to scare me!"
Liu Taozi said nothing, motioned for him to follow her, and left.
Zhang Erlang followed him, and the two of them walked towards Taolin.
"They are all refugees outside the city. I asked them to borrow their identities from the village."
"Why?"
"The village needs people, they need identity."
Liu Taozi glanced at him again, "If you don't want to, I can let them change their identities."
Zhang Erlang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Forget it, just use it for what it is, you won't be able to come back anyway."
He followed Liu Taozi all the way to Taolin.
"Brother Taozi, here we are."
Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw two people walking out of the peach forest.
One of them is old man Zhang from the north of the village, and the other is a barbarian with a strange beard. He looks familiar.
Taozi looked at the old man, "Please continue to watch around here and don't let outsiders get close."
"good!"
Taozi led the other two people into the peach forest.
"What are you going to do, Brother Taozi?"
The foreigner picked up a shovel and handed it to Zhang Erlang.
"You don't have to do anything, just dig. I've already dug here. Let's start over there."
Zhang Erlang was holding the spade with a confused look on his face.
"What to dig for?"
"Digging for armor, weapons, and war horses."
"ah???"
