Today we are going to a village called Hanjiazhuang, ten miles east of the city.

Although it is called Hanjiazhuang, there are not many people named Han in this village.

And this is basically a microcosm of this era.

The Han family developed step by step, and then began to buy farmland from the people through various means.

When an alliance is formed, everything becomes much more convenient.

In a small circle, everyone exchanges land with similar output for each other, so that the scattered land is connected into one piece, making it easier to manage.

Ten years ago, Han Ju finally completed his feat.

Since we can't establish a county or a township, let's establish a village.

There are more than 500 people in the village and nearly 10,000 acres of cultivated land, of which more than 6,000 acres belong to the Han family.

The Han family only has a population of forty-seven, and the rest are ordinary people who are forced to live under the roof of the Han family.

The Han family had previously supported Wang Buxu's career, but their strength was limited.

Every time, Wang Cheng said a minimum limit, and then the Han family followed the minimum limit, and other powerful landowners also followed the Han family's footsteps.

As a result, every alms donation failed to achieve the expected results, and although the Han family had fewer people, it had the most land.

Coupled with a series of measures, it can basically ensure that at least 4,000 acres of the more than 6,000 acres of land are intensively cultivated.

Intensive farming means high yields. The yield per mu is more than two stones and one jun, and the higher ones can even reach two stones and three jun. Plus other things, the Han family alone can put more than 10,000 shi of grain into the warehouse this year.

As for the Han family of more than 40 people, they would not be able to finish all the food even if they died.

So he began to gather some retainers in private. Although there were not many, there were still as many as two to three hundred people. Especially after the anti-Qin war broke out, Han Ju no longer concealed his power and directly pulled out these retainers.

One is to warn those thieves, and the other is to remind Wang Buqi. Even though I only have a few people, there are many powerful landlords. When we join forces, we have many people, and we also control the entire Xingyang.

We gave you the face you asked for, so you have to give us face, otherwise, haha...

Therefore, Hanjiazhuang is not easy to deal with.

But this kind of thing must start with the most difficult thing. Even if you get rid of the thorns, what kind of waves do you little sashimi want to make?

Wang Buxu mingled among the county team, walking at the back, like a new soy sauce emperor, inconspicuous.

Li Yi and others were following Yu Qing, giving them a different aura.

"I didn't expect that County Magistrate Yu came in person. It really made Hanjiazhuang shine!" Han Ju stood at the entrance of the village with his people. From a distance, he saw that the county government's team did not move forward, but continued to stand there.

Wait until the team comes to the front, then say hello with a smile.

"Master Han, where are the people?" Yu Qing said with a bad look on his face.

When he set his first target at Hanjiazhuang, he knew that this time it would not go well.

Besides, he had given notice five days in advance, but when he came today, Han Ju still showed up like this. How could he have a smile on his face?

"County Magistrate Yu, aren't these common people? Or is Magistrate Yu planning to only recognize men and not count these women and children as common people?" Han Ju pointed to a large group of people behind him with a smile.

"Master Han, are you going to fight against the government?" Yu Qing asked angrily.

"Hanjiazhuang is a small area with a population of more than 500, so how dare you confront the government? The autumn harvest is approaching, and the people can't just ignore the food in the fields, right? Every time this is delayed, the loss is really not small, and the government will not compensate the people.

These losses, besides, if one person from each household comes here, doesn’t it count as disobeying the government’s order?” Han Ju responded with still a smile on his face.

"Fart, the autumn harvest is approaching and it's a time of leisure, so how can we talk about losses?" Yu Qing wanted to say it nicely, but found that he really couldn't beat Han Ju in this regard.

But after all, I have farmed before, and I still know some basic common sense about farming.

In the first half of the autumn harvest, except for locust plagues and heavy rains, even if farmers do not go to the fields, there will be no impact on the yield.

The reason for waiting this half month is to allow the grain to become drier, making it easier to harvest and process it later.

Otherwise, the moisture will be too heavy when the grain is recovered, making it impossible to store it.

Even if you are busy, you are cleaning the barn and repairing farm tools. Why do you need to run to the fields every day?

"Magistrate Yu, you are a county magistrate after all, how can you be so indecent? I am also a doctor now, and I will be a supervisor in the future!" Han Ju continued to say with a smile.

Although it was a reminder, the words were full of threats.

He probably knew what an inspector was, and he probably wanted to remind Yu Qing that if he didn't want to have a hard time in the future, he shouldn't speak so harshly, as if I was afraid of you.

"Good! Since Master Han is about to serve as the supervisor, he is considered a member of the government. He should fully support the government's decision-making. Without further ado, let's get started!" Yu Qing was speechless, but

He was also helpless and could only continue to use the government to suppress him.

The most important thing is that the young master is here. He doesn't dare to act too weak, nor does he dare to act too tough.

Of course, another factor is that he has only become the county magistrate not long ago, and he has also jumped up the ranks, so he can't stop yelling...

Han Ju made a gesture of invitation, and the smile on his face did not weaken, as if he was very cooperative with me.

Wang Buxu, who had been observing in the team, also shook his head in his heart.

Don't be afraid of softness or hardness, but be afraid of people who seem to cooperate in everything, but resist everywhere.

He knew Han Ju. Wang Cheng had suffered many losses at the hands of this man before. He was a powerful leader in the entire Xingyang area.

If you can't handle him, the whole of Xingyang will be out of business. If you can't handle him, the whole of Xingyang won't be a problem.

Yu Qing was too lazy to pay attention to Han Ju and placed his hope on the people. As long as the people recognized him, there would be many ways to deal with Han Ju later.

"Young Master has an order. From now on, all cultivated land under the rule will be owned by the government. No one can buy or sell it privately. The government will transfer the land cultivation rights to individuals for free."

"Adult men each have forty acres, and adult women each have twenty acres. In the future, the tax will be one stone for every five acres. The excess cultivated land will be official land. The government will provide grain, seeds and farm tools, and those who voluntarily contribute to cultivate official land will

In a year without natural disasters, if the yield per mu reaches one and a half dan, one dan will be exempted from the tax payable for every three acres cultivated."

"That is to say, if household A has three people, two older and one younger, it should be granted sixty acres of land and pay twelve dan in taxes. If A cultivates 30 acres of official land, and the average yield per mu reaches one and a half dan, then ten dan of tax will be offset.

Shi, you need to pay a tax of two Shi this year!"

"If A cultivates 40 acres of official land, and the average yield per mu reaches one and a half dan, then the tax payable will be offset by 12 dan, and the government shall pay remuneration at the rate of one stone for three acres. Then household A does not need to pay taxes this year, and will receive additional

One stone, one jun, and ten catties..."

Yu Qing's words made many people present secretly swallow their saliva.

It is not easy to guarantee a yield of two dan per mu, but to ensure a yield of one and a half dan per mu, if there are no problems with the fields, then it will not be a big problem.

Moreover, the government provides grain seeds and farm tools, which means that men in the family can cultivate their own land, and women can take their children to cultivate government land. It does not need to be more, just the amount of land that is enough to offset their own taxes.

The taxes saved this year can allow them to create another family. How can they not be tempted by this?
