Chapter 143 You grandsons
"Sir, apart from the forty-seven members of the Han family, there are still 507 people in Hanjiazhuang. Among them, there are 152 adult men, who should be divided into 6,800 acres, and 133 adult women, who should be divided into 6,800 acres.
It is divided into 2,660 acres, totaling 8,740 acres, and there are 222 young children. Currently, 9,872 acres can be cultivated, and more than 2,000 acres of wasteland can be cultivated.
If the neighboring villages were equalized, there would be about five to six thousand acres." Yu Qing skillfully reported a set of data.
Wang Buxu frowned slightly, there were a lot of people in Hanjiazhuang.
When those two hundred young children reach adulthood, I am afraid that there will only be more than a thousand acres of official farmland left in the village, and it will become less and less in the future.
"Sir, the situation in Hanjiazhuang is a bit special. This is a village built around Han Ju's own cultivated land. Most of the villagers are landless people. The existing cultivated land was only opened in recent years. Because they have to cultivate the land for Han Ju, everyone
The pace of land reclamation has been very slow," Yu Qing explained.
It is not easy to reclaim a piece of wasteland, especially after entering the era of intensive farming.
Gone are the days of simply setting a piece on fire, then sowing seeds and watching the sky to eat.
Reclaiming a piece of land requires careful cultivation for several years to mature the new land before it can be cultivated normally.
Moreover, there are no chemical fertilizers or anything like that now, so the land cannot be cultivated all the time. In places where the environment is worse, we can farm for one year and rest for one year.
If the conditions are not good, naturally they can only farm for two years and take one year off, or even farm for three or four years and take one year off.
For example, in various parts of Daqin today, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a common phenomenon to take a two-year break from farming.
Because there was simply not enough labor force to produce, most of the prime people were forced to do heavy labor.
The cultivated land at home can only be cultivated by women, the elderly and children, but these people cannot keep up with the physical strength, so a large amount of cultivated land is abandoned. If it is left idle for a few years, this land will basically become waste land.
This is basically the situation across the country now. A large amount of cultivated land has become wasteland. There is no shortage of land for cultivation among the people, but there is a shortage of people to cultivate it.
Therefore, the public ownership of land proposed by Wang Buxu seems to be useless and misses the point.
But in fact it is an inevitable step in the future.
The land measurement in Hanjiazhuang went smoothly. If Han Ju fell, the people should naturally accept the new distribution plan.
Wang Buxian had already explained it very clearly, although he was still a little worried in his heart.
But it’s useless. Worry or not, you’ll have to live your life, and policies won’t change because of their worries.
Dozens of people spent a day measuring and allocating the entire Hanjiazhuang land.
Although it was hard, I didn’t think it was anything.
That night, Wang Buxu stayed one night at the head of Hanjiazhuang Village.
"Sir, there are 120 men and 133 women in Hanjiazhuang. The actual allocation is 7,460 acres, 2,412 acres of official farmland, and 2,000 acres of wasteland.
It has only been abandoned for a few years. If we tidy it up now, we should be able to continue farming next year. After these 4,412 acres of official land are stabilized, we can reclaim the surrounding wasteland as official land." Yu Qing said with some fear in his heart.
.
Wang Buxu handed over the reclamation plan to him, but he had never done this before, so he could only carefully think of a solution, and finally decided to seek stability first.
Hanjiazhuang did not lose many strong men, only thirty-two people. No one knows where these people have gone.
But according to the new rules, farmland will not be allocated to those who are not at home. When they come back, they will be redistributed.
What Wang Buxian meant was to use this opportunity to conduct a census and remove the water in the data.
"Well, you can take care of these things!" Wang Buxuan nodded, not intending to care so much.
Moreover, he himself does not have much experience in this area. Now Xingyang is just trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. The experience accumulated here will be extended to other counties.
The next morning, Wang Buxu returned directly to Xingyang. There was no need for him to go to one village after another.
…
As Wang Buxu went on a killing spree in Hanjiazhuang, several powerful landlords who came to support Han Ju that day were also uprooted.
After allocating the cultivated land in these villages, the work became obviously much easier when heading to other villages.
With the experience accumulated in several villages, Yu Qing gradually became more comfortable at work.
Directly divide the original measurement team into two, add some members, and divide the troops into two groups to start at the same time.
The entire Xingyang redistribution work must be completed as soon as possible so that experience can be summed up and promoted in other counties.
For Yu Qing, this is a challenge but also an opportunity.
Lijiazhuang!
A group of people were waiting anxiously.
Half a quarter of an hour later, an old man with gray hair and a cane, supported by two girls beside him, slowly walked out.
"Old Master, you can't go on like this!" Li Ju quickly stepped forward to help the old man and said anxiously.
The old man held a cane and struck Li Ju's butt hard several times with an expressionless face. Although he seemed to be struggling, he was old and couldn't use the strength at all.
Li Ju is also a talkative person in his village, and others look at his face every day.
But here today, even though Li Ju was beaten, he still kept a smile on his face.
"That reckless man Han Ju thought so too!" The old man seemed to be relieved, and then he said with hatred that iron cannot become steel.
"Then how can Han Ju be compared with our Li family?" Li Ju said aggrievedly.
"Then how can your Li family compare with Wang Buxing's blade?" the old man asked.
"Of course you can't..." Li Ju lowered his head. If he could make gestures with Wang Buxu twice, would he still need the dog here now?
That’s not right, it’s not that he wanted a dog, but that the old man asked him to be a dog.
Not only him, but the entire Li family is here to mess around. There is no other way, the old man has spoken personally, and no one dares not to listen to this.
"Why are you in a hurry when you know you can't do it? It's still too early to leave Chun. Let's all go back and wait!" The old man didn't seem to want to say too much and just started to chase people away.
"Old Master, we know you must have a solution, why don't you just tell us? Now I don't have any confidence in my heart, and I can't sleep well at night." Li Ju looked at the old man pitifully.
In addition to the old man's seniority, the entire Li family's development today is entirely due to the old man's wise leadership.
When Qin unified the six kingdoms, according to the migration standards set by Qin Shihuang, the Li family should actually be in the migration sequence.
But it was because of the old man's foresight and making relevant arrangements decades in advance that the Li family escaped disaster.
Looking at the lives of the big aristocrats in Xianyang, all of them looked depressed and frustrated. If the Li family, who was considered a minor aristocrat at best, went to the Li family, the whole family would probably die of depression.
The old man was a little speechless, but he also knew that he was getting older, but he was very worried that he had no successor.
