The woman looked weird and sneered, "You are strange, you have to ask again and again for this clear matter."

"If the government hadn't colluded with the chief lord, we would have no male members in every household?"

"Judge?"

"What is that judge?"

"Every time the government recruits, there is a basis for the matter. Which one dares to disobey? Those who disobey will have been sentenced to prisoners long ago. How can there be any land for you to cultivate?"

Qin Luoheng was silent.

He had actually guessed it a long time ago, but he just didn't dare to confirm it.

But this is actually very normal. It is precisely because of the collusion between the government and local tyrants that they can exploit local Guizhou leaders so recklessly, forcing them to go desperately, and eventually they can only sell land and land, becoming a tyrant, thus ensuring their livelihood.

What's even worse.

Some families also sell their children.

Gu kept listening to the side. After hearing the woman's words, he finally couldn't stand and stepped forward and said, "Why is the scarcity of local males so rare?"

"The Qin Dynasty has always attached great importance to ensuring the farming season. Even those who live in debt will take special care of them during the farming season, allowing them to return home for twenty days to complete the sowing and care for the seedlings of farming. The "Shu Law" also has the provision of "living together without going in parallel."

"Another."

“The law clearly stipulates.”

"Even if counties and counties want to recruit personnel for urgent matters, they should give priority to the conquering of criminals. Only when the emergency tasks cannot be delayed can ordinary Guizhou heads be recruited. Moreover, it is clearly stipulated that "there is a slaughter, and it is not a slaughter to promote Guizhou heads." Why did the government dare to recruit people in large quantities?"

"As far as I know, there are three types of corvee labor in the court."

"The highest is the 'Yizhong Expedition', which was the corvee service assigned by Xianyang, but the imperial court did not issue a large-scale conscript on Zhao at this time."

"Secondly, various civil engineering and transmission-related persons that require labor are recruited by each county, that is, "constant things". This type is basically repairing walls and fences for pastures, repairing city walls for each county, guarding against them, and also building palaces."

"This type is basically not collected during the farming period."

"The last category is the projects that local county governments need to build. This category is called 'yan' (yan), but this category must be approved by the superior government before it can be established. Theoretically, the court does not advocate casual levy of corvee. "The Way to Be an Official" bluntly stated that "there is no time to develop things, and the order should be urgently imposed"!"

“In any way, this should not happen.”

The woman looked at Gu with a mocking look and said, "The people in the government are so smart. How could they not find an excuse? This year, the roads were blocked with heavy snow, and many roads in many places were destroyed. The government summoned all the men from each of our families in the name of building roads."

"As for what kind of debt you are talking about, how much can a pavilion be? With the increase in market rents over the years, most of the merchants have been cleaned up, and the only ones left are basically related to the government."

Speaking of this.

The woman also looked gloomy.

Sighing:

"We're having a hard time."

"Our Yuanting is also a big pavilion. Normally, no one will draw male students in every household. But in recent years, more and more people need to serve in our Yuanting, and the government has been stuck with our "sentences" and making men's service not count."

"I can see that the government just wants us to have no men, and then let us women, the weak, sick and disabled, go to cultivate the land, and buy our fields for various reasons. Alas, we are becoming increasingly unable to live this life."

Qin Luoheng said: "Then don't they need to perform corvee service when you mentioned the 'money people' and 'masters' you have mentioned before?"

The woman said:

"They also have to do corvee service."

"But it's different from our men's submissions. They basically repaired the city walls in this county, and it ended in ten days. Moreover, they had something to do with the government, so they didn't have to submit to themselves. Just tell the government and let their servants farm and serve on their behalf."

"They are calculating."

"Those families who sold their land were better. After serving themselves, they helped the 'money people' and 'masters' to serve as the corvee service together, and then they basically got stuck in the fields. Those who did not sell their land would be miserable. All kinds of labor service that were so painful that they were exhausted were basically ours. The men of our family could not return home for most of the month."

"There is no man at home, so many things cannot be done."

As he talked.

The woman also looked miserable.

Obviously, he talked about his sadness.

Qin Luoheng sighed in his heart. He raised his head and looked around. Looking around, he could not see a few males, all of whom were white-haired elderly people and children with horns. The most common ones were women. Farming was already hard work, and without males, there would undoubtedly be great discounts in all aspects.

He understood everything at this time.

The local government has long been in harmony with the powerful. You have me and I have you. It has become a trend to shelter each other. Local officials are acting according to the law on the surface, but in fact they are taking advantage of loopholes and exploiting Guizhou in various ways, forcing Guizhou to survive. In the end, they can only be forced to sell the fields that their ancestors have cultivated for generations, or even selling their children.

After listening.

Gu said angrily:

"It's really outrageous."

"How can the Qin Dynasty establish a country with law? How can such rats be allowed to disrupt the law? Qin's law is dazzling, and I must bring all these people who are chaotic to justice."

The others were also full of anger.

They were also shocked by the incident of Yuanting.

In the past, they were in Xianyang, but they never thought that the place would be so dark. Now that they had just arrived at the place, they heard such darkness. How dare they stay indifferent? How can they not feel angry? How dare they ignore it? Stand by and watch?

but.

Qin Luoheng said nothing.

He didn't feel that he could expose this dark side.

Local officials are different from Guizhou. These people understand the law. From the women's mouths, they did not hear that officials had direct violations of the law. At most, they would be "not straightforward", "losing punishment" and "breaking orders". Although they would indeed be punished by the court, they would not be severely punished, nor would they be directly sentenced to prison.

They would not stay in the realm for too long. Unless they could directly uproot the local officials, they would treat the symptoms but not the root cause. And once they left, these officials might become more and more harmful to the head of Guizhou.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Qin Luoheng could not do it even if he heard such a dark story.

He stood for a long time, thinking about ways to break the deadlock.

Hearing Gu's words, the woman finally realized something, quickly got up, took a few steps back in panic, stared at Qin Luoheng and others with a vigilant look, and asked, "Who are you?"

Reincarnated:

"We are all officials of the Qin Dynasty."

"The Shangshu Ling, who is the court in front of you, is of the same level as the county magistrate. I am a 'supervisor' in the Censor's Office, and this is a slander..."

Just as Gu Yibing introduced himself seriously, Qin Luoheng interrupted: "We are from Xianyang."

"Qin people?" The woman looked alert.

She obviously had a bad impression of the Qin people.

This is actually the most straightforward expression of the people in Zhao towards the Qin people. It is far from mentioning the Battle of Changping, which made every family in Zhao people mourn. After destroying Zhao, the First Emperor personally rushed to Handan and destroyed all the nobles who bullied him back then. It also increased the taxes of the people in Zhao people. Various reasons made the people in Zhao people malicious towards the Qin people.

Qin Luoheng bowed:

"Sister, don't be nervous and worried."

"We are indeed all Qin people. Today we are unified and the world is unified. In fact, there is no distinction between Zhao people and old Qin people. I am an official of the Qin people. You are now a citizen of the Qin people. The Qin people established the country with law. You have encountered all kinds of injustice, so you should make a statement."

"But I am humble and may not change too much, but I also hope that the man who should have farmed in the fields will return, so that the oxen that should have been assigned to you can be provided to you again, so that your farming can be easier."

"Really? Can you really let my father come back?" Before the woman could speak, the boy next to her shifted his gaze from the water bag, looking at Qin Luoheng with a burning look, with anticipation in his eyes.

Qin Luoheng said: "It's not a false statement."

The woman pulled the boy behind her, stared at Qin Luoheng and others with suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Can you really let the government put my man back?"

Qin Luoheng said in his forehead: "I dare not say it is too absolute, but it is indeed possible. As long as the government recruits it, I can get the males in your pavilion back, and I will also punish the 'money people' and 'shoulder' who are forced to buy and sell in the local area."

"but......"

"I need to ask one thing now."

"There is really a land sale in your county? Do you have relevant and accurate evidence and land deeds that can be directly convicted?"

Zhang Xu and others also looked at the woman.

The woman nodded vigorously and said, "I haven't sold the fields at home, so I can't get the land deeds. However, our pavilion does have the matter of buying and selling land, and basically everyone nearby knows this. You can ask someone for a little bit of it."

"I know the people in our pavilion sold the fields, so I can tell you, but you can't tell others that I said."

Qin Luoheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter and will not tell you rashly."

Hearing words.

The woman nodded this time.

She bent down and told Qin Luoheng who sold the fields in the pavilion to Qin Luoheng, and quietly pointed out the direction with her hands. After saying that, she seemed to be afraid of implicating her, so she directly took the iron plow and led the boy, and hurriedly left the fields.

Stand where you are.

Qin Luoheng's expression was a little solemn.

Zhang Xi stepped forward and said, "The court has never allowed land transactions. The officials in Jiexiu even regarded the law as an indifferent ears. When I was in Xianyang, I was a little surprised, how could Shandong have so-called land annexation? It turns out that this is how it all came about."

"These officials are so bold!"

Hua Yao said: "Don't be angry with everyone. Although we know that Yuanting has land annexation, it is not easy to hold officials accountable. Now the most urgent task is to get the land deeds that the woman said. As long as we get the land deeds in the land deeds, we go to the government office, and the officials in the world can only be irrefutable."

The others nodded repeatedly.
