Chapter two hundred and seventy-two forced exchange of land
On the second day after the land was distributed, the fields became very lively. The whole family, young and old, went out to play. The children were playing on their own land, and the adults dug ditches and raked the fields together to plow the land before winter came. The victims
He burst out with endless strength, worked from morning to night, and showed up on his land full of energy the next day.
The impact of the farm division effect was extremely huge. Other victims rushed to the county and state offices and strongly demanded to sign the immigration contract. At this time, the worries about the Xue Yantuo people had long been forgotten, and the 150 acres of vast land would be
All the victims were so excited that they were jealous. Who wouldn’t want to own such a large piece of land and leave it to their children and grandchildren?
The Fengzhou government responded to public sentiment and began to sign immigration agreements with the victims. However, it was too late to allocate land. Measuring the land took time. Winter in Fengzhou was coming soon, so they could only wait until tomorrow before spring plowing for distribution.
Hejia is located in Xiabai Village, 20 miles northeast of the county seat. The entire village is from Hebin County. There are about fifty households and it is considered a medium-sized village.
There is a small river outside the village that leads directly to the main irrigation canal. For New Year's Eve, I wanted to build a boat so that I could reach their land by boat.
In the evening, the whole family came back from the fields and sat at a small table to eat. Although digging ditches was tiring, the whole family was very excited.
On New Year's Eve, he knocked on the bowl and said to everyone: "I have inquired. If our land is cultivated intensively, one acre can produce 350 kilograms of wheat. Our 150 acres, which works out to more than 400 kilograms a year, the government also
The purchase price is six hundred coins and one stone, which can be sold for two hundred and forty guans, which is equivalent to our monthly income of 20 guans, which is ten times what we made in Hebin County!"
The wife celebrating New Year's Eve also laughed and said: "In Hebin County, I have to do small jobs and can't rest in winter, so I can earn twice a month. Now I only need to farm and I can rest during the week."
He Xiaomen drank two glasses of wine, and he who was usually silent became excited. He rushed to say: "The most gratifying thing is that there are no droughts or floods here. Although there is a locust plague, the locust plague can be defeated."
Well, it can be said that the weather is good every year, and I don’t have to worry about God’s life at all. The more than two hundred dollars a year is a stable income.”
The family talked and laughed, and began to look forward to a better life in the future.
At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and seven or eight big men walked in, led by a middle-aged man in black.
"Is this He Xiaomen's home?" the middle-aged man in black asked.
The He family hurriedly walked out, and He Xiaoman said, "I am He Xiaoman."
"Yesterday, your family grabbed land No. 175 during the land grab!"
He New Year's Eve nodded, "It's our family's land."
The middle-aged man in black said: "That's right, that piece of land was originally my favorite. I can guarantee that I will win that piece of land. Unexpectedly, the government changed the lottery method and I missed it. I want you to take that piece of land."
Give it to me. My plot of land is close to the Qiufeng Bridge and is also an acre and a half of red pile land. Then I will give you one hundred coins per acre, giving you a total of fifteen coins. How about it? You made fifteen coins for nothing.
money."
"fart!"
He Xiaomen's face was so swollen that he turned red and shouted: "I won't change!"
He New Year's Eve quickly stopped his son. The other party brought seven or eight big men. They were not ordinary people, and they could guarantee that he would win the land lottery. Such people should not be offended.
He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Master, it's not that we don't want to change, it's that we have already registered it with the government, and the government has registered our plot of land. I'm afraid it's hard to change it again!"
The middle-aged man in black waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, we have our own solution. I just want to ask you if you agree?"
He Xiaomen glared at the other party and said, "What if you agree? What if you don't agree?"
"It's very simple. If you agree, we will write a land exchange contract now, and I will immediately give you fifteen coins. If you don't agree, hum! This is Fengzhou, not your Hebin County. How did you come here? I
Let me tell you how to go back!"
At this time, a large group of people poured in from outside, all from the same village. Xia Laohuai asked loudly: "Lao He, what happened?"
Seeing that there were many people on the other side, the middle-aged man in black said coldly: "I'll give you three days to think about it. If you don't agree, just wait and see!"
He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The middle-aged man in black and a group of big men pushed aside everyone and left quickly.
"Lao He, who are they?" everyone asked.
He New Year's Eve felt angry and scared at the same time. He squatted down with his head in his hands and sighed deeply.
He Xiaomen was not afraid. He told everyone what happened, and everyone was very angry. They all came up with ideas: "No matter who they are, go and complain to Guo Shijun. Guo Shijun will definitely make the decision for you!"
He Xiaomen's temper became fierce. He would never give up this land, even if he was beaten to death.
The next day, before daybreak, the He family father and son knelt in front of the governor's office and shouted, "We are looking for Ambassador Guo, but we have been wronged!"
Just at this time, Li Ji quickly walked out of the governor's office.
At noon, Guo Songzheng and Li Ji discussed what happened to the He family. The case was taken up by the jealous Li Ji. He sent soldiers to send the He family and his son back, while he found Guo Song.
"I went to check it out, and it's true. The He family grabbed a good piece of land, and someone was jealous. Now I'm trying to find out who dared to do such a thing?"
Guo Song took a sip of tea and said: "In my opinion, we can simply use the trick and let them sign the contract. I would like to see who wants to force them to change land."
Li Le said: "Actually, I found out that there is only a piece of red pile land north of Qiufeng Bridge. It should be this piece of land. It was snatched by a Shengzhou native named Luo Shuan'er. But the strange thing is that Luo Shuan'er was the one who first ascended the throne.
I couldn’t find his name in the book, but his name was written in the official enthronement book on the last line of Shengzhou Disaster Victims, but it was not written in the same handwriting as the person in front of him, as if someone had specially written it.”
Guo Song frowned and asked, "Where is this Luo Shuan'er placed?"
"Placed in Feng'an County."
Guo Song asked Li Ji to continue investigating, while he paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his hands. This matter became even more strange. His intuition told him that this was related to the repeated numbering incident that happened yesterday. Someone wanted to cheat, but he was
The change in the land allocation method was disruptive. The He family grabbed a good piece of land. Someone must have taken a fancy to this land in advance. They had rigged the lottery to ensure that they would win. This is consistent with what the middle-aged man in black said.
.
The middle-aged man in black is obviously a local snake in Fengzhou, but this Luo Shuaner is also a victim of the Shengzhou disaster. What is the relationship between them?
At this moment, the voice of County Magistrate Xie Changzhi came from outside, "Is Mr. Guo here? I have something important to report to you."
Guo Song suddenly remembered that he asked Xie Changzhi to investigate the number duplication incident, and there must be results.
"Please come in!"
Xie Changzhi hurriedly walked in. He was entrusted by Guo Song to investigate the incident of duplicate numbers in yesterday's lottery. Although the matter had passed, Guo Song could not rub the sand in his eyes. He did not need to pursue the responsibility, but he must
If you know the reason, you can't expose it in such a vague way.
In just one day, Xie Changzhi got the clues.
"This letter was thrown into my yard last night. I have seen the handwriting on this letter. I went to check it this morning."
Guo Song opened the letter and read it carefully, his face gradually became gloomy. The letter revealed that the county captain Zhang Wenlong used slaves in the mansion to pretend to be immigrants and extorted fifteen hectares of fertile land.
Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in Guo Song's heart. Could that Luo Shuan'er be a slave in Zhang Wenlong's mansion? He was pretending to be a victim of the Shengzhou disaster, so this name was not found in the original records.
The forced land purchase incident investigated by Li Ji gradually coincided with the clues provided by Xie Changzhi. The two incidents were actually the same thing.
"Have you found out who wrote this letter?"
"I found it, it's Zhang Xiang, Zhang Wenlong's nephew."
"Wait a minute!"
Guo Song quickly stopped Xie Changzhi, "Isn't Zhang Xiang the civil servant we recruited at the beginning of the year and the person in charge of joining the military camp? Is he him?"
Xie Changzhi nodded, "That's him. I specially found his documents to confirm that this letter was written by him."
Guo Song walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. Zhang Xiang was also one of the seven civil servants who wrote documents in the military camp. It is very likely that the repeated numbers were written by Zhang Xiang.
"Have you reviewed the extra number yesterday?"
"The review came out, and a total of 33 duplicate numbers were found. After removing the duplicate numbers, I found that there were actually ten pieces of land missing. These ten pieces of land were all close to the main canal, and they were the best ten pieces of land.
Apparently, someone had obtained the lottery for these ten plots of land in advance."
Guo Song nodded slowly and said: "Go and inform Zhang Xiang that I am going to inspect the wheat fields of Juntun. Please be prepared to accompany him on the inspection."
