Without the leader, the remaining people are those who are caring and courageous enough. Ren Yushi stepped forward, with a normal face, and when the guards of the forbidden army next to him drew out their long swords, most of the villagers in front of them were helpless and were organized. I didn't even take a stick at the time.
Therefore, when those people were suppressed, the person carrying the hoe behind hesitated and did not dare to make a move.
Their aura was suppressed, and the courage they had been clamored for yesterday was gone.
After arresting seven people and being gagged and thrown aside, Bai Shan continued to preach with everyone with a calm expression.
This village is not a natural village, but was relocated later by an organization. Most of them are refugees and poor people after losing their land. Therefore, the family is not big, and without the head of the village, it is more convenient for them to persuade them.
After Bai Shan dryly explained the imperial court's policies to them, he asked people to call the heads of each household to him. There were more than a hundred people, including more than 20 old people.
Bai Shan glanced over them, and saw that many people's clothes were patched and tired, only three people were wearing fine cotton cloth, and there were not many people wearing fine linen cloth.
So he nodded slightly to Yushi Ren, stepped forward and said: "I think you are not young, you should have some knowledge, not to mention there are more than twenty old men."
He said: "The policy of the imperial court is mainly based on official documents. Although it is far away from Qizhou City, if you wait carefully, you will know what the imperial court means. I think you all know what kind of person a saint is." , since he has made a promise, he will definitely keep it, not to mention that there is Lord Wei in the court."
Hearing that Wei Zhi was there, the more than one hundred people standing below felt relieved.
Bai Shan gave them time to digest his words, and he paused for a long time before continuing: "These fields belong to the imperial court, and belong to you. Now you don't have an adult, and there will be some in the future. Who doesn't have a child now?"
Bai Shandao: "If you are born this year, you can wait up to sixteen years before you can divide the land, but these fields have always been in the hands of those people, and you will never have the opportunity to divide the land."
The household registration system of the Jin Dynasty is very strict. Except for the large-scale distribution of land in the first few years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the land in the future is only distributed to Cheng Ding. Yi Ding only has one chance to get the land in his life. There is no longer any chance of redistribution of the field.
Among them, the koufen land cannot be bought or sold, and still belongs to the imperial court. After a person dies, or when he leaves his hometown and cannot cultivate the land, the yamen will take it back. Only Yongye land can be inherited and cannot be traded.
But it's not really that you can't buy or sell, there are special circumstances or you can sell it.
In the beginning, the yamen would review special cases, but later, as more and more people sold land, more officers and paper and ink would be consumed, so the yamen didn't care much about it.
As long as you sell it and someone buys it, the yamen will transfer the ownership.
Bai Shandao: "Everyone, the two village chiefs have a batch of fields in their hands, they are equivalent to the head of the farm that your boss put here, so they naturally don't want the court to buy the land, but your boss is really better than a saint. Is it okay with you guys?"
The heads of households couldn't help but look at each other, an old man helped a young man beside him, his clothes were all patched, and his face was sad, he asked: "My lord, the imperial court bought the land back, can we really go back?" Do you rent these lands?"
Bai Shan nodded firmly and said, "Yes!"
He paused and said: "When the new governor arrives, I would like to intercede for you as a middleman, and how about renting the land for you for the coming year?"
Bai Shan had said so many things before, but none of these words moved people. As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. The old man even stared at Bai Shan and asked: "What is the name of this lord?"
Bai Shan cupped his hands and said, "I'm Bai Shan."
He thought for a while, then turned around to invite Daji, "Is there a famous post in the package?"
Daji was taken aback, and immediately pulled out a name card.
Bai Shan handed the name card to the old man in public, "If all the dust settles and you fail to get what I promised, you can take this name card to me."
The old man clenched the name card in his hand, supported the young man's hand and knelt on the ground, and the others also knelt down.
Bai Shan quickly helped him up.
Ren Yushi behind him looked at and shook his head slightly, but he didn't object.
Bai Shan said: "From now on, you can take care of the crops in the field with peace of mind. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the wheat will be harvested soon. Don't delay the farming time again."
The tenant farmers responded repeatedly and promised Bai Shan that they would never make trouble again.
After the matter was settled, Bai Shan and Ren Yushi returned to Qizhou City smelling of sweat.
The two of them hadn't washed during this period of time, they had stepped on muddy water, sweated a lot, and had an unpleasant smell on their bodies. As soon as they returned to Qizhou, Tang He smiled when he saw them: "Go take a bath, I will Let someone prepare hot water for you."
Ren Yushi didn't move, but looked around and asked, "Where is Liang Yushi?"
Tang He said: "He went to pick up the new governor, he said he would arrive today."
Ren Yushi nodded, "Where are the two chiefs?"
"It's in the prison," Tang He said with a smile: "You stopped people in the village, and I arrested the two of them. There were not many people who came to make trouble. I caught all I could, and we will meet again later. Let's try."
Ren Yushi nodded, turned and left.
Bai Shan also turned around to take a bath, and Tang He sauntered behind.
When Bai Shan was taking a bath, he sat cross-legged outside the screen, poured himself a cup of tea, saw those clothes, fanned the wind with disgust on his face, and called Daji, "Take all these clothes off, it's too disturbing." I'm in the mood."
When Daji went down with his clothes in his arms, Tang He asked, "How are you doing?"
Bai Shan explained in detail, and after getting dressed, he came out and said, "I promised them to rent the land for next year."
Tang He took a sip of tea and stared at him, "What are you thinking, how can you make such a promise?"
Bai Shandao: "There are too many of them, if we don't make this promise, I'm afraid they will follow us into the city and continue to make trouble."
"And," he said after a pause, "I think they're just looking for a place to stand. Why should we make them panic? Just give them a promise that will make them feel at ease."
Master Tang just nodded at him for a long while speechless, "Even if there is a promise to be made, it is the promise made by the new governor to them. He will be in charge of this place in the future, so he can show kindness. He has given kindness. It’s easy to manage the talented person, you passed him to make a promise, and you also gave the name post, will they still listen to the governor of Qizhou in the future?”
Bai Shandao: "So what I'm talking about is interceding for them and being a middleman, guaranteeing that they will rent the land for next year, but if the new governor rents them for three or five years at one go, who do you think they are grateful for? "
That is of course the new governor.
But…
Master Tang glanced at him, "How do you know that the new governor is willing?"
Bai Shan courteously poured him a cup of tea and said, "That's why Brother Lao Xue is here to help."
Tang He regretted following him a bit. Why are his eyes so sharp? How could he see Ren Yushi's treacherous and cunning micro-expression that seemed to have inside information to trick them
