Chapter 302 Changes in Cangyang County (continued)

Remember in a second【】

In addition to business taxes, Yang Yuan is still preparing for a major event.

Clear the land!

This is a big bomb, and it was intended to kill people in many countries and dynasties.

The issue of land annexation has never been resolved since the collapse of the well field system.

Otherwise, there would not be so many peasant uprisings.

Shunguo was also established from peasant uprisings one after another, and it understands the power of peasants better.

So Shun Taizu wanted to restore the public land system at the beginning, but there was too much resistance, not only the stubborn aristocratic family obstructed it, but also the cronies who followed him in the southern and northern wars were not positive about it.

Shunzu still hadn't completed this plan before his death, and after his death, even a little of the achievements he had made were overturned.

What ancestors became law is nothing more than a hammer and an axe.

After a hundred years of development, the land annexation of Shun Kingdom has basically not developed (compared to the other two big countries), and there are some small countries above Zhongzhou that are aristocratic. In these countries, all the land in the country belongs to nobles and Lord, only a few citizens have their own land.

About 40% of the land in Cangyang County is in the hands of aristocratic families, 20% is in the hands of the government, 20% is in the hands of landlords and powerful, and the last 20% is in the hands of self-cultivating farmers.

However, the number of peasants is thousands or tens of thousands of times that of aristocratic families, landlords, and tyrants. From this we can see how difficult the life of peasants is.

Of course, this is also related to the location of Cangyang County. The four northeastern counties are a little far away from the king's capital, and the imperial court feels a little out of reach here.

Around the royal capital, at least 50% of the land is in the hands of the imperial court (on paper), but it is not certain how much grain and wine can be harvested.

But even in this situation, Shun Country's official warehouse is more urgent and sufficient than the other two big countries. Otherwise, how can Shun Country withstand so many attacks from the two big countries.

After Liu Zhi and Yang Yuan took office, the thing to do is very simple, to restore the system of the Shunzu period.

According to the system in the Shunzu period, the land owned by aristocratic families, tyrants, and local landlords was not allowed to exceed 30% of the total number of acres in the land, and the remaining acres belonged to the government and self-cultivating farmers.

Of course, this system has already existed in name only, and even the vicinity of the capital can no longer stand this red line.

Not to mention other counties and border counties like Cangyang County.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the lord has not abolished this system, Yang Yuan can use the name of the ancestral system to check the land in Cangyang County.

This is more difficult than cleaning up gang forces, suppressing bandits, building water networks, and transportation networks. Not only are there many obstacles, but you must also be careful of those mermaids who are dead and broken, and their lives are in danger.

Don't forget that Shunzu passed away just as soon as he knew his destiny. You must know that Shunzu was a fierce man with terrible physical fitness. He was at least a second-rate master, maybe a first-rate master.

Such a master died when he was just fifty years old, and he bullied those who didn't know martial arts.

After the death of the Shun family, within three years, more than a dozen families were ransacked and exterminated by the second king of Shun, and several heroes who founded the country also ended up with one head. It was not just the king of Shun who wanted to kill the heroes.

When Yang Yuan wanted to check the land, Liu Zhi was the first to object.

Nonsense, it doesn't matter if you check the land, but why do you use the name of the Sheriff's Mansion? Do you think I've been the Sheriff for too long and want to send me down?

If you really want to do this, you will not only lose your official position, but also your life!

But under Yang Yuande's deterrence and Yinzi's offensive, Liu Zhi finally succumbed.

The Sheriff's Mansion became the leader in the land investigation. At the request of the Sheriff, the Lord Lieutenant set up a guard team to protect the officials in the land investigation. If anyone resists violently, they will all be taken down!

Some of the officials who went down to check the land came from the county guard's mansion, and more people came from the government affairs school in Qianlongzhai.

After a year and a half of training, some young students have reached the time of practice.

Under the escort formed by the militia, they went to various counties and checked them county by county.

At the same time, the road-building and river-digging troops from the County Captain's Mansion also entered the counties smoothly, and the cavalry battalion also began to march throughout the county while chasing down the bandits.

In such a situation, almost no one dared to resist. Once resisted, the family would be ransacked and exterminated, which was even more ruthless than Shunzu before.

Even so, there was little resistance, not no resistance at all.

People die for money, birds die for food, that's all.

When Yang Yuan inspected Cangyang County this time, more than half of the land inventory had been carried out, and only a few towns had not been completed.

This is also thanks to the students trained by the Qianlongzhai Academy. Without them, it would be possible to do this for a year with just those veterans.

Unlike now, most of the work can be completed in less than three months.

"These students are doing very well. From the expressions on the faces of these people, it can be seen that they have a good life this year!"

Yang Yuan was walking on the road in the field, with the divided fields on both sides, with lush crops growing on it, seeing these crops and the smiling old farmer beside him, Yang Yuan felt particularly comfortable.

The accompanying guard captain Yang Meng nodded in agreement, compared to before, the present Cangyang County is simply heaven.

"Well, there is indeed hope on the faces of those people."

Hope this thing is amazing, only people who have really despaired know how important it is!

Yang Yuan saw two old farmers resting in the shade of a tree, and walked up with a gentle smile on his face.

"Hi two old men, boy

^0^ Remember in a second【】

excuse me. "

The two old men raised their heads and looked at Yang Yuan. His clothes were not luxurious, but it was obvious at a glance that Yang Yuan was not an ordinary person, at least he was also the young master of a landlord's family.

"Don't dare, dare not, I don't know what's the matter with this young master?"

Yang Yuan and the two came straight to them, and the two old men looked at them suspiciously.

Thanks to the fact that most of the bandits and bandits had been wiped out by the Commander's Mansion, otherwise the two old men would have called for help.

In other places in Zhongzhou, don’t be too enthusiastic when you meet strangers, otherwise they will tell you what is sinister.

"Old man, you're welcome. I'm just bored at home. I came out to relax. I saw the two old men resting again. I just want to chat with them."

Yang Yuan sat in front of the two old people without any scruples, and didn't care whether his clothes would be soiled by the mud on the ground.

Seeing Yang Yuan's behavior, the two old farmers became less vigilant and were more willing to communicate with Yang Yuan.

Through the communication with the two elders, Yang Yuan has a deeper understanding of the grassroots of Cangyang County.

"Old man, I heard that Cangyang County was hit by war and drought last year, why doesn't it look like it's been hit by a disaster now?"

Yang Yuan inadvertently raised doubts.

The two old farmers actually laughed when they heard his question, "The military disaster is real, and the drought is also real. Even the old man's son died under the hooves of the barbarians. I am in the midst of fire and water, and after becoming a county lieutenant, I helped us put down the bandits and resume production. My family has divided up 30 acres of land this year, so we don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat even in times of disaster in the future!”

As he spoke, the old man actually shed tears.

How did such a day come so late!

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
