Chapter 665
Mihara.

Qinghe Township, Xiaoli Village.

A work team rode donkeys and mules to this small village on the north bank of the Qinghe River. It is eight miles away from Longqiao. It is named because there are few people in the village and all the villagers are named Li. There are more than [-] households in the village, but the county's land registration only has [-]% of cultivated land. One hundred acres, four to five hundred acres of mulberry and jujube garden.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li."

Li Hongda, the county calligrapher, took everyone directly to visit the big family in Xiaoli Village.

Xiaoli Village is the same as the original Longqiao. The people live in caves along the river slope. Only the wife of Mr. Li dug a five-hole cave at the top and built a cave house covering an area of ​​more than three acres on the ground. Courtyard.

Li Yuanwai has a gray beard, white hair and a boyish face. He is very energetic. He was a bad commander in Chang'an during the previous dynasty. When the current dynasty was first established, he also served as a foreign official for two years.However, they were not Yuanwai Lang, but Yuanwai Wannian County Lieutenants who were temporarily established by the imperial court at the beginning of the dynasty.

"Li Dalang please come quickly,"

Mr. Li has returned to his hometown for more than ten years.

Originally, Chang'an and Wannian counties each had six county lieutenants. One of them was a full-time security officer, also known as the thief-catching lieutenant. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, Chang'an was still relatively chaotic, so the handsome old man with rich experience in catching thieves Li was promoted to Yuanwai County Lieutenant.

Although he was not a full-time county lieutenant, he passed the threshold of being a Taoist official and became a eighth-rank county lieutenant.After working for two years, I returned to Xiaoli Village in Miyuan, and I felt at ease to live my life in peace.

The land in this village actually belongs to all but Yuan Li. The other villagers are either tenants who farm their own land, or they are tenants of nearby landowners.

Li Hongda, the calligrapher, was actually a non-staff calligrapher in the county government, not to mention Zuo and Shi. He was also familiar with Xiaoli Village and had a good relationship with Yuan Li. In fact, the powerful local landlords were basically familiar with everyone in the county government.

Li Yuanwai invited a group of people to the courtyard. His family entered the courtyard three times. Although it was relatively simple to build with rammed loess, it was managed well.

In particular, there is a tall locust tree in the front yard, with a crown like a canopy, providing shade in summer.

"Have some tea."

There are many people working in Yuan Li's house, including young maids, young servants, and young servants. These are basically people from the households of the village's tenants.

The ancient locust tree is said to be hundreds of years old and is still lush and lush.

"Besides the senior members, the younger one is here today. He is here to check the facts on the orders of Mr. Wu and the county magistrate."

"Didn't you check the registration last time?"

Li Hongda said with a smile on his face, "Last time, I was in a hurry and the records were not clear enough. Moreover, after I moved to the county government, some records were lost, so I had to re-register and check.
Today we will come to the door in person, and as required, we will ask the old people to come from Chenjiakou, fields and houses, as well as slaves, livestock, etc.,"

Li Houwen, Li Zheng who came with him, was actually Li Yuanwai's nephew. It was Li Yuanwai who had arranged this place. Although Li Zheng was a sex worker, he was still a rural official and could be exempted from school service and could also get some benefits.

The old man glanced at his nephew Li Houwen, and then looked at the other people who came with him.

Li Hongda hurriedly said, "Let me introduce these people to the senior staff. This is Ling Shi Fanlang from the Chang'an Civil Affairs Department."

"Shi Fan Zhiheng has met Mr. Li."

"This is Li Sihao, a student from the county school, and a member of the Li family from East Fort Lee."

Li Houwen added next to it, "From the long house in East Li Fort,"

The eldest son of the East Li Fort, who was named Si, was obviously Li Jing's great-nephew, and was also a relative of Wu Huaiyu. He nodded and said hello very politely.

It turns out that Li Sixing, the leader of Dongli Fort, is Li Sihao's brother. Their grandfather Li Duan is Li Jing's eldest brother, and Wu Huai Yu's wife Li Qing, the head of Yongle County, is his cousin.

Li Sihao is a teenager who studies in the county school. This time, all the economics and medical students in the county school were assigned to help in various working groups. Li Sihao found it quite interesting.

This small working group is headed by Ling Shi Fan Zhiheng from Chang'an, Li Hongda, the scribe from Sanyuan County Government, is the deputy, Li Houwen, the Li Zheng, is the coordinator, and there is also Li Sihao, a student from the county, plus two villagers serving in the county. There are two middle-aged men and young men who are also serving in the government.

Four people plus four servants, a small working group of eight people.

The first stop is Xiaoli Village.

The last verification and registration in Xiaoli Village was done by Li Hongda, but he had also accepted a gift from Mr. Li before, so he followed the old rules and filled it out randomly.

Had to come again today.

Officer Li said he wanted to change clothes, Li Houwen stood up and helped each other, and the uncle and nephew came to the backyard.

"Uncle, Mr. Wu is serious this time. All the old officials from the county government have resigned and returned to Nanli Village."

Xiaoli Village is only eight miles away from Sanyuan Dragon Bridge. Last time he went to Wujiabao to celebrate the birthday of Wu Xianggong's mother. His nephew is Li Zheng. They also belong to Qinghe Township. His nephew also takes turns presiding over the township with the other five Li Zhengs. A person who works as a servant at the county government office.

Knows a lot of inside information.

But I was still a little surprised that this time it would be so big. "That old guy is quite cunning, but he ran away at this time." The old man was a bad handsome man in Chang'an in his early years, and he was not a simple person.
Compared with the old meritorious officials of Sanyuan County Yamen, it can even be said that they are a bit more powerful. After all, the people they deal with are all figures in the capital. They are all powerful and high-ranking officials. They don't have much ability and there are not even scum left.

"I just tested the tone of Li Hongda and that Fan Lingshi on the road. These two guys are not easy to deal with this time. That Li Hongda, our family used to feed him a lot, but now he is like a white-eyed wolf."

"He is a small foreign writer, not even a foreigner. He usually follows some bad rules and embezzles, but now that the prime minister is personally in charge, he dares to do anything random?"

"Let's not make things difficult for him."

After exchanging information, the uncle and nephew returned to the front hall.

At this time, Fan Lingshi had already taken out a pen and paper and was about to start registration.
"Please ask Mr. Li to report the land area in Dingkou. It must be accurate and there must be no fraud. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious if the higher-ups find out the truth."

Xiaoli Village, Xili, Qinghe Township, Sanyuan County, Yongzhou,
Head of household: Li Jing'an, male, 71 years old, an official, no household registration,
The Xiaoli Village House covers an area of ​​more than three acres, with five cave dwellings, 720 acres of fields, [-] acres of mulberry garden, and [-] acres of jujube garden...

Li Yuanwai held a tea cup and dictated, Fan Lingshi quickly took notes, and county student Li Sihao also took a copy.

This handbook records the household outside Yuan Li, the head of the household, and the number of good and bad people in the household, all indicating their gender, age, identity, etc., as well as the number of fields jointly granted during land equalization, the number of fields granted, the number of acres not yet granted, and the number of acres granted. The fields must also be registered in terms of acres, location, canal name, and the four directions of each field. They must also be distinguished as oral subdivision fields, Yongye fields, home gardens, etc. In addition, in addition to the land granted, the status of the purchased fields must also be written down, even in the field. Fields outside the county must also be declared.

Slaves and large livestock, residences and shops, etc. must all be reported and registered one by one.

After a long time, member Li finished reporting and recorded everything.

"Old officer, please check carefully to see if the record is consistent with what you said. If it is confirmed, you need to sign and stamp it,"

The hand information is the first-hand information of the household registration files, which is collected by Li Zheng. The villagers report it every year, basically in the first month. Population changes, such as deaths, new births, and marriages, must be corrected in time. In addition, land sales, housing sales, etc. Construction, etc. must also be registered, and even the sale of slaves and livestock must be registered.

Villagers are responsible for reporting every year, and Li Zheng and the village chief are responsible for verification. Villagers must sign a letter of integrity commitment after verifying the report to ensure authenticity. Otherwise, concealment, omission, and false reporting will be severely punished.

The township organizes the records into township accounts and then reports them to the county.

If the person makes a mistake, he will be punished if he makes a mistake. If he fails to notice the increase or decrease, he will be punished with forty floggings for one blow, one level for three times, one hundred canes for more than one hundred, and one level for ten times. The crime will be suspended for three years.For those who know, everyone has the same family law.

Work errors are punishable by up to three years in prison.If it was done knowingly and intentionally, the punishment would be more severe.

Those handled by state and county governments will be punished with lighter punishments.

In the past, Sanyuan County's actual rural accounts, including the county's household registration files, had many problems and were not accurate. They were all caused by deception, collusion between powerful subordinates, concealment of Dingkou, and concealment of fields.

This time Sanyuan County will tear everything down and start over again, and Wu Huaiyu is also very merciful. He will not pursue the past matters. Now the re-registration and fabrication must be accurate. Even if it is an unintentional mistake, it will be severely punished, let alone taking the initiative.

Li Yuanwai took the recorded handbook, read it several times himself, gave it to his nephew to read, and called some of his sons.

Finally, a few things were added or deleted.

"Please sign and stamp the letter on the back and sign the letter of integrity commitment."

Mr. Li hesitated for a moment and signed his name.

Fan Zhiheng held the signed certificate and turned to look at Li Houwen.

"Li Lizheng, according to Mr. Wu's arrangement, after the working group has registered the facts, as Li Lizheng, you still have the responsibility to review. You will have five days to review. If there are no errors, the list will be posted in the county, township, and village to accept the supervision of the people. If anyone If you think the situation is untrue, you can report it and you will be rewarded heavily.

If the person who is exposed is found to have omitted or concealed something, he will be severely fined. "

When Li Hongda heard this, he felt murderous and his throat was a little tight.

He is a small calligrapher, and he is quite impressive in the countryside, but in the final analysis he is just a temporary worker. Even a master like Lao Gongcao has no courage to confront Mr. Wu.

He could only look at Mr. Li and his son, "Old man, if there are any omissions or false alarms within five days, please report them in time. If someone finds out when the announcement is made, there will be [-] mouths. I can't even explain clearly.
Mr. Wu will not be lenient. "

Li Hongda usually didn't dare to offend Mr. Li, but now that he was in danger, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and give a warning.

Mr. Li narrowed his eyes and looked unhappy.

Fan Zhiheng stood up, "Since everything has been registered clearly, would you like Li Zheng to call the village chief again, and ask Mr. Li to arrange for his family to take us to check the fields, houses, livestock, slaves, etc. one by one?"

"Need to verify? Fan Lingshi's trustworthiness is nothing more than an old man's?"

"This is the process of doing things. Mr. Wu personally explained it. We are just following orders and we ask for your understanding."

Fan Zhiheng looked businesslike and did not give any appearance to the veteran.
