Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 6 Dividing Fields and Trials

In this era, corruption is rampant in the imperial court, and everyone follows the example. Ordinary people want to sue the officials, but they don't have a few taels of silver, just want to see the face of the magistrate?
If you want to see me, who do you think you are?

Even if you beat the drum of grievance desperately, you have to hit [-] big boards first. If you don't die, you will be lucky enough to see the county magistrate.

It's obviously unrealistic for the county magistrate to catch the thorns for you, a commoner. It's not bad to just fight with sticks. If you are caught in prison for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, you can basically wait to die.

So, when the land evil gentry have no land, no money, and the relationship in the past is indifferent, how different are they from ordinary people?
In addition, Su Che shared the money and bribes, so it is even more impossible to touch the Peaceful Way.

Zhang Bao feels that he has done something illegal, and subconsciously feels that he cannot see the light of day. This is really an honest and good person's idea.

In fact, the Taiping Dao can not only be aboveboard, even if the behavior is more arrogant, it doesn't matter. Many officials will take the initiative to cover up and cover up, for fear that this thunder will blow up during their tenure.

As long as their term of office is up, the Taiping Dao has nothing to do with them, and they don't need to take responsibility anymore.

Zhang Baosi thought about it, and felt more and more reasonable, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the eldest brother is really far-sighted!
He asked again: "How should we deal with those servants and apprentices?"

Su Che said without hesitation: "They are all poor people who were oppressed by landlords and tyrants. There is no need to hurt each other between poor and poor people. Let them complain about their grievances if they are wronged, and win over others if they are suffering." Divide, dismantle and integrate into our congregation, and instill in them the dogma of our way of peace every day, that's all."

"I understand." Zhang Bao nodded.

At this moment, Zhang Liang rushed over excitedly, holding a ledger in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother! I have roughly checked out the assets of the Sun Family Village. This is their ledger for this year."

"How's the harvest?" Su Che asked.

"A total of 860 mu of land, including [-] mu of high-quality good farmland, [-] mu of middle-class field, and [-] mu of low-grade farmland." Zhang Liang said quickly: "There is also [-] seven shi of surplus grain. , piled up like a mountain, everyone was stunned, and almost couldn't control it, it was also the first time I saw so much grain..."

"In the year of the catastrophe, there is still so much surplus food?" Su Che was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that nearly four thousand shi of grain could be found in this small Sun Family Village." Zhang Liang said with emotion.

"These people also said before that the landlord's family has no food left..." Zhang Bao's face was a little ugly.

"If you go to take other people's food for nothing, they will definitely not want it." Su Che smiled.

"Exactly." Zhang Bao nodded.

"Where are the gold, silver and copper coins?" Su Che asked.

"For gold, silver and copper coins..." Zhang Liang turned over the account book with his head down, and read: "There are more than 200 taels of gold, more than 400 taels of silver, and the most is five baht. The total number on the account book is [-] taels. would be very different.”

"Okay." Su Che nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief. With so much money and food, the pressure was finally relieved.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with fighting the landlords and dividing the fields. If this is the case, let's continue to carry forward.

"What should we do next? Shall we move all the food and money back?" Zhang Liang asked.

"No." Su Che shook his head: "After a long journey here, we won another battle. How about rewarding us? Pass the order down, start cooking, kill pigs and sheep, and have a good meal." Celebration banquet!"

When it was said that there was going to be a celebration banquet, the entire Taiping army was boiling. Everyone cheered and helped to start cooking. After a while, the smoke rose faintly, and after a while, the meat was cooked and the rice was cooked.

This is the first time in months that everyone has had enough to eat.

Many people burst into tears as they ate.

Although each person can only get one bite of meat, this is the first time they have eaten meat in several years.

After the celebration banquet, there will be a field division meeting and a trial meeting.

Su Che distributed the fields of Sun Family Village to the Taiping Taoists who were willing to stay here, and let them carry out farming and fighting here.

The ownership of these lands is Taipingdao, and what the congregation owns is the right to use them, so they cannot be bought or sold.

This seems to be the same as the previous tenants, but in fact it is very different.

The tenants cultivated the landlord’s fields, and they had to pay [-]% of the grain to the landlord. During the festivals, the tenants also had to give gifts to the landlord.

When the landlord’s house is built, the tenants have to help, provide labor, and go to weddings and funerals. They only provide food for one bite, and there is no wages.

And Taipingdao's farming war is also [-]% to [-]%, but Taipingdao gets [-]% and the congregation gets [-]%.

Originally, Su Che only wanted to get [-]%, but was strongly opposed by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao. He only got [-]%. What is the difference between that and giving it away for nothing?
Landlords who can share [-]/[-] with their tenants are already regarded as good families, benevolent and good people!
When the people in Sunjiazhuang saw such a division of land, their eyes were red. At first they were somewhat resistant to joining the Taiping Dao, but now they became very active.

Before that, they stood on the side of the Sun family master, thinking that it was the Sun family master who gave them a bite to eat and gave them a way to survive, but now, there is no harm if there is no comparison!

After the division of land was over, there was a judging meeting. The master of the Sun family, the young master of the Sun family, and the old priest were all tied up and brought up.

Su Che briefly announced his crimes, "Sun Qi, the owner of the Sun family, and his son, Sun Yue, enshrined Ying Tianchang, forced a good man into prostitution, killed people, and all the witnesses and witnesses are there. I, Taipingdao, will sentence you to be hanged! Do you have any objections?" ?”

The three of them stared wide-eyed and struggled constantly with excitement, but their mouths were stuffed, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Looking at you, it seems that you are still not convinced, let Leng Gao come up!" Su Che said.

Soon, a somewhat thin old man came up. In fact, he was not too old, only in his 30s, but many tortures had made him weather-beaten, so that he looked like an old man.

Leng Gao stepped onto the stage, staring at the old man of the Sun family, Sun Qi, his eyes almost burst into flames, "You really deserve to die!"

"Don't worry, speak slowly, tell all about your grievances and pain." Su Che said seriously.

"Yes, Master." Leng Gao took a deep breath, closed his eyes in pain, and seemed to be recalling the unbearable past.

Soon, he opened his eyes, and said slowly: "I am from Sunjiazhuang. I used to be, but now I am not. It happened last year...Because of natural disasters, the harvest was very bad, but Sunjiazhuang still harvested [-]% of the crops." Even if our family saves on food and rent, it will be difficult for our family to hold on to the food.”

"We starved for a month. We couldn't take it anymore, so we wanted to borrow some food from the Sun family master and pay it back next year. It doesn't matter if there is more interest."

"We have planted fields for their family for so many years. We are all honest and responsible farmers. It is easy to borrow, and it is nothing more than the interest rate."

"I had negotiated the interest with the steward of the Sun family, and we got the food, but in the end, because the master Sun took a fancy to our daughter and asked us to exchange her for food, he forcibly snatched our life-saving food. Go back!"

"How can I be willing to sell my daughter? Who can sell their daughter if they can survive?"

While talking, Leng Gao's tears flowed down. He wiped his tears and continued: "I can only borrow some food from my neighbors, but Mr. Sun ordered that no one can lend us food. They He also said that I don't know what is good or bad, Master Sun has taken a fancy to my daughter, this is my blessing..."

"Later, my wife Li fell ill, and the family had no food or money. We can't just let her mother die like this. In the end, we can only watch our daughter enter the Sun family."

"Master Sun gave me some food and some money. I finally have the money to treat my wife."

"But later, my wife's illness was still not cured, and she died after all. My daughter wanted to see her mother for the last time, but she had a conflict with Master Sun and was beaten to death."

"I lost my daughter and my wife, so I went to the Sun family to make a theory, but I was beaten out with sticks and thrown out of the Sun family village."

"Later, I lived in the open and lived in the open air. I didn't know what to do. I was about to starve to death on the street several times. Fortunately, someone gave me some money and I survived."

"Afterwards, I joined the Taiping Dao. The leader said that he wanted to make the world peaceful, to make the world harmonious, to make the world free from grievances, and to stop us from suffering. I didn't believe it, even if I said it again and again. I don't believe it either."

"But now, I believe it!"
