Chapter 419 Utopia ([-])
another three months later

Winter of the 96th year of Marquis Yan (306)
牟县
At the foot of Mount Tai, there is another deserted village, which has become Wang Miaoxin's royal paradise.

During this time, many great things happened.

Sima Yong, king of Hejian, surrendered after being defeated by Sima Yue, king of East China Sea, and was then executed by Sima Yue.

After Sima Yue became a powerful minister, he poisoned the emperor Sima Zhong and helped the emperor's younger brother Sima Chi ascend the throne.

The reason for supporting Sima Chi's ascension to the throne is because Sima Chi's mother is the daughter of the Langya Wang family, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, is doing this to unite with the Langya Wang family, which is the number one family in the world today.

The Yuan family, which was originally ranked first, has withdrawn from the ranking because it became the emperor. The Liaodong Wang family, which ranked second, has already had its own fief and founding a country, so it also withdraws from the ranking. The Hongnong Yang family, which ranked third, was eliminated by Jananfeng. The branch was killed when Zhang Fang slaughtered Luoyang. The Qinghe Cui family ranked fourth. Because it is located in the Central Plains, it has often been patronized by various refugee rebels and warlords in recent years. The family strength has declined. The Taiyuan Wang family ranked fifth. He was tossed to death by the Huns and Qianghu people.

There are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys are kings!

When the major aristocratic families withdrew due to various reasons, the Langya Wang family, which was originally only a medium-sized family, became the number one family in the Jin Dynasty.

However, the position of East China Sea King Sima Yue is not stable.

Liu Yuan saw that he could not persuade the Yan State to join the war, so he left the four-man team and returned to Bingzhou alone, where he called his fellow Huns to rebuild the Han Dynasty. It is said that a county has now been conquered.

At the same time, Wang Mi, the leader of the uprising army in Qingzhou, had gone to Jizhou to plunder, Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, was also plundering Jizhou, and many small groups of Hu people were also mainly plundering Jizhou. They also looted in Jizhou, the local refugees in Jizhou also looted in Jizhou, and the warlords in Jizhou also looted in Jizhou.

Happy Land Village

This is the place where Wang Miao established the Utopia, and he named this abandoned village Paradise.

With the experience and lessons from last time, this time, the early stage of Wang Miao's utopia was established more smoothly. There were no major problems for the time being, and only some trivial problems kept annoying.

Today, a group of Hu refugees fled to Happy Land Village.

Several of these barbarian refugees can speak fluent Chinese.

"My lord, can you let us live in your village? We have a strong body and can help you resist robbers." The barbarian who spoke had thick hair, a high nose, and deep eyes. The skin is whiter than the surrounding people.

This type of Hu people is collectively referred to as "Jie" in the Central Plains. They originally lived in the Kangju grassland, were captured as slaves by the Huns and brought to the Central Plains. They belong to the light-colored skin type.

Adult is a kind of respectful title for the nobles of the Hu people.

"What's your name?" Wang Miao asked the barbarian.

"The villain's name is Shi Yubei, and his style name is Shilong. My father was a slave of the Huns. Later, he was moved by the imperial court to the Central Plains and became a farmer. I, and later, my family’s field was occupied by the court dignitaries, and my father committed suicide in grief. A few years ago, I originally wanted to join the army of King Qi and strive for military merits, but who would have thought that an officer in King Qi’s army would kill me? I was sold as a slave to a merchant, and then I was resold by the merchant to a gentry manor as a serf."

"There is no unparalleled road. Not long ago, a group of refugees attacked. I took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the manor. Then I heard that there are refugees here, so I wanted to come here to seek refuge."

This Sinicized Hu refugee recounted his past sadly. There are many others like him.

Wang Miao had been in contact with Liu Yuan for a long time, so he understood that the name Shi Qianbei was probably a direct transliteration of the name of the Huns into a Chinese name, so after getting acquainted with Shi Qianbei, he chose a name for Shi Qianbei. New name "Shile".

Shile Shile, Yan Ran Le Shi, is a good name with a good meaning.

Another two months later, Letu Village ushered in a bumper harvest, and farmers harvested straw in their fields one after another.

When reclaiming farmland, Wang Miao encountered a trouble, that is, there were not enough cattle for farming.

If each family gets one head, some families will not be able to share the cattle. If three families share one head, the farmers will shirk their responsibility to feed each other.

As the saying goes, one family has cattle to use, and three families have cattle to starve to death.

The three families all hoped that the other two would feed the cattle, but the end result was that the cattle were so hungry that they had no strength to plow the fields.

Therefore, Wang Miao simply took the farm cattle as public property, arranged for a special cattle breeder to be responsible for raising cattle, and lent the cattle to the other family when they needed them.

As a reward, the borrower will give some food to the cattle breeder.

However, this model does not work. There are always farmers who borrow cattle and refuse to return them in time. They want to plow for a while, causing other farmers to have no cattle to plow.
Therefore, Wang Miao had to arrange special supervisors to supervise the borrowing of cattle by farmers. If the time was too long, they would be forced to take back the cattle.

But in this way, who will pay the supervisors?
At the beginning, several villagers were moved by Wang Miao's sincerity, and they were willing to use love to generate electricity and become supervisors for free to supervise the farmers' borrowing of cattle.

But over time, the unpaid supervisors became more and more slack and unwilling to continue to supervise, and they had to do farm work at home to support themselves.

As a result, Wang Miao had to establish a tax system, requiring villagers to pay [-]% of their rations as tax. In this way, every [-] peasant households could support one supervisor.

However, the old problem was temporarily solved, and a new problem appeared again, that is, some supervisors used their power to release water for their relatives and friends, allowing them to borrow it for a longer period of time, causing other farmers to have no cattle to use.

Then, there are also some clever farmers who will sneak more grain to the supervisor, so as to obtain a longer time to use the cattle.

In order to prevent the supervisors from abusing their powers, Wang Miao had to personally supervise the supervisors, but in this way, he wasted time to do other things.

Human energy is limited. As the village head, Wang Miao couldn't spend his whole life watching the supervisors to supervise, so he set up inspectors to supervise the supervisors.

However, inspectors will also abuse their power and use their power to collude with supervisors.

Therefore, it is necessary to add a censor on top of the inspector, and use the censor to supervise the prosecutors, but the censor is also a human being, and he can also abuse his power, so he has to set up a censor on top of the censor, and use the censor to supervise the governor.

However, the censor is also a human being, and the censor will also abuse his power, so he has to set up a higher-level supervisory agency, but the higher-level supervisory agency is also constructed by people, and will also use power for personal gain.

Moreover, in order to support so many newly added officials, the tax rate of farmers had to be increased, causing many farmers to go bankrupt, had to sell their land, and became refugees again. After becoming refugees, they would rob ordinary people in the village, causing the village Social security was very poor, and more people became refugees, while those high-ranking officials took the opportunity to occupy the fields, developed their own small forces, and expelled the village chief Wang Miao.

Wang Miao's second Utopia plan failed again!
