The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 139 Tough
A county with more than [-] people.

Not too big, not too small.

The heads of dozens of bandits fell, letting everyone know about Runtu's methods.

Really ruthless.

Those big households were all thinking in their hearts, they must not offend Runtu.

Runtu: "Ghost Seventh, tell the brothers to pass on the news. All the people in the county, those big households, are all called over to discuss matters."

Runtu thought about solving the land issue in the county seat.

Self-declared tax exemption.

But 80.00% of the land is in the hands of those big landlords, which is to give them tax exemption.

This is not what Runtu wanted.

This time he wants to call all the big players over for a meeting.

Buy the land again and take it back to the county government.

Then rent it to farmers for free, and no trading is allowed.

the next day.

Dozens of big landlords in the county town came to the county government office.

Runtu arranged seats for them.

"I'm the new county magistrate. It's been two months since I took office. It's the first time we've met. I want to do more for the common people. The most important thing is that I need your support."

With the demonstration of killing bandits and beheading two days ago, these individuals should not be too opposed to themselves.

If you really object to the stubborn guy, you will directly chop up the house.

"Your Majesty the County, please give me your orders, and I will definitely obey."

Runtu took a look at the forty or fifty people, and they were basically some well-known people in the county, and basically all of them came.

No one dares not to come.

Gui Laoqi arranged for the escort team to go.

Everyone has a gun in their hand.

There are also servants in these big households.

But those servants are no match for the guards.

It is the number of these guns, those big households are not equipped with so many.

"Everyone, I called you here today to talk about the land issue. I have planned a few routes."

Runtu took out a map of the county seat and drew on it, "From here to here, it is the main road, and these are the branch roads. Some houses along the way will be demolished, and everyone's support is needed. A few days ago, Wang Yuanwai , you seem to disagree?"

This is a nail house.

"No, no. The county lord has spoken, and I will follow through. I can do whatever I want."

The scene where the bandits beheaded still had a deterrent effect.

As long as it is not a particularly serious matter, these individuals dare not object.

Although the house was demolished, there was compensation.This compensation is at a normal level, neither less nor more.

"There is another problem. It is the common people's land. There are too many mud legs without land, which is not conducive to the stability of the county. You all have a lot of land in your hands. You keep some of it for yourself, and sell the rest , sold to the county government and owned by the county government. Just follow the market price."

This news seemed like a bolt from the blue to the big players.

Building roads takes up a lot of resources.

This is to get rid of all their land.

None of them wanted to agree.

What the Chinese like most is land.

Everyone likes to buy land.

We will not sell the land until the end of the mountain.

If the land of future generations can be bought and sold at will.

It is estimated that there will be many people in future generations who, like the current people, do not have their own land.

As long as you have your own land, you won't starve to death anyway.

Runtu: "This is what I want to talk about now, and I'll give you a week to think about it."

Everyone left to go.

Gui Laoqi: "Boss. It is impossible for them to sell the land. No one is willing to sell it, even if it is a high price."

"It is imperative. If you are willing to cooperate, there will be their benefits. If you don't want to, call the guards and find a name to search the house. These big families can develop, and it is estimated that few of them have a clean foundation. Kill them If you catch them, you won't be wronged. If the bandits are not deterrent enough, then kill a few more wealthy households."

It's better to be a county seat, what Runtu wants to do.

The [-] troops under his command are well equipped.

Although there are five hundred who just joined not long ago.

But there are still more than 200 who have been training for more than half a year and can come in handy.

Never eat and drink.

There are also ginseng to eat.

All of them are in good physical condition.

Gui Laoqi: "Yes, Master, I understand."

What Runtu said was very clear and powerful.

Gui Laoqi is also very cool, following a strong boss.

He looked majestic in the county town.

With so many people under his command, he never thought that he would be so proud before.

The wealthy households left the county government, each with a sad face.

Threatened by Runtu.

They haven't decided what to do yet.

Knowing that Runtu is relatively strong, after all, even the largest gang of bandits in their county was killed in a day.

They know that their strength is definitely not as good as the bandits.

"Mr. Li, what does the county honor mean? To take care of those muddy legs? Our land is full of hard work. It has been accumulated for generations. How can we give away the family property of our ancestors at will."

"Don't worry, there's still a week left. Take your time. The county magistrate is young, so it's best to follow him. It's really the opposite. If you don't keep it clean, you will be cleaned up just like bandits."

They were very surprised.

The county magistrate is also a big landlord.

I want to come to be in the same class as them.

How could such a thing be done.

Some couldn't figure it out, and didn't know what Runtu was thinking.

None of them wanted to cooperate.

But he was also afraid of Runtu's soldiers.

Runtu has already made a decision, if the wealthy households don't cooperate, then they will be tough.

Go straight to the jail and make another charge.

In that case, their family will come to redeem the person, and they are probably willing to give money and land.

Soon, a week has passed.

"Seventh brother, who are willing to cooperate?"

Gui Laoqi brought over a list.

It is written very clearly.

Willingness to cooperate is only half.

And also cut corners.

Only a very small group of people fully cooperate.

"Jiang's family, there is still this one, there is no need to exist. Bullying men and women, and there are still life lawsuits. If you give money to pay, you think you will be fine?"

Gui Laoqi took people to these two houses.

Hundreds of people, all with guns.

In a county, you can basically run amuck.

"What are you going to do? Is there still Wang Fa?"

Gui Laoqi rushed in with the people.

Bring dozens of people over.

Move directly.

The feeling of copying the house is very cool.

"Take it easy, these bottles and jars are good things, don't smash them. Don't let those splints go."

"Brother Seven, are these chickens and sheep?"

"Take them all away, just in time for the brothers to have a tooth sacrifice."

This is what Runtu agreed to.

Be tough.

It's no fun for the Jiang family to be domineering in the county.

"These two were handcuffed."

Their houses were also sealed.

As for the female relatives, they didn't care about him.

Only the culprit was caught, and no other people were implicated.

Gui Laoqi moved very quickly, and he had to rush to the next house.

There are three or four families on the list of ransacking.

As for others, although there are mistakes, it is not likely to be ransacked.

The work of copying the house is very cool.

In one day, three companies were raided, and a lot of gold and silver property was seized.

Naturally, the land deeds under their hands were also copied.

The ransacking went very smoothly, and they couldn't resist at all.

Many individuals were sent to the cells of the county government.

Runtu directly ordered that all beheaded.

And spread the news.

There was an old woman in Jiang's family, Jiang Yuanwai's mother. After hearing the news, she died at the age of 70.

Someone was arranged to report to the prison.

"master."

"How's the situation at home?"

"It's all copied, the old ancestor just left."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Yuanwai was so angry that he was half dead.

He didn't expect Runtu to be so ruthless.

I scolded Runtu many times.

The servant brought the meal.

All good dishes.

It's the mutton that was stolen from the house.

Feed these people in the cell.

"Eat this meal well, and you won't have anything to eat tomorrow."

The few people who were locked in the cell had the same fate as the bandits, and they would be dragged to the vegetable market to be beheaded tomorrow.

None of them could believe it was true.

Not only the client didn't believe it, but the people outside didn't believe it either.

These few members have some strength outside Jiashan.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate would destroy people with one sentence.

It really is the county magistrate who broke the family.

Everyone was thinking that this county magistrate Zhang was even more outrageous than the previous county magistrate.

Beheading outside the staff is a novelty.

There are also many people who come to see it.

When the head fell to the ground, everyone knew it was true.

The other wealthy households who were unwilling to cooperate were trembling at this moment.

Anyone who is not stupid knows that Runtu is trying to make an example to others.

Some smart ones went to the county government that day.

With the title deed in hand.

When they went to the county government, Runtu entertained them.

"Xianzun, this is the land deed under my name, with a total of [-] acres. I brought all of them here. Most of them are fertile land."

When the land deed was brought over, my heart was bleeding.

But for the sake of his own life, he can only give up money to save his life.

There are many people like him.

Especially those with unclean hands and feet are even more frightened.

People don't fight with officials.

In the county seat, the county magistrate basically does what he says.

Now everything fits together very well.

Some wealthy households in the county basically took over all the land deeds.

Runtu bought it with silver at the market price.

It was found that too much money was needed.

Lower the price.

The first thing you want to sell is the market price.

What came later was [-]% off the market price, or even [-]% off.

As for those who are still unwilling to cooperate, they will directly search the house.

It was relatively smooth.

In addition to some wealthy households in the city, some landlords in villages and towns also use this method to get it.

Fortunately, Runtu has enough money.

After all, there is a steady stream of food and tea.

These goods are easy to sell.

There is also high-value ginseng.

If you run out of money, you can just sell another batch.

A town under the jurisdiction of the county seat.

A landowner.

"Father, it's not good. The wealthy households in the county are selling their land, so let's do the same."

The news from the village was not so fast.

But it won't take too long for everyone to know the news.

"The magistrate of the dog day does not do personnel affairs."

Up to now, only [-]% off to buy.

Very cheap.

Even the high price is reluctant to sell, let alone this price.

The foundation of this family is not clean.

Maybe beheaded too.

After learning the news of the beheading, the landlord felt a little flustered.

"Father, in order to save our lives, let's divide up the land."

Selling the land is uncomfortable, and this time he has to divide the land, it will kill me.

It took a while to agree.

His son heard the news in the county seat.

Several neighboring villages and towns are selling land, and they will come to them soon.

His house is different from others.

There is a life lawsuit in his family.

Maybe he will end up with a beheaded one.

In order to save lives, it is possible to save lives by allocating the land in advance.

The landlord took out the title deed and looked at it very reluctantly.

"These are all here. Don't we have two long-term workers in our family? Those people are good, so give them this land. It's hard to say when they will say something good to us if we don't have money to avoid disaster."

"Father, I know you are uncomfortable, but the trend is the general trend, let's divide it. Many people have been beheaded in the current county."

"I know, I know. This is my heart."

this afternoon.

Hand over all the villagers.

"Have you heard that Landlord Yang said he would give us land?"

"That old guy, full of gossip, who knows what he's going to do?"

"I heard that it has something to do with the new county magistrate."

"What county grandpa?"

The villagers here don't even know the name of the county magistrate at this time.

"What's new? Landlord Yang can still give us the land?"

Most of the people here are tenant farmers.

Even those who have their own land are pitifully few, only a few points.

"Landlord Yang is so rich, if he distributes the land to us, wouldn't we also become landlords?"

"This is new enough, I haven't heard of it yet."

"Go, go, the land is divided, take a look."

When they came to a stage, Landlord Yang stood on the stage.

"Everyone, young and old, be quiet. Today I called everyone to talk about something, which is to distribute the land for everyone. The land deeds are all in my hands, and these are all distributed to the big guys. That's the thing. Some people may say , I do this, you may think I am stupid and crazy. Let me tell you, I am neither stupid nor crazy, I just want to do something good for the neighbors. The life of the villagers is very difficult. Just help, that's what it is."

What he said was outrageous.

"This Landlord Yang really gave us the land? I remember that the good five-cent land in my house was tricked away from my father by him. I don't believe he can be so kind, this bastard. .”

"It is estimated that there will be something to say in it."

"Come up one by one."

Holding dozens of land deeds in his hand.

"Hold it, hold it, this five-point land is the best."

"This was originally my home."

After the division was over, my heart sank a bit.

Eighty percent of them were distributed.

There are still [-]% of the land deeds in hand, all of which are the best land.

"Throughout the ages, I've been the first person to distribute land to these mud legs. I'm the first one with a radius of a hundred miles. They don't have to confess me to these mud legs."

"Father, it's good to divide. There are two big families in the town next door. The land is gone, and the people are imprisoned in the county government's prison. It's very miserable."

Jiashan doesn't have any awesome people in this place.

Runtu did not cover up his work, and he did it if he refused to accept it.
