Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 24 Replacing the Title Deed
When the old craftsman entered the study, he saw Zhang Zongxian practicing calligraphy there.Then he quickly saluted Zhang Zongxian.

"Xiaomin pays homage to the county lord"

"Old Liutou is here to sit down and talk"

"If you don't dare, you can just stand up"

"If I tell you to sit, you can sit." Liu Jianghu was afraid of dirtying the chair in the study, so he half-squatted and looked like he was sitting on it, but his buttocks were still hanging in the air.Zhang Zongxian felt helpless seeing him sitting like this.The class differences in this feudal society cannot be ignored by people who have money.

"Lao Liutou's firecracker needs to be built faster! And when will the tiger crouching cannon let me test it?"

"All the craftsmen in the county are afraid to stop. They work six hours a day. There is really no manpower."

"You are reluctant to hire people. If there is a shortage of craftsmen, you will recruit them. There are also some good boys in the village who recruit more apprentices. It is nothing more than a meal."

"The craftsmen in the county are able to do it with us. Apprentices are not worth it. It will take him several years to get started."

"Old Liutou, your vision is too short-sighted! Can't you recruit in other counties when there are no more in this county? It's just to help them pay their annual service money. Besides, as for the apprentice, do you just work for this year? The official told In the future, your guns will not be made for one or two thousand, but will be made for tens of thousands."

"Xiaomin is stupid and Xiaomin arranges to recruit people when he returns home"

"Not only to recruit people, but also to expand the workshop and add equipment. If you don't have enough money, you can go to my bank to borrow money. The interest rate is very low. I will purchase a large number of farm tools from now on. If you can't produce at that time, I will Just give the order to someone else."

"Xiaomin will not disappoint the county magistrate, and will recruit people to expand the workshop when he returns home."

"How is the spring steel research going? When will the tiger crouching gun be tested?"

"Several types have been researched and are being trial-produced. The tiger crouching cannon is being manufactured and it should be able to test run in a few days for Xiaomin."

"Hurry up, I have taught you so many methods, have you used them in production? And how do you pay the craftsmen? Is it priced according to the piece I said. Don't be reluctant to pay, if you can't keep up The official's pace, then the official has to find someone else."

"Please don't worry, the county lord will do what the county lord told you when you go back. The remaining [-] firecrackers will be made for the county lord in half a month, and five cannons will be made for the county lord in half a month. The good little people are folded in that workshop."

"It's about the same, but you can't cut corners. If you fail the acceptance, it's a trivial matter to lose money."

After beating the old willow head, Zhang Zongxian went to school to continue teaching.Now Zhang Zongxian does less exercise at night, and he is busy until late every day.It is necessary to teach students and organize fish scale books.The plan is to re-issue land deeds for the people after the autumn harvest is over.Now that the autumn harvest is over, it is time to wait for the fish scale book to be sorted out and compared with the land deeds in the hands of the common people for confirmation.

After three days of hard work, I finally finished sorting out the fish scale book, and now I can start to re-establish the title deed.

Before re-establishing the land deed, Zhang Zongxian held a mobilization meeting for the people in the county government.It is determined that the village as a unit will be handled by the head of the village with people to the Yamen.Because the fixed fixed tax should also be written on the land deed, the comparison between the land deed and the fish scale book is very important.This time, it will be handled first for landlords with less than [-] mu.After these people have completed the process, they will be given to those with more than one hundred mu.

The purpose of doing this is also to further investigate the hidden fields, and the smart ones will report their own hidden fields, and after paying five years of taxes and publicizing them for 7 days, they will be granted the title deed if there is no objection.Still thinking about concealing it and not reporting it, the extra land on the fish scale book will be confiscated by the yamen after the land deed is renewed.

The specific handling process has also been determined.First, the head of the village will lead the queue at the gate of the Yamen. During the queue, someone will keep preaching the latest tax policy of the Yamen and how to change the title deed.These presentations are undertaken by the deputies of each room.

When they arrived at the village, the head of the village would lead people into the hall of the county government office, and the householder would check the authenticity of the land deed. After the title deed was correct, four of Zhang Zongxian's disciples would compare the fish scale book and the land deed with the people in the householder.If there is no problem, rewrite the title deed and stamp it on the spot.The problematic Zhang Zongxian resolved the case on the spot.The clan's public land is not recognized at all, and whoever is willing to pay the tax for five years will own it.

At the beginning, the land deed change was not very smooth. Most of the common people were literate and had to confirm the size of his land after repeated confirmation.Zhang Zongxian was also in the lobby to settle the case non-stop. For the disputed land, whoever pays the tax is the one who counts.

And Zhang Zongxian, who heard that the clan didn't recognize the clan field, came to the county government to make troubles, and Zhang Zongxian would be locked up and starved for two days before releasing them.The general public approves of this change of title deed, and even more so for the fixed tax corvee tied to the land.Zhang Zongxian also took the trouble to repeatedly emphasize this tax policy.I believe that since then, it will be impossible for those lizheng officials to apportion at will as before.

In this way, village by village was dealt with, and by the way, those Lizheng who oppressed the people the most on weekdays were sent to prison.During this period, Huang Shilang met Zhang Zongxian. In order to stabilize him, Zhang Zongxian directly replaced Huang Shilang's land deed, turned a blind eye to the land he swallowed, and put all the people who wanted to sue him in prison.

Zhang Zongxian was not so polite to other gentry.The land originally stored in their names left one after another.Let them lose a large part of their income.A few came to the county government office to make trouble, but Zhang Zongxian threatened to expel their fame, and someone arranged by Yu Nong broke his leg in the street.Those who opposed it died down.

Just when Zhang Zongxian thought that the land lease replacement would be completed soon.

Yunong arranged to enter Huang Shilang's house, and the eyeliner suddenly came to report.Huang Shilang and his men are forcing the people near Letangbao to sell it to other places at a low price.He told the nearby villagers that the magistrate and he were brothers, and that all the people who sued him were locked up by the magistrate.Let the nearby villagers sell the land to him within a time limit, otherwise the families who don't sell the land will be ruined.

Zhang Zongxian smashed the table on the spot after hearing Yunong's report.The official reputation he had accumulated with great difficulty made Huang Shilang corrupt like this.I can't wait for the training of the new army to be completed, so I have to kill Huang Shilang now.And it had to be wiped out cleanly, otherwise it would be a problem for him to escape outside the side wall.

Although Huang Shilang's thugs are many, they are all ruffians and scoundrels, and they can only escape from the new army.However, if they rely on the high wall of Letang Fort to resist, the new army will suffer a lot of losses.This new army is the seed of Zhang Zongxian's future expansion of the army, and it must not be lost to this country tycoon.I have to find a way to go directly into the fort and attack again.

Zhang Zongxian thought for a long time, and suddenly thought of the people who were still in prison to sue.Maybe they can help him.

Immediately, he took Yunong to the prison to see how the complaints were going.

Although Zhang Zongxian made a special confession in the prison, the jailer did not dare to make things difficult for these common people.

Zhang Zongxian entered the dark and damp cell.The prisons passing by along the way are all detaining the criminal Li Zheng.Seeing Zhang Zongxian coming here, he was still shouting for injustice.Zhang Zongxian looked at these defeated dogs with disgust.He continued to walk in disdainfully.

The jailer took Zhang Zongxian to the cell where the people who complained were held.Those people are lying bored.Seeing someone coming, they all got up and climbed onto the wooden bars of the prison.

Zhang Zongxian felt very guilty looking at these people. Although he is not a good person, he is not a pure bad person either.He still can't do the thing of bullying the weak. He originally thought that he was waiting for the new army, and after he was thoroughly trained, he would deal with Huang Shilang, and lock up the people who complained first.It can be regarded as protecting them from Huang Shilang's revenge.

He thought about killing Huang Shilang and then making up for them.Unexpectedly, Huang Shilang was so greedy that he wanted all the land nearby.We can no longer allow him to continue to persecute the people.Otherwise, the reputation he had built up with great difficulty would be ruined by him.

Facing the people locked inside, Zhang Zongxian bent down and saluted directly: "I'm sorry folks, I, as a parent officer, did something wrong and made everyone suffer." The people in the prison were also stunned.For the first time, an official apologized to them.They can only stand there without knowing why.

Zhang Zongxian continued to say after saluting, "It's because I'm not an upright official. I originally wanted to kill the beast Huang Shilang after the soldiers in the county practiced into an army. In order to stabilize him and prevent him from jumping over the wall, I had no choice but to lock everyone here. Also In order to prevent that Huang Shilang from retaliating against everyone.

I never thought that Huang Shilang would be so frantic that he would forcefully buy people's fields in the name of his own official.This official has made up his mind not to indulge this hungry tiger any more.This Huang Shilang will be destroyed tomorrow.

But the army had just been established for two months, and Huang Shilang was in that high-walled courtyard again.It's not easy to kill him.If you attack Letang Fort by force, it is easy to accidentally injure innocent people in that fort.If all the strong men can help me destroy this Huang Shilang, I will reward each of you with five acres of farmland."

As soon as they heard that the five-acre field was given, the people in the prison became excited.He said in a hurry, "I am willing to help the county lord", "I will help the county lord if I have a grudge against that Huang Shilang", "The county lord Huang Shilang took my wife and I must kill the thief"

Seeing that the people were so loyal and brave, Zhang Zongxian informed them of the plan.

First of all, Zhang Zongxian will let them go out and ask them to contact and mobilize the people in the villages near Lechangbao, and together they will surround Lechangbao early tomorrow morning to force Huang Shilang not to go out to grab the land.In this way, Huang Shilang will definitely ask the county government for help, and then Zhang Zongxian will personally lead the shop soldiers to pretend to rescue Huang Shilang.

When they arrived at Lechang Fort, they first entered the fort under the guise of support, and then took Lechang Fort with cooperation from inside and outside.If the people were killed or injured during the siege, Zhang Zongxian promised that all the compensation would be borne by the county government.Once Lechang Fort is breached, the land Huang Shilang occupied will be returned to the people.

Zhang Zongxian repeatedly emphasized the need to mobilize the people quickly and not give Huang Shilang a chance to react.

After seeing that everyone understood, Zhang Zongxian asked Yunong to arrange for these people to be secretly released from the city.Then ask Yunong to mobilize his informants to go to the village near Le Changbao to agitate the people.After explaining to Yunong, Zhang Zongxian went to the barracks.
