Chapter 78
Another half month has passed, and the weather in mid-April has turned hot.

People working in the fields sweat more.

But people in Xincheng County feel that this year is cooler than ever before.

Because the wind of hope blows in everyone's heart.

Today's terraces have finally basically taken shape.

From a distance, it looks like a large flat staircase, which looks beautiful.

Zhao Jun is also very excited, it really succeeded, and the effect is not so good.

"My lord, this is a masterpiece."

Tan Ben burst into tears and tears, looking at the hillside in the distance and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Jun was speechless and took two steps away from him silently.

"This is not a miracle, it is a miracle created by human beings."

When Zhao Jun read the book, he knew that it would take a lot of effort to build terraced fields with just his hands.

But the hardships of the first half month were beyond her imagination, and even the strongest man lost a layer of skin.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off.

They succeeded.

When the last terraced field was cleared, the whole field was full of tired people.

Everyone shed tears, but tears of joy.

"Everyone is doing a good job. Everyone's wages are doubled today. Everyone go home and have a good rest. When everyone gathers here the day after tomorrow, I will share terraces with everyone."

Zhao Jun shouted loudly at everyone.

And those who were still paralyzed suddenly became energetic.

Want to divide the fields? !

You must know that in this era, the number of fields for each person is fixed, and no one can breed unless the government allows it.

They have little land in the county, and the land allocated to each person is also very small. I didn't expect that they would be allocated land now.

"Everyone should go back to rest first, and divide the fields the day after tomorrow. We will talk about it in detail at that time. Let's leave first."

Obviously everyone was exhausted, but they were still so excited, Zhao Jun shook his head helplessly.

"Thank you, my lord. If it wasn't for my lord, how could we have done it."

"Thank you, my lord, for saving our lives."

The people got up and did not leave directly, but bowed heavily to Mr. Zhao.

They knew that if it wasn't for this adult from Xianyang, they wouldn't be where they are today.

Zhao Jun looked at this group of simple people and smiled faintly.

"I have received my heart, let's go back and rest."

Ordinary people are like this, if you treat them better, they will be sincerely grateful.

But that's all she should do.

Zhao Jun also went back and fell asleep in the dark.

Although she didn't directly help in the field during this time, she was also tired and thin because of the command and explanations she ran around.

She and Qing Liu supported each other and had a good sleep.

After waking up, it was already dusk of the second day.

"Master Zhao, you have a good rest. The official asked the kitchen to cook and serve it later."

Tan Ben also finally came out of this shocking miracle. He looked extremely happy, and he couldn't hide his smile when he spoke.

"Okay, I happen to be hungry too." Zhao Jun stretched his waist and said refreshedly.

"By the way, my lord, are you really going to divide the fields tomorrow?" Tan Ben asked as if thinking of something.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Zhao Jun squinted at him.

"Of course I have no objection, I just want to ask, because the division of the land was stipulated by the state and county in the past, and each family pays taxes according to the land. Do we need to say hello to the state and county when we plan to divide the land now?"

Tan Ben is by no means timid, he just wants to follow the process.

"No, let's make a plan here, and just show them the registration booklet when the time comes."

"By the way, there should be the number of fields for each family in the county government. After we finish marking this time, you can change and add it again."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and ignored Tan Ben's doubts, those guys from Cong Zhicheng didn't dare to control me.

"Yes, the officer understands."

After Zhao Jun said so, Tan Ben felt relieved. Anyway, with her standing in front, there should be no problem.

Zhao Jun had dinner and rested overnight, and the next day it was time to divide the terraced fields.

After breakfast, she wandered towards the terraced fields with Qing Liu and Tan Ben.

In the morning, the fiery sun rises from the east and is looking at this side from the distant mountain top.

The golden light shines on the flat terraced fields, reflecting the dazzling land.

Jun Zhao looked from a distance, and it should be the most beautiful when the terraced fields are full of green and harvested.

She looked away, and only then did she see a dense crowd standing not far away.

Zhao Jun felt that he had come very early, but he did not expect that so many people were already waiting here.

"Good morning, my lord."

"Have you eaten, sir?"

Seeing them coming, the crowd was a little commotion, and many people were greeting Zhao Jun and asking if she had a good rest.

"I'm fine and I've rested, have you all rested?"

She shouted to the crowd and saw some familiar men repairing terraced fields.

"Rest well, rest well."

"I have rested a long time ago, and I went to fetch water yesterday."

The crowd responded to her.

"Okay, now that we're all rested, let's start dividing the fields. Later, let County Magistrate Tan take a roll call to see if every household has come."

Zhao Jun nodded to Tan Ben behind him, signaling him to start nodding people.

Tan Ben received the meaning and took the roster he brought over and began to count.

It didn't take long for the counting to be completed, and every household was present.

"Okay, then let me talk about the rules of dividing the fields this time."

Zhao Jun shouted, and the crowd started to listen seriously.

"First of all, we are dividing the land according to the head, because the total number of terraced fields is not too many, so an adult will be divided into half an acre of land, and a child over six years old will be divided into five acres of land. Do you have any opinions?"

This is what Zhao Jun discussed with Tan County Magistrate before. According to the current total number of terraced fields, this division should be enough.

"no comment."

"Yes, yes, very good, thank you sir."

"Great, my family can divide up to seven acres of land."

Everyone didn't expect that it would be so fair to divide according to the head.

Before, they thought whether they should be divided according to the contribution of building terraces, or divided according to property as before.

Everyone did not expect that the distribution is based on the head, and half-old children are also counted.

Now those who have many children are very happy.

However, families with few people are not angry, because they can't do it if there are too many people.

"Okay, no problem, I'm talking about the second one. Everyone has seen that this is a terraced field. Some people's fields may be far away on the hillside. I know that higher ones are not easy to cultivate, so the division of fields At that time, the fields above are given priority to those with a larger family and more labor force, and the ones below are distributed to families with fewer people, and everyone takes care of each other."

"At the same time, we will add one or two points to the top and the farthest as appropriate, and try to take care of everyone."

"We don't have a problem, it's a good job."

"Yes, we all belong to the same county and help each other."

The ones who were talking were those with a large number of families, and they had no objections, let alone the others.

Du Jiangshi, who was standing silently in the corner, let out a sigh of relief, his eyes were a little moist.

They have the smallest family members, and they never thought they would be able to get one-fifth of an acre of land now, and it is still in a place where it is easy to plant.

It's really great, their life should be much easier with these fields.

"Okay, since everyone has no objections, let's start dividing the fields."

When Zhao Jun gave an order, there was cheering, and the crowd started to divide the fields.

This time, the county magistrate recruited several veterans who are highly respected in the county.

Soon everyone was allocated a field they were satisfied with.
