Chapter 10 Divide and Divide (Part [-])
It was busy at noon, and everyone looked at the wooden tablets in their hands with bright smiles.

There are two copies of the wooden slip, which are kept by the head of the household and the clan respectively.

You can see the name of the household head, and then the relevant records of the household head's land, house, and property.

It was so painful to write that my fingers almost cramped.

Only then did the tribe of more than 300 people be divided into 320 six households.

The average household size is just over seven, which means there are too many young children.

These children were all picked up by relatives of each family. After all, the more children there were, the more land they would get.

"Chief, it's not enough to even out the land." Ah Qi came over. As the patriarch of the previous generation, he tried his best to help Xinqu settle the matter today. Xinqu directly appointed him as the land officer, responsible for the land equalization.

After all, it was difficult for Xin Qu to manage thousands of people, but he could arrange a bunch of people who could take care of things.

These disabled middle-aged people were all packed up and thrown to A Qi. They were all his old brothers. They had sympathized with each other and supported each other over the years, and he could handle them.

In addition, they were still the main force in the series today, spreading Xin Qu's policy intentions, otherwise it would not have been possible to push forward so smoothly.

However, if we divide the land according to [-] acres per person, the clan farmland can only be equalized to [-] acres per person, which is simply not enough.

"Well, in this way, regardless of age, everyone will draw five acres of land according to one lot. As for how to change the land after they get it, let them coordinate by themselves.

Then there are more than 2000 acres left, which will be temporarily reserved as public land. I will let half of the slaves cultivate it, and the harvest will be used to feed the slaves. At the same time, I will draw an area as an equalized land for the slaves to cultivate.

The tribesmen can also choose to cultivate their own equalized fields. The harvest in the first three years will be theirs. After three years, they will pay taxes according to the equalized fields. Anyway, the quota for each adult is twenty acres.

Of course, if you do not open up wasteland in the new reclamation area I have designated, then the reclaimed land will belong to public land or equalized land. The amount of tax on public land can be negotiated, but if it is equalized land, the tax will start that year.

In this way, everyone is fair, and I can adjust our tribe's homestead arrangement according to the plan.

After all, the current tribal house is in a mess and needs to be changed. "

After Xin Qu finished speaking, A Qi came up and lowered his voice and said, "Have you settled all this already?"

Xinqu folded the pieces of wooden tablets and took out a separate piece of linen cloth, which was filled with the surrounding terrain: "Where we are, there are mountains and water, but there is only a valley gap.

If you want to gain a foothold here, you must block the gap in the valley.

The current location where the tribe lives is too far south to block this gap, so it is very dangerous when we face the earthwork.

Therefore, this time, I plan to arrange the location of the farmland here, rebuild the tribe's residence, and follow the example of the Am Shang to build a city.

The method of building it is the same as the way I build my own house.

In addition, we must dig trenches and build reservoirs as much as possible to ensure that we can survive here as long as possible.

I have calculated that just along the Xinshui (Guangou) coast, if the ditch is dug properly, there can be 225 acres ([-] square meters/acre) of irrigated land. Don’t collect water from slopes like we do. The yield per mu can reach [-] kilograms, which means one bag can produce [-] bags.

Based on the standard that eight bags per person can last a year, I can accommodate nearly 370 people.

In other words, the Xin family could accommodate nearly ten thousand people just by relying on the nearby land and following the example of the Shanxi concubines in farming!

Not to mention, we still have a lot of land in the south that can be used for grazing and farming. "

A Qi looked at the map. Although he couldn't understand the simplified Chinese characters on it, he could generally feel that Xin Qu's goal was very clear.

No wonder Wu said that this boy was favored by the emperor.

Just this clear plan is enough to be considered the best among the patriarchs of the past generations.

"You will teach me the relevant plans later." Aqi lowered his voice, "Don't tell anyone, these are all your plans. Be careful of people in the clan who are merchants from Dayi."

Xin Qu collected the map with a solemn expression and nodded: "I will."

Patting Xin Qu's shoulder, A Qi smiled happily and said: "You are more important than my life. Remember, if there are any problems, blame them all on me. I am only a disabled person, and death is not a pity, but you are different , the future with Xin's family may really lie with you. Please." Xin Qu didn't know what to say, and A Qi didn't give him a chance to speak, so he left straight away, and everyone announced their decision: "Everyone Listen to me! I will decide where the reclamation area is. Similarly, our current residence is located downstream of Xinshui River, which is a good reclamation area.

So I decided to put the residential fields upstream and turn the middle and lower reaches into reclamation areas.

This time, our land will be built in the city! "

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The crowd was cheering, but Xin Qu didn't say anything as he looked at A Qi who was trying his best to take credit for himself.

In terms of prestige, he is not as good as A Qi and the others, in terms of combat power, he is not as good as Bing Jia and Shi Wu, and in terms of technology, he is not as good as that group of hereditary "nobles". The only thing that can be praised is the eclecticism of modern people and a little bit of business ability.

"Qu, are you looking for us?"

Bing Jia and Shi Wu first went to draw lots, then gave the land they drew to their families to collect, and then came to find Xin Qu themselves.

"Yes." Xinqu first invited them to sit down, then handed the blank wooden slip to them and said, "On the blank wooden slip, you two each write down 100 members of the clan who are over 12 years old and under 25 years old. Both men and women are welcome. After writing, Give me.

Then make preparations and take the people on the wooden tablets to go upstream of Xin River and burn an open space.

Bing Jia, you are in charge of the east bank, and Shi Wu, you are in charge of the west bank.

And set up camp on the spot, train the tribesmen, and I will ask Cang Geng to transport the food for you later.

When I finish collecting the land here, I will go north with a hundred strong men.

We will take 300 people with us to attack Tufang's tribe first.

Firstly, to plunder slaves; secondly, to rob cattle, sheep and horses; thirdly, to buy time for the construction of the rear.

I will leave it to A Qi and the women to construct the farmland in the rear. "

Looking at the plan, the two had different expressions, and Shi Wu asked: "What about the slave?"

"It's very simple, take them with you." Xinqu said thoughtfully.

"This is not possible. If we take them to the battlefield, they may resist us." Shi Wu denied.

"I also agree with Shi Wu's view." The same is true for Bing Jia.

"This is indeed a problem." Xinqu pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think that if these people are allowed to accept our faith, can they agree?"

Bing Jia and Shi Wu looked at each other: "Can they accept it?"

"It's worth a try. But I won't let them simply become members of the Xin clan." The corners of Xin Qu's lips raised slightly, "I'm going to find Wu Xiaoye. You can order people according to the wooden slips as soon as possible and go north. The upper reaches of ten miles were burned to wasteland.

Harvest is not far away! "

"Okay." The two took their rosters on the table and left.

Xin Qu watched them each call their younger brother and start making arrangements. He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he obeyed.

After they wrote the wooden slips and adjusted the people, he would have a thorough understanding of each family's sphere of influence.

Fortunately, these two boys were not scheming. They just thought that they gave them blank wooden slips to facilitate registration and food rationing.

As everyone knows, after people have rights, they will immediately find someone close to them to share with them. This has been a habit of grouping for thousands of years.

Now that I have the household registration of the whole family, the kinship network, and the interpersonal relationships between several factions, it is not clear at a glance what each family is.

If there are no conditions, then create the conditions yourself!
Next, the slave class was divided internally, and two classes, naturalized and slaves, were formed, thus laying the foundation for expansion.

 Please collect, please like, please reward, please don’t do it for nothing, this is very important to writers.
