Chapter 249 Two Thousand Households
"The clan leader did this to ensure his control over the new land. There is nothing we can do about it." Zeyu reminded Bingjia.

Zeyu, who broke away from the cover, coughed lightly: "I know. But it's not a problem to keep struggling like this! You can't let go of the land you have cultivated for many years and then open up wasteland again, right?"

"Didn't you hear it? This is a policy specifically for adult concubines in the family." Next to Zeyu, Xinluo lowered his voice and said to them, "Concubines will always grow up and have to divide the family. Before dividing the family, divide the family land. , wouldn’t it be good if we let them move to the border and be promoted to nobility, and also get a large piece of land tax-free that exceeds the original title level?”

"Eh...it's true!" Bing Jia also understood after hearing this.

Zeyu also nodded slightly. After all, the land was limited, and the second son and concubine could be separated. Using this incentive method as a guide could still reduce the consumption of forced migration by the Xin family.

"Okay, I will arrange the relevant documents later. If you want to move eastward to be under the rule of Changping County, the same goes.

Oh, yes, Shaze Township has not yet begun to sort out the rivers. If Zhusi is also planning to fall under the rule of Changping County, they will also migrate at the same rate according to the halving principle.

Finally, I will write to various places and officially announce that Xin’s grassroots governance framework is at the three levels of county, township and village.

The county and its attached lands are under the direct jurisdiction of the county, while other parts are transferred to the township.

Township official positions will be directly appointed by the county yamen in the future. According to the rules, once the appointment reaches the doctor's level, as long as there is no physical disability or sudden illness, the appointment and removal at the county and township levels cannot be shied away from.

As for the position of village chief, the county selects the direct deputy with the highest title in the village. The election is held every five years. The village chief can also be elected by the people of the village under the supervision of the county officials.

After all, there is the Xin family. In the final analysis, we still vote for the tribe. Our tradition cannot be lost. "

Xin Qu was steadfast in his vow, but everyone seemed to be indifferent.

Because the objects of voting are naturally not naturalized people and slaves, but nobles above common people.

In the final analysis, this is still a system of universal suffrage among landed proprietors.

It is a little bit more advanced, but only a little bit. The purpose is to reduce the resource consumption of the administrative framework.

"In addition, after village chiefs and the like are promoted, the yamen will not provide subsidies. The only subsidy provided by the clan is an additional [-]% tax reduction as an encouragement."

"The patriarch is wise!" This time, someone finally laughed.

This is a good thing!
Whoever's family has a high title or a lot of land will be promoted to the position of village chief, and the tax will be reduced by [-]%, which can be said to be a huge wealth.

This is what Xinqu wants. It is best to have stability at the grassroots level, but if he wants to remain stable as the village chief, he has to pay taxes to the county. If he cannot pay the tax amount, then there is no need to continue to work around and replace him.

In essence, this thing is also an oppressive system. If you don't have enough power, how will those people you offended before come to power?The outcome is completely predictable!
In short, the relevant changes have begun to take effect, and Xinqu is taking advantage of his free time to adjust the deployment of troops and relocate the population.

The Second and Third Battalions of Qinglong moved eastward.

The second battalion was placed at Xiaotangshan, and the third battalion went to Xiaodianze.This took away a population of 600 people.

Then the leaders of the Jinyun clan were also absorbed by Xinqu, and some of them were moved to Baiyanggou of the Ze clan, and some of them were moved to Zhuque camp.

More than 400 people came here again.

Two and one, more than 2000 people left, leaving him with nearly 4000 people.

Xinqu didn't expect that each family actually had so much manpower on hand.

His original bottom line was to keep only four thousand, but after killing the surname Zi, he took over the remnants of the Jinyun clan and some women from Shaoshan and Zibu.

But there are still some danger signs coming.

"Well...the remnants of the Changxin clan named Ji, when they were responsible for building the earthen fort, tricked 700 people from the Ran clan into joining them..."

Xin Qu's cheek twitched. Didn't he say that Ji Lin was a relative of the Ran clan?How could he still be fooled?
With the addition of more than 700 people, no wonder there are almost 4000 people now!

The more I fight, the more I get!

"Why are you so sad?"

Yao Ce and Jiang Shi were sitting here. Seeing Xin Qu's sad face, they asked curiously.

"The number of people in the grassland is beyond imagination. I calculated the household registration here, and added one piece to the household registration of the entire clan. There are more than 1000 people, which is [-] households." Xin Qu put down the bamboo slips and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, "Ji Lin Bu swallowed it whole before and did not count the population carefully. Unexpectedly, this group of people actually went to recruit relatives and friends of the Ran tribe.

The Ran Clan...the Ran Clan was divided internally.

The leader of the Ran clan came here because of the pressure on the whole clan to support Ji Lin, but when he met us, his prestige was greatly lost.

I had previously asked Bingjia to organize some of the men of the Changxin family named Ji into separate camps and throw them into a camp near the earthen fort to build an earthen fort.We just give them food, and we don't expect them to contribute to us.

As a result, while they were digging, they met the Ran people and told them that as long as they came to help, they would have food to eat.

Some people in the Ran clan didn't want to come, but some people didn't doubt his presence, especially their clan leader, who came with 700 people.

After being brought in happily, the heads of the clan leaders were chopped off.All the clan members became slaves and worked for Ji.

He was immediately fooled into pieces. "

"Then why didn't they run away!" Yao Ce was dumbfounded.

"Yes!" Jiang Xi also found it incredible?

After bullying them so much, why don't the Ran people run away?
"Run? Where can I run? It's such a winter. Is there any food?" Xin Qu shook his head slightly, "The person in charge is called Ji Dan. Do you have any impressions?"

"Ji Dan? Isn't this Ji Lin's uncle who gave the blessing?"

"Blessings?" Xin Qu raised his eyebrows, "Well, arrange for someone to invite him in."

Qingyan turned and left.

"Then, Qu Qian continued, it is impossible for the Ran tribe to have no livestock."

"Yes, but they are all skin and bones." Xinqu shook his head, "The climate this year is unusual. There was a severe drought first and then heavy rain in the east. On the grassland, the rainy season came first and then the drought. At this time, the grass was still there. It didn't turn yellow due to the drought, so people didn't notice the crisis brewing at all.

Many tribes had not even begun to prepare hay, but the white plague struck them.

It was small at first, and then it suddenly increased in size, which was also related to the heavy rain when we came.

In short, after all this trouble, there was no fodder, and a large number of tribesmen on the grassland went south.

The split of the Ran clan is also related to the beginning of the grassland people's union. Some of the relatives left, but the Ran clan still chose to believe in Ji Dan, and then..."

"Clan leader, please believe in our sincerity." Before Ji Pan walked in, a voice came first.

He was wearing a white sheepskin jacket. He looked about forty, had naturally curly hair, and was neatly groomed. His complexion was rather dark, and he probably often basked in the sun. "On the grassland, as the clan leader expected, the grassland people were large in number. Going south, they are still scattered in numbers, but they have begun to gather and prepare to form an alliance.

In order to inform the clan leader of this news, we also completely consumed the trust between our relatives.

Therefore, except for the Xin family, we have nowhere to go.

Therefore, please rest assured, clan leader, our tribe of Changxin clan named Ji is not Ji Lin, and he cannot fully represent us. "

Xin Qu didn't care about Ji Dan's expression of loyalty. The so-called saying should not be seen, but how to do it.

Xin Qu stood up, walked out of the table, and greeted Ji Dan politely: "Haha, Zhu Dan (Ji Dan is a witch Zhu, so he calls him by his title + name.) Why worry? The Xin family welcomes all those who wish to have a future for the Xin family. Warriors of war! The large-scale march of the grassland people to the south is indeed not good news, but Zhu Dan and the concubines brought order to the chaos and added Dingkou to my Youxin family, which is a meritorious service! A great meritorious service!

After that, I will arrange for people to make a decision. As long as they are not guilty, they will all be given titles to common people. If anyone catches a slave of the Ran clan, his head will be considered a first-level meritorious service.

I need to move some of the Ran people eastward to the wilderness and swamps east of Sha Ze, so that they can give me the Xin family to graze to provide food after summer. "

Zhu Pan asked in surprise: "Does the tribe have enough food before spring? If not, I know that the tribe closest to us has a lot of dried beef."

"Don't worry, if you live frugally, the Xin family's food can last until next autumn harvest." Xin Qu laughed, "Of course, the Xin family has other food sources, and the purpose of hunting down the prairie people is mostly to make up for the meat gap. After all, you just eat food all the time and don’t gain strength!”

"That's it." Zhu Dan's eyes flickered, she didn't expect the Xin family to be so... rich!

"Okay, then Zhu Pan has made great contributions to me with the Xin clan, and I should be rewarded! Come on, let Zhu Pan be promoted to a sergeant with the Xin clan. This time, 700 more people from the Ran clan have joined me, which is a rare event."

 The Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day are celebrations for every family, so updates may not be timely, but they are guaranteed to be updated twice.

  Two updates at 9.30, one update is due and will be made up after the National Day.

  Thank you all for your monthly votes. There were 9.28 monthly votes before 9.2968 and [-] monthly votes. Three more will be added later.

  Four updates are owed in total.

  Thanks again for the support.
