At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 79, Changes in Shanghe

Chenjun, Chenxian, Shangheli.

A 10-member rebel team came to this small place escorting a disabled strong man and a scholar.

The village chief led all the villagers to the entrance of the village to greet the important figures in the county. Although through this period of contact, the villagers knew that the rebel army was fair in business and friendly to people, and was not as murderous as the Qin army, but for hundreds of years during the Warring States Period, The war has also made the people extremely afraid of the army.

"Little old man Qu Lu has seen the general"

Wu Jun smiled and said: "Old man, my name is Wu Jun. I am just a soldier in the rebel army. I came to Shangheli to be the chief of the pavilion. I am not a general. Among our rebel army, there is only one general, and that is General Xu of our rebel army."

Qu Lu immediately changed his words and said, "Hello, Mr. Wu Ting!"

The scholar next to Wu Jun suddenly asked: "The old man's surname is Qu, but is he a descendant of the clan of Chu State?"

In Chu State, Qu, Jing and Zhao were called "Three Lu". Due to the important status of these three major families, the Chu State set up specialized personnel to take charge of daily affairs. The person in charge of these specialized personnel is the "Sanlu Doctor", who has a high status and is a clan member of the Chu State.

Qu Lu waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to say nonsense. The little old man is just a domestic slave of the Qu family. It was just by chance that he left the Qu family and became an upright person in Shanghe."

Then Qu Lu looked at the scholar and said, "Who is this gentleman?"

The scholar said: "I am Chen Ping, now a scribe of the rebel army. This time I came to Shangheli to divide the official land."

Chen Ping's words caused a commotion among the people in Shanghe. Shangheli is within the administrative scope of Chen County. A large amount of land here is government land. Almost all the people here rent government land. But after hearing that Chen Ping was here, Those who divided the land, Qu Lu and others were worried that the rebels would take away the fields and they would not have enough fields for production.

Chen Ping saw the worries of the local people and said: "Don't worry, our rebel army is for the people to resist the violent Qin Dynasty, and we will not make it difficult for you to survive. How you rented fields before is still the same now."

After all, land was a big deal. Even if Xu Fan decided to equalize land, he would not dare to promote it rashly. He would only implement it slowly in the Chenjun area at the core of his rule.

After hearing this, Qu Lu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ping continued: "At the same time, I am also here to tell you the new policy of the rebel army. From now on, all your taxes will be merged into field taxes. From this year on, you will only need to pay 30% of the field taxes, and other oral and miscellaneous taxes will also be paid." All the corvees are gone."

Qu Lu couldn't believe it and said, "Aren't you just kidding me?"

Chen Ping said: "How dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter?"

Wu Jun also followed up and said: "My general told me that if any rebel official collects more than 3% of the tax, let me kidnap him and hand him over to him. From now on, Nai Gong will also be a member of Shanghe. Corrupt officials dare to steal our food." , I want their lives."

Wu Jun continued: "Our rebel army also has a policy that if you become a rural soldier, you can get 50 acres of land. When the Qin army comes over, I will lead you to the battlefield and drive away the Qin army to protect your country."

These words once again caused a commotion among the merchants. Everyone wanted these 50 acres of land, but they were worried about going to the battlefield to fight the violent Qin. You must know that the Chu State has been violently beaten by the Qin State in the past hundred years. The Qin Army His reputation in the Chu region is such that he can stop crying at night.

After a brief exchange between the few, they escorted their soldiers back to the military camp. Qu Lu took Wu Jun and the others into Shanghe. Originally, Qu Lu wanted to give up his house to Wu Jun and Chen Ping.

But Wu Jun stopped him: "Our rebel army has a policy. We can't take away a piece of money from the people. Just find us a vacant house." Chen Ping looked at Wu Jun in surprise. He didn't expect that any soldier in the rebel army would be like this. consciousness.

Wu Jun took out 100 yuan and said: "I am disabled, please ask Li Zheng to find some young people to clean this house so that we can live more conveniently."

How could Qu Lu dare to accept this money? He kept saying, "You can't do it!"

But Wu Jun put the money in his hand and said: "We have said that our rebels can't take a needle or a thread from the people. You have to pay for your hard work."

Qu Lu couldn't resist, so he found a few young men to help Wu Jun repair the dilapidated mud house, which could barely allow Chen Ping and Wu Jun to live.

That night, Wu Jun asked Qu Lu to buy some meat, and he invited the women and children in the village to prepare a banquet. Wu Jun invited prestigious figures in Shanghe and explained to them in detail the rebel army's policy of equalizing land.

"As long as you join the army, you can get 50 acres of land. If you have strong military skills and meet the standards of the regular rebel army, you can become a regular soldier of the rebel army and get 100 acres of land. We only have 3000 acres of official land in Shanghe, of which 100 acres 100 acres of land belongs to me, and 2800 acres of land is my job as the head of the pavilion. In other words, there are only 56 acres of land in Shanghe that can be divided. A maximum of 28 households of rural soldiers and households of regular soldiers can be divided. After allocating these lands, everyone Either we open up wasteland ourselves, or we go to other places with fields.”

"Wu Tingzhang, can you get land by joining the rural soldiers?" asked a villager.

At this time, Chen Ping said: "As long as you register as a rural soldier, I will immediately formulate documents to transfer the land."

The villager said: "Then I want to register as a rural soldier."

Qu Lu pulled the villager and said, "Zhao Yun, you are crazy!"

The villager said: "My family only has 20 acres of land, and I have to rent 80 acres of official land from the government to barely support my family. If this land is acquired by others, we will not be able to share it, and my whole family will have nothing to eat. And I am young and strong." Maybe I can become a regular soldier of the rebel army and be allocated 100 acres of land. With these 100 acres of land, my family will be able to turn over."

Zhaoyun's words serve as a reminder to other villagers that if they don't join the rural soldiers, it will be extremely difficult for them to rent government land in the future.

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will stay in Shanghe for the next few days until all the official fields are divided. Let's go home and discuss it with our families. It will be the same if we come to register tomorrow."

That night, when Chen Ping and Wu Jun were resting, Chen Ping was surprised to find that Wu Jun took out several books produced by Chen County from his baggage.

Who is the scholar here?

Chen Ping left in a hurry when he fled. He fled to Chen County almost empty-handed. Now he can't even find a book.

Wu Jun saw Chen Ping's surprise and smiled: "This is a gift from the general to our wounded soldiers. One is a general dictionary, which can quickly find 1000 commonly used words. We can also understand some simple documents, and the other is "The Book of Getting Rich" is a book on breeding and farming experience that our general summarized at Chen's house, and the last one is "The Art of War" to teach us how to command the rural soldiers."

After listening to Wu Jun's words, Chen Ping's soul was almost twisted with jealousy. In order to study, his brother divorced his sister-in-law who looked down on him. He also caused gossip in his hometown, which ruined his reputation. He paid so much price, but still It was not for studying. Now Wu Jun was just an ordinary soldier, but he easily obtained three books worth thousands of gold.

But soon Chen Ping saw Wu Jun's broken hand and calmed down again. Wu Jun had fought with his life for the opportunity he had now, so who had the right to be jealous.
