Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Coughing lightly, Zhang Yan pointed to the first line of words on it, then simply took the certificate back into his hand, and taught the other party to read it sentence by sentence.

……

"This is to certify that Wang Er, a native of Wancheng, Lujiang, is the user of the following land ownership, and his household registration number is: [-]."

"The land type is: Class A agricultural land (unauthorized change of use is not allowed)"

"Land owner: Lujiang County, Wan State, Han Empire"

"The land is located 210 miles south of the main gate of Wancheng, Lujiang River. The four extensions are: Wanshui in the east; northern foot of Qianshan Mountain in the south; 19.97 meters west of Wanshui in the west; Wanshui station in the north; the total area is [-] Han. mu."

"The type of land source is: reward for two years of service, and the use period is: 20 years. The starting date of land use: September of the sixth year of Zhongping."

"Hereby certifies."

……

"Wang Er, take care of yourself."

"This is called a land option certificate. It's a good thing, and it's also the reward I prepared for all the soldiers of the First Army Division this time."

Chapter 4 The Deed Named Land

"What... what, I heard right!"

"Is it land?"

……

"The prefect is going to divide the land for us!!?"

……

I have to say that the soldiers in this era are like children who are still in school. It is useless to say ten or a hundred times about things that they are not interested in, but for things that interest them, as long as Zhang Yan mentions them a little Two sentences, they will hear clearly.

After hearing the word "land" from Wang Er who was called forward, a storm suddenly swept up from the army formation, making bursts of roaring sounds.

……

"Quiet!"

"Give me all peace!"

……

"Look at your appearance, how decent each of you is!"

……

As soon as the noisy discussion caught everyone's attention, those mid-level officers in the Lujiang army immediately stood up, loudly reprimanded the restless soldiers below, and began to work hard to maintain order on the scene.

It can only be seen from their faces that a faint joy—or secret joy, is lingering in their eyes.

……

tension.

Excited.

There may be a slight restlessness.

In the eyes of these soldiers and officers, Zhang Yan clearly felt these distinctive emotions.

But this was already in his expectation.

Or to put it another way, if he gave these people land here today, and these soldiers didn't respond, he would feel that there was something wrong.

He smiled slightly, then took out his big seal from his waist, changed it on the land ownership certificate with a "bang", and then handed the certificate to Wang Er.

"Well, from today onwards, this piece of land is yours. Although it's not big, it's [-] acres... If the years are not bad, it's not a problem to support a family."

"As for whether you want to hand over the land to your family for farming, or say you have no relatives here and entrust this land to the government to take care of it, it's up to you."

"If you farm by yourself, in the next 20 years, you only need to pay agricultural tax and population tax according to the normal regulations, without any other additional costs."

……

"As for entrusting this piece of land to our government, it means that we will find some people to cultivate in a unified way. At that time, you can directly take [-]% of the output of the field, and the tax will be handled by us. You don't need to Additional land tax will be paid.”

……

Seeing that Wang Er still didn't quite understand, Zhang Yan explained to him with a smile.

The other party, on the other hand, swallowed his saliva in disbelief, and stared at the land ownership certificate, which is the so-called "title deed", and was stunned for a long time before knelt down in a panic under the reminder of a group of soldiers , A blush also appeared on the originally rough and sallow face.

……

"Thank you prefect!"

"Thank you prefect for the reward!"

……

If the gold, silver and money guessed by these soldiers before was the limit they could imagine, then Zhang Yan's enfeoffment of the land really exceeded their expectations, and even exceeded the expectations of most of the officers present.

After all, in their cognition, only when they couldn't pay the tax in a disaster year, those aristocratic families took the land from themselves... Has there ever been a time when the government gave them the land?

Not because of anything else, but because of the people at the bottom of society, whether it is the emperor, the government, or those celebrities from aristocratic families, they are all the same in their eyes.

Because the official system in the Qin and Han Dynasties was not enough to support the imperial power or to say that the political power was directly governed by specific people, so in every county, town, and even village, the local aristocratic families and famous elders actually managed the common people in the entire jurisdiction , and then the government collects taxes from them in one go.

The sky is high, the emperor is far away... the sky is high, the emperor is far away!The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away is actually referring to such a somewhat backward but helpless management method.

……

Just like in Europe at the same time, emperors and kings often need to take the blame for the nobles under them. In the past 400 years, the Han government has also taken the blame for these wealthy families.

In the eyes of the people at the bottom, no matter how much these aristocratic families collect when they collect taxes from them, they will all be dubbed "big Han official tax".

This also makes many people who do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, especially illiterate people, when they cannot pay taxes, they subconsciously feel that the emperor is too cruel, and they don't even think about whether it is the old rich of the local landlords.

As a commoner, I took risks to reclaim the cultivated land. During the famine, the land was annexed by the local family, and continued to be reclaimed, and continued to be annexed...until there was no more land that could be safely reclaimed in the safe zone around the city.

This is like a fixed cycle, which always remains in the hearts of the vast majority of people in the Han Dynasty.

They don't know the reason for doing so, it's just that they have no education, so that kind of simple values ​​are not enough to support them to think and resist.

This is also one of the reasons why all farmers and common people regarded land as extremely important until the new China was established after 2000.

Now Zhang Yan distributed land to them...

In other words, Zhang Yan actually distributes land to these soldiers who are at the bottom of society and can hardly survive. This is really beyond the limit of their imagination.

……

Don't say that twenty acres of land is too little, you must know that even in the most prosperous and peak period of the entire Han Dynasty, the per capita arable land area did not exceed fifteen acres, and a family of five or even six members often supported They survived on only fifty or sixty acres of land.

Twenty acres is actually a lot!

Now that Zhang Yan handed over a piece of special cultivated land to him, it undoubtedly made Wang Er's heart stick to Lujiang along with him——

He has been reduced to the point of serving as a soldier, and naturally there is no arable land at home.Now that there is arable land, in the traditional concept of Chinese people, this is his "home".

And with "family", he also has the foundation to "undertake social responsibility" and "get married".

This will undoubtedly significantly enhance the sense of belonging of these former foreign soldiers to Lujiang.

Even to a certain extent, they will fight for Lujiang more heroically than before - because it is also protecting their own property.

And the downside of doing so...

Yes, this actually has certain disadvantages.

Zhang Yan sighed slightly.

The disadvantage of this is that if these soldiers have fertile land in their hands, the reason why many people join the army will not exist...

Compared with before, they have a "back road", and some people even have the kind of situation where they abscond from the army and go home, wanting to live on the land honestly.

And if you want to solve this kind of problem... Zhang Yan's eyes moved slightly.

That naturally requires some other methods.

……

"Okay, okay, get up!"

"Who taught you to kneel when you have nothing to do! Your officer? Or your parents!?"

"It's not fashionable for us in Lujiang to kneel and worship!"

Hehe smiled and pulled Wang Er up from the ground, Zhang Yan collected himself, then looked at the other party's eyes full of joy, and told the other party:

"Don't be too happy too early. This land deed clearly states that the land is not just given to you for free, but from now on, you are only given the right to use it for 20 years. After 20 years, We will recycle this land."

But Wang Er was taken aback when he heard that.

Then, he looked at the land deed in his hand again with some surprise.

Only 20 years after confirming the ownership, his face suddenly collapsed.

……

"This... this this this..."

"Prefect, why is it only 20 years!"

……

"These 20 years... Then what if after 20 years, this land will not belong to me again soon?"

"This is too short. When I die, my son will inherit this land. Before my son dies, this land will be gone!"

"Prefect, it's not that I'm greedy. Can't this time limit be lifted? I promise, I will definitely train hard and fight hard! You can just delete this line, okay?"

……

Some people may think that Wang Er is greedy, but they have to admit that in this era, the "useful life" of land has never appeared in the eyes of the common people.

In their eyes, whoever owns this land belongs to them. When the father dies, the son inherits it, and the son dies and the grandson inherits it... It is precisely because of this that this land is so precious, and it is so valued by the people.

Because as long as you have your own land, even if the land is not fertile, you can still ensure that you and your descendants have no worries about food and clothing, and will not starve to death.

And doesn't Zhang Yan know about this situation?

...Of course he knew!
