Chapter XXV. Agrarian Reform
The most popular thing in the city is the criticism meeting, where countless nobles, large and small, are found out. In their own homes, there are also makeshift platforms.
The people of the Great King City constantly came out to count their sins, and some of these things Yun Xiao knew, and some of them were evil to him. For example, a toddler was buried with mercury for his father. Another example is the spirit of scientific research and exploration, which allows dogs, cows, horses, sheep, etc. to mingle with maids.
"These things are true?" Some things are too weird, and Yun Xiao also feels a little out of the way. Although he single-handedly provoked this vigorous movement, he controlled this movement. He is still very focused, and Yun Xiao knows very well what kind of disaster it will bring if such a movement gets out of control. He didn't want to end up with a ten-year catastrophe.
"Most of it is true, although some are exaggerated but not apocryphal." Dai Yu was tasked by Yunxiao to monitor the movement, and he participated in almost every criticism meeting. He still knows a lot about these things.
Yun Xiao pursed his lips helplessly, what kind of talents are the Jin family. Raise a room full of vicious dogs to execute criminals, break people's bones and starve them to death. Especially the guy named Kim Taek-so, but he is only in his thirties.
Removal of infancy and early childhood. This guy has only been doing evil for more than 20 years, and he can do all kinds of bad things in just over 20 years. Talent, really talent.
Where did the Jin family come from, what background did they have, what kind of occupation they were engaged in, and Yun Xiao was not interested. He only knew that this family was all scum, scum of extremely high purity.
The oppression of one class against another. This is understandable. But if the oppression and persecution have reached this level, and the inhabitants of Dawang City have not yet rebelled. This made Yun Xiao feel a little incredible, and at the same time, he was full of confidence that he could rule the Great King City.
By the standards of Yun Xiao, the inhabitants of these Great Kings are generally living in dire straits. If you can still endure it, then you can rule this land well no matter what.
The Kim dynasty was almost wiped out in Dawangseong, and Kim Chol-so's family was pulled out to criticize. Kim Chol-so, who is seventy years old, is already in his last years, due to the excellent genes in his body. He did no less bad deeds, and countless people came out to testify against the sins he committed.
Kim Chol-so's neck was so broken by the big wooden sign that he couldn't lift it, and he was able to open it after living for such a long time. No matter how you die, it's all death, it's all Kim Eun's kid. In order to be a king for himself. actually sold the entire Jin family. Now it's like this. That kid was also imprisoned in the deep palace compound. Retribution, retribution!
The old guy was in tears, and many people spit on him and didn't hear it. Suddenly, a heart-rending cry woke up Kim Chol-so, whose great-grandson and daughter-in-law were being beaten down by several men. The great-great-grandson, who was less than a year old in his arms, was crying bitterly.
"What are you going to do?" Kim Chol-so roared loudly. How dare these mud-legged people treat their families like this. Although the arms were twisted by two strong men. But there is still some blood in the Jin family.
"What? Hum! You dog aristocrats. I'm going to cut you off today. We will destroy your caste and destroy your seed. A stout man snatched Kim Cheol-so's great-grandson, and after two laps of the child's calf, he fell to a big tree next to him.
"Bang" The child who has not yet fully developed has deflated his little head like a balloon. The slick calves kicked a few times and then stopped. The great-granddaughter-in-law rolled her eyes and fainted. Kim Taek-so's eyes almost cracked, but his body was held down by two strong men.
An old man in his seventies, even if he exerts all his strength. Nor can it be the opponent of two young men with big shoulders and round waists. The two strong men hated him for struggling, and as soon as they used their strength, Kim Cheol-so pressed his mother to his knees.
The heavy wooden sign slammed into the ground with a "bang", and Kim Chol-so's neck also slammed on the edge of the wooden sign.
"Poof" Kim Taek-so spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his snow-white beard was stained with sticky blood, dripping down.
The same thing happened in all the noble mansions of the Great King City, in just three days. The nobles of the Great King City were swept away, and their property was looted. Their children and grandchildren were slaughtered, and their heads were hung in the most prominent places.
The chaos has been going on for three days, and if it continues like this, there will be a tendency to riot. Yun Xiao decisively ordered the bullet pressure and stipulated that no people should be killed at will. It is even more explicit to prohibit mass amateur activities such as criticism meetings. After catching a group of people who took the opportunity to smash and rob, Dawangcheng gradually settled down.
"Master Hou, now the whole city has settled down. Is it time to start distributing the land? "Dai Yu participated in the whole process of the mass movement. In the process, he saw with his own eyes the power of the bare-handed inhabitants.
"Send it, send all the land. Now the weather is getting warmer day by day, and I am afraid that spring sowing will be in another month. People are wrong for a while, and people are wrong for a year. Taking advantage of the fact that the hearts of the people are now settled, the land has been distributed and the people are ready for spring sowing.
At the same time, in the city and outside the city, the villagers elected the mayor and the street chief. There are too few of us to manage ourselves on our own for the time being. At the same time, five families will be convicted, and if one person violates the law, if others do not report it, they will be convicted. ”
"No"
After mobilizing the masses to kill the remnants of the Jin family, the vigorous land reform movement finally had no obstacles. The original land-owning nobles were basically dead and wounded, and only some of the landlords who survived the catastrophe remained. Now he is more active than anyone else, although his own land has also been divided. But it seemed that they were extremely happy, because at least they were alive.
"Don't make any noise. The land was distributed according to the head of the register, and Yunhou promulgated only the will. In the future, taxes will not be levied per capitation, but on land. Therefore, do not expect to take more. If you account for more, you will naturally pay more taxes. When the time comes, you will not be able to pay Yunhou's taxes, and your own tax collectors will come to you. Yunhou's errand is not like the Jin family, which can pass with a little money. ”
The lieutenant chief stood on the ground and shouted to the crowd of people who were pressed by the black. As he spoke, he also looked at the black-armored warriors sent by Yun Xiao from time to time.
"Listen, one acre of land and one hundred catties of rice a year. The second-class rice is 70 catties a year. Fifty catties of rice a year in the third-class thin field. When you have received the land of Yunhou, you will receive the grain of Yunhou.
Now the land is five acres of first-class paddy fields in Park In-yong. ……”
Under the supervision of the warriors of the Yun family, the lieutenant measured the land one by one. Make sure that all the land is distributed to farmers.
Lu Xun once said that the history of China is the history of the landlords. It was nothing more than the landlord surnamed Li, who killed the landlord surnamed Yang. The landlord surnamed Zhao drove away the landlord surnamed Chai, and now the largest landlord on the peninsula is Yun Xiao. The landlord surnamed Yun killed the landlord surnamed Jin.
Yun Xiao took Dai Yu and a group of subordinates to constantly inspect the place. Although Yun Xiao divided the land and collected taxes, the landless peasants and slaves were given their own land. Many of them were also assigned to the houses of the original landlords.
They welcomed Yun Xiao, the Marquis of Yun, from the bottom of their hearts, because having land in those years meant that they could eat well. For thousands of years, countless people have actually lived for one purpose, that is, to have enough to eat, and for farmers, the land is life. Now Yun Xiao has brought them hope to live, and they have no reason not to support Yun Xiao.
"Dai Yu, you understand what I said now. These people are our biggest barrier, and whoever wants to overthrow us and take back the land now, you see if these people will take up arms and fight them. ”
Yun Xiao looked at the crowd of people who came from near and far to welcome him, and said to Dai Yu who was riding on a horse.
"It's still the Hou Ye who is clever, why don't we wipe out the magnates in the Great King City without abandoning a single soldier. Now they have given their land to the peasants, if the one in the palace calls on the peasants to overthrow us. Even if we wanted to, I am afraid that these peasants would tear him to pieces. ”
"It's rare that you can comprehend this layer. However, there are pros and cons to such a movement, and these people are still unaware of the joy of dividing the land. But over time, they will notice. That's when they recognize their own power.
Once these people recognize their power and know how to use it. That's a headache for all rulers. (To be continued......)
