According to statistics, there are more than 30,000 households in Lishu County, with more than 180,000 people. The total area of the bottomless garden measured by the second battalion is more than 200,000 mu, plus the land confiscated from some small landlords in Lishu County is also 780,000 mu, adding up to almost 300,000 mu. But it's barely enough for two acres of land for everyone in Lishu County. For a tenant who has no spare talent in the family, two acres of land is definitely a huge wealth.

On the day of the end of the population and land statistics, Hu Shiheng and Lin Hu met. After exchanging views with each other, the vigorous Lishu County Land Divide Movement began. The provincial government team headed by Hu Shiheng posted notices and personnel propaganda throughout the county, and set to hold a land distribution campaign in the bottomless garden area on August 1 of the Gregorian calendar.

"The Jilin Provincial Government decreed that the land owned by the government in the bottomless garden area was distributed according to household registration, two acres per person, and the ownership of these lands belonged to the Jilin Provincial Government, but the farmers who obtained the land had the right to use it. Moreover, in view of the situation of the land, the provincial government has made a special commitment that the government will not levy any fees for five years after the land is acquired. All income from the land goes to the peasants who cultivate the land. And the provincial government protects all the proceeds from the land it cultivates. After five years, the land was levied on 20 percent of the grain according to its output, and no matter what happened, the rate of the grain collection remained the same. ”

As soon as this decree came out, the entire Lishu County collectively lost its voice. The small landlords who had lost their land wailed and wept, and the tenants who had no land rejoiced. Bai Mancang seemed to have expected something, but because he didn't want to be hostile to Feng Yong, he chose to watch from the sidelines for the time being.

The White Head Manor, in the hall of the White Warehouse.

"Master Hu, what do you mean by this? If you do this, I'm afraid that all my tenants will run away, and who will cultivate the huge land you let me? Bai Mancang said dissatisfiedly to Hu Shiheng, who was happy.

"Oh, my white official! How could you think that? In today's China, three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged humans are not yet grasping a handful. I heard that there is a famine in the Guannai, and there are countless hungry people, and I think it is not easy for you to get a group of people with the ability of the white officials. And because of the famine, those hungry people will probably be able to eat without paying any rent or the like, and they will not save money than these tenants under your command. I'm also doing this for the good of the white officials. ”

Bai Mancang was stunned for a moment, he had also heard of the famine in the Guannai, and he also knew about it from a grain buyer from Siping. Unexpectedly, Hu Shiheng's news was also well-informed.

"But now that the grain is about to ripen, I'm afraid it's too late to recruit new people if I want to!" Bai Mancang thought for a moment and said.

"Master Bai, we divided the land just to complete the tasks assigned above. But it didn't say that these people weren't allowed to work for you! Didn't they still rent your land? I'm afraid they won't let go until the grain is harvested! Therefore, this land division is definitely not a bad thing. ”

Bai Mancang's eyes rolled, and he didn't say anything in the end, the two of them talked about some other things, Hu Shiheng saw that Bai Mancang was not interested, so he took the initiative to leave.

"Master, what does this Master Hu mean, is he one of our people? I was confused by him. Bai An said with a frown.

"Master Ben can't figure it out either. Since this Lord Hu accepted our bribe, he will always help us with something. But you can't count on them entirely. Bai An, arrange for the brothers to all go on the day they divide the land. In any case, we are also from Lishu County, and you deserve a share of the land in Lishu County. Bai Mancang squinted his eyes, as if he had thought of some bad idea.

Bai An was overjoyed when he heard this, and he got two acres of land for nothing, so who was unwilling.

"Thank you, master, when the time comes, the younger one will definitely bring all the brothers with him, and grab more for the master."

Bai Mancang smiled. He took out hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland. I don't care about the fact that my subordinates get it back. He just wanted to know what the hell Hu Shiheng and Lin Hu were doing. After the first banquet for them, they took hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland from their own hands, and no matter how they thought about it afterwards, they felt that there was a taste of conspiracy. But I can't think of what it is.

"Bai An, after you go, keep an eye on Master Ben, and if there are any rumors that are unfavorable to Master Ben, inform Master Ben immediately." Bai An nodded yes, bowed and retreated.

"Hu Shiheng, Lin Hu, you'd better not do any tricks, this master is not a vegetarian."

On the first of August, several high platforms were erected in a vacant lot in front of the bottomless garden. Since the dawn of the day, the villagers of Lishu County have felt it one after another. Quietly waited on the side under the maintenance of the soldiers of the second battalion.

On the third pole of the day, almost all the people of Lishu County came. More than 100,000 people are simply a large area of black oppression. The whole crowd surrounded the highest platform. Hu Shiheng and Lin Hu sat on it.

"Fellow villagers of Lishu County, I am Hu Shiheng, the leader of the team sent to Lishu County by the Jilin Provincial Government. After the liberation of Lishu County by our provincial government, thanks to the great help of the local squire Bai Mancang Bai Daguan, I am willing to take out the land of the bottomless garden to support the government's land work. In order to distribute these lands to the hands of the elders and villagers more quickly, and to prevent some ill-thinking people from falsely reporting the population, we are implementing real-name registration today. That is to come and distribute a man's land. If there is a duplicate claim, his land will be disqualified. Those who do not come today, or leave early, will be deprived of land use qualifications. Do you see the thirty high platforms there? Register on those platforms, then wait in the middle on the right and wait until everyone is registered before you can go home. With a wave of his hand, the crowd flocked to the thirty platforms.

"Old Hu, although your statistical method has avoided confusion, it is too much of a waste of time. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in one day! Lin Hu said with a frown.

"Camp Commander Lin, don't worry. Things are not as slow as you think, the people are just receiving the nameplate we have formulated, and the land has already been divided. I promise that the task will be completed before dark. Hu Shiheng said confidently.

Because of today's land distribution conference, the entire county seat of Lishu County has become an empty city in an instant. The crowd that used to hang out on the street disappeared, the shops were closed, and the entire county seat of Lishu County was quiet.

Whitehead Manor, backyard.

"Master, master, no, there was a runaway slave in our family, and I didn't see a single slave all day today." Mrs. Bai, who looked old, ran out in a panic.

"What's the panic, Master Ben knows. They were sent to work by Master Ben. It won't be long before I can be back. You don't stay in the inner room, and you come out in a panic. Bai Mancang's reprimand made Mrs. Bai extremely aggrieved and returned to the inner room.

After taking a sip of tea and suppressing the anger in his heart, Bai Mancang said to himself: "How can I have an ominous premonition, nothing will happen!" Maybe it was the crow's mouth, but as soon as he finished speaking, Kuang Tang screamed, and the gate of the red pine wood was smashed alive.

Bai Mancang's face changed greatly. Now that all the minions under his command have gone to Hu Shiheng's land distribution conference, there is no defense power at home.

"Brothers, rob Lao Tzu! This Bai Mancang is a famous landowner in Jinan, and there is no guard at home, so he deserves to make Lao Tzu rich today. You're welcome, kill someone, and take away everything else that can be taken. ”

Bai Mancang's face turned pale, and during this time, his eyes were completely focused on the team sent by Feng Yong, forgetting the root cause of the turmoil in Jilin Province - bandits.

"It's over, the Bai family is over, and the wealth accumulated over a hundred years has accidentally fallen into the hands of bandits. No, I can't let them find out, I still have a lot of land, and I can still save up if my wealth is gone, and if my life is gone, there will really be nothing. Thinking of this, Bai Mancang's footsteps became as fast as he could be.

Secret Dao, this ultimate life-saving thing, how could Bai Mancang, who has always been cautious, have not. Rushing directly into the main house in the backyard, Mrs. Bai, who had already heard the howl of the bandits, was frightened, and hid in bed with her little son, who was only five or six years old, shivering.

"Sir...... Master, what's wrong! Madame Bai stammered.

"Madam, hurry up and pack up the gold and silver, the bandits are coming. We escaped through the secret passages. Bai Mancang said with an ugly face.

"Dirt...... Bandits, how can this be? "Madame Bai's face is pale, and her legs are a little unable to walk. Bai Mancang looked at his trembling wife, his face was angry, and he slapped his wife his old face, which became more and more ugly the more he looked at it.

"Slut, don't you hurry up, do you want to die?" Under Bai Mancang's hideous face, Mrs. Bai trembled and took out a small jewelry box. Bai Mancang snatched the jewelry box and pushed open the wardrobe in the room, and a small door appeared behind the wall. Madame Bai looked at this small door in surprise, this house has lived in itself for at least decades, and she didn't even know that there was another door here.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't you leave quickly!" Bai Mancang pushed open the door first and walked in. After Mrs. Bai went in with the child, Bai Mancang pulled the mechanism inside, and the wardrobe outside slowly closed. The whole room returned to a deathly quiet.

There are very few families left in the whole Baitou Villa, and everyone is crazy when they hear that they can get two acres of land for free, and with two acres of land, as long as they work hard, it is not a problem to eat well. In addition, Bai Mancang deliberately wanted to make trouble for Hu Shiheng, so he sent everyone out. He didn't expect the bandits to hit his attention at this time.

It was getting dark, and the land distribution in the Bottomless Garden area was about to be completed. All those who got the nameplate of the land gathered together to discuss the speed and quantity of the land in the hands of the people themselves.

"Look, how can there be fire in the county?" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed man in the crowd said.

"There is indeed a fire, and the direction seems to be Baekdu Mountain Villa. It is the home of the white officials. ”

"Oh my God, what a fire!"

"Nothing will happen, will it?"

“……”

Everyone looked at the county seat with a lot of discussion. Yes, it's firelight, and it's fire. Feng Yong and Lin Hu's faces changed drastically. If there is an accident in the county, the two of them are very responsible.

"One row, assemble back to the county seat." Lin Hu shouted. At this time, it is still in charge of what land is allocated. Hu Shiheng also stood up quickly.

"Folks who have already got the land nameplate should go back first! The rest is up to speed! After speaking, Hu Shiheng walked off the high platform with a gloomy face, leaving an entourage to deal with the affairs here, and he quickly returned to the county seat with the crowd.
