Chapter 110 From now on, happy to live in peace
The people didn't hear much about what kind of things like Lutian Yongye Field, they only knew - the field was divided! And there are a lot of them, and the couple plus a cow must have dozens of acres!
These people trembled with excitement, their faces were full of ecstasy, and some of them even had tears oozing from their eyes. Looking at each other one by one, they all let out a low cry in their mouths, and those men clenched their fists and waved vigorously in front of them, venting their emotions. It is conceivable that if Dong Ce and the others were not here, they would definitely cheer loudly and shout wildly.
Their houses were burned, and their fields were basically abandoned, so even if they could return to their hometowns in the future, it would be the life of tenants for others. And now, it is a turn of the peak, and he can actually settle down here, and he can also divide so many fields.
The couple is dozens of acres of land! The Jade Emperor Rulai Buddha is above, due to years of land annexation, their previous home was only a few acres of land, even if it was too much. It's only about ten acres. Not to mention, the land here is so fertile, far beyond their understanding.
Dong Ce didn't stop them, just smiled slightly, and looked, so that they could enjoy this joy.
It was a long time before he threw another bombshell loudly.
"All the people, each household is given a ploughing ox, a basket, a dustpan, a flat pole, two hoes, a pair of plowshares, and a pair of plough frames" and a > book of "read the novel xstxt". A pair of yokes and two mats. The grain seeds are also distributed together, and you can start plowing the land tomorrow! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the only thing this official can do for you, and it is up to you whether you will be poor or bad, good or bad. The official is looking at you, too! ”
When Dong Ce's decision was spoken, the emotions of the people could no longer be controlled, and they didn't know who was the first to open their mouths, and the people were like they had fried a pot, jumping and jumping on the spot, and their mouths let out crazy cheers. It seems that this is the only way to calm down their hearts that are so excited that they are about to blow up a little.
The people knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed to Dong Ce, and shouted: "Master Xie is very gracious." ”
"Let's repay our kindness for the lord as cattle and horses for the rest of our lives."
"In the future, I will pray for the eldest lord at home and kowtow every day, and the eldest lord will live a long life."
They loudly expressed their praise to Dong Ce, and some people lay on the ground, crying loudly, crying silently.
Dong Ce stood on it fixedly, looking at all this, Shi Jin and the others were quite moved.
Yeluli and Marin walked around not far away with those night scouts, and when they heard the movement over there, their faces were complicated, and they were both envious and full of hope for the future. If the adults are like this to these outcasts, how can they treat them soldiers badly?
After a long while, seeing that the people's emotions were basically vented, Dong Ce began to speak.
"Alright, alright!" Dong Ce clapped his high-fives, attracting everyone's attention, and made a posture of getting up with both hands: "Get up!" Get up, the official still has something to say. ”
His current prestige has reached an incredible level, and the originally chaotic scene suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Dong Ce.
He smiled slightly: "It's to divide the fields for you, and it's to distribute farm tools to you to plough cattle, how many such good things are there in this world, right?" ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Dong Ce suddenly turned his face and said loudly: "So you must also abide by the rules, pay taxes on time, and don't do such things as mistreating the people." ”
"First, all the people left their places of origin and entered the military registration of Fort Rock.
Second, all males between the ages of 15 and 60 will be soldiers of the Rock Fort from this day onwards, and they will practice every day for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening! When practicing, you will have two full meals a day, and you will inevitably see meat.
Third, all fields shall pay four buckets, three liters and five hews of grain per mu, which shall be used to repay the arrears of cattle, grain seeds, and equipment, and shall not be in arrears. ”
Dong Ce's tone suddenly became cold: "You are all people who have suffered, you should know that everything today is not easy to come by, you must cherish it well, and don't realize yourself." If anyone violates the rules set by the official, he will be beheaded, and the fields will be confiscated and driven out, so that he will be left to fend for himself! Do you get it? ”
Dong Ce's last sentence almost roared out, and everyone couldn't help but tremble when they heard it.
They knew how uncomfortable that kind of day was, and after listening to Dong Ce's words, when they thought about wanting to be killed or driven away, they suddenly had great fear in their hearts.
Below they fell to the ground in an uproar, and the people knelt on the ground and loudly said that they would never dare to disobey.
A smile appeared at the corner of Dong Ce's mouth.
One stone is equal to ten buckets, one bucket is equal to ten liters, and one liter is equal to ten he.
At this time, the yield of Shangtian is about one mu and eight buckets, looking at these fertile fields near the left of Panshi Fort, when it can be up and down nine buckets and one stone, Dong Ce levies four buckets, three liters and five he, which is equivalent to the tax rate of ten taxes and five.
Ten taxes and five, this tax rate is not low, not only is it not low, but it can be said to be very high, extremely high! If the court officials knew about it, they would have to scold Dong Ce for being tyrannical, looting the people's fat and ointment, and not being sympathetic to the people. You must know that the tax rate of the Han Dynasty was only thirty taxes and one, and the tax rate in the early period of this dynasty was also thirty taxes and one tax.
However, Dong Ce knew very well that the common people had never been bitter about taxes, but suffering from various showdowns, miscellaneous taxes set up by local officials, and the exploitation and plundering of grain merchants by colluding with the government.
The tax rate of thirty taxes and one stipulated by the imperial court has reached the people's heads, almost to the extent of ten taxes, six or seven, and now between Panshibao and the people, there is no intermediary manager, ten taxes and five is ten taxes and five, and there is no showdown and additional tax, so the tax rate is equivalent to a lot of reduction.
A deep voice suddenly sounded below: "Little capital crime, dare to ask adults, in addition to these, are there any other miscellaneous taxes?" ”
Dong Ce was stunned, and followed the voice to see that it was a young man of about thirty years old, tall and with a pair of bright eyes.
Dong Ce said categorically: "No! ”
"Can I exchange it for silver?"
"Nope!"
"Can there be blackmail among grain merchants, big fights in and small fights out?"
"Nothing!"
"The villain is a capital offense." The young man fell to his knees with his head on the ground.
"What is the sin?" Dong Ce laughed: "Your three questions, good questions, this official also has to say, under this official, which person in charge dares to play with such means, this official will never spare him!" ”
Yelu Lihe didn't know when he had come to Dong Ce's side, and at this moment he came out like a ghost, and shouted coldly: "Those who dare to raise taxes without authorization for personal gain, peel off the skin and fill the grass, and the family will be late!" ”
Then Dong Ce asked Bai Zhongqi to register everyone.
According to statistics, there are a total of 47 households, with 55 males, all of whom are over 13 years old, 71 females, 57 strong women over 13 years old, and 14 under 13 years old.
After registering the name, you can go to the side to receive the ploughing cattle, farm tools and other utensils, and the person in charge of distributing them is Wang Tong, and Shi Jin is staring at it.
Holding ploughing oxen in their hands and farming tools, these people wept excitedly one by one.
These are all visible and tangible hopes, and they are also full of confidence in their future lives.

Early the next morning.
Before dawn, the morning mist shrouded the tall rock fort, and the city walls showed a majestic silhouette in the fog. In the early morning of the late summer and early autumn in the northern land of Jinbei, there was already some chill.
On the north bank of the Hunshui River, on the west bank of the Gan River, in this area between the two rivers, a large area of wild grass on the surface of the land has been burned out, revealing the black-brown land, and the ground is covered with the ashes left by the burning of the land two days ago. This land is very vast, about 1,000 mu in size, and according to the amount of land that Dong Ce divides, it is only enough for twenty or thirty families. But it doesn't matter, anyway, the burning is very fast. In the center of the land, there is an irrigation canal that runs from the Hunshui River to the Gan River in the south-west and north-east directions. By this time the canal had been dug through, but it was shallow and there was no water in it.
At this time, at the edge of this clearing, there were people standing here, and all the people of Rock Fort were gathered here.
At the front is Dong Ce.
Today, he took off the heavy armor that never seemed to leave his body, and wore only a blue cloth robe, but he still held a hoe in his hand.
Today is the day when Panshi Fort officially began to reclaim wasteland and farm, and this day is of great significance to Dong Ce. It means that he has officially had his own territory, his own people, and his own stable output.
This is the foundation of the husband's life and the relationship between heaven and earth.
And for the people under his command, now called military households, this hoe represents the beginning of their good life.
Behind Dong Ce, the black pressure was full of people, holding hoes in their hands, leading the ploughing ox, and looking at Dong Ce at the front with excitement on his face.
"My lord, the hour has come." Wang Tong whispered in Dong Ce's ear.
"Okay."
Dong Ce nodded, strode to the black earth, faced everyone, and said loudly: "Today, my Rock Fort began to open up wasteland and farm, everyone, remember this day!" From now on, live in peace! ”
The crowd cheered loudly: "From now on, live in peace and happiness!" ”
Dong Ce smiled slightly, turned around and symbolically dug a hoe in the ground, and then waved his hand to everyone.
