Wang Ju is also making final preparations.

He first called dozens of commanders together, even if the Baojie army was greedy, but in this drain work, these commanders were not bad.

Of course, it also depends on who takes the lead.

Wang Ju instructed the sergeant to slaughter a few fat sheep, then brought soju and said, "It is soju, but it is not the kind of soju that rubs wounds, and it must be specially made, and it cannot be drunk." Don't underestimate it, it is said that on the side of the divination, a fat sheep can only be exchanged for two or three catties of soju. ”

"So expensive?" Some of the instructors said.

In fact, just like Hou Ke drinking real roasted tea, some people are used to it, and some people are not used to it.

However, when Wang Ju said this, he thought it was a good thing.

Everyone drank soju and ate roast mutton, but Wang Ju changed it to a small cup, which also restricted everyone from drinking too much.

Drinking wine and eating meat is a party, but there must be important things to explain at this meeting.

That's the measurement of the field.

If it was as simple as measuring the fields and dividing the fields, it would be easy, but there would be a lot of trouble in the future. Therefore, Wang Ju made a big move this time, and he and Cheng Fang each led 20 battalions of officers and soldiers, divided into 20 brigades, and each brigade was divided into five squads with the capital as a unit, and then the battalion was again divided into prisoners of war and officers and soldiers who learned to measure the acres of land, and each battalion was allocated four or five people.

Wang Ju taught them Arabic numerals, which may be difficult for those who are literate to accept for a while, but for these illiterate soldiers, it is easier to learn. Even if it is not too difficult to calculate, it is just a simple addition, subtraction and multiplication, and it is rarely used.

In fact, the main thing is to calculate the area formula of various shapes, but it is also a simple area formula. If there are really some oddly shaped fields with interlaced canine teeth, then fold them.

In fact, if it were not a dispute, although there were a lot of fields, Wang Ju actually sent the officers and soldiers of the 41st Battalion to measure it, which was a bit of a knife to slaughter chickens.

But the reality is that so many people are measuring, and there may be such and such problems.

So Wang Ju must explain in advance.

In such a vast area, it is necessary to allocate the area measured by each brigade, and assign it to the vicinity of the original canal they used to build, so that they can familiarize themselves.

There is also Wang Ju's compensation, this has to be made clear, the headache is that there are a lot of people and land, not together, but it has nothing to do with the teams, Wang Ju took Huang Liang and Tao Qing to copy it, and it was okay to compensate according to Wang Ju's instructions.

In addition, there are the people who repair the canals, which is the real compensation, and the exchange of labor for arable land, which must be written more clearly.

In order to write the small account books in the hands of each commander clearly, Wang Ju also deliberately selected dozens of sergeants who could read and settle accounts from each battalion to come over to assist.

Don't look at this booklet, it also makes Wang Jukeng suffer, for more than half a year, he hasn't written a word in his middle math book, and he has tinkered with it every night.

It is also necessary to try to move out a concentrated area as much as possible, as the future Yongye field of the sergeants, these sergeants have very few soldiers, mainly the Baojie army, which is mobilized in wartime and trained in leisure time, so each battalion cannot be dispersed, and some warehouses and training schools must also be built.

Finally, it is the handling of some unexpected situations encountered during the measurement and allocation.

Hou Ke drank wine and muttered, "Twenty thousand people divide the field." ”

In fact, the fields of ordinary people are well divided, and the sergeants are equally well divided, after all, they still have subsidies from the imperial court.

Some small and medium-sized households have not hidden the field, then there is no problem, even if the hidden field, as long as it is not too hidden, this time Wang Ju does not really plan to deduct much on their heads, it is estimated that there will be some trouble, but the problem is not big.

Those who have set up a large number of major households, the same is not a big problem.

The difficulty is in a small number of people, several counties, many such as Jingyang, this year Jingyang benefited the most, of course, there may be about eighty or ninety households, of which there are more than 20 households that are particularly difficult, and there are only about 20 households in the few, but the total is only about 200 households, but they have a lot of land in their hands, which can reach more than 2,000 hectares, and the hidden fields are very powerful.

But even now, Wang Ju still hasn't revealed how to deal with these difficult households.

After Wang Ju finished explaining, he asked the commanders to eat and chat, and then called Hou Ke aside, and the two jointly wrote a recital.

That is, in the irrigated area, once the cultivated land is allocated, it is not allowed to buy and sell.

Why, let's look at Han Qi's three stabs, the target is the main household, many laborers are also the main household, and the tax is also levied according to the amount of arable land in the family.

Therefore, many poor households bring land into tenants, that is, negotiate with the main household privately, give the main household a small amount of rent a year, and then divide the acres of land under the name of the main household.

Therefore, the imperial court was unable to complete the arrest of Ding, so regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, it was arrested, and some extremely poor households such as eight or nine were also arrested to be righteous and brave, or to be errands.

Some of the owners were greedy and directly ate the farmland with tenants, causing lawsuits.

In fact, if the hidden fields of the Song Dynasty are not rectified, there will be a great crisis, not more than two million hectares of cultivated land, among these registered cultivated land, including the official fields such as Xuetian and Tuntian, and the cultivated land of official households, in addition to the cultivated land of female households (no male families), martyrs, temples, and official households, they do not need to pay taxes.

And this system has also caused countless lawsuits over farmland, such as Peng Yuanwai, if his farmland is placed in the name of his nephew, he will not have to pay taxes, but why not? Don't dare, what if you eat it?

Not to mention uncles and nephews, even brothers also encroach on each other's cultivated fields!

Even Wang Ju has dealt with dozens of lawsuits over farmland in Huachi County on the border, not to mention Zheng Baiqu.

So Wang Ju set history backwards and restored the initiative of the early Tang Dynasty to make these irrigated fields together as Yongye Fields, which are your personal and will be inherited by your descendants after death, but they are not allowed to be bought and sold, even if you sell your family or so much land, you still have to pay so much tax a year! The same is true of the soldiers' fields, which the court did not allow them to pay taxes, but they themselves were not allowed to sell their farmland. Even if it was sold, the imperial court would not recognize the legitimacy of the transaction.

If they are doing business outside and they are really unable to do business, they are allowed to let outsiders rent seeds, but they are not allowed to buy or sell.

This was a retrogressive practice, and even though the Tang Dynasty enforced this law, it did not prevent the annexation of cultivated land.

However, if you block it, it can drag on for thirty or forty years. In the past thirty or forty years, if the Song Dynasty had not been able to make the Western Xia more or less complete, the crisis came. At that time, it didn't matter if it was sold or not!

Because the irrigation area reaches eight counties, the imperial court must agree.

The two of them wrote the song and sent it to the capital on a fast horse.

The outside commanders continued to drink, and some talked about dividing the fields.

It wasn't Wang Ju who gave the fields in the booklet to each commander, and that still can't be said to be a secret.

They were talking about the battalions being able to get land this year.

There will be about 40 battalions of officers and soldiers who can be assigned to the field, in fact, most of the Baojie army hometowns also have arable land, but most of the sergeants have a small amount of arable land, but the land is also thin, really good people, can they still be assigned to the Baojie army? If you can send it to Porge, it will also catch a head or something instructed.

Therefore, if that battalion can be assigned to the land first, the families of the sergeants of that battalion will have a good life.

Most of the commanders may not expect their share of the cultivated land, of course, something is better than nothing, but their families will be happy if they have no food and clothing. This is one of the most important fundamentals of morale, without morale, if you go to the battlefield, it will be sent to death, and the more you are afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster you will die.

"It's a good idea, but it's not going to take long." Hou Ke said.

"That is, in fact, it is equivalent to the original government soldier system of the Tang Dynasty, as for whether it will occupy a long time, I don't expect it to occupy a long time."

"Why?"

"Now that the official family is working hard, if there is no way to solve it in Western Xia in the past few decades, then as Lao Tzu said, prosperity must decline, even if the next few generations of people continue to maintain, over time, everyone will not have hope......"

Let's not talk about the rest of it, at that time the Song Dynasty began to officially go into decline.

Hou Ke scratched his head and said, "Do your duty, Zi'an, there are still a few days to start." ”

"You can't delay it, and it will be a mistake to delay winter wheat any longer."

"Is there no other way than yours?"

"Hou Zhixian, what other good way can you come up with?"

Hou Ke was at a loss, the fact fell into Wang Ju's rhythm from the beginning, and he didn't check the hidden field and the actual number of acres at the beginning, where else can he think of at this time?

"The old man is not worried about anything else, but about Zi'an's own future, after all, I am based on generosity......"

"Hou Zhixian, don't say it, I don't talk about others, just say you, it can be regarded as having political achievements, and it can be regarded as generous, why is it only this official position so far? As for the generosity that the ministers in the court said was just an excuse to suppress their opponents, which one do you think can be lenient? ”

"Sima Gong."

Wang Ju almost squirted out the tea, this old boy, it seems that he will buy people's hearts, he swallowed the tea, and said: "I only say one thing, Wang Guangyuan, this person is the old man of the first emperor's mansion, and the first emperor is gracious, so after the first emperor ascended the throne, he proposed a relatively noble idle position, but it is not an important position." This kind of self-interest can be justified, right? ”

"That's not going to work either."

"Okay, even if that doesn't work, let me ask again, how many incompetent officials does the imperial court raise?"

"This ......"

"Why is Sima Gong only staring at Wang Guangyuan as an official? That's it, Wang Guangyuan depreciates Qizhou, what crime did he commit? No, why didn't Sima Guang even give him the qualification to wear a chapter uniform. It's a petty official like us, and we can't help but give the chapter uniform. Why did Wang Guangyuan leave the capital, and the official family mourned in the ban? Isn't it just that the official family is young and easy to bully? Is this called loyalty? ”

Also, Wang Ju can cite seven or eight examples, and there is no need for that.

Hou Ke was at a loss again. Sima Guang can't be regarded as generous, let alone other ministers who are decisive, or scheming, or have a big mouth, or are ruthless.

Wang Ju patted Lao Hou on the shoulder and said, "Hou Zhixian, if you are really generous, then like you, stay in the place for the rest of your life." ”

…………

"I've seen Lieutenant Envoy Zhang," the four officials chanted.

This Zhang Zhongenvoy is the little eunuch Zhang Maoze, the confidant of the Empress Dowager Cao, and the Empress Dowager Cao and Zhang Mao who said when Zhao Zhen went crazy wanted to harm him were this little eunuch, but now he is the big eunuch. Then let Zhao Zhen be assigned to Chang'an to serve as the commander of the Yongxing Army.

The insiders and outsiders in the palace don't know, but Zhao Zhen and the Empress Dowager Cao are not in harmony, which can be seen, not only is this crazy, but also how Zhao Zhen treats the people of the Cao family, or Zhao Zhen compares Zhang Guifei's family with the Cao family.

Of course, another page in history.

As soon as Zhao Zhen died, everything in the Zhang family became a thing of the past, and the background was insufficient. So Zhang Mao was transferred back to the palace and is now transferred to the deputy governor.

This shows that the palace attaches great importance to Zheng Baiqu, not necessarily Zhao Ji, but the two queen mothers!

That's why this great eunuch was sent.

"No need, let's get ready to open a ditch."

"Right now." Wang Judao.

The head of the ditch was also dug, and Wang Ju began to let the sergeants and civilians come up.

Then two battalions of officers and men were ordered to stand on the pontoon bridge.

Originally, Wang Ju planned to use a boat to pull mud bags, but because of the early completion time, the water potential of Jingshui was still huge and the drop was large.

So Wang Ju changed his mind and erected a pontoon bridge on wooden stakes, and the man stood on the pontoon bridge, dragged the mud bag up with a rope, opened the mouth of the ditch, and let water in.

Human life is at stake, this is a festive day, and it is always a bit bad to have a human life.

The soldiers dragged bags of mud up and carried them to the shore, and on either side stood many onlookers, some of whom looked curiously at the strange stone pond at the head of the canal, but they quickly withdrew their gaze.

Bags of mud were dragged up and transported to the shore.

Water began to rush into the canal.

"Come on," the crowd cheered in unison.

The water went in more and more, because there was a drop, and it hit the bottom of the canal, making a loud noise, but this sound sounded to the ears of the people like a heavenly sound.

At this moment, Wang Ju shouted: "Quickly retreat, withdraw from the pontoon bridge." ”R1152
