Chapter 768: The Expected Conflict
Not only that, but the next day, the barracks of various states and localities were mobilized, and the Chijin army entered the city, even in the village, there were also 100-strong Chijin troops stationed in the village, forming a deterrent and high-pressure posture without affecting the people to the greatest extent.
Another day passed, and the officials of the household departments in various places were also in place one after another, and the regulations on land change were officially posted and implemented.
That is, from the day when the proclamation was posted, the ownership of all the land under the rule of the Holy Dynasty was not in the hands of the people, but all belonged to the government and belonged to the unified management of the household department.
Of course, for the time being, it is only a nominal and legal belonging, and the land is still in the hands of those landlords, but the horror of the law lies in the fact that it must not be regarded as a 'form', nor is it definitely not a blank sheet of paper, it is a system and norm.
After the notice was posted, it really caused a huge shock, and for ordinary people who did not have land, this matter naturally had little impact, after all, whether the ownership of the land belonged to the government or was still in the hands of those landlords, it did not matter to them, and it would not have anything to do with them anyway.
But then, when the detailed charter for the agrarian reform came out, the people became excited.
Because the government promised to buy back the land, it would distribute the fertile land according to the household registration of each locality, and renting silver was much, much cheaper than renting from the landlord.
This naturally made the poor people cheer.
But some people are happy, and some people are sad, not only sad, but also angry.
Those big landlords, after seeing the content of this change, simply felt that the sky was about to fall, and the ownership of the fields that had been passed down from their ancestors for generations was actually returned to the government overnight, and this alone was enough to crush all their emotions.
Fortunately, the government made it very clear that this is only ownership, and the government will not forcibly take back the land, that is, whose it should be, or whose own.
In a large landlord's family in a certain county, the head of the family was drinking tea, but his wives and concubines couldn't sit still, and began to cry and howl.
"The government deceives people too much, our family's land, that is all passed down from the grandfather's grandfather's generation, how many years of family property, how many generations of hard work, was actually by the government a piece of paper, overnight to others? Why? The government can bully people like this? Our family also has officials, master, uncle is an official in the city government, look for him at this time. An obese woman stepped forward and said.
Looking at this woman's appearance, there is no doubt that she must be a wife, after all, the others are all beautiful and moon-like, who will look for a concubine like this?
The old man of the family looked indifferent, and said: "What's the hurry, what's the panic? The government has posted a notice, but so what? They don't dare to really come and snatch our land, what are they afraid of?"
Although he said this, everyone could see that this old man was pretending to be calm, as the largest landlord in the county, he was not a fool who didn't understand anything, a big family, and learned a lot of things, more knowledgeable than most people, and also had insight and courage.
In the past, there was talk of land reform, but it was thunder and no rain, and it passed quickly, and no one took it seriously, but this time it was obviously different.
The government is playing real this time.
Let's just say that the 100-strong Red Gold Army who came in yesterday saw bad seedlings.
This is obviously afraid of people making trouble, so I have prepared for prevention and preparation in advance, if I don't want to play really, why do I need to do this?
He has seen the new policies of the government, and there are special people who have studied them, and it can be said that each one is extremely detailed, which is very different from the previous decrees, so this time the government is indeed not joking, but really intends to use the knife.
But even so, the master felt that this thing would definitely not be done in the end.
Because now almost all the land in the Holy Dynasty is in the hands of some big families, this situation has lasted for thousands of years, how can it be changed overnight?
What's more, although the official document of the government says that the land rights have been vested in the government, they will not be forcibly expropriated, that is, the current land use rights still belong to them, so it is better to ignore them. The only trouble was that the government actually said that it wanted to buy back the land and distribute it to the people who had no land, and the rent was very small, only 20% of the rent they gave to other tenants.
That's the trouble, and if those mud legs use this to make a price, it's really a trouble.
But it's better to ignore it.
"I still don't believe it, the land is in our hands, can they still snatch it?"
It's just that in just two days, various decrees have been announced, and people from the government have come to inform them, and this time, the landlord is a little panicked.
Because the government wants to count the amount of land in the name of each family, every household, or even every person.
According to the new law, under one household, the maximum amount of land cannot exceed 100 acres, which is mandatory, and the government will buy back the excess amount in the form of gold and silver letters, which is not negotiable, and even if there is only 100 acres of land, it will be charged several times the current tax every year.
Seeing this, this 'calm' landlord couldn't calm down.
"The official forces the people to rebel, this is the official forcing the people to rebel. He angrily slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground and smashed it, this is not counting, he knows very well that if this bill is implemented, it is equivalent to uprooting the foundation that their family has accumulated for hundreds of years.
No, definitely not.
And what is that gold and silver letter, not real money, just a few blank pieces of paper, and he wants to take back the hundreds of acres of fertile land in his hand?
When pigs fly.
This landlord is going crazy, in fact, not only him, but his wives and concubines are also jumping on the street to scold their mothers, especially his wife, the rather fierce woman, who is already carrying a kitchen knife and preparing to go to the official talisman to ask for an explanation.
This time, the landlord did not stop him.
Not only did he not stop him, but he also asked all his family members, and several other large landlords in the county, to go to the government with the elderly and children to discuss the law.
These big landlords are all big families, and the whole family goes into battle, and there must be one or two hundred people, which can be regarded as a mighty man, even crying and scolding, and just running to the county government.
The county government's county order is already bigger than two, to be honest, in this matter, he can only honestly implement the decree, first, this is his own job, is his own business, second, the county government has the imperial history to watch, there is the household commissioner in charge, he does not dare to do anything.
Hearing that the big landlords in the county began to bring people to make trouble, the county magistrate knew that it was a matter of time, and he had already guessed that it would be abnormal not to make trouble.
To say that these landlords in the county, he can't afford to provoke a small county order on weekdays, and almost all of them have relatives who are officials, and the official positions are bigger than themselves, of course, this does not dare to provoke, so on weekdays, there is no less wretched by that nest, at this moment to see the landlords are deflated, the county order is actually a little excited and relieved.
In his opinion, more than eighty percent of the harvest and benefits in the county are accounted for by these large landlords, these people, who are the masters who eat people and do not spit out bones, did not expect to have today.
If you want to say that you are afraid, it must be some, but the county order also has confidence.
In the county, there are 100 Chijin troops, and with these soldiers, who dares to make a mistake?
Those big landlords are definitely going to be deflated.
After waiting for a while, those people came, and they cried at the gate of the county government, called their fathers and mothers, and scolded, and some, the scolding was called an ugly one, and the scholars stopped, and they could only sigh secretly.
The county commander thought about it and decided not to go out, but it was not a way to hide, those people began to rush into the county government, and later the Chijin army arrived, which restrained a little, but he still shouted for him to go out to confront the county commander and explain things clearly.
The county magistrate knew that he couldn't let these people mess around, so he could only dress up and step out.
Outside, dozens of Chijin soldiers were murderously guarding the door, and on the opposite side were big landlords, shouting and scolding.
Seeing the county order come out, a fat and tall woman carried a kitchen knife and scolded: "The surname Guo, you finally came out, your government bullied us like this? Our land is handed down by our ancestors, and your government will accept it when it says it, this is not a way to live, surnamed Guo, you make it clear to me, why do you want to take our land? Anyway, I don't care, no one wants to touch our land, otherwise I will fight with you." ”
This wielded a kitchen knife and her mouth was full of foul language.
Guo Xianling's face turned white, after all, he was a dignified official of the Holy Dynasty, and he was insulted by this shrew on the street, and anyone would be furious.
But to be honest, he really can't afford to provoke the other party on weekdays, and in the other party's family, someone is an official in the city government, and his official position is one level higher than his own, so he can't afford to provoke him.
But after thinking about it, what was wrong with performing his official duties? Moreover, it was Lord Chu of the Shoufu Pavilion in Jingzhou who carried out this change, and when he thought of this, he felt a lot more confident.
At that moment, Guo County's order took out his official talisman and roared: "The official family is important, no noise, and it is not quiet!"
This sound was roared with official skills, and it was quite powerful, and it immediately suppressed the crying and scolding on the other side, and even calmed the other party.
On weekdays, although Guo County's order is elegant and elegant, it really starts a fire, and it really has an official authority.
The woman on the other side was startled, and subconsciously stopped, but when she reacted, she was immediately annoyed and angry: "Okay, your surname is Guo, you are bold, you dare to talk to us like this, you think you are an official, it is great, my uncle is also an official, and he is also an official in the city government, from the sixth grade, it is one level higher than your seven-grade sesame official, you have the ability, wait for our uncle to come back and show the old lady a majestic one." ”
Guo Xianling's face sank, he did know that these big landlords had more or less official backgrounds, either there were officials in the family, or there were officials among their relatives, in short, none of them were ordinary people. But so what, behind him is the household department, the Lord Chu, and the entire holy dynasty, so why be afraid?
