Chapter 24 Replacement of Title Deed

The old craftsman entered the study and saw Zhang Zongxian practicing calligraphy there. He immediately saluted Zhang Zongxian.

"The common people pay homage to the county magistrate"

"Lao Liutou is here, sit down and talk."

"If you don't dare, Xiaomin, just stand still."

"You sit down if I ask you to." Liu Jianhu was afraid of staining the study chair, so he squatted half-squat and looked like he was sitting on it, but his buttocks were actually hanging in the air. Zhang Zongxian was helpless when he saw him sitting like this. Such class differences in feudal society

It's not something people can ignore if they have money.

"Old Liutou needs to speed up the construction of this firecracker! And when will I be allowed to test the squatting tiger cannon?"

"All the craftsmen in the county dare not stop and work for six hours every day. There is really no manpower left."

"You are reluctant to hire people, right? If there is a shortage of craftsmen, go and hire them. There are many good young men in the village who want to hire more apprentices. It's just a matter of a meal."

"My lord, all the craftsmen in the county who can do it are working with us. The apprentice is not good at it. It will take him several years to get started."

"Old Liutou, you are too short-sighted! If there are no more people in this county, can't we go to other counties to recruit? It's just to help them pay the annual service fee. Besides, as for the apprentice, are you just going to work for this year? My officer told me

But in the future, these guns will be made not for one or two thousand, but for tens of thousands."

"The common people are stupid and the common people will arrange to recruit people when they go back."

"Not only do we need to recruit people, but we also need to expand the workshop and add equipment. If you don't have enough money, you can go to the bank I opened for a loan. The interest rate is very low. I will also purchase a large amount of farm tools here in the future. If you can't produce it by then, I will

Just give the order to someone else.”

"Young people will not disappoint the county magistrate. We will recruit people to expand the workshop when we return."

"How is the research on spring steel going? When will the Tiger Crouching Cannon start testing?"

"Several types have been researched and are being trial-produced. The Tiger Crouching Cannon is being manufactured and will be ready for trial use in a few days."

"Hurry up, I have taught you so many methods, have you used them in production? Also, how do you pay the craftsmen, and do you price them by the piece as I said. Don't be reluctant to pay, if you can't keep up

At my pace, I will have to find someone else."

"Please rest assured that I will follow the instructions given by the County Lord when I return home. The remaining one hundred fire cannons will be made for the County Lord in half a month, and the five tiger squatting cannons will be built for the County Lord in half a month. If I can't make them,

Good fellows will stay in that workshop."

"It's pretty much the same, but you can't cut corners. If you fail to pass the inspection, it's a trivial matter to lose money."

After beating the old willow head, Zhang Zongxian went to school to continue teaching. Now Zhang Zongxian does less exercise at night and is busy until late every day. He not only has to teach students but also organizes the fish scale book. The plan is to start giving food after the autumn harvest.

The people reapplied for the land deeds. Now that the autumn harvest has ended, they are waiting for the fish scale book to be compiled and compared with the land deeds in the people's hands for confirmation.

After three days of busy work, I finally finished sorting out the fish scale book, and now I can start re-establishing the title deed.

Before re-establishing the land deed, Zhang Zongxian first held a mobilization meeting for the people of the county government. It was determined that the village chief would take people to the government office to handle the process on a village basis. Because the fixed tax must also be written on the land deed, the land deed and fish scales

The comparison of the registration records is very important. This time, the application will be processed first for landowners with less than 100 acres. After these people have completed the application, they will be processed for landowners with more than 100 acres.

The purpose of this is to further investigate the hidden land. Smart people will report their hidden land. After paying five years of back taxes and publishing it for 7 days, if there is no objection, the title deed will be given. I still want to hide it and wait for the update.

After the land deed is completed, the extra land on the fish scale book will be confiscated by the Yamen.

The specific processing procedures have also been determined. First, they will be led by the liangzhang to queue up at the gate of the yamen. During the queue, someone will keep explaining the latest tax policy of the yamen and how to change the land title. These explanations are all handled by the deputy of each house.

When the queue reaches that village, the village head will lead people into the county government hall, and the household will check the authenticity of the land deed. If there is no problem with the land deed, four of Zhang Zongxian's disciples will come and compare the fish scale book and the land deed with the people in the household. No.

If there was a problem, the land deed was rewritten and stamped with a big seal on the spot. Zhang Zongxian solved the problem on the spot and clarified the case. He did not recognize the clan's public land, and it belonged to whoever was willing to pay taxes for five years.

The land deed replacement was not very smooth at first. Most of the people were illiterate and had to confirm the size of the land repeatedly before they recognized the size of the land. Zhang Zongxian was also constantly deciding the case in the lobby. For the disputed land, whoever paid the tax would be counted.

Also, when the clan members heard that those who did not recognize their clan land came to the county government to cause trouble, Zhang Zongxian was imprisoned and starved for two days before being released. The common people approved of this change of land deeds, and were even more concerned about the fixed tax and corvee tied to the land.

I support it with both hands. Zhang Zongxian also took the trouble to repeatedly emphasize this tax policy. I believe that from now on, it will be impossible for those upright officials to distribute taxes as randomly as before.

In this way, one village after another was dealt with, and by the way, the few Li Zheng who oppressed the people the most were sent to prison. During this period, Huang Shilang met with Zhang Zongxian, and in order to stabilize him, Zhang Zongxian directly changed the land deeds given to Huang Shilang.

He turned a blind eye to the land he devoured, and put all the people who wanted to sue him into prison cells.

Zhang Zongxian was not so polite to other gentry. The lands originally under their names were separated one after another, causing them to lose a large part of their income. Several came to the county government to cause trouble and were threatened by Zhang Zongxian to have their titles revoked. One was even arrested

Yunong arranged for someone to break his leg in the street. Only then did those who opposed the move stop.

Just when Zhang Zongxian thought that the land title replacement would be completed soon.

Yu Nong's spy who arranged to enter Huang Shilang's house suddenly came to report. Huang Shilang and his people were forcing the people near Letangbao to sell their land to him at a low price. He told the nearby villagers that the county magistrate and he were brothers and the ones who sued him.

They were all imprisoned by the county magistrate. He asked nearby villagers to sell their land to him within a time limit, otherwise the families of those who refused to sell their land would be ruined.

Zhang Zongxian smashed the table on the spot after hearing Yu Nong's report. The official reputation he had finally accumulated was ruined by Huang Shilang. He couldn't wait for the training of the new army to be completed, so he had to kill Huang Shilang now. And he had to kill him cleanly.

Otherwise, it would be a problem for him to escape outside the border wall.

Although there are many thugs in Huang Shilang's army, they are all rogues and have no choice but to flee against the new army. But if they rely on the high wall of Letang Fort to resist, the new army will suffer heavy losses. This new army will be expanded by Zhang Zongxian in the future.

The seeds must not be lost to the strong men in the countryside. We must find a way to directly enter the fort and then attack.

Zhang Zongxian thought for a long time and suddenly thought of the complainants who were still in jail. Maybe they could help him.

Immediately, he took Yunong to the prison to see how the families who had complained were doing.

Although Zhang Zongxian had specifically told them to be detained in prison, the jailers did not dare to make things difficult for these people.

Zhang Zongxian entered the dark and damp cell. The prisons he passed along the way all held criminal Li Zheng. When Li Zheng saw Zhang Zongxian coming, he was still shouting that he was wronged. Zhang Zongxian looked at these corrupt dogs with disgust and disdain. Keep walking inside.

The jailer took Zhang Zongxian to the cell where the complainants were held. The civilians were lying bored. When they saw someone coming, they got up and climbed onto the wooden bars of the prison.

Zhang Zongxian felt very guilty when he saw these people. Although he was not a good person, he was not a pure bad person either. He could not bully the weak yet. What he originally wanted to do was wait for the new army to be fully trained. To deal with Huang Shilang, the common people who complained were locked up first. This could be regarded as protecting them from Huang Shilang's revenge.

I thought about killing Huang Shilang and then compensate them. I didn't expect that Huang Shilang was so greedy that he wanted all the nearby land. He could not be allowed to continue to persecute the people. Otherwise, the reputation he had built so hard would be ruined by him.

Facing the people imprisoned inside, Zhang Zongxian bent down and saluted and said: "I'm sorry, folks, I, as a parent official, did something wrong and made everyone suffer." The people in the prison were also stunned. This was the first time there was an official. Apologize to them. They can only stand there not knowing why.

Zhang Zongxian finished his salute and continued, "It's my fault as an official. I originally wanted to wait until the county soldiers were trained and formed an army, and then I would kill Huang Shilang, a beast. In order to stabilize him and prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I had to lock everyone up here. That's right." In order to prevent Huang Shilang from taking revenge on everyone.

I never thought that Huang Shilang was so crazy that he would forcefully buy people's fields in my name. I have made up my mind and will not indulge this hungry tiger anymore. I will kill Huang Shilang tomorrow.

But this army has just been established for two months, and Huang Shilang is in that high-walled courtyard. It is not easy to destroy him. If we attack Letang Fort by force, it will easily hurt the innocent people in the fort. If you heroes can help me After the official kills Huang Shilang, I will reward each of you with five acres of farmland."

As soon as they heard that they were given five acres of land, the people in the prison became excited. They kept saying, "We are willing to help the county magistrate." My wife, I must kill this thief."

Seeing that the people were so loyal and brave, Zhang Zongxian informed them of the plan.

First, Zhang Zongxian will let them out and ask them to contact and mobilize the people in the villages near Lechangbao. They will surround Lechangbao early tomorrow morning and force Huang Shilang not to go out to grab land. In this way, Huang Shilang will definitely ask the county government for help, and then Zhang Zongxian will He personally led his troops to pretend to rescue Huang Shilang.

When we arrived at Lechang Fort, we first entered the fort in the name of support, and then cooperated with the inside and outside to capture Lechang Fort. If any civilians were killed or injured during the siege, Zhang Zongxian promised that all compensation would be borne by the county government. Once Lechang Fort was breached, Huang Shilang The occupied land will also be returned to the people.

Zhang Zongxian repeatedly emphasized that the people must be mobilized quickly and not give Huang Shilang a chance to react.

After seeing that everyone understood, Zhang Zongxian asked Yu Nong to arrange for the people to be released secretly out of the city. Then he asked Yu Nong to mobilize his informants and go to the village near Lechangbao to agitate the people. After explaining to Yu Nong, Zhang Zongxian went to the military camp.
