Zhe Yanzhi left the next day. As the time gradually arrived in mid-December, another heavy snowfall swept through Guanzhong. Jingzhao City was filled with a world of ice and snow. The New Year was getting closer and closer, and every household posted door signs.
, making rice cakes and brewing Tusu wine, everyone is immersed in the atmosphere of the approaching New Year.
It was a holiday. It was still snowing outside, but the room was as warm as spring. Chen Qing was playing with his one-year-old daughter Xueer in the study room. Xueer was very naughty. She climbed up and down Chen Qing's body without any formality.
, in the words of her mother Lu Xiu, it is the same as when she was a child.
My son Chen Ji is very stable. The three-year-old is not naughty and sits quietly painting beside me. He likes calligraphy and painting.
At this time, Lu Xiu walked in, picked up her daughter and said with a smile: "Little guy, please stop making trouble, your father is busy!"
The little guy hugged his father's neck from behind and refused to leave. Chen Qing smiled and said, "Today is a day off, so we can play a little longer."
"Ah Ying and Ah Lian are looking for you! It seems that something happened to them and they were very excited."
"Let them come here and I'll ask what's going on?"
Lu Xiu walked to the door and told the maid, who hurried away. Not long after, the Yu sisters hurried over and performed the Wanfu ceremony together.
Chen Qingxiao asked: "Madam, what happened to you?"
Yu Lian hurriedly said: "Actually, it wasn't me who met her, but my maid Dongxiang. She just went out to buy makeup. When she came back, she said that there were many people kneeling in front of the government office. They were all old people. Ah Ying and I ran to see
Yes, many people are kneeling down, and the soldiers are trying to persuade them to leave."
Chen Qing was startled and asked: "How many people are there?"
"There are at least fifty or sixty people, all old people."
Chen Qing frowned, handed his daughter to Lu Xiu, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Husband, let the soldiers go and take a look! It's still snowing outside!"
"There's no need to look for soldiers. It's very close anyway. I'll go take a look."
Chen Qing felt very uncomfortable. Dozens of old people were kneeling in the snow. Could it be that there were such great injustices under his rule?
.........
The snow was falling heavily, and the sky and the earth were covered in gray. Chen Qing led dozens of soldiers to the Xuanfu Envoy Siguan Yamen, but saw Jiang Yanxian explaining something to the soldiers, and there was no old man on the ground.
Chen Qing stepped forward and saw many footprints on the ground, as well as traces of people who had knelt down. At this time, Jiang Yan stepped forward and said: "I have just received the news and came here. It is said that there are a group of old people who have been kneeling here since dawn."
.”
"Where are they?"
"I asked the soldiers to take them to the inn opposite to rest, and they were only willing to go if I promised them free accommodation."
"Why are they kneeling here?"
Jiang Yan shook his head first, "It seems to be a grievance, related to land. I haven't had time to ask for details."
Chen Qing frowned. What he was most worried about was related to the land, and it turned out to be true.
“Go and see!”
Chen Qing walked to the inn under the escort of dozens of soldiers. The inn was diagonally opposite, about a hundred steps away. It was a government-run inn, covering an area of ten acres. Generally, officials from other counties would stay when they came to Jingzhao to do business.
here.
Of course the shopkeeper knew Chen Qing and Jiang Yanxian, so he quickly invited them to sit in the living room.
"There was a group of old people just now, are they still there?"
"We are still there. There are fifty-four people in total. The villain has arranged for them to stay."
Chen Qing nodded, "Go and bring some leaders over, and try not to disturb the others."
"The villain understands!"
The shopkeeper left in a hurry, and not long after, he brought three old men over. The old man obviously knew Chen Qing's identity. When he walked into the living room, he knelt down and kowtowed, "I pay my respects to the prince!"
"Please sit down!"
The shopkeeper brought some small stools for them to sit on.
Jiang Yan first said: "If you have any grievances, just say them as they are. Don't have any worries."
"Hey! If we had concerns, we wouldn't come here to file a complaint. We've been forced to do nothing."
Chen Qing whispered a few instructions to a soldier, who immediately turned around and left.
Chen Qing nodded, "Please continue!"
"We are from Heyang County, Tongzhou. We all fled to Bashu before, and then we came back one after another, only to find that our land had been occupied by others. Some people we didn't know said that the land belonged to them and that the government But we also had the land deed. We were so angry that we went to court, but we actually lost. It was so unjust, why should the land that our ancestors had owned for generations become someone else's?"
Chen Qing thought of what he encountered in Xinping County, Pizhou when he came back. Could it be another consequence of the reclamation order he issued?
Jiang Yanxian whispered: "I feel that this may be the result of the pseudo-Qi order to recruit people."
Chen Qing immediately understood that the Jin soldiers entered Guanzhong, causing numerous casualties among the people, and a large number of people fled to Guanzhong. In order to provide food for the Jin soldiers, the puppet Qi State recruited a large number of peasants from northern Shaanxi and went south, and re-applied deeds for them.
The old title deeds are still there, and new title deeds are issued. Of course, conflicts will intensify.
At this time, Zhang Miao hurried over, cupping his fists and saying, "The prince is looking for me?"
Chen Qing nodded, recounted what had just happened, and added: "The Supervision Department took over this matter and asked them one by one to see if their demands were the same, and then went to Tongzhou to investigate."
"I understand."
Chen Qing then said to Jiang Yanxian: "Let them settle down first and tell them that this problem must be solved for them."
"Please rest assured, Prince, I will make arrangements for you."
Chen Qing comforted the three old men for a few more words, then got up and returned home.
When Chen Qing returned to the mansion, he felt really annoyed. He paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his hands. He believed that there were many similar cases. The Puppet Qi moved millions of people from northern Shaanxi to fill Guanzhong. As Guanzhong became more and more prosperous, , this kind of land dispute will definitely break out on a large scale.
How to solve it?
At this time, Chen Qingruo felt something. When he turned around, he saw Zhao Qiaoyun coming in with a cup of tea.
Chen Qing's eyes lit up and he quickly smiled and said: "My daughter Zhuge is here, hurry up and think of a solution for me."
Zhao Qiaoyun pouted and said, "Sister asked me to deliver tea, so I knew something must be wrong."
Chen Qing quickly pulled her to sit down and said, "He who can do the hard work, who will help me if you don't help me?"
"My husband is a prince, and there are many people who want to help!"
After saying this, Zhao Qiaoyun still sat down and said, "Let's talk! What's the matter?"
Chen Qing told what happened today. Zhao Qiaoyun thought for a moment and said, "This is not the first time. It happened in November last year."
"Last August?"
Chen Qing frowned, "Why don't I have any impression at all?"
"This incident was mixed into a major case of armed fighting. Basically, it was just a sentence. It is normal for the husband to have no memory. It happened in Fufeng County. I remember it very clearly. There was a collective armed fight between two villages to compete for land. The cause was one hundred The ownership of the multiple acres of land is unclear, and two families have title deeds, one is from northern Shaanxi and the other is from Guanzhong."
"How did you solve it later?" Chen Qing asked anxiously.
"The magistrate of Fufeng County divided more than 100 acres of land into two, and the two families divided it equally, and there was no trouble after that."
Chen Qing nodded, "Is this a good idea?"
Zhao Qiaoyun shook his head, "Actually, I added several more methods after that document, but I guess my husband didn't even read it."
Chen Qing was a little embarrassed, "I may have too many things to do and have forgotten. Madam, you might as well talk about it again."
Zhao Qiaoyun liked her husband to call her Niangzi the most. When she was called Niangzi, she became elated. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The solution! It's actually very simple. Use official land to compensate. There are a lot of unowned farmland, which have become official land. As long as If the other party's land deed is authentic, then we can use official land of the same area to compensate and cancel the original land deed. The details will be considered by the magistrate. The second way is to compensate with money. To put it bluntly, we are wiping the fake Qi's butt, but there is nothing we can do. We are all civilians, and we must recognize that the land obtained by farmers in northern Shaanxi is legal."
"They are all good ideas."
Zhao Qiaoyun added: "But I want to remind you, husband. Dozens of old men came to Jingzhao to complain. The matter may not be that simple. There must be someone behind the scenes who can advise them and organize them."
