Indeed, as Xi Shen thought, Zhang Chong and Duman also had concerns about dividing the land.
First of all, the first one is that they don’t have enough people who can write and do calculations.
To allocate land, you must determine how much land each household will receive.
Then you need to take a rope to the field to measure, and then set up boundary stones.
But the problem is that the boundary stones can be moved.
If the number of acres of each field cannot be recorded, and the land is divided and boundary stones are set up during the day, Xue's tribe can move the boundary stones at night, so it doesn't matter if they occupy another three feet for themselves.
But now there are only ten people in the team who can write and do calculations, including the former Xue Jiabi who has taken refuge with him and can read.
But half of them are from the military system, and very few of them can really be used to divide fields.
Therefore, the work pressure during this period was extremely high.
It was he who organized the previous food distribution.
It’s hard to say what to do. Originally, all you have to do is distribute the food, not who you give it to.
So Duman didn't strictly say at the beginning, "Oh, you are a disciple of the Xue family, okay, I'll give you points."
In fact, at that time, as long as you were from the same settlement and you came, you would get points if you completed your degree.
But things started to go wrong within a few days.
Because I learned that someone was distributing food, I walked ten miles at night and brought the entire village to receive food.
This made Duman realize that things couldn't be done this way.
If we continue like this, we will not have enough food, and it will not be conducive for them to continue to lurk in Xuejiabi.
After that, after the original amount of millet has been completed, it will no longer be distributed.
Looking at the shack dwellers who had traveled all night to come here to receive food, they looked disappointed, and some even cursed.
Du was full of shame.
So things are ultimately done, not thought out, and things are not so easy to do.
After dividing the fields this time, Duman and Zhang Chong learned their lesson and began to think carefully.
The plan is to proceed in three steps. First, all the Xue family’s land will be collected to see how much land can be divided in total.
Then determine the households that are eligible for land allocation.
Finally, the land is uniformly distributed according to the fertility of the land.
With Zhang Chong's full support, the matter of marrying Tian has been almost completed in the past few days.
Except for some mountainous areas that are not conducive to reclamation, Xuejiabi has a total of 120 hectares of land, all scattered around Xuejiabi.
But to whom they should be distributed was a problem for Zhang Chong and Duman.
They learned the lesson from the previous grain distribution and believed that the land should not be divided in full, nor should it be divided without compensation.
Full marks will not earn you any gratitude, and unpaid marks will more easily give rise to some unwanted thoughts.
So Zhang Chong's initial plan was to exchange fields for ding.
That is to say, if you want to divide the fields, then send Yiding to join Zhang Chong's team.
In this way, the tribes were divided, and Zhang Chong could expand his team, killing two birds with one stone.
But after Zhang Chong and others actually found out the situation of Xue's tribes, they felt that this matter might be taken for granted.
Nine out of ten members of the Xue family are poor single men. Not to mention mothers-in-law and aunts, not many of them even have brothers.
If we allocate land to these people, they will have no choice but to join the army. If the people are all in the army, what's the point of allocating the land?
What about the Dingkou points for those who have established households?
Another problem arises, that is, they all have small households, and there may only be two men in the family.
When one of them joins the army, it will be doubtful whether the other one can hold the ground among so many poor singles around him.
So, the matter is stuck here.
As a result, Zhang Chong was reflecting on whether he had gone too far and could he just reorganize the team at this stage?
Given the quality of Zhang Chong's current team, they are basically focused on the military. It may indeed be too early to rashly get involved in civil affairs.
Moreover, he has to leave after all. The place is densely populated with powerful people and there is no dense forest to cover it, which is not conducive for the team to lurk.
He had only used this place as a temporary repair place before, so that he could digest all the accumulation during this period.
Now he has a bow at a hundred paces, a crossbow at fifty paces, a halberd at twenty paces, a ring-headed sword at close range, and the art of horn fighting. He also has the kung fu of an enemy of ten thousand people to cross the sword at once. How can it be said that ten swings and ten battles are
explain.
The reason why I'm not leaving now is because my little dad said yesterday that he wanted to bring a message to his dad to see if he could let them go find Zhang Heizi and the others and hide in the mountains first.
Zhang Chong thought this was reliable, and he happened to want someone to go back to pay homage to Big Beard and tell him about joining Taiping Dao.
Therefore, he wrote a letter and asked his father to give it to Ji Dabeard and invite him to come to Xuejiabi for discussion.
Then he asked Wang Zhang to take his little dad back.
Wang Zhang is a steady man and has always been the backbone of his camp. He is also good at sword fighting, so he will never make any mistakes.
Just like that, when Zhang Chong was ready to shrink back, quietly waiting for his father and others to reply, he focused all his energy on training.
In Xue Jiabi's story, something happened that completely changed Zhang Chong's view.
Xue Jiabi's disciples echoed Buqu and were released one after another three days ago and went home.
On this day, Li Dadi welcomed someone to his home.
As soon as this man saw Li Damu who was picking wild vegetables, he started chatting with him:
"Damu, what are you busy with? These wild vegetables are also eaten by humans? Come on, your Master Que has found a job for you. We will take care of it, and it will never be less than this amount."
As he spoke, he stretched out one hand and gestured towards Li Damu.
Li Damu is picking wild vegetables. When the time comes, these vegetables and millet will be stewed in one pot. It will be so fragrant that he will not change the meat for a meal.
At this time, when I heard someone talking, I looked at him and saw that it was a bird, so I ignored him.
This man has always been a profligate kid, doing nothing but doing nothing, so what's there to say to him?
Seeing that Li Damu didn't respond, Que became anxious. He mysteriously touched Da Mu's ear and said:
"Five buckets of millet, you can do this, five buckets of millet, and I'll make sure it's enough."
Since he was idle anyway, Li Damu stopped what he was doing and asked nonchalantly:
"What kind of job? Why don't you just go to work as a grain farmer again? It's not even harvest time yet, so some wealthy family has already mobilized their hands to harvest."
After hearing this, the bird sneered in its heart, as expected, it was destined to dig in the dirt and would not be able to eat even two dishes in this life.
But to do this, we need manpower after all, so we still have to continue to win over.
Que lowered his voice:
"Someone in the wall wants us to make a fuss outside. When the thief named Shi wants to divide the land, we will go and make a fuss.
They don't want us to do anything. As long as we go, we will give five buckets of grain afterwards."
He obviously didn't know Zhang Chong's real name and thought his surname was Shi!
Li Damu was startled and said in a low voice:
"Quie, are you stupid? People want to allocate land to us, why should we make a fuss?
And can the person who asked us to do this be a serious person? I think you should stay out of this matter."
"Li Damu, Li Damu. Why didn't I notice you were so stupid before? Do you really believe that?
In the past, when the Taiping Road came from Dongjun, didn’t it mean that we would pray for the people? But in the end, we were not required to produce millet and cloth to enter the Tao.
I’ve heard that those messengers and handsome men from the Taiping Dao just eat our offerings and get fat. I’m sorry if you ask for help.”
Maybe he was bullied by Taiping Dao. When Taiping Dao was mentioned, the man named Que became particularly excited.
Fortunately, he also knew that he was here to recruit Li Damu to join the gang, so he pulled back:
"And even if you are given land, what can you do? I see, this land is a disaster.
Don’t forget, the Xue family is not dead yet? Now that we have divided their land, can they let us go later?
I think the bandit surnamed Shi will leave sooner or later, leaving those of us who have divided the land. What will be the result?
Have you forgotten that your brother secretly rode the Xue family's horse and was beaten to death?
Now we want the Xue family's land, which is their life, why don't we just crush our bones into ashes?"
"The people in the wall you are talking about? Are they the few who are still alive in the Xue family?"
"Huh? What did you say? When did I tell the Xue family? I mean, this field cannot be divided, let's not get into this trouble."
Que didn't expect Li Damu to be so smart suddenly, so he hurried back in panic.
But Li Damu was still certain that these so-called people inside the wall were just the few dead people who were locked up in the secret room.
Confirming this, he cursed unceremoniously:
"You bitch slave, I wonder why you came to Nai Gong's place today to talk nonsense because of your many senses.
Not to mention just five buckets of millet, but even a thousand bells of millet, the hatred between your grandfather and the Xue family will never be wiped out.
That's it, you still dare to come to Nai Gong and lie to me. If I don't kill you today, get out of here.
Next time, if grandpa sees you talking such nonsense, he will screw your head off. Get out."
Little did Que know that Li Damu would suddenly turn against him. He knew that this man was a fool.
Although he has no martial arts skills, he is very strong and can pull a horse back to frighten him. He is a first-class good man in Xue Jiabi.
Otherwise he wouldn't have come to join him.
At this time, Li Damu looked fierce, and Que was also afraid of this barbaric beast.
But thinking of the benefits promised by that man, he still gritted his teeth and persuaded:
"Damu, don't be anxious. This matter has nothing to do with the Xue family, and there is nothing serious going on here. It's just a commotion.
You can get five bushels of grain by making a fuss. Look at this, I will give you three bushels more to make eight bushels. It’s better than eating bran vegetables here, isn’t it?
Also, I will tell you about an aunt later. Don’t be afraid that you can’t afford to marry her. I will lend it to you when the time comes. Don’t you think you are honest enough?”
It seems that the bird is really "thirsty for talents"!
Talking about my mother-in-law, I immediately caught Li Damu.
Ever since his brother died, he has been looking for an aunt, not only to carry on the family lineage of their Li family, but also to adopt an aunt to inherit his brother's lineage.
It was also good for his brother to have descendants to worship him, so that he wouldn't become a lonely ghost.
Therefore, what Que promised was still very tempting to Li Damu.
But Li Damu will eventually have some luck.
He subconsciously felt that this matter was unreliable, whether it was this bird or whether it was the Xue family's instigation.
Therefore, he still replied cautiously:
"You can find someone else. I can't do this. I don't have much grain at home, so I won't leave you any food. That's it."
After saying that, he pushed the bird and let him go.
While being pushed, Que grabbed Li Damu's hand and kept saying:
"Badousu, marry another aunt. Badousu, marry another aunt."
Li Damu, who spoke bluntly, almost wavered again. He pushed the bird hard.
The bird staggered, but was still unwilling to give in. Before talking, a handful of wild vegetables and soil were stuffed into the bird's mouth.
Que choked and rolled his eyes, knowing that Li Damu couldn't explain it now, so he could only give up with regret.
He put the wild vegetables in his arms, told Li Damu not to go out and make any noise, and then walked back.
As soon as Li Damu saw that the sparrows were gone, he tied the door of his house with a rope and went out.
