After counting, the total amount of money was 11,400 yuan, which greatly exceeded Yang Ming's expectations.
It seems that Wen Yi is a smart man, and Yang Ming likes to deal with smart people.
I originally planned to move out of the farmland under Wen Yi's name and settle the settlement with him, but now it seems that I might as well wait until Wen Yi gets fatter and it's not too late to go under the knife.
The twenty Qinggong land has also been returned, and the county government has someone to take over it.
As for the additional eleven thousand guan, Yang Ming pretended to have three tricks and asked Murong Sanzang to take it back to the treasury.
How could Murong Sanzang dare to collect the account that someone wanted back based on his ability? How could it be returned to the treasury?
So he quickly refused, claiming that the county government office did not have such accounts and he could not account for the sudden extra money.
Wen Yi's twenty-dollar account is a black account and is not included in the open account. The black account is black money, and black money can only be used as black money.
The money in the treasury is equal to the money in the treasury. No matter it is less or more, you must explain the reason clearly and the account details must be clear. If you are unclear, you are guilty of negligence.
In this case, Yang Ming no longer insisted, but asked for the small change to be sent to Murong Sanzang's residence.
Xu Jing originally only asked the county governor for a hundred servants, but the Yamen sent 300 men.
Many of them have never had a full meal in their lives, so these days the Governor's Mansion has enough food for their esophagus, and each of them has a round belly after eating. Several of them could only leave the Governor's Mansion crying because they were too full to digest.
.
So where have all these fields gone? Who is exploiting them layer by layer?
Yuan Wendu received the order and left happily.
Simply appalling.
So this kind of thing can only be done slowly and one by one.
"Inform your people, please don't use force again. The civilians don't know whether these farmers are real or fake. If they see you getting into a fight with each other, they may be frightened and be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. The situation will inevitably escalate."
Ordinary people are very simple and easily deceived. If the publicity is not in place, He Chou's investigation in Zhijiang County will inevitably encounter greater resistance.
So sad.
If the people in the Jingzhou area are like this, Yang Ming will have to deal with some people better.
Xu Jing also spoke with these workers under Yang Ming's instruction and found out how many acres of land they had in their names.
Yang Ming was stunned and said: "How many families do you have?"
This is just a small family, a small family that doesn't stand out.
According to the equal land system, men are allocated 60 acres of open land and women are allocated 40 acres. In other words, a couple can receive 100 acres of open land.
If there is a boy over fifteen years old in the family, add 60 acres; if there are two boys, add 120 acres.
"A woman actually has only one home in her life, and that is her husband's home, because her husband and children live there. As for her natal home, it is just a place where she lived temporarily when she was young. I will not be included in the genealogy, and my name will only be related to mine a hundred years later.
The husband’s name is engraved on the inscription together.”
Looking back now, I am too optimistic.
At this time, Yang Yinjiang spoke:
Yang Yinjiang smiled and said calmly:
"I agree," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile, "That's why I like you."
But Wen Hui didn't think so. He believed that he still had someone to rely on, and that was the Han Palace.
So Yang Ming said: "Send a message to Hechou, suspend the inventory, and ask them to go to Zhijiang County Government to say hello, and order the county magistrate to issue a notice and spread it to the villages, saying that the general manager's office is inventorying the acres, and the problematic acres in each township are inspected.
Leave it to each township to redistribute the land to the people."
How many aristocratic families are there in Jiangling County? How many people in the government are exploiting people's land?
But Yang Ming knew in his heart that even though he was the king of the county, it would not be easy to liquidate the clans in the Jiangling area.
When Yang Ming was still living in the palace, he heard Yang Jian and his wife talking about this matter.
As long as the reinforcements who can drag them to the Han Palace arrive, this matter can be solved.
Don't confess your love. Yang Ming changed the subject and said, "You've been away from the capital for so long, don't you miss home?"
As soon as they left, word spread about Yang Ming's kindness to workers.
It was May, and Jiangling County was extremely hot and stuffy. It had not rained for many days.
In particular, she would always stand in Yang Ming's perspective and think about Yang Ming.
But the actual situation is that these workers, that is, ordinary people, have very few acres of land under their names, with more than a dozen acres and only three to five acres.
In any case, Wen Yi had seen strong winds and waves. When he followed Yang Liang to the north to conquer Goguryeo, he met a big man. From then on, his words and deeds have been imitating this big man.
Life is yours, and if you don't cherish it, there's nothing I can do about it.
Wen Hui and others planned to send out all the servants in the mansion to pretend to be farmers and prevent the group of people from checking the fields in the general manager's office, dragging them out day by day.
Yang Ming lay on the rocking chair and frowned: "Farmer?"
Yuan Wendu said: "It's probably not a real farmer. I guess it's probably people sent by the Wen family pretending to be farmers to obstruct the investigation."
As a result, this inquiry shocked Yang Ming.
If you have two men and a woman in your family, you will have to pay a tax of 1,300 pounds. This is just a family of three.
Daily necessities, medical treatment, house repairs and roof tiles
Are you still alive?
Ordinary farmers will not go against the officers and soldiers. Even if they are oppressed again, they will only endure it. Besides, it is a good thing for farmers to check their fields, so they will definitely not stop them.
Ding men pay an annual rent of 3 shi. One stone is equivalent to about 100 kilograms, which is 300 kilograms. When converted into "tuned" cloth, another 200 kilograms will be deducted, which means that a Ding man has to pay a tax of 500 kilograms a year.
After paying the money, Yang Ming did not embarrass Wen Yi anymore, and after scolding him for a few words, he let him go.
If you don't accept it, people won't treat you as one of their own.
That big shot was the then marching marshal Chang Shi, Gao Qiao.
When the couple talked about the equalization of land, they looked proud, because at this time the granaries of the Sui Dynasty were full and the national treasury was getting richer, far exceeding that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty. And the couple naively thought that the 80 acres of open air above Ding Nan's head was covered by layers of land.
After the exploitation, at least half should be put into practice.
"The one engraved on the inscription is the first wife," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Yinjiang came closer, looked at Yang Ming's face repeatedly, and said playfully:
Jingzhou area is mostly filled with rice fields, and the average yield per mu is 160 kilograms. Calculated based on ten acres, it is 1,600 kilograms per year.
If he really pushes these aristocratic families into a hurry, he might cause big trouble.
It's not like the inspector who comes over to check and pat his butt and then leaves.
During the Great Sui Dynasty, men aged between 20 and 60 were required to do corvee work for 20 days each year. According to the workers in the General Administration Office, they did corvee work for two months every year, and during the rest of the time, they had to find ways to work to make a living.
As soon as Wen Yi returned home, he was surrounded by other members of the Wen family, asking about the situation.
Wen Yi had escaped the disaster for the time being. Seeing that he could not dissuade these tribesmen, he had no choice but to do so.
Construction of the warehouse of the General Administration has begun.
At present, the Wen family is divided into four branches, Wenhui counts as one branch, Wen Zheng counts as one branch, Wen Yi counts as one branch, and Wen Jing counts as one branch.
I dare not say that we can allocate them the entire acre of land according to the system, but they should have at least half.
"Which home?" Yang Yinjiang asked with a sly look.
Yang Ming was enjoying the shade under a willow tree in the back garden, and beside him was Yang Yinjiang.
"Not yet, but if this continues, casualties are inevitable," Yuan Wendu said.
The group of people sent by Yuan Wendu traveled back and forth among ten counties, which was very laborious.
Yang Ming also thought at the beginning that if you continued to exploit me, you would have to leave some food rations for your subordinates to survive. A family with ten acres of land would not be able to survive.
Yang Ming sent someone to call Yuan Wendu to inquire about the progress of the inventory of Wen's fields.
"How did you do it, come up with this idea in such a short time? Your reaction was too fast."
It is not an easy task to keep an inventory of farmland. Wen’s farmland is distributed in ten counties around Jiangling, among which Songzi County, his hometown, has the most.
After another ten days, the new treasury was completed. After the workers kowtowed in the direction of Yang Ming's dormitory to thank them, they received some extra reward money and left reluctantly.
As for other people, they have the same idea as him.
Yang Ming asked again: "Are there any casualties?"
Although less than half of them have been investigated so far, Yuan Wendu has roughly estimated from the clues that the four branches of the Wen family have at least 4,600 acres of land, which is 406,000 acres.
There is also an old man who is not married and is the only one in his family. He has ten acres of open air in his name. The reason why he has ten acres is because Xiang is his cousin. Without this relationship, he would not even have ten acres.
Yang Ming pointed to his head and said with a smile: "My brain works well."
At this time, Yuan Wen arrived,
"He Chou and the others have already gone to Zhijiang County, but things are not going well. Some local farmers are obstructing the inspection, and they have had several conflicts with He Chou's people."
In this way, anyone who obstructs the investigation will be in trouble with the local people, and they will be chased away by the people without even having to take action.
What could he say?
"It's a blessing to be able to save the body after such an unexpected incident. I advise you to make preparations in advance."
Yuan Wendu was stunned and praised: "This is a brilliant plan."
One of them, a husband and wife plus three adult sons, had a total of only 18 acres of land, which according to the standard should be 280 acres.
Although he is a bit like a tiger, he cannot be compared to a dog, but he has seen the world for sure.
This is why Yang Ming likes Yang Yinjiang. This girl is not only smart as ice and snow, but also has general knowledge.
This time, Murong Sanzang did not refuse. Although it was not a big sum of money and he did not care about it, he knew in his heart that the money must be accepted.
Therefore, Wen Yi could see it more clearly than other clan members, and knew that it would be better to fight against the little prince of the Governor's Palace and have him beat him up than to lose his life.
If we send out patrols every year to check things, we can see improvements.
What's more, the county government office has already returned 20 acres of land. With these fields, the government office will be able to make more revenue this year, and all government officials will have a prosperous year.
The warehouse is in the inner garden, so twenty guards will be responsible for guarding these workers so as not to disturb the female relatives in the mansion.
Yang Yinjiang didn't take it seriously: "The world is constantly changing and life's opportunities are unpredictable. How do you know that I will not be your legal wife in the future?"
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Your surname is Yang, and my surname is Yang."
"Then I'll change my last name," Yang Yinjiang said directly without thinking.
Yang Ming looked stunned and said: "You are cruel enough!"
