Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 74 How Can There Be Strong Buyers and Strong Sellers in the World
Returning from the newly built village outside the city, the sun has already crossed the sky.It's just that although it's already autumn, it's still hot.

After entering the city gate, I walked on the street of Huixian Ya.People on both sides came and went, very lively.Seeing the arrival of Wang Xiaohun and his party, they all gave way to the middle.Some people saluted on the street, and they may have received some kind of favor.

Wang Xiaohun was in a good mood.Although the matter of Xinjian Township is messy, it has finally begun.As long as things start, as long as they go on, they are good.Over time, there will be good results.

At an intersection, a figure suddenly appeared from the crowd on the roadside.When he arrived in front of Wang Xiaohun, he threw himself on the ground.

Wang Xiaohun was startled.This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in the few months I have been in this world.

Looking intently at the person kneeling in front of him, he was a young man in his 20s.He was dressed in a green shirt, with a fair complexion and a very determined expression.

Zhang Jun, who was on the side, saw that Wang Xiaohun didn't speak, and said sternly, "Who are you? How can you stop Zhizhou's way?"

The young man said: "The little people are from Dongfangjia Village, Baofeng City. My surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Mengchen. The family has some property. Last year, the Jin Army smashed Baofeng County. go back to the village."

Zhang Junyi waved his hand: "Which one has the time to listen to your nonsense! Quickly retreat! It's too late to retreat, and I'll hit you with a hundred military sticks!"

Wang Xiaohun said: "You don't have to scare the people. - You blocked my way, are you going to sue?"

Fang Mengchen hurriedly said: "Not bad! Xiaomin is going to sue!"

Wang Xiaohun said: "Looking at your appearance, I think you have read poetry and books before. If you want to file a complaint, you can write a letter and send it to the yamen."

Fang Mengchen said: "Zhizhou said that, he is about to shirk. I have already written a letter, but the yamen will not accept it. I have lived in Baofeng County for three days. "

Seeing that the surrounding people were crowding around, Wang Xiaohun said to Zhang Jun, "I have taken his case and brought him back to the yamen."

Zhang Jun agreed.Dismounting from the horse, he came to Fang Mengchen like a wolf and took his message.Then he reached out and grabbed his collar, lifting it like an eagle catching a chicken.In front of Wang Xiaochun, he handed the middle of his hand up.

Wang Xiaohun gave it a rough look and put it away.He ordered Fang Mengchen to return to the yamen together.

When the surrounding people saw it, they couldn't help but talk about it and say anything.Seeing that Zhang Jun was no longer on the horse, but just followed Fang Mengchen with him, he was a little scared.The good impression of Wang Xiaohun that had just been established these days was suddenly gone.

Wang Xiaohun turned his head and said to Zhang Jun, "I handed this person over to the soldiers for custody, how could this be!"

Zhang Jun sang a promise and handed Fang Mengchen over to his soldiers.Glancing at him, he turned on his horse.

Back at the yamen, Wang Xiaohun ordered Fang Mengchen to be brought to the court, and returned to the yamen to change into the public uniform.

In normal times, such cases would not be tried by Zhizhou.There are managers who join the army and specialize in hearing cases.If there are not many officials in a small state, other officials will also serve as the general manager joining the army.After the manager joined the military for trial, the judiciary joined the military procuratorate, and the judge made a judgment, and the result was signed by Zhizhou and Tongju.Now it is different, Wang Xiaohun is a prefect, and there are no subordinates below, so he can only come by himself.

Sitting down in the middle, Zhang Jun led a few personal soldiers to stand on both sides, which was regarded as a yamen.

Looking at Fang Mengchen below, Wang Xiaohun said: "I saw your situation just now, and said that the property in the family was forcibly taken. What happened? I can tell you in detail. Don't worry, although everything is simple now, to uphold justice for the people, this is what happened. Officers can still do it.”

Fang Mengchen said: "The small family has more than [-] acres of land in this village. All of them were bought from the surrounding area by the ancestors every year, and the land deeds are all there. A few days ago, our family returned to the village from the mountains, but found that More than [-] acres of land have been forcibly bought. Knowing the state officials, how can there be forced buying and selling in this world! Also ask the officials to preside over justice!"

Wang Xiaohun said, "Who bought it? Why did you buy it? Did you give me money?"

Fang Mengchen said: "I heard people say that they are going to build a new village next to our village. My family's land is in the new village. When they bought it, because they couldn't find the owner, they just wrote a contract and bought it. When I went to find it, the local officials only gave me the contract, saying that the land would be paid in several years. The land was bought by my ancestors with hard work, how can I make it happen!”

After listening to Wang Xiaohun, he took out Fang Mengchen's case and read it carefully.Putting the letter down, Wang Xiao hunted, "It's my idea to build a new village, and no one can shirk it. Your letter is unclear, no wonder no one accepts it."

Fang Mengchen said, "What do you mean by Zhizhou officials? It turns out that officials want to buy my land?"

Wang Xiaohun said: "I didn't buy it, it was the government that wanted to buy it. You are right, it was decided at the time, and if the owner's land could not be found, the contract was written first, and the price was set according to the market price. Within ten years, the owner will come back, This contract is still valid. If it is not returned for ten years, then it will be over. Because of the military disaster, the market price of the land is not high, so there is no way. You have more than [-] acres of land, which is estimated to be less than [-]. It’s just that things are difficult now. , Although this is not a lot of money, it is difficult for the government to take it out. It has to be divided into several years and paid back little by little.”

Fang Mengchen listened and looked around.Reaching out his hand, he said to Wang Xiao, "Knowing state officials, there is no reason to buy or sell by force in this world! Those fields were handed down from my ancestors, and passed down from generation to generation to descendants, how could it be broken in my hands!"

Wang Xiaohun said, "Are you in charge of your family now?"

Fang Mengchen said: "My father is still there. Of course, my father is in charge. It's just that my father is unwell after returning from the refuge."

Wang Xiaohun nodded: "I see. Your family's more than [-] acres of land is considered to be a rural household. Without the more than [-] acres of land, you will not be hungry. As for the money you should get for selling the land. , said that it will be given to you in a few years, and it will definitely give you-"

Hearing this, Fang Mengchen's neck froze: "But Zhizhou officials, this land is handed down by my ancestors, and I will never sell it!"

Wang Xiaohun listened and shook his head lightly: "It's the same whether you are willing to sell it or not. This is the decision of the government, and the common people must sell it. If you really don't want to, then you have to be wronged. Jin Jun Nian Nian Coming from the south, the people are scattered and life is ruined. We should find a way. Building new villages and people living together is the way I came up with it. Whichever suffers a loss and which makes a profit, we have to settle for our destiny.”

Fang Mengchen sneered: "I am a good law-abiding citizen, so why should I suffer this loss? In the world, how can there be such a truth! In the world, where can there be parents like Zhizhou! If you don't make decisions for the people, how can Zhizhou be worthy of the people!"

Wang Xiaohun said: "Before I came to Ruzhou, there were strongmen everywhere, killing people and committing crimes. In a dozen days, except for one or two strongmen, Ruzhou can be said to live and work in peace and contentment. Of course I am worthy of the people. As for making decisions for the people. Let the people be fed and clothed first, and their lives will be worry-free, and then talk about other things. The current affairs are like this, when the country is destroyed, of course some people will suffer some losses—”

"Why is my family at a loss!" Fang Mengchen's eyes burst into flames, staring at Wang Xiaohun.

Wang Xiaohun said: "Why does your family suffer? Ha, in the entire Ruzhou, there are a few families that don't have a loss! I think you are a scholar, so you should know the truth. At this time, the first priority is to protect the family. The country, there is no way for you to suffer some losses. Not to mention, the government gave money to buy your land. Although it is divided into several years, the money is not for you. Let me tell the truth, if you change it Zhizhou, why are you telling you that here? Who will say anything after being beaten with a stick?"

Fang Mengchen just sneered: "I don't know how many unscrupulous officials in this world. Knowing what the state has to do, what can we ordinary people do?"

Wang Xiaohun said: "That's right. I don't want to be an unscrupulous official, and I only want to care for the people, so I tell you so much. In the world of buying and selling things, one is always willing to buy, and the other is willing to sell. But many At times, it can’t be done. The government bought your family’s fields, not for me, nor for anyone, but for the people—”

"People? Ah, it's funny!"

Wang Xiaohun smiled: "Why, you don't believe it's for the common people?"

"Of course I don't believe it! Even in Baofeng County, there is still a lot of wasteland, so I have to buy my family's land!"

Wang Xiaohun looked at Fang Mengchen with a rebellious look.The kinder his attitude is, the more arrogant his Qi Yan will be.Zhang Jun, who was next to him, had a face full of anger, and the iron rod in his hand kept hitting the ground.

After calming down for a while, Wang Xiaohun said, "Although you roared in the court, made rude words, and made many mistakes, I don't blame you. Originally doing these things, there should be an official who will explain to you why this is so. After the words are clear, you can do it again. If this is the case, then you will be punished. It’s just that in these extraordinary times, there is no magistrate under Ruzhou’s rule. Where can officials come from to do this? You can only feel sorry for yourself.”

Fang Mengchen listened and said coldly, "Why is my family being wronged?"

Wang Xiaohun said, "Which one said that only your family suffers from this grievance?"

Fang Mengchen said: "Is there a second one?"

Wang Xiaohun said: "Baofeng and Jiaxian have thousands of homes, how could they only buy your land? With so many people, you are the only one who went to the county to stop me from driving! It's nothing to say that you are narrow-minded. If you say that only your family is like this, then you are talking nonsense!"

Hearing this, Fang Mengchen just clenched his neck and didn't speak.

Wang Xiaohun said: "I've made this clear to you. The situation is like this, and there is no way out. You can understand it best, but if you can't understand it, you can only suffer some grievances. When things are difficult in this country, it is inevitable. Let’s leave the case you filed today. I will issue a notice to tell the people in the territory what is going on, and don’t let people guess.”

After speaking, Fang Mengchen did not speak.Wang Xiaohun waved his hand and asked Zhang Jun to take the person out.
