Sheng Fu

Chapter 661: It’s messy but organized

The north, the land of Bazhou.

After Bai Xiaowei arrived, His Highness Bei Wang seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Bai Xiaowei's official residence is located on Xuanwu Street, not far from the Helian family. It is in the most prosperous place in the center of Bazhou. Roads extend in all directions. You can reach the Helian family mansion in less than half a stick of incense time on foot.

The once giant in the north has lost its majesty in front of this temporary Prime Minister's Palace.

Although the Northern King also had a Northern Palace, it was not located in Bazhou in order to avoid suspicion. The arrival of Bai Xiaowei forced the young Northern King to return to live in the Helian family, and he often entered Bai Xiaowei's mansion to report the regulations. .

In the mansion, Bai Xiaowei lazily leaned on a chair. Behind the chair, there was a map of the northern mountains and rivers. Bai Xiaowei was already familiar with the northern land. In the past years, when he was not an official, he traveled in the northern land. , mountains, rivers and lakes, not only I know it clearly in my mind, but I have also written down 70% to 80% of it.

Bai Xiaowei knew exactly where to build water conservancy projects and where to open up wasteland for farming.

At this moment, a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a dark green official uniform, entered the mansion, crossed the central hall, came to the back courtyard, and came outside Bai Xiaowei's study.

His name is Zong Liang, and he is Bai Xiaowei's confidant. In Bai Xiaowei's mansion, he is Bai Xiaowei's right-hand man. When he walks out of Bai Xiaowei's mansion, he is the deputy prime minister.

Before he raised his hand to knock on the door, Zong Liang felt a soft spring breeze, the door opened, and Bai Xiaowei was drinking tea inside.

Bai Xiaowei nodded slightly, and Zong Liang entered the study slowly. There was a piece of copywriting between him and Bai Xiaowei. Zong Liang stood and took out a folding book from his small sleeve.

"The specific situation is like this." Zong Liang said with his hands bowed.

Bai Xiaowei poured tea for Zong Liang with his left hand, and opened the fold with his right hand and started reading.

Zong Liang controlled his breathing rhythm as much as possible, not wanting his breathing to be too loud and disturbing the Prime Minister's thoughts. However, the look on Bai Xiaowei's face was very relaxed.

After a moment, Bai Xiaowei put down the fold, looked at Zong Liang softly, and said: "Some things seem big, but things are just things, there is no difference between big and small. If it is solved, it is just a trivial matter. If it is not solved, it will still be there." It’s just one thing. For us, there are some taboos that we don’t need to take to heart.”

“When encountering obstacles, your heart is the answer.”

Hearing this, Zong Liang nodded repeatedly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Zongliang was ordered to go out to explore the specific situation in the northern land. After that, he must build many people's livelihood projects, reorganize the distribution of land, and give the people as much benefit as possible.

Although the content on the booklet is not shocking, it is enough to make your mind go crazy.

For example, the Yang family of Yunhan has hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Yunhan Prefecture, and that area happens to be under a plan to open up wasteland for farming. According to normal regulations, they will open up wasteland for farming there, and then allocate the land appropriately around it. common people.

On the map, the hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland were a barren land covered with weeds and wild trees, with a mountain range stretching across it, but now, it was considered prime farmland.

According to the records, it does not belong to the territory of the Yang family of Yunhan, and it is an ownerless land.

Another example is the Han family, which has a canal that is thousands of miles long. This canal was naturally washed out by heavy rains in the past years.

No manual excavation was carried out, but geographically, the canal did not belong to any party.

But unfortunately, that canal passed through the edge of the Han family's territory. Therefore, the Han family has been operating this canal for many years. Over time, even the people around it already knew that the river belonged to the Han family. Family style.

There are even some lower-class families who originally intended to rent the fields of the surrounding people for cultivation. Although they paid rent, the land deed certificates were still in the hands of the people.

However, after renting for a long time, and some people had difficulties in living, they had no choice but to borrow money from those low-income families and left IOUs. The specific amount was unknown, but both parties had a confusing account.

It is unclear whether the people will repay the money to the poor family, but it is true that the family has IOUs in their hands. Therefore, the land originally rented became the family's after a lot of troubles by the local government. It is difficult to calculate how many confusing accounts there are in it, even if you look through the official files. What can be recorded into the file is naturally the content that can be recorded.

Generally speaking, the northern government's work-for-relief program is naturally intended to harm the interests of some aristocratic families.

But according to the information Zong Liang gave to Bai Xiaowei, almost all the aristocratic families will be offended.

The family is well-founded and has clear evidence in black and white.

As for ordinary people, some people have evidence, and some people have no evidence, so it is difficult to unified their opinions.

If you want things to go as planned, you have to set up a monument.

Who should be chosen to erect this monument?

Zong Liang said: "All the harvests from the Yang family's field in Yunhan have not been put into the Yang family's treasury."

"In fact, when Mr. Yu Wenjun settled the refugees before, Yang also allocated some fields to some of the refugees. The specific number of households is unknown. As for those refugees, it is not clear whether they signed a deed of sale to Yang."

"That piece of land is a bit difficult to deal with. As for the canal under the name of the Han family, we can take out the geographical records and take it back by force. But if we take back the canal, some of the fields and mountains and forests around the canal will also have to be taken back. And he wants to come back, otherwise it will be equivalent to exploiting the Han family in name. "

"However, some of the fields and forests around the canal do not belong to the Han family, but some of the fields and forests do belong to the Han family."

"And the boundary division is relatively vague. There are different versions of the Han family, and there are other opinions among the people. They all hold different opinions, and there is no specific record from the local government."

Bai Xiaowei frowned slightly. Bai Xiaowei knew the general situation in the north.

Even if Yu Wenjun settled the refugees once, there are still tens of thousands of refugees in the northern land today, and there may be far more than this number. The nature of these refugees is complex, some of them are servants of wealthy families, and some of them, because of various For various reasons, I lost my family property and land.

Although the refugees cannot afford any trouble, if these things are not settled, then the work-for-relief program will lose its original meaning.

In some areas in the north, there are no disputes. Projects have started normally, either to build water conservancy projects or to build city defense fortresses. However, most of the places where construction needs to start are controversial.

Although the aristocratic family is rich and has no shortage of food and drink, the legal property that should belong to the aristocratic family must not be exploited, otherwise the people's hearts will be completely scattered, and it will cause greater turmoil and chaos in the northern land.

Bai Xiaowei smiled coldly and said: "At least, the hundreds of thousands of acres of land in Yunhan Prefecture do not belong to the Yang family in Yunhan Prefecture in name. You immediately take people to Yunhan Prefecture, find Yang Yu, and explain this to his face. He said that according to the plan, we must open up wasteland and cultivate fields. Some of the fields will be used to store military supplies, and some of the fertile fields will be used to appease the people. "

"Yang Yu will definitely feel that it is his Yang family who opened up that place and has been operating it for many years. Both the people and the government have acquiesced that the place belongs to the Yang family of Yunhan."

"Just answer, you are also following orders."

"If you encounter any obstacles, shoot them without mercy."

"Eat Yunhan Yang's alive before talking about it."

After saying that, Bai Xiaowei directly handed his sword to Zong Liang, which was a magical weapon that was not weaker than Chun Yun.

According to public order and good customs, if a family opens up wasteland in an unclaimed land, all the fruits of the land will belong to the family. However, that is hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

Zong Liang took Bai Xiaowei's sword and said solemnly: "I obey!"

Bai Xiaowei sighed slightly. After all these things have passed, he really doesn't know how many bosses he will offend!
