Chapter 770 The Expected Conflict

Not only that, but the next day, the barracks in various states were mobilized, and the red gold army entered the city. Even in the village, there were also centurion red gold army stationed in the village, forming a deterrent and high-pressure posture without affecting the people to the greatest extent. .

Another day later, officials from various local household departments also arrived in place one after another, and the laws and regulations on land changes were officially posted and implemented.

That is to say, from the day when the announcement was posted, the ownership of all the land under the Holy Dynasty is not in the hands of the people, but all belong to the government and belong to the unified management of the household department.

Of course, for the time being, it is only a nominal and legal ownership, and the land is still in the hands of those landlords, but the horror of the law is that it must not be regarded as a 'form', and it is definitely not a blank sheet of paper. A system and norms.

After the notice was posted, it really caused a huge shock. For ordinary people who do not have land, this matter naturally has little impact. After all, whether the ownership of the land belongs to the government or is still in the hands of those landlords, it seems to them that It doesn't matter, it won't have anything to do with them anyway.

But then, when the detailed regulations for land reform came out, these people were excited.

Because after the government promised to repurchase the land, it will distribute good land according to the household registration of each place, and renting silver is much cheaper than renting from landlords.

This naturally made those poor people cheer.

But some people are happy while others are sad, not only sad, but also angry.

Those big landlords, after seeing the content of this change, felt that the sky was about to fall. The fields passed down from their ancestors were actually owned by the government overnight. This alone is enough to defeat all their emotions. .

Fortunately, the government made it very clear that this is just ownership, and the government will not forcibly take back the land, that is to say, who should own it or who should.

In a large landlord family in a certain county, the head of the family was drinking tea, but his wives and concubines couldn't sit still and started crying and howling.

"The government is deceiving people too much. Our family's land was handed down from the generation of grandpa's grandfather. How many years of family property, how many generations of hard work, was unexpectedly handed down to someone else overnight with a piece of paper by the government. Why? The government can bully people like this? We also have an official in our family, master, my uncle is an official in the city government, look for him at this time." A fat woman stepped forward and said.

Looking at this woman's appearance, she must be the main wife. After all, the others are all beautiful. Who would look for a concubine like this?

The owner of the house looked indifferent, and said: "Why are you in a hurry, why are you panicking? The government has posted a notice, but so what? They dare not really come to snatch our land, what are they afraid of?"

Even so, everyone can see that this master is pretending to be calm. As the largest landlord in the county, he is not a fool who knows nothing. The common people must be knowledgeable, knowledgeable and courageous.

Although there were rumors about land reform in the past, it was all thunder and no rain, and it passed quickly, and no one took it seriously, but this time it is obviously different.

The government is playing for real this time.

Just say that the red gold army of the centurion that came in yesterday saw something bad.

This is clearly out of fear of people making trouble, so precautions and preparations have been made in advance. If it is not for the real thing, why do it?

He has read the government's new policy, and has been studied by a special person. It can be said that each of them is extremely detailed. Really plan to move the knife.

But even so, the master of the family felt that this matter would definitely not be done in the end.

Because almost all the land in the holy pilgrimage is in the hands of some big families. This situation has lasted for thousands of years. How can it be changed overnight?

What's more, in the official documents of the government, although it is said that the land rights have already belonged to the government, it will not be expropriated by force. In other words, the current use right of the land still belongs to them, so just ignore it.The only trouble is that the government actually announced that they want to buy back the land and distribute it to the people who have no land, and the rent is very small, only [-]% of what they let other tenants rent.

This is the trouble, if those mud legs come to make a price with this matter, it is really a trouble.

But still ignore it.

"I still don't believe it, the land is in our hands, can they grab it by force?" The landlord sipped his tea proudly, comforting himself.

It's just that in just two days, various government orders were announced one after another, and some people from the government came to inform them. This time, the landlord was a little panicked.

Because the government wants to count how much land each family and even each person owns.

According to the new law, under one household, no more than [-] mu of land is allowed. This is mandatory, and the government will buy back the excess in the form of gold and silver letters. mu of land, the annual tax will be several times higher than the current tax.

Seeing this, the 'calm' landlord couldn't calm down anymore.

"The government forced the people to rebel, this is the government to force the people to rebel." Angrily, he smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces. Come, it is tantamount to uprooting the foundations accumulated by their family for hundreds of years.

No, definitely not.

And what is that gold and silver letter, not real money, but just a few pieces of blank paper, and he wants to take back the hundreds of acres of fertile land in his hands?

It is absolutely impossible.

The landlord was going crazy. In fact, not only him, but also his wives and concubines jumped the street and scolded their mothers one by one, especially his regular wife, that rather fierce shrew, who was already carrying a kitchen knife and was about to go to the government. To discuss a statement.

This time the landlord did not stop him.

Not only did he not stop him, he also asked all his family members, together with several other large landlords in the county, to bring the elderly and children to the government to discuss an explanation.

These landlords and big families are all big and big, and the whole family, young and old, went to battle, and there were one or two hundred people, which was considered mighty, and they rushed to the county government even crying and cursing.

The magistrate of the county government is already bigger than the two. To be honest, he can only implement the government order honestly in this matter. First, this is his job and his duty. Secondly, the county government has a censor watching over it, and a commissioner from the household department is in charge, so he dare not do anything.

Hearing that the big landlords in the county started to bring people to make trouble, the county magistrate knew that it was going to happen sooner or later. He had already guessed that it would be abnormal if they didn't make trouble.

As for the few big landlords in the county, a small county magistrate like him can’t afford to provoke them. Almost all of them have relatives who are officials, and their official positions are higher than themselves. Of course, they dare not provoke them. So on weekdays, I didn't suffer less from the useless air. Now seeing the landlord and the big family being deflated, the county magistrate was actually a little excited and relieved.

In his view, more than [-]% of the harvest and benefits in the county are taken up by these few big landlords. These people are masters who eat people and don't spit out their bones. I didn't expect to have today.

If you want to say that you are afraid, there must be some, but the county magistrate also has the confidence.

There are a hundred red gold troops in the county. With these soldiers, who would dare to do anything wrong?

Those big landlords are definitely going to suffer.

After waiting for a while, those people came, and they were crying at the gate of the county government, yelling and cursing, and there were some shrews, who scolded so badly that the scholars stopped and could only sigh secretly.

The county magistrate thought for a while and decided not to go out, but hiding was not an option. Those people began to rush into the county government. Later, the red gold army arrived, so they restrained themselves a bit, but still called him, the county magistrate, to go out and confront each other. Make things clear.

The county magistrate knew that these people could not be allowed to mess around, so he could only straighten his clothes and step out.

Outside, dozens of red gold soldiers guarded the door with a murderous look. Opposite them were big landlords, calling and cursing Sapo.

Seeing the county magistrate coming out, a fat and tall shrew scolded with a kitchen knife: "Guo, you finally came out. Is this how your government bullies us? Our land is passed down from our ancestors. Your government said If you take it, take it. This is no way for people to live. Guo, please tell me clearly, why do you want to take our land? Anyway, I don’t care. No one can get involved in our land, or I will fight you desperately .”

This shrew brandished a kitchen knife and was full of obscenities.

County magistrate Guo turned pale. After all, he is a majestic official of the Holy Dynasty. If he was insulted by this shrew in the street, anyone would be furious.

But to be honest, he really can't afford to offend the other party on weekdays. Someone in the other's family is an official in the city, and his official position is one level higher than his own, so he can't afford to offend him.

But after thinking about it, what's wrong with performing official duties by myself?Moreover, the person who implemented this change was Mr. Chu from the Shoufu Pavilion in Jingzhou. Thinking of this, he felt a lot more confident.

At that moment, County Magistrate Guo took out his official talisman and shouted: "The important place of the official house, don't make noise, don't be quiet!"

This yell came out with official skills, and it was quite powerful. It immediately suppressed the crying and cursing on the other side, and even silenced the other side.

Although the county magistrate Guo is usually gentle and elegant, he really started a fire and really has a sense of official authority.

The shrew on the other side was taken aback, and subconsciously shut up, but when she reacted, she immediately became angry: "Okay, your surname is Guo, you are so courageous, you dare to talk to us like this, you think you are an official! , my uncle is also an official, and he is still an official in the city. From the sixth rank, he is one level higher than your seventh rank sesame official. You have the ability. When our uncle comes back, he will show his majesty to the old lady."

County magistrate Guo's face darkened. He did know that these big landlord families had more or less official backgrounds. Either there were officials in their families, or there were officials in their relatives. In short, none of them were ordinary people.But so what, behind him is the Ministry of Finance, Master Chu, and the entire Holy Dynasty, so why be afraid of it?
