Chengdu, September.At dusk, the sun was setting, and a round of red sun reflected the whole earth red, and dyed the distant mountains red.

Jia Yan pressed the long sword in his hand, wore the Hou seal on his waist, straightened his back, and walked through the fields with his head held high, but his steps were a little hurried.

In the fields, the common people bent over and bowed their heads and were busy with farming work. When they saw that Jia Yan, the new Guannei Hou, was coming, they stood up and said hello with smiles on their faces.

Jia Yan didn't dare to trust his fellow villagers, so he nodded and clasped his hands in return.

Arriving at the field of his cousin Jia Yuan, Jia Yan stopped and turned to Jia Yuan, who was working in the field, and shouted, "Ziquan! Ziquan!"

Listening to the familiar words, Jia Yuan scratched his head, as if he didn't hear it, and buried himself in farming.Jia Yan anxiously shouted directly: "Anu! Anu!"

When Jia Yuan heard the nickname, he looked over and patted his head in a sudden realization. Ziquan was the word he just picked up from someone a few days ago!

Jia Yuan put down the farm tools, waved at him, and shouted, "Xigou! Here we come, wait for me!"

Jia Yan's face darkened, and he became a Marquis of the Guannei, but this kid is still like a wild man in the field.

Jia Yuan smiled innocently, wiped the dirt from his hands on his clothes, and said, "Xigou, why are you calling me?"

Jia Yan took a few glances and asked, "Anu, where is your Hou Yin?"

Jia Yuan glanced at his youngest son playing by the field, and said embarrassingly, "A pig took it to play!"

Jia Yan frowned and said, "Pay attention, we are at least Guannei Hou. Don't be like before, just know how to fight and kill."

Jia Yuan scratched his head, and muttered, "What's the difference between being noble and not being noble? There are so many rewards for the fields, and you can't grow them. If you should fight, you should still fight. If you should farm, you should still farm."

The two marquises Jia Yan and Jia Yuan can be said to be very shabby. The big man did not reward Shiyi at all, but each of them rewarded one or two hectares of land more, and the rewarded fields were still not the same, there were two or three acres apart. ten miles.

Jia Yan glared at Jia Yuan, lifted the sword at his waist, sat down on the ridge of the field, looked around, and whispered, "Do you know why we only have one or two hectares of land?"

Jia Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"Our land with many people is called narrow township, and the land with few people is called wide township. The land in narrow township can only be rewarded for half, but the land in wide township can be rewarded with three or four hectares." Jia Yan whispered.

Jia Yuan snapped his fingers, calculated, frowned and said, "So what? No matter how many fields there are, we don't have servants, and the cows are only two heads, so we can't finish farming. It's better to reward some grain and money."

Speaking of this, Jia Yan chuckled and said, "Anu, you don't know now. We will have more children in the future, so we don't divide the land? And do you know what is the most valuable thing in our Guanneihou?"

Seeing that Jia Yan had an inside story, Jia Yuan leaned closer, licked his face and said, "I don't know, play brother, tell me!"

Jia Yan looked proud, looked around again, and said in a low voice, "Anu, don't think about it. You have two children, and I have three children. These few hectares of land are enough for them to share. If you can go to Kuan Township, you can get more points." An hectare of land, the grandson will still have the land at that time. And when we reach Kuan Township, our status as Marquis of Guannei will be the most useful."

"Why?" Jia Yuan asked curiously.

Jia Yan waved his hand, beckoned Jia Yuan to come closer, and leaned on his ear, he said: "Our imperial court wants to limit the land, and in the future ordinary people will only have a maximum of one or two hundred acres. Our Guan Neihou is different, and we can have up to 25 hectares." Land, if you add me, you have fifty hectares of land, and the prime minister only has fifty hectares of land. Therefore, the most valuable thing for the Marquis of Guannei is the number of acres we occupy."

Jia Yuan's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He was about to exclaim, but Jia Yan covered him.

After a while, Jia Yuan came back to his senses, and Jia Yan let go of his big mouth.

Jia Yan put his arms around Jia Yuan's shoulders, looking forward to the future, and said, "Anu, there is no one in Longyou, and there is a lot of land, and it's okay. Let's go to Kuan Township, and the imperial court will give us three or four hectares of land. With the quota of 22 hectares, we can buy or cultivate more wasteland in the future.”

"In the future, we can be like the Liu family, Chang family, and Du family in the county. Let the children study, join the army, and become the Jia family in that place. If we stay here, we will be unable to do anything and have no money to buy land. And It’s not easy to buy this land in the future, won’t the Marquis of Guan Nei be abolished?”

Jia Yuan frowned and asked, "If we go to Longyou, we won't be able to plant so much land in a short time! One servant is worth the price of four cows."

Jia Yan chuckled, and said with a smile: "I don't know! What if we fellows go together? The court not only wants to limit the land, but also divides it. And half of the land in the narrow township is divided, and the wide township is as many as it is. Let the folks Sell ​​the land here, and then go to the Longyou court to redistribute the land, won't you make money once you come and go?"

"Let the folks use the money to buy farming cattle, and then go to Longyou. When there are more cattle, they will plant more. There is a limit on the number of acres. At that time, we can distribute the land to them, except those who pay the land rent to the imperial court. Just collect a little, give them all the rest, and be worthy of the folks. If you have money, you can buy slaves, or buy fields to keep for grandchildren and sons.”

Jia Yan looked at the pensive Jia Yuan, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "That's what I heard from above. How are you? Are you going or not?"

Jia Yuan pondered for a while, then said: "It's not impossible to go, but I'm worried that the Qiang people in Longyou will be in danger, and I don't know where to go?"

Jia Yan raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Before I came here, I asked someone to ask. Among the six counties of Longyou, Tianshui, Wudu, and Yinping can grow rice. It is convenient for us to go to these three places."

Jia Yuan selected them one by one, and said seriously: "Wudu County is too close to Guanzhong, and there are many Qiang people around Yinping County. Tianshui County seems to be good."

Jia Yan put his arms around Jia Yuan's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Liu Yin, the prefect of Tianshui County, is from Chengdu. Let's go to Tianshui. As for Ji County and Shangyu, we won't go, let's go to Xi County."

"Listen to play brother."

"Haha, the better days of our brothers are coming!"

A few days later, Jia Yuan and Jia Yan encouraged people from the village to go to Longyou together, analyzed the pros and cons, and pledged themselves as Marquis of Guannei as a guarantee.

Finally, after the autumn harvest, under the bridge of Jia Yuan, the people and friends of the three hundred townships and villages reported to the prefect Zhang Yi, and after receiving the decree of the prefect Liu Yin of Tianshui County, they sold the land to Jing under the auspices of the government. Chu officials.

Jia's [-] households, more than [-] people immigrated to Tianshui West County before winter came.In November, the Jia clan moved to Xixian County, and settled down smoothly after obtaining the local county.

At the same time, there were more Bashu people from narrow villages, under the auspices of the prefectures and counties, immigrated to Longyou one after another.

"Jia's Genealogy": "The ancestors Jia Yuan and Jia Yanchu were Guanneihou, and their ancestors were from Chengdu, Shu County. They moved to Xixian County, and the Jia family in Tianshui has flourished since then!"
