  Chapter 101 099 [Doing great things] (addition for the leader "Wandering outside the clouds")

  Fei Chun came to Wuxing Town and eased the talent gap for Zhao Han.

  Although Chen Maosheng can read and write, but the statistics of money and food are really difficult, and he is busy with affairs and has no time to learn arithmetic.

  The local residents, of course, can write and count, but they can't reassure Zhao Han.

   The money and food affairs can only be handled by Pang Chun.

  As soon as Fei Chun came, he was reused immediately. He served as the head of the household section of Wuxing Township and concurrently served as the logistics officer of the Tuanyong Camp.

  He has nothing else to do for the time being, but to pay the officials of the town office, and by the way, be responsible for the logistics during the training period of the regiment brave camp.

  All start-ups lack departments and talents, and will gradually improve in the future.

  Zhao Han was busy training soldiers every day, and sent people to row downstream to listen to the military movements of the officers and soldiers.

   Waiting left and right, nothing happened, no sign of officers and soldiers.

  There are less than sixty capitals in Luling County, and Zhao Han occupied two capitals at once, yet the county magistrate didn’t respond?

   In the blink of an eye, it entered May, and the rice had begun to head, and it was still calm.

  Instead, it was Huangba Village on the other side of the river, Maotian Village, Yinkeng Village, and Pingyang Village in the downstream, and Shangfang Village and Ganshang Village in the north. The gentry in these villages were disturbed.

  The reason is very simple. There are too many Huang surnames in Wuxing Town, and intermarriage between people with the same surname is not allowed, so they often marry women from the next village.

  Not to mention the land distribution, Zhao Han also distributed food. Some daughters-in-law quietly went back to their natal family, brought a few catties of rice to help their natal family, and spread the news of the changes in Wuxing Town by the way.

   There are several villages in the surrounding area, the tenants are ready to move, and the landlords are walking on thin ice, sending people to the county seat to file a complaint.

  …

  "Mayor," Chen Maosheng came to report suddenly, "The quarry on the other side of the river has been taken over by the landlord surnamed Zuo in Huangba Village."

  Zhao Han said with a smile: "I will pick the time."

  Chen Maosheng also said: "That quarry should be considered the public property of the town, and many people hope to send troops to take it back."

   "We'll talk about it after harvesting the rice." Zhao Han didn't deny the proposal.

  The other side of the river is a steep hillside, which is actually the territory of Huangba Village. Because the Huang family is so powerful, they forcibly occupied it more than ten years ago and robbed a piece of forest on the opposite bank.

   Now, several Huang masters are dead, the quarry has been vacant, and the left master of Huangba Village wants to take it back.

  The idea is also quite strange. He regards Zhao Han as a bandit who robbed Huang's family property, and thinks that Zhao Han dare not cross the river easily and use force.

  Zhao Han is really not free for the time being, the officers and soldiers have been missing for a long time, and the busy farming season is coming, so he can only let the miscellaneous soldiers go home first. He happened to find time to write the constitution of the Datong Association based on his practical experience.

   By the way, "The White-haired Girl" was adapted, and Chen Maosheng was responsible for the rehearsal, and the performance will be performed after the rice harvest.

   After sending Chen Maosheng away, Zhao Han began to write the articles of association.

  The general chapter at the beginning quotes the "Book of Rites": "The journey of the great way, the world is for the public... so that the old will die, the strong will be used, and the young will be strong... Therefore, the outdoors are not closed, which is called Datong."

  Considering that members from the lower classes would not be able to understand it, Zhao Han translated this paragraph into vernacular.

  Next is the breakdown—

  First, Chinese citizens who have reached the age of fifteen.

fourth…

   "Would you like to join?" Zhao Han handed over the written constitution.

  Fei Ruhe read the whole content carefully, scratched his head and said, "Is it like Wuxing Town?"

  Zhao Han said with a smile: "You want to ask, if I call Qianshan County, how will I deal with Fei's family?"

   "Yes, this is it." Fei Ruhe nodded and said.

  Zhao Han had already thought about it: "Let's take your family as an example. First, you must have a separate household registration. There are too many people in your family, and the second and third uncles have to set up their own families..."

   "Why separate households?" Fei Ruhe interrupted.

  Zhao Han replied: "To prevent the local clan from getting too big."

  Fei Ruhe said: "You continue."

Zhao Han also said: "Secondly, all the shops, paper mills, and fried tea houses of Fei's family can be preserved. However, domestic slaves are not allowed to work, and the contract of sale must be torn up and replaced by an employment contract. The servants in your family are also It must be changed to an employment contract. It can be signed for three years or five years, but it can only be signed for a maximum of five years. The contract can be renewed when it expires. If the helper does not want to renew the contract, he cannot be prevented from leaving. "

   "The helper will leave before the contract expires?" Fei Ruhe asked.

  Zhao Han explained: "You can report to the official and ask the helper to pay liquidated damages. There is a limit to the liquidated damages, and it must not exceed the ability of the helper."

  Fei Ruhe nodded and said: "Understood, you continue to talk."

  Zhao Han said again: "Third, your family's land, calculated according to the household registration population, can only keep 200 mu per person. The rest will be confiscated..."

   "You're crazy!"

  Fei Ruhe stood up abruptly, pointed at Zhao Han and said, "If you do this, you won't win the world, and the gentry will hate you to death!"

"Listen to me," Zhao Han said with a smile, "if you are willing to donate land, then the remaining land will be exempted from land tax within ten years, and will be halved within twenty years. Each person retains two hundred acres of land, which is enough You are spending too much on food and clothing, not to mention shops, paper mills and fried tea houses.”

Fei Ruhe's anger subsided a little, and he shook his head again and again: "Brother Han, you really can't do this. I don't care, and I don't want to enjoy myself. But what about other gentry children? Take Fei Ruyi as an example. Money is like flowing water, and a fancy dress is worth a hundred gold. If you go to Qianshan County, he will definitely recruit Xiangyong to fight with you!"

   "Oh, Daming is going to die, do you know that?"

Zhao Han sighed and said: "Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces are in civil unrest. The imperial court suppressed it for several years, and the peasant army suppressed more and more. Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Huguang also broke out civil unrest one after another. Western Fujian and southern Jiangxi are still not settled yet. The White Lotus Sect in Beizhi, Shandong, and Henan has been suppressed and revived, and it is inexhaustible. Liaodong has been occupied by the Tartars, and they knock on the customs every year. The imperial court has no money and increases taxes. Now there is only Liao pay, and I am afraid that it will be levied in the future. Suppression of wages. Do you think it is the end of the dynasty?"

   Fei Ruhe was silent.

Zhao Han continued: "Today's Jiangxi is only short of a catastrophe, and there will be wars everywhere. Do you know what civil chaos looks like? Let me fight the world, and I will leave two hundred acres of land for each of you. Stores and workshops are reserved for you. When other peasants revolt, I’m afraid they will simply rob your house!”

  Fei Ruhe still did not speak.

  Zhao Han continued: "The Tian soldiers on the southern Jiangxi side only asked the landlords to hand over 30% of the land, and reduced the rent and interest for the rest. They are a rare restraint. Do you know what the **** is like in Shanxi and Shaanxi?"

  Fei Ruhe turned his head and looked out the window, as if he didn't want to take another look at Zhao Han.

Zhao Han said: "In Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, where the peasant army passed, no gentry clan was spared. They didn't want the land, but they wanted to ransack their families and exterminate their clans, robbed them of all their money and food, and kidnapped their slaves, tenants, and civilians to join the army. .Just like locusts, rolling more and more, eating a county, and then going to the next state, after crossing the border, the land is almost white!"

  Fei Ruhe was finally moved, probably because he thought of this situation in his family.

Zhao Han pointed to the outside: "I'm making a fuss in Wuxing Town, and the tenants in the surrounding villages are all ready to move. Believe it or not, as long as I let out a little word, they will kill the landlord and start a riot. Why is this happening? Don't you dare?" Dare to answer?"

  Fei Ruhe could only bite the bullet and explain: "This is different from Qianshan County. Qianshan County is richer, but here is too poor!"

Zhao Han sneered: "For the poor people, the wealth of Qianshan County is just that they can barely survive. As I said, Qianshan County is only short of a catastrophe! Why is this situation? The exploitation has reached the limit!"

  Fei Ruhe argued: "My family didn't force the tenants to death. Even my grandfather wants to save face. The land rent is very low."

"Your family's rent is low? Where's the Patriarch Fei? That old man's income is heavy!" Zhao Han sneered, "Once the peasants revolt, it doesn't matter whether your family's rent is low or not, and your entire Fei family will be looted." Let’s talk again. Let me ask you again, how did the Fei family get their land?”

  Fei Ruhe replied: "Doing business to make money, I bought it."

"Do you believe it yourself?" Zhao Han sarcastically said, "Two hundred years ago, the Fei family only lived in a corner of Henglin, and even after starting a business, they only had a thousand acres of land. Now, the land of Fei's clans has increased. Come to think of it, at least hundreds of thousands of acres, right? They were all bought in a serious manner? Fei’s various schools, which one didn’t lend usury? Including yours!”

   Fei Ruhe was speechless.

  Usury belongs to the big killer of landlords. When self-cultivating farmers encounter difficulties, they can only borrow usury to survive the crisis. If you borrow and can't repay, you have to bite the bullet and sell the land, and the land is gradually concentrated to the big landlords.

Fei Ruhe suddenly asked: "Even if all the gentry are obedient and hand over the land to the court for disposal, and then the court distributes it to the people, and prohibits the sale and transfer of land. But after a hundred years, two hundred years later, there will be more and more people in the world. , how can there be land to continue to divide?"

   "Wouldn't it be nice to have two hundred years of peace?" Zhao Han said.

  Fei Ruhe sneered: "That's two hundred years of peace in exchange for the seizure of the gentry's land! What's wrong with the gentry?"

   "What's wrong with a gentry?" Zhao Han slammed the table, "Which gentry in the world dares to say this with a clear conscience!"

   Fei Ruhe hesitated to speak, unable to refute this question. He has always been very reckless, and today he has said so much, which is already considered an extraordinary performance.

   This guy is not stupid, he just often lacks a muscle, and it can also be said that he is heartless.

  Like his father, Fei Yinghuan has no heart, but his brain is actually a little scary smart.

Zhao Han also said: "After the unification of the world, we can open factories and sell goods overseas to earn money from foreign countries. If there is not enough food, we will plant more sweet potatoes and corn. If the land is not enough, we can also immigrate overseas. As long as the court does not mess up, there are always ways to think about it.”

   "Let me think about it again." Fei Ruhe was upset.

   "嗙!"

Zhao Han slapped the table fiercely: "You keep saying that you are going to do something big. But when the thing comes to an end, you are petty. What I want is the world. You only stare at your own one-acre three-point land. Why do you look like you can do big things? Annan, why is it so difficult to reward you with tens of thousands of acres of land? You have everything in the world, but are you afraid of running out of land? You have to have bait for fishing, and you don’t hang the bait. Do you want to be Mr. Jiang?”

  Fei Ruhe suddenly realized, yes, the world has everything, so why not have land?

  Zhao Han said again: "You don't hesitate to do great things, and you are not afraid of death, but you are afraid that your own land will be lost? Fei Ruhe, you are a person who wants to do great things, not a short-sighted local rich man in the countryside!"

   "Bang!"

  Fei Ruhe blushed, kicked the stool over, slapped the table and said, "I'm going to go all out, don't want life, don't want money, don't want land, just want to do great things!"

  Talking about Nima for a long time, but the words "do big things" are still effective.
