Chapter 343: Dividing fields is in progress
As the four henchmen were beheaded, the scene reached a climax.
Then, Zhang Quandan pronounced Mr. Li's crime.
"Li Si seized people's fields, robbed people's wives and daughters, and killed seven people. People and gods were outraged. He was sentenced to death. After traveling around the villages in shackles, he was beheaded in the threshing floor of the town!"
Hearing this, the people turned pale.
What is beheading in the town after a parade? After so many years, don’t these people know the trick?
At the same time, Li Si couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Although this sentence is a death sentence, what is he doing with this free time? Isn't it just to give him a chance to escape?
When the time comes, just give this adult some money as a tribute, and then find someone of similar size to be beheaded.
And he can still return to Wangjiacun to dominate and be the same aloof Mr. Li.
Therefore, visible to the naked eye, Li Si had a smile on his face.
However, he was not happy for a long time when he heard Zhang Quandan say: "Everyone, as we march through the villages, we need people from the villages to accompany our Han army into each village, and then spread the word about his crimes and judgments around."
"Remember, after the parade is over, he will be executed on the threshing floor. Everyone must go."
"I'm telling you, when the time comes, not only he will be executed, but all such people in the entire Lijia Town will be executed on the same day in front of the entire town."
In response to the doubts of everyone in the village, Zhang Quandan's words confirmed that he really wanted to kill Li Si, so everyone knelt down and shouted.
"Master Qingtian!"
Seeing this, Zhang Quandan's expression suddenly changed. He slammed the temporary table hard and shouted: "Get up! You are not allowed to kneel. We, the Han army, are not allowed to kneel!"
"In our Han army, a person can kneel to the sky, the ground, or his parents, but others are not worthy of your kneeling!"
"I tell you, even the so-called emperor is not worthy of your knees, let alone the so-called officials, landlords and gentry."
"We, the Han army, are here only to do three things!"
"I'll make the decision for you, I'll make the decision for you, damn it's for you!"
After hearing this, all the villagers knelt down and shouted again: "Master Qingtian!"
Zhang Quandan banged the table again and shouted angrily: "Everyone, get up, no kneeling!"
Everyone stood up, Zhang Quandan nodded with satisfaction, and then sentenced the seven reported gangsters in the village.
"Wang Moumou, who stole from others, formed a gang, and used his power to bully others, now seven of them are sentenced to five years in prison and assigned to the county jail."
"king............"
The seven people who thought they would die after hearing Zhang Quandan's verdict could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Although he has to stay in jail for five years, at least he doesn't have to die.
Although some of the villagers were disappointed, most of them put aside their worries.
After all, the so-called bullying of these seven people is just a group of gangsters who think they are knights and heroes, stealing chickens and dogs in the village, or bullying and scaring others.
Therefore, the Han army did not kill seven of them. Only then did the villagers understand that the Han army was not actually a murderous person. The people killed by the Han army were all heinous people.
For a time, the threshing floor was filled with joy.
As for Zhang Quan Dan, seeing everyone celebrating and cheering, it was hard to interrupt.
And what surprised him the most was that there were quite a few people in Wangjiacun who were arrested or deceived into becoming young men or slaves. But why didn't their families feel the slightest sadness?
Zhang Quandan didn't understand this at first, but two years ago, he was one of the ordinary people living in this kind of life.
It's just that life has gotten better in the past two years, and he has retreated from this memory.
Now that I think about it, aren't these people actually the same him?
At that time, he had not yet married, and his elder brother was also pushed out of adulthood. At first, his parents and family were still very sad, but this sadness only lasted for less than half a month and then subsided.
Because now they are alive and the living are the most important, after all, life continues.
As for the son who is far away, whether he lives or dies depends on God.
Therefore, he originally planned to make the final announcement, but he announced it in advance.
"Everyone, our Han army captured Changsha and rescued 7 plundered boys, girls, women and strong men from the Daqian thieves."
"It's just that these people may have never left the village since they were young, so they don't know the names of the towns and counties. Therefore, these people are all resettled in Changsha City. If any of your children and wives are kidnapped, you can follow our Han army. Go find and recognize your relatives.”
"In addition, those who know the county where they belong have also been sent to the county at this time. You can go to the county to search first. If you can't find it, go to Changsha City to search. If you really can't find it in the two places, then I will only I can say sorry to you!"
"Similarly, if you are selling your own children, we, the Han Army, will investigate you. If you are buying and selling children because of a bad family atmosphere or a preference for sons over daughters, we will reject it."
"At the same time, I also suggest that if your family is really in difficulty and cannot afford to raise children, you can try not to recognize each other, so that the higher-ups will think that they are orphans and will be raised by the Han army, so they can survive at least. But if this is the case, after one year, even if you are their parents, you will not be able to make any decisions about them from now on, and you will not have the qualifications to control them."
"Of course, this is just my suggestion, you can decide for yourself."
"But I still have to tell you, if you take the children over, it's probably best not to leave them up there! At least up there, if the Han army has something to eat, they have something to eat."
In fact, it is very clear that the Han Army made an internal decision on this matter.
Because more than half of the children who were sold or robbed were girls, and there were very few boys.
Only three of these girls have a future. The older ones are not good-looking, so most of them are sent to brothels; the older and good-looking ones are mostly sent to brothels; as for the younger ones, The pretty ones were trained patiently and eventually became the maids of some mansions.
As for boys, it’s even simpler. No matter what they look like or how old they are, they all have a place to go. Of course, those who are exceptionally handsome may become pedophiles for some people.
Therefore, what the Han army did to deal with these problems was to arrange a lot of manpower to investigate and distinguish, and finally sent back the children that could be sent back, and kept the ones that could not be sent back by themselves.
Moreover, these children will definitely be the most loyal followers of the Han army in the future.
Of course, Liu Wu would not say that this was because he believed that if a family favors boys over girls, then after returning these children, it might be difficult to fish them out of the fire pit, but in the end they will be pushed down again. , this is a tragic thing.
As for whether those families that favor sons over daughters will come to the Han army to have children, this is definitely the case.
Because, after they take their children back, they will not only have one more labor force in the family, but when the children are older, they will sell them, or arrange their marriages, and give their brothers or elder brothers money as gifts for marrying their wives.
Therefore, what Liu Wu gave was a guarantee.
Tell them in advance, take precautions in advance, instead of pretending to be stupid and wait until these children are raised, and let these disgusting parents come to pick fruit and continue to disgust people.
After all, there is a huge difference between parents and parents.
Some parents are willing to die for their children, and their affection is astonishing.
But some parents are not even worthy of being human beings, let alone parents.
Maybe Liu Wu was a little dark about this kind of thing, but in his previous life, there were many such parents, let alone now.
Therefore, just be prepared for a rainy day!
If the poor child lives in an unloved family, then the Han army will give him love!
He firmly believes that this kind of love can be continuously passed on and infected.
Of course, just like in the TV series in his previous life, before Liu Wu traveled through time, he had developed to the point where he only wanted to fall in love. He would kill all living beings for love at every turn, causing chaos in the world and the destruction of the three realms!
And this so-called love should not only not be promoted, but also criticized, seriously criticized.
Can't we just follow the villain's example and tell the protagonists that the world is round, and the protagonists tell the villains that they don't understand love? ! !
It's too far off topic. In short, this kind of thing is Liu Wu's decision.
For this kind of thing, most of the villagers have different reactions.
Some are happy, some are worried, some are disdainful, and some are thoughtful.
But Zhang Quandan was unmoved, and then said something that made the villagers more concerned.
"I said that our Han army came here to bring Wangjia Village under our rule, and what we did was to make decisions for you."
"And for this matter, we will allocate land to everyone."
"Now that the evil leader has been killed, their fields have been vacated."
"But what I want to tell you is that if you want to divide the land, then you have to admit that all the land in the future belongs to the Han army, and you need to sign a contract agreement with the Han army."
Everyone was not too clear about what Zhang Quandan said, but with Zhang Quandan's explanation, everyone roughly understood the Han army's policy.
To put it simply, all the land from now on belongs to the Han army, regardless of whether it is opened up or not. Then you need to sign an agreement with the Han army. The agreement states that these lands belong to the Han army, but you can plant them for 30 years.
In these 30 years, you only need to hand over half of the grain.
Not only that, everyone was exempted from all corvées and other taxes.
It's just that the farmland in the village has not yet been clearly counted. After the counting starts tomorrow, everyone will start to divide the land equally. At least the farmland owned by one person will not be more than four acres, not less than two acres.
If there is not enough land, they will be moved out and relocated to other villages or towns. In short, everyone will have land. Plant and everyone has food to eat.
So after listening to Zhang Quandan's words, the cheers of the crowd were even higher.
They didn't expect that there were so many good things today, and they all wondered if they were dreaming.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Quandan introduced the positions in the village to everyone.
"First of all, the three elders in the village are abolished. The Wang clan chief and clan elders belong to your family affairs, and we don't care."
"From today onwards, according to the Han military system, four households in the village are one neighbor, with a neighborhood chief; five neighbors are one guarantor, with a chief guarantor; three to five guarantors are one village, with a village chief."
"The good thing is that there are 67 households in Wangjia Village, so Wangjia Village has a village chief. According to the system, the village chief is once every three years. Now Wang Laoshi is the acting village chief of your Wangjia Village. If the reform is successfully completed, you can Become a regular employee.”
"Wang Laoshi, come forward!"
After saying that, Wang Laoshi stepped forward in surprise. He did not expect that he would get the position of village head of Wangjia Village, although he was the acting village head.
"Do you promise to complete the reform?"
Wang Laoshi thought for a moment, then imitated the behavior of the Han soldiers, patted his chest and said:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"Yeah!" Zhang Quandan nodded, then looked at everyone and continued:
"The position of Village Sacrifice Wine has been established in the village, and the term of office is six years. It is specially appointed by the superiors, and I am the Village Sacrifice Wine of Wangjia Village."
"If the village chief is in charge of the overall work of the village, then the village priest is responsible for convening and publicizing the Datong Society's line and policies, as well as ensuring the education of the children in the village."
Most villagers do not understand the duties and matters of the village sacrificial wine, because in their view, the village chief obviously has greater power, so why does an adult like the Han army have to do the village sacrificial wine?
However, they did not dare to say anything at this time and just listened to what this Quandan continued to say.
Zhang Quandan pulled over the militia captain and said, "This is Wang Sanfen. He will be the militia squadron leader of Wangjia Village and will be in charge of public security operations."
"You have to understand that at least one person from each household needs to join the militia. Among them, the neighbor chief is the leader of the militia team, and each guard is the leader of the militia team."
Everyone knows this responsibility very clearly, that is, Wang Sansan will control the village's military force from now on.
Then Zhang Quandan pulled out a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old and said: "This is the person I am mainly introducing. He will be the clerk of our village. His term of office will be two years. He will be in charge of dividing the fields and signing contracts for them." Deeds and the issue of everyone paying grain taxes."
At this moment, the villagers' eyes turned hot when they looked at the child.
Because now this person is the real power figure in the village.
After all, there are certain things to pay attention to when dividing land. After all, the distance between the village and the water source in a piece of land are all different.
It can be said that the current village chief does not have as much power as him.
After all, this person has only been in the village for two years. It is difficult for the village chief to manage others, and he even says that he cannot offend him.
Not only that, they also manage taxes, which are life-threatening! !
The village chief says he manages village affairs, but the rights to public security, education, and money have all been divided, so the village chief's actual rights are much smaller.
Then, after the announcement was made, and all the evildoers were sentenced, the meeting broke up.
Everyone is looking forward to whether the fields can be divided tomorrow.
Just like Wang Laoshi, he was also very restless at night, tossing and turning.
As for his wife and children, they are very happy now. After all, his husband (father) has become the village chief, and his life will definitely be much better in the future.
Not only that, but now some people in the village are also eyeing the positions of the neighborhood chief and the security chief.
Although the Han army originally customized these positions to have injured soldiers who had no choice but to retire, or family members of soldiers who died in battle, to fill these positions.
It's a pity that the Han army does not have so many people now, so it can only temporarily let these villagers serve.
As for salary and the like, at least don't think about it now.
If you want to distribute it, let’s wait until next summer’s harvest!
After all, the salary of the entire Wangjia Village staff is about 150 dan per year, which is approximately equivalent to the annual output of forty acres of land. They can only wait for the food to be harvested after the summer harvest.
The next day, things went smoothly.
The first step is to measure the fields, and then start subdividing the fields.
Although it is only a small village, there are no less trivial matters, or even more.
At the same time, such things also happened in other villages and towns under Changsha County.
