The court was still going well, but Zhang Dun was very unhappy below.

Fengqiu County.

Zhang Dun witnessed a case of selling children and women in the local Dali Temple.

The plaintiff sold his daughter to a wealthy family in the county five years ago. He was only 12 years old at that time. Now the woman died in the wealthy family’s house inexplicably.

Logically speaking, the plaintiff should not sue again. This kind of slave contract is lifelong and once sold, it has nothing to do with him.

But he moved out of the "employment law" during the Xining period, saying that the transaction contract was invalid and demanded compensation from the big deal.

The big family is not easy to bully. Not only does it say that his daughter committed suicide, but also brought out Yuanyouchu to abolish the "Employment Law", and everything is unreasonable for the plaintiff.

"Close down, retrial in three days!"

The three judges of Dali Temple made such a decision. The case must not only be in accordance with the law, but also comprehensively consider the human world, customs and public opinion.

"Old guy, wait for me!" The big man, a fat middle-aged man with big ears, left the big yamen, stared at the old plaintiff with a vicious expression.

The old man was startled and shook his head and didn't dare to answer.

The big man strode away, with an arrogant expression and a domineering attitude.

The people watching the yamen dispersed in groups of three or two, but the discussion did not stop.

"It's not easy for Lao Li..."

"I heard that his land was taken away by the official. I saw his daughter when I was a child. She was very beautiful..."

"Who asked him to sell it? The daughter who sold it was poured out water..."

Zhang Dun stood by and listened quietly. He looked serious and dressed simply. Everyone thought he was just an ordinary private school teacher.

When the people left almost the same, the people behind him saw that Zhang Dun was not moving and whispered: "Sir."

Zhang Dun's face moved slightly, woke up, looked at the old man who had not walked very far, and said, "Bring him here."

The plainclothes guard behind him listened and walked straight to the old man.

Not long after, it was in a teahouse.

Zhang Dun looked at the old man who was a little trembling and said, "If you give you twenty acres of land, will you still sell your children?"

The old man had already seen that the person in front of him was a big man, and said bitterly on his thin face: "This official, who would be willing to sell his children if he could survive? Most of the income from the acre of land was given to the boss, and more than ten acres of land, and there was not even half a year of food left. My daughter had lived for a few years, and the youngest son was starved to death a year later..."

Zhang Dun raised his eyebrows and said, "If you give you twenty acres of land and don't have a boss, you can live?"

I looked at Zhang Dun, thought about it carefully, shook my head and said, "Official, let's say that, Fengqiu County has 140,000 people, and 120,000 people are raising those 10,000 or 20,000 people. Do you think we can survive?"

Zhang Dun was stunned and stunned. This was a new point of view, but if you think about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

This is Fengqiu County. If you put it more, does it mean that there are tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty who are raising those two or three million?

Zhang Dun thought for a while, then looked at the old man again and said, "How do you think there is hope?"

The old man looked at Zhang Dun, a little suspicious, and silently said, "Let me be a big business."

Zhang Dun understood and said, "Give him twenty cents."

The old man hurriedly said, "Officials, the old man has also studied and doesn't have any money. I hope I can do something with you and do something for you. In Fengqiu County, I am very familiar with the local area."

Zhang Dun ignored him and left straight away.

The old man followed behind and shouted several times. Seeing that Zhang Dun ignored him, Youyou sighed and said, "It's not okay for a big family, it's better to give some small officials..."

Zhang Dun left the county town and headed straight for the village.

I have seen and seen more in the local area these days, which has really given him many new ideas, which has seen the "real world" and has been greatly touched.

In the evening, Zhang Dun was chatting with an old man in a field.

The old man's second son is very keen on "entering the officialdom" and is the "measurement team leader" designated by the county government in this area.

He bit the cake and said excitedly to Zhang Dun: "Mr. Da. You may be from the south and don't understand what's happening here. I tell you that when I measure it here, I can get 50 acres. In our village, all registered families have 40 acres, and the tax revenue has been greatly reduced. The county magistrate said that if someone dares to do anything randomly, he will sue the county government and guarantee that he will not be punished."

When Zhang Dun saw him excitedly, he smiled and said, "Everyone said that officials protect each other, so they are not afraid that they are together? Besides, county officials usually only worked for two or three years, so why are they going to do things the same when changing people?"

The young man glanced at him with some dissatisfaction and said, "You just don't understand. A while ago, there seemed to be a county magistrate in Dongming County. He sued him, but he was taken away in just half a month. I tell you, it's different now. Look, you dare to do things randomly in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is no good ending!"

Zhang Dun said: "Is it enough for a household of forty acres?"

The young man was happy again and said, "The 40 acres planted, less than one acre needed by the imperial court. No matter how large the population is, it will be enough to eat..."

"Okay, eat quickly." His father frowned and shouted.

The young man moved his butt with some dissatisfaction, then looked at Zhang Dun and said, "Mr., if you want to buy land here, don't think about it. I heard from the county government that in the future, there will be heavy taxes for a land transaction. Maybe one acre of five jin will have to be taxed for three jin. If you don't plant it for another three years, you will be collected by the court. It's not cost-effective..."

Zhang Dun was surprised at this moment. This was the first time he heard about the land transaction. At present, the court still had no way to divide the land at the level of "measurement", let alone the transaction.

"Why don't you go!" the young father scolded again.

The young man glanced at his father resentfully, quickly finished eating the cake in his hand, stood up, patted his butt, and said, "Today we have almost finished measuring our village, you can wait and divide the land."

The young man was very excited, picked up the shovel and strode away.

The old man took a sip of water and smiled and said to Zhang Dun: "The young and reckless child makes the eldest gentleman laugh."

Zhang Dun admired the young man very much and said with a smile: "Old brother, your family will be divided into a lot of land this time, right?"

The old man couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Master laughed. The county magistrate did say that he wanted to divide the land, but I don't know how much it is."

Zhang Dun nodded slightly.

The provisions of the 'Fang Tianjun Tax Law' have been published for a long time, and now it is a matter of progress in implementation.

According to the population of Fengqiu County, a family can get 40 acres, which is actually a small one, at least 80 acres.

However, there are still various complex problems, and the actual amount should be about 60 acres.

However, for a family of 10, sixty acres is quite wealthy.

The premise is that the world is peaceful, there are no heavy taxes, and there are no bone-killing and marrow-sucking of bullies.

Zhang Dun ate slowly, with a smile on his face.

He has been here for the past few days and has felt all kinds of difficulties and the pressure is very great.

But just in this place, under the woods, he chatted with the most ordinary people, and he saw hope!

The lowest level, the most real and easiest to realize hope!

After eating these, Zhang Dun left more than a dozen cents and forced them over, making sure that the old man's family had taken it away, and then left.

Not far away, Zhang Dun held his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Where are you still holding those magistrates in Beijing?"

The minor official behind him said, "Yes. Mr. Cai wrote to me that he would have to let them go back in one or two days at most, and he would not delay too long."

He said, looking at Zhang Dun's rare smile, he was secretly surprised.

Zhang Dun looked at the clear river water not far away, and for some reason, he suddenly became interested and said, "You block it and I'll take a shower."

Behind him, the civil servants and guards looked at each other. It was just early spring, and Mr. Zhang was almost sixty years old. Going to the river to take a bath?

Zhang Dun ignored them and really started to untidy his clothes and prepare to go to the river to swim.
