Chapter 128: Hundred Family Trees

() As soon as these words came out, the dozens of old guys were filled with righteous indignation, and they all denounced the unjust behavior of the western clan. In their mouths, the western clan seemed to be all wolf-hearted.

existence.

Yunfeng and Yangming didn't talk to each other, and looked at the group of old guys foaming at the mouth quietly. Perhaps this righteous and stern condemnation did not attract the expected echoes and approvals, and there was a buzz.

Gradually it got smaller.

Wei Zhuang bowed his hand to Yunfeng: "Your Majesty, the great clans in the west may not feel the pain, so they are resisting in their hearts, but we the great clans in the east are deeply resented by the Jie thieves, how can we be ungrateful? Therefore, after deliberation, hundreds of clans in the east voluntarily demolished the dock.

Fortress, we firmly support the king’s move to redeem the land. In order to respond with action, we specially recommend dozens of people including me to come and submit the list of land of each tribe for the king to review.” After saying that, he took out a book from his arms and said,

He offered it up respectfully.

"Oh? I'm so happy that you have such intention!" Yunfeng laughed, reached out to take it, opened it, and started to read through it. From the largest to the smallest, the land of nearly 200 households is listed in detail above, with some as many as tens of thousands of hectares.

, there are even hundreds of hectares of land at least. At a rough estimate, there are nearly 300,000 hectares of land!

‘Damn it, the autumn wind is hitting me on the head!’ Yunfeng cursed secretly!

The big clans in the east are different from the big clans in the west. Forced by Shi Hu's army, the big clans in the east all fled to the west of Chang'an. Their forts and land were correspondingly occupied by Jie Zhao, which means they are gone! They are no longer in the east.

Owned by wealthy families, their land deeds are just pieces of paper, worthless!

Yunfeng immediately shouted: "Come here, order General Xin to lead 20,000 troops to the east of Chang'an and demolish all the forts!"

"Yes!" The guard hurried away.

""

Yunfeng handed the list back to Wei Zhuang. He smiled slightly and said: "This list has no use. Please take it back. I hope you can return to your homeland as soon as possible and cooperate with the local officials to rebuild your home. Now everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and so is Gu.

There are so many chores

, it is not convenient to entertain them for the time being. They have settled down today. If you have time to come to Chang'an, Gu Dang will host a banquet in person. Please leave on your own, Gu will go first!" Yun Feng casually bowed his hands and went to talk to Yang Ming.

Make a gesture and walk.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!" Wei Zhuang called out quickly.

Yunfeng stopped for a moment, turned around and asked in confusion: "What else does Mr. Wei have to do?"

Wei Zhuang and the group of old guys looked at each other and saw a hint of anxiety in each other's eyes. It turned out that they were indeed planning to sell land to Yunfeng this time. Nearly two hundred wealthy families in the east were fleeing this time.

Some of the tenants, maids, and miscellaneous servants escaped on the road. When they arrived at the station, the remaining people were arranged by Qiao Minzhi, the governor of Yongzhou.

It can be said that except for their own family, they have no one around them now. Although they sit on nearly 300,000 hectares of land, their nearly 200 large and small families add up to only 300,000 to 50,000 people. At that point

How can people farm? What’s more, they used to be superiors to others, pampered and industrious, so how could they be willing to go to the fields and farm?

If we recruit new tenants, tenants, servants and servants, we will have no money or food. If we run away in a hurry, we will not be able to take away all the money, food and property. Secondly, we are afraid of violating Yunfeng's taboo, so together

, simply sold all the land, so they came in a hurry. They knew that Yunfeng was rich, and everyone in the world knew about Liu Yao's wealth.

But they didn't expect that Yunfeng only asked people to dismantle the Wubao, and nothing more happened. Moreover, from his tone, there was a faint hint of disapproval. How could they not be anxious?

.."" Wei Zhuang gritted his teeth and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we have discussed the sale of the land in advance and are willing to sell it to you at a discounted price. If your Majesty is short of money, it is not impossible to pay part of it temporarily. He

When the country is rich, it will not be too late to complete the remaining transactions."

Yunfeng glanced at him in surprise, then frowned: "Mr. Wei, you are trying to embarrass Gu! There are hundreds of miles of land from Chang'an to Tongguan in the east. Three days ago, it was Jie Zhao's territory. Gu killed him

After Shihu, it was obtained by Jie Zhao. It is true that you have the land deed in your hand, and the land is still the same land, Wubao

It’s still those forts, but since you and other tribes have fled, they should be regarded as giving up voluntarily. These land forts no longer belong to you, but were obtained by the bloody battles of our Qin army soldiers. To be honest, I am alone.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to part with some money, but I also sympathize with your plight, but if I allow you, how can I explain it to the entire army?”

"Why do you say this, Your Majesty!" Another old guy said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, our tribes have been living here since Emperor Wu, and the land deeds have been recognized by successive emperors. As a minister of the Jin Dynasty, the whole army has been accepted by Your Majesty.

How can the commander-in-chief ignore the laws of Jin? How can he push them aside?"

"Yes, that's true!"

"It is a helpless move for us to flee. It is better than surrendering to Shi Le!"

"We are all local county magistrates and nobles! According to the land occupation order, we have the right to occupy land. It is clearly written in the Jin Law!"

Dozens of old guys expressed their support one after another. Judging from this stance, they wanted to take advantage of the large number of people and speak out in one fell swoop. Yunfeng was speechless!

"Hmph!" Yunfeng snorted coldly and pressed his hands: "Everyone, please be quiet. The land occupation order stipulates that from the first level to occupy fifty hectares, to the ninth level to occupy ten hectares, each level will pass through"

Chapter 128 of "Wu Huan Luan Hua" "Hundred Family Trees" has been reduced by five hectares. You all tell me, what grade of officials are you? How much land do you occupy? You sell the illegally occupied land to the orphans for money. Who set the Jin Dynasty?

Ignore the law?"

Seeing that Yun Feng was already showing signs of anger, the old guys suddenly became mute. Nowadays, except for the fact that they think they have the upper hand in public opinion and morality, they actually have nothing. They will not fall out with Yun Feng easily.

After a long time, Wei Zhuang said sarcastically: "Please calm down, Your Majesty. Aren't we here to have a good discussion? What's more, this land occupation order has been repeatedly broken. It can only restrain the common people, but it cannot restrain us scholars. Just like Jiangdong."

, Emperor Xiaoyuan once seized fifty hectares of fertile land at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain and gave it to the famous scholar Wang Dao. This was also a unified system, but his Langya Wang family

The area occupied by the mountains, forests and lakes in Qiantang is probably no less than 100,000 hectares. The Yu family and the Xun family in Yingchuan also set up manors in Qiantang, which is not much worse than the Wang family. The local gentry with the surname Wu is not much more.

Mention, in comparison, this bit of land passed down by our ancestors is really nothing. Your Majesty, don’t want to chill the hearts of the world’s scholars!”

"Hehehehe~~" Yunfeng suddenly laughed and said: "Since you are talking to the scholars, please wait for a moment." After saying that, he turned around and ordered: "Go and get the "Hundred Family Genealogy"!"

The two guards took the order and left.

For a moment, there was silence at the top of the city. The old guys all had a bad premonition. They came to Yunfeng to reason with him. As long as he admitted that he was a minister of the Jin Dynasty, they could always use words to trap him, and he would not behave until then.

Give money with both hands?

And they expected that Yunfeng would not be violent easily. After all, the emperors since the Han Dynasty did not just kill whoever they wanted. They did not reach the point where they would draw their swords to kill people before they disliked them or were contradicted.

If you really want to do this, you will definitely be punished by God.

The servants scolded them, so they felt confident, and Yunfeng responded with words as expected. He "traveled through Wu Huan Hua" without any force, but at this time, Yunfeng's unhurried appearance made them angry.

I felt a little uneasy.

Yang Ming also cast doubtful eyes on Yun Feng. He didn't understand what this "Hundred Family Trees" was. Yun Feng smiled and shook his head, so Yang Ming had to swallow this doubt temporarily.

About half an hour later, the guards returned. Yunfeng took the "Hundred Family Genealogy" and handed it over and said: "This is the genealogy of the gentry recently compiled by the court. Mr. Wei, everyone, take a look. Is there any clan that you are waiting for?"

Number among them?"

There are three versions of "Hundred Family Genealogy" in history. The first book was written during the Taixing period of Sima Rui. It records the hundreds of gentry families who crossed the river with him and the local gentry families in Jiangdong. Later, due to the rise and fall of the gentry clans, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin ordered people to re-edit "One Hundred Genealogy".

"Eighteen Prefectures Genealogy", Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty also ordered Wang Senru to revise the "Hundred Genealogy", but these three versions, without exception, only recorded the Jiangdong gentry.

Wei Zhuang stretched out his hand to take it, and opened it with many old guys to read it. Gradually, the complexion became more and more ugly. In the "Hundred Family Genealogy", there are Wang family, Yu family, Xun family, Xie family, Huan family, Lu family, etc.

The genealogical origins of the southern gentry are clear, but not a single word of the northern gentry's genealogy is recorded, regardless of whether they are from Guandong to Guanxi!

"This, this" Wei Zhuang's hands holding the book trembled slightly, his lips trembled and he was speechless for a long time.

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wei, everyone, the gentry recognized by the imperial court are all here. It is not that Gu does not recognize your status as a gentry, but that the imperial court no longer recognizes you as a gentry. In fact, since Jin Shinan

Counting from the time of crossing, you have become a common people, so you have no right to occupy more land. According to the laws of our Qin State, if the per capita land area exceeds 100 acres, heavy taxes will be imposed. Are you willing to pay heavy taxes?"

"Your Majesty, where did this "Hundred Family Trees" come from? How could we not be from the "Entertainment Show" family?" an old guy couldn't help but call out.

Yunfeng's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "What? Could it be that Gu forged it? The "Hundred Family Genealogy" was revised by Emperor Xiaoyuan himself. You can send people to Jiangdong to ask and find out, or you can ask the court

Appeal and regain gentry status

, but before that, there is no doubt that you are common people. Okay, I reiterate again, I sympathize with you and understand your loss, so I have always spoken kindly to you, but it does not mean that I have the patience to continue to do unnecessary things with you.

Entanglement!

Everyone, please go back. The local officials will allocate land to you. On the one hand, you will work hard, and on the other hand, you will actively participate in business. At the same time, let the children of the clan read more and more thoroughly the textbooks issued by Qin State, so that they can take the official recruitment examination in the future.

, the rejuvenation of the family is just around the corner, wouldn’t it be better than holding on to it?

Is it better to hold on to the little bit of land left by our ancestors? Didn’t your ancestors start from nothing back then? Why can’t it work here with you? Everything depends on man-made things, so I’ll just say this. Please take care of yourself and say goodbye!” said Gong.

He bowed his hands and walked down the tower with the sheep.

"Mr. Wei, what should we do?" As soon as Yunfeng's figure disappeared, an old guy asked repeatedly, and the others all looked like they were lost, and they rushed up to surround Wei Zhuang.

"Hey~~!" Wei Zhuang sighed heavily and waved his hand feebly: "We didn't follow across the river. Jiangdong has removed our military status, but no one knew about it, so we used this to reason with the king. It's really funny.

Ah! This is shooting ourselves in the foot! We are no longer even nobles, and now we have nothing. As for appealing to the court, we can’t even think about it. What can we do if we don’t obey the king’s arrangements? Let’s go.

Let’s all go back!”
