Chapter 154
The farming business in Hedong County went smoothly. With the cooperation of Zhu Jun's army, Da Si Nong quickly divided the unowned land in Hedong County into villages one after another.

While dividing the land, Zhu Jun's army also posted the matter of farming in all counties in Hedong County. As for those farmers who have land, they can choose to continue farming by themselves, or join in the matter of farming.

Obviously, the farmers who are willing to cooperate with farming are basically refugees. The land in their hands has been annexed by local big families. Became a refugee.

Da Si Nong set up 50 people as a village, set up Diannong Sima, and planted [-] mu of land. On these lands, the imperial court provided these people with seeds and farm tools. Of course, most of the farm tools here are ordinary farm tools eliminated from Chang’an .

The initial farming began in the six counties where the Baibo thieves were severely ravaging. Since these six counties were captured by the Baibo thieves, no matter whether it was the rich people in the city or the big households in the villages outside the city, they were basically killed by the Baibo thieves. , so the imperial court's garrison business encountered the least resistance.

In less than ten days, the work of farming in these six counties was completed ahead of schedule, and now these refugees have already cultivated the fields with the farm tools issued by the court.

To the surprise of these refugees, after the ravages of the white wave bandits, the area of ​​land they are planting now is larger than before, so they no longer complain, but devote themselves to the cause of farming.

Except for these six counties, it is not so easy to promote the farming system in other places. After all, many of these lands still have owners, and the imperial court cannot justly acquire land from local tyrants. will be affected.

However, the noble families in Hedong County are not as good as those in the Sanfu area after all, not to mention that due to the influence of the Baibo bandits, there are also many rebels in other places. These rebels are the least polite. Big family, so after this time, most of the land in Hedong County has become unowned.

Although the local wealthy families in other counties wanted to resist the farming system, in front of Zhu Jun's army, these wealthy families had to obediently accept the fate of farming. Although they were wealthy families, they were not too wealthy.

The imperial court's farming project continued to advance in Hedong County. With the assistance of Zhu Jun's army, Da Sinong didn't bother to argue with this group of local wealthy people. For him, the more farms he farmed, the greater his contribution.

In the beginning, Da Si Nong was able to negotiate amicably with these powerful families, and tried to ensure the integrity of the farmland through some methods of land exchange, so as to facilitate the development of the farming business, but how could the local wealthy people agree so easily? farmer's request.

For the local wealthy families, the land given to them by Da Sinong is unplanted land, and the fertility of these lands is not as good as their original land. He opposed it, so he could only make Da Si Nong retreat in the face of difficulties.

If it was the former Da Si Nong, he might have given up on the difficulties now, but now he has reached a tacit agreement with His Majesty. This time, no matter what, he will promote the farming business in Hedong County.

For Zhang Ming, farming is a good way to increase agricultural productivity, but farming will inevitably hurt the original owners of the land, so he must choose a place to promote the farming system, and after the farming system takes effect, It will be much easier to promote it in other places at that time.

Hedong County is the best place for Zhang Ming to choose to promote the farming system.

The area that the imperial court can control today is nothing less than the Sanfu area, Hedong County, Hongnong County, and Hanoi County near Luoyang and Henan Yin. Promoting the garrison system will only bias the local forces there towards Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

In the Sanfu area, there are the most powerful aristocratic families, and it is also Zhang Ming's greatest reliance for survival. Here, he can only focus on stability. As for Hongnong County, there is the Yang family, the largest family, who wants to promote the farming system there. One does not agree.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Ming could only take Hedong County as the first target. The local wealthy families in Hedong County are not considered strong in themselves. Coupled with the rampage of the Baibo thief, they helped the court solve some wealthy families, and the remaining wealthy families were not enough. Fear, it is most appropriate to promote the farming system here.

However, even so, Zhang Ming did not underestimate the matter of farming. He not only sent Da Si Nong, one of the nine officials, but also let Zhu Jun's army stay in Hedong County. All kinds of operations were to promote the cause of farming.

Zhu Jun is in the camp.

Da Sinong came back angrily, sweating profusely. He is a Jiuqing, when has he suffered such a crime.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jun asked slowly.

"What else can there be? The officials under his command came to report that the nobles in Linfen County, Pingyang County, Xiangling County, and Yang County did not cooperate with the imperial court's actions. They said that unless they were killed, it would be absolutely impossible to settle the land. .”

"For this matter, I personally gathered the rich families of these four counties together, and told them the benefits of farming, but these people turned away in front of me, when did I suffer such a crime? .” Da Sinong said angrily.

"Then what do you think?" Zhu Jun asked comfortingly.

Zhu Jun hated dealing with these wealthy families the most. He came from a poor family, and he was able to get to where he is today thanks to his military achievements. After all these years, he still doesn't like these wealthy families very much.

"What to do, hmph, this group of people are shameless, if that's the case, then don't blame me for not giving face." Da Sinong said viciously.

"General, tomorrow you send [-] troops to follow me, and I want these people to know what will happen if you go against the imperial court." Da Sinong said flatly.

"These people don't cry when they don't see the coffin. Tomorrow, whether they agree or not, I will change these fields." Da Si Nong said expressionlessly.

"You want to do it?" Zhu Jun asked in surprise.

Zhu Jun saw it and was anxious in his heart. In the beginning, it only took them about ten days to complete the farming project in the six counties of Hedong County. It's been almost a month now.

Especially the wealthy families in Linfen County, Pingyang County, Xiangling County, and Yang County didn't even give Da Si Nong face, which made Da Si Nong feel humiliated for the first time.

"I'm going to secure these fields." Da Sinong said seriously.

Ever since he was in the Gaomen Hall, Da Sinong had reached a tacit understanding with His Majesty, so he had to complete the farm work this time, and even Zhu Jun had to closely cooperate with Da Sinoong's actions for this time.

"Alright, since you have already made up your mind, I will let Zhang Liao lead four thousand soldiers to accept your arrangement." Zhu Jun nodded and said.

"I'm sorry, General." Da Si Nong calmed down a bit.

Zhu Jun waited for a while, and asked Da Sinong again. He was a little worried about Da Sinong's actions. After all, mobilizing four thousand soldiers did not seem like a trivial matter.

After getting the affirmative reply from Da Si Nong, Zhu Jun didn't hesitate any more. He was a domineering person. If the court let him be the main person in charge of the farming, he might have already used the army.

It is also for this reason that Zhang Ming appointed Da Sinong as the main person in charge of the farming. His subjective attitude still hopes to solve the problem peacefully.

The next day, Da Si Nong once again asked his officials to gather these wealthy families together.

These powerful families came to Linfen this time to discuss matters. In order to show the strength of the family, they actually brought some private soldiers here. This is also their greatest confidence.

However, these private soldiers were all raised by wealthy families after all, and they could barely deal with some refugees, mountain bandits or yellow scarf bandits, but when they faced the army led by Zhang Liao, this group of people gave up all of a sudden.

In the meeting hall, Da Sinong was facing more than a dozen wealthy patriarchs, and he directly asked his officials to take out the land exchange agreement.

For these wealthy patriarchs, they actually have no second choice, because if they don't sign this land exchange agreement, they won't even be able to leave the meeting hall.

Even the head of the Wang family, who was the most thorny before, could only obediently sign his name on the land exchange agreement and affix the seal of the head of the family.

Da Sinong looked at the signed land exchange agreements, and he was very happy in his heart. As long as the wealthy families in the four counties were eliminated, the wealthy families in other places in Hedong County would not dare to deliberately resist again.

The smoother some things are, the more problems there are. When Da Si Nong returned to Zhu Jun's camp with these land exchange agreements, the nobles of the four counties did not choose to leave directly, but found a secluded place in Linfen County and held a meeting a meeting.

"You guys really believe what Da Si Nong said about farming the fields. I think he is taking the imperial court's order to exchange some bad fields for the good ones in our hands." The Patriarch of the Wang family was the first to say.

"Then what can we do? You and I both know that he was sent by the imperial court, and this time he has mobilized the army. Do we still have to fight against the imperial court?" the Patriarch of the Li family said helplessly.

These wealthy families usually bully the peasants by means, but if they are allowed to fight against the imperial officials, they can only admit defeat.

"Don't you think so?" The head of the Wang family looked at the heads of the heads and roared.

"I can't bear to ruin the court. If the land exchange agreement signed this time is really implemented by the court, at least half of my family property will be lost." The Patriarch of the Sun family couldn't help standing up.

Although it is said that Da Sinong's land exchange agreement is a bit excessive, it is indeed an exaggeration to say that he lost half of the benefits. According to Da Sinoong's land exchange agreement, the Sun family's loss this time is about [-]%.

As for the other rich families, most of the losses are around [-]%, which is already much better than that of the white wave thieves.

With the complaint from the head of the Sun family, the head of the Lin family also stood up and said loudly, "This time, my family lost no less than [-]%. These lands were acquired by the great Han Dynasty’s inexhaustible contributions.”

It has to be said that these people became more and more exaggerated. Most of the lands of these wealthy families were acquired by mergers. As for the rewards given by their ancestors, it was only about one-twentieth of these lands.

Soon, these Patriarchs reached a consensus that none of them could accept the court's land exchange agreement, but they had already signed the agreement, and it was not easy to go back on their word.

"Patriarch Wang, even if we want to resist, it is useless. As you can see, Zhu Jun's army is now outside the city. Although our family also has some private soldiers, it is impossible to drive away Zhu Jun's army. Impossible." The head of the Li family said helplessly.

"That's right, as long as Zhu Jun's army is still there, nothing we can do is useless. Unless we can force Zhu Jun's army away, everything will be empty." The head of the Lin family also echoed.

The Patriarch of the Wang family also understood that although Da Sinong was one of the nine ministers, the prestige of the Han Dynasty had already plummeted after the Yellow Turban Uprising, let alone one of the nine ministers, even if the Sangong came to change the fields in person, it would not be easy. These rich families are the bosses of the place, which is already deeply rooted.

It was Zhu Jun's army that really made Da Sinong dare to do this. If the problem of Zhu Jun's army could not be resolved, then the land exchange agreement would not take long to take effect.

"I have a plan, but I need everyone's cooperation." The head of the Wang family said.

"Tell me quickly." The Patriarchs asked quickly when they heard that they had connections.

"I know a general in Bingzhou. He has thousands of soldiers stationed in Shangjun of Bingzhou. Although this general is not Zhu Jun's opponent, we can pay him to make a false attack on Zuo Fengyi's area and force Zhu Jun to go back to rescue. "

"After Zhu Jun's army returns, Da Sinong will have nothing to do. At that time, after the spring planting is over, even if Da Sinoong wants to promote farming, it may be too late." The Patriarch of the Wang family said in a low voice.

When the others heard the opinion of the Patriarch of the Wang Family, their backs went cold. The thoughts of the Patriarch of the Wang Family were too terrifying. Although they said that the imperial court was in decline, they did not dare to confront the imperial court openly.

"Everyone, everyone must be worried that this matter will implicate you, but I assure you that no one else will know about this matter except everyone here."

"Don't you just watch your family's land being taken away by the court? Not to mention the declining court, even the Han Dynasty before the Yellow Turban Uprising did not dare to force our land. Now the new emperor has just taken power , and leave our group of people behind, there is no guarantee that he will not do more excessive things in the future."

"If you are still lucky, then I will not stop it. The imperial court took half of our land today, and will take all of our land in the future." The Wang family said angrily.

After hearing what the Patriarch of the Wang family said, some Patriarchs agreed. They lost about [-]% of their land in this time of land exchange agreement alone. If they come a few more times, they will be no different from waiting to die.

Afterwards, these Patriarchs signed an agreement, and this matter, after leaving this house, everyone pretended not to know.

Maybe Da Sinong did too much, anyway, this turmoil has been completely formed after this meeting.
