Chapter 110 - Assassination!

"My lord, my lord! Good news!"

Xiang Yu was leading Zhang Daniu to practice martial arts in the backyard at this time, but he could only hear Zhuge Liang's excited voice.

Xiang Yu signaled Zhang Daniu to continue practicing, while he himself went to check.

"What good news? Sir so excited?" Xiang Yu asked as he walked out of the courtyard.

"Huhu, Your Majesty, the affairs of Yuzhang have been settled! Basically all the families and nobles involved have been involved! There are quite a lot of land in each of the counties." Although Zhuge Liang was panting heavily, he was Said happily.

"Hahaha! Good! I didn't expect Puyu to be so quick. It's only been more than half a month, and they managed to get rid of that group of people!" Xiang Yu laughed and said.

"Tch! Meng Gong is the man who smashed the three Jiang brothers into pulp with his own hands just for a word. Who dares to disobey such a murderer? Unless he really doesn't want to die!" Zhuge Liang complained in his heart. .

But he still said: "Yes! Your Majesty, this is the ledger and property of those aristocratic families."

Xiang Yu should let Zhuge Liang read it to himself.Although Xiang Yu didn't understand everything, but with a literate person like Zhuge Liang by his side, it was useless.

"This time, a total of 840 aristocratic families were searched, with a population of [-]..."

After Zhuge Liang finished reading, Xiang Yu was also taken aback by Meng Gong's achievements.Of course, what surprised Xiang Yu even more was that these fifteen noble families actually owned nearly [-] mu of land.

You know, this is not a small amount. If it was put in Xiang Yu's previous life, the [-] mu of land would be as big as a small county town! Even if it is put in now, it might be as big as Wu County.

"Hmm! Not bad! What about people from these aristocratic families?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Well! According to the king's order, all the males have been killed, and all the females have been used as house slaves." Zhuge Liang told the truth.

"Okay! Now there is a total of [-] mu of land. Don't be afraid that the people will have nothing to eat!"

In fact, Xiang Yu was really ruthless in the eyes of outsiders when he wiped out all the men in the family.But only Xiang Yu knows that if these aristocratic families are not intimidated, they will stab themselves sooner or later, and isn't there a famous saying in the previous life?When the spring breeze blows, it grows again, and the grass must be cut by the roots!
Moreover, the Yuzhang Rebellion this time is also an excellent opportunity to suppress the aristocratic family.After all, he is a well-known teacher, so the matter was left to Meng Gong to handle.No matter how dissatisfied the aristocratic family is, they dare not stand up and say anything.

Whoever dares to stand up and bump into the muzzle of this gun is really desperate! After all, in Jiangdong now, the Chu army is covering the sky with one hand, who dares to fart?Those who dare to make trouble will wait for the Chu army's white knives to come in and red knives to come out.

"Well! These lands are scattered all over the counties and counties in Jiangdong, and the distribution is vast. It just meets the reform plan!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile on his face.

"Okay! You draft the document immediately! Let the governors of each county tell me how to control these lands first, and then notify the people to go to the government territory to plant. As for taxes, just collect them according to the previous plan!" Xiang Yu said immediately.

"Okay! I'll go right away!" Zhuge Liang hurried to the meeting hall immediately, and according to Xiang Yu's instructions, he drafted documents and handed them over to the sheriffs of each county.

…………

Soon, the six counties in Jiangdong started a wave of land division.The so-called land distribution is actually more like people renting land from the government.But its price is cheap.As long as three taels of silver, you can get half an acre of land, and six taels of silver, you can get one mu of land.People who have no money can also cultivate land, but they have to pay 30.00% income tax.The rich people only need to pay 15.00% of the tax, and Xiang Yu naturally gave this system a name-payment and rent sharing system.

After the people learned of this, they went to various places to rent land.You must know that the taxes in the Qin Dynasty reached as much as half of the income.Moreover, since the war, most of the land in Jiangdong has been in the hands of aristocratic families, and there are very few people who have land to plant.And the aristocratic families naturally also developed rents from the common people.But its taxes are too heavy, and there is no one else who can be self-sufficient.Now, you only need to pay two-tenths of the tax, how can you not be happy?In just three days, more than 100 mu of land was rented out by the people of Jiangdong, and the Chu army's treasury also received almost [-] million taels of silver.

Later, more than 1 people were unable to rent land. After Xiang Yu heard the news, he also reformed overnight and changed the original maximum rent of one acre to half an acre per household.As for the extra money paid by the people, Xiang Yu immediately promised to register it in a register and replenish the land to everyone in the future.

After the people have land to cultivate, don't mention how happy they are.They also agreed to the government's request.All of a sudden, people everywhere in Jiangdong spread the merits of Xiang Yu and the Chu army again.

However, just as the people everywhere in Jiangdong were immersed in joy.But a group of people couldn't be happier.This group of people is naturally the head of the aristocratic family.

At this time, in Lujiang County, Zhang Mansion.

"His grandma! What the hell is this Yu doing? Is he crazy? An acre of land costs three taels of silver a year and he only receives less than two-tenths of the tax?" Zhang Hui, the head of the Zhang family, complained.

"Yes! In the past few days, there have been countless people who have come to retreat the land. The hundreds of acres of land under my control are almost returned to my hands as they are! Do you think Xiang Yu will gain money by doing this?"

"That's it, how about we unite and fight Xiang Yu together?"

However, as soon as the person's words fell, he was hit on the back of the head
"Fuck! Third Lei? Why did you hit me!?"

"Fourth Huang, let me tell you, are you an old birthday star who ate arsenic—lived too long? Haven't you heard what happened to the Jiang family?"

"Yeah! Old Huang, I didn't say that you still dare to fight against Xiang Yu? This time, the Chu army is famous! Even the Jiang family, Ji family and other powerful families were defeated by Xiang Yu.

With your little family property, is it worth the nobles of the Six Kingdoms?I still want to unite and go to you. I heard that in Yuzhang County now, the patriarchs of those aristocratic families are obedient to Meng Gong.They are all called Meng Gong Huo Hades!If you want to rebel, you go, anyway, I will not participate! "

Immediately, several people started to quarrel.

"That's enough! How decent are you guys! Before you fight, you're in a mess!" It was the old man sitting on the main seat in the hall who spoke.

When they saw the old man's words, they didn't dare to say anything.Only then did they sit down peacefully.

"Brother, is this the end of the matter?" The person who was called Huang Lao Si asked immediately.

The old man smiled treacherously and said: "How could it be so? Even if he is famous as Master Xiang Yu, so what? It won't work, let's do it secretly!"

"Ah? Big Brother, why is it so dark?" Several people asked in unison.

I saw a flash of cruelty in the old man's eyes, and then he said two words expressionlessly - assassination!

 There are only two changes today, and Chao Xiao really can't make it out!thanks for your support!
