Chapter 259 Feisa
The case is not complicated.

The implementation of land to the tiller requires redistribution of land and distribution of new title deeds.

The ruling class of the Yiyang Kingdom joined forces tacitly to divide up the manor.

However, the King of Kings promulgated the "Homestead Law", so if the ruling class of the Yiyang Kingdom is restrained, at least it should not prevent the serfs from reclaiming the barren wasteland.

But therein lies a contradiction.

The nobles in the city had supplies from divine grace and therefore did not depend on exploiting the serfs.Although the nobles in the city also need servants, this demand for labor is very small.

But the country nobles were different.If there were only manors but no serfs, then the rural nobles would have no choice but to farm their own land - how could this be possible after occupying so much land and farming on their own?
Therefore, after the nobles of the Yiyang Kingdom occupied the manor, they also restricted the personal freedom of the serfs and prevented them from reclaiming wasteland.

However, a minor noble in the Kingdom of Yiyang, who was the vice-minister of education, fell out with other nobles because of this incident.The undersecretary of education publicly criticized the two consuls, the judiciary and the agriculture and pastoral minister.

He even threatened to give a speech in the square the next day, and if it didn't work, he would go to Goethe City (currently the seat of the central government of Dyson Ball World) to report the problem.

However, the next day, the Deputy Minister of Education disappeared.His family reported the case, but the magistrate refused to file a case.The reason is: the Deputy Minister of Education previously claimed that he would go to Goethestadt to report the problem, so he did not disappear, but went to Goethestadt.

The family retorted: The deputy minister of education clearly said that he would give a speech in the square first, and only go to Goethestadt if it didn’t work.What's more, even if the deputy director of education went to Goethe, there was no reason not to inform his family.

Therefore, the family insists that the Deputy Minister of Education is missing.

The magistrate was just perfunctory, saying that the most he could do was to ask the members of the law enforcement team to pay more attention to whether there was any news about the education of the deputy chief.It is impossible to file a case unless the family members can prove that the Deputy Minister of Education did not go to Goethestadt.

The sheriff's statement is actually a paradox.

If the family of the Deputy Minister of Education cannot prove the whereabouts of the Deputy Minister of Education, then the Sheriff will not admit that the Deputy Minister of Education is missing.

And if the family of the deputy director of education can prove that the deputy director of education did not go to Goethe City, then they obviously know the whereabouts of the deputy director of education, and they cannot be counted as missing.

What is even more chilling for the Sheriff's family is that they reported the suspicious case of their relative's disappearance to other officials in the Iyan Kingdom, but no one paid any attention.

After all, there is no way out.

Three days ago, a circuit court came to Yiyang Kingdom.The family of the Undersecretary for Education was overjoyed, and they went to the Assize Court to make a decision.

However, the Circuit Court said: The Circuit Court is not an imperial envoy, but only has the power to hear cases.They have neither the authority nor the ability to investigate the disappearance of the Undersecretary for Education.

In desperation, the family of the Deputy Minister of Education decided to report that the bureaucrats of the Yiyang Kingdom had colluded with each other to divide up the land that was originally planned to be allocated to the serfs of the manor.

The family of the vice-minister of education believes that the disappearance of the vice-minister of education is related to the joint division of land by the nobles. If this case is resolved, the disappearance of the vice-minister of education may be revealed.

However, the trial of the case in the square is not good for the family of the deputy chief of education.

The dossier provided by the agricultural and pastoral officer proves that the land of the manor has been allocated in accordance with the order of the King of Kings that "the tiller shall have the land".And a large number of witnesses who appeared in court were people who did not have noble status but were allocated land.

At this time, Wang Wei curiously asked Luo Yi in a low voice: "It doesn't seem like the family members of the deputy director of education are so angry that they are deceiving. Besides, they have no reason to falsely accuse the nobles of the entire kingdom."

"But the evidence shows that the nobles of the kingdom did not divide the land privately."

"What do you mean by this case?"

Luo Yi guessed an answer to the dossier proving that the land had been allocated to the serfs.

The most typical method of evading taxes and servitude in ancient China was to send false letters.

Guiji is to put one's own land under the name of those who have privileges.

The feudal fiefdom system in the world of Dyson Ball has strong characteristics, so this trick is not easy to use-although fiefdoms have privileges, they are granted to vassals by the emperor.Vassals who acquire land through other means do not have privileges.

Feisa, on the other hand, names the land under the name of the poor and weak households, and obtains the land income themselves, while the poor and weak households bear the tax and labor of the corresponding land.

This time, the vast majority of nobles in the entire kingdom worked together. Perhaps it was not a simple matter of flying and spilling, but a yin-yang contract.

The so-called yin and yang contract means that there are two files.One is the title deed that the land belongs to the serfs, and the land taxes are also based on this file.But the other is a true dossier, and the land belongs to a noble family.

Luo Yi didn't mention the possibility of a Yin-Yang contract, but simply told Wang Wei about Feisa's knowledge.

Wang Wei was surprised.

"Poor and weak civilians still need to pay taxes and labor for land that does not belong to them?"

Luo Yi sighed silently.

"This phenomenon existed in ancient China because of the cowardice and ignorance of the poor and weak households."

"Cowardly, so they gritted their teeth and took as much as the chief food officer said they would pay. No matter how heavy they were, they didn't dare to resist doubts."

"Ignorance means that they don't know how much tax they should pay under normal circumstances, and they don't know that they have borne additional land taxes."

Wang Wei said "Oh" weakly, and then asked: "Then why are there so many witnesses proving that they were indeed allocated land?"

Luo Yi continued to sigh.

"The circuit court can't even be called a cross-river dragon. The circuit court has no investigative power. So what they see is only what the ruling class of the Yiyang Kingdom wants them to see."

"The status of slaves is not exactly the same. There is also an insurmountable chain of discrimination between the servants who serve the nobles in noble families and the serfs who work in the fields."

"Those testimonials have light skin, and they are not serfs who have worked in the fields for a long time. If the judge is willing to examine their palms, I believe they will not find the thick calluses formed by doing farm work on their hands."

"To put it simply, those witnesses are not serfs, but servants of noble families."

Luo Yi thought for a while, and added uncertainly: "...Maybe some of them are citizens. Anyway, they should not be serfs working in the fields."

Wang Wei knocked on Luo Yi's head unhappily, and muttered, "I must have lost my eyesight... You can see the shades of the witnesses' skin, but I can't see them at all."

Women's thinking is too fast.While they were chatting about the case, Wang Wei suddenly became concerned about her vision problem.

The complaints are the ones, but Luo Yi still comforts Wang Wei.

"You have medical nanobots in your body, and medical nanobots will repair whatever is damaged in your body."

Luo Yi said in a reassuring tone: "So you won't be short-sighted at all!"

While Wang Wei was happy, he was also a little puzzled.
