The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 23: Going North to Explore the Land
Zhou Da had a lot of complacency on his face, and he said with a smile: "The land of the prince's mansion, those good paddy fields, are unlikely to be given to you, but those wilderness fields don't have much harvest all year round, let alone let people take care of them." So, it costs a lot of procedures, but it can be sold to you.

Those cumbersome things, no one will say anything if they sell them to you.As for paddy fields, they can be leased to you for cultivation, but they cannot be sold to you.

However, your household registration is a problem. Now you are using the road guide of the palace. How should the land deed be formulated?Those of us who are in charge, have a lot of land in our hands, but all of them are under the name of the palace. Those of us are registered in the palace, so naturally we don't need any land deeds. "

Zhou Da didn't lie to Sun Jie either. Ordinary people buying land in this era need to report to the government, re-establish the land deed, and re-draw the fish scale book, and the fish scale book is the tax payment certificate.

When those landlords and gentry accept donations, they must also report to the government, and the tax land of the donated owner farmers will be crossed out from the government's fish scale book.

The crossing out of the land means that the land has become a hidden land and has disappeared from the court's books, and there is no need to pay taxes to the court from then on.

And the household registration of those common people will also be crossed out from the government's yellow book and become a hidden population.

Sun Jie has no household registration, and temporarily uses the road guide of the palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to buy land without a household registration.

As for those juren lords, they are the landlord class, and the land is counted separately.

In other words, it is not possible for Sun Jie to buy his own land now unless the household registration issue is resolved.

Is it difficult to solve the household registration problem?After Sun Chuanting left, he could still get a household registration with money.

However, Sun Jie still does not want to separate his household registration.

If the household registration is independent, without fame and fame, and not a privileged class of the imperial court, the fate will only be worse.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if a person had no fame and fame, no matter how big his net worth was, he was just duckweed on the water, and he was just a fat pig in the eyes of officials.

Blackmail by subordinate officials, intimidation by street gangsters, and crowding out by market thugs.
No relationship, no identity, no status, in this era of cannibalism is the original sin.

If you have no identity, just an ordinary businessman, no matter how big your net worth is, it will not be worth a word from those officials.

The county magistrate who ruined his family and Fuyi who destroyed his family have never been empty words.

Sun Jie was able to open a shop to sell sugar in the Xi'an Mansion, and the name of Prince Qin's Mansion helped a lot.

If he really used his name, he might be targeted by red-eyed people the next day, and within a few days, someone would come to blackmail him or ask for the source of the sugar.

If you don't give it, all kinds of means will fly over.

Therefore, the name Qinwang Mansion is still very useful in Xi'an Mansion.Sun Jie didn't want to throw it away yet.

"It's okay to buy land or something, it's not a good time to buy land now, there's a lot of chaos, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

I would like to ask, in Yaozhou and Fuping, does the palace have land?I heard that there are countless lands in the palace, so I want to ask! "Sun Jie said with a natural face, without any superfluous expression on his face.

Zhou Da patted his thigh, and said in a high voice: "If you want to say who is the most luxurious in the world today, besides the royal family, it is Luoyang's Fuwang and Weihui's Luwang.

However, the foundation of the two of them is too shallow, how can they compare with the palace that has been passed down for more than two hundred years?Half of the fertile land in Xi'an Mansion is the property of the royal mansion.I'm not talking nonsense, in the whole of Shaanxi, which prefecture doesn't have the real estate of the royal mansion?

Not to mention Shaanxi, the whole of Daming, from south to north, from east to west, has the business of the palace. "

This is true. The most powerful land annexation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was the "children of the Zhu family". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Jiangnan scholar Wang Price wrote in his book "Zhongzhou Zazu": Only Yu Fangcao, Wang Sunlu, did not enter Zhumendi Zijia.

Volume 34 of "Ming Shenzong Shilu" records a memorial to Emperor Shenzong presented by Kong Zhen, the inspector of Sichuan Province, in May of the [-]th year of Wanli. Arrived at Peng Shiyi Prefecture County to open weirs and irrigate fields, so it was named Yan. Today, there are seventeen in the royal residence, two in the army, and only one in the folk."

In other words, the Shu Palace alone occupies 70.00% of the most fertile land irrigated by Dujiangyan in the Chengdu Plain.

The first king of Qin was at least one of the "Nine Great Sailors" and the son of Zhu Yuanzhang. How could his family be inferior to that of the King of Shu?
Zhou Da, as the manager of the field, naturally knows how big the property of the Wangfu is.

He looked proud, as if the property belonged to him.

"It's just that there are bandits in the north, and there have been droughts there in recent years, all the tenants have fled to famine, and no one has cleaned up. Many lands are only on the register and have not been visited for a long time.

In fact, the core of the palace is the paddy fields around Xi'an Prefecture, and the paddy fields along the Weihe River in Weinan Prefecture to the east.

As for other places, that's the case! "

Zhou Da's voice was much calmer. He looked at Sun Jie and said with a smile: "Why are you not interested in those paddy fields, but instead asked about those dry lands that are worthless and few people even look after them?"

"Wangfu paddy fields, this is the foundation of the Wangfu, how can I intervene as an outsider?

I, Sun Jie, don't have such big ambitions, a little dry land is enough. As for the tenants who cultivate, there are refugees everywhere now, are you afraid that there will be no manpower? ! "Sun Jie laughed, saying half-truths and half-false words.

"Hahaha, brother Sun is interesting, really interesting. I want those dry lands instead of the ready-made paddy fields, and what are you talking about recruiting refugees." Zhou Da laughed presumptuously and loudly.

The laughter gradually subsided, and he said with a little contempt: "Recruiting refugees? Where does the food come from? Where does the money come from? Where do the bricks and tiles to build the house come from?

It is just some dry land with no output, and the income is far from being worth the input.

Most of the refugees are rogues, how to take care of them?Aren't you afraid of being robbed of food and wasting money?

From this point of view, Brother Sun has indeed never been in contact with farming, otherwise he would not have said these words. "

"Don't worry about whether I understand farming or not, just say if it's okay, if it's okay, then make the decision, if not, then say it's not okay!" Sun Jie looked impatient on purpose.

Zhou Da hurriedly said: "All right, all right, why not? I happen to have the fish scale books in Yaozhou and Fuping counties. They are all old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I haven't looked through them for a long time. I will send them to you tomorrow."

After finalizing the matter, Sun Jie didn't stay with Zhou Da any longer, and sent him out of the gate halfway.

Zhou Da walked on the way back, humming a ditty, his mood was so beautiful.

Some of the dry lands that have not been cultivated for a long time, the palace doesn't even bother to take care of them. After so many years of banditry in the north, coupled with the drought, expecting those fields to produce food is simply a dream.

Throwing those fields to Sun Jie won't make any achievements, and it has nothing to do with his age. If he can make achievements, it will be even better, and he can get benefits from it.

What is it called?This is called spending money from the Prince's Mansion and using your own relationship.

As for why Sun Jie chose those dry lands, what does this have to do with Zhou Da?Anyway, the land is not your own, and there are still benefits, so why care so much?

Thinking of that bright night pearl, Zhou Da couldn't help being excited, and hummed even louder.

When Sun Jie returned to the backyard, Chen Hu asked suspiciously, "Sir, why don't you want those good paddy fields, but want those worthless dry land?"

"Shuitian, that is the foundation of the palace, if there is a slight disturbance, it will alert the palace and cause unnecessary trouble.

Those dry lands are far away from the palace, and because no one has cultivated them for so many years, the palace has already abandoned them. We went there, but hung them under the palace, similar to our own.

When the time comes to recruit refugees and so on, you can come as you want, without so many restrictions, and not so many people to guard!
Of course, there are more considerations on my part, and you will understand these in the future."

Sun Jie stood under the yard in the back hall, looking at the sun with his hands behind his back, suddenly relaxed a lot.

Chen Hu didn't quite understand, so he didn't ask any more questions, and obeyed Sun Jie step by step.

Zhou Da was really trustworthy, and brought over the fish scale albums from Yaozhou and Fuping counties the next afternoon.

This fish scale book is the palace's own fish scale book. Those tenants do not pay taxes to the court, but they have to pay the rent to the palace. This fish scale book is the proof of rent collection.

There is a lot of land on the fish scale book. Yaozhou and Fuping counties add up to more than 1000 mu, Fuping more than 600 mu, and Yaozhou more than 400 mu.

These lands are basically located in remote places far away from the county seat. Looking at the descriptions and pictures on the fish scale books, one can tell that they are some wilderness mountains.

No wonder Zhou Da is so happy, they are all junk.

Having said that, in Sun Jie's eyes, it was pretty good.

The Wangfu's land over there is more than that, but Zhou Da thinks that this land is enough, more than 1000 mu of land is enough to toss.

If you have the land, you have to go and have a look.

Today, most of the thieves in Shaanxi have been wiped out, Li Zicheng was beaten and slipped into Shangluo Mountain, Liu Guoneng surrendered to the imperial court in Henan immediately, Zhang Xianzhong is now attacking Nanyang, but he is about to be defeated by Zuo Liangyu.

There are only a small group of rogues left in Shaanxi, basically concentrated in Heshui, Chengcheng and Qingyang.

There is no need to worry too much about going out of Xi'an Mansion to Yaozhou and Fuping.

But the world is chaotic, and you still have to be prepared when you go out.

In the next few days, Sun Jie retraces the faded lines on the Fish Scale Book, went to Hyundai to copy and backed up some, and bought some self-defense guys along the way.

Dozens of homemade bombs have been prepared, as well as some homemade Molotov cocktails.

Time is tight, and it is only for self-defense, these are enough.

After getting ready, Sun Jie closed the shop, gave Wang Bi a few days off, bought a mule cart, took Chen Hu, Zhao Dading and Liang Wu and three people, and hurried on the road.

After leaving Xi'an Mansion, Sun Jie didn't rush on his way, and went to the village where he met Zhou Da first.

The few boxes of dry food and weapons are still buried there, so we have to dig them out first.

The mule cart was walking on the dilapidated official road. It was already May, and the weather was much better than before.

When leaving the city gate, the interrogation was a little more relaxed than before.

There were several boxes with dirt on the mule cart, which contained the dry food that Sun Jie had brought earlier.

In addition, some boxes containing homemade bombs and homemade Molotov cocktails were placed on the mule cart.

Homemade bombs are simple to make. Fill the can with black powder and small steel balls, and then insert the fuze.

As for cans, Sun Jie runs a supermarket, and he has as many as he wants.

As for black powder, Sun Jie's supermarket also sells fireworks and firecrackers. If you take apart these fireworks, you will have black powder.

Molotov cocktails are simpler, beer bottles, alcohol or gasoline, as much as you want.

For safety reasons, the combustion bottles in the box are separated by foam to prevent the bottles from breaking due to bumps.

These things were obtained by Sun Jie after leaving the city, so there was no need to be afraid of being inspected by the guards.

The sun was high, the official roads were dilapidated, and the mule carts were moving slowly.

Sun Jie was sitting on the mule cart, holding a bottle of mineral water.

Chen Hu walked in the front with Mo Dao in his hand, his eyes were like falcons, constantly scanning his surroundings.

Zhao Dading, with Tang Hengdao hanging from his waist, sat on the shaft of the cart and drove the mules.

Liang Wu held a seedling knife and walked at the back of the mule cart, and the group walked forward like this.

The further north you go, the more deserted the fields on both sides of the official road become.

There is no source of irrigation water, years of drought, no crops can be grown, only some scorched weeds.

"Only Yu Fangcao Wang Sunlu will not enter the home of the rich family's emperor's son!"

Sun Jie let out a long sigh and took a sip of mineral water.

The mule cart creaked forward, and the sound of the axles rubbing against each other made one's teeth sore.

The road became narrow, and some low earthen walls appeared on both sides.

The deeper you go, the higher the mound.

"Cheer up, the terrain here is unfavorable, the world is in chaos, and you may encounter bandits!"

Sun Jie shouted to remind everyone.

Everyone slowed down and looked around vigilantly.

While walking, a tree trunk suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, [-] meters ahead.

Chen Hu stopped and clenched the Mo Dao in his hand.

"Second, stop the car and follow me to have a look!"

Shouting without looking back, Zhao Dading jumped off the shaft and drew out Tang Hengdao.

The two walked forward cautiously, and Liang Wu also came to Sun Jie's side, holding the Miao Dao tightly in his hand.

A tree trunk doesn't appear out of nowhere in the middle of the road, especially in this terrain.

Sun Jie opened the box containing the homemade bomb behind him, took out a can with his right hand, held a lighter in his left hand, and looked ahead vigilantly.

"Wow wow wow!"

A few crows flew across the sky, their cries piercing.

The two held their breaths and finally came to the tree trunk.

There was no disturbance in the first time, but the trunk was the center, and began to scout in the distance.

The surroundings were silent, except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing over the weeds on the earthen wall, there seemed to be no other movement.

"No, something is wrong here!"

Chen Hu looked at a nearby earthen wall and said vigilantly.

The earth wall is not very high, about five meters, and standing on the road, the top cannot be seen.

The wall has been eroded by rain or strong wind all the year round, so logically speaking, it should have an irregular shape, but the earthen wall in front of Chen Hu looks a little smooth, as if someone was climbing up and down here.

"Swish!"

Some clods of soil fell from the top of the wall, and then a figure appeared on it, and Chen Hu's eyes widened.

　Thank you for the reward from Changsheng Tianchao, thank you for the dried sweet potatoes in winter, the wind and snow are all over the sky, the married man is 0900, I have traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, the wind and snow are all over the sky, book friend 20181024113104106, I voted for the monthly ticket, thank you for the moon, the mountain is like this, follow it Thank you for your support! ! !
