I have a fortune book

Chapter 96

Human nature has a system, and the number of acres owned by a villager cannot exceed [-] acres at most. This is the so-called red line of [-] acres.

The Zhou family was busy developing business before, and it was only at Zhou Bai's request that they added nearly [-] mu, which naturally did not violate the system.

Now that Zhou Bai has been admitted to Juren, the ancestral house has been turned into a red house, and the family has been promoted to the county's wealthy family. Ten thousand mu of fertile land is obviously not enough.

According to the system, as long as the number of acres of land owned by a county tycoon does not exceed [-] acres, it is not considered beyond the family status.

As for the prestige of the county, that is [-] mu of fertile land, and the land of a family can reach some small countries in ancient times.

These regulations are not express regulations, but no family that has lasted for a long time dared to violate them at will.

Because this involves some hidden luck restrictions, if you are a villager and must exceed [-] mu, disaster will await your family.

It may be that the ancestral spirit has suffered disasters and cannot protect the family from then on, or it may be that some descendants of the family are deeply in bad luck and cannot escape.

Once there are many cases, the later families will no longer ask for trouble and break through the limits of luck.

It is estimated that the earliest humane dynasty could not have imagined that land annexation was not prohibited by imperial decree, but that no family dared to violate the hidden restrictions of family style and luck.

"Although the restrictions on mountain fields are indeed not as strict as ordinary farmland, they are still within the framework of the farmland included in the family grid. To be on the safe side, one mu of plain farmland is exchanged for two acres of mountain land. What do you think?" Ji Hongzhe pondered for a while.

Zhou Bai said dissatisfiedly: "According to the plan, our family is currently developing [-] mu of wasteland at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. Wouldn't it mean that we can only exchange for [-] mu of mountain land? Cangshan Mountain is so big, who will keep the land for planting?"

Ji Hongzhe waved his hand and quickly explained: "I mean it's hard to calculate the number of such irregular acres, and no one has a certain number of ten thousand acres of mountain fields reaching the red line.

This is also the reason why many families do not like the special acres of mountain fields and forest fields, and it is impossible to calculate a reasonable conversion number.

If there is less, it is better to cultivate ordinary acres. If there are too many, if the upper limit that the family status can accommodate is exceeded, the living will suffer, and the ancestors will not be able to please.

Seeing that Ji Hongzhe didn't really show any fear, Zhou Bai simply put forward his own thoughts: "Since this is the case, then I won't trade fields for fields, we will develop the fields in Cangshan Mountain ourselves, how about my Zhou family directly buying the right to use Cangshan Mountain? "

"Cangshan is too dangerous, and I don't have the right to approve the right to use it. In this way, I will lease you [-] mu of forest for five years." Ji Hongzhe thought for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise.

Although he wants to be transferred, he can't ignore the bottom line and give people random approvals.

"Can you tell me, what are you thinking about that mountain? It's not a mountain of gold and silver, and you can't grow rice and wheat."

Faced with doubts, Zhou Bai did not explain, but instead remembered the changes in the mountains and rivers in various places after the catastrophe in his previous life.

Almost overnight, the world ushered in an era of spiritual climax, and mountains, rivers and rivers belonged to spiritual nodes, and precious spiritual veins were formed in many places.

Cangshan is one of the largest mountains in Dingzhou, so the concentration of spiritual energy will naturally not be low, and it is also one of the few large spiritual veins in Bei'an County.

It's not the recovery of spiritual energy, but the tide of spiritual energy, because the concentration of spiritual energy in the world is not too low now, and it can support many practitioners.

At that time, Zhou Bai felt that the world was stimulating their potential, so that all creatures could improve their strength.

Cangshan is his starting place, and in the future he will even support an obedient mountain god to control the mountain, otherwise he will not feel at ease.

He is the head of the Zhou family, so even if there are [-] mu of mountain land plus [-] mu of ordinary land, there is no need to worry about exceeding the family limit.

Zhou Bai can rely on the heavenly book of luck to warn in advance, and if there is a backlash, he can also avoid the hidden punishment.

It's just that the world is not in chaos yet, and the Zhou family's occupation of too many acres would be eye-catching, so Zhou Bai couldn't do too much, otherwise he would have started annexing barren fields without restriction.

Then Zhou Bai reminded Ji Hongzhe to be careful to prevent the Jin Kingdom's small army from breaking through Cangshan's defense line, or even a large army pressing the border.

It's just that there is Cangbei County, the military prefecture, in front of it after all, so Ji Hongzhe didn't pay much attention to Zhou Bai's reminder.

But Zhou Bai made a strong request, and he had no choice but to agree, at least coordinating the county soldiers to defend the bitter pass.

Now that the imperial court has not replenished troops to defend there, it is very empty, Ji Hongzhe just wants to seek peace of mind.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Bai took the county guards and headed straight back to Hongni Township, and it only took a few hours to hurry.

The white snow has dyed the red mud that can be seen everywhere into snow white, which makes the red mud village a little more different. It’s just March, and he feels a little bit of nostalgia.

"Da da da~" At this time, a group of cavalry came from a distance, and the orderly sound of horseshoes made it difficult for Zhou Bai to identify who came.

The county soldiers guarding behind Zhou Bai were very nervous, some even drew their knives, they firmly surrounded Zhou Bai in the middle of the team.

However, in Hongni Township, who else can organize such a large number of cavalry forces, except our own people.

"Hey, the cavalry team of the inner palace is here to welcome the palace lord back home!" Zhou Yuan rushed to the horse team with more than [-] horsemen and made a sudden stop, then they all got off their horses and knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

Zhou Baixi smiled and said: "Haha, well, the old style really lived up to my expectations, and trained a cavalry team for me!"

When we left three months ago, there were not many horsemen in the entire village guard team, but now more than [-] decent cavalry can be pulled out.

Zhou Yuan quickly led people to take over Zhou Bai's defense, and then reminded in a low voice: "The old patriarch and the clansmen are coming out of the clan to welcome them, and they are right behind."

"Duke Xie Yuan, since you are safe, let's take our leave first." The captain of the county soldier who escorted him was not angry at being robbed of his position, but heaved a long sigh of relief.

Zhou Bai cupped his hands to express his thanks, and handed Zhou Yuan a purse: "Zhou Yuan, give these brothers a ride for me."

Then, under the escort of his own cavalry, Zhou Bai slowly walked forward for a few miles, and the familiar buildings of the Zhou clan appeared in front of him. Just in time, a group of clansmen squeezed together at the not-so-spacious intersection, waiting for their arrival. The patriarch goes home.

"Welcome the patriarch home!"

"Congratulations to the patriarch Xie Yuan for passing the exam, honoring our ancestors and exalting the prestige of our Zhou clan!" The tidy and loud welcome sound resounded through the sky, and every clansman's face was full of joy.

Even those clan elders who are highly respected and self-reliant in their seniority are full of respect in front of Zhou Bai at this time. They are the well-deserved patriarchs of their Zhou family.

"My Lin'er!" At this moment, an old voice made Zhou Bai unable to hold back any longer, he quickly got off his horse, and staggered a few times to squeeze in front of the crowd.

Zhou Bai supported Zhou Mingxuan, who was becoming more and more aged, and said with half respect and half complaint: "Old patriarch, how dare you bother you to meet me in this icy and snowy place. This makes me feel ashamed to pass the exam and Xie Yuan."

"Okay, okay, Brother Bo, you know that our Zhou family ancestors have been thinking about the county hero for so many years. I didn't expect that I would still be able to see my family today when I was alive."

"With this step, the ancestors of my Zhou family can rest in peace in the ground! Come on, you are back now, let's pay homage to our ancestors together." Zhou Mingxuan wiped his tears excitedly, and dragged Zhou Bai to the family ancestral hall.

"The patriarch is coming home!"

The sound of festive gongs and drums began to sound along the road, and Zhou Bai was surrounded by a large group of people and walked towards the ancestral hall.
