After the first steward of the cabinet office and Xu Li were detained, the government did not take any action. Every day they were either clearing the backlog of government affairs or studying "distributing fields to households."

This is the first major event at the beginning of next year, and it is also a turnaround battle for the northern state capital.

It is not necessary to repay the debt owed, but if there is no improvement in the management of the state capital, it will not be justified.

Except for the two large mountains of Mopan and Huwei, most of the northern territory is flat land, and the occasional hilltops can be ignored.

Although having more land is a good thing, it is a burden for the population currently living in the north.All registered people can only bear three-fifths of the existing land. What will happen to the remaining two-fifths?This is not counting wasteland. There will only be more wasteland, and it will be more difficult to serve.

To protect such a good resource and still owe millions of silver taels is really full of swear words.

"Sir, are you sure you're so sure? With the labor force of this family, I'm afraid they won't be able to grow it!" Mou Haibin reminded softly.

"Dividing fields to households" is related to the field tax for the coming year and the people's rations for the year.If you really force them to be assigned to individuals, something will happen if they don't come through.

When Shen Jue heard this, he said "Hey" and shook his head.

"Since the previous dynasty, the fields here have been controlled by the government, and it has been the same since the establishment of our dynasty. This has created everyone's laziness. Anyway, if you work hard or little, you will have food, so there is no need to go all out. But put It's different when the fields are allocated to them. They have to be responsible for whatever they do, and if they don't work hard, they will go hungry."

"Having said that, if you divide it into so many, you should always be careful of 'just in case'." Mou Haibin reminded again.

He also agreed with Shen Jue's words, and now he was of the same mind as Li Hui.Because of this, I am even more worried, fearing that something will go wrong in the "distribution of fields to households", and it will be Li Hui who will be held accountable.

Li Hui can completely distinguish between procrastination and good intentions.

"Don't worry about Haibin. Now that the army stationed in the North has changed its commander, and the bandits have been wiped out, and the fields are distributed, I believe the people will get better and better. It's okay to worry about them being lazy. At worst, we will have to work harder next spring, and there will be more Go down, take a look, and give them advice. Human potential is infinite, and I don’t think anyone wants to live a good life, unless the person has a brain problem.”

The fields distributed were beyond what the labor force could bear, but this just gave everyone the opportunity to live a prosperous life.

Of course, Li Hui is not worried, otherwise he would not be able to use the "guarantee" system.The system of allocating land was designated by them, but the implementation was carried out by each county government.What they need to do is to inspect and supervise to ensure that there are no mistakes in spring plowing and autumn harvest. Otherwise, if the field tax cannot be collected, someone who guarantees it will be responsible.

He had drawn up the system long before the land was divided. Now that the time was ripe and it was laid out on the table, Mou Haibin and Shen Jue read it and immediately had no objections.

Soon, the "farm distribution to each household" and the "guarantee system" were promulgated.

The prefectural city and the county offices are very busy, especially the county offices.They have to follow the documents issued by the government and confirm the population and land within the county under their jurisdiction.

It was not until this moment that the county magistrates fully understood why the newly appointed magistrates had taken them to each village and town to do statistics. It was originally for this purpose.

Since taking office with the gold medal Ling Jian, the county magistrates have been wondering about Li Hui's background.Then the commander of the garrison in the North was replaced, and the bandits in Mopanshan were wiped out. It became clearer who to listen to.No matter how good the Marquis is, he is far away in the capital, so they have to listen to Li Fuyin.

Three days later, all counties issued a unified official document on "distributing farmland to households."There are people who readily agree, and there are people who are bitter and resentful.

After all, I have been dawdling around for so many years, and it doesn't matter even if I don't have enough to eat, I'm not tired anyway.But dividing the land is different. Not only are you responsible, but you also have to pay land tax, which is even worse in case of a disaster.Especially if all the relief food this year is distributed, everyone can have a prosperous year.

There were different voices for a while, and it was very lively, but no matter whether everyone agreed or disagreed, "dividing fields to households" was imperative and it was impossible to think about it.

After Li Hui had dealt with his biggest worry at the beginning of the year, he was ready to start cleaning up the cabinet shop and Shan family.But before he could take any action, Shan Chen's wife immediately gave him a "big clue".

Looking at the box of yellow and orange stuff in front of him, Li Hui knocked on the table twice without saying a word. Dexi behind him stepped forward to refill the tea, and then went out carrying the teapot.

Cheng Xue didn't speak the whole time. She could sit here only because Mrs. Xu came to see Li Hui. It was inconvenient for him to receive her alone, so at this moment she just acted as a background without having to look for a sense of presence.

After a long time, Mrs. Xu realized something was wrong and hurriedly stood up and said:

"The civilian woman suddenly remembered that she has something else to do at home, so I won't disturb you for now. This box was donated by the civilian woman on behalf of the Shan family to the people in the north for the Chinese New Year. Could you please Mr. Li to hand it over on my behalf?"

The conversation suddenly changed. Li Hui was not surprised. Instead, the old god knocked on the table and said quietly:

"Madam Shan's change of mouth now shows that you are not stupid. Since you are not stupid, don't you understand that donations from merchants go to the government office, not the government office's back house?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she sighed and said calmly:

"Since Mr. Li said so, the common woman will stop beating around the bush. As long as you let my brother go, this gold will have the surname Li, no second surname. The common woman also guarantees that the Shan family and the Xu family will leave the northern prefecture immediately, and be alone. Leave alone. As for what the Fan family has done, as long as you need it, the women, husbands, and brothers will come to the court to testify without any complaints. I wonder if Mr. Li can make it easier? "

Li Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up a piece of gold, played with it for a moment, and asked:
"Can you be Shan Chen's master?"

"Back to Mr. Li, the reason why the civilian woman brought these things here today is because of her husband's instructions."

"In that case, please let Madam Shan tell us about what the Fan family has done. I don't want to waste time, and I believe you also want to stay away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible."

Mrs. Xu put down her tea cup and started directly from Shan Chen's cousin.Bai Wei once checked that one of Shan Chen's cousins ​​was married to a branch of Su Hou. In fact, there was no such thing. It was Su Hou who fell in love with Fan Chengfang's wife, Shan Chen's biological sister.

In order to find a supporter for himself, Fan Chengfang, and Shan Chen also wanted to find a talisman for himself, the two of them worked together to send Shan to Suhou's bed.As for Fan Chengfang, an orphan girl whose parents died was placed in the house to replace the Shan family. Over the years, the servants in the family have changed one after another, and no one knows what Mrs. Fan looks like.

Mrs. Xu was still talking about the shameful deeds of the Fan family and the Shan family, and Cheng Xue was furious when she heard that.But when he heard that Shan was taken to the capital by Su Hou, he felt that his outlook on life was completely shattered.

This... this is worse than the bloody family ethics drama at [-] o'clock.

Don't you say, "A loyal minister will not serve two masters, and a virtuous woman will not marry two husbands"?What's going on with Shan?
