Land annexation is the inevitable result of feudal economic development. Shen Rui read history very clearly in his previous life, but there was no dynasty or generation in feudal society that could truly curb land annexation.

When Shouge started to clear the land of Zhangzhang in Liaodong, he also investigated the royal family, relatives, and nobles who occupied the land of officials and people, deceived the land of hidden taxes, and then carried out the investigation of military land at the local level. Shen Rui did not hold a 100% supportive attitude.

But now it is his turn to take charge. Dengzhou, a place with mountains and fields, is really at the point where it cannot be investigated.

Food is the lifeline. As long as the fields are in the hands of a large family like Wei Yuanwai, it is equivalent to jamming Dengzhou's neck. Even if Dengzhou has opened its seas and has money, it will not be guaranteed that the world has been in short supply in the past two years, and there is nowhere to go.

The situation of buying grain.

Another thing that Shen Rui could not know before he went to Shandong to investigate was that the land system in Shandong was extremely chaotic.

In the Ming Dynasty, the official stipulated that five feet are one step (bow), and two hundred and forty steps are one acre. Not only do the bow rulers used to measure the land in different places in Shandong vary greatly, but even the number of bows per unit acre is different, let alone the one acre in this county and the other.

The area of ​​a county is completely different, and even the ones in the same prefecture and county may be far apart.

This was not intentional by a family of two prominent families in Shandong, but by historical reasons.

As early as the "Qi Min Yaoshu" written by Jia Sijie of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was said that one large acre of Qi land is equivalent to more than two acres in other areas.

The tax law on the square field at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the coexistence of large and small acres caused by immigration and land reclamation in the early Ming Dynasty, aggravated the chaos in the acre system and gradually became a stubborn disease.

Shen Rui is not the pioneer of reform, but if he wants to mobilize the enthusiasm of Dengzhou people to grow grain, want more grain flow on the Dengzhou market, and want to further promote the cultivation of good varieties and recipes, it is bound to solve the fundamental problems of these lands.

of.

Dengzhou is still a good place for the Qing Dynasty, because there is no large family in this area that has become a climate.

Only one Cong family is considered a family of officials. Not to mention the friendship between Cong Lan and Shen Rui, but only said that Cong Lan is now trusted by the emperor and sent to Yansui to clean up the military farm. His family supported the Qingzhang land and did not have time to do so.

Drag the leg!

As for the product like Wei Yuanwai, it is really nothing.

Now this guy is hitting the gun and is trying to jump around. Shen Rui has just done it for him to deal with him.

Shen Rui didn't care, but others didn't have such a tough background, so they were afraid.

The meeting over there was a scattered, and Ding Tongzhi was still a little confused and followed Shen Rui happily, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

"This, this, sir... Wei Chunlai, is he climbing up a noble relative?" After entering the study of the prefect's mansion, Ding Tongzhi still looked nervous. Seeing that there were no outsiders on both sides, he whispered: "Sir, sir, sir, whispered: "Sir,

I expected that the land where Wei Chun came could not refer to how many of them were Zhang Buzheng's envoy."

I don’t know how much it bought under the guise of a governor. Shen Rui complained in his heart, spread his hands on his face and said, “We don’t know it since he didn’t write it on the contract, and we will never recognize it.”

Ding Tongzhi was left with only a cold breath and advised for a while: "Sir, you are the first time you come to Shandong, so it's better to keep a favor for the first time."

He thought to himself that this little prefect is still young and energetic. If you pretend not to know, then you will be done? Even if Zhang Ji pinched his nose and accepted it, wouldn't he give you little shoes in the future?

That's the right governor. Isn't it easy to cause trouble for a prefect?

He used to think that being with a young and promising boss who was hard on the backstage was lucky enough to have smoke from his ancestral grave.

Seeing the little prefect seeking progress, his heart, an old official, became active.

The fifth grade is a hurdle, and it will be difficult for many people to reach this point. If he follows this little prefect, he might have stepped over this hurdle in one step, and the sky will be wide from now on!

But unexpectedly, the black smoke coming out of this ancestral tomb is going to burn.

If the governor and the yamen were thrown over with a pair of small shoes, would the magistrate wear it alone? He couldn't escape either. The magistrate still had a good father-in-law, but he didn't!

He thought too much and too long for a moment, so he became anxious, feeling that his mouth was about to burst into buzz.

Shen Rui was still alive and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Lord Ding, this mansion has a proper position. Tomorrow, Lord Ding just takes some procedures and asks Master Jiang and Master Da Yu to take people to check the land of several other families in the Wei family."

"My lord think twice... even if you want to check, will you slow down? You also listened, Wei Chunlai had already written a letter to the General Administration and the Ministry of Education, and waited for ten days and half a month, without delaying it.

Nothing, so as not to be caught off guard if there is any movement. Ding Tongzhi advised him with great sincerity.

What he said was just right and indeed good.

But Shen Rui seemed to be determined and smiled and said, "No problem. Lord Ding, after you leave the procedures, you will have to continue to work hard on the matter in this city."

Ding Tongzhi sighed inwardly. Seeing that Shen Rui changed the topic to urban construction, he didn't say much, and quickly smiled and said, "This is the duty of the officials."

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and asked, "Will those people in the prison mention the water village to repair the dock and harbor today?"

That day, no less than a hundred people were caught. They were all routine offenders and were usually rampant in the village. They didn’t say anything and did everything they did, but they also harmed the people a lot.

The rectification of local public security issues was already on Shen Rui's schedule, but now the first priority is to seize food.

I didn't expect that these guys would be brave enough to be ambitious and dare to fight against the government after taking the money. It was just a matter of being a little worse than rebellion. This is no longer just a simple repair.

Shen Rui wouldn't throw them into the black prison and raise their steamed buns in white, isn't they food?! The food in Dengzhou cannot be so wasted.

There are construction everywhere in and outside the city. Throwing such strong laborers into the black prison is a huge waste of resources!

Labor reform is the excellent answer! Labor reform, everything goes away from labor reform, and you can leave wherever you are tired!

So at that time, Shen Rui had already issued an order to dig sand to repair the harbor and dock.

These people are all gangsters, rascals, and they are not those beggars who have no fathers, mothers, and no home. They basically have family members, and most of them have some family backgrounds, and their families rely on them to protect them outside by being overbearing and overbearing.

It costs delicious and spicy food.

Many of them are also regular customers in prison, and many of them are familiar with each other. As long as they send money in, they will still eat fat chickens and ducks in prison.

So this time they were imprisoned, and many of their families were already skilled in handling prison guards.

Then I heard that this time the matter was serious and I wanted to send them to work hard work.

The family was panicked and began to give gifts, but they didn't even break the door of several adults in the government office, and they couldn't help but feel even more panicked.

Ding Tongzhiyuan is also famous. He often gives him great gifts, but he accepts them with a smile. If he fights, as long as he doesn't commit suicide, he turns a blind eye and never offends others.

But this time, Ding Tongzhi's door was also closed tightly.

How could they know that Ding Tongzhi was so itchy that he could not hold the white silver in his pocket.

However, these people came out and fought against the prefect. Ding Tongzhi had been thinking about following the new prefect before, so he naturally would not pay attention to these rascal family members.

But now, the little magistrate ran out to clear the father-in-law... Who knows how long can the little magistrate last? If the governor blames him, the little magistrate can still be promoted by his father-in-law's butt. What should he do?

He wanted to move a place to find a way, but he didn't know how much money he wanted to get some money. He might as well get back with more money now.

"The officials were thinking that Master Chen said he wanted to expand the roads and clear the rivers, and to build more streets and shops. Although these things are kind to the adults, they should work for the young and strong in the city.

The opportunity to get food, but digging trenches and laying foundations is a chore. Did you let the people in the prison do it first? Leave it lighter and leave it to the good people?" Ding Tongzhi looked like he was completely considering the construction of the city.

.

Digging sand and repairing harbors is a very good job. Not to mention the tiring of people, it is enough to be skinless. But if you change to the work in the city, you will be very tired no matter how hard you do it.

So I can squeeze oil and water out from the house of those scammers.

As early as when Shen Rui returned to the government office to wash clothes, he heard Zhang Chenglin briefly report on what happened recently.

He didn't need to deliberately stare at Ding Tongzhi and Lin Tongzhi, who were like the Han family, and there were so many gods. The prefect, Tongzhi, and Tongzhi all lived in the official house behind the government office, and they were servants.

There are many whispers between them.

Moreover, Ding Tongzhi's greed for money has not been a day or two, and he had a deep understanding of it as early as the Lu family's first dealing with him.

However, although this person is greedy for money, he is not confused. He is very talented and knows how to stand in line. Otherwise, he would not have surrendered to Shen Rui early.

The most important thing is that he still has a bottom line and will not do anything to harm the people against his conscience for money. Shen Ruibian has nothing tolerated.

Shen Rui smiled and said, "I will give this to Lord Ding in full, so you will suffer."

Ding Tongzhi hurriedly said that he was not working hard, and praised Shen Rui for his compassion for the people and for a while.

Shen Rui waited patiently for him to finish praising with a kind smile, and then said, "But the work on the beach is as heavy as it is, and someone will always have to take the lead."

Ding Tongzhi smiled and said, "Just because of this, no one appreciates the things that are too easy to do, so they should suffer a lot. When they ask for it, they reluctantly agreed. If they don't say the money doubled, they will be grateful."

.

The little prefect is well aware of this and is also one of us.

Ding Tongzhi immediately chanted like a tide, and praised it for a long time without any repetition, but he thought to squeeze out more oil and water, and the prefect must be respected.

After a while, Master Jiang and Shen Rui's team of staff had arrived outside. Ding Tong knew the knowledge and was tactful, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

After someone else left the yard, Master Chen then smiled bitterly at Shen Rui and said softly: "This Lord Ding... is all right next to him, but this person who likes yellow and white things..."

"Who thinks that silver bites his hands?" Shen Rui laughed, and handed over the teacup to Master Chen himself, saying, "I've worked hard these days."

Mr. Chen hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked Shen Rui. Because Dengzhou is the base camp of the Lu family and the Yilu Network is also the most dense and best-paved place, news is sent from the government office to Shen Rui almost every day.

, Mr. Chen has nothing to report on.

Master Jiang, Master Yu, and Master Yu came in to greet each other, sat down to drink tea, and waited for Zhang Chenglin, Tian Shun, Lu Shiliulang and other confidants to discuss the next step of construction in Dengzhou.

"The land of Qingzhang is planned and divided into several batches. The four families of Wei, Zhao, Lu and Han are here first. Especially the Han family, go and say hello." Shen Rui finished speaking and looked at Lu

Sixteen Lang.

Lu Shiliulang responded and said, "The Han family understands everything, and will do their best to cooperate with the adults."

Most of the Lu family's capital is invested on ships, and the rest is mainly shops. Dengzhou's so-called fertile land is far worse than Songjiang. The Lu family really looks down on it and doesn't buy much land.

Of course, even if there are not many hidden things, the good land will be recorded as bad land. When Shen Rui decided to clear the land of the millennium, he naturally told the Lu family.

Mr. Lu Qi said that he would not deal with the land, and only left it to Shen Rui. He was punished and lost face. The Lu family admitted that he would not let go of the land of his family, his in-laws, and his confidant family, so that Lord Shen seemed fair and selfless.
