Chapter 882

Go to the county, you must go! Ye Chunsheng made up his mind that he not only wanted to sign an agreement with the Jinyiwei to plant the imperial field, but also wanted to return his daughter. Because his daughter was a maid from the Ye Mansion, he was also taken away by the Jinyiwei yesterday. But the Jinyiwei, the official of the Jinyiwei, spoke, and the slave maid from the Ye Mansion, could be released as long as he did not do evil, and restored his freedom and become a good citizen.

Ye Chunsheng set out from the village early in the morning and walked for a whole morning. He arrived at the county town at noon.

This is the first time Ye Chunsheng has come to the county town. After all, an ordinary farmer back then had no relatives and friends in the city. Who can go so far to the county town? So he has never been to the county town since he was a child.

When he arrived at the city gate, he asked a guard. The soldier told him in great enthusiasm and detail how to go to the county government office.

According to the soldiers' instructions, Ye Chunsheng found the county government office. When he arrived at the county government office, he saw that several people from his village had arrived. Seeing the stone lion at the gate and the majestic county government office, and the guards standing at the door with murderous aura, Ye Chunsheng was so scared that his legs became weak, and his heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to walk into the county government office.

"Are you coming to the Makeng?" The guards at the door walked over with a smile on their faces.

"Go back to Jun Ye, we all came to Makeng." A villager replied.

"Then go in quickly. The chief of the Qianhu family of the Jinyiwei has been waiting for you for a long time." The soldier said.

Ye Chunsheng and his group walked into the county yamen, but saw an official wearing a dark yellow flying fish suit and a wingless black gauze hat sitting on the high position in the middle of the lobby. There was a Jinyiwei official wearing a black flying fish suit and a wingless black gauze hat standing on both sides. On both sides of the table, there were more than a dozen Jinyiwei guards wearing six-petal steep iron helmets and black military uniforms standing behind them. There were dozens of Jinyiwei Lissi wearing six-petal steep iron helmets and black armor standing behind them.

The Jinyiwei's thousands of households, hundreds of households and school captains, all of them were carrying embroidered spring swords around their waists. The Jinyiwei's strong men held long spears and strong crossbows on their backs, and some strong men held bird guns.

"Magnificent!" The Chief Liss of the Jinyiwei holding a spear shouted.

The villagers entering the lobby were startled and knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

"All of you are the villagers of Shangmakeng?" The Jinyiwei official sitting on the main seat looked at the people kneeling all over the ground.

"Go back to Master Qingtian, the grass people all come from Shangmakeng Village." The villagers replied.

"Have you brought both household registration and land lease contract?" Jinyiwei Qianhu asked again.

"It's brought it all." The villagers replied.

Jinyiwei Qianhu looked at the villagers with a charity and nodded: "It's good to bring them all. I'll arrange for Zhao Qianhu to deal with this matter later. I will go to the backyard of the county government office and wait in line to call my name. I will call my name and register. We will send you rice and then sign a new land lease contract."

Is there still food to take back? The villagers kneeling on the ground were stunned.

The Qianhu of Jinyiwei saw through the doubts in the hearts of the villagers and said, "You have worked hard for a year in previous years and planted white rice. It's a pity that they were taken away by the Ye Mansion! What are you eating by yourself? I understand the hard life you lived, because I was like you before, and I was also a tenant! I suffered a disaster in the north and was banditted again. My family almost starved to death. Fortunately, His Majesty and Zhang Dusi took us in, so I have the current day."

Qianhu paused and continued, "Dear villagers, do you know who caused the hard life you lived?"

The villagers looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

The thousand households suddenly slapped the arbor, stood up and shouted loudly, "It was caused by the gentry who rode on your head and shit and urinated! Our north was hit by disaster, but those gentry still spent money like soil and were extravagant. It can be said that the rich family smelled of wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road! I almost became the dry bones on the road! So after I became the Jinyiwei, I vowed to eliminate all the corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry in the world!"

The villagers were moved to their hearts. The education they received on weekdays was that the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Fanzi were both evil people. They involved in charges, framed loyal and kind, and harmed the people. But when they saw this Jinyiwei official today, they didn't expect to be so approachable, and even more unexpectedly, this Master Qingtian was also a farmer.

Now the scale of Chongzhen's Jinyiwei has reached an astonishingly more than 60,000 people. Most of the newly recruited Jinyiwei strong men were refugees who followed Chongzhen to the south. Because Zhang Shuheng told Chongzhen that those ordinary people voluntarily followed His Majesty to the south, and His Majesty gave them a bite of food and gave them a living favor, and they were the people who were the most loyal to His Majesty.

More than 60,000 Jinyiwei were active in the country, in the Ming Dynasty, in the Qing Dynasty and in Sichuan controlled by the Daxi Army. Even in Outer Mongolia, there were Jinyiwei.

Qianhu of Jinyiwei continued: "Actually, Your Majesty also hopes that the people can live a good life, but those gentry colluded with corrupt officials in the court, coerced, deceived the superiors and concealed the people, and deceived the people! This made Jinyiwei lose his judgment. For this reason, Jinyiwei has issued an edict to guilt! The Emperor of Ming Dynasty can give up his face and admit his mistakes, but what about those gentry? They still have to continue on their wrong path. So today, let our Jinyiwei let them get the punishment they deserve!"

The Qianhu's words aroused a burst of cheers from the villagers.

Next, the villagers were arranged to register their names in the backyard of the county government and then sign a new land lease contract.

Ye Chunsheng followed other villagers into the backyard and saw a table had already been set up inside. A Jinyiwei hundred households in red flying fish suit sat behind the table, and there were more than a dozen Jinyiwei lieutenants standing next to them.

"Everyone lined up and waited for the name to come up and register." said a Jinyiwei.

Zhao Baihu, the Jinyiwei, opened the household registration book that was found in the county yamen, overturned the page of Shangmakeng Village, and called them one by one.

Most of the villagers did not come. Zhao Baihu often called several people's names before one of them responded and walked forward.

Ye Chunsheng stood behind and saw the first person who walked forward. After answering a series of questions from Zhao Baihu, Zhao Baihu took out the land lease contract that he had collected from Ye Jingzhou's house and handed it to the villager to check it out.

"Master, but I can't read." The villager said with a bitter face.

"It doesn't matter if you can't read. Look at this contract. Did you sign it with Ye Jingzhou?" Zhao Baihu asked.

The villager looked at the contract on the table, thought hard for a long time before answering, "Go back to Master, this is indeed mine."

"Your family rents ten acres of land from the Leaf and Planting Zhou in all sizes, which is ten acres in the contract. Although these lands are confiscated and confiscated, they are still the ones you have to come. We only need you to press a handprint on our new contract. Later, we will also conduct an investigation on the land you currently rent," said Zhao Baihu.

Then, the farmer pressed a handprint on the new contract. Even if the task was done, Zhao Baihu asked the villager to collect rations.

After the villager left the lobby, he walked to the county government office and saw that there were many people waiting outside the county government office, all the villagers who were coming to rent the imperial field.

"Who are you literate? Please help me see this contract." The villager shouted.

A villager who had read books for several days but later had not even passed the palace examination stood up, picked up the contract book and read it, and said, "This contract is true, and it has not bullied you illiterate. You can rest assured to plant the imperial field, and think that today's son is still a wise man."

Everyone who came late, waiting outside the county government office was holding a bamboo stick with numbers in their hands. When a villager walked out of the county government office, the Jinyiwei called the number. The person who was called walked into the county government office and went straight to the backyard to queue up to wait for the number.

It was Ye Chunsheng's turn inside, and he also recognized a few words. After carefully reading the contract, he pressed the handprint on the contract.

"Okay, you go and get the rations. You can go home after you get them." said Jinyiwei Baihu.
