Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 35 Implementation of Chinese Law

"The above is the latest land equalization law promulgated by the imperial court! This law will be implemented in Didao County and eventually extended to the entire Longxi County."

Ma Di was sitting in a wheelchair, looking pale but still insisting on reading out the land equalization bill that had just been formulated.

I have to say that Ma Su, who is wearing a Confucian scholar's costume and sitting in a wheelchair, looks a bit like Zhuge Liang. If you hold a feather fan in your hand, it will be a perfect version of Zhuge Kongming's Youchang.

As for the land equalization law, it is not difficult to understand. Simply put, the court will remeasure the land. According to the existing land deeds, the ownerless land was taken back to the imperial court, and then distributed to the head of Guizhou for cultivation based on household registration information.

Ding Nan was granted eighty acres of open farmland, which could provide a family with one year's worth of living. The allocated land is not allowed to be bought or sold, only cultivated.

Moreover, after being allocated fields, the head of Guizhou was required to perform a certain amount of corvee service to the court and pay sufficient taxes. If anyone is found to be evading corvee taxes, the government has the power to take back their land.

As for whether the imperial court owns this land, there is no need to worry. Anyway, all archives without title deeds are ownerless land.

In this way, the government's control was bound to the land equalization law. As long as nothing happens to the government, the land equalization law can be slowly implemented.

If the government's control is no longer good, then any system will be useless and it will soon be annexed and cannibalized.

After Ma Su read out the land equalization law, the people in Guizhou who were watching suddenly started talking about it.

"So our family can also get land?"

"Oh my God, does that mean we can go to the territory too?"

"But our county doesn't have much land. Can we allocate it?"

"It's hard to say, and the Qiang people are not very honest recently..."

Listening to the discussions among the leaders of Guizhou below, Ma Di was very satisfied. Only when there is discussion can the news be spread quickly. Soon this land equalization method will spread throughout Longxi County and even Longyou Shuzhong.

By then, even if the Longxi County aristocratic family fails to live up to expectations and doesn't give him a ride, the aristocratic families in other places will not let him go.

Alas, this is how aristocratic families in small places live. If I want to commit suicide, I have to worry about it myself.

Ma Su was not very worried about his death. He was not indispensable. If it is true that even a useless time traveler like me is irreplaceable, then this Shu Han will definitely not be able to help me.

He just needs to give future generations a start and a way of thinking for progress. In the future, there will always be qualified heroes who will stand up and carry forward this great cause.

Anyway, those are not things I should worry about. I believe in the wisdom of future generations.

But what surprised Ma Su was that no one from those aristocratic families came out until he announced that he would start measuring the land the next day and that the land equalization law would be implemented soon.

Only some good deeds and those who hope to benefit from it are praising Ma Su's achievements.

No, this is not the style of the aristocratic family. Shouldn't they send someone to threaten themselves at this time?

"Forget it, forget about it. Since they didn't respond, I'll just follow the steps and be done with it." Ma Su thought for a long time, then waved his hand and stopped thinking about these things.

I don't believe that your family can watch it honestly when I divide your land! "

"Prefect, why don't we go back! It's too dangerous to stay outside now." Yao Hu said to Ma Su cautiously while maintaining a high degree of vigilance to prevent assassins.

"A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall, and a rich man will not sit down in the hall. You, the prefect, are the backbone of everyone now. If something happens to you, the land equalization law will fail."

"What are you afraid of! If I, as the county guard, leave now, will the head of Guizhou still believe in the truth of the Land Equalization Law?" Ma Su naturally didn't care about this, and waved to the head of Guizhou below with difficulty.

"I am Ma Su, the governor of Longxi. How can those young men come to attack me! As long as I am still alive, you can't continue to dominate me!"

"Prefect, please don't bet on me. There are too many people who want to kill you now." Yao Hu smiled bitterly.

"What's more, your body is still weak. You will not be able to hold on for a long time if you have to do everything every time."

"It doesn't matter, if one Ma Di dies, countless Ma Di will stand up again!" Ma Di said righteously.

"Those worms in the court want to kill me, which means they are afraid of me! Not only do I want to place a bid here, but I also want to personally lead people to implement the land equalization law tomorrow!"

"Let those hypocritical scholars see with their own eyes how I divide them and then kill them!"

"Ahem... Prefect, it's time to take medicine!"

At this time, Dr. Chuan came out from the county government office and walked forward carefully holding a bowl of dark medicinal soup.

"Didn't you just drink the medicine in the morning?" Ma Su was slightly startled. He remembered that he only drank the medicine once a few days ago, so why did he increase the amount today.

"Your injury has almost become a disease due to overwork these days. If you don't drink more medicine, I'm afraid it will get worse." Doctor Chuan smiled bitterly and said cautiously.

"What's more, haven't the prefects said these days that they can't sleep because they care about the people? This is the stable solution for you!"

Ma Su shook his head speechlessly. Are doctors selling themselves so nakedly these days?

After taking the decoction, Ma Su drank it all, grinning in pain.

But just when Ma Su was about to continue reading out the supervision, he suddenly felt dizzy.

"Let me know, what's going on?" Ma Su felt a numbness, his mind suddenly became confused, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

"Master Taishou!" Yao Hu was shocked, but was immediately stopped by the doctor.

"Don't worry, the Sheriff just took a nap and will wake up tomorrow." Doctor Chuan sighed and took back the pottery bowl calmly.

"The Sheriff is young, and youth is good. Just fall asleep!"

"Is this the effect of your decoction?" Yao Hu stepped forward to check. I was surprised to find that Ma Su was breathing evenly and was just asleep.

"The secret recipe passed down from my father was for Xuan Ke to save the world." Doctor Chuan shook his head and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"The Sheriff is weak and must rest no matter what, otherwise he will die. Given his temperament, it is probably impossible for the Sheriff to agree, so I had to make this decision."

"I see, sir, you are so righteous!" Yao Hu suddenly realized and bowed to the doctor respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, the Sheriff is a good man."

Although the aristocratic family's reaction was unexpectedly calm, Ma Di didn't care what their reaction was.

On just the next day, Ma Su sent people to start pretending to measure the so-called Borderlands. After measuring for a while, he announced that he had grasped the size of the land, and then began to distribute new land titles to tenants who still had household registration.

After all, with reference, it is not difficult to rewrite and copy the land deed.

As Ma Su expected, the people of the aristocratic family quickly lost their composure, and someone stepped forward to stop them.

"What are you doing! This is the Chen family's farm! Could it be that you want to become enemies of our Chen family?"

A member of Didao's Chen family stopped him outside the Chen family's field and said angrily with an ugly expression.
