Chapter 280 New Land Deed 2
The mapping and verification work took a long time. Finally, they were solved one by one using modern surveying methods, and the land conditions on the map of Meiyang Village placed in the middle of the big tent gradually became clearer. The map floor is marked with numerous numbers and color blocks that only professionals can understand. Colorful and dense, it looks like an abstract painting.
It was easy to see from the drawing board that someone had concealed the acres. Many fields surveyed and mapped have not been declared. These are undoubtedly Yakuta. To be cautious, Wang Ruixiang also made a special interview with Fu Buer and some elderly people in the village to find out whether there were any foreign landowners purchasing land in the village, and got a negative answer.
"Okay, now you are going to be chickens." Wang Ruixiang thought to himself in his tent. As for who has not declared, he is not in a hurry to find out. Anyway, they will take the initiative to identify them when the land title is issued. .
On this day, Wang Ruixiang held a village meeting on the threshing floor of the village and issued a new version of the land title on the spot.
The new version of the land deed adopts the form of a double-open certificate and has a unified serial number. The front and back covers are made of thick cardboard, which is wear-resistant and durable. The paper is also heavyweight cardboard with watermarks from paper mills. In order to avoid the trouble of changing the field deed after becoming unique in the future, the new version of the field deed only uses the name of the Lingao County Grain Collection Bureau and is stamped with the official seal of the Grain Collection Bureau. Only the last page is stamped with the large seal of the main hall of Lingao County - used to win the trust of the people. After all, the Ming Dynasty's flag has not been lost yet.
The new title deed not only indicates the land owner, area, dimensions and location, etc. Also included are scale plans drawn according to modern drafting methods. There are three copies of the land deed, one is kept by the landowner, one is kept in the household, and the other is kept in the library.
After issuing the land deeds, Wang Ruixiang announced that all remaining undeclared fields would be confiscated as terra nullius.
"It would be a pity to have so much unowned land abandoned. However, the county has recruited many refugees in Guangdong, so the unowned land will be given to them for farming." Wang Ruixiang said nonchalantly, "There will be more than a dozen households in your village. Get along well.”
It is well known in Lingao that the Australians brought in refugees from the mainland boat after boat in Bopu. Now it is said that the village's ownerless land will be used to resettle them - this is a reasonable thing, and people present cannot help but believe it.
As soon as this was said, all the villagers were stunned. Not only the person who had concealed the land, but also the tenants were surprised - this move was so vicious.
"Okay, I've received the land deed, so let's disperse."
There was a buzz of discussion in the place.
"Come on, sir!" A sharp female voice suddenly came out. When the woman from a landlord's family heard that all the undeclared land would be confiscated and distributed to immigrants from the mainland, she could no longer hold her breath. , no matter what the head of the family did, he rushed out of the crowd in desperation, crawled over on his knees, and lay at Wang Ruixiang's feet.
"The young ones still have fields that have not been declared -"
"It's late, the declaration period has ended." Wang Ruixiang said expressionlessly, "In another month, immigrants from the mainland will arrive."
This is a big deal. Everyone in the courtyard who had originally tried to remain calm was panicked. All of them knelt down and begged together.
Wang Ruixiang didn't care about the families who were hiding their land. The whole family knelt on the ground and begged, but remained calm. He said that the people kneeling on the ground were allowed to cry, tear their clothes, stamp their feet and beat their chests. You must know that the family that suffered the most serious losses will lose almost half of its land. Several members of the family cried until they fainted.
"I've told you so many times: I want you to declare truthfully. If you declare the reclaimed land, you will be issued a land deed. If you don't declare it, if you have a land deed, it will be treated as ownerless land." Wang Ruixiang saw that the situation was almost over, so he pretended to be pitiful and said, "You guys There is nothing you can do if you don't listen. Immigrants from the mainland are coming, and now they say there is no land - tell me what to do about this matter."
"This is all because of the lard of young people. Please forgive me, sir." The crowd of people kneeling in front of him was so dark that the heads of the old men at the head were smashed.
"Don't pretend to be pitiful. If we couldn't measure it, you wouldn't be kneeling here begging for mercy." Wang Ruixiang sneered, "Maybe you will still be laughing secretly at home, thinking you have a trick."
These words were heartbreaking. The people kneeling below all turned pale and were speechless.
Wang Ruixiang coughed: "If you dare to do something, dare to do it. Don't act like a person without eggs."
"You guys don't dare anymore." The people below continued to plead. The stone floor was banged with heads, and several people's foreheads were swollen and bleeding.
Women were crying and wiping away tears in the crowd. Many people were watching on the threshing floor, mostly ordinary farmers in the village. Seeing the rich people in the village in such a mess, everyone was relieved. Some had smiles on their faces, while others were making noises.
Fu Buer also stood on the threshing floor with a straight face and said nothing. But he was secretly happy: this move was still the right one. The Australian who seemed rude but was actually shrewd just now praised him, called him a "role model", and made many wishes - not to mention whether these wishes could be realized, at least all his land was saved. .
He secretly glanced at Fu Yousan's eldest son Fu Yizhuang, who was sweating profusely. Members of Fu Yousan's family held back and did not confess. They were confident that the location of their village was hidden and the Australians had not noticed it. However, in such a scene, Fu Yizhuang felt uncertain and the suffering was enough. He secretly complained about his father Fu Yousan: He only came up with ideas, but asked others to take the lead, and would only hide when encountering a situation.
"Okay," Wang Ruixiang saw that their scalps were swollen from kowtowing, and they were almost dying of crying and kowtowing, so he relaxed, "Look at how pitiful you are in begging. I will give everyone a way out."
"Thank you, chief -" The next step was to kowtow again.
"Thank you first." Wang Ruixiang sneered, "If there is anyone else in this village who has not declared their land honestly, if you expose it, I will give you a chance to be punished lightly."
There was a moment of silence in the yard, and everyone in the room immediately turned their attention to Fu Yizhuang: Everyone in the village knew that Fu Yousan's family had more than these fields.
Wang Ruixiang's eyes followed. Fu Yi was as strong as a thorn in his back, his legs were trembling and he just wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy. He calmed down and comforted himself secretly: No matter how capable the Australians are, they are not clairvoyant. Even the people in the village cannot tell Zhuangzi's position. He is very afraid that even if someone wants to report him, he has to tell where it is. OK.
"Fu Yousan's family owns a lot of land." Someone finally hid in the crowd and whispered.
The people kneeling on the ground seemed to have seen a straw, and each one turned into a vicious dog, jumping up and biting Fu Youyou three families. Regardless of whether they were men, women or old people, they all shouted with certainty: Fu has three families who have land but no compensation.
These words suddenly gathered into a wave, which hit Fu Yizhuang's body hard. Fu Yizhuang's face turned pale. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw these guys kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and betraying his family immediately, regardless of the feelings of relatives, fellow clan members and neighbors.
He forced himself to calm down, and when he saw Chief Wang's eyes heading towards him, he had no choice but to answer bravely:
"All the land owned by Xiao's family has been declared and nothing is hidden."
"He's lying," a woman screamed, "Fu Yousan, this old boy, is the best at grabbing money. He has so much food at home that he can't finish it. He buys land every year, and there must be other land." This statement immediately caused a stir. Frantic echoes.
Wang Ruixiang waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and called him in front of him: "Your family really has no land."
"Really not." Fu Yizhuang simply said hard.
“Not even in other villages”
"A small family has a small industry. If another village buys land, it will not be managed."
"Don't you have a brother? Where is your brother?" Wang Ruixiang asked.
Fu Yizhuang was surprised. He didn't expect Australians to be so aware of his family's affairs. Then I thought it must have been Fu Buer who said it.
"Er Zhuang went to his wife's natal home."
"Well," Wang Ruixiang stared at him for a long time. "Where's your dad?"
"He, he is sick——"
"He is really sick again, and he always gets sick." Wang Ruixiang said with a smile, and suddenly lowered his voice and said to him, "You think so?"
"Yes - yes -" Fu Yizhuang was caught off guard.
"The land you own is not repaid," Wang Ruixiang spat on the ground, "You and your father must think that we can't find that place, right?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Fu Yizhuang was so frightened that he became incoherent and his body was shaking involuntarily.
"I'll tell you right now," Wang Ruixiang also glanced at the others, "Nothing can be hidden from our eyes." As he said that, he returned his gaze to Fu Yizhuang's trembling body, "Go back and tell your father : There is no need to torture you, we will know exactly how much land your family still has in three days. By then your family will have to pay double."
Fu Yizhuang wanted to identify him, but he thought that if he could tell his story, his father would never believe his words, and it would be his own fault - he was afraid of his father like a mouse seeing a cat. Even though he knew the consequences of this matter would be serious, he still didn't dare to go against Fu Yousan's decision.
"Chief, it's not the little ones who can make the decision in the family." Fu Yizhuang was in a state of chaos, almost pleading, "Please forgive me."
"You're so useless," Wang Rui said with contempt for him, "You're a man in your thirties, and you don't have any responsibility for your own affairs."
Fu Yizhuang was sulking in his heart: Do I dare to be responsible for this family? Fu Yousan grasped everything tightly. Although he was the eldest son, he was only bossed around like a foreman at home. Of course, I couldn't say this, so I had to lower my head and say nothing, and beat him to death without speaking. ,.
