Huang Shi'an thought for a moment and said, "Don't spread the word about Wang Shuochen yet. Let Jia Wenyou and the others continue to sort out the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book."
"Okay, I'll note it down." Yang Jiachen nodded.
The Fish Scale Book is a map of Lingqiu's land, mountains, forests, rivers, etc., and the Yellow Book is a household registration book compiled by conscripts and levies.
These two books represent all the land and tax collection in Lingqiu.
In order to sort out the land and taxes in Lingqiu, these two things must be clarified.
On the other side, Wang Shuochen returned to Wang's house angrily.
Xing Dachun followed Wang Shuochen into the study.
"Your body belongs to you. Don't get angry because of this trivial matter, Boss Wang." Xing Dachun comforted Wang Shuochen at the side.
Wang Shuochen sat down on the main seat and said with an ugly face: "Is this a small matter? Don't forget that they want to divide not only my family's land, but also your family's land."
"Young man knows it, but at this time, you should not be anxious." Xing Dachun persuaded from the side.
At this time, servants came into the room and brought tea.
Wang Shuochen said: "When it comes to dividing the land, Huang Shi'an is just the one who executes it. The person who really gives the order is Dongzhu Liu. You should know Dongzhu Liu's position in the Tiger Flag. No one dares to disobey his orders."
"Of course you can't disobey Dongzhu Liu's order." Xing Dachun said, "But it also depends on the situation. For example, part of the land in a villain's home can be divided, but Dongzhu Wang, you are the hero of the Tiger-Character Banner's capture of Lingqiu City. For someone like you Hero, how can they divide your family's property? Dongzhu Liu is not an unreasonable person. I think there is a villain behind this matter."
Wang Shuochen was stunned when he heard this and said, "Do you really think so?"
"It really can't be true anymore. As a member of the Tiger Flag, it is impossible for Dongzhu Liu to divide his own land even if he is confused, unless someone deliberately does so without telling Dongzhu Liu." Xing Dachun analyzed for the other party.
Wang Shuochen looked thoughtful.
When Xing Dachun heard this, he also felt that the matter of dividing the land was a bit strange. The rebels had always taken care of their own people and would never deal with their own people to take advantage of the tenants.
There is indeed something wrong with Huang Shian's move to divide his Wang family's land.
"Dr. Wang, I think Huang Shi'an is doing whatever he wants now that he is the magistrate of Lingqiu County. We can't just sit back and wait for death. Otherwise, if he really divides your family's land, even if Dongzhu Liu finds out in the future, he will not be able to return the land. The most you can do is blame Huang Shi'an, but then you will be the one who will suffer the most, Mr. Wang." Xing Dachun said.
Wang Shuochen looked at Xing Dachun in front of him and said, "How about I send someone to Datong Town to deliver a letter to Dongzhu Liu, so that Dongzhu Liu can come forward to uphold justice for my Wang family?"
"No, no." Xing Dachun shook his head and said immediately, "Dongzhu Liu has just taken over Datong City, and there must be too many things to do. He can't take care of such a trivial matter as our Lingqiu. Besides, Huang Shi'an also said that it is Dongzhu Liu who divides the fields. It’s just that he deliberately put Wang Dongzhu, a member of the Tiger Banner, together with other large households in Lingqiu, and deliberately wanted to divide the Wang family’s land.”
Wang Shuochen frowned slightly and said, "Then what better way do you have?"
"There is indeed a way." Xing Dachun smiled confidently.
Wang Shuochen asked eagerly: "What can we do?"
"Actually, it is very simple to deal with Huang Shi'an. Even though he is the county magistrate sent by the Tiger Flag, there are only a few people he can send in the entire county government. As long as we join forces with other big households in the city, let the county magistrate The yamen sent people to deliberately shirk and be lazy. Even if Huang Shi'an is the county magistrate, he can't do anything. He can't measure the land and divide the fields alone." Xing Dachun looked at Wang Shuochen and said.
Wang Shuochen stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said worriedly: "Now that the Tiger Character Banner has occupied Lingqiu, will we offend the people of the Tiger Character Banner by doing this?"
He flinched a little when he faced off against the tiger character flag.
"There is a saying that the law does not punish the public. As long as the big families in the city do this and the Tiger Character Banner still wants to collect money and food, they have to give in. Even if they find two unlucky guys in the future to scare the monkeys, they will not ask you, Boss Wang. On people." Xing Dachun persuaded.
Wang Shuochen looked thoughtful.
On the one hand, I felt that what Xing Dachun said made sense, but on the other hand, I felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't explain it at the moment.
Xing Dachun Wang Shuochen was still hesitating, and then said: "I have been working in the yamen for so many years. I have seen too many such things. I will be fine."
"Is there really nothing going on?" Wang Shuochen asked worriedly.
Xing Dachun said with certainty: "Nothing will happen. If nothing is done, something will happen. Huang Shi'an and the others will never let go of the Wang family's property. They might even do something even more outrageous. Even the Dongshan Iron Works will be taken over." ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's contact the big households in Lingqiu City and fight against the land allocation together." Wang Shuochen pressed the palm of his right hand hard on the table.
When Xing Dachun saw that the other party agreed, he smiled and said: "Leave it to me to contact the big families in Lingqiu City. I believe that as soon as the news that the county government distributes their property gets out, these big families themselves will join forces to fight against the government. "
"These are the properties that each family has worked hard to save for generations. We must not let Huang Shi'an take them away in vain." Wang Shuochen said fiercely.
Xing Dachun said with a smile: "Proprietor Wang, don't worry, as long as big businesses like us join hands, no matter how great Huang Shian is, he won't be able to make trouble."
He was full of confidence in the countermeasures to divide the land against the Yamen.
Because big families like them are the foundation of a place, and now that Wang Shuochen, a person whom the Tiger Flag values, is standing in front of them, Huang Shi'an can't even think about dividing the land of each family.
Just when Xing Dachun went to contact the wealthy families in Lingqiu City on behalf of Wang Shuochen, two four-wheeled carts from the Tiger Flag entered Lingqiu City.
The two four-wheeled carts that entered the city were the same as the carts that Huang Shi'an and his companions were riding in. They were carts specially used to pull people. They had carriages on them, so people could sit inside without having to worry about being exposed to wind or rain.
After the two four-wheeled carts entered Lingqiu City, they were escorted by a group of tiger-character flag soldiers and went all the way to Lingqiu City County Government Office.
"A messenger from Hufang said that Wang Shuochen came to Hufang a few days ago and joined forces with Xing Dachun, the former head of the household, to transfer a large amount of land from the Xu Yangli family to his own name. Now when it comes to his family's land, I'm afraid it's more than our Tiger Flag's fields in Lingqiu." Yang Jiachen said angrily.
Huang Shian's expression changed when he heard this.
He said: "They are desperate. The land of these three families has been confiscated. If they dare to give it to each other secretly, they are not afraid that our Tiger Character Banner will kill their heads."
"If he was afraid, he wouldn't come to the Yamen to make noise today." Yang Jiachen curled his lips.
