After crossing Mount Li, you will enter Hongmen County.

As the gateway to the Guanzhong Plain, Hongmen County is backed by the Wei River, and there are more than ten small rivers and streams in the territory. The irrigation advantage is second only to Nanling and Baling in the Ba Shangyuan. They are both places where there is no need to build water conservancy and God appreciates food.

But, it is precisely because of this that land annexation is very fierce.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jin walked along the way, and almost all the fields they saw were connected into one, without ridges or dividing lines.

This means that the owners of these lands belong to one person.

Liu Jin was so angry!

His face turned a little pale!

Now he is no longer a novice. He already understands that the strength of the empire is closely related to the number of self-cultivated farmers.

Taxes, corvee service, and high-quality military resources all depend on the strong self-cultivation peasant class.

"What are you planning to do?" Liu Jin finally couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness just looks..." Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I will definitely let these landlords and powerful people agree to release the land and population..."

"Then I will wait and see..." Liu Jin said with anticipation.

After arriving at Hongmen County, the group entered the county government directly.

County Magistrate Gong Sui and County Magistrate Jie Yannian hurried out to greet him after hearing the news.

Both of these were selected from the county government officials after Hongmen was included in the Xinfeng system and were outstanding young people recognized by Liu Jin.

But the time for the responsibilities was a little short, and the county affairs were not fully grasped. In addition, the powerful forces in the county did not take them seriously. They thought they were young boys who were still young, so they deliberately took them, making many things impossible to carry out.

Now, the grandson and General Ying Yang have arrived in person, making them finally welcome a supportive backer as if they had seen their relatives.

Gong Sui and Jie Yannian invited Liu Jin and others to the county government, and then began to introduce the specific situation of Hongmen and the data they had.

This is also a feature of the Xinfeng Group. From the beginning, I didn’t like red tape, liked to talk about data and make tables.

With the expansion of the Xinfeng system, this feature gradually flowed into the bureaucratic system.

Nowadays, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers have offices. If there is no data or form in the memorials reported to superiors or emperors, they will definitely be despised or even punished. They will be considered perfunctory to superiors and despised the emperor.

This is also one of Zhang Yue's biggest influence on the world.

After listening to their report, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin looked at each other. It was basically not much different from Gong Sui's report, but there were more details and more backgrounds of the powerful people in the county.

only……

These things are no longer within Zhang Yue's consideration.

Not to mention those so-called powerful people, even the backers behind them are now not even qualified to carry shoes to Zhang Yue.

The title of Yinghou is enough to press them to the ground to rub them freely.

So, Zhang Yue didn't listen carefully. After Gong Sui and Jie Yannian finished talking, he said, "I and Your Highness have already understood the matters of Hongmen!"

"I'm here today. I have something to do. Please ask you two to do it!"

"Posted a notice immediately. Xiaoyu County: It is very harmful to slaughter, and it is not done by gentlemen! Now there are many slaves in Hongmen, and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince is not happy. Thinking that it is difficult for the elders, he promised the government to redeem the body of slaves!"

After talking about these two points, Zhang Yue waved his hand and said, "You two, go and do it now!"

When Gong Sui and Jie Yannian heard this, they looked at each other, and then bowed respectfully: "One!"

…………………………

As a result, the entire Hongmen County wailed in an instant.

As soon as the notice came out, the whole county was shocked!

"The government should redeem the slaves?" A rich man with a big belly took a deep breath and couldn't help but say, "This is a forced purchase and sale!"

The servants under his name, sent guests and traveled against the enemy, but his family spent twenty or thirty years, little bit of wealth accumulated with hard work.

Now, with the above sentence, I want him to let him go?

How is this possible?

He will never agree even if he dies!

However, his family was already scared and advised one after another: "Sir, now the grandson and Zhang Chiyou are in charge of Hongmen themselves... You should bear it..."

"Yes, brother, bear it..."

"The left and right are just giving those mud legs a few days of freedom. Where can they escape?"

"Maybe in a few days, I can't live anymore, so I have to sell myself to our family again. Maybe we can make a fortune!"

"Only people and no land, can they run there?!"

Listening to the persuasion of his family, the rich man finally figured it out and nodded, "Since that's the case... I agree..."

"But the price of Pingjia must not be lower!"

"It costs at least ten thousand yuan each, so I will nod!"

But I couldn't help but make a small plan in my heart. His family had more than 200 slaves, plus the mailers, and those who were not in the slave book, but in fact, the population that was completely dependent on him for survival was about 400.

Four hundred people, each of them is 10,000 yuan, which is four million yuan.

After these people were released, they had no inheritance, no tiles, and even a piece of clothing.

Therefore, they must still come back and continue to rely on themselves.

At that time, I would just give me two or three thousand yuan and I might be able to buy their contract again.

In this way, you can earn about two or three million with your left hand over your right hand!

Pure profit!

Thinking of this, he finally felt comfortable.

A smart person like this person is countless people in Hongmen.

Therefore, when the government notice was posted, and Zhang Chiyou and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince were in charge, and when they knew that it was impossible to be able to transcend power, the landlords and powerful people in Hongmen all "knowing the times are heroes" and cooperated with the government's work, they immediately reported a large number of registered slaves to the county government.

Some guys even wrote down their own body sales contracts with their own travelers and senders who were originally using the excuse of "dieters" and "tenants" and then stuffed them into the list.

However, the county government never cared about these things and accepted them all.

Moreover, the price of Pingjia offered is also very conscientious and completely refers to the market price. Pingjia redeems the price of 7,000 yuan for the small slave, 15,000 yuan for the big slave, and 10,000 yuan for the female slave.

And if you buy one, you will give one money.

So, over the past few days, the landlords and powerful people in Hongmen were like crazy, taking their slaves and sending them to the county town with their servants. Even the landlords in several surrounding counties were moved and asked to come to the door, hoping to stuff their slaves and make some hard money.

However, the county government turned a deaf ear and accepted it all.

In just three days, Hongmen County Government redeemed more than 8,000 slaves.

However, there is a strange place after these people redeem themselves, they did not give some money and food to the government and place them on the spot, on the contrary, their freedom is as limited as the past.

It was also placed next to the county town by the county government and was supervised and protected by a lieutenant from Wannian County.

However, no one cares about this matter.

Everyone is busy making money, looking forward to it, and after the news comes, they will buy back these slaves at a low price.

When it comes to taking advantage of the public, landlords are smart.

Until the fourth day...

When countless people woke up, they suddenly discovered that a large number of caravans appeared on the road.

And the banner of these caravans is so loud!

The Yuan family, the Yang family, the Zhang family, the Tian family, and the Zheng family are each a famous family of giants.

In addition to these great merchants, the white gloves of the Guanzhong marquis and nobles were also rushing from the road.

There are also many well-known businessmen in other places!

And these people have one common feature that is the workshop owners of the Xinfeng Workshop Department.

After they arrived at Hongmen County, they immediately entered the temporary residence of the redeemed slaves protected by the Han army.

Then, countless people watched helplessly, and these guys smiled and brought out batches of slaves from there.

Then, these people were asked to put on brand new work clothes, and gave them a bag of grain, a small bag of salt and oil. Then, under the witness of Xinfeng County Magistrate Chen Wannian, Xinfeng Industrial and Commercial Officer Sang Jun, Hongmen County Magistrate Gong Sui, and County Magistrate Jie Yannian, these merchants signed a three-year contract with those slaves who redeem themselves.

The contract consists of three parts.

The first part is the signing between Hongmen County and the redeemed slaves.

The content is also very simple. These people admit that they owe some expenses for redemption in Hongmen County and promised to obey Hongmen management and obey the instructions of the county government to repay the debts and interest.

Then, a contract was signed between Hongmen County and Xinfeng County, with the same simple content. The two counties expressed their willingness to cooperate on the road of "building a well-off society and promoting peace" together, and to conduct exchanges between personnel and officials for this purpose.

Then, Hongmen County stated that in order to help the development of Xinfeng Workshop Park, it is willing to transport several migrant workers to Xinfeng Workshop Park.

Xinfeng said that the Hongmen brothers welcomed the Hongmen brothers to join His Royal Highness’s family and were willing to create favorable conditions for the Hongmen fathers to come to Xinfeng to work.

Then, Xinfeng County Government signed a contract with the workshop owners who arrived.

The slaves who were redeemed by Hongmen were sent to various workshops to engage in handmade production in workshops.
