    The Qinghe Army Yunxi Government Affairs Office is in full swing to re-measure the field acres, and the 25th working team took the lead in completing the measurement work.

    After the measurement, Zhangjiazhuang's Zhang family controlled more than 3,000 mu of fertile land, covering more than ten surrounding villages.

    "These fields were acquired by the Zhang family over the years. Except for ten acres of land for each of them, the rest were confiscated and distributed to the poor."

    After the twenty-fifth work team completed the clearing of Zhang Zhang's fields, Miao Cai, the head of the household department of the Yunxi Government Office, also ordered the northern suburbs to take the lead in dividing the fields.

    After all, the people in most areas of Yunxi Mansion are still waiting and watching, and they still don't trust the Qinghe Army very much.

    As long as the 25th Work Team makes a good start in Zhangjiazhuang in the northern suburbs, then other areas will be able to carry out land measurement and land distribution activities smoothly.

    ?The twenty-fifth task force faithfully carried out the orders of the Yunxi government, immediately registered those people who did not have land, and then began to divide the land.

    "Every household, as long as they are over ten years old, can get five acres of land for free, and 20% of the harvest will be used as tax and grain"

    The twenty-fifth task force stationed in Zhangjiazhuang prepared to gather people from more than a dozen surrounding villages and distribute land to them according to the population.

    Although the work team went deep into every village to carry out propaganda, but when the land was actually distributed, very few people came, and most of the people were still watching.

    "Let's divide first."

    Although only a dozen households came, the work team took the lead in dividing the land for them.

    "You can choose which piece of land you like. You only need to register with us. From now on, this land will belong to you."

    For these more than a dozen households who came to support the work boldly, the work team also gave them a little benefit, that is, they can be given priority.

    The people from these ten households came here with the attitude of giving it a try, but they did not expect that the Qinghe Army would play for real.

    They chose fertile land with a skeptical attitude. After registering with the work team, a wooden sign with their names was placed on the land, announcing the ownership of the land.

    "I'm so sorry to bother you, elders and folks, to tell the neighbors and neighbors that anyone who wants to get land can come to us to get it."

    "However, we must also remind them that if they come too late, the good fertile land and fields will be gone, so we must hurry up."

    Everything is difficult at the beginning. Although only a dozen households were divided on the first day, the people in the work team were still very happy.

    "Ding Laosan, you are from Yunxi Mansion, and you also went to the village to help us promote it."

    In order to divide the land as soon as possible, the work team specially gathered Ding Laosan and other local people who assisted them in measuring the land, and sent them to various villages to further publicize.

    As a local, Ding Laosan, his family's land was also bought by the Zhang family at a low price, and he became a landless tenant.

    At the beginning of the land distribution, Ding Laosan's family was allocated ten acres of land, so he is grateful to the Qinghe Army now.

    After receiving the order from the work team, he and some other young men who were assigned to the land quickly went deep into various villages to do the work of the common people.

    "It's really deceiving!"

    ? When the land task force of the Qinghe Army was advancing the task of dividing the land in an orderly manner, in the ancestral hall of Zhangjiazhuang, the head of the Zhang family was furious.

    Most of the thousands of acres of land accumulated by their Zhang family have now been confiscated by the Qinghe Army, and they want to distribute it to the poor. How could they be willing?

    "Patriarch, what should we do now, our family has only dozens of acres of land left." Some members of the Zhang family said angrily.

    "Patriarch, you have to give us justice."

    Now that the Qinghe army is going to divide their land, all the branches of the Zhang family have gathered in the ancestral hall, wanting their patriarch to come forward.

    "Everyone is yelling. You think I have no idea. This is because the people in the Qinghe army are different from the people in the imperial court. They don't want the money we give you."

    The head of the Zhang family was full of anger when he said that he gave money to the work team.

    People open their mouths to ask for 500,000 gold coins. This is no bargaining, it is simply rejecting them.

    The Zhang family used to flourish under the rule of the imperial court, because the officials at all levels of the imperial court were extremely corrupt. As long as they gave a little money, they could get a lot of benefits.

    ?But the Qinghe Army is different, as a newly risingPower, the interior is quite clean.

    What's more, there is an agency like the Intelligence Investigation Department under supervision, so new officials at all levels naturally dare not reach out to accept bribes.

    In the past, the Zhang family used money to clear the way, but now they directly hit a nail with the Qinghe Army.

    Moreover, the Zhang family used to hold the right to speak in the surrounding villages, and the village chiefs of each village were controlled by their people.

    The imperial court is only in charge of Yunxi Mansion and the three counties below. When it comes to villages and towns, they, the local big clans, have the final say.

    The imperial court's control over the areas below the villages and towns is quite weak, so this gave the Zhang family a chance.

    Because the admiral of Yunxi Mansion and the county magistrates want to collect taxes, or recruit civilian husbands, they all need the support of the big families below.

    Due to various reasons, the imperial court does not have the energy to govern villages and towns, and it is already very good to be able to control them at the county level.

    Therefore, the local governance of the imperial court is almost always a situation where the county government and the local gentry and wealthy families jointly govern.

    Even if the banner of the city changes and the world changes to a new owner, they still have to rely on the squires who are rooted in the villages and towns to obtain money and food, so the new court will also treat these squires favorably.

    However, the Qinghe Army is different. The Qinghe Army directly sent countless work teams to the village and town level to directly talk to the people, making the squires who used to hold the right to speak in the villages and towns suddenly become a display.

    Now the Zhang family has lost not only the right to speak to the local area, but also most of their wealth has been confiscated by the Qinghe army.

    For an ethnic group that has been domineering in the local area for many years, they are naturally upset that the Qinghe army violated their interests.

    "The thieves are only arrogant for a while, and when the court's army arrives, they will run away in despair."

    Facing the excited clansmen, the patriarch of the Zhang family had no choice but to comfort them with kind words.

    "What about those lands? Should the thieves distribute them to those mud legs?"

    "Hmph, no one can share our Zhang family's land. You go back and stay well. I have my own way."

    The patriarch of the Zhang family is also well-known in the clan, so after some persuasion by him, the branches of the Zhang family who lost their land had to go back and wait for news.

    "Go to Tongshan quickly, and give this letter to their leader."

    Since the Qinghe Army Task Force refused to accept softness, the head of the Zhang family decided to be tough. After letting the clansmen go back, he immediately recruited the housekeeper.

    Copper Mountain is located in the eastern part of Yunxi Prefecture, which is a branch of the Sanqing Mountains, and a group of bandits are entrenched.

    The Zhang family has a long history of dealings with this group of gangsters. Once the Zhang family can't handle things, they will ask the gangsters from Tongshan to help secretly.

    Back then, a newly appointed official in Yunxi Mansion coveted the wealth of the Zhang family and wanted to deal with them.

    But it didn't take long for the newly appointed official's family to suffer a bloodbath. From then on, no one dared to provoke the Zhang family, a local snake.

    Now the Qinghe army is going to divide the land of the Zhang family. Although the Zhang family dare not oppose the Qinghe army on the surface, they can still do something secretly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
