    With the sound of gongs and drums, the villagers immediately knew that there must be something important to say. However, at this time, most people did not know about the division of fields. Most people thought that Qiao Mu was dying.

    After all, Qiao Mu had just fainted after vomiting blood during the day.

    Later, I talked to them with a rosy face.

    It¡¯s okay if there is no gongs and drums, but when the gongs and drums are played, it always feels like announcing a funeral.

    Think back to what happened during the day.

    It feels more like she has come back to life.

    So when they heard the sound of gongs and drums, many villagers gathered in the center of the village with sad faces and even a little pain and sorrow in their hearts.

    Until you come to the center of the village.

    I saw Qiao Mu standing there alive and kicking.

    Each of them laughed awkwardly, and then they didn¡¯t dare to tell others what they thought. They stood aside and waited for Qiao Mu to speak.

    "However, there are also people who are whispering privately.

    "It scared me to death. I thought the village chief was in trouble. Just be fine. Just be fine!"

    "Yes, the situation today was really scary. He vomited blood and fainted again. My bastard ex-husband died within two days after he vomited blood. But Sister Da Niu is blessed with great fortune, so she must be fine!"

    "If you ask me, I still have to persuade Sister Da Niu to find a doctor, otherwise I will always feel uneasy and afraid that something will happen."

    "Wait until she finishes speaking.

    Let¡¯s try to persuade him again.  "

    ¡­¡­

    After about ten minutes, everyone in the village had basically arrived. Qiao Mu beat the gongs and drums again to signal everyone to quiet down, and then frankly told everyone what he had told Zhu Hongxia before, as well as what she and Zhu Hongxia were worried about.  Talk about it and ask them what they think.

    For such a big matter, even if the people in their village were united, they couldn't immediately come up with an answer in unison, so everyone quickly began to whisper and discuss things like dividing the fields. They really didn't know much about it.  Worry, because they feel that Qiao Mu will never be divided unfairly, and they are relieved about this.

    They are discussing and worrying at this time.

    The main reason is the taxes you may face.

    Everyone present who is a little older has basically seen it before, and has even experienced the excessive levies and extortionate behavior of some officials in the past. They have also experienced the exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes in the past troubled times. Many years ago, small forces in some places even levied taxes to 20%.  Thirty years later, the horror can be seen.

    Therefore, what they are most worried about now is what kind of taxes the new government will collect, and whether the taxes collected will be too much, and whether it will make it difficult for them to survive.

    ???????? But this kind of thing.

    It¡¯s useless for them to discuss it anymore.

    After some discussion, I still had to ask Qiao Mu.

    Some who really had no idea expressed loudly that they would let Qiao Mu decide and they believed her.

    Qiao Mu actually doesn't know the specific situation, so she can only say that when new dynasties are established, the authorities will not be too strict. The most basic thing is to lighten the corvee, so the taxation should not be too excessive, so don't worry too much.  :

    ¡°The most important thing now is for everyone to discuss how this field should be divided, and after the field is divided, should we open up some more fields?

    Now I have two ideas about dividing the fields.

    One is simply to divide it based on population.

    First, calculate the total number of acres of farmland in our village, then calculate the total population of our village, and divide the number of acres of farmland by the population.

    This is the land that everyone deserves.

    It has nothing to do with age, gender, old or young. Anyway, every person counts as one, including newborns.

    Another is that those who are stronger and stronger are allocated slightly more land, but appropriate subsidies need to be provided to families who are allocated less land, are weak, or have relatively insufficient labor at home.

    ?????????????? However, this division is rather annoying, and each family has different thoughts on what to do specifically.

    It¡¯s better for you to discuss it among yourselves.

    Later, everyone will raise their hands to vote.  "

    Whether or not to tax and how much tax to collect is not something Qiao Mu can decide, so of course this issue must be postponed for the time being, and the matters that can be decided should be resolved as soon as possible and settled, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares.

    Next, there was obviously another discussion.

    This discussion didn¡¯t last very long. Not long after, someone said they could vote, and Qiao Mu, of course, took advantage of the situation and asked everyone to raise their hands.

    Raise your hands if you agree to divide the population equally.??

    Those who disagree will not be raised.

    There is no need to count the final result. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, it is clear that the vast majority of people agree to be divided equally according to the population. Because everyone is not stupid, can't they still open up wasteland later? Of course, the strong and healthy people would rather divide the points equally.  , and then open up more land by myself, and I don¡¯t want to take more land now. Later, I will have to subsidize others every year.

    This subsidy will be paid in which month and year.

    Is it better to post more and less?

    At the same time, those whose families have insufficient labor force are also reluctant, because at present, the shortage of labor force in their villages is basically because they have children at home.

    The child is not old enough.

    You can¡¯t work like an adult.

    ????????? In addition, mother¡¯s health is not good either.

    This leads to a shortage of labor at home.

    It sounds good to share less money and enjoy subsidies from others, but it is impossible to divide the land again when the children grow up, so even if it is for the sake of their children, they are willing to work a little harder.

    Of course, there may be some who are willing to allocate more fields for subsidies, and some who are willing to allocate less fields and enjoy subsidies from others, but the number of these two types of people is relatively small and cannot affect the final voting results.

    So the matter was settled quickly.

    And it was agreed that the fields would be measured and divided tomorrow.

    As for whether to open up wasteland or not, this has been discussed by everyone. It depends on personal preference. After the land is divided, if you want to open up wasteland, you can open up wasteland. If you don't want to, forget it. In the end, no matter what the result is, everyone can just accept it. In this way, everyone can be happy.

    Wait until these two things are discussed.

    Qiao Mu then announced that the meeting was adjourned and everyone went back to their homes.

    That night, many people actually didn't get a good sleep. Although it was a foregone conclusion, everyone was still a little worried. Some were worried about whether they would be able to pay taxes. Some were worried about what would happen to their reclaimed land without title deeds.  Whether it can be recognized, there are still some worries about whether the harmonious coexistence of their village in the past can continue.

    The inherent living environment is broken.

    The inherent order has to change.

    Anyone who likes stability will feel a little uneasy because of this. It cannot be said that they are complacent.

    It¡¯s just that they are really afraid of the unknown.

    ??Afraid that the situation will be worse than it is now.

    People who have no food, no warmth, no assets, and may starve to death at any time, naturally long for change. However, although their life in the widow's village cannot be said to be very good, at least they cannot starve to death. This has already made them  satisfy.

    So it¡¯s normal to be afraid of change.

    But no matter what, after getting up and eating some sweet potatoes the next morning, the villagers came to the field ridge on time and waited to measure the fields. Although they may not be literate or understand, such a very important thing  thing.

    They still want to participate.

    However, it is useless for them to participate.

    Because Qiao Mu only discovered in the morning that there were no big measuring tools in the village, not to mention the original family. You couldn't use a wooden ruler for cutting clothes to measure the fields. Then you had to measure the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

    Therefore, Qiao Mu could only send everyone away and let them work first, and then planned to use some of the village's reserve money with Zhu Hongxia, the deputy village chief, to buy a measuring tool.

    ¡°Otherwise, there would be no way to divide this field.

    In addition, they may have to buy some more farm tools, because the farm tools now are shared by everyone. If they are separated later, the farm tools will definitely have to be divided. The current quantity is definitely not enough, so they will have to add more.  point.

    In short, their idea of ??dividing the land is too simple.

    There are many things they didn¡¯t expect.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Naturally, various contradictions will arise.

    So if it can be divided fairly.

    You still have to try to be as fair as possible.

    Only by considering all aspects and taking everything into consideration can it be conducive to the harmony of the village.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
