Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin
Chapter 2: Got what he wanted and became the owner of the manor
Before he knew it, the moon was in the middle of the sky. Zhao Zhen sat facing the moon, holding the land deed, house deed, and tenant's body deed in his left hand, and the ancient book in his right hand. Under the shining of the two moons, Zhao Zhen's whole body gradually faded away until he disappeared.
Zhao Jin and Zhao Xiang, who were watching from afar, laughed loudly. Zhao Zhen had awakened successfully, and then the two of them also gradually faded away and entered their own fantasy worlds.
Zhao Zhen only felt that his consciousness seemed to be taken away, and his soul traveled through time and space, feeling a magnificent era. All kinds of people, all kinds of people, all kinds of people, all kinds of people. The lights were bright, the traffic was busy, and the tall buildings were brightly lit. The various scenes of the market passed by like a passing cloud, and a large number of pictures squeezed into his mind in an instant. Floating and swaying, with nowhere to focus.
I don't know how long it took, but his consciousness returned to his body, and Zhao Zhen regained control of his body.
Opening his eyes, Zhao Zhen found himself in a study, sitting behind a desk.
There were two books on the desk. One was a large volume with "Water Margin" written on the cover. Zhao Zhen saw that it was a guide and did not pay attention to it. The other one was "Xixi Village Chronicles". Zhao Zhen was delighted that his fantasy world was actually a village.
Zhao Zhen opened "Xixi Village Chronicles" and read it carefully. In the village on the left side of the creek, the villagers were mainly Zhao, Zhu, Li, and Chao. There were also more than a dozen surnames such as Wang, Tang, and Ding. There were 120 households and 622 people. The cultivated land area was more than 2,300 acres. There were 500 acres of forest, 300 acres of grassland, and 15 acres of river beach. After a hundred years of changes and land transfer, the Zhao family got all the land of Xixi Village, and the rest were all Zhao's farmers and tenants. Across the creek to the east of the village was Dongxi Village. The village head was Chao. It was passed down from generation to generation that the two villages shared the creek water. In the years of abundant water, there was no trouble. In the years of drought, there were often fights for water, and the two villages became enemies.
According to the village chronicles, in the first month of the fifth year of the Qingli period, Zhao Dalang could not stand the loneliness and moved to the county town to live. Zhao Taigong followed him, and only Erlang was left to take care of the village. In February, Taigong and Dalang returned through the fog, encountered robbers on the road, and died. Only one farmhand, Zhao Ji, escaped with injuries. Later, Erlang took over the position of Baozheng.
Zhao Zhen loved to use guns and sticks since he was a child. No one disciplined him. He worked hard all day long. He also loved to meet good men, regardless of their origins. He would stay in the farm when he lived there, and give money when he left. Therefore, people called him Little Mengchang.

After reading the village history, Zhao Zhen opened the attribute column.
Zhao Zhen clicked on the industry one by one and looked at it carefully. There were 2 urgent things he needed to deal with.
The first thing: In another month, the wheat should be harvested, and it is necessary to repair the farm tools, repair the threshing ground, and check the granary.
The second thing: Zhu Sha, the manager at the dock, reported that a small fishing boat was overturned, two fishermen were killed, and their bodies were missing. A month ago, Zhu Sha drove a medium-sized fishing boat along the north of the stream into the reed marsh and went deep into the lake to fish. When he returned, he saw Li Qing's fishing boat overturned in the stream. Although the boat was pulled back to the dock, Li Qing and Li Jiadalang were missing. I heard that there were two boat capsizing accidents in Dongxi Village. Fishermen heard that there were water ghosts in the stream, and no one dared to go fishing.
The first thing can be arranged. Zhao Zhen has no idea about the second thing. There is a knock on the door. Zhao Zhen agreed. The manager of the manor, Zhao Yuanli, came in and reported: "Master, all the managers have come to the front hall. Should we start discussing now?"
"Yes." Zhao Zhen thought that this should be to meet the main people in the village. He followed Zhao Yuanli to the front hall without stopping. The main seat was empty. Seven or eight people were standing together and talking. When they saw Zhao Zhen coming in, they bowed and greeted him, calling him the master of the manor.
Zhao Zhen sat at the main seat and said, "Let's get started."
The steward Zhao Yuanli said, "Master, the kitchen reported that there have been no big fish for many days. The master ordered to make a peace locket with herring bones, but it will take some time. In addition, the county ordered that four four-bearded carp be handed in as autumn taxes this year, but they are not ready yet."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhu Sha took a step forward and said, "Master, it's not that we are lazy, but there are ghosts in the water and no one dares to go in. Recently, I have only picked up some shrimps and shellfish by the stream to provide for the expenses of the manor. The big black fish can only be caught in deep water, and the four-bearded carp must go through the reed marsh to go to the lake to fish, and there are only a few fish in a month. According to the master's instructions, a notice has been posted in the county for more than a month, offering a reward of ten gold coins to catch ghosts. A wandering monk took the notice and agreed to exorcise the ghost tomorrow."
"Very good, let's see tomorrow." Zhao Zhen listened to everyone's report while clicking on everyone's introduction.
There are
One manor manager: Zhao Yuanli (not yet in the rank)
Two tenant heads: Ding Chou, Tang Ting (not yet in the rank)
Wharf manager: Zhu Sha (not yet in the rank)
Two ranch managers: Li You, Chao Cuo (not yet in the rank)
Forestry manager: Tang Sen (not yet in the rank)
Head of the guard: Zhao Ji (not yet in the rank)
Zhao Zhen said: "Apart from this, is there anything else?"
Tang Ting stepped forward: "Master, this year there are 5 families with two men who have both reached adulthood. Should we divide the households before the autumn harvest?"
"Well, there is nothing to do today, so let's do this first."
You know why we need to divide the households? It's because more households means more taxes, and the government's income will increase. Except for Zhao Zhen's family, the rest of Xixi Village are tenants, and the propertyless families do not have to pay taxes. There is another benefit, which is also the biggest reason why the manor owner is willing to maintain this measure. After the division of households, the power of family clansmen will naturally be weakened, and the risk of resisting the exploitation of the ruling class will be reduced...
"Let's go." The stewards bowed and said goodbye. Ding Chou and Tang Ting stayed at the end. Zhao Zhen picked up the teacup on the table, drank it in one gulp, and stood up to follow Ding and Tang out of the manor.
Zhao Ji was already waiting outside the door. Two farmhands behind him had knives hanging from their waists. One held a gun for Zhao Zhen, and the other held a jujube wood stick.
Tang Ting went to inform the family of the division of households. Ding Chou led the way to the ancestral hall. There were already three families waiting in front of the ancestral hall. Zhao Zhen ordered the door of the ancestral hall to be opened and went to burn incense first.
In a moment, the other two families also arrived.
Zhao Zhen listened to the statement of the head of the household. The property was clearly divided and the son had no objection. He ordered the contract to be written, signed and sealed, and filed.
World feedback
On May 15, the division of households, households +5, a total of 125 households.
