Chapter 503: The family has the throne and the inheritance (28)

"I do." Su Ping choked and agreed.

All the emotions came together and turned into tears.

His Highness did not dislike her for being someone else's concubine. He once flattered his enemy Zhao Weicheng and wanted her to be the head of Yuehe Village.

"You have to be mentally prepared, your village chief may not do things too smoothly." Zi Hua reminded.

Yuehe Village fell into the hands of the Zhao family more than 20 years ago. Under the tyranny of the Zhao family, the villagers in Yuehe Village did not have the opportunity to study. There were only a handful of people who learned some words from their elders.

There are not many candidates who are qualified to serve as village chief. So far, there is only one, Su Ping.

Su Ping is half from Lihe Village.

Her mother is from Lihe Village and her father is from Hezhou Prefecture. The two got married after meeting in Hezhou Prefecture.

Shortly after getting married, the two returned to live in Lihe Village.

Su Ping's parents were a new type of couple stipulated in Daxia law. They were not married. They were both knowledgeable, which made them stand out among the villagers of Yuehe Village.

Su Ping's mother died of illness when Su Ping was five years old. Because the Zhao family became increasingly domineering in Yuehe Village, Su Ping's father took Su Ping away from Yuehe Village and moved to Hezhou Prefecture.

The two fathers and daughters only went back to Yuehe Village for a day or two to pay homage to Su Ping's mother.

Three years ago, Su Ping's father brought Su Ping back to worship his mother again, but Zhao Weicheng bumped into him.

Zhao Weicheng fell in love with Su Ping and wanted to take Su Ping as his concubine.

The laws of Daxia had long ago abolished the practice of concubinage, stipulating that only one husband and one wife could be allowed, and also vigorously promoted a new type of marriage, that is, a man would not marry a woman for the sake of marriage, and the man and woman would establish a new household after they got married.

Only in recent years, concubinage has been on the rise again, but the law prohibiting concubinage in Daxia has not changed. Concubines are not recognized on the stage, and the status of concubines taken is worse than that of the previous Xia Dynasty, and they are equivalent to slaves.

No daughter of a good family is willing to be a concubine.

Su Ping's father was a supporter of the new style of marriage. How could he let his daughter be a concubine, and the concubine of a rich man from a fish and meat village?

The Zhao family is used to being arrogant. If Su Ping's father doesn't agree, they will rob people.

Zhao Weicheng injured Su Ping's father, took Su Ping away, and forced Su Ping to sign a voluntary concubine agreement. The Zhao family threatened Su Ping's father, so Su Ping had to sign.

Su Ping's father was seriously injured and unwilling to leave Su Ping and return to the state, so he passed away within two months.

Su Ping did not die with her father because her father's revenge had not been avenged, and she would not rest in peace even if she died.

There were seven Zhao family members and thugs involved in killing his father.

If faced head-on, she wouldn't be able to kill anyone.

Moreover, Zhao Weicheng was always on guard against her, and there were people watching her wherever she was.

Su Ping chose to hibernate.

After a period of preparation, she seemed to have accepted her fate, and then gradually changed her attitude towards Zhao Weicheng, and then flattered him, and gained some of Zhao Weicheng's trust.

With the help of Zhao Weicheng, she successively killed two thugs who killed her father.

He also used a trick to make Zhao Weicheng, a clan nephew, fall into the kiln pit and die. It was this clan nephew who bumped into her and ran to pay tribute to Zhao Weicheng.

News of the changes in Jinsuo Village came. Among the people in Zhaojia Village who secretly asked for help from Yuhua, Su Ping was one of them.

Zi Hua took a fancy to Su Ping's knowledge and her character of forbearance when it was necessary and resolute when it was necessary.

"I'm not afraid. Compared with the Zhao family, the villagers are much gentler." Su Ping was full of fighting spirit.

When Zihua announced that the village chief would be Su Ping, none of the villagers in Lihe Village raised any objections, but judging from their expressions, few of them were really willing. If they didn't object, they would not dare. This was also because the village chief of Su Ping was their benefactor, His Highness. appointed.

Next comes the disposal of the acres.

The way of handling the fields in Yuehe Village is different from that in Jinsuo Village. Juehua turned all the fields in Yuehe Village into public land.

Worried not by scarcity but by inequality, the villagers of Yuehe Village became dissatisfied.

They didn't dare to go to Yuhua, so they went to the newly appointed village chief Su Ping.

The village committee of Lihe Village used a yard formerly belonging to the Zhao family.

After hearing the news, the villagers rushed into the yard.

"Your Highness, has she abandoned us? Wuwu..."

"Why don't you claim the land for us? It's in the Daxia Law. Those acres were originally ours."

"The villagers of Jinsuo Village can apply for it, but why can't we, the people of Yuehe Village, apply for it?"

"Village Chief Su, please beg His Highness for mercy. As long as we can apply for it, I am willing to hand over 40% of the harvest."

"Without the land and the workshop, how can we live in the future?"

Facing the surrounding villagers, Su Ping simply jumped on the stone table in the yard and shouted, "Everyone be silent."

After receiving village chief training, Su Ping had a deep understanding of the purpose of His Highness's various measures. She had a plan to deal with the villagers' possible reactions to the announcement that the acres were listed as public land.

Su Ping looked at villager Li Tuwa, "You said all the fields belong to you? Have you forgotten what the Daxia Law says, all the fields belong to the royal family. As far as I know, Lihe Village has been We stopped applying for new land acres. Why didn’t you talk about redistributing land acres at that time?

In the past twenty years, all the land in Yuehe Village has been occupied by the Zhao family. Why don't you ask the Zhao family with the Daxia Law and ask the Zhao family to return the land so that you can claim it. "

Li Tuwa lowered her head with her face flushed.

Su Ping looked at another villager, "You said now that you are willing to pay 40% of the harvest. If you are really asked to apply for it, you will be asked to pay 40%. Then you should say, why should the people of Jinsuo Village pay 30%? You have to pay 40%.

Do you dare to swear that you will never complain? "

The villager did not dare to look at Su Ping.

His eyes moved to She Erniu, a villager next to him, "How can you live without claiming land? His Highness sent someone to carry you out of the Zhao family brick kiln when you were dying. What do you think you call working in the workshop? That's called selling your life.

If it weren't for Your Highness, your life would have been sold long ago. "

"I didn't mean that...I, I..." She Erniu wanted to defend himself, but couldn't find a reason.

Su Ping stopped arguing with the others and said to everyone, "Did you even read half of the notice? The notice clearly states that all people in Lihe Village can sign up to work in public fields.

The remuneration is the same as that in Jinsuo Village, 70%. After the harvest is weighed on site, we get 70%. I've signed up, so that includes me. How could His Highness dislike us? If he really did, why did His Highness come to save us..."

The villagers were gradually convinced by Su Ping.

Seventy percent of the harvest was more than what they would get if they applied for the land themselves.

And the more you do, the more you get.

Juhua has given Su Ping the responsibility for public land announcement and emergency response. So far, it seems that Su Ping has done a good job.

Turning all acres of land into public land is the goal of Juhua.

Only when the villagers work together in the public fields can they develop cohesion, which is what those who currently control the court are afraid of.
