After a period of preparation, the imperial court finally decided to distribute the land.
First, he would use Xianyang City as a trial. After success, he would then carry out the distribution work all over the world.
Li Si brought the imperial edict and went straight to Xianyang City.
There was a lively market here.
Many commoners gathered here to do small businesses.
When they saw a group of people walking over, all the commoners consciously made way for them.
Li Si arrived at the center of the market.
However, he saw that the commoners were far away.
Therefore, they could only call for the military officers to beat the drums and gongs to gather the people.
Seeing that there was a commotion here, the commoners quickly gathered.
"What happened? What happened?"
"I don't know. It suddenly became lively.”
"Let's go take a look. That looks like the Prime Minister.”
"Don't talk nonsense. Why would the Prime Minister come to such a place?”
"It's the Prime Minister. I've seen him from afar before.”
"Then what's going on?"
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look.”
A large group of people quickly gathered together.
He saw Prime Minister Li Si standing in the middle with a scroll of imperial edict in his hand.
Among the crowd, there were also spies of the nobles.
Upon seeing this situation, they were also slightly surprised.
"What is Li Si up to now?
"No matter what he's up to, we have to go and take a look. This Li Si has made us miserable.”
"How good would it be if there were assassins in the crowd?”
"Don't even think about it. Those around Li Si are all Iron Eagle Swordsmen from the Black Ice Platform. How would an ordinary assassin dare to go up? Even if they did, they would be courting death.”
"That's why there aren't any brave people in our noble class. If there were people like Jing Ke and Gao Jianli, Li Si would be dead.”
"Then you can be this person!"
"Stop joking. Even if I lose my land, my family's assets are enough for me to live for the rest of my life. I won't court death.”
"Then that's it. Let's go and take a look!”
Soon, they gathered together and saw Li Si holding an imperial edict.
After the crowd had gathered, he raised the imperial edict in his hand and said to the people,"Everyone, the imperial edict in my hand is to distribute land.”
Land distribution!
The commoners rolled their eyes when they heard that.
In this day and age, officials only covet land.
They would only buy land from them at a low price and squeeze them.
Since when did they give out land?
Someone took the lead and shouted.
"You officials must not make fun of us commoners.”
"How can there be an official in the world who shares land? You guys aren't hiding any conspiracy, right?”
Li Si smiled." Absolutely not. This time, we are indeed going to give everyone land. I am Prime Minister Li Si."”
When everyone heard that it was Li Si, they immediately dispersed.
All of them were trembling with fear.
Some of them even knelt on the ground in fear.
" Everyone, get up!" Li Si quickly said." Don't be afraid!"”
"This time, His Majesty has explicitly forbidden the great clans and landowners of the world from seizing land. Everyone has heard that the land was re-measured in order to distribute the land.”
"At the same time, our state preceptor Chen Ke also gave us three to four thousand catties of grain seeds per mu.”
When he said that, the commoners were instantly dumbfounded.
Three to four thousand catties of grain seeds per mu!
How was this possible?
"Prime Minister, don't scare us. How can there be such a high yield of seeds?”
"That's right, there's no such thing!"
Li Si said," Whether it's high or not, we have to experiment. In order to let everyone have land to grow this kind of food, I'll take back the land from the big families and distribute it today.”
"I'll give it to each of you. You guys go and plant it.”
Then, Li Si opened the imperial edict and read the contents in front of everyone.
The content of the imperial edict was the same as what he had just said.
The nobles were among the crowd.
After hearing this imperial edict, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Li Si, oh Li Si.
You're courting death.
When the people heard the contents of the imperial edict, they cheered wildly.
Some people knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Some people cried and kowtowed.
However, someone immediately raised their doubts.
"Prime minister, although this land is now in our hands, can we keep it?”
"After all, you also know that these aristocrats and landowners are not good people. If the imperial court can take their land back to the imperial court and distribute it to us, they will have a way to extort it back from us.”
"When the time comes, if we take the land, it will be like a hot potato. We won't be able to lose it, nor will we be able to keep it.”
The commoners all said," That's right. The Wang family, the big landlord in our village, has raised a lot of scoundrels. We don't dare to offend them. If we take their land, they might come to our house in the middle of the night and rob our house. What should we do in this situation?”
"Prime minister, we don't dare to take this land!”
Li Si had already expected this.
Thus, he took out another imperial edict.
He said," His Majesty has also made preparations for this matter. Here is another edict from His Majesty. I know that there must be people from the Dali Race in the crowd, so I will announce this edict here.”
The imperial edict was strict. If any big landlord or noble took revenge on the people who were distributed the land, as long as the people reported it, the imperial court would send troops to suppress them. And they will all be dealt with as felons."
"Therefore, I advise those big landowners and nobles to consider carefully. Do you want to joke about breaking the law, or do you want to obediently watch the land be distributed? After all, the imperial court has not taken back all your land.”
When he said this, the commoners cheered wildly again.
Hence, Li Si and the other ministers began to distribute the land.
This time, the distribution of land was very rigorous and orderly. The commoners received a booklet.
There was a measurement of the size of the land on it, and the smallest piece of land was divided into more than three acres.
This was a great gift from the heavens for the people who had never had land before. As a result, they were even more loyal to the emperor.
The distribution of land was a huge project even in the vicinity of Xianyang City. Thousands of officials came to distribute the land together. Although no one made trouble, they were busy until night before they finally distributed the land around Xianyang City.
To the commoners, this was a good thing, but to the nobles, it was the arrival of winter.
Thus, when they saw that the imperial court had not stopped, they finally could not hold back their restless hearts.
At this time, Chen Ke received an invitation from the Ancestral Dragon and came to the highest point of Xianyang City. He said that there was a lively scene to watch.
Chen Ke had just arrived at the highest point when he saw flames rising into the sky in the distance.
"Your Majesty, is that the show you were talking about?”
"Yes!" The Ancestral Dragon nodded slightly.
