"Okay, then let me first explain the rules for dividing the land this time."

Zhao Jun shouted, and the crowd quietly began to listen carefully.

"First of all, we are dividing the land based on the number of people this time. Since there are not too many terraced fields in total, each adult will get half an acre of land, and each child over six years old will get five acres of land. Do you have any objections?"

This was what Zhao Jun had discussed with Magistrate Tan before. Based on the current total number of terraced fields, this division should be enough.

"no comment."

"Yes, yes, very good. Thank you, sir."

"That's great. My family is big and we can get seven acres of land."

No one expected that the distribution based on headcount would be so fair.

Before, they thought that the distribution would be based on the contribution to the construction of the terraces, or based on property as before.

No one expected that the distribution would be based on the number of people, and that even teenagers were counted.

Now those who have many children are very happy.

However, families with smaller families are not angry, as they cannot handle the work with too few people and too much land.

"Okay, if you all agree, let me talk about the second point. Everyone can see that these are terraced fields. Some people's fields may be far away on the hillside. I know that the higher fields are difficult to cultivate and require more effort. So when the fields are divided, the upper fields are given priority to those with more people and more labor. The lower fields that are closer to home are given to families with fewer people. Everyone should take care of each other."

"At the same time, we will give those at the top, who are the farthest away, one or two more points as appropriate, so that everyone can be taken care of as much as possible."

"We have no objection, it's a good idea."

"Yes, we are all from the same county, so we help each other."

The people who were speaking were from families with large families, and they had no objections, so the others had even less objections.

Du Jiang, who was standing silently in the corner, breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes a little moist.

They have the smallest family, but they never expected that they could get one and a half mu of land, and it’s in a place that’s good for farming.

That’s really great. With these fields, their lives will be much better.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's start dividing the land."

As soon as Zhao Jun gave the order, cheers were heard and the crowd began to divide the land.

This time, the county magistrate called in several respected veterans in the county.

Soon everyone got a piece of land that satisfied them.
