"Why is this?" Li Fumu's face was full of confusion.

In his opinion, although the imperial court restricted land transactions, in the final analysis, land could still be transferred and not completely blocked.

It seems ridiculous that money cannot buy land.

The young man shook his head and couldn't help but say, "So, the land deed must be changed, and I have to go to the yamen. My identity as a scholar is enough, but it is difficult to sell it locally."

As he said that, he couldn't help but popularize local rules for the young yamen.

Whether in the city or in the countryside, buying and selling houses, or land deeds, is not an easy task.

Although these things are theoretically your property, they cannot be sold just by selling them. For example, if you sell a house, you must give priority to your relatives and clans. If they don’t want to buy them, you can only find outsiders.

After that, you have to ask your neighbors in all directions. If you change the house, it has affected them and they also have the right of purchase.

If they really don’t want to buy it, you can only find outsiders and you have to get their approval.

Therefore, this is the reason why distant relatives are worse than close neighbors.

Nearby neighbors are sometimes even more important than relatives.

Especially in this era of strong local autonomy.

As for buying and selling land, this is even more true. When the clan agrees, neighbors agree, or even sells, the villagers must be given priority.

It can only be sold to outsiders when there is no way.

Of course, if you are a powerful person, this is a different matter.

And this is why the ancients were keen to buy land from their hometowns rather than from other places.

Nothing else, whether it is rules, human nature, or long-term consideration, the land in my hometown is always the best.

"Then, your family has been in the local area for thirty years and can't buy land?"

Li Fumu said in surprise.

"If today's peace is coming, the people have all their expectations. It's too late to open up land. How can they sell their land?"

The young man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Besides, although my family has lived in it for decades and is registered here, it is still an outsider and is highly excluded."

"The reason is that there is no acre of land and the villagers regard it as refugees and outsiders."

"I had almost no participation in weddings and funerals before I became a scholar."

As he said that, he gritted his teeth and said with great relief: "A few days ago, I spent five days to cultivate five points of land, and only five points."

"But the villagers came to pay their respects. The gifts were heavier than when I was a scholar. Even the matchmakers from other places came to see me."

"The local squire and wealthy families have all the kind attitudes, and they really regard me as a local neighbor..."

Hearing this, Li Fumu became more and more surprised and asked, "Why is this? Just a place of size, is his attitude so changed?"

"Yane, as I said before, there is no land, it is just refugees, and even if it is a land of size, it is a free man, not a tenant, a straitor, a savage—"

The young man said with a happy look: "With this cow, I can cultivate thirty or fifty acres of land this year and raise it for two or three years, and then lay the foundation for the family business."

Hearing this, Li Fumu couldn't help but be happy and said, "After three or five years, will your family be a big local family?"

"Unless I'm a Juren!"

The young man said bluntly: "There is a high status that can bring you as much land. A scholar can only have at most 200 acres. No matter how many, he will be rejected and seized."

"And even these two hundred acres of land will take at least ten years of hard work."

As he spoke, the scholar continued to popularize knowledge, knowledge that could not be obtained in books.

To reclaim wasteland, you have to accumulate food for at least a year, and the whole family will work together. To add oxen, you can only thirty or fifty acres a year.

However, for this year's land reclamation, their family has prepared for three years before it can be done.

As for ordinary tenants, they can only cultivate during the slack farming period. It takes only 20 to 30 years to cultivate a mere ten acres of land.

It is absolutely impossible to climb from a tenant to a self-cultivated farmer without two generations of hard work.

"And I have only been shortened to three years after being a scholar."

After getting on the carriage, Li Fumu fell into deep thought.

He never considered that land was so important that it could determine the life and death of a family.

If this scholar did not pass the exam, then as he said, in his generation, there would not even be a marriage.

Natural persons die and the clan is destroyed.

However, land annexation will naturally lead to a large number of refugees.

The more important the land is, the more resentment the people will be.

As a result, a total of earth-shaking forces will naturally burst out, and even push down a certain imperial court. "Why is this?" Li Fumu's face was full of confusion.
