Wang Xiaowu father and son five, mother and a brother in front of them all died in the war, leaving five singles, originally in the chaos of western Liaoning, dad with the remaining brothers hid in the deep mountains and old forests to be savages, relying on hunting and picking wild fruits to survive, Lu Hanqiang came, after a few big battles, Liaoning settled down, got the news outside the mountain, said that the government began to contract land to the people, which made the father and son five people excited, so with a worried heart down the mountain, back to the original dilapidated village, Be prepared to see what happens.

As a result, after returning to the village, they were surprised to find that the village that had been devastated by the war had been revived, and those neighbors who were so poor that they could not open the pot could smoke from the chimney every morning.

As a result, the five grandfathers re-reported their household registration to the government, contracted 150 acres of good land, and finally realized the landlord that his ancestors had dreamed of for generations.

After getting loans, buying farm tools and seeds, and reluctant to build even a simple nest, the family of five slept on the ground, bleeding and sweating day and night, tending to the precious land.

The land is fair, as long as you pay to him, he will give you a rich return, after a family of five people day and night efforts, just last autumn, in the missing arm of the Lizheng, after taking away 1,500 catties of grain, their father and son looked at the mountains of grain, as if in a dream, his father lay on the grain stack, thinking of the daughter-in-law who starved to death, the eldest son who died in the war howled and cried, if they caught up with the good time like now, the family was reunited together, how good it would be.

Just when the masters were worried about the abundance of food, an old man in the village quietly walked to their home and told them to quickly dig a cellar to hide these precious grains.

No matter which dynasty, what kind of government as long as the people have a little surplus wealth in their hands, they will try their best to loot it, so that your family is ruined, who knows if the current government is really as he did at the beginning.

So the father and son followed the old man's advice, and immediately dug the cellar quietly and night in the dark, but in the end one thing made them completely desperate, because they had harvested too much grain, and with the strength of the five of them, it was an absolutely impossible task to dig out the cellar where the grain was hidden.

And just when the father and son were desperately digging the cellar, Li Zheng, who was missing an arm, walked into their humble home with a group of people, which made their father and son shocked, and the father hurriedly greeted him respectfully, bowing with a smiling face, wanting to divert this Li Zheng's eyes from the grain mountain.

As a result, this Li Zheng walked directly to the grain stack, reached out and grabbed a handful of grain, looked at it carefully, laughed at his father, and stretched out a thumbs up: "Yes, yes, your Wang is honest is indeed a good crop, a good crop that comes out, a good grain that is made, tell me, how many of these you have."

Just this sentence made my father want to cry without tears at that time, because he knew that the cool official was coming, and his food could not be saved.

And at this time, Wang Xiaowu and his three elder brothers, one by one, with blood-red eyes, picked up their wooden sticks and pickaxes, and glared angrily at the group of people, as long as they dared to say a word, the four brothers would fight with them.

As a result, the father turned pale with fright, stomped his feet in a hurry, and roared angrily for them to put down the guy in his hand, and then turned to this Lizheng in his heart, begging for the government to raise his noble hand and leave him some food, even if it was just to make the master half full.

As a result, the four brothers who were looking at the fire in their eyes, and then looked at Wang Laoshi, who nodded and pleaded, and understood that their father and son had misunderstood him, so he laughed and said: "My brother Wang, you misunderstood, I didn't come to you to search for the autumn breeze, I came to help you sell grain."

Then he pointed to a few people behind him, and said to Wang honestly: "Come on, come on, let me introduce you, this is the logistics director of the Guanning Army, and this is the logistics director of our Fuliao Army, because our two armies have a large number of cavalry, we need good horse feed, and our sorghum is the best thing to feed war horses." ” Wang Laoshi nodded again and again: "The military master wants to use horse feed, of course we must be filial to the small people, so take it" I just wanted to say a number, but I wanted to come to my house with the logistics directors of the two armies, and I couldn't send it away if it was missing, so I gritted my teeth: "The little one is willing to give half of the grain." ” When Li Zheng heard this, he scolded solemnly at the time, "Who wants you to be filial, we have to spend money to buy it, what do you leave half of the amount for use Can you five eat so much After a year, this grain will be moldy, won't it be wasted in vain, I advise you to keep your share of the rations, and sell all the rest of the grain to our army, I tell you that the price is very reasonable, four dollars of silver per stone, you can't miss such a good opportunity." ” Li Zheng said this, he was afraid that Wang Laoshi would not believe it, so he beckoned to the outside of the courtyard, and a literati came in outside the courtyard, walked in front of Wang Laoshi with a package in his hand, opened the package and said to him: "If you want to sell grain, let's settle the money and goods, whether you want silver or copper coins or directly deposit it in the bank, you can choose." ” Wang Laoshi was completely stunned, he didn't know the silver, but he had seen copper coins, and the heavy bronze money in the cloth bag made his eyes straight, it was like a dream, but Li Zheng's impatient voice woke him up, "Do you sell it or not, if you don't sell it, I will take the two managers to another house." ” Teacher Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, stretched his neck and asked carefully, "You really use money to buy my grain, really don't knock the bone and suck the marrow, and take it by skill."

Li Zheng was angry: "I said that Wang is honest, you listen to me, I can't control the government of other places, as long as we are under the jurisdiction of the Governor, if anyone dares to knock the bones and suck the marrow of the people and take advantage of it, you can tell me directly, and I will tell the Inspector to cut off his head on the spot."

Then he told him very solemnly: "In Zhaojia Village, 20 miles away from us, that bastard is right, does not think about the kindness of the Inspector, is insatiable, and even acts as a prestige in that Zhaojia Village, constantly stealing and plundering, and also occupies a yellow flower girl, this matter made the people sue the government, the Inspector personally asked, and the evidence was conclusive, the Inspector directly cut off his dog's head with his own sword, you don't know this." t1706231537:
