Chapter 17: The Family


Seeing this scene, Shen Chai and Zhao Hu's faces became ugly.The little boy was about to cry, and Shen Chai touched his head and put on a smiling face."

Don't cry, we won't beat you, and we won't ask for your silver taels, but the letter must be left, take the money and go home quickly, don't go outside the city again.""

Hmm."

The little boy nodded repeatedly.When the little boy left, Shen Chai looked at the few letters in his hand, opened them one by one, and handed them to Zhao Hu after a while."

There are seven letters in total, all of them are people from the county ya, three classes and six rooms, from the third order of the day after tomorrow to the ninth order of the day after tomorrow, according to the description of the child, he is not the only one who sent the letter, I am afraid that the number of people in the county government has received this letter of coercion and temptation.""

Hmph, carving insect skills.These big families, coming and going are these old-fashioned methods. ”Zhao Hu looked disdainful."

The most old-fashioned ones are usually the most effective."

Shen chased the road."

And the Yang family is different from the Li family, although the Yang family is also rampant in the township, but it is very credible.The price that is offered will never be reversed, and I am afraid that many people will be tempted. ”"This matter must be reported to the county."

Zhao Hu said solemnly."

Let's go."

Shen Chai nodded.County office, law enforcement hall.Today's county government has a lot more people than in the past, because the county zun issued a ban 20 days ago, almost all the people in the three classes and six rooms are in the county office.However, the atmosphere was a little different, when Shen Chai walked through the martial arts arena, he saw many officials whispering in the corner in groups, and few people greeted each other between colleagues, even if they occasionally looked at each other, they were all full of vigilance and suspicion."

These letters, even if no one will agree, the purpose of the Yang family has been achieved."

Shen Chai couldn't help but be a little worried.It has made people panic and wary of each other within the county government, and it is obvious that it has now had an effect.Walking all the way to the Law Enforcement Ming Hall, Shen Chai, Zhao Hu and others found Master Liu's book and presented the envelope."

Let it go."

Master Liu didn't even look at the envelope, his eyes were expressionless."

The master book, the subordinates and Shen Chaser have all been torn up.These envelopes may be harmful to the morale of our county's ya, and I also ask the chief bookkeeper to make a plan as soon as possible." ”Master Liu raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Hu."

You two are not the first to receive these threatening letters, so now we can only wait and see.""

But the main book" Zhao Hu was anxious."

Do you just leave it alone?""

How?"

Master Liu said lightly."

In the past seven days, no less than 300 envelopes have come here to hand over envelopes!

Each received multiple copies, and counting.Almost all of these messengers are children and people who are greedy for small profits, and they only know how to collect money and send letters, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is not in the city at all.Even the official received eight letters!

Those ignorant children wrapped envelopes in stones and threw them into the official's mansion in the middle of the night, and the windows of the official's wing room were smashed to pieces!

”"You think this official doesn't want to get a good night's sleep?""

Me!"

Zhao Hu was robbed of his white by Master Liu, and his face suddenly turned red, and he stiffened his neck and said, "That subordinate asks for his life and goes out of the city to handle the case." ”"The ban on the county has not been lifted, and no one is allowed to leave the city!""

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it true that the master is watching the people die in vain outside the city!""

Presumptuous!"

Master Liu was furious."

The master book is angry."

Seeing this, Shen Chai hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zhao Hu behind him."

Zhao Hu lost his words for a while, and asked the master to forgive his sins."

Master Liu glanced at Shen Chai, and immediately waved his hand a little irritably."

One by one, they all use this official as a punching bag, Shen Chase, hurry up and take him out of here, if you have something in the martial arts room, go directly to Wang Long.If you dare to point fingers at this official again, you won't be so good at talking next time. ”"Thank you, my subordinates will take their leave."

Out of the law enforcement hall, Zhao Hu angrily broke away from Shen Chai's hand: "Wouldn't such inaction encourage the arrogance of those clan moths?!"

Let's go, let's go to Wang Bantou now. ”Shen Chai stood still and didn't move: "Brother Hu, it's useless for you to go to Wang Bantou now." ”"So what do you say you should do?""

Wait.""

When?""

Wait until the seedlings are strong enough, wait until the weeds emerge on their own."

Zhao Hu patted his head, turned back from the front, and stared at Shen Chai with some confusion."

Brother, do you know something?""

Why do you ask that?""

When my father was still alive, he told me that if someone said something I didn't understand, they were either stupid or knew more than I did.Brother Shen, you are definitely not a fool, then there must be something I don't know. ”Shen Chai knew that if he didn't break things up and explain to Zhao Hu today, he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep, so he pulled Zhao Hu to the secluded pavilion behind the county office."

Although these recent events have caused a lot of trouble, to sum up, the methods of the main messenger behind the scenes are actually just one sentence.""

Prices are raised inside the city, and displaced people are created outside the city.""

And intercepting officers and soldiers."

Zhao Hu added."

Not bad."

Shen Chai nodded, signaling him to be calm."

But that alone isn't enough for us to start an all-out war with the two families.""

Prices skyrocket, which happens every winter, is inevitable.Looking forward for three years, the county lord was able to suppress the small families in the city, so that they did not dare to go too far, so they were safe and sound. ”"This year's increase is only slightly higher than in previous years, but because of the large influx of displaced people from outside the city, this has caused some unrest.From a legal point of view, the county lord can't rely on this reason to take action against the Li and Yang families" "What about those disaster victims?

”Zhao Hu couldn't help but say."

It's a big sin to create a homeless people!""

That's a good question."

Shen Chai nodded."

How did the outcasts come about?""

Displaced people are a group of people who have no property in their own fields and no surplus food to survive the winter, so they have to leave their homes.""

But why are there so many people who have rarely been displaced in previous years, but there are so many people this year?""

That's because these people don't have land in the first place, or because of excessive taxes, or because of drought and floods, and it is better to farm alone than to work for others to reap more.Often, they have to sell their fields and take refuge in the hands of wealthy families.From then on, it was the family's land that was planted in exchange for living expenses, which was the tenant. ”"The advantage of a tenant is that as long as the family does not fall, there is no need to worry about taxes and buying their own farming tools to cultivate the fields.Normally, in order to maintain stability, even when there is no grain to harvest in winter and summer, tenants can also obtain basic living materials by doing other work for the main family, which can be said to be a guarantee of income in drought and flood. ”"The disadvantage is that no matter how well the tenants do, most of the income from these fields belongs to the family, and there is only money to meet the basic necessities.In the event of a disaster year, in order to maintain their luxurious life, the family will not even give the tenants a little ration. ”"It can be said that the life and death of a tenant depends on the thought of the family.""

When the family has sufficient resources, it can control the right to speak on the pricing of materials, and when the family sets the resources low, those who are originally registered freedmen can maintain their families by cultivating their own acres of land.""

But when the price of goods becomes high, the money and grain obtained from cultivating an acre of land is not as good as working for the family, and even the clothes, oil and salt cannot be exchanged, then these registered free people often choose to sell their fields and become slaves!""

Over time, there have been more and more tenants, and the family's territory has become larger and larger.There is even a medium-sized township outside Heyuan County, with thousands of acres of land, and 300 households are all the land of the Li family, and the servants of the Li family!

”"And these tenants, who plant the family's fields, eat the family's rice, and even live in the family's house, will naturally safeguard the interests of the big family and believe in the authority of the big family!

Even if there is a family law, not a law!

”"At the same time, the family power of those families has expanded, the incense is prosperous, and they are worshiped by the believers, and the ancestors of the two families, Yin Shen, will also grow!

At the same time, you can use the power of these yin gods to cultivate masters one by one. ”"On the other hand, the deities of the temple dedicated to the city god in the city will become weak.Under the long-term success, even the ancestor Yin God of the big family is even more powerful than the gods of the City God Temple!

”"Of course, this line, few big families will touch, otherwise what awaits them is the entry of the army and uprooting them."
