[I remember that the fish scale atlas in the history textbook said that it was the Ming and Qing dynasties, and whether there was one in the Tang Dynasty, I don't know. But the so-called fish scale atlas is just a copy of the land distribution map on paper, piece by piece of land looks like fish scales on the body of the fish, so it took an image of the name, according to this idea, the Tang Dynasty should also have this kind of thing, but the specific name is not clear. 】

The price of cultivated land outside the city has risen rapidly, and in less than a day, it has risen back to the price of thousands of acres a few days ago.

The reason why it was so fast was that in addition to the emaciated foreign investors who had been waiting in the tooth shop but were tossed by the ups and downs of the price in the city, they chose to invest their funds in the farmland outside the city, and more importantly, there were still many lists for selling farmland in the tooth shop the afternoon of the previous day, but they all disappeared the next morning!

This qiē is naturally the goal has been achieved Lu Zongbao saw the opportunity to withdraw his list in the Yahang, and this made the foreign investors in the city believe that the farmland is rising, and will continue to rise, so the investors who cannot find arable land in the Yahang have followed the example of Lu Zongbao at the beginning, and set their sights on the countryside.

"There is no arable land in the tooth shop, go quickly, go to the countryside to buy land!"

"Yes, before the news spreads, buy the land in the hands of those hillbillies at a low price!"

"Reasonable! Go together!"

……

The action of the investors saved the farmers who were waiting under the old trees at the head of the village to see through the autumn water.

The purpose of these investors from other places to take advantage of the time difference to buy farmland at a low price has not been achieved, perhaps because of the cautiousness of the peasants, or perhaps someone has simply sent back the news of the increase in the price of farmland in the city in advance, so when they rush to the countryside, they are faced with the peasants who bite the price in unison and do not let go.

Or, who knows, is the villagers who are ready to fight like a great enemy? Life is full of unexpected changes, or surprises, or frightening......

To the north of Yuzhang City, a small village near Poyang Lake.

The farming families in the village have been fishing for generations, but there is still a lot of arable land in the village. This cultivated land is not recorded in the fish scale atlas of the household department, because the villagers have lived here for generations, and the land obtained by reclaiming lakes and land is considered "private land", that is, land that does not have to pay taxes.

This kind of land is close to the lake, and between the rise and fall of the lake, a large area of silt is left behind, and the land becomes more and more fertile. But in fact, the price of such cultivated land is not high, and it is often nearly 30% lower than the land price in other places.

The reason is that even if there is a transaction in these private lands, they cannot be registered with the government, because once registered, these "private lands" that do not pay taxes will enter the eyes of the officials, and the annual taxes will follow. However, not being officially recognized means not being protected by the government, and although the government is always weak and inactive in the face of the annexation of land by the powerful, it can still deter many small people who are not strong enough to hold an official brand. And these already fertile but not officially recognized arable land have become the sweets of many people.

Diao Lao Er is such a person who covets these fragrant glutinies.

All the villagers in this small village are surnamed Chen, and it is said that they are the descendants of Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen, and the ancestral hall of the village still enshrines Chen Shubao's tablet, and I don't know how to avoid the investigation of the county government.

The descendants of the royal family may sound noble, but the villagers of Chenjia Village really don't feel how noble they are. Chenjia Village is just a small village, with a total of more than 70 households, a total of about 300 people, and the people in the village are relatively exclusive, so the population of Chenjia Village has not risen much, and in such an era, population means strength.

Of course, the small village also has the advantages of a small village, because the people in the village are of the same clan, so they get along more harmoniously, and there is no intrigue of civil strife, men and women weave, go out early and return late, and live a comfortable pastoral life.

It's just that when this tranquility is facing a huge crisis, the strength of the small village seems a little weak.

Diao Lao Er of the neighboring village, the brother is on an errand in the county office, although the two brothers look like thieves, but they are pitiful to see a little sister who is bright and smart, born soft and charming, a pair of big eyes seem to hook the soul, breathtaking.

So, as soon as the two brothers combined, they gave the little sister to the county lord who was over half a hundred years old, and made a little concubine, this Diao Xiaomei is not a person who lives in peace.

After being a county concubine, the self-taught kung fu can finally be used, and the county lord who reads poetry and books is fascinated by three tricks and two styles, and the old trees bloom new flowers, which is wonderful and wonderful.

In this way, Diao Xiaomei's eldest brother Diao Boss is naturally proud of the spring breeze in the county government, like a fish in water, at first it was just a small catcher, and it didn't take long for him to become the head catcher, relying on the identity of the county's brother-in-law, he didn't even pay attention to the county on weekdays, and he became a tyrant in the county.

With such good resources, how can Diao Lao Er not walk sideways in the village?

Within a few years, Diao Lao Er turned most of the cultivated land in the village into the Diao family's industry, just like a rural landlord and old wealth.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and the cultivated land in the village has become his own, Diao Lao Er is a little dissatisfied, looking around the four fields, the land in the south is all the families in Yuzhang City, and he dare not touch it. The west side is close to Wuyue Town, Diao Lao and the two are not stupid, they know that the town is full of big people with hands and eyes, let alone him, even his cheap brother-in-law doesn't dare to squeak. To the north is a vast lake, and there is nowhere to annex it. As a result, only this Chenjia village in the east remained.

After inquiring in advance, I found that the population of this Chenjia Village is not large, but it is quite scary, the descendants of the royal family......! It's been dead for almost two hundred years.

Diao Lao Er is afraid of people, as long as his status is higher than him, he is afraid, but he is not afraid of ghosts, people die in the sky, they do not die for thousands of years, they have been dead for hundreds of years, and their bones have turned to ashes, where can Diao Lao Er be afraid? No matter whether you are a general or an emperor in front of you, after you die, you will still pour two bubbles of hot urine on your grave.

Therefore, Diao Lao Er is very fond of the fertile land in Chenjia Village, and he often dreams of it at night.

It's just that the people in Chenjia Village are really xenophobic, and they rarely communicate with the people in the neighboring villages on weekdays, so where will they pay attention to his "goodwill" request for land purchase? In addition, the villagers of Chenjia Village are not only xenophobic, but also very united, to be specific, once there is a conflict with the neighboring village, the men of the whole village will rush up and fight without sparing their lives, so Diao Lao Er has not yet succeeded.

However, these days, it's different!

A few days ago, I even heard that there was a village in the northwest of Wuyue Town, and every family had become a wealthy man with tens of thousands of dollars by selling land.

After learning that the news was true, Diao Lao'er's two cross-eyed eyes had already turned red and red! Your mother, Lao Tzu worked hard, lost his little sister, and spent a few years, and finally bought these hundreds of acres of cultivated land, and now he only earns a few thousand yuan a year.

So, after being moved, Uncle Diao quickly took action, and also copied the title deed of the hundreds of acres of cultivated land at home and went to the acquisition point that he inquired about.

It's just that it is unfortunate that at that time, Lu Zongbao happened to shrink his funds significantly, and the land price had dropped to several hundred guan per mu, which was more than ten times different from the previous thousands of guan per mu, not to mention the legendary hundreds of thousands of guan per mu.

So, Uncle Diao hesitated, hundreds of acres seem to be a lot, and you can have more than 100,000 yuan of family wealth if you sell it, but thinking about those poor people who only sell a dozen acres or even a few acres of land and have a million guan family wealth, Uncle Diao's heart suddenly became unbalanced.

Why do I have to lose like this, uncle? Why can those poor people sell for more money than me? I don't accept it! I don't sell it! This land is in my own hands, it is the inheritance of a hundred generations, and future generations can eat it, if I sell it for money, what if it is spent? No! I can't sell it! But ...... I've never seen so much money in my life!

Therefore, Uncle Diao wandered around outside the acquisition point, until Lu Zongbao completely stopped the acquisition, and then returned home in despair, hammering his head while walking.

"Why am I so stupid! After selling the money, I can go to other places to buy land! In other places, I can buy thousands of acres of land with only a few dozen acres of land! I have multiplied my family business tenfold in one fell swoop! Ahhh

The remorseful Diao Lao Er suffered at home for a day, and only a day later, news came from Yuzhang City, saying that the land price had risen again, thousands of acres!

Overjoyed, Diao Lao Er immediately went out to find a buyer, and it didn't take long for him to meet several big businessmen who were said to be from Yangzhou on the road.

So, after some bargaining, Diao Lao Er successfully sold more than 140 acres of land at a price of 1,100 yuan per mu.

"That's what you do?"

Diao Lao Er, who was happily holding the silver receipt in his hand that was said to be the silver receipt issued in the cabinet of Wuyue Town, looked at curiously, and suddenly heard one of the three big businessmen in Yangzhou ask.

Diao Lao Er was obviously stunned when he heard the question, this is still less?

"This is uncle, I have wasted several years of hard work, clever and powerful, oh, no, it is to know reason, move with affection, and threaten...... Uh, no!"

"Anyway, uncle, I wasted a lot of effort to collect it, and it's still too little?...... People are big businessmen, so naturally they don't look down on these lands, tsk, it's really a big businessman from a big place!"

Diao Lao Er's inner monologue was not heard by the Yangzhou merchant who asked the question, and the businessman saw Diao Lao Er holding the receipt of the cabinet shop stupidly and did not speak, thinking that he didn't know that this thing could be exchanged for money, so he frowned and said: "This thing is a silver receipt issued by the cabinet in Wuyue Town, you only need to take this to the cabinet in Wuyue Town to take out the same amount of silver!"

When Diao Lao Er heard this, he knew that these big businessmen from Yangzhou had misunderstood him, so he quickly nodded and explained: "I know! I know! The little one has been to Wuyue Town many times, and I also know what the cabinet shop does. ”

The merchant who asked nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's good that you know!"

Diao Lao Er hurriedly smiled and nodded.

"Do you have the rest of the arable land?" the man asked again.

"Well, I won't tell you the truth, all the cultivated land in the small family has been sold to you......" Diao Lao Er was saying, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Although the small family has no land, I know a place, those have thousands of acres of fertile farmland!

After finishing speaking, he looked at the three merchants from Yangzhou with expectation.

After listening to this, the questioning merchant turned to look at an older merchant behind him, with an inquiring look, obviously the rather old brocade-clothed merchant behind him who had not spoken out was the leader of everyone.

The leader thought for a while, then nodded, and said: "Thousands of acres is not a small amount, now that the news has spread, I am afraid that a large number of outsiders will soon pour into the countryside, and it will be difficult to buy cultivated land at a low price, so let's take this opportunity to collect more!"

After hearing the leader's consent, the businessman in front of him turned to Diao Lao Er and said, "Lead the way, if you don't have thousands of acres of land, be careful of your skin!"

Diao Lao Er immediately swore a curse: "Don't worry! There must be, if I am a little one, let me go to the eighteenth layer of hell, and I will never be able to live beyond the heavens!"

The man nodded in satisfaction.

So, Diao Lao Er led the way in front like a small guy, and the Diao family who came with him was a few fierce people in the village, and now they are also leading the way in front with their heads down, and they don't dare to gasp for the atmosphere, and they don't have the slightest disdain for the flattery of their old man who nodded and bowed.

Because, the three Yangzhou businessmen did not come alone, behind them were followed by nearly a hundred big men, and all of them were well-dressed horses, carrying steel knives around their waists, all of them were fierce and vicious, and at first glance they were Jianghu men who had killed people and seen blood.

Speaking of which, Diao Lao Er didn't see it clearly, he was in a hurry, and on the way he happened to meet three Yangzhou businessmen who were riding horses slowly on the road from Yuzhang City, while enjoying the countryside scenery, these three people were dressed very normally, ordinary clothes, although they looked expensive, but at least at a glance they knew that they were businessmen.

Therefore, Diao Lao Er, who was bent on selling land, went straight to meet him, and after talking for a while, he learned that the other party was also going to buy land, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he was ready to slaughter them.

Who knows...... After seeing that the three of them were surrounded by a group of people who looked like hooligans and bullies, they were separated by the leader in advance and followed slowly in the distance, and immediately drove their horses and ran, and instantly surrounded Diao Lao Er and the others, looking at them with fierce eyes.

At this time, Diao Lao Er knew that the gang of Jianghu men who were marching in the distance just now were just the entourage of these three businessmen, and in addition to being frightened, Diao Lao Er's careful thoughts suddenly ran away without a trace, and his waist bent down unconsciously.

Fortunately, the Yangzhou businessmen didn't lose much to him, and the land price of Yuzhang City is only more than 1,100 guan per mu, and they didn't bring change with them, so they only counted 1,100 guan per mu.

However, now Diao Lao Er is ecstatic in his heart, not because the land in his hand was sold for a good price, but because he finally found a good way to deal with Chenjia Village.

Kill with a knife!

There are only more than 300 people in Chenjia Village, and after removing half of the women, and then excluding the old and the young, there are only about 50 real young adults. Now that he has brought nearly 100 big men with him, are you still afraid that you won't be able to clean up this gang of mud legs?

"Haha, wait for Lao Tzu! I dare to insult my uncle, uncle, I want to make you look good today!"

In the excitement of Diao Laoer, the group quickly rushed to Chenjia Village.

Chenjia Village is located along the shore of Poyang Lake, shaped like a long and narrow loofah, and a bluestone road in the village extends from the head of the village to the end of the village, and on both sides of the road are the residences of the villagers.

Near the side of Poyang Lake is a piece of the same narrow cultivated land, at a glance can not see the end, now it is the spring ploughing season, most of the villagers are working in the field, one by one leaning over the ground to plant seedlings, with the skillful movements of the farmers, rows of tender green seedlings in the soil firmly settled, with the breeze, gently stretching the posture.

The men are working in the fields, and the women are sitting on the ridges at the edge of the fields, while holding the soles of their shoes, they are chatting loudly in groups, and there is a clay pot beside them, on which is a sea bowl, the clay pot is filled with water, and a bamboo basket is placed next to it, which contains a few pieces of baked rice cakes, and vegetable leaves, green and green, both fresh and sweet and chewy, and is the favorite food of the farmers.

There is a small wharf at the end of Chenjia Village, on which there are small boats moored, and the boats have dropped their iron anchors and are tied to the wooden stakes on the wharf.

This is Chenjia Village, an ordinary village, but also a quiet and serene village.

It's just that this serenity was broken by a hurried bell, and the villagers knew that it was the sound of an old bell hanging on the hundred-year-old camphor tree at the head of the village, which meant that the village had encountered a major event, a major event that might endanger the survival of the entire village!

So, the villagers who heard the bell rang put down their work one after another, and picked up the guy who took advantage of it, whether it was an iron fork, or a shovel, or a wooden stick, or a ...... A rolling stick!

Within three minutes of the bell ringing, all the old and young people in Chenjia Village gathered in the open space at the head of the village, except for those who were seriously ill and could not get up.

One by one, they held "weapons" and glared angrily at the "enemy" who came to attack at the entrance of the village.
