How long can you complain about someone? Peach Blossom felt that it should be more than three years; A battle takes a long time to determine the winner? The people think it's best to win or lose a game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe battle between the Northern Qi and the Southern Ming Dynasty has been fought for more than three years, and although neither side has penetrated into the hinterland of the other, the border people are also full of complaints. However, human potential is unlimited, and even if there is such a war every day, the people on the border between the two countries can still live their lives.

Peach Blossom didn't know that she would live in Lanjin Town for so long, at least, before meeting Luo Yan and Cheng Yiyi, she thought that she would go further in, and she didn't have to stay in this small town where she could see the Northern Qi Dynasty as long as she climbed to a high place, thinking that she would be a passerby, but she became a resident.

Cheng Yiyi and Luo Yan also lived in a tent as they said, not another tent, but a military tent, in the barracks. The two of them are the new generals and deputy generals of Dingguo who were selected through layers of competition. For women to lead troops to fight, Peach Blossom was also surprised when she first knew, Cheng Luo and the others were obviously extremely proud of their country, Nanming people are civilized, and they do not underestimate women's talents, all kinds of official positions are not limited to men and women, as long as they pass the assessment, everything meets the requirements, and they will never be brushed down because they are women.

Cheng Yiyi is a family of military generals, his father was a general who protects the country, because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has been exposed to his father's ears and eyes, and he has been familiar with the arrangement of troops since he was a child, and he has always wanted to show his skills. Therefore, as soon as he heard that the war was going on, Cheng Yiyi got up early and practiced martial arts greedily, deduced the formation on the sand table with the old general all day long, and finally lost his hard work, won the position of general in one fell swoop, and served as the commander.

Luo Yan is Cheng Yiyi's hair, the two families are only separated by a low wall, and they have never taken the main road since they were children. Luo Yan also practiced martial arts, her father used to be a native of the rivers and lakes, and after becoming a parent, he hid his name and taught Luo Yan all his kung fu. In Cheng Yiyi's words, Luo Yan beat her, she didn't need to move her right hand, and she could lie on the ground with a cup of tea with one left hand. For such an evaluation, Luo Yan's answer was "Hehe... ”

So, "huh" means, yes, or no?

The two were in a stalemate with the Northern Qi army for three years, and the Southern Ming army was never defeated, which was enough to convince the whole army.

"Butler Peach." The guard outside the house called softly.

Peach Blossom put down the pen, frowned slightly, and responded, "What's the matter?" ”

"The tenants are making a lot of noise. I don't dare to deal with it privately, so I can only ask you to come forward. The voice outside the house seemed very respectful, and I could hear that I was in a hurry.

Renter... Peach Blossom thought for a moment and said to the guards outside the house, "You go back first, and I'll arrive later." Before the people outside the house could answer, he immediately instructed: "Don't have conflicts with the people, just hold steady, and I'll handle everything by myself." ”

"Yes!" The guards took the order and walked away quickly.

Alas!

Peach Blossom sighed in her heart, at the beginning, Cheng Luo and the others invited her to go along, and the original intention was to help her separate those wild bees and butterflies. It wasn't until the three of them arrived at Lanjin Town that they found that they didn't need to live in tents, and the soldiers stationed here had already received orders to clean up a rich man's mansion as a mansion for their general, but there was indeed only a mansion. There were no cooks, no housekeepers, and no maids. Cheng Yiyi wanted to invite Peach Blossom to have a meal before leaving, but he was also embarrassed. If it weren't for Peach Blossom washing her hands and cooking, the three of them wouldn't even be able to eat a meal.

It is precisely because of this meal that Peach Blossom has never left this temporary general's mansion again.

At first, she only had to take care of the food of the two, but the more she lived, the more things happened, and as a last resort, Peach Blossom helped find a rough girl to be responsible for laundry and cleaning. Later, there were more and more rewards from the saints, and all kinds of expenses were getting bigger and bigger, and there was an urgent need for a bookkeeper. Luo Yan volunteered to take over the work of the treasury, but in less than a month, he was anxious, his face was black all day, and no one cared about it.

Cheng Yiyi's army is also inseparable from Luo Yan, the army is at war, what can I do without a military division. So the two of them hit the idea on Peach Blossom. The two ignored Peach Blossom's desperate refusal, and patiently taught her to read, settle accounts, and enter and exit the warehouse. As soon as Peach Blossom was able to make the abacus smooth, they ran back to the barracks happily.

As the days went by, the soldiers in charge of internal affairs also learned that their generals did not care about trivial matters, and all affairs except for fighting were under the great steward of Peach. So, no matter how big or small, from the saint's gift of money to a few pennies to buy vegetables, she had to ask her. I couldn't get too busy, so Peach Blossom found a few clever little girls to do short-term work in the house, so I could go home every day and come back to work in the morning. Because of the good treatment and reputation, many people crowded into the general's mansion, but there was no shortage of people.

Today's tenant problem has only been the last year. Due to the war between the two countries, many wealthy families chose to flee to the capital in order to protect their family property. No less than 1,000 acres of fertile land were left uncultivated. Luo Yan said that he could rent it to tenants and let them continue according to the previously set share. Then, the trivial matters behind this naturally returned to the peach blossoms. At first, everything was fine, but now that the crops are ripe, if the old rules are followed, the tenants will not have much surplus food at all, and in troubled times, the harvest is not good, and the old regulations are obviously no longer applicable. Because of this, Peach Blossom is also quite a headache, and it seems that it can't be delayed anymore today.

When she arrived on Moyu, the tenants were all sitting on the ridges of the fields with big leaves to fan the wind and cool off, although the people in the house were all down from the battlefield, but they didn't move, they just sat on the side to accompany them, it seemed that they had already said that she would come in a while, and they were all waiting.

When the tenants saw the peach blossoms approaching, they all felt strange, what was such a delicate girl doing here? But some people who have seen the world recognize Peach Blossom at a glance - the peach blossom butler who is talked about in Lanjin Town.

As soon as the others heard that it was the peach blossom housekeeper of the General's Mansion, they all stood up from the ground one after another, with a little deference on their faces, in their lives, the housekeeper in charge of the land has seen a lot, and there are a few big housekeepers who have seen the General's Mansion with their own eyes, not to mention that the appearance of this housekeeper is so beautiful that people dare not look at it directly, and they all forgot to say something for a while, and they all stood quietly, and the atmosphere was too quiet.

Peach Blossom smiled and said loudly, "Let's sit down and talk, okay?" It's better to find a shady place, I'm really hot. "Sitting on the horse and walking quickly, I can bear it, but when I got off the horse, the sweat immediately came out. Moyu was covered in black hair, and he was also so hot that he didn't have any energy at all.

Seeing that the peach blossoms didn't have any shelves, everyone's faces were a little lighter. Hurriedly brought the peach blossoms under the pergola, and Moyu himself slipped into the shallow stream to cool himself.

sat for a while, but no one spoke first, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to make a sound. Peach Blossom can understand this emotion, why wasn't she like this before?

Peach Blossom opened his mouth and said: "Although I have taken over as the steward of the General's Mansion for a short time, I have not dealt with the problem of land and grain before. The reason why everyone continues to farm is just because they don't want such fertile land to be wasted, and it hurts to watch. At that time, I didn't think it through, so I had the situation I have today. However, don't worry, let's discuss, we can always get things done, and the chief teacher is satisfied with everyone. ”

An older man in the crowd also stood up, and said with earnest eyes: "Great steward, we have been farmers for generations, and we will never be insatiable. It's just that the original rent is unfair, and the grain left behind is only enough to survive except for seeds. The land has been barren for a year or two, and the harvest this season is so poor that if we pay the same amount of grain as before, we will all starve to death. ”

Peach Blossom asked, "Was the previous rent based on shares?" ”

The old man shook his head: "If we divide it, we don't have to rush to become like this." It is counted by stones, whether it is drought or flood, it is the number of deaths. ”

Peach Blossom's eyes glared: "Then, isn't that too unfair." If you have a bad harvest, don't you have very little left? ”

When they heard this, they all chimed in, "Yes, yes. . . ”

The old man stretched out his bronze hand, bowed deeply to the peach blossom, and said, "That's why I found the big housekeeper so unknowingly, and I hope you... Be kind. ”

Seeing the old man saluting her, Peach Blossom quickly staggered her body, helped the old man up again, and said softly: "The old man doesn't have to salute me, I can't afford it." ”

All the expenses of the general's palace are counted as military expenses, which are directly distributed by the imperial court, and the grain in the local towns is counted as taxes. The land has been planted, and the grain does not need to be handed over to the landlords, because they have all run away, but it is necessary to hand it over to the imperial court. To put it bluntly, the General's Mansion doesn't need a single grain of grain here at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Peach Blossom said: "In this way, the grain you planted should belong to you, but I can't do anything about it that should be handed over to the imperial court." When you have received the grain, you must pay what is due, and the rest will be yours. ”

After Peach Blossom finished speaking, everyone was still silent, do you still think it's unfair? This is not easy to do, no one can change the national tax law!

I also wanted to say "think of a way again", but it didn't work out, and everyone suddenly cheered, and everyone's faces were full of joy. Some of the older ones had tears in their eyes. This kind of situation makes Peach Blossom stunned.,So,This way... Feasible?

The old man who had been talking to Peach Blossom also wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said to Peach Blossom, "They are all overjoyed." If we only hand it over to the national treasury, we won't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

Peach Blossom blinked and asked, "Is there a lot of grain to be handed over to the national treasury?" ”

The old man waved his hand again and again: "Not much, not much." It's less than 20%. ”

"Before that you had all your food...

"It's all paid to the landlords, and their rents are much heavier than those of the imperial court."

"So, you're all willing to do that?" Peach Blossom smiled.

"Yes, yes!!" Everyone laughed and nodded, what else is there to be unwilling? It's a pie in the sky.

"But..." The old man said with some hesitation: "How much do we have to pay to the General's Mansion?" ”

Peach Blossom smiled sweetly: "Just like I said at the beginning, you plant the land until the person with the title deed comes back, and you don't want a grain of grain in the General's Mansion." It's all yours. After all, General Cheng only fought so that the people would not be bullied, and these two things seemed to be different, but in fact they had the same goal. They all want the people to be well-being. ”

A little boy in the crowd listened to it and said loudly in ignorance: "Then I want General Cheng to be here forever, okay?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and Peach Blossom was happy, when suddenly a voice called out loudly from afar: "Peach Blossom Girl!" Such a coincidence? ”
