Chapter Forty-Seven: The Wolf in the Backyard
Sister-in-law Gu was so excited that she couldn't say anything when she saw Yan Hu, and she regretted what she had just said. After a long time, Yan Hu bit his lip and said: "There are also three or four thousand men in charge of agriculture in our Han Department, and Zhou Sheng brought more than 1,000 people, and there are more than 2,000 people left, so why borrow sixty or seventy percent of the fields?" "The Han tribe has excellent agricultural tools, cattle and horses are very abundant, and when the farm is busy, sappers and women will come to help, it is already an organized way of farming, although there are only three or four thousand men who specialize in farming, but they can cultivate a large piece of land. In addition, the yield of various crops is quite high, so it is more than enough to feed nearly 20,000 people in the Han department.
Sister-in-law Gu said: "In fact, there are only about 1,000 men left behind to farm. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "What about the others? ”
Sister-in-law Gu said: "The east and west are going south." This time to build a new city in the south, you need a lot of tools, cattle and horses. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Where are the sappers who are far away?" Hasn't his men been in charge of transportation all along? ”
Sister-in-law Gu said in a panic: "How do I know this." But ......"
Wan Yanhu said sharply: "But what! ”
Sister-in-law Gu said in a low voice: "But I'm afraid that these are ghosts." ”
Wan Yanhu was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you say?" ”
Sister-in-law Gu said: "That's the case, at the beginning, we quietly borrowed a small piece of land to General Hulu, and then the news leaked out somehow, and the housekeeper of Prince Zonggan heard about it and also came to borrow it." Later, the people of the five princes also came. These princes and generals have a bigger appetite than the other. The seventh general promised one, so it was not easy to push the second. Just lent out piece after piece, and the people of the four princes came last, but his appetite was the greatest: he borrowed a thousand wells in one sentence! Before the land was lent out, we didn't have enough 2,000 people, but after the land was lent out, many of us had no work left. Everyone went to find the seventh general together, and the seventh general said that since everyone had no work to do, there was just a shortage of manpower for transportation, so don't be idle, and transport things. Everyone didn't do it, but a few village chiefs secretly persuaded that the seventh general actually had no choice, so don't embarrass him too much, and wait for the general to come back. ”
Wan Yanhu was stunned when he heard this, and Sister-in-law Gu didn't want to say something, but she couldn't take care of it at this time, and said: "Princess, not only the fields, but also our houses are ...... Borrowed quite a bit. ”
"What?"
Sister-in-law Gu said: "Our house is better built than other tribes, and they are all envious." But this time, the general went south and took so many people with him, and many houses were empty. Those who were borrowing land for cultivation were greedy for convenience and comfort, so they begged the seven generals to rent some houses for them to live in. The seventh general agreed, but as soon as this head opened, it was the same as borrowing fields, and they came to borrow one by one. Some villages have been borrowed piecemeal, and some villages have been borrowed entirely! Like Houcun, the whole village was lent to the fourth prince. After he borrowed it, he asked the seventh general to help him draw a map and prepare for the reconstruction, where is this borrowing, it is clearly ......"
She didn't say a word, but Wan Yanhu also heard what she meant. Covering his forehead, his body shook a little, and he almost fell.
Sister-in-law Gu and the maid hurriedly supported her, Wan Yanhu stabilized her body and said, "Go!" I...... I'm going to see Ying Qi! ”
Yang Yingqi was not in the village, and some people said that he went in the direction of the scrap shipyard. Wanyanhu saw that Gu's sister-in-law was sweating on her forehead, and she was afraid that she would not be allowed to follow her, so she didn't even bring anyone with her, and stepped on the horse and ran towards the scrap shipyard.
After Ouyang Long led people south, this abandoned shipyard seemed very lonely. When Wanyanhu approached, he saw a total of three people by the river: Yang Yingqi sat on the bank and watched the fish float and float, a boy turned the page of a book to read "Gongwu Crossing the River" to him, and another boy boiled water on the stove and prepared to make tea.
Wan Yanhu jumped off the horse, kicked the pile of scattered books, and kicked the stove again. The two boys have been following Yang Yingqi for more than a year, and when they saw this posture, they knew that this prince was going to quarrel with the Seventh General, where did they dare to stay nearby and wait to be killed by the pond fish? They made eye contact with each other and fled.
Yang Yingqi didn't panic when he saw Yan Hu's behavior, he still sat on the ground, just raised his head and asked, "Sister-in-law, what made you angry?" ”
Wan Yanhu said angrily: "Let me ask you, what is going on with borrowing land and borrowing houses?" ”
Yang Yingqi sighed and said: "It turns out that you are doing this, I thought it was something." ”
"Just for this?" Wan Yanhu sneered: "Do you know that those fields and houses are the lifeblood of our Han Department!" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The Wanyan Department and the Han Department are indistinguishable from each other. Moreover, I only lend to them, not to them. ”
Wan Yanhu sneered: "Borrow? Do you think they'll pay it back? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "I'm not afraid that they won't pay it back, they have a mortgage with me." ”
Wan Yanhu was stunned for a moment, his anger rested for a while, and asked, "What mortgage?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "One well field, eight horses, one cow. One house, one horse, two sheep. ”
When Yan Hu heard this, it was like a volcano that lowered for a moment, and then erupted on a larger scale: "What kind of bullshit mortgage are you!" If I were them, I wouldn't pay them back! You...... Do you know how much grain we can produce in a year! "Compared with Da Jin, the price of horses is far low, Wan Yanhu is a heroine in charge, so she naturally knows that this is a big loss-making business.
Yang Yingqi seemed to be indifferent and said: "Anyway, we had a bumper harvest last year." Even if this year's harvest is halved, it will be enough for a year. ”
After Yan Hu swung his fist, he was about to beat him, but he had been married to Hancun for a long time, and he had two children, and his temper was much more restrained than when he was a girl. Moreover, she has always loved Yang Yingqi, in the eyes of others in Huining, he is the god of wealth of the Han Army, but in the eyes of Wanyan Hu, he is just his good brother, looking at his mutton fat-like face, this punch can't be beaten. suppressed his anger and said to Yang Yingqi: "I don't blame you, I know you have difficulties, but this field and house can't be occupied like this!" Every handful of dirt in the fields and not a single brick in the house drip with the sweat of our Han department. Everyone doesn't dare to say it, it's because Yan Chong is not there, and you are young, so I'm afraid you're not the opponent of those old ghosts. But don't be afraid, just go and tell those people to get out! I'll pay him back all the cattle and horses that are mortgaged! ”
Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "No." ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Are you afraid? Don't be afraid! If there is anything, I will be your backer! ”
Yang Yingqi wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just shook his head again and again and said, "No." Sister-in-law, you don't care about this matter. I've got my own measure. ”
"Good!" Wan Yanhu said: "You don't dare to go, I'll go!" "Fly on the horse.
Yang Yingqi wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he said in his heart: "I didn't want her to get involved, but who knew that it would be like this in the end." Let's just let her go, it doesn't hurt the whole thing anyway. It's just that I don't know if she will blame me if she knows the truth in the future. ”
