255. Who is evil?
With Beichen Ao's words, Yan Lian didn't plan to use the land outside the city, although she was very reluctant, she still started the plan responsibly, and found a craftsman to start building water pipes with thin bamboo, and it didn't take a day or two to pick up who went down from top to bottom!
Before the Chinese New Year, she was dying.
Yan Lian didn't dismiss the people who helped before, she directly asked someone to stay, and also found a number of old women from the village who were not busy at home, and the little daughter-in-law came to help cook, pay the salary, and take care of the meal, so that the carriage could pick up and drop off every day, so that they could also take care of the family.
In this way, more people come.
Looking at the hot work scene, Yan Lian said that she was also comfortable in her heart, and she felt that such a day was more suitable for people.
The grain planting in Guquan Village is on the track, and Yanlian will let it go, and let Beichen Ao give it to people directly at the time of harvest.
It's a pity that in addition to the 50,000 taels of silver she earned, she doesn't seem to have returned Beichen Ao's 10,000 taels of silver - none of this kind of grain seems to have come into her hands.
The previous one was given to Beichen Qing, and the latter was held in Beichen Ao's hands and couldn't move. Well, in the face of Beichen Ao, Yan Lian found that even if she had the idea of selling the grain, she died.
Beichen Ao told her that the food couldn't be moved, so she really couldn't move, she couldn't afford this joke. In the war, there is not enough food, and it is the people who suffer, she is in the Qin State, and she protects her family, and only when the country is stable, can they be stable, so she can only watch the silver in her hand in the hands of others, and she still looks at it but gets nothing.
This kind of mood is really Nima's bad heart.
September is the time for the late rice harvest, and families are busy because they still have to plant winter wheat...... For the food, Yan Lian felt like a madman, she had been working hard, and she couldn't stop at all.
Here, Yan Lian was busy at both ends, and over there, the envoy of the Sea Kingdom, who had not come for a long time, finally arrived.
The arrival of the envoy of the Sea Kingdom has not changed much for Yan Lian, but Beichen Ao has not seen much of a person.
"Fat aunt, can you talk about it? Why is your family's grain harvest so much less than others'!? "The whole village is gathered on the threshing floor in the village, and everyone's face is different, but there are still people talking about it.
In front of so many people, even a fat aunt with thick skin who can't pull it apart is a little bit untouchable.
However, don't underestimate cheeky people, this kind of people can often stumble to the end.
"Ying Yanlian, what do you mean? Since ancient times, farming has been based on the sky, and I have a bad harvest in this land, can you blame me? The fat aunt crossed her waist and asked arrogantly, quite she was the one who was wronged, and some people who knew the situation shook their heads.
"Oh, look at the sky," Yan Lian nodded, suddenly realized.
"Yan Lian," the fat uncle is a fat aunt's man, he looks like a good old man, but the calculations flashing in his restrained eyes are shrewd, which ordinary people can't see. "This harvest is not good, and we can't blame our family, and there are some people in this village who also have a bad harvest, because of the weather...... This year, it's not like there is less rain."
"Yes, yes, there is less rain, less rain," the people who followed the fat aunt's family with a weak heart all echoed it, with a weak heart in their eyes, and a sense of pride, and they all had their own little calculations in their hearts.
If it is done, then not only will there be money to take, but it doesn't matter if you don't plant the land, and you won't have to live such a hard life.
If Yan Lian knew what they were thinking, she would ask them: Have you ever thought about the consequences of not being able to do so?
She always does what she says she will never joke about.
"Really?" Yan Lian is still that understatement.
"Ying Yanlian, what kind of ghost are you pretending? Whether this harvest is good or not, no one has said, what do you want to do? "Some people are a little excited, and then, naturally, show their feet.
Looking at the people who were almost anxious because the food was not grown, the corners of Yan Lian's mouth hooked up a sneer, and then looked at the village chief on the side and asked, "Village chief, have they received their monthly silver?" She didn't bother to talk to these people, so she left everything to the village chief.
"Received," is very punctual every month, this is the voice of the village chief.
"Okay," she put down her original carelessness, she walked up to the fat uncle, and asked in front of the villagers, "Do you remember the original contract?" ”
"Remember," replied the fat uncle.
"Okay, let's talk about it, this rain is not good, is it difficult, the water from this rain has gone to other people's homes, and how many of you can't irrigate?" Yan Lian's belly slander poked them, and Wan Er asked: "What I said at the beginning is very clear, if the grain harvest is not good, ......,"
"We planted, the harvest was not good, can you blame us?" The fat aunt couldn't bear Yan Lian's slow tone, which made people scratch their hearts and lungs.
"Who's to blame?" Yan Lian asked funny.
"If you want to blame God," the fat aunt replied bluntly, not at all thinking that there was anything wrong with what she said.
However, in the eyes of the people, the sky means that this is untouchable, especially the villagers who understand the situation, and they will definitely not allow anyone to make excuses like this, so the fat aunt is lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot.
"Fat aunt, what you said is funny, blame God, can you represent God? When we were all working, you were fanning the wind with a fan in the shade, and mocking us for being fools, it was not cheaper for others to work hard, it was better to be as good as you, if you have silver, you won't enjoy happiness in vain, at this time, why do you blame God? "It was a straight woman who spoke, and her hearty voice was very much liked by Yan Lian.
"That is, people will plant late rice in time after harvesting early rice, you who have taken the silver, are more than ten days later than other people's families, and you don't even water it, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid you won't even have that harvest!?" The villagers did not allow anyone to defile their toil.
It's not that they deliberately don't like it, but the fat aunts are really excessive, and the grain harvest is still much worse than half of theirs, and if such a harvest is put on hold in a famine year, it will starve to death. By doing so, they are wasting food in vain, and that is to be punished.
There is no need for Yan Lian to say, people are doing it, and the sky is watching, not to mention that the fat aunt and others often gather together to provoke the hard-working women in the village, and the contradictions in this can be imagined.
They didn't want to do anything to the fat aunt, but just talked about it. However, when these things reach Yan Lian's ears, the meaning is different.
She knew that there were people outside who wanted to move Guquan Village, but she didn't know whose land belonged to Guquan Village.
She doesn't care about these, what she wants to do is the land of Guquan Village, it is all hers, she must do a good job, and she can't make a little mistake.
Fat Aunt and the others are of course greedy, but they are not so bold, the villagers of Guquan Village rarely enter Beijing, and only after they are reborn, their own families go the most, and the rest of the people are terrible once or twice a year.
What people are even more distressed about is the two pennies that went into the city.
She clearly understands that someone is instigating the villagers of Guquan Village, wanting to make trouble and forcing out the owner of the land in Guquan Village. Because of this, she pretended to agree to the unreasonable demands of Aunt Fat and others, for today.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How did my family offend you, you are cruel and want to kill us? "The fat aunt's mouth has always been powerful, and when she makes such a fuss this time, others won't dare.
"Fat aunt......," Yan Lian shouted faintly, and seeing that she hadn't come back to her senses, she quickly asked, "Has your winter wheat been planted?" ”
"What are you doing with that? Winter is not cold to death!? The fat aunt's answer was called a smooth one, because she was used to answering like this in the past few days, and with rampant pride, so when Yan Lian suddenly asked, she said in passing, and it was too late for her man to reach out and cover her mouth.
"I see," Yan Lian nodded, sneered and said, "Since that's the case, does that mean that the two hundred wen per month doesn't need to be paid to you from now on?" ”
"Why?" It has to do with silver and their own vital interests, so people are not calm.
This person opened his mouth to question, and the few people who had red eyes for the silver also squeezed forward, and the situation suddenly became a little chaotic.
"What do you want to do?" Ying Xianglin stood behind Yan Lian and shouted loudly: "If you have something to say, you can't say it, what does it mean to rush forward?" Do you still want to hit someone? "The days are good, and he has the silver in his hand, and his heart is stable, and even his waist can be straightened.
"That is, the land is no longer planted, and you still want to ask for silver, are you embarrassed?" Tao Zi also echoed in the crowd.
"They just want to ask for money for nothing and not work," someone pointed out the true thoughts of the matter, which also made things even more noisy.
Looking at the person who was helping her with the confronting and mocking of the fat aunt, Yan Lian's heart flashed a trace of warmth, and then she cleared her throat and said loudly: "Don't quarrel, we can't make a decision on this matter,"
"Who's going to decide?" The fat aunt saw that Ying Yanlian softened, and she was proud, thinking that she knew that her attention must be right, why not the white silver.
"Official," Yan Lian said in a deep voice, opened her clear eyes and glanced at everyone and said: "The contract that was written at the beginning, you signed it and pressed it with your fingerprint, in triplicate, and took it out for the official master to comment, so as not to dislike everyone and quarrel with no result!" "She will not show mercy to these greedy, devastated people.
These people are ruthless, and they are not even ready to ask for a root for that bit of silver.
As soon as they heard that it was the government, everyone looked at her with admiration, looking at each other, thinking about going to the government, if she really wanted to judge, didn't she have to peel off her skin?
"Yan Lian, this ...... Or don't!? The village chief took the lead in persuading, "This has passed through the government, and the matter is big!" ”
"Yes, this is all from the same village, if they don't grow grain, just don't give them silver," some people proposed, some agreed, some opposed, and the discussion suddenly spread across the city.
"Wow......" Suddenly, a sharp cry frightened everyone, and also made Yan Lian startled......
"Ying Yanlian, you have such a vicious heart, you are trying to kill us all!? There is a lot of food in the village, and the crops are better than those in Fangjia Village and Xikeng Village, and you are doing this because you don't like us and want to drive us out of Guquan Village to ......," one woman cried, and the others also started.
"My son, in the future, we will have no food to eat and no place to live," a young woman hugged the child who was still in her arms after receiving the embodiment of her mother-in-law, crying miserably, like that, it was not desolate, and everyone looked at Yan Lian with strange eyes.
In the face of such a scene, even the people who helped Yan Lian couldn't answer, and suddenly, the discussion disappeared, and there were only crying and cursing, all of which were about Yan Lian.
"Shut up!" The cold and spicy voice sounded, Yan Lian rubbed her brows, then looked up at the woman who was crying with the fat aunt as the main cry, and said coldly: "Are you still embarrassed to cry? Scolding me for being ruthless, the real ruthless people, are you!? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are we so ruthless? The fat aunt argued with red eyes, because she has been lazy lately, her heart has been a lot wider, and with the howl just now, she is panting very much at this time.
"Yan Lian," Xie and the others shouted nervously in the back, afraid that she would be wronged.
Yan Lian would give them a reassuring look, walked up to the fat uncle, and asked with a serious face, "Who told you about exchanging silver for food at the beginning?" ”
"It's like this in other villages," said the fat uncle as a matter of course.
"Really?" Yan Lian's eyes narrowed, and she sneered: "Fat uncle, Fat Auntie's maiden family is in Xikeng Village, right!?" These were instigated by her mother's family, aren't they? ”
“…… Yes," the fat uncle hesitated, but nodded hesitantly.
"Just now, the fat aunt said, the food in one of our Guquan villages is better than that of the other two villages combined, why? Do you know? ”
"Why?" The fat uncle asked stupidly as if he was confused.
"Industrious, our villagers in Guquan Village are industrious, thinking that they are planting the land with their own hands in exchange for a bumper harvest...... Have you ever thought about it? If you are all like the fat uncle and the fat aunt, you are tempted by the money every month, and the land is wasted, and finally you don't plant at all, what will be the consequences? Yan Lian's words were sonorous and powerful, and no one thought she was joking.
"What consequences?" The crowd hasn't figured it out yet.
"The consequence is that the people who bought the land will take back the land, and from now on, not only will you have no food, but you will also have no land, how will we live in the future? I want to ask you, how are you going to live? "The contradiction between Xikeng Village and Fangjia Village will soon appear.
The villagers looked at each other, but no one answered.
