Chapter 563: The people take food as their sky

The group finally arrived at Tongyuan County outside the capital smoothly.

Looking at the wheat that had just been yellow on the ridge of the field, I was a little stunned, was the wheat planted in summer?

Then he came back to his senses and laughed at himself for being rare and strange, now there is no corn crop, and Jingshi is located in the north, so it is not unacceptable to have wheat at this time.

The land of ancient times was not as fertile as in later generations, with spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, and winter storage.

Dalong now only cultivates once a year in the north, and it is according to this law.

Coupled with the fact that the land is not full of nutrients, it would be good to grow like this.

Even in the warm weather in the south, the fertile rice fields that can be planted for two seasons are monopolized by the Maison.

Even the barren land has been scrambled, the people take food as the sky, the land is food, An Laotou has been fishing for a lifetime, and he did not leave half an acre of land for An Gou'er and his brothers and sisters until he died.

Liu Dashao was particularly curious, with the ability of the ancient landlords and gentry and the big families to annex land, the people should have no arable land a long time ago, and it is a miracle that Dalong can hold on for more than 600 years.

As an official of the household department, the household department is in charge of things such as food and land, but he doesn't seem to have found any special dragon laws that take care of the people.

The gentry clan still sits on countless fertile land, and the common people barely make ends meet by guarding one acre and three points of land, but the big dragon is stunned to persevere, although there is civil unrest, but there is no major event of rebellion.

As for the White Lotus Sect, Liu Dashao scoffed, Qinglian had already told herself about the arrogant encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect in the past.

Although Dalong is not in full swing now, the White Lotus Sect's desire to rebel is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.

As long as there is no support from a large number of people, the White Lotus Sect is just a grasshopper after the autumn.

The reason why Li Zheng did not exterminate the White Lotus Sect was because the Turks and the Jin State were eyeing each other in the north, and it was difficult to divide troops to encircle and suppress them.

Now that the business road is opened, there will be no large-scale national war in a year or two, and any of the six guards in Northern Xinjiang who have been freed up can make the White Lotus Sect unable to eat and walk around.

The border army, which day is not the day of licking blood from the knife edge, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to the chaotic government soldiers.

"Young master, this is Lord Lingcheng of Tongyuan County, and this is the old man of Dashi Village!"

Liu Dashao, who was feeling the fragrance of the wheat field, was awakened by the old housekeeper Fu Shan.

"Xiaguan see Uncle Tongyuan."

"The old Shi Lao Wu of Dashicun Township greets the lord!"

"Don't be polite, don't be polite, Lord Cheng, you should know the meaning of Benjue's coming this time!"

"Back to Uncle Tongyuan, the lower officials already know that this Shi Lao Wu is one of the elders of Dashi Village, and the lower officials have also found Uncle Tongyuan!"

"If you have work, you will not bother Lord Cheng when he is busy with government affairs, a small gift is not a tribute, please accept it with a smile!"

Tongyuan County Commander looked at the fifty taels of silver tickets in his hand and hurriedly put them away: "Thank you Uncle Tongyuan, the official will retire, and don't disturb Uncle Tongyuan's business."

"I can't walk slowly, please!"

Tongyuan County ordered to take the car, Shi Lao Wu suddenly became restrained, and did not dare to look up to see Liu Mingzhi and his party, especially the eight or nine carriages not far from them.

"Old man!"

"Hey..... Sir, the old man begs you, let's give a few more days, the autumn grain has not yet fallen, the lord collects rent at this time, and the people of Dashi Village will starve to death! ”

Liu Mingzhi looked at Shi Lao Wu, who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing, a little stunned, when did he say that he was going to collect rent?

"The old cow and old man in Woniu Village visit the lord, please forgive me for a few days, we really don't have extra food at home!"

"The old man Wu of Lianhuaao Township pays a visit to the lord, please ask the lord to forgive some days!"

“……”

When Liu Mingzhi was stunned, a few old men in their sixties knelt in front of him without saying a word, and they were a little hurried for a while, how many years is this going to be lost.

"A few old people, get up quickly, don't look like this, the younger generations can't afford to worship a few people!"

Liu Mingzhi wanted to help these old men, but they were unmoved, and still knelt on the ground with their heads.

"Old man, tell me quickly, what kind of rent is collected, I don't know what's going on, kneel down for me as soon as I come, how can I afford it when I'm only twenty years old!"

Wen Renzheng said to the ox cart Nunu not far away: "I misunderstood, I thought you were going to collect rent in advance, you are the lord of a thousand households in Shiyi, these people are the village elders of the big village in Tongyuan County, and they have to pay you grain according to the law!" ”

"I see!"

"Hurry up, old men, Benjue....... I'm not here to collect rent, don't worry, I've come to you this time to ask for something! ”

Several villagers kneeling on the ground looked at each other and slowly stood up, but they still didn't dare to look at Liu Dashao's eyes.

Several old men in their sixties looked at Liu Mingzhi worriedly: "The lord really doesn't collect rent in advance?" ”

"Don't accept it, promise not to accept it!"

Liu Mingzhi repeatedly assured that a few people believed it.

Shi Lao Wu said to Niu Laohan: "Brother Niu, hurry up and let people go back and tell the villagers that they don't need to hide the grain, the lord is not here to collect rent!" ”

"Okay, good, old man, let's go!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Shi Lao Wu and the others embarrassedly, is it really good for you to speak so unscrupulously in front of me?

But I didn't mind, it can only show that these people are a little small, but their hearts are not bad, they are too simple.

"Old man, how is the food growing this year? Is it a good harvest year? ”

Shi Lao Wu and the others looked back at the wheat field that was growing happily, and their old and withered faces were extremely pleased.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, Lord is benevolent and righteous, God also opened his eyes, after planting food, it has been smooth weather, as long as there are no problems in the future, this year will definitely be a bumper harvest."

"Okay, let me congratulate a few old people in advance on the abundant harvest of the granary!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

“.............”

"Don't be polite, don't be polite, I will also benefit from your harvest, our hearts are the same!"

Several old men glanced at each other, and the eldest Shi Lao Wu finally spoke: "Sir, little old man dares to ask, what did the sir, not to collect rent?" ”

"It also has something to do with food, and it has something to do with you."

"This ......."

"Liu Song, Han Zhong, you are waiting here, Ben Jue will follow the old man and walk around with the old men!"

"Obey!"

"Old man, I'm very curious about farming, how about a few old people take me and the elders in the field for a walk!"

Shi Lao Wu and the others looked at each other with worried faces, they really didn't understand what this lord wanted to do, but they didn't dare to refuse.

nodded a little reluctantly: "Sir, this old brother, please come here, the old man will show you the way." ”

Liu Dashao staggered half of his body and looked at Wen Renzheng, who was obsessed with the wheat field in a Confucian shirt: "Old man, please too, move more and ventilate!" ”

Wen Renzheng rarely blushed: "Get out!" ”

PS: Maybe many brothers don't know that there is a change in the reward of a thousand rewards, and a change in the fifty-month pass.

I didn't receive anything today, guaranteed.

I hope you understand, the code word is not easy.
