Chapter 667: Savior

The farmer kept glaring at his parents as he spoke, and the tone of his eyes was very unwilling. Lan Ziyi could see that this farmer wanted to learn from him

The elder brother went out to wander around, and it seemed that he was pressed down by his old father and mother.

The old woman couldn't stand still, and had already sat back on the stool, and she hugged her little grandson and cried:

"San'er, your two brothers said they wanted to make money, but they were gone, your father and I were the only one left with you, how could we bear to let you go out and die again?"

When the farmer heard this, he said indignantly:

"How do you call it out to die? The eldest brother went to be a soldier, and every day he brought a big bowl of meat and wine in the camp, and he could earn back eight taels of silver a year, and he would pay ten taels at a time when he died; It is said that the second brother is dead, but the one who goes to sea with the boat does not make a lot of money? My second brother is now estimated to be eating and drinking spicy food with three wives and four concubines in his big house? Why do you want me to raise two old immortals and owe a lot of debt? ”

Tao Zhuhu was not happy when he heard this, and he slapped the farmer on the head and said angrily:

"That's your mom and dad, who is scolding for not dying?"

Peach Chase Tiger is a fierce general in the north, even if this slap only uses one percent of his strength, it can slap the thin man in front of him with gold stars in his eyes, almost dizzy.

Lan Ziyi looked at the old man and the old lady on one side, and then at the farmer on the other side, and then he noticed the hungry, scared, and timid child, and he said:

"The disharmony in your family is nothing more than the result of lack of money and food, in that case, let's think of a way, how can a big living person suffocate urine?"

When the farmer heard this, he looked up at Lan Ziyi, and he blurted out:

"It's easy for you to say ......"

Originally, the farmer was very angry, but when he found that the Tao brothers were glaring at him, he softened his tone halfway through his words, and the farmer said:

"Son, you don't know the difficulty of farming if you don't farm, I just told you so clearly, we farmers are barely full in a good year, and we can only borrow money in a famine year, this year is not only a famine year, but also a war disaster, we really can't survive."

Lan Ziyi said:

"As long as you have land, you can still plant, your problem is just that you borrowed a debt from the Ji family, don't ask him if you can borrow it?"

The farmer sneered:

"Don't ask him who borrows? This is a radius of 100 miles, and only the Ji family has money and food in ten miles and eight townships, who else can they borrow money from? ”

The old man also sighed:

"The Ji family is already powerful, but they still don't pay taxes, and the county doesn't dare to ask his family to collect rent."

The farmer chimed in:

"Son, you just came from the Ji family, you also saw it, so many fields can't be counted, but do you know how much his family pays for the emperor's grain? It is said that his family only paid 50 acres of grain and did not pay excessive taxes, and it is said that his family only paid these 50 acres of land registered in the prefecture and county, and the tax collectors only collected 50 acres. Isn't the government blind? ”

Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this:

"In this way, Zhang Mingyue's re-measurement of the land and the forced push of a whip is indeed a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people."

As soon as Lan Ziyi said this, the farmer's family all sighed, and the old man even scolded:

"What a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! It's obviously a big bad thing to tear down the house and peel the skin! It's bad. β€œ

Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this, and the farmer took his father's words and continued:

"Isn't it a re-measurement of the land, my family's registered field is only three acres, but where can three acres of land support a family, I can only go out to find land to open up wasteland, save land from the corner to grow some vegetables, this time a measure of the wasteland I opened all to be counted in the book, pay taxes from the original three acres of land to ten acres of land. My ten acres of land are called three acres to barely eat, where can I pay all ten acres of land? What else is a whip, it has always been to hand over the grain, but now it has to be exchanged for silver, but the silver is expensive and the grain is light, and the grain is not valuable, how much more grain do I have to pay in this exchange? β€œ

The more the farmer talked, the more frustrated he became, and he was about to cry out at the end, Lan Ziyi himself also fell into deep thought, when he was in the household department before, he had heard that the local government had seized the phenomenon of people's land because of the implementation of the new law, and now he heard about such a thing, which is really embarrassing. Is it new

Is the law really not used?

兰子义 says:

"Why don't you try to help each other with the people of the same village?"

When the farmer heard this, he took a sip, and he scolded:

"Those bastards with a bad conscience, when they saw that there were few men in my family, they came to bully me, and today they added a hoe to my field, and tomorrow they moved a spade to my side of their field, and now my land is missing by four points, and I still count on them?"

Peach Rabbit Road:

"They occupy your land, but you have a reason with them."

Farmer's Road:

"I'm just alone, and I have several brothers in my family, who are you bullying if you don't bully me? Who can I reason with? ”

The old man sighed at this time:

"Besides, everyone in the village asked the Ji family to borrow money, and it is estimated that few of them will be able to repay it in Akita, and see if they can ask the Ji family master to be accommodating and delay the debt in the future."

When Lan Ziyi heard the old man's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked:

"Old man, you said that all the people in the village asked the Ji family to borrow money?"

The old man nodded and said:

"Yes, not only our village, but all the landed farmers in these ten miles and eight townships have all asked the Ji family to borrow silver."

The old man's words opened Lan Ziyi's mind. Although Lan Ziyi felt an inexplicable force pushing him away when he first saw the farmer just now, he couldn't figure out what that force was, and now when he heard the old man's words, Lan Ziyi figured it out, and the force that pushed him away was the way he had been looking for to fight the Ji family.

Lan Ziyi, who had figured it out, immediately came to his senses, he bent down and held the old man's hand and said:

"Old man, don't panic, I'll figure out a way for you to owe money."

The old man was not pleased to hear this, but said:

"Although Childe is a child of a rich family, how can one person be able to defeat the Ji family? Childe, don't say big things again to relieve me. ”

Peach Rabbit was not happy to hear the old man's words, and he said:

"Old man, don't underestimate my young master, my young master is Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi, who ...... thieves before."

Tao Zhutu said this, naturally he wanted to frame Lan Ziyi's identity to deter this group of grass people, but he didn't expect that the family's eyes were cold at the same time when they heard the three words "Lan Ziyi", and several people raised their heads together and stared at Tao Zhutu who was talking, and the farmer even asked:

"Lan Ziyi? Is it Lan Ziyi who led the troops to fight and exterminate the demon thief? ”

Although the peach rabbit was brave, but when he faced the four pairs of hungry and panicked eyes, he still had no bottom in his heart, and when he heard the farmer's question, his hand unconsciously touched the handle of the knife on his waist, and the peach and rabbit replied:

"Yes, it's Lan Weihou."

Unexpectedly, when the farmer heard this, he bounced off the stool as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and without waiting for the Tao brothers to react, he rushed out of the house, shouting as he ran:

"Everyone come out quickly, Lan Weihou is here to call the shots for us! Lan Weihou is here! ”

At the same time, the old man also reached out and grabbed Lan Ziyi's wrist, the old man's shriveled fingers like firewood sticks actually burst out with great power, and his ten fingers were embedded in Lan Ziyi's flesh, and Lan Ziyi couldn't get out of it. The old man's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lan Ziyi as if he had seen a savior, and only listened to him:

"Lord Lan, Lord Lan, I have long heard that your bodhisattva is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and when you were fighting thieves, you were busy caring for the people and distributing money and food to the homeless, since you have such a good heart, save us poor ordinary people, please!"

Lan Ziyi was caught in pain and couldn't get out, so he could only keep comforting the old man. Outside the door, there was a cry from the Moon Mountain:

"What do you want to do?"
