Chapter 172: Jincheng Night Talks Dunhuang Rain

The smoke of Wuwei County has just risen, and Jincheng County has also ushered in the annual Hanqiang conflict.

In order to survive the coming winter, both the Han and Qiang began to do their best to reserve food. The Han people have their own farmland, so they only need to wield their farming tools for harvesting, but the Qiang people are different, they are gathering in groups of three or five at this time, drinking and discussing how to carry out this year's robbery plan. Although their wives and children have obvious signs of sinicization, their level of agricultural production is still relatively low, and many families still adhere to the inherent customs. They are accustomed to hunting for a living, and although they envy the grain in the fields, they cannot cultivate it with their own hands.

So when they need it, they often only have two options, one is to use their prey to exchange with the local Han Chinese, and the other is to rob it openly.

In the autumn of the harvest, although many families seem to be rich in grain, after calling the land rent, they have enough grain left over until next summer. And when there is a shortage of green and yellow, it is the most life-threatening, and a slight disaster is enough for them to struggle on the verge of starvation and death.

Therefore, no one wants to sell their harvest easily, no matter how good the fur is brought.

Thus, an inevitable conflict arose.

Han Sui has also been tormented recently, and more and more arcs have been affected by the details of the villain, which has greatly reduced his original land rent harvest. So it broke his brain.

His tenants are usually squeezed by him, and they have all honed their good skills in repaying their debts! As long as those people are plundered by the strongmen, the part that will be intercepted will be the land rent to be paid.

The people sent by Han Sui naturally refused to agree, they had to bring back enough food anyway before they could come back to make a business, so they were also like relatives, and robbed the food that those stores had hidden privately, so this caused a new round of chaos, during which countless young and strong Lao Li was beaten to death, and women were often implicated, and even more treacherous people made trouble from it, and they filled their pockets with concealment on the plane, and took people's lives under the pretense of the power of the master's family.

Such a thing even quickly affected Han Sui's reputation in Jincheng County.

I don't know when it started, and suddenly someone said that Suning, which is in charge of Wuwei County, has a bumper harvest this autumn, and the bandits who made a mistake there have fallen into Suning's encirclement and interception at this moment. And the big households there, under the leadership of Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and other Dong Zhuo's subordinates, have also implemented the agricultural production policy formulated by Suning, they not only got a generous land rent in return, but also did not have a large-scale conflict with their own tenants, because their tenants cultivated the grain provided by Suning, and they had already reaped a bumper harvest, so they didn't care about their landlords taking more.

So, they soon organized a wave of displaced people, claiming that they would leave Jincheng County, which made them unable to live, and go to Wuwei County, where the people of Wufu were abundant, because in Wuwei County, they could also get a very huge harvest if they also rented the grain of the landlords, at least they would not fall into the dilemma of ruining their families here.

The rapid reduction of the defense means that there will be no one to cultivate the land during the winter holidays next year, and their harvest will undoubtedly be even less, and this year, there will be no land rent to collect, and next year, there will be no land rent to collect.

This made Han Sui, who was already restless, immediately fall into a frenzy. He sent someone to deliver letters overnight, and invited several of his allies, the kingdom, and Song Jian, to Jincheng County, where he was located, to discuss how to deal with the immediate crisis.

Hanyang County, where the kingdom is located, actually had this situation earlier, and their fields were also adjacent to the fields of Suning and the Jiang family. This also leads to the fact that when the computer is working, it finds that the seeds of the people next door are very different from theirs. At the time they didn't care much about it, but when the seeds were turned into all sorts of strange crops, their envy could no longer be controlled, and apart from the species they had never seen before, the wheat and other things they knew were more productive than they were. This makes them unbearable to live their lives, you know, those fruits and vegetables they have never seen can be sold at a good price in the city, and several restaurants opened by Suning rely on them to attract customers.

Moreover, Suning's treatment of tenant farmers far exceeded that of the Wang family. After some inquiry, the kingdom learned that it turned out that the tenant farmers of the Suning family determined the land rent according to the amount of the harvest? If they harvest more, they will have to pay less in rent. In this way, they can leave more crops behind.

In order to make their harvest more abundant, the tenant farmers desperately focused on the fields they were responsible for, so that they tried their best to get a bigger harvest in their fields.

At first, the kingdom didn't understand what the purpose of doing this would do to her Suning. The more crops a farmer can keep, the less he can get.

But he didn't know that Suning had signed a purchase agreement with these arcs in advance, and in addition to the rent that needed to be paid, other farmland output could not be sold to others, and could only be purchased by Suning's Weishui Company. You can't afford to fight with your own tenants because of extra needs.

It is also important to note that as the harvest in the field increases, it is only the proportion of land rent that decreases, not the overall amount of field rent. In a good harvest year, even if the percentage is reduced, there will be more than in previous years, and farmers will have more food to spare, which will allow them to have more reserves to survive the disasters that may come!

The kingdom didn't have enough information to know this, and his tenant farmers didn't really know that Suning could get more benefits. They only knew that they could eat in Suning's fields, and they would not be overexploited by the landlord's family, so they scrambled to flee to Suning, and the kingdom could only let this go, although his family was the largest family in Hanyang County, but Suning's Weishui Yicong has always been stationed near the industrial park, and they and Gan Ning's department have the ability to eradicate the Wang family at any time.

This level of threat made the kingdom dare to be angry but not speak, so his life has not been easy recently, and it is even more miserable than Han Sui.

Hearing the kingdom's story, Han Sui couldn't help but feel concerned, it seemed that the tenants under him would inevitably go to Suning.

"You're too good for tenants." At this time, Song Jian on the side began to express his opinion, "If my family finds a tenant farmer of his family, he will be killed if he is caught." Then they will not dare to turn their backs on the Lord's house easily, and besides, will it not be just a little bread? What's the matter with them first, you can get it from them at any time when you need it. It's just a small delaying tactic, why can't you Liangzhou adults figure it out. ”

Han Sui and Wang Guoqi were stunned on the spot, they couldn't do such a treacherous thing, but after Song Jian, a Qiang man, he never took these little things to heart, so their Song family had this unspeakable sin, but it was precisely because of their means that they could control the territory of the two counties all the way.

However, with the rise of Suning, their glory has long been gone, and their glorious record may soon be broken by the Soviet Union, you must know that now in Suning, it has basically controlled Wuwei County, although this is based on the official position of the imperial court, but since he has run Wuwei County, he has done his best to run his own home, which has to make people wonder whether he is ready to use this territory as his base and seek further expansion and development. At the same time, half of Hanyang County was still firmly controlled by him, and the depth of his control even exceeded that of Wuwei County, where he served. And most of Zhangye County has already entered his control, and Beidi County has left behind his prestige to annihilate the Xianbei invaders!

In this way, it only takes 3 to 5 years of continuous operation, and Suning's sphere of influence can cover four counties, which is more than the Song family before it was suppressed by Suning tonight.

In order to confront such a behemoth, Han Sui and the kingdom also knew that if they didn't take any measures, they might be difficult to stop him from continuing to expand, and when the time came, these few clans would either bow down to him or only resist stubbornly.

If they want to keep their position in Liangzhou, they must strangle it in the cradle, but they are now far from Suning's sphere of influence, because he has jumped to the Longxi region to develop. Even if they had the economic conditions in their hands, they could not easily launch an attack and cross the border to attack the territory of the Soviet Union, which would be no different from a rebellion for the imperial court.

Therefore, they could only send groups of assassins to intercept and plunder the caravans under Suning. But the light cavalry that Suning photographed was not easy to mess with, and they sent assassins and soon suffered huge losses. This made several major families feel inexplicably frightened, it turns out that the power sent to you is not only as fierce as it seems, but also hides elusive strength in reality!

They didn't know what Suning was trying to hide for, but they instinctively felt that there was a terrifying atmosphere trying to envelop them.

Is it the instinct to call the big pig, which makes them more and more of a sense of crisis of survival, which makes many of them choose to huddle together for warmth. The kingdom and others are just one of them.

If they do not determine the strength of the means, then only perdition awaits them.

Therefore, even if Song Jia, the bastard boy, put forward a very ridiculous suggestion, but the two of them, you have no more choices, and judging from the current situation, it is a helpless choice to have a certain deception tactic for your own circuit.

At the very least, if they want to achieve great things, they need to have enough food reserves, otherwise, their family does not have enough capital to start the war machine.

After determining this, they began to shift their attention to Suning's current military operations, and they also began to realize that Suning's current actions against Dunhuang County and Jiuquan County may also be to clear their worries, and if they achieve the greatest victory in the short term, then the next expansion direction will be Jincheng County and Hanyang County where they are located.

Although Hanyang County is the seat of Liangzhou, Suning has been operating there for a long time, and I believe that it will not take too much time to change the flag there, after all, this is only the internal struggle of the family, and it has not yet involved the invasion of foreign enemies.

What's more, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Liang Hu is Suning's teacher herself, and there is no way for the kingdom to win her to her side. Although he is now engaged in Liangzhou, it has to be mentioned that his influence in Liangzhou is far less than that of the old bird who defeated the Xianbei invasion.

Once Hanyang County completely falls into the hands of Suning, then Jincheng County will not be spared, and the Caohan area, where the Song family is located, will also become a key target because of its long-standing grudge with Suning.

So the three of them have been expecting that Suning would be best able to encounter obstruction from some force in the next military operation, but the news that came back disappointed them little by little.

First of all, the bandits from the nomadic tribes of Dunhuang County and Jiuquan County, soon after entering Wuwei County, fell into the labyrinth array laid by the enemy, and they spent a long time in it, and did not successfully break out of the encirclement, but because they did not carry enough food and grass, they quickly fell into hunger and cold.

Suning's second column immediately seized the fighters and annihilated them all in a labyrinth of bags and barbed wire, and then Suning claimed that some of the bandits escaped from their pursuit and returned to Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties. Suning immediately asked local officials in the two places to assist them in the hunt, but local officials said they were unable to pursue the bandits, and some of them even vented their bitterness to Suning, claiming that the bandits had already existed, that they had no local law and order disorder, and that they had not been able to bring them to justice.

Suning was very pleased to get this report, and immediately led the main force of the second column and the first column to enter Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County. In his name, he naturally helped his colleagues here capture the bandits, but in fact, this was just the beginning of another expansion of his military strength!
