On the second day of registration, many large trucks came from Qian'an to transport a family member or an individual to Qian'an. Because you only need to bring a futon and a change of clothes, it is easy to sit a family in a car, and the distance is not far. When the landlords were angry and wanted to stop the car, Jinyi Wei embroidered the spring knife and shook it: "Anyone involved in the construction of iron mines, the emperor has a decree, and those who dare to stop it will die." ”

These landlords found that the current appearance of these brocade guards was not as kind as when they were recruiting, and they did not dare to stop them for a while. A brocade-clothed guard Xiaoqi shouted: "We have cultivated for a few days, and there are still people who dare to stop the emperor, but it is really fatal." ”

Only then did the landlords think of Jinyiwei's famous name, and they were also surprised that they were so bold. There are still unwilling to shout from afar: "You have abducted our tenants, and we are going to the capital to complain." ”

The little flag shouted: "Why do you need to go to the capital to complain, Lord Qincha is in Lulong County, you go and sue." In addition, Yutian County is the same, there are no tenants anymore, you can go and harvest the crops yourself. ”

Only then did the landlords remember that Lord Qincha was in Lulong County, and it was just right for him to find him for such a thing. When they hurried to Lulong County, they were told by Menzi that Lord Qincha was occasionally feeling cold and could not see them at present. However, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who knew the same thing, Lord Wu could take the time to meet them.

Hearing that it was Jinyiwei's person, everyone's hearts trembled a little. However, the fact that the tenants were gone was still too important, so everyone asked to see Lord Wu.

Wu Mengming warmly met with the landlords, he asked people to bring tea and water, and greeted everyone to sit down very warmly. One of them said: "The commander makes the adults, and the small people have important things to ask for." ”

Wu Mengming hurriedly stated: "I'm not a commander, I'm just a commander, and this must not be called wrong." ”

The man sneered: "The ascension of Lord Tongzhi is just around the corner, and it is not a good sign for me to call the commander first." ”

Wu Mengming laughed and said: "Good mouth, good mouth, but don't call it borrowed." Tell me what you have to say. ”

The man said: "Yesterday, notices were posted everywhere to recruit people to go to Qian'an to open mines, and our tenants lost their rented land and went directly to Qian'an, so that our fields are uncultivated, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the grain will be spoiled in the ground." Please command the adults to be the masters of the lesser ones. ”

Wu Mengming snorted and said: "I'm afraid that this official can't help, Jinyiwei is investigating illegal things, and this matter is not under our control?" ”

Another person said: "My lord, it is the people of Jinyiwei who take the tenants to Qian'an." ”

Wu Mengming sighed and said, "Look, this is the disadvantage of being a small official. This official is just a mere Jinyi Wei Tongzhi, it's not my subordinates' work, I can't control it. ”

The landlords secretly scolded in their hearts, you have the highest position in the Jinyi Guard in Lulong County, and you can't control it. But scolding is scolding, you can't directly reprimand him for lying.

The man said, "My lord, it is also illegal for tenants to abandon rent, please strictly enforce the law and arrest them." ”

Wu Mengming said: "Jin Yiwei doesn't care about such illegal things, we only care about rebellion, espionage, banditry and other things, limited by authority, this kind of thing should be done by the Qin Cha Lord." ”

The man said, "We asked to see Chincha-sama, but Chincha-sama was unable to meet us because of the cold. ”

Wu Mengming gave them an idea: "I think you might as well go to Beijing to complain, if the emperor hears about such a thing, he will definitely arrest all the tenants." ”

Everyone complained in their hearts, not to mention whether it was useful to sue the emperor in the capital, even if it was useful, this time, when the emperor ordered the tenants to return to their hometowns, the crops would be all over. Can you ask the tenant to compensate you for this loss? What do they use to compensate you.

Everyone feels very aggrieved, and the truth is all on their side, but if you reason with him, the harvest in the field will be all in vain. The landlords of the Ming Dynasty did not have the concept of state compensation, and only wanted to find tenants for compensation, and the tenants happened to be unable to compensate, so there was a dead knot.

Wu Mengming thought for a while and said: "Actually, this official feels that there is no profit left in the field now, and the rent can only be collected by forty percent, and it is calculated according to the harvest of the third year of the Apocalypse. You have a good harvest, or only collect so much, your harvest is poor, and the court wants you to continue to reduce the rent, which is really boring. ”

The landlords felt that they had met their bosom friends, and everyone vomited bitterness together, yes, the land is becoming less and less valuable, and the harvest of farming has been greatly reduced, and if this continues, their wealth is only afraid that it will shrink.

When everyone was vomiting in full swing, Wu Mengming changed the topic and said: "This official has a business, which is much stronger than the income from farming, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

The landlords all fell silent, and one of them asked, "I don't know what good business Lord Tongzhi has?" ”

Wu Mengming said: "There is a kind of road in the capital, paved with cement, which is smoother and stronger than the stone road, with no ash in the wind and no mud in the rain. And this cement raw material is easy to obtain, and it is very versatile, and it can be used to build houses and roads. Now, as long as you pay a little royalty, you can get cement manufacturing technology, which is a way to make a fortune, I don't know if you are interested. ”

The man asked, "It costs a lot of money." ”

Wu Mengming said with a smile: "The official has calculated, the factory, the workers, the patent fee, more than one million yuan, you can start it, about five years, you can return to the capital, and the money you earn in the future will be pure." ”

The man said in frustration: "More than a million dollars, how can there be." ”

Wu Mengming said: "Dig up the silver in the pigsty, won't you have money?" Burying silver in the ground will not make money, but this can make a lot of money. ”

The man said, "Who still hides silver in the pigsty now?" Everyone keeps their money in the bank, and the bank pays back a little interest. But we have a maximum of 20,000 yuan, where did we get more than 1 million yuan? ”

Wu Mengming smiled: "Dozens of you people are together, isn't this okay?" ”

The man smiled bitterly: "There are dozens of factories in one factory, and that one is too troublesome, generally speaking, no more than ten will do." But even if there are ten, one will cost more than 100,000 yuan. My lord, who has so much money, we have invested all our money in the fields. ”

Wu Mengming said with a smile: "As I said just now, there is no profit in the field now, so it is better to sell it." ”

This made everyone think in their hearts, there is really no profit in this land, and this year's harvest is about to rot in the ground, if the price is right, it is a good choice to sell.

The man said, "Even if we want to sell it, to whom?" Who will buy it at this time? ”
