As he spoke, he grew towards the family disciples behind him! line hunger; , this is our county lord in Fangshan. ”

"Plop plop!" More than 30 men knelt on the ground.

Since this is Fangshan County, this old man is the chief, so this person should be a low-level cadre under him.

Because the power of the governor in feudal society is very great. It's a real analogy, if this person is in the next generation, at least what, the level of the secretary of the township party committee, and in the future, he will also be the right-hand man of Sun Dan's governance of the place, so what if Sun Dan doesn't want to take him?

Sun Dan nodded and reached out to help him. He shouted to the crowd again: "Townsfolk get up."

The chief still struggled to move: "I'm waiting for the eldest lord to offend, how dare I stand up and speak, I offended a lot just now, and I hope the eldest lord will punish me." ”

Sun Dan couldn't do anything about them, he dragged them up and knelt down one by one, and he could only let them go.

"Look at the way you look like ordinary people. Why did you come to rob the road? Sun Dan was curious. The Ming Dynasty was in its heyday, the country was rich, and the sea was peaceful. Although ordinary people are still living in poverty, they are not too poor to eat. The Chinese people are the most kind and hardworking, but as long as they have a mouthful of porridge to drink, they will not rise up and do that risky thing.

"If you go back to the eldest master, we are all good citizens, how can we come here to be robbers." The lieutenant was buttoned down by Sun Dan's big hat. It was as white as snow on the ground. There are also fine hairs on the forehead that sweat drip. As he spoke, white water vapor rose from his head.

A shout of "master" made Sun Dan slightly stunned, he was also known as "Master Sun" and "Master Sun" before. shouted, but he knew it was all fake. In the Ming Dynasty, there were strict rules on the title, and only the county officials of the seventh rank and the miscellaneous officials of the eighth grade could be called "lord" or

"Big Master".

It was only at this time that Sun Dan realized that he was the parent official of this group of people, and he found a little sense of being an official.

Shi Wan's whole body was still in severe pain, and he was even more angry in his heart, and he interjected and shouted angrily: "Good people, are there good people like you? Even Master Sun dared to rob him, I think you will dare to lead people into Beijing if you continue to be so good. He hated this group of Diao people to the core, and he only wanted Sun Dan to treat them for a major crime of rebellion and kill them all.

Only Shi Wanquan drank like this, and the lieutenant named Zhou Xinshu was even more panicked and at a loss. Or a tall posterior brain beside him, suddenly knocked his head down, and wailed: "The old man and the people of the county have grievances!" ”

This sound was like a cuckoo crying blood, which startled Sun Dan.

The lieutenant immediately came back to his senses, and also shouted loudly: "We have grievances, please ask Lord Qingtian to make the decision for us!" ”

Dozens of descendants also shouted loudly at the same time.

At this time, only a cracked liver sound was heard, and Sun Dan hurriedly turned his head to look at the side where the voice came from.

I saw that Feng Zhen had already torn open the fishing net with a pair of fleshy palms and rushed out, he was a boxing master, and he was already powerful. If he hadn't been caught off guard for a moment just now, he would have been covered with a fishing net, and dozens of ordinary people would not have been able to get close to him. Just now, Sun Dan revealed his identity. No one cared about him.

Feng Zhen got this opportunity and tore his hands apart. He tore a fishing net into two.

He and Sun Hao snatched a wooden stick by themselves. said to Sun Dan: "Master Sun, do you need to take down these people?" ”

Seeing Feng Zhen so powerful, everyone's faces changed color, and their hearts were cold.

As the county commander of a county, how could Sun Dan not order someone to take down his subordinates for a reason, shook his head, and turned his head to look at Zhou Xinshu and the young man who spoke: "This is strange, you ambushed the official halfway and did something like a traitor, why did you call it wronged?" ”

Eat Sun Dan asked,? Chang Zhou Xinshu was speechless.

It's beside him. The latter was bold, and plucked up the courage to say: "If you go back to the old man, we are not here to rob the Dao," we, "We are here to fight the people of Huajiazhuang." ”

Sun Dan said "oh": "Is Huajiazhuang a small Huajiazhuang, according to this official, it is all woods, but there is no Zhuangzi."

The latter was a little embarrassed, "I heard that Huajiazhuang invited a person named Singleton to come over to cheer." Those thugs are all martial arts masters, and we are all ordinary people, how can we be their opponents. After thinking about it, Akari was afraid of beating them. It's better to lie in ambush on the side of the road and see if there's a chance to restrain them. Today happened to be the day when the thugs came, and we came to the roadside to ambush before dawn. Just now, I saw the old man riding a horse and carrying a weapon, I thought it was, I thought it was

Hearing him say this, Sun Dan frowned slightly. The so-called "beating line" is actually an underworld organization that appeared in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Most of these people were illiterate low-class vagrants, and most of them were known for the weapons in their hands. For example, singles beating, mallet beating, and chopping firewood.

It seems that this matter should be a clan fight between Zhoujiazhuang and Huajiazhuang, and the Hua family couldn't beat the Zhou family, so they refused to swallow this breath, and spent money to send people to Beijing to ask the underworld hooligans to come over to help. The people of the Zhou family knew that they couldn't eat Nachuan, so they simply led people to ambush on the side of the road. See if you can hit him in ambush

didn't want to mistake Sun Dan and them for the kind of singleton people, which caused this big misunderstanding.

"Why?" Shi Wanquan roared again: "Do you look like thugs, what eyes, are we blind?" ”

Sun Dan: "What are you doing with Huajiazhuang, and what grievances are you shouting, report them one by one." ”

"It's a long story, it's cold. If it freezes, the sin of the big lord and the small people will be great.

If the eldest lord doesn't dislike our Ranjiazhuang, it is better to go back to Zhuangzi with Xiaomin and wait, and it is good to wait for the hot water to caress the waiter. In this way, the grass people dared to reply to the master's words. ”

Sun Dan looked at the sky, although his eyes were already open, but it was all snow, and it was very cold. Then he nodded: "Lead the way." ”

Feng Zhen reminded Sun Dan in a low voice: "This group of Diao people is very slippery, the eldest lord might as well go back to the county government first." Then send the relevant people to come and ask questions. ”

Sun Dan shook his head: "It's not proper, wait for the thugs invited by Huajiazhuang to come over, if I go back to the county first, I'm afraid that this delay will be a fire." They are all the people under their rule, but they refuse to see anyone shed blood. Besides. This is Fangshan, and it is the county's governing office, so I don't believe there will be any accidents. ”

Feng Zhen and the others were also helpless, so they had to go with Sun Dan and the villagers.

The scale of Zhoujiazhuang does not have more than 30 households. A total of more than 100 people, most of the people in the north gather in the village to live, the village pattern is large, from a distance, a large house, to the distance is also a strange traffic, prosperous and rich.

Seeing the village, Sun Dancai realized that the truth was not as it seemed from the outside. The villagers are still very poor, and most of the houses in the village are yellow mud adobe houses. Fangshan is still in the suburbs of the capital, and it stands to reason that it should not be poor like this. As far as Sun Dan knows. The people in his hometown in Shandong are also much better off than the people here.

When asked, the lieutenant named Zhou Xinshu replied that the reason why he was so poor was because there were many people and little land, and he relied on the crops in the land every year. There is simply not enough to eat. The manpower in the village is rich, but there is no land, and most of the young and middle-aged people are idle at home.

Sun Dan smiled bitterly when he heard this: Who said that there was no unemployed population in ancient times, and this situation like this one can be regarded as hidden unemployment at least. In ancient times, except for farming, there was no way out, once the land was annexed in large quantities, the contradiction between man and land was prominent, it was an uncontrollable turmoil.

As far as Sun Dan knows, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The size of the population has been disputed. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Because of the war, most of the people were left behind. However, the population of the Ming Dynasty was still 50 million, so it is conservatively estimated that the population of the Ming Dynasty at that time was about 7,000 to 80 million. If you really take a careful census, Sun Dan believes that there were at least hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, or even more. At that time, the world's population was only 400 million, so the Ming Dynasty was definitely the most populous country in the world.

The middle of the Ming Dynasty was the time of the population explosion, and since the beginning of the Jiajing period, the population has been growing rapidly. By the time of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, it had reached a staggering 400 million people. The Ming Dynasty had limited land after all, as Sun Dan had said to the emperor before. There is a total of more than 600 million acres of land in the country. In ancient times when there was no modern agriculture, the output of six acres of land was only enough for an ordinary family to eat for a year. Moreover, more than half of the more than 600 million mu of land is concentrated in the hands of big landlords and nobles. Ordinary villages such as Zhoujiazhuang. The per capita land is only a little more than two acres.

The contradiction between man and land has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, which is why Sun Dan brought Shi Wanquan to Fangzhi, just to think if he could make use of this rich labor force and find a side job for the people. Digest the social contradictions brought about by population expansion and increase the income of local people.

For the future, Sun Dan has a plan and a heart.

Although Zhou Xinshu is the head of the house, his family is also very poor. Only a little better than the average poor. There are also two large adobe houses, and the clothes worn by the family are cleaner than those of the average villager, but they are also full of patches.

Sitting on the hot worry, I drank a few sips of hot water. The body warmed up, and the person felt much more comfortable.

After chatting with Zhou Xinshu about the farmers and learning about the local situation, Sun Dan asked: "Zhou Lichang, is Huajiazhuang the same situation as your Zhoujiazhuang?" There are many people, is there enough food to eat in the field? ”

Zhou Xinshu replied: "Huajiazhuang is in the same situation as our Zhoujiazhuang, there are many people on the ground, and there is not enough food in the field. ”

"Then why are you fighting, but for water?" Generally speaking, most of the local clan fights are for water sources and minerals, and Sun Dan thought that this time would be no exception.

"No, no." Zhou Lichang sighed: "It's not because of the little girl" is also the fault of financial resources. In fact, our old Zhou family has lived next to each other for more than 100 years, and everyone intermarried with each other, and they were all relatives. ”

"Oh, it's because of a family affair." Sun Dan was a little surprised. , If you want to know what happened next, please log in, the chapter is more concubine, support the author, support genuine reading
