Mo Weibao hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive, now there are soldiers fighting everywhere outside, if you go to be a soldier, you don't know martial arts, you will only die in vain, do you think that the mother-in-law at home is a widow at a young age?" ”

When the elders heard Mo Weibao say this, they thought about the mother-in-law who was warming the bed at home, and their hearts became empty again.

Dai Wang asked, "Township Chief, what do you say?" ”

"I don't know what to do. No, isn't Lord Song here? Mo Weibao looked at Song Hua.

When Song Hua was about to speak, Dai Wang sneered: "I have relatives who work as errands in the yamen, and I heard that Lord Song himself is difficult to protect, and he will not be able to be a county magistrate next month." ”

"Dai Wang, is this true?" Arisato asked in surprise.

Mo Weibao's face didn't look good, he had heard the news early in the morning.

He also has a relationship with the errand in Leizhou Mansion and confirms that this is not fake news, so he does not have as much respect for Song Hua as before.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to pay taxes and grain this time, he would have to have Song Hua take the idea, so he wouldn't have bird Song Hua, and he made his posture so low, and waited for Song Hua outside with so many lichang.

Song Hua's face didn't look good, he looked at these people, and said angrily: "I am still the county governor of Suixi County, and I am also responsible for the tax and grain situation in Yangqing Township, so you have to listen to me." ”

"Yes, we must listen to Lord Song." Mo Weibao echoed tactfully. "Your Excellency, you can help us figure it out. If all the young and middle-aged people in our township go to serve in the army, our township will be finished. ”

Song Hua secretly bowed his head, the young and middle-aged people in the farmers were not busy working on the farmland at home, and those women, children, old and young would definitely not be able to do it, and they would starve to death in the future.

"I'm also thinking of a way, can't you go to the farmers and think of a way?" Song Hua looked at these lieutenants.

According to the situation sent by Song Hua to investigate, Yangqing Township is not all poor, and some people can afford to pay taxes and grain.

But most people can't afford to pay, and there will be problems anyway, so many people don't pay it, and now it's only one-tenth of what they have handed over.

Mo Weibao whispered to Song Hua: "My lord, it seems that the only way to ask the county commander to go to other townships to borrow grain." Next year, we'll find a way to give them back. ”

"What if you can't borrow it?" Song Wenjian in the back interjected a sentence.

"Can't borrow it?" Mo Weibao was stunned for a moment. "No way, we'll pay it back next year."

Song Wenjian sneered: "Township Chief Mo, you still underestimate others. I ask you, how much more will you have next year? ”

"We borrow as much as we want." Mo Weibao didn't want to blurt it out.

"Is it possible? Those people are not stupid, they will make you pay back two or three times the interest. If the farmers can't pay it back, they will take your fields. "Song Wenjian is very aware of the temperament of those landlords and gentry.

Needless to say, Mo Weibao's family is so rich. When Song Wenjian came in just now, he found that the compound was as spacious as the county yamen, and there were dozens of subordinates inside.

If Mo Weibao really thinks about the farmers, his family should be able to get 10,000 stone of grain or money for the time being.

"If I want to repay two or three times the interest, I can find a way." Greed welled up in Mo Weibao's eyes.

The farmer's land is very valuable, and if he can buy it, he will make a fortune in the future.

But after hearing this, Dai Wang shook his head desperately and said: "We don't accept it, if we want to pay back so much, we would rather go and enlist in the army." ”

This kind of high interest rate is the usury of later generations.

"Well, then we can't do anything." Mo Weibao said.

All this was seen by Song Wenjian, and he already had an idea in his heart.

"Guys, I've thought of some ways, I wonder if you'd like to go to the farmland with me?" Song Wenjian asked.

"Have you figured it out?" Mo Weibao's eyes lit up.

Song Wenjian followed Song Hua over just now, and he always thought that Song Wenjian was a warden and other errand people, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Now that Song Wenjian said that he had an idea, he asked Song Hua: "Lord Song, who is this?" ”

Before Song Hua could answer, Zheng Sike had already straightened his chest and said, "This is Song Wenjian, the son of our family. ”

"Your son-in-law?" Mo Weibao remembered that Song Hua only had one son, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Isn't that just a second fool?" ”

"Ah, two fools?" Dai Wang, too, screamed in surprise.

Song Hua's son is a second fool, which is not a secret in Suixi County.

Dai Wang is on fire, everyone listens to this second fool say so much nonsense, what a waste of time. "Lord Song, if nothing happens, I'll go home."

"yes, I'm going home to work too." The other lieutenants seemed to have Dai Wang as their head, and as long as Dai Wang said it, they all supported it.

Song Wenjian sneered: "Dai Wangli, there is still a month or so before the deadline for paying taxes and grain, can you solve the problem when you go home?" Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your farmers. ”

Song Hua also followed: "Well, listen to the dog, go to the farmland and have a look, it's not a big deal." ”

Seeing that Song Hua said this, Mo Weibao couldn't sweep Song Hua's face, so he had to walk up to Dai Wang and whispered: "Dai Wang, everyone go, just play with the second fool." ”

"Okay." Dai Wang said helplessly. Dead horses are live horse doctors, no matter what, they will not borrow high interest.

Song Wenjian asked the groom to drive to a farmland he had just visited.

There are some farmers on the other side of the farmland who are harvesting golden rice, but the rice is sparse, and the rice seems to be malnourished, and the yield per mu is not much.

"II...... Master, what did you call us here for? Want to grab food? Dai Wang sneered.

Song Wenjian said with a smile: "I brought you here to explain a problem to you, if these farmlands are cultivated for me, I can grow at least ten stones of grain per mu a year." ”

"Is that true?" Dai Wang's eyes lit up suddenly.

However, Dai Wang's eyes soon darkened again, because he thought that this was what the second fool said, how could he take it seriously?

"Brother Wang, if what Young Master Song said is true, we will not only have food to pay taxes in the future, but also have enough to eat." The other lieutenants walked up to Dai Wang and said excitedly.

Because Dai Wang is a straight person, he is not afraid of offending people if he has something to say, so these lieutenants recommended Dai Wang as the leader of this grain payment.

What did Dai Wang's eighth mile do, they also did in the other miles.

It is said that there are already some peasant households in other places who really can't survive to rebel, and if they can't survive, it's a big deal to become soldiers or rebel.

Farmers like them only grow one rice crop a year, and the yield per mu is about two or three stones, and if they have a few acres at home, they can earn more than ten stone of grain a year.

This is the income under normal circumstances, and does not include the occurrence of natural disasters and their rations.

In order to pay taxes and make a living, they also had to work for the gentry and earn wages to balance the family's expenses.

Today, in the face of drought, the grain yield of the farmland has decreased, and like the acre of land in front, the income is only more than one stone of grain at most.
