Chapter 10: The Robbery of the People's Girl (I)
Ten miles east of Chenfu, there is a village named Shaojiawei, and all sides of the endless are covered with a layer of green uniforms, which can not help but make people sigh, a good harvest year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The wheat seedlings have grown half an arm's height, and wild birds and pheasants pass through them from time to time.
Chen Yu took Zhu Shou and the others to this place, originally he didn't want to take Liu Gong, but it was easy to say that Liu Gong just didn't agree to Zhu Shou going out alone, so he had no choice, so he let him follow a few miles away, according to Zhu Shou's statement, it was boring to take Liu Gong to play!
"I've always heard that Jiangnan is rich, and I can see it today, and I really see it!" Zhu Shou sighed in front of the green wheat fields: "But even if you are so rich, why is the national tax revenue decreasing?" It is strange that from the early years of Hongji to more than 19 million stone to today's 18 million stone, it is decreasing every year. ”
Sure enough, it is the background of the official family, if it is a different scholar, I can't say that I will sigh at this scene, such as "Zhumen's wine and meat stink".
"The poor receive food, and the rich enjoy coolness." How could Chen Yu not know these things, he is such a rich man, but his family never accepts the cold, and he never bullies the tenants, this is Chen Yu's father's hard and fast rules.
He said that when he was young, he and Chen Yu lived hard enough, and it was all the help of the villagers that they would not starve to death, and now that the family is better, they naturally have to know how to be grateful.
"Jiangnan is rich, but there are also a lot of official fields, Huangzhuang, and gentry, these people employ tenant farmers and squeeze out all the value on their bodies, not to mention, according to various methods to evade taxes, the state does not care, this is naturally the tax is decreasing year by year."
"A small farmer who has a few pieces of fertile land, the land in his hand may have been handed down by his ancestors, but before he could cover it in his arms, he was taken away by others, and he had no land, so he had to go to be a tenant, and the landlord couldn't stand the exploitation of the tenants, so he became a homeless, hey......"
Zhu Shou listened to Chen Yu's words and thought about it, in fact, these words were said by Tang Yixun, and Chen Yu just borrowed them temporarily.
But the content of these words, Chen Yu has experienced, when he was a child, his family was unsatisfactory, and Chen Dafu also took Chen Yu to be a homeless person (although it was very short), in fact, if you want to study it carefully, Chen Yu's ancestral home should be in Shaanxi, but Chen Yu was young at that time and didn't have so many feelings.
"Chen Yu, you know so much!" Zhu Shou said with a look of admiration, "I can't say that I can also enter the court and be a pavilion elder in the future!" ”
Chen Yu looked into the distance with deep eyes, and he stretched out a gesture with his right hand: "Shhh......hh
With that, he rushed out with a swish, and the wooden stick with the thickness of his arm whistled in the wind from nowhere, and his whole body seemed to be racing against the wind, chasing a pheasant not far away.
Zhu Shou was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Yu's actions, and chased him out excitedly.
It was a very obese pheasant, and it seemed that he had eaten a lot of crops, and seeing that the speed was getting slower and slower, Chen Yu went down with a big stick and smashed the pheasant steadily.
"Haha, there's meat to eat!" Zhu Shouxiao's face was flushed, and he didn't know when he came to Chen Yu's side.
Chen Yu smiled: "By the way, what did you just tell me?" ”
Zhu Shou also smiled: "It's nothing." ”
"Oh, then let's wash this chicken and roast it!" Chen Yu casually handed the chicken to Zhu Shou and took Zhu Shou to the river.
The loose reeds along the river have turned a little green, and the shore has been surrounded by some green grass.
The surrounding is boundless, the breeze blows, refreshing, the small river meanders, with the surrounding green wheat fields, an indescribable pastoral scenery, even the rough people who don't understand the mood will wrinkle a few sentences when they see this scenery.
Zhu Shou picked up the pheasant and was about to wash it, but Liu Gong behind him rushed over at some point, and hurriedly said: "This old slave who washes chickens is doing it, son, you should watch from the side." ”
As he spoke, he snatched the pheasant from Zhu Shou's hand and prepared to pluck the feathers by the river.
Chen Yu knew that this Liu Gong was worried about Zhu Shou's safety, this was too much of a fuss, this Xiaohe Lao Tzu stripped naked, and the water was just over his thighs!
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't be a big-tailed wolf, this chicken feather is not plucked like this, if it is according to your plucking method, we may not be able to eat it until tomorrow!" ”
That Liu Gong really hadn't plucked chicken feathers, and couldn't help but say a little shyly: "Is the old slave doing something wrong?" ”
"That's natural, the two of you haven't played in the countryside, this plucking chicken feathers, you still have to use hot water, and it must be boiling water, this cold water plucking, this has to be plucked to the Year of the Monkey!" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Rural?" Liu Gong said to himself: "It's just that I haven't eaten chicken since I was a child." ”
"But where do we have hot water? I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't bring a fire fold or an iron pot. Zhu Shou looked at the pheasant in Liu Gong's hand and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Hey, so I'm telling you to read more!" Chen Yu looked at the sky, then pulled out the glass he was carrying from Zhu Shou's waist, and then said to Zhu Shou: "Go to the river and dig an earthen pot in a dry place, which is full of water, and the bottom is filled with the dry reeds." ”
"Quick, do what Chen Yu said!" Zhu Shou excitedly said to Liu Gong, although he didn't know Chen Yu's purpose for doing this, but Zhu Shou believed that Chen Yu would do something miraculous.
"Yes!" Liu Gong listened to Zhu Shou's words, and went to the river to make a homemade earthen pot, Liu Gong is better at this matter, when he was in a farmer's house in Shaanxi, he often did these things, and then casually cooked some weeds to satisfy his hunger, thinking of the past, he wiped a trace of fierceness in his eyes!
If it weren't for the loss of livelihood, who would go to extremes in these years? Liu Gong looked at his crotch, and started the earthen pot seriously, for decades, the biggest success in his life was to follow the little master in front of him!
Chen Yu took the glass on Zhu Shou's body, looked at the sun in the sky from time to time, and then kept changing his gestures, and then looked at the hay on the ground.
This behavior was so strange that Zhu Shou couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?" Isn't it a practice? ”
Be your uncle! The anger in Chen Yu's heart, have you ever seen this method?
He said: "This is the reason for you to read more, to cut the ice to make the circle, to lift to the sun, and to accept its shadow to the fire." ”
Zhu Shoudao: "I know this, this is "Huainanzi? One in "Wanbi Technique", but isn't that talking about ice? Oh! I see! Chen Yu, you are so smart! ”
This kid is not stupid, he knows the source of this sentence in an instant, but he is not a second-generation official who eats and waits for death all day long, and he can draw inferences from one another, he is really a smart person!
After a while, the dried wormwood on the ground was on fire, and after the boiling water was boiled, according to Chen Yu's method, the pheasant's feathers were plucked out in a while.
Although there is no salt, although the roast is a little burnt, the three of them eat it with relish, especially Zhu Shou.
I filled my stomach, and as soon as I got together, I saw a group of people walking towards me.
Seeing the situation, Liu Gong nervously protected Zhu Shou behind him.
When I got closer, I found that all the farmers who came were simple, and one of them was called Shao Laoda: "We thought there was a fire here, but it turned out that a few people were stealing food, haha." ”
"Although this green wheat seedling is not easy to catch fire, we are also worried, if something goes wrong, this summer tax will be over!"
I don't know who said: "Isn't this the eldest son of Chen?" ”
The rest of the people looked at Chen Yu for a while, and then said: "It's really the eldest son of Chen, hey, then the Li family is blessed, planting the land of the Chen family, and living a very comfortable life, pity our Shao family Weizi, how can we stand on that old Wang Ba!" ”
The people of Qiantang said that Wang and Fang and Huang couldn't tell the difference, and the old Wang Ba in their mouths was Fang Mu Fang Ba is also.
As he spoke, another person ran behind the group of villagers, he was out of breath and said breathlessly: "Boss Shao...... No...... Oh no, Wu Laogou saw that your daughter couldn't walk, so he insisted on grabbing your daughter to be a concubine in the county town! ”
"What? This...... This, we can't offend the Fang family! The villagers were full of anxiety, and suddenly Shao Lao Da knelt down towards Chen Yu, he cried and begged: "Chen Gongzi, you have a good heart, please go and talk to the Fang family, let my daughter go, he is only thirteen, how can he marry Wu Laogou!" ”
Wu Laogou is the steward of Fang Mu's family, and he basically completes the matter of collecting rent and going to the countryside.
And the entire Shao family's land belongs to their Fang family, just like the entire Li family's Weizi, all the land belongs to Chen Yu's family.
In other words, these peasants were tenants.
This old Wu dog Chen Yu also knows, this old pervert is sixty years old, and he still thinks about other people's yellow flower girls, it's shameless!
The reason why these tenants begged Chen Yu was because they all knew that the Chen family and the Fang family had a relationship, and the two were brothers-in-law, but the Chen family was obviously easy to talk to, so asking Chen Yu was a good way, and besides, this opportunity could not be met at any time.
After seeing Boss Shao kneeling, the rest of the villagers also knelt down one after another.
"In broad daylight, robbing the people's daughters, but there is still a king's law!" Zhu Shouxiao's face was flushed, and his anger swelled.
"The royal law is not for us, our royal law is the Fang family! Please! Boss Shao was still crying, "If it's any longer, I'm afraid my daughter will ...... It's going to be ruined! ”
"Take me, I'm going to see what kind of dog that is! It's really lawless, isn't it? Zhu Shou said angrily.
Chen Yu also said: "Get up, this little brother, you mean what you say!" ”
Anyway, Zhu Shou also has an official body, and he is about to take the hospital test, so it is not good to cause some trouble, and he still has some friendship with the Fang family.
Under the leadership of Boss Shao, the three of them arrived at Shaojia Village after a while.
There was no dog barking in the silence of the village, but often the barking that broke out in this case was the most terrible, and it didn't take long for a girl's cry to reach the ears of the three people: "Don't ...... Please...... Leave me alone, we just paid the rent a few days ago......"
