Chapter 142: The Reason for the Appearance of the Bandits
Luan Tingyu got up early in the morning, his intuitive head hurt, rubbed his temples a few times, relieved it slightly, and walked out of the door.
"It's all about what you have for breakfast, and the little one will be prepared for you!" The little guy said diligently.
Luan Tingyu's brain was just a mess, he didn't pay attention to the name of the little guy, he ate casually, and he was about to leave with his feet raised.
"Wait."
Luan Tingyu stopped and wondered, "What did you call me just now?" Call it again. β
The little guy scratched his head and said, "What do you say, why can't the little one understand?" β
Luan Tingyu shouted badly, he knew that the leaders of Liangshan were all hanging on to the position of capital unification, but why did he also become the capital commander?
Ignoring the little guy, Luan Tingyu directly found Deng Long and asked, "Lord Deng Zhai, why did I become the capital commander?" β
Li Zhu next to him laughed and said: "Brother Luan, we all drank together last night, and the wine was half-drunk, and you cried and made a fuss about joining Liangshan." When my brother saw that your martial arts were okay, he accepted you.
By the way, he also said at the time that if my brother didn't take you in, you would die on the pillar, and many people saw it...... Rattle! β
Li Zhu's acting skills definitely surpass the actor, what he said, coupled with the sincere expression on his face, Deng Long almost believed it!
Luan Tingyu was stunned and said, "I won't ......, I won't be so exaggerated!" β
"Otherwise, I'll bring those people from last night and tell you, it's not a big deal now anyway!" Li Zhu's face was full of eager suggestions.
Luan Tingyu had already had the idea of returning to Liangshan, and now that there was a step, Luan Tingyu hurriedly rejected Li Zhu's eager proposal.
Just kidding, if he really did that last night, he would say it in broad daylight today, and in the rivers and lakes, he Luan Tingyu would be famous.
Deng Long smiled gently: "Since Sect Leader Luan has joined Liangshan, he must act according to the rules of Liangshan. I will write a letter later, you take it back to Liangshan and hand it to the sect elder, and he will arrange for you to have soldiers and horses! β
Luan Tingyu sighed: "A few years ago, I saw the elder of the sect, but I saw through the filthiness of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, so I didn't agree to him to be a military attachΓ©, but I didn't expect that a few years later, we met together again, fate is really mysterious!" β
Deng Long has long known about Luan Tingyu and Zong Ze's acquaintance, but Luan Tingyu and Zong Ze have a general relationship, otherwise how could he wait until today to get Luan Tingyu to Liangshan!
Several people talked for a while, had breakfast, made a pot of tea, and chatted together.
Although the real battle was only one day, the tense spirit for several days still made everyone tired.
There are no good entertainment items, everyone talked about it, and then they dispersed, practicing martial arts, playing idle and doing their own things.
Deng Long only practiced the morning exercises, so at this time he held a volume of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" and watched it energetically.
Maybe it's because I'm in a different position, and when I read a book, I can feel different.
It's like a beggar holding a broken bowl and just thinking about begging, rich merchant
Holding the broken bowl, he was thinking about buying this broken bowl at a good price.
Being in different positions, you naturally see things differently.
Deng Long seemed to understand the essence of the book, laughing twice from time to time, and seemed to have benefited a lot from the book.
At this time, the people next to him are envious and abnormal. The owner of the village is the owner of the village, and he realized the truth in the book so quickly, not comparable to me and other small guys!
If Deng Long knew about their thoughts, he would definitely smack them up. I just can't recognize those rare words, just guess the approximate meaning, this is enlightenment?
Regardless of whether Deng Long really got anything or not, these subordinates were very respectful to Deng Long.
In one year's time, creating such a big family business, not everyone can compare!
Deng Long's position in Liangshan can be described as extremely solid, and no one can interfere in Liangshan's internal affairs at will, not even Zong Ze!
An hour later, Deng Long put down his book, stretched his waist, and completed another task today.
It's been almost a year since I arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, and I haven't seen the real farm life.
So Deng Long, Li Kui, and Hu Sanniang came to the field to take a look.
The green and yellow wheat is about to ripen, and the farmers have already prepared warehouses to load grain.
The current season is the time when there is nothing to do, and they are enjoying the shade under the trees in twos and threes.
Deng Long came to a group of old farmers and said with a smile: "This year is a good New Year's Festival, look at the wheat in the field, it is all very festive!" β
One of the oldest old farmers glanced at Deng Long, but he didn't recognize who Deng Long was, smacked his mouth, and reprimanded: "A good offspring is not good at farming, what is the king of the mountain, the old man doesn't want to talk to you!" β
After speaking, he slowly stood up, bent his waist, and walked towards his field.
The remaining three old peasants, relying on their sixties, taught Deng Long a lesson for half an hour, and did not stop reprimanding them until Deng Long brought them tea.
Deng Long was not angry at all, in which familiar era, there were also such a group of old farmers who often scolded themselves, and now relive it, it's not bad!
Waiting for the old farmer to ease up, and wanted to continue to live his life, Deng Long hurriedly asked: "This year is good, why is everyone still sad, and there are other reasons for this?" β
The relatively young old man sighed: "No matter how good the year is, there is a fart, after paying taxes in summer and autumn, everyone can only barely fill their stomachs." If the year is not good, we old guys can only die early and be reincarnated! β
Deng Long followed the old man and sighed: "I don't know if the imperial court has collected so many taxes, why don't you send a few better officials to govern the place!" β
The old man looked left and right, and said in a low voice and viciously: "It's all the bad things done by those traitorous ministers, who are forced to be holy and corrupt the court, if they fall into the hands of the old man, they will definitely be cramped and stripped of their bones, so that they will not die well!" β
And so it was!
Deng Long didn't feel good in his heart, the emperor who visited the kiln was not a good bird at all, but these hard-working people still supported him unconditionally.
It's just that they won't be able to live for a few more years. When the Jin soldiers go south, the lives will be ruined, and there will be a stable place in this world.
Deng Long didn't talk about this, but asked about agriculture.
The old farmer has been planting all his life, and all kinds of things are clear, and this can't be stopped at all.
The two old men next to him couldn't help but join the discussion.
Li Kui and Hu Sanniang stared at each other with wide eyes, seeing that no one was convinced, but when they saw that the people around Deng Long were gathering more and more, they hurriedly ran to him and faintly protected Deng Long.
These old farmers are all experienced people, and it didn't take long for Deng Long to figure out the general situation of the current grain.
The high-quality paddy fields, in a good year, can produce 450 catties of grain per acre. After paying the rent, there were probably only 200 catties of grain left.
Medium paddy field, the yield is not very stable, good and bad, a good year produces 400 catties of grain, a bad year, there is an output of 200 catties, everyone can lie down and wake up with a smile.
This is the case for the landlord to farm.
Those who have land by themselves, although they do not pay rent, but the taxes paid by the imperial court are no less than the rent, so that those who have land will sell the land to Xiucaigong and rent the land for planting.
Because the land owned by Xiucai does not have to pay taxes, this is the biggest reason for land annexation.
Whether they have land or don't have land, they have to pay a poll tax to the imperial court, and those who can't afford it will go to the mountains and become homeless.
As long as the homeless people can't eat enough, they will immediately gather hundreds of people and horses, rob houses and houses, and fall into the grass.
This is the reason why bandits became popular in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition, today's Son of Heaven ignores the government and most of the officials are corrupt, and the world in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty was chaotic!
