The terrain to the south of the village is not high, so you can see a convoy coming from a distance, three carriages, and the two cars in front are also full of people, the color of their clothes is soapy black, which is very recognizable, and some have red vests, they are slowly coming to Shangshui Village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'm here to harvest autumn grain, these miscellaneous pieces, I only recognize money and grain, but I don't care if it's a disaster year or not."

"Looking at the posture, the three big cars, I'm afraid that they really can't dodge, aren't they afraid of hurting the sky?"

……

The villagers all said angrily, everyone's face is not good, and there are many angry young people who complain about Lizheng, basically the first year of this year is not as good as the year, especially the summer grain harvest is getting lower and lower, it is better to only plant autumn grain.

Wuyi also knows a little bit, this summer grain is winter wheat, this period is exactly the Xiaoice River period, the temperature does not rise, the wheat does not grow, but the government only pays taxes, but no matter so much, the arrears are not easy to pay, this is usury.

Wu Yi took the opportunity to say what he thought, he usually didn't have a chance to ask, but now it's just right.

"Lizheng, I see that there is a lot of wasteland in this area, and we also have river water here, why don't we build a waterwheel to divert water to irrigate the wasteland, and the harvest is indispensable." Wu Yi asked tentatively, after all, this matter was not as simple as he thought, and there might be something strange.

Li Zheng Yuhai didn't wait for him to speak, and the young man next to him had already said that Wu Hu, the second son of the Ma family in the village, was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old strong man, and that piece was still their family's ranch.

"Water wheels? Diversion of water for irrigation is paddy field, and the tax burden is higher, but that piece of land is wasteland, even if there is water, it is not as good as cooked land, who will plant money-losing goods? To Wuyi's surprise, he originally thought that this kid was afraid of occupying his family's ranch, but it turned out that the real source was this, black, it was really too dark, and the government made him speechless.

"Alas, in fact, this is not a positive tax, but it is acceptable, but the rest is not guaranteed, Liao is finished and it is a side sound, and the miscellaneous taxes are not counted, this year is sad." Li Zheng Yuhai paused for the crutches in his hand, and his thoughts flew away.

"Yes, I miss the harvest years, but at that time there was surplus grain in the family, and my family raised more than ten hens at that time...... "Another elderly villager sighed, and now all the hens raised in this village add up to this number, and no one has any surplus grain to raise."

Wuyi has a profound view of the Ming Dynasty, how could he never have imagined that it would be like this, there is land that cannot be planted, so what is there to mention to Anmin, this Shangshui Village still relies on water, and those households without water are even more conceivable.

"Phew, they are all dog officials, I heard that most of this tax has gone into their mouths, Lu Laizi of the right office, thousands of acres of paddy fields at home, and the result is less than us......" Wu Hu scolded angrily.

Sure enough, any dynasty has privileges, and there are some scholars who have exemptions, but they are only at the expense of real farmers, and you don't see a luxury car in the bank every month with money from the capital.

"And who is Lu Laizi?" Wu Yi was also curious, he seemed to have heard what people had said, but he didn't take it seriously, and this time he was interested.

Wu Hu was a little disdainful of Na Lu Laizi, but just spit on him and said, "Just splash your skin." ”

Li Zheng Yuhai also stopped everyone's words, the car was already close, "Be cautious in words and deeds, really think that this Ling Yin is a good match, and the county order will break the door and order Yin." Hurry up and prepare the jug and bring my table here......"

It's not the first time that everyone has received these little ghosts, this is the Hades on their heads, don't dare to slack off, Wu Yi saw that Wu Hu was still spitting into the jug, which made him feel cold.

Three old horses with mixed hair and skinny bones, pulling a babbling cart came over, there were nine people in the carriage, all of them were almost dressed in similar clothes, black blouses, and a circle of flying children at the hem, but most of them were tattered, some were simply gone, and the top of their heads was a square flat hat, and a few were still wearing vests with red edges, and they were also wearing red belts, which were also conspicuous in the crowd, and the others were gray, and should be red with high status.

"Li Bantou, why did you come here in person?" Li Zheng Yuhai raised his old face full of folds and said flatteringly, the other party was a tall but very strong man, with a beard and piercing eyes, and a face full of flesh squeezing his small eyes into the flesh.

"How? Can't we come? At this moment, it was a young soap with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and the male duck asked with meanness in his throat.

"Where, where, the road is hard, please drink water to moisten your throat." Li Zheng Yuhai hurriedly responded, and then sent someone to bring them water.

This Li Tou wiped his mouth and said impatiently: "Don't be rubbing, call everyone quickly, delay the time, go back late, I must make you look good." ”

The women in the village didn't dare to show their heads, and the men who came were all men from the main family, and everyone gathered at the entrance of the village, all of them cowered, and some even put their hands into their sleeves on a hot day, which made people laugh when they looked at it.

But these poor people did not leave to speak, and then two of them began to move, and they had an extra white official newspaper in their hands, which was not attached to the wall, but one person grabbed the other and was about to open it.

And the faces of the villagers are difficult to look at, the white notice is not good, it is usually the wanted notice, but it is rarely sent to them, the other is the national policy of human life, I am afraid that the latter is the majority, I am afraid that these people are not here to harvest autumn grain so simple today.

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked official had already begun to read, the text was crepe, obscure, and he didn't read the official documents, but he was afraid that he would memorize them.

Wu Yi was confused, and the following villagers were the same, after all, there were no scholars, and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks then began to explain in the vernacular: "Needless to say, to put it simply, it is that the Jianzhou Tartar soldiers have recently run rampant in the four fields, burning, killing and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, the imperial court has sent a large army to kill slaves, but the army has no food and salary. ”

"Roar." Several officials and messengers of the water and fire sticks spoke out together, knocking on the ground, and also making the villagers all shrink their necks and take a step back, so that they could take the lead.

"Then hurry up, don't think that someone is a good match." At this time, Li Bantou also took out a fine iron chain to speak, and then the soap with the sharp beak monkey's cheeks also took out the account book from the briefcase and began to read: "Zhang Dayou, one stone and three buckets, of which last year and five buckets of summer grain were in arrears, and they were all paid together." ”

This Zhang Dayou suddenly panicked, shouting for grace, his autumn grain harvest is only fifty percent, this is all handed over, and the family will run out of food.

"That is, this year of disasters continues, and the government should also collect taxes according to the harvest of disaster years." Wu Hu said protestingly.

But he had just spoken, but the plum head had already walked over, and as soon as he shook it in his hand, the fine iron chain was thrown up, and it was directly put on his neck, the movements were concise and no fancy, and it was one-handed, this fine iron chain weighed more than ten catties, and it was used beautifully by him, but he was afraid that it was not as simple as covering his neck if he dared to stop it, and if he really hit the vital point, he would die.

"How? Do you still want to instruct the government to do things? This Li Tou asked viciously, and then his hand was tight, and Wu Hu didn't dare to show off, and stood here honestly.

"Don't dare, he's just a fool, let's pay it, we will ......pay it, we will pay it" Li Zheng Yuhai didn't care about his old age and weakness, he walked up to stop him, and begged for mercy for Wu Hu, and Wu Hu's brother was also full of pleading, so he let him go.

"Wu family, two stones and four buckets." The sharp-beaked monkey's gills read it directly.

"This can't be mispronounced, how can it be so much, how can it be so ......much" Wu Hu's elder brother lost his mind, Wu Long was two years older than his younger brother but had not yet married a wife, and he was also a family member, so he couldn't help but speak out at this moment.

His family is still a horse household, and it stands to reason that he is also a wealthy family, but last year, his father had an accident and the family's property was spent, but he still didn't save it.

"That person is He Xiyu, who is notoriously black and has poisonous eyes, and he is calculated according to the Wu family's harvest." The second man also said to Wuyi angrily.

It's just that He Xiyu not only has poisonous eyes, but also spiritual ears, and he actually heard it, and at this moment he also laughed and said: "What, what I said is wrong? Then let me show you, the Wu family has eight acres of land, but there is also Ma Zheng, and the pasture is 1,800 acres, which is not money? ”

Wu Long hurriedly said: "There are not so many, only five hundred acres." ”

"That piece is your ranch, if it weren't for your father's face, Li would have to measure it carefully, do you recognize it?" Li Tou asked again, this time it was Wu Long who wilted, but I was afraid that there was more to that land.

Wu Yi also sneered in his heart, these two people are so cooperative, they have already settled everything, and they will talk with their fists when they are reasonable, and they will eat to death on the left and right.

Now he is worried about the second son, this kid just offended the sharp-beaked monkey cheek, this kind of person absolutely holds grudges, and revenge is not overnight, sure enough, after this side is finished, a few people will come to the innermost part of the village, there are only a few families here, and the corner is the Wang family and the sister-in-law's house.

"Yo he, this Wang Mian doesn't want to have a promising son, it's amazing, there will definitely be something to do in the future, then forget all the arrears, your family has a heavy debt in the second year of this dynasty." He Xitao, who had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, said with a smile, his eyes were full of viciousness, and he could remember the account book in his hand clearly.

"My family has no debts, the master must have seen it wrong, it's all this bastard, I'll kill you." Wang Mian was angry and greeted the second man with a wooden stick, of course he knew what he was messing with.

"Yes or no, what you and I said doesn't count, you can remember it when you look at it, in the second year of this dynasty, you owe two dollars for labor, do you still want to repay the debt?" He Xiyu doesn't watch them act, anyway, he is not happy, and no one wants to be happy.

"How is that possible?" Wang Mian screamed, sat on the ground and lost his soul, this is a matter of a few years, the number is only afraid that it will kill people, how dare you admit it, but you don't dare to deny it.

Wu Yi also saw the account book from the back, every household has a note, this is their means of eating the dead people, this honest Wang Mian has been eaten to death, and other families must have bad debts, just to see when he eats, this is called fish and meat township.

"Which one are you? Dare to be troublesome, see that I don't clean you up. "It was broken by Wu Yi on the spot, this He Xiyu was so angry that he slapped it directly, Wu Yi's cold light flashed, and his lungs were about to explode.
