Looking at Kong Youde and a group of more than ten people leaving, Yang Jingtang and Liao Cheng looked at each other and smiled, this time the Zhao family is in trouble, and the unscrupulous virtue of these Dongjiang bandits in Dengzhou will not make the Zhao family father and son feel better.

In the evening, Yang Jingtang drank a pot of old wine with his favorite concubine Liu, and when he was laughing with Liu, his second housekeeper Wang Lushan asked to see, Wang Lushan was in charge of the Yang family's more than a dozen granges, and he was not in Dengzhou.

"Master, the little one recently went on a business trip to the Grange near Jinghaiwei in Wendeng County, and more than ten Jinghaiwei military households in the original village wanted to return to Jinghaiwei, but they all signed a three-year tenant contract with Zhuangzi, but they said that they would return to Jinghaiwei after the autumn harvest this year, after all, it was a military household, and the small one did not dare to call the shots, and decided after thinking about returning to the master." Wang Lushan, who was in his fifties and slightly fat, knelt respectfully.

"But a few days ago, the neighboring master of the He family came to the door, and he knew the small one, it turned out that Jinghaiwei began to divide the acres of land with the military households, so the military households who cultivated on the Zhuangzi and I wanted to go back to divide the fields, and most of the land of the He family was leased to the military households of Jinghaiwei, a total of more than 20 households, and these people broke hands when the He family left, so they came to ask the lord's charter."

Well, Yang Jingtang's body straightened, what, Jinghai Wei Juntian, isn't that Zhao Lie's guard, hum, I want to go back and farm for this bastard, but there is no door.

"These military households first promised them to let them go after the autumn harvest, and when the autumn harvest came, they would find some reasons for them to not be able to leave." Yang Jingtang's voice was full of resentment, which made Wang Lushan's body tremble.

"Yes, sir."

"Furthermore, I said to Master He that this matter cannot be let go, if the tenants who have not expired are gone. The other tenants will do the same next time, and there will be no rules, and there will be no peace in this grange in the future. Yang Jingtang felt that it was just the autumn harvest that couldn't relieve his hatred, so he decided to burn a fire.

"Yes, sir, the little one will rush back." Wang Lushan kowtowed.

"Slow. Tell Master He, find more people, not only our two tenants who have military households, but also other large families, and besides, if this gang of soldiers and ruffians make trouble, they will go to Wendeng County to sue the official, Wendeng County Commander is Wenchen, but he is extorted by Denglaiwei for money and food every year. The most resentful military household generals, begging in Wendeng County, these military households are not good. Yang Jingtang said bitterly.

Wang Lushan had goosebumps, he didn't know how the owner could be so resentful of such a Jinghaiwei military household.

Wang Lushan was just about to get up and leave, "Slow, don't pick up this matter, you know." "Yang Jingtang is still extremely jealous of the Zhao family's strong force.

As for whether the Zhao family can know, just kidding. I may not have known it at first, but if it happened to Wendeng County, Zhao Lie didn't know. Then the Zhao family is still not the natives of Denglai.

Yang Jingtang didn't know what means Zhao Lie, the military household who had returned to Jinghaiwei, to deal with it, and what he was most afraid of was Zhao Lie's violent counterattack, which ordinary people could not afford.

What's more, the family has always been at odds with the Zhao family, if the Zhao family knew that it was the Yang family who started to stir up trouble, the Zhao family's father and son might have gone too far.

Wang Lushan got up after answering solemnly. This time he was finally not stopped, Wang Lushan wiped his sweat, it was not easy.

Lu Quanfu and Deming were chatting in their house, and Lu Quanfu's mother-in-law was cooking for them.

"Brother Lu, your news is really accurate." Deming stared at Lu Quanfu and asked.

"Don't worry. Brother, this is what my eldest brother told my daughter-in-law, how is it wrong, even if the military households that have been removed from the military status can be proved by the neighbors of the year, they will be reinstated as long as the neighbors can prove it, and each household will be given 30 acres of arable land, and it can also be tax-exempt for three years, and the fourth year is only one of ten taxes. "The old Lu Meizi, who is in her early forties, twisted her thick beard and saw the beauty in her heart.

"There were two more neighbors in my family back then, and they were in a good place at the time, so I can definitely prove it, so I can also go back." Deming, who looked like a man with axles in his early thirties, got up excitedly and paced back and forth.

"That's not what I said, this new commander Zhao Lie Zhao is really the last official in the world, in the past, the generals used to change their methods to grab land from the military households, and Lord Zhao gave the land to the military households." Lu Quanfu squinted his eyes and sighed.

"However, Lao Lu, there are still more than two years left in this tenant contract, and the He Dong family can release people." Deming asked in a whisper.

"Alas, I said that where did you Dai Xiaoqi have the courage to join the bandits back then, if you don't let us go, we will flee back, and there will be no such shop in this village." Lu Quanfu said a little Deming.

"Brother Lu, it's because I'm tired and scared that I'm going to be this broken tenant and make ends meet." Deming remembered that his eyes were red back then.

"Deming, according to the contract, if you sign a tenant contract, you should keep the contract, but this time it is different, this is a division of land, if the owner of He collects 60% of the rent, and the other owners only collect 50% of the rent, I will not leave, after all, I have signed a tenant contract." Lu Quanfu shook his head and said.

"What Brother Lu said is that my father had no land at that time, and he farmed for thousands of households, and there was a flood, and there was no harvest, and thousands of households were free of rent at that time, and there was still no food at home, and my sister starved to death at that time, and my father died of exhaustion the next year." Deming burst into tears at this time, as if yesterday's nightmare had reappeared. "It's hard to live without my own land, otherwise, I wouldn't be a bandit."

"Alas, your family has no land, but my family has ten acres of paddy fields, more than 20 acres of dry fields, although it is not a good field, it can barely survive, and then when the drought occurs, there is no way to borrow money and pay taxes, the field is gone, I just die and have no face to see my father." Lu Quanfu's rough black face also left a few muddy tears.

"Yo, why are these two guys still crying?" Sister-in-law Lu, who came into the house with wild vegetables and fried cabbage outside, came into the house and said in surprise.

"Alas, it's embarrassing to always eat at my eldest brother's house." Deming wiped his face and said.

"Alas, you and the little bench are left in your house, how to start the fire, let's eat together." Lu Quanfu persuaded.

"Big brother, when will your family's Lu Hai, Lu Jiang, Lu Ting and the little bench come back." Deming asked as he took a bite of the mixed bread.

"It's going to take ten days, your sister-in-law and his brother's family also have a son and a daughter, who are two years older than those in my family, this can't be played together, let them play, don't worry, I'll let Lu Ting take good care of the little bench." Lao Lu ate a mouthful of wild vegetables.

"Alas, my family has been dead for nearly a year, and without your help, I really can't live this life." Deming sighed, if it weren't for the small bench of his four-year-old son, he would have left a long time ago, and this life was boring.

"Alas, they are all neighbors, let's help each other get by, besides, if the fields are divided, the good days will come." Old Lu's eyes sparkled.

The thought of being able to share the acres of land made Deming's spirit also shocked, and his spirit improved a lot.

In the middle of the afternoon, on the grain drying field of Hejiazhuang, Hu Mingyi, the chief housekeeper of the He family, looked at the more than 50 tenants below, "The master said, the tenant contract that has been set must come according to the tenant contract, and no one can leave if it is less than the age limit, otherwise, you will leave before the expiration date, and others will also go like this in the future, and there are no rules." ”

"Steward Hu, this is different, this time it is a division of land, after this village, there will be no more this shop, I hope that Master He is pitiful." Deming couldn't help but say.

"Oh, it turned out to be Deming," Hu Mingyi looked at Deming coldly, he hated Deming who dared to talk back to him, and there was a fierce light in his eyes, "You have always been an ignorant person, if it weren't for the soft-heartedness of the old man, he would have driven you out, and at this time, seeing that he could get a share of the acres is like picking a picker and running away, there is no door." ”

Hu Mingyi raised his eyes and looked at the ragged tenants one by one.

"Tell you, whoever dares to run away without permission, after being caught, he will be dealt with according to the fugitive, and be careful of the life of the dog you are waiting for." Hu Mingyi said, but his eyes were fixed on Deming. His vicious appearance and the more than a dozen fat and strong nursing homes behind him frightened more than 20 former Jinghai guard households.

At this time, there was silence on the barning floor.

Although the law of the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibits the proprietor from killing domestic servants and tenants, the Ming Dynasty has always had a strong family power, and even the magistrate is powerless in matters within each family, and such clauses exist in name only in many places.

A month ago, Master He was killed because a maid did not obey him, and finally gave the woman's family some money and food to end up privately.

Hu Mingyi's words were not all intimidation.

Hu Mingyi pouted proudly, "Okay, go back and live in peace, Master He only collects fifty percent of the rent when he arrives at the autumn harvest, compared to the owner who collects sixty percent of the rent, but he is a living Bodhisattva, so the proprietor is not satisfied, that is, he is too greedy, okay, let's disperse." ”

The people, especially the former military households, dared to be angry and silently dispersed.

"Qiao San, keep an eye on Deming, I always feel that something is wrong with this kid." Hu Mingyi stared at Deming's back and said.

"Butler, look at it." A stout man replied.

"Brother Lu, these bastards don't let people go," Dai Ming walked back with his head wilted.

"If you don't let you go, you have to go," Lu Quanfu whispered as he looked around carefully. "For the sake of the three children in the family, they have to leave, and with the acres of land, they also have hope in this life. Fortunately, the child is not here, so it's better to go, Daizi, what about you. ”

"If the eldest brother leaves, I will also leave, and I will be the only one at home who is afraid." Deming said ruthlessly, he had to fight for his small bench.

"Sneak away with your sister-in-law at night, and it won't be easy to do after tonight." Lu Quanfu whispered.

"Holo." Deming replied.

At the end of the evening, the weather cooled down.

The crooked door of the Lu family's adobe house opened secretly, Lu Quanfu poked his head out and looked secretly, there was no one nearby, Lu Quanfu and his mother-in-law walked to the adobe house next to it and knocked lightly on the door.

"Daizi, let's go." Lu Quanfu lowered his voice.

"Here we are." Deming opened the door and walked out. "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, you just take this thing with you."

Lao Lu's two people have a small bag on their bodies. "If you can go back to the guard and get the fields, there will be nothing by then."

Deming thought about it too, he turned around and opened his big baggage, only picked up a few taels of silver and a silver bracelet and put it in his arms.

"Let's go." (To be continued.) )
