In a ruined temple outside Xianggang Town, Yingde County, more than a dozen ragged men were watching young people pacing in the temple, their eyes full of despair and struggle.

"There are officials everywhere, where should we go?"

"Brother Deng, turn yourself in, let's intercede for you, how can I keep you alive"

"The officials of this dynasty are always more disciplined than Kangxi, and there are also bureau directors and little imperial history to help us poor people speak......"

The silence didn't last long, and the men persuaded one after another that these people were the tenants headed by Deng Xiaotian. After Qujiang got in and out of the fate, he fled south in a hurry, and also grabbed a patrol shop, and escaped to Yingde Xianggang by relying on a familiar mountain road, but the guards and ** came from all sides, where to go next, even Deng Xiaotian lost his square inch.

Hearing these words from his companion, he roared angrily: "The official mansion and the rich lord in the world are all one family!" How is it possible to speak for us poor people!? You have all forgotten, so why don't He Xun bolts collude with Master Zhong and come to us for trouble in three days!? ”

After a few days of eating and sleeping in the open, hunger and thirst, and people's hearts were already in turmoil, Deng Xiaotian's words finally detonated everyone's anger. Someone said angrily: "The government and the rich lord are one family, but after all, we still have to talk about the rules!" Why didn't the rest of our village suffer so many crimes? Isn't it just that you can still find a price if you sell your land, pushing everyone not to go to the government to pass the deed? ”

Another person also said: "Yes, anyway, the name of Natian is still in our hands, go to Fazheng, and even go to the director of our village, isn't it also a way to help deal with that Zhong master, you have to say that they are not trustworthy, and they will sell us."

Deng Xiaotian almost exploded his lungs: "Why is it my business again!?" Who didn't want to go as soon as they heard that they were going to the government to pass the deed and pay 5 cents of the deed money? Who was the first to open his mouth to find a price when he lost money in business? ”

Someone jumped up and said, "But no one wants to make a fuss!" Why do you have to go with a musket!? ”

There was a lot of noise in the temple, and then it was interrupted by an exclamation: "The official is here!" ”

Deng Xiaotian waved his hand: "Go!" To the east is a mountain road, so there's still a chance to get rid of it! ”

But no one responded, and after a while, everyone handed over the waist knife and food, and one said: "Brother Deng, we don't want to run away, we can't get the death penalty if we don't kill people." But we are not shameless villains, we will never sell your deeds, you can leave quickly......"

Deng Xiaotian threw up on the ground. Spit, hurriedly turned away.

Deng Xiaotian thinks that this world is too bad, if it is still how good Kangxi is, what does it matter if he doesn't braid? The key is to have food to eat.

In the years of Kangxi, he relied on a few acres of sand fields from his own house to plant more than ten acres of paddy fields, and his life was still passable.

But in these holy years, his life was obviously not easy, because he could only grow rice and rice. However, at this time in Guangdong, there was Hunan rice in the north, Guangxi rice in the west, and Nanyang rice was also transported like a mountain, and the price of grain fell again and again, and the good Qujiang rice was sold for 500 wen per stone.

If it's just that the price of grain has fallen, it's nothing, anyway, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and cotton and linen are all falling, and the price increase is a rare thing that has nothing to do with their people. In the past, these small people didn't touch much silver, and directly exchanged food for other things, and they could live their lives.

The problem is that the current government collects taxes and collects money, not grain and rice, although the county often closes the position and collects local tax grain at a price of 600 wen, but the quota is limited, and the habit of those warehouse officials to press the scale has not changed, forcing them to only find grain merchants to sell grain, and it is thankful that they can sell it for 400 wen.

After talking about the money and grain, the days are still more prosperous than Kangxi's, but the landlords have raised the land rent, and they can't save the remaining money at hand. People with skills and skills in other villages have all started up, and as soon as the brick houses enter, they naturally can't look past them. Let's plant other fields, they don't know much, and they are afraid that they will be set by the government to have higher land silver, so they have sold their fields one after another, and they have also learned to turn up business, of course, they will lose money.

It's all the fault of this court, and it's all the merchant's ......

Deng Xiaotian summed up his experience and thought so.

"This imperial court...... It's bad! ”

Escaped to the Buddha net, met a group of bandits in the mountains, relying on the musket waist knife on his body, plus his experience, Deng Xiaotian also joined the gang, and asked them why they fell into the grass, and the leader of the bandits scolded hatefully. ,

It turns out that these dozen or so thieves were originally military households in the green camp, and it is said that the new dynasty has appeased the green camp a lot, leaving a lot of post guards, ** and government tolerances, and the salary is twice as much as usual, and the green camp is all locals, so how can it not fall into the grass.

After inquiring carefully, I learned that these people were originally very open in the Buddhist net, and they were carrying a lot of cases. The new dynasty was erected, and the legal net was meticulous, and people like them were not accustomed to that kind of well-behaved life, and they were afraid that the cases of the past would be exposed by the locals, so they simply fled to the mountains and engaged in the business of cutting paths. I didn't dare to cut the avenue, so I had to guard the remote mountain road and live around.

"Why don't you go to the South Seas? It's twenty acres of paddy fields......"

Deng Xiaotian had been messing with these bandits for a few days, and stopped a merchant on the mountain road, who was not afraid at all, but persuaded them to be a gang of bandits.

"You can't trust a merchant!"

Deng Xiaotian persuaded the bandits, but the bandit leader had other ideas, hearing that the businessman could still help solve the identity problem, and there would be no government to stay in trouble all the way, and the bandits were all moved.

"They must have been sold by merchants......"

Deng Xiaotian fled, this court is the court of merchants, how can he still trust merchants? Besides, the place in Nanyang, a wild place, whether or not you can survive is a question, and it is really a dream to think about living.

He was going to go to the distant relatives of Chaozhou, and continued to the south from the Buddhist net, people came and went like a tide, and there were too many loopholes in the investigation of the guards and **, so he avoided it, and went all the way to Dongguan. When you get here, it's unlikely that you'll be caught, because there are so many people here. When Deng Xiaotian first entered Dongguan, he felt that the entire Guangdong people were crowded into the city.

Dizzy, his waist bag was also touched, so he had to follow the guidance of passers-by and went to "Liji, looking for a job, and was picked by a wooden company to be a husband."

The job is to lay the carpenter's hands, all manual work, one or two or eight dollars of silver a month, and a salary in ten years. It sounded quite high, Deng Xiaotian was initially very happy, and the secret path could earn some silver here.

Unexpectedly, after the first ten years, the owner settled accounts with him, food and housing, plus work clothes, and the deduction of the rules, he only got a few dozen dollars. This made Deng Xiaotian once again firm in his understanding that businessmen are all sinners full of evil. He worked seven or eight hours a day, slept in a warehouse crowded together with dozens of people in a pigsty, and ate thick porridge and pickles, and didn't treat him as a human servant at all. You must know that in the township, working as a long-term worker for the landlord is also what the landlord eats, they can eat for a long time, and even add meat on the tenth day. Not to mention that there are no cumbersome rules to bet on.

He decided not to do it and leave, but the owner grabbed him and said that you signed a long-term deed, and if you don't do it, you can pay three times the monthly money according to the provisions on the deed.

Deng Xiaotian was dumbfounded, he also knew this deed, but he didn't work for anyone at all, everyone couldn't get along, how could there be any work and lose money?

The owner said that our wood industry is doing fine work, and many doorways are related to "patents, you will run away after ten years in my work, who knows if you are specifically here to steal the teacher?" For this, I only had to make a contract at the beginning, and I had to work for at least a year. If you want to break the deed, then go to the class room!

Deng Xiaotian was frightened, and he couldn't get it from the government, so he had to continue working under the supervision of the wooden guards.

But a few days later, a well-meaning worker told him that he had been deceived by the owner, and that a person like him who was paid every day was only a short-term worker, and there was no need to make any long-term contracts.

Deng Xiaotian was furious, the crows in the world were really black, he wanted to knock down the guards, but he left, but he felt that it couldn't be too cheap for the owner, so he wanted to settle accounts with the owner. The co-workers told him that he could ask the Xijia Bank to help him get justice for this matter, and although most of the Xijia Xing were technicians, they always had to help the workers talk.

When they found the workers of Xijiaxing, the gang was hotly discussing the contract of the chief technician under the Dongjia Lianxing of Dongguan Wood Bank. The proprietor of the wood shop was worried about the soaring cost of timber and was squeezing the expenses everywhere, so he turned his brain to the mechanics of the wood shop.

Most of the mechanics of the wood line have been learned in the Dongguan Machinery School, they have the ability to learn, the wood shop gives them a lot of wages, and it has to rise every year, and the wood shop has to be a part of the wood line at every turn, and the owner of the wood shop loves and hates them.

The proprietors of the wood shop joined forces to set restrictions for the craftsmen, such as whether the wages could be increased only once every three years, and they also wanted to stipulate that if the mechanic who had a conflict with the proprietors left this wood shop, other wood shops could no longer hire him. If the mechanics wanted to start their own carpentry shops, the proprietors joined forces with the merchants to boycott it. ,

Of course, Deng Xiaotian did not know this background, and he infected Xijiaxing with his anger and full fighting spirit. Xijiaxing decided to go all out to support Deng Xiaotian and lead the laborers to make trouble, of course, this matter has nothing to do with their technicians......

Deng Xiaotian, who didn't know that he had been used as a knife, instigated his co-workers to storm the wooden shop, smashed and looted and burned, causing the largest case of people's troubles under the administration of the Tianyan Mansion in July, more than a dozen wooden shops were destroyed, and dozens of people were killed and injured. And Deng Xiaotian's details were finally found out.

"Deng Xiaotian, you can't escape!"

In the wasteland outside Dongguan, Deng Xiaotian, who was surrounded by hundreds of **, was full of crazy anger in his eyes.

"I don't want to run away either! This court is a lie! What civil covenant, what monarchy constitution, all are deceitful! ”

At this time, Deng Xiaotian already knew a lot of current affairs, and the "good emperor" that everyone often talked about in his mouth was a big liar in his opinion.

"The old man is against this court!"

He lit a Tai Chi group dragon flag, it was morning at this moment, and behind him, there were countless spectators, among which there were many newspaper fast players holding small books and hard pens.

A month after the Qujiang Naozu case, Deng Xiaotian was finally arrested, but at this time he had another Dongguan wooden case. In the report of "Righteousness", Deng Xiaotian is a victim of the new dynasty's governance, and in the sensational text of "The Right Path", Deng Xiaotian is a hero who dares to resist all evil policies.

Huangpu Wuya Palace, Yan Sanniang hurriedly walked into the grass hall, she was dressed in a strong suit, her cheeks were showing a layer of pink halo, both the qi and blood surging when she practiced boxing just now, and the anger and anxiety that arose from her heart, and she also held a few newspapers in her hand, and you could see the word "rebellion, two words" on each copy.

Before he entered the grass hall, he heard Li Xian talking: "It's too late, the heat is insufficient, and ......the gate has to be opened." ）
