"Huh?" The young man frowned, he waved his hand to keep his guard, if he really wanted to have both talents, then he couldn't say that he was going to kill.

"Hehe, rest assured, rest assured, I won't kill you, how can I get money for killing you, not only will I not kill you, but I will also give you work and fields, so that you will not starve to death!" The captain of the city gate over there said with a smile to Liu Mang and the others.

"Give us the field?" Young men are even more confused? This city gate lieutenant knew at a glance that he was uneasy and kind, he would give them the land so well?

"Lord, let's kill it." The man with the scar next to him said to the young man.

"No!" The young man shook his head, he tried not to do it if he could, because in any case, this was also considered "his own person", and killing his own person would not make the enemy laugh.

"Then, my lord, let's reveal our identities." The scar man built yì again.

"Rest easy." The reason why the young man didn't want to do it was because he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, and once his identity was exposed, he would have to go back even if he didn't want to go back to Shouchun.

What's more, the young man looked at the people around him, as well as the words of the captain of the city gate, a few key words, which made the young man think deeply, field? Head? Money? The young man seemed to have something in mind, but was not yet sure.

"General, let me arrange my insiders, and then go with the general." The young man said to the captain of the city gate over there.

"Go, go!" The captain of the city gate was still saving face, because he looked at the inner man that the young man over there had said. Although the face is not clear and is obscured by the cloth. But you can also see the skin tone clearly. Black and yellow, this look is only the appearance of a country woman, and it is not in the eyes of the Captain of his city gate at all. The ancients have always regarded white as beauty, and they did not have a healthy bronze, because only women from large families would live in a shallow manner, and such a woman would be white as long as she was not congenitally dark.

Those women from ordinary people's families who showed their heads would naturally be tanned by the sun in order to make a living, and they lost interest when they saw the complexion of this black oil.

"Husband. I'll go with you! Said the woman with the gauze covering on the side.

"You stay here! I'll go and I'll be back! With the two of them protecting me, what else can I do! The young man had arranged for the woman to follow the lieutenant at the city gate.

"General, where are we going?" The young man asked, as they were heading out of the city. After stopping on the road for a while, people joined the team one after another.

"Naturally, it's a good place to go!" The captain of the city gate was about to get his hands because he had money, and the young man was so cooperative, he was naturally happy, and his attitude was a little better.

Soon a large battalion appeared in front of the young man.

"Huh?" The scale of this large camp was large, but it was not a group of soldiers, but a group of ragged people. What kind of place is this?

"That's it! It's here! "The captain of the city gate got down from the horses, and Guo Yi took away the war horses of the young man and others and rode on the good war horses. This bad horse was in a good mood and let the city gate captain ride first.

"Yo, this isn't Captain Hao! What kind of wind blew Hao Duwei here? "This city gate is surnamed Hao. Celebrity, originally a land scoundrel, likes to wander in the city, causing trouble, and has been put into prison for a long time, but because he is familiar with some individuals from the Guo family, he was released again not long after being locked in, and later because Xinye City changed from Jingzhou to Yangzhou, so the original city gate guards were transferred back by Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Xinye naturally needs to be guarded again, so the Taishou master recruited troops and horses locally, This Hao Liu originally wanted to make a military salary and mixed life, so he joined the Xinye garrison, and it was not the turn of the Guo family to call the shots in Xinye.

The Guo family was originally just a small scholar clan in Xinye City, and the family property was not more than a thousand gold, and the only big official in the family was Guo Yi, the county lieutenant of a county under Xinye City, but because Xinye belonged to Yangzhou, many scholars in Jingzhou migrated away, after all, Liu Mang's original reputation was there, and there was no one left in Anhui City.

Therefore, even though Yangzhou and Jingzhou were allied at that time, most of the scholars still withdrew from Xinye and went to Jingzhou.

This Guo family is just a small scholar clan, and there was originally an official position of county lieutenant in Xinye, if he left Xinye, then where would anyone give him an official position in Jingzhou, so he could only stay in Xinye and wait for the arrangement of the new master.

It can be regarded as the luck of the Guo family's ancestral tomb that smoked, and most of the scholars left Xinye, leaving a big power vacuum for Xinye.

Xinye Taishou Liu Qi asked to send officials like Yangzhou Shouchun, but the officials in Yangzhou Xu Shu are not enough in Yangzhou, where can he send people to fill Xinye, so Liu Qi can only be taller among the short, this Guo family has gone up the grade, from a small county lieutenant to the current captain in Xinye City, the Guo family is also worth doubled, this Hao Liu is because he has a little relationship with the Guo family.

Only then did he change from a ruffian hooligan to a city gate captain, and his identity changed, but the nature of this ruffian has not changed.

"Where is the wind, naturally I will send you money to Lao Xu!" For such an official who is younger than his official position Hao Liu, Hao Liu is still respectful, because everyone is seeking wealth, isn't it.

"How much is this time?" Lao Xu was also very happy to see Hao Liu, and it was naturally comfortable for someone to send money.

"There are thirty-two people in total, and you have to get two percent of the old rules!" Hao Liuliu got off his horse and pointed to the thirty-two men behind him.

"Twenty percent? Oh, Hao Duwei, this can't be done! This old Xu shook his head.

"Didn't it all go into two in the past!" Hao Liu frowned and said, two layers are not low, one person has three acres of land, and thirty-two people are ninety-six acres of land, these two achievements are almost twenty acres of land, which is already a lot. This is twenty acres of fertile land, which is a lot of gold.

"The past can be compared to the present!" This old Xu pursed his lips and said. Before that, two percent or even one percent of Lao Xu did it. That's because Xinye and Jingzhou are too close, when Jingzhou and Yangzhou are at odds with each other, where does anyone want this Xinye's field, even if the good land is not valuable, for fear that Jingzhou, which is across the river, will come over, so naturally two or even one percent can be.

But now that the Yangzhou army has won the position of the hegemon of the Yangtze River in a battle, how can Jingzhou fight across the river now that it is too late to protect itself, so these two achievements cannot be said.

"Captain Hao. You know, we're risking our heads! This old Xu continued to speak.

"Alright, alright, tell me how much!" Hao Liu is very dissatisfied, the risk of killing his head? If you were afraid, why did you go earlier, if you want to kill, you should have cut a thousand knives a long time ago, and it won't be bad this time.

"That's the number!" Lao Xu smiled and stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty percent, hehe, Lao Xu. You go grab it! Hao Liu laughed angrily, fifty percent. If he Lao Xu took fifty percent, he Hao Liu drank the northwest wind.

"I can't help that!" Lao Xu said to Hao Liu.

"Lao Xu, we have all been so many times, fifty percent, this is impossible! I don't believe that you Lao Xu will have a business and not do it! Let's do it in half! ”

"Forty and a half!" Lao Xu also lowered a plus, Hao Liu is right, why not do business if you have it, he Lao Xu and money do not rush.

"Sancheng!" Hao Liu gritted his teeth and added it again.

"Forty percent!" Lao Xu also lowered his requirements.

"Lao Xu, thirty and a half, if there are more, then this business will not be done." Hao Liu settled down and said, if it is higher than thirty and a half, he Hao Liu will really not make much, rather than taking the risk of killing his head, it is better not to do it, but cutting off people's wealth is like killing his parents, Hao Liu's eyes have been slightly dissatisfied, you Lao Xu cut off my financial route, and he Hao Liu naturally has a way to curb Lao Xu.

"Okay, good, good, for the sake of your Captain Hao, it's three and a half percent!" Lao Xu is not a bad person, he knows what it means to be a person who is not enough to achieve things and more than to lose, Hao Liu is such a character, if you want to rely on him to do things, then it is basically impossible, but if he wants to spoil your things, he can think of ways to corrupt it.

Therefore, Lao Xu didn't want to offend Hao Liu too much, and he also had to make money.

"Thirty-two people! Lao Xu, you can take a good look! Come on, come on, come on, come up to General Ben! Hao Liu shouted to the people under him.

The young man looked at the ragged people around him, all of them with dull eyes, and walked towards Lao Xu under the push of the soldiers under Hao Liu's hands.

In front of Lao Xu was a desk, on which there were some books and papers, and a pen stained with ink.

"What's your name, where are you?" Lao Xu opened a blank piece of paper and asked the first people to arrive.

"Villain, dog leftover, Yuzhou people!" As soon as Lao Xu asked this side and answered, Lao Xu wrote the word dog left on the paper, and the people of Yuzhou, looked at the dog leftover and wrote a sentence, the black mole eyes under the lower part of the person's lips are big and godless, this is the current appearance of the dog leftover.

For the name of dog leftover, Lao Xu has long been used to it, in the troubled times, human life is lowly, often not enough to eat or die in the war, so in order to let their descendants live, so they have some ugly names such as dog eggs, dog leftovers and the like just to think about the name, cheap, a little bit can make God hang the curtain and not take him to heaven (that is, dead).

The young man wanted to ask something, but no one answered him, and the people around the young man were all blinded.

Soon it was in front of the young man.

"What's your name?" Lao Xu asked.

"Me, me!" The young man hesitated for a moment, and after such a delay, Lao Xu couldn't help but raise his head, "What is your name?" ”

"My name is yes! My surname is Han, and I am famous. The young man said to this old Xu.

"Han Yang?" Lao Xu couldn't help but look at it twice, generally speaking, the people are cheap, especially these homeless people, there are a lot of dogs and dogs, and suddenly a normal one appeared, Lao Xu is a little unaccustomed. However, Lao Xu still wrote Han Yang, a person from Xuzhou.

"The latter one!"

"My surname is Guan Minghai! It is also a person from Xuzhou."

"My name is Zhou Cang! With them! Soon most of the people were registered, and under the command of Lao Xu, these individuals were put into the battalion. And there were a multitude of people in the midst of the camp. Count the thousands.

"Another batch!" Watch the young man wait for the others to enter. The people who had been in the camp for a long time couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at the young man and the others, not knowing whether to regret or gloat, or to sympathize with each other.

"Hey, I said uncle, what the hell is going on, why are there so many people in this camp?" The young man took advantage of the fact that Lao Xu was still registering the staff, and seized the opportunity to ask a citizen who had already been in the camp for a long time.

"Big brother, don't call me uncle. I'm not a few years older than you! It's only twenty and seven years old," said the young man.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The young man was a little embarrassed, he was really not an uncle at this age, but he was a little anxious, but the young man couldn't take care of it anymore. "What's going on here, that old Xu? And these people! ”

"Don't you know you're here? That Lord Xu is here to divide the fertile land for you.! The "uncle" explained.

"Divide the fertile land?"

"You are not from other places, as long as you enter the boundary of Yangzhou, you can declare to the Yangzhou government with your head to obtain fertile land! One is three acres of land. The uncle went on to speak, and the young man knew what a human head was.

"Yes!" The young man nodded, he remembered that there was such a thing. In order to be able to attract more people into Yangzhou. Yangzhou originally because of the wanton profligacy of his cheap father-in-law, Yuan Shu, has long since changed from a rich place to a place where there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms. Therefore, in order to fill the vacancy of the people, he issued various policies to welcome the displaced people into Yangzhou, one of whom can be exchanged for three acres of land, and can also have thirty percent of the tax, which is better than all the states in the world. Over the years, Yangzhou has regained its popularity.

"One person has three acres of land, and you only need to pay thirty percent of the tax!" The man's mouth was full of longing. But he shook his head again, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

"Huh?" Looking at this uncle's appearance, the young man couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?" Is 30% tax too much? The young man was a little puzzled, he didn't know much about taxes on agriculture, because in his time, not only did the peasants not need to pay taxes, but the state subsidized them. The 30 percent figure he gave was based on other states.

"Many? Hehe, of course not much! Where in this world is there such a great benefit! Give everyone three acres of fertile land! ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"The key question is, where can our people get these three acres of fertile land and thirty percent of the taxes!" The uncle shook his head, "You were also deceived!" Ay! The uncle looked at the young man and the others with a look of pity.

"I have long known that His Royal Highness the King of Shu can have such a good heart. It's all a lie! ”

"How do you talk!" The man with the scar next to him was a little angry.

"Get out of the way!" Guan Hai's appearance really startled the uncle, but when he heard the young man's scolding, the scarred man left, and the uncle patted his chest, "What a murder!" Not all of us are the same! ”

"How did His Royal Highness the King of Shu deceive people. Brother Tai can talk about it! The young man continued.

"What do you need to say? You'll find out right away. The uncle pouted.

"Come, come, come! Come here. Hao Liu, who was over there, hadn't left yet, and shouted loudly.

"Shouting you!" The uncle said to the young man and the others.

"Let's take a look!" The young man walked over.

"Good news for you." This Hao Liu said to the thirty-two men he had just sent, "From today on, you are the people of our Yangzhou." ”

The young man was a little awkward to hear this.

"You listen to the generosity of our His Royal Highness the King of Shu, now everyone has three acres of fertile land!" This Hao Liu continued to speak.

Hearing Hao Liu say this, the eyes of the people who were originally dull-eyed suddenly lit up, what the people want most is not land, with land can they grow crops to fill their stomachs and not let themselves starve to death.

"Of course, these three acres of land are not for you! It's lent to you. That Hao Liu continued to say loudly.

"Lending?" The young man thought for a moment.

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the uncle's mouth.

"You also know the tax of our Yangzhou, and the tax of Sancheng, the tax of Sancheng! As long as you farm well, you can naturally eat enough! There was even surplus food to exchange for some money to buy things for the family. ”

Now it seems that an acre of fertile land can produce 300 to 400 catties of grain is already considered a bumper harvest, if you pay 30 percent of the tax, then you can receive 210 catties of grain, and three acres of land is more than 600, enough to eat.

"Come on, come on, as long as you sign this thing, you can have a field to plant." Over there, Hao Liu said to everyone: "Lao Xu, take something!" ”

That old Xu also nodded, and quickly asked people to take out dozens of pieces of straw paper from the tent over there.

"One copy per person, this is your household registration, as long as you press your palm print on it, you will be our people in Yangzhou from now on." The soldiers and horses brought by Hao Liu distributed the papers.

The young man also got a copy, and when he opened it, he finally knew why Hao Liu said that the field was rented.

Because what is written on this paper is not a household registration at all, the household registration should be what was recorded by Lao Xu's subordinates before, and now the things in the hands of young men and others are completely a deed of sale. The young man took out the paper from Scarface's and the strong man's hand, and the thing on it was basically the same, except that the name should have moved a little. turned Zhou Cang into Guan Hai, and Li Er replaced him with Wang Er Mazi.

What is written on it is that he is willing to sell the three acres of fertile land in his hand to Hao Liu, at a price of 5,000 yuan, and the text of renting the Hao family's field after the disaster, which is written on it is to hand over 30% of the field to the Hao family in the first year, and the second year is to add 10% every other year, until 60%.

"Huh!" The young man looked at this paper and laughed, it was really a policy and a countermeasure, he relied on this three-percent tax and three-three policies to attract people to come to Yangzhou to settle down, but he didn't expect someone to hit this idea.

This Hao Liu is really smart, he didn't directly take it by force, but relied on this deed of sale to get the land, even if someone found it in the future, he can shirk it, after all, I bought it with money, this is written in black and white, you have pressed your handprint, there can be a fake, he Hao Liu did not force you, the first year of the three-percent tax makes you hungry for sweetness, when you first came to Yangzhou, it was all poor and barefoot, Hao Liu was also afraid of these homeless riots, so the first year's Tianfu was three-percent.

Let you taste the sweetness, the second year Zhang Yicheng, at this time you can't walk away at will, one more layer of taxes will be one more, or be able to eat enough, in the third year, it rose to fifty percent, not full, but you can also have a full day, to the fourth year to sixty percent, even more not full, but you will not starve to death, plus you have been in Yangzhou for a long time in the past few years, you have changed from barefoot to shoeed, with a little family business, you will directly abandon all of it! Young men have seen too many people in this world, these people really belong to the Xiaoqiang type, very patient, as long as you don't go too far, don't force them to death, they can really endure it Absolutely docile like a lamb diligently eating grass, waiting to be slaughtered by you.

This Hao Liu and Lao Xu have grasped this characteristic, and they are very popular in Yangzhou's big policy, don't underestimate these three acres of land, one person is three acres of land, and there are thousands of people in this camp, this is thousands of acres of fertile land, which is not a small value.

"You, aren't you selling the title deed!" Among the thirty-two people, there were other literate people besides the young man, and the young man couldn't help but turn his head. (To be continued......)
