Chapter 661 The People's Hearts Are Turned Back

When I was settling accounts yesterday, I missed the four imperial doctors who joined this battle, and I was guilty of sin! Thank you for the reminder!

…………………………………………

Shi En is a utilitarian who only recognizes money in his bones, and he is not a lurker with firm beliefs like "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp". So much so that his news came and went, and it was destined that this person could only be the icing on the cake, and it was difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

However, Liangshan has always adhered to the principle of walking on multiple legs and never puts all his eggs in one basket. Ji Ji, who temporarily stayed in the Jiangnan branch of Liangshan, had already received an order from the general village to inquire about the news, and was running at full strength at this time, and even the hidden line of Deng Yuanjue, who had a lot of energy in Jiangnan, was used.

Yes, although there is no news of Gao Yu's partial division for the time being, Wang Lun is not in a hurry, Chao Gai will leave two days late, what can he delay? The deployment of the imperial court's troops in Jiangnan has always been weak, and Wang Lun ordered Ji Ji to temporarily stop in advance, so at this time, the biggest threat to Siming Mountain was the local snake Fang La, but Wang Lun couldn't think of a reason for Fang La to turn his face against him.

After all, everyone is an anti-imperial court mountain, and they have a natural ally color, he doesn't believe that before overturning the Zhao family's table, Fang La is impatient to point the finger at Liangshan. It's good that my hoe is just raised high now, and I haven't dug much yet!

In the gap of waiting for news, Wang Lun did not have nothing to do, but there were too many things, and the whole mountain was running at full capacity, which was even busier than when Gao Yu was in Yunzhou, and even the ten battalions of soldiers and horses under Chao Gai who were preparing to go to Jiangnan did not rest.

At this time, the land of Qilu revolved around Gao Yu to give the head, and the big news of the fiasco of the official army was already quietly fermenting.

……

"Owner, I want to take my whole family to visit my father-in-law's house today, and I don't leave anyone at home. Don't I still owe the family two hundred catties of grain, my family's deed is placed in my hand, I can rest assured, I am also at ease! ”

A tenant in his thirties knocked on the door of the owner's house, took out an object from his bosom that had been carefully wrapped in several layers, and handed it over with a blank eye.

The old man, who was called the owner, didn't accept the deed, but just sighed, looked a little lost, and said: "Jiacai, are you going to vote for that Liangshanbo?" ”

"Uncle, don't you dare to say that! It reached the ears of the government. This is a great sin of rebellion! The middle-aged village man who called for talent was taken aback and quickly denied it.

"If you don't vote for Liangshan, you are guilty of just going to your relatives and pressing the deed on your uncle?" The old owner smiled bitterly and said, "In just these two days, I have received five or seven deeds like yours!" What time of year is it, and what relatives are all gone! Uncle is old, but he hasn't reached the point of being old and confused! ”

Jia Cai lowered his head and was silent for a while. In the end, he insisted: "Uncle, I really didn't go to Liangshan, I really just went to join my relatives, and I was homesick for my family...... I still accept this deed. I don't have anyone at home, so help me take care of it, okay? ”

"Jiacai, I'll leave you. I also gave the house to my uncle, and my uncle can't harm you! But ......" The old man looked quite enlightened, and did not change his face and intimidate his tenants at this time. Just kind words to persuade him:

"Jiacai, you are also the most assertive among these people in our village, why did you think of taking that road? I owe my family food, and I didn't force you with a knife, and it's not that I can't slow down! But if you take your family and leave this village, you won't be able to go back! Isn't your little girl still eating milk, don't you think about it? ”

Seeing that his excuse was for the owner to see through, he couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, looked up at the elder who was called "uncle" by himself, and said: "The owner, I know that Kai is different from the owner of the next village, and I have always been kind to our family. Now the annual harvest is only 50% rent, which is just as good as the former cattle tenants (tenants who own their own cattle). At present, we want to say that we are living better than before, but the owner, we have always had less land and more people in Zizhou, and the fields are really not enough to plant! Now my father's body is no longer in the bones, the baby is also small, my family is tired and tired, but I always say that I can't see a little light, I really want them to live a good life for a few days! ”

This man is honest and sincere, but he is also a little smart, obviously the rent of several surrounding state capitals has been reduced to fifty percent, but he uses this to compliment the owner in front of him.

"Didn't I always see you take your father and mother to see a doctor in Liangshanbo?" The old club still wanted to keep him, so he looked left and right nervously, lowered his tone, and said in his heart:

"Son, you listen to me tell you, you can go and see if they do free clinics, and you will continue when they apply medicine, but don't put yourself in it! Don't look at the fact that they have now defeated the army of the imperial court, the huge imperial court is vegetarian? They Liangshan always have such a limelight, it's rare to be in the limelight for a long time! Nor do you see who they killed? Gao Yu! That's the captain of the army in front of the official family, they say kill if they say kill, they don't blink an eye, it's just too dead! Don't forget that the rafters always rot first! Listen to uncle, go back first! I'll give you the arrears slowly, this time is not interest, ha! ”

To tell the truth, since the news of the defeat of the official army in Liangshanbo came, the tenants in the village were a little restless. This person is not only the biggest landlord in the village, but also the village's Baozheng, and he is very vigilant against this kind of movement, and he knows very well that once the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to manage. Not to mention that for the sake of the court, from your own point of view, if the tenants run out, who will plant the land?

Jiacai lowered his head and didn't speak, the old boss thought that he had persuaded him, but he didn't know that Jiacai had other ideas in his heart.

It turned out that when Liangshan broke the city of Zizhou a few months ago, he also sent people down to the county seat to mobilize, and everyone heard that the imperial court had raised 130,000 heavenly soldiers to come to conquer Liangshan, thinking that Liangshan Bodu could not resist this catastrophe, because many people were afraid of disaster, and even the imperial court grain sent by Liangshan did not dare to receive it, for fear of getting into trouble, let alone leaving with Liangshan.

Because of this incident, Sun An, who thought that he was unfavorable for mobilization, also specifically pleaded guilty in front of Wang Lun, after all, this was his head cannon, and he became a squib.

However, who would have expected that this earth-shattering army of more than 100,000 would collapse, and even the high-ranking soldiers who brought disaster to the country and the people were killed. Then all kinds of news about Liangshanbo, in this Qilu land spread far and wide, after the spread of gossip, and finally quite mythical, the white-clothed Xiushi Wang Lun became the Tiangang star sent down by God who was dissatisfied with Zhao's plaything, and there were one hundred single seven stars and teeth around him, and so on. Anyway, all kinds of theories are spread to be divine.

Among the people who gave up the opportunity to send grain to Liangshan last time, the family was counted as one, and when they heard the news later, they couldn't wait to regret their intestines. The proprietor said that he had knowledge, but he was ruined by the insight that "the thieves will definitely not be able to defeat the court" and "the court will definitely settle accounts after the autumn".

"Thank you for your kindness, host! I'm gone now. Not only can I let my parents, wife and children live a comfortable life for two days, but I can also move some fields for other villagers in our village, so that they can rent a few more acres here in the owner's house...... "Although he is not old, he has been oppressed by life too early, so that the middle-aged tenant whose gray hair has quietly climbed up to his sideburns said this, bowed to the old owner, and held his own deed with both hands: "Please also take care of the old man,!" ”

"Boss, boss! The family tree is here. It is said that the debt is being repaid! ”

The proprietor was stunned when he heard this, signaled that the family was not busy, and immediately took a few steps outside, and sure enough, he saw his family walking into the inner hall with a smiling old woman on his face. The old boss beckoned: "His aunt, sit down for a while!" Little four, pour tea for your aunt! ”

"I'm not busy with the owner, I'm here to write off the account!" The peasants are kind. Before the old woman could finish speaking, she took out a large ingot of silver from her bosom and put it on the table. He said with confidence: "I borrowed grain from the owner, but I didn't have food to pay back, so I took the silver." What price is on the market at the moment, you can deduct it directly! ”

The old proprietor had sharp eyes, and he knew it at a glance, and secretly said that this was the official system of five taels of pure silver, and he was not busy settling accounts at the moment, but was surprised: "His aunt, your family has made a fortune?!" ”

Everyone lives in the same village, who is poor and who is rich? This destitute family suddenly took out a silver ingot of five taels, abnormal, too abnormal!

Jiacai's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Auntie, Jiashu heard that he left his relatives a few months ago, and he didn't see him back, why did he bring back such a big ingot of silver so quickly?" This relative is not a rich man! "Jiacai and Jiashu are the same generation, and they are a few years older than him, but this tree has been cowardly since he was a child, and Jiacai is cautious, and he doesn't have a lot of fun.

The old woman kept smiling when she came in, and her face changed when she heard Jiacai's words, and she said: "It's not a rich man, the family is okay!" It's just that Qingzhou people are generous, and he sees that I am sincere, so he left him as a helper, which is an advance salary! The owner, you still have to give me the silver, I still have something to do! ”

Usury is an important means for landlords to annex land and accumulate wealth, and it is naturally good for someone to repay the money, although there are doubts, the owner still personally went down to take the broken silver, turned around and settled the account with the third aunt, and burned the IOU in front of the borrower, the third aunt took the broken silver, put it in her arms, and said: "The owner I can still trust!" He said hello to his family again and went back.

Jiacai didn't have the heart to stay for a long time at this time, put the deed on the table, and said: "Owner, I'll leave here, take care!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the owner sighed in his heart that the general situation had changed, and said: "Child, when you get there, if it is not like that, you will come back, and your ancestral house, Uncle will still leave it to you!" ”

The owner's very humane approach was very touching, and he bowed again, and then turned around and left.

As soon as he came home, the children and parents of the Hun family had already packed up, and all the valuable things in the family were brought with them, and the family did not say anything, but stepped forward to take the heaviest bedding and carried it on his back.

Except for the children who were waiting to be fed, the adults kept praying in their hearts, just begging the king of Liangshan not to coax them, the peasants who had nothing to do.

"Dad, isn't that a family tree?"

Coincidentally, after leaving the village, the family saw the third aunt's family who had just repaid the money on the Dongjiazhuang at a glance, and saw that they were also big bags and small bags, walking towards the east path.

"His third aunt, where are you going?" Jiacai's mother shouted loudly, and although she was only in her early fifties, wrinkles crawled all over her forehead.

The third aunt looked back and found that it was a family, although her face was a little embarrassed, she still said honestly: "Is it his aunt?" We went to our son, and now he is mixed up, and he will take our family over! Then he said, "Auntie, where are you going?" ”

"Third aunt, when we go to Qingzhou, we are also relatives, why don't we go together?" Family talent.

"It's okay, this soldier is in chaos, be a companion all the way!" An old man over there agreed, and the family stopped, waiting for the family to catch up, and rushed to Qingzhou while teasing the daughter of the family.

Seeing that these two families had been walking together for most of the day, and the sun was about to set, these nine people walked to the edge of a fork in the road, and overheard the third aunt say: "The family is just a mother, our two families are going to separate here, and we are going to go south!" ”

Seeing this, the talented mother hurriedly stepped forward to take her own package from the third aunt and the two daughters, and thanked: "You see that the two of us are useless, and you have to help carry the burden of my family!" ”

"Don't worry, the folks in the big hometown, what is this matter!" The third aunt's straightforward words were mixed with a hint of reluctance.

The talented mother also has something in her heart, but she can't say it clearly, and she is about to be separated from her old neighbors, maybe she won't see it in her life, and tears drip down.

The family was afraid that something would happen, so they finally persuaded them to leave, and the two families separated. Seeing that the family had just gone away, the eldest daughter of the third aunt said: "Mother, we are on the same path with them, why do you want to diverge away?" ”

"Silly girl, your mother did the right thing, we went to Erlong Mountain, and we lost our heads, you have to shout when you see someone?" The father opened his mouth and said, "Just take the path!" I have walked this road, although it is a little detoured, but if you walk fast, you can get to Erlong Mountain in half an hour! When I see your brother at that time, don't be entangled, what is there in their cottage...... Anyway, you can't mess around and delay him, he's doing well now! ”

"What 'what', that's called discipline! Silly! The third aunt said disdainfully, and when she thought of her son, her mood suddenly improved a lot.

"Mother, you said that my brother brought the words back, is it really that good on the mountain? Can you give cattle money, and give our family a hundred acres of land for nothing? The eldest daughter asked.

"Others may coax us, but your brother can coax us? He was born to me, and he dared to coax me to tell your father to break his legs! The third aunt spoke seriously, but her expression was very proud.

"But where will our land be divided? If only it could be in our village! The youngest daughter was a little reluctant.

"Where there is a field, there is a home! A hundred acres of land, I can't even dream of it! The child's father sighed.

"Didn't I say it just now, the junior who brought the words said, this is disciplined, don't let it talk nonsense! Anyway, I believe that our trees will not coax us! Ni, as long as we have land, let's recruit a son-in-law and let you both stay in front of your father! ”

The third aunt didn't refute her man this time, with a smile on her face, just like this, the family of four laughed all the way, with a longing for a better life, and accelerated the pace of hurrying.

If you are in a good mood, the journey will be short. When they arrived at Erlong Mountain, they found that this name really had a source, and they saw that the mountains surrounded them and enveloped a tall city tower. The flags fluttering on the city tower, the sergeants are majestic, and the villagers don't know what military terms are, but they feel that this cottage is very steep, and they feel extremely shocked in their hearts.

"That's a lot of people! Dad, mother, are these people coming to Liangshan like us? Oh, there are so many people, where did Liangshan get so much land to distribute to us, let's go up and tell them first! "The youngest daughter is innocent and chaotic, and what she says makes her parents feel funny.

"With your brother here, are you afraid that there will be no land for us? It doesn't matter if this root comes early or late, no matter how late it comes, it can't stop us from having someone on the mountain! "The third aunt is confident.

The youngest daughter said "oh" as if she didn't understand, and then suddenly saw a few familiar figures at the gate, and said in surprise: "Brother Jiacai!?" Look at it, isn't that a family of talented brothers? Didn't they go to their relatives? (To be continued......)
