Overnight, Yan Hong also got to know these two beauties a little. This pair of aunts don't know how to read, and they don't have any scheming, so they can't hide something from others. The two of them are completely blamed on Geng Shaoquan for the difficulties of the Geng family, who let you eat too much, let the good life go over to rebel, implicate our whole family to suffer, it is really unfortunate for the family! As for Yan Hong, as a messenger of the imperial court, suppressing the rebellion, it is a matter of course. These two women did not dare to complain, and they really did not have any hatred.

On the contrary, because Yan Hong promised them that they didn't have to go to the Teaching Division, and even agreed to Geng Jinling's request to save her father, this made the second daughter grateful to Yan Hong and regarded her as a life-saving bodhisattva. In addition, Yan Hong is a handsome young man, a prominent family, and his means are not trivial, so the two girls not only think that they are forcibly occupied, but think that they are the golden beetle uncle given by God, and they can be held by themselves to thick legs, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.

Needless to say, Geng Jinling, the big girl, since she lost her body, she didn't think about it anymore, even the woman Huayue Xian, in comparison, also felt that Geng Shaoquan, who killed a thousand knives, was not even qualified to lick the toes of this young and handsome old man who was good at killing. Therefore, in addition to showing his whole body to serve, he also tied all his feelings to this Qincha, regardless of the fact that his man had not yet cut off his head, he had already pasted all his charming bones and soft intestines on his body. If Geng Shaoquan knew about this situation in prison, he would have to spew blood and hit the wall with his head.

From Yan Hong's point of view, Hua Yuexian knows how to flatter and is a first-class stunner; Geng Jinling is simple and cute, and he is even more obedient to himself, at his mercy. It's hard to give up. He saw that the two men had completely changed their positions. Completely from your own point of view. couldn't help but sigh secretly, Zhang Ailing is honest and does not deceive me. Now that these two beauties have been subdued, it is better to bring them back as a maid and give Sun Yuerong as a companion. Otherwise, with Sun Yuerong's temperament, in the future in the inner house, I am afraid that I will be played to death by Bao Chan, Zhang Qingyan and others.

When they arrived at the meeting hall of the Geng family, Geng Dunru came over and gave a salute. Only then did he ask, "I wonder if those two sluts are good at serving?" ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "Not bad." I left these two people behind, and if there is anything to do when I turn around, I only let them talk to me, and just tell me how much money they should use. ”

Geng Dunru originally wanted to use these two women to curry favor with Qincha, but he didn't expect that although the two women didn't know how to read, they also had scheming, and they even knew about his private embezzlement of the Geng family's property. Unexpectedly, the dewy marriage he originally thought was actually sent to ask for someone. He had to smile and say congratulations. Then he said: "The old man consulted with a few village elders last night, and the people in those dozen or so villages were aggressive. One is to add fuel and vinegar to some of my Geng family's past behaviors, which is extremely exaggerated, and in terms of claims, it is even more of a lion's mouth, not only to bring profits according to the capital, but even in the famine year, it is also calculated according to the good year, and the lives of the accidentally injured are even more expensive. With such a momentum, even if my Geng family is bankrupt, it will be difficult for them to be satisfied. ”

Yan Hong said: "Old man Geng, how can I save you in this matter?" After all, the other party has evidence in hand, and Geng Shaoquan's deeds must be said when they are taken to the imperial court. I can't send troops to drive away these complaints, and I have no power to protect them, and I hope the old man will understand. ”

Geng Dunru said: "No, no." The old man didn't dare to force Qin. The old man just wanted to sell all the 8,000 acres of land owned by my Geng family's ancestral business, as well as woodland, ponds and fourteen shops in the city to the eldest master. ”

Yan Hong smiled and said, "Oh? These fields and ponds are the ancestral property of your Geng family, and if they are sold, do the people in the clan have any objections? ”

"Don't worry, the old man is the patriarch, this lord still did it, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks about this batch of industries."

"But I don't know how much money it costs? The official came out in a hurry, and the money on his body was limited, and if the amount was too large, I was afraid that he would have to find someone to borrow some silver taels to turn around. ”

"What did the old man say? Although this is a business, I can't ask you for money. Now the Japanese invaded the border, my Ming soldiers killed the enemy in blood, and made great achievements, although the old man is old, he can't fight in battle, but he also has the heart to serve the country. The proceeds from the sale of the land are all used by my Geng family to help pay them, and this silver is rewarded to the soldiers, and the old man will not dare to accept it. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he secretly said in his heart: This old fox is not simple. His hands were tantamount to tying himself to a car. In the name of selling, in fact, they give their property to themselves, and if the outsiders of those villages continue to ask for compensation, it is equivalent to taking money out of their own pockets, and who would dare to send them to death?

And this kind of transfer of property rights seems to have suffered a big loss for the Geng family, but it is not. It is impossible for Yan Hong to live in Taizhou for a long time, so this property still has to be handed over to someone to take care of, and as long as Yan Hong is not against him, the agent he is looking for should naturally be the original team of the Geng family. And it's enough to collect rent for the New Year. What does the old patriarch Geng who appeared as an agent have to lose?

Another said that Yan Hong was an official and originally enjoyed the right to be exempt from taxation. There is also the power of Yan Ge Lao, he himself is a big celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, and the industry under his name, who is not afraid of death and dares to collect taxes? Therefore, the Geng family's land sale is actually a disguised contribution, and they have been exempted from paying taxes since then. As for the land rent paid to Yan Hong, this is of course a part of the loss compared to before, but at the same time, compared with before, the tax paid to the official family has also been reduced, and even the poll tax has been exempted, which saves the endless additional extortion. In this comparison, in fact, the loss is not big. Through this means, the disaster caused by Geng Shaoquan's rebellion and the complaints of the surrounding villages can be completely quelled, and the price paid is simply too little. Not to mention that he fell on Yan Ge's thigh in the future, and even to some extent, he still took advantage.

In addition to Hu Zongxian's own fundraising, Emperor Jiajing issued an order to promote the compilation in Jiangnan. To put it bluntly, this is a tax increase, and in the time and space to which Yan Donglai belongs, the three salaries levied in the last years of the Ming Dynasty also belong to this nature.

The amount of 400,000 taels of silver was to be borne by the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and then it was apportioned according to the establishment of prefectures and counties. 400,000 were sent down from above, and after layers of increases, when it came to the local level, it would start at about 600,000. The original backer of the Geng family was Geng Shaoquan, relying on this relationship, a so-so symbolic intercourse is. As soon as the mountain is finished, the money for this contribution will have to be paid according to the population, which is a large expense. Now they have dedicated their land, and their identities have changed from landlords and yeoman farmers to tenants, and since then they have disappeared from the fish scale album of the Ming Dynasty, and have become an invisible population, which can avoid this money, and if you calculate it carefully, it is actually difficult to say whether it is a loss or a advantage.

Yan Hong is waiting to bargain with the other party and ask for the dowry of the pair of aunts, so he can't cheapen this old boy for nothing. At this moment, the housekeeper Geng Fu came in and muttered a few words in Geng Dunru's ear, Geng Dunru's face changed: "Master, sit down for a while, the old man has some mundane affairs, just come when you go." With that, he left the hall on crutches.

That Geng Dunru followed Geng Fu to another remote house, only to see his youngest son Geng Jinhai wiping his sweat while looking anxiously, seeing him come in, came over and kowtowed: "Dad, the widow, the widow is here!" ”

Geng Dunru heard that the would-be was coming, and hurriedly said, "Coming?" How many came? How long will it take to get here? Damn, this Qincha actually brought people from the outside village to come over, let's quickly gather all the Zhuang Ding, and take the fine soft to hide first. Wait for the pirates to come, and let them fight to the death. ”

Geng Jinhai shook his head and said, "No! Not only the Japanese but also the officers and soldiers came. ”

"What? Is it the Japanese who chased and killed the officers and soldiers to chase here? That's fine, let's invite the officers and soldiers in first, and then leave, so that none of them can get out. When the time comes, when the Japanese are done fighting the officers and soldiers, maybe we can get him a few bird guns and dozens of pairs of armor. ”

Geng Jinhai hurriedly said: "Dad, wrong pull!" Wrong pull! It's not the Japanese who chase the officers and soldiers, it's the officers and soldiers who chase the Japanese invaders! ”

Geng Dunru picked up his crutches and beat him, and scolded in his mouth: "Bastard thing! It's such a big person, why can't you even speak clearly, what the hell is going on? ”

Geng Jinhai was beaten and said, "Don't fight, don't fight, if you beat me again, I won't be able to tell clearly!" ”

After listening to the news from his son, Geng Dunru didn't even have time to beat people, so he hurriedly hurried back to the hall and said to Yan Hong: "Master, my family's descendants have just found out the news, there is a big master Qi who led the Zhejiang soldiers to win the battle, chased and killed the Japanese invaders, and thousands of Japanese invaders were defeated all the way to Taizhou. My family is riding on the foot to explore, the foot is faster, it is estimated that there will be another hour, this widow should come to our vicinity, whether it is a war or a defense, please take a charter. ”

Yan Hong was overjoyed when he heard this. Originally, what he was most worried about now was the battle situation. In case the Japanese invaders break the Xinhe Institute, this battle may become unimaginable, and the only combat power in their hands is Qi Jiguang's Zhejiang soldiers, if Qi Jiguang is defeated, he can only run away. Now Qi Laohu has lived up to expectations, and he really won a big victory, and looking at this situation, he was in a hurry to attack the Japanese and wanted to pounce on the capital city of Taizhou. What do they want to do? Do you want to win in defeat? This is a self-defeating situation.

But on the other hand, there are not many soldiers to fight in Taizhou now. The mobile troops were all pulled here by themselves to eat and drink, and there was only a group of auxiliary soldiers in the city, and they could fight more than 100 local brocade guards. That's only a few hundred, and most of them are garbage. Even if Brother Yun Chuqi is the reincarnation of Sun Wu, he can't stop thousands of widows! If Taizhou is really broken by the Japanese invaders, it will be terrible. Even if Qi Jiguang then covered up and killed, and the city was attacked by the Japanese invaders, the loss would be too great.

However, at this moment, there are only more than 100 troops around him, and even if he rushes back immediately, he may not be able to hold it. How is this good? After thinking about it, he had a plan, and said: "But this matter is not busy, hurry up and invite the patriarchs and staff of the dozen or so families to discuss this matter." ”

The patriarchs of those other villages drank a lot of cheap wine last night, and most of them were still in a hangover this morning, and they barely came here, but when they heard that the Japanese were coming, they suddenly woke up more than half of the wine, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't know if it is a real or a fake Japanese who came." In short, the Japanese are very cruel, and we are afraid of poisoning our family, so we can only say goodbye and take the men and horses back to the village for defense. (To be continued......)
