That Liu honestly bluffed his soul was scattered, and he thought that there were bandits, shouting and screaming at the top of his voice, and suddenly ran out of people from house to house, the gong and basin bangs rang non-stop, and the adults in the village suddenly called the children cry, and the chickens and dogs jumped into a mess.

A bold man took a closer look, it turned out to be a group of descendants of the Xu family, scolded two sentences and informed the villagers that it was a misunderstanding, and a turmoil gradually disappeared.

These ten people were sent by Xu Hao, who originally helped Liu Laoshi demolish the house with good intentions, but he didn't expect that the first action ended in failure, and the reason for the failure came from Liu Laoshi's mouth.

Xu Hao didn't blame his subordinates, it was his mistake in broad daylight, and now that he has come to his senses, he regrets his recklessness for a while, and he is glad that it didn't happen, otherwise it would be too easy to find out who instigated it, and he thought about it and ended here.

Here Liu Laoshi didn't realize that he had inadvertently lost the most haode opportunity, and when he returned home, he didn't dare to find someone to demolish the house, and he didn't dare to run to the county master, he only knew that he was sullen sitting at home.

Jiang Song and a group of disciples entered the county school to ask for guilt, the scholar was promoted to Minglun Hall, read the county duke's handwritten words, he had heard of Jiang Song's various bad deeds, plus the four words of impartial law enforcement were written clearly, no matter how the disciples pleaded, they ordered the disciples to put on a bench, press Jiang Song up and beat him up, and drove him out.

Jiang Song was insulted in public, and when he returned home, he lay on the bamboo chair, blocked Liu Laoshi's door and scolded, he was tired of scolding, so he ordered his disciples to take turns to fight, and it lasted until midnight before dispersing.

Liu Laoshi was angry and hateful, but he got sick and was bedridden like his wife. The next day, the messenger came to urge him to demolish the house quickly, and as soon as the people left, Jiang Song came to the door and scolded.

Clear-eyed people know that Liu Laoshi is soft, as the so-called people do not raise officials and do not hold accountable, such trivial county affairs are too busy to ask more, and the errand servants are not willing to waste their legs and feet on a cold day, so this matter is gone.

Xu Hao secretly sighed that people are good at being bullied, you don't care if you don't fight yourself, Jiang Song got cheap and scolded for a few days, and proudly put a meal of wine.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the eldest lady Wang came early in the morning to ask the old lady to go into the city to visit her relatives, and the old lady nodded in agreement. Not long after, the third wife, Liu, also came over and said that she wanted to accompany her sister-in-law, meaning to go to the Lantern Festival at night.

Several granddaughters wanted to follow, and Wang smiled and said, "Mother relax, with the Wang family's guards following, it will be fine." ”

Seeing that the old lady was still silent, Liu hurriedly said, "Who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?" What about the outside of the capital and the inside, if something happens, the saint will be spared? ”

This is not unreasonable, in fact, there are things that happen every year, and the abduction of abductors is indeed rarely heard, who dares to provoke the emperor at this juncture? The lower nine streams were all stared at by the patrol shop.

In the end, the old lady said: "I'm just afraid that if I accidentally get separated, it will be bad if there is an accident." Well, tell my wives to be sure to watch people, cheer me up, and remember to ask Hao'er to follow. ”

At this time, Xu Hao was dealing with several officials in the front yard, and the leader was a household servant, who was going to check the Xu family's land deed as soon as he came. Xu Hao was a little confused, but fortunately he didn't come to raid the house, so he immediately ordered Wang Fu to bring all the land deeds.

When Xu Hao accompanied him to eat tea, he said cautiously: "Don't hide it from adults, the elders in the family are not at home, and you are young and careless, so you can bear with me." Dare to ask your lord, why did you come here? ”

The official said kindly: "It's the official who is abrupt, it seems that the prince doesn't know yet, so the official will tell you, this time I came to inspect the deed, it was the previous year that the saint decreed to recover the public land given to the lord, and now the Wei family has returned it in full, and the official came to the house is a routine matter, and the prince does not need to panic." ”

Xu Hao secretly said that there was still such a thing, no wonder the house was going to cut off the money and grain, and the land and property given by the emperor were handed over to the public. He knew that the emperor was rewarded with public land, and his family bought private land with money, and the two had nothing to do with each other, so he suddenly relaxed.

"Then ask me again, why is this?" In fact, Xu Hao already had the answer in his heart.

The official explained: "In recent years, there have been many noble villages and fields, and illegal things have happened repeatedly and disturbed the locality! And the saint loves the people like a son, so he decreed that the land given was withdrawn, and all the land was distributed instead, and your mansion was a first-class duke, with 5,000 stone per year. ”

Xu Hao had a clear smile on his face and an expression of admiration. In his heart, he said that I am afraid that it is more than that, and the real reason is that Comrade Lao Zhu is worried that the land will be wantonly annexed by the nobles, so he simply took back the rewarded fields and slowed down the speed.

Zhu Yuanzhang suffered from the hardships of a big landlord in his childhood, and he hated being unkind to the rich. After ascending the throne, if you look at the history books, it is not difficult to find that every peasant uprising is caused by the loss of land and the displacement of the people.

This is the rhythm of preparing for the future in advance, Xu Hao guessed in his heart, it seems that the next step is to strike at many nobles, and then he will attack the landlords and old wealth of the world, and then what about the next step? Will there be some restrictions on the feudal kings in various places? It shouldn't have been too late, otherwise why did Zhu Yunwen rush to cut the feudal domain as soon as he came to power?

Xu Hao has a spectrum in his heart, his current land is not much, if there are as many as dozens or hundreds of fields, this kind and friendly adult in front of him is afraid that he will be the emperor as soon as he returns to Beijing.

The government over there was too cautious and cautious, and he didn't dare to say a word about it, and the uncle was too, he didn't know about such a big thing, and he almost killed someone.

It's really a companion like a tiger. Xu Hao, who finally figured out the cause and effect, was relieved and picked up the tea with a relaxed face.

Next, Wang Fu came back with the land deed, and an official took out the certificate of the government, and the two were verified to be correct, and Xu Hao sent them all the way to the door.

The cold wind hit, Xu Hao had a feeling of walking back and forth in the ghost gate, and the whole back was cold, if someone in the Xu family bought a large amount of land in private and concealed it, immediately a crime of bullying the monarch came down, and the Xu family would be finished.

Fortunately, he didn't fool around, Xu Hao was shocked into a cold sweat, and his father, who was far away, bought the land after the fact, not to mention that the silver was limited and he couldn't buy much at all, even if the government came to check again in the coming year, he was not afraid, and the thousands of acres of land were just a big household.

He consulted the household official just now, there are about 20,000 rich households with tens of thousands of acres of land in Daming, what is the Xu family compared to? Of course, the existence of the Duke of Wei must be ruled out.

How much is 5,000 stone of grain worth? Xu Hao, who didn't know the cost of firewood and rice, didn't know, so he went to Fushouju with this question, and asked Wang Fu on the way, Wang Fu smiled and said: "There is not much money, about more than two thousand taels of silver." ”

Xu Hao was suddenly a little dumbfounded, the first-class duke only paid more than 2,000 taels of silver a year? How can it be spent? Of course, if you talk about grain, 5,000 stone is about 47,000 kilograms, which is an astonishing number, converted into the price of grain in later generations, one kilogram of rice is six yuan, and Wei Guogong's annual salary is 2.82 million yuan.

The problem is that it can't be counted in this way, and cheap food does not mean that it is cheap in other aspects. Let's just say that Qiu Xiang got three hundred taels of silver a few days ago, it stands to reason that she became rich overnight, of course, in addition to one hundred taels of real silver, the others are silver banknotes, and the actual value is only half of the silver, and now an acre of land ranges from twenty taels to thirty taels of silver, and can buy about ten acres of medium land, or a small courtyard near the capital, is it too much?

Now it seems that human relations are always the bulk of every family's expenditure, not to mention that there is a way to run a family, and a person who has a way to run a family, this aspect is not clear, and the family is easy to be poor.

A shrewd housewife can easily save a lot of money for her family, and the difference is the same, and it is needless to say that it is not enough.

Xu Hao is not an economist, so he can't think of a reason, so he simply doesn't want to think about it, and this profound knowledge will have to be combined with reality in the future and slowly specialize.

When she told the old lady about it, the old lady sighed lightly: "No wonder, I'm afraid that for the sake of An Sheng's heart, all the land and property purchased over the years have to be sold cheaply, and I am strapped for money." ”

Xu Hao deliberately coaxed his grandmother to be happy, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you have the foresight, and the whole family has to drink the northwest wind now." ”

The old lady really laughed, and said leisurely: "Grandma, because of this concern, I have not been allowed to buy farmland, otherwise how many acres of land can I take the opportunity to buy in the capital over the years?" After today's incident, the old body's concerns at that time were really good. ”

Xu Hao said with sincere admiration: "Grandma, you really know that ginger is old and spicy, and your grandson is far inferior." ”

The old lady smiled and said: "Your idea of increasing the ancestral field is not bad, this is the ancestral legend and will not be copied if something happens." It just so happened that I asked you to follow them into Beijing, you go to the house first, and when you meet your second grandfather, tell him your idea. ”

Xu Hao opened his mouth wide in surprise, this is about to meet Xu Da face to face?
