Chapter 138: Fists are the last word

"What makes sense of that? Money can't buy it. Tao Liuyi looked at Uncle Zheng in surprise and said, obviously not believing it.

"Since land is the lifeblood of people, no one will sell it easily unless it is absolutely necessary." Uncle Zheng still looked at them with clear eyes and said in detail, "Even if there is an accident and you need to sell the land, I will not sell it to you, an outsider." There are also rules for selling land, first ask relatives, then ask relatives, and then neighbors. Only relatives don't want a piece of land, your own family doesn't want it, and your neighbors who don't want it next to your land, as a foreigner, you have a chance. ”

"According to you, it's useless to have money." Tao Qini raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said obviously angrily.

"I'm afraid so." Yao Changsheng's eyes rolled slightly, looked at them and said, "Uncle Zheng should know about the tea and horse business!" ”

"You know, the southwest, the famous trade road, arose in the Tang Dynasty." Uncle Zheng looked at him and said slowly.

Yao Changsheng looked at the ignorant them and said simply, "Tubo is rich in horses, and we are rich in tea, trading with each other, and tea and horses are trading with each other. The same trade route also opened up the Hexi Corridor in the Han Dynasty, and the Western Regions, which sold tea, silk, salt and daily utensils to the early Tang Dynasty were collectively called Tianzhu, and the Arab region was ......"

Old Uncle Zheng looked at him dumbfounded, it was impossible for these ordinary people to know.

Tao Qini's eyes glanced at Yao Changsheng, boy, you said too much, so she interrupted her directly, "Talk about the point, the point!" ”

Yao Changsheng's eyes were slightly warm when he heard this, how could he not know what she meant, he was a wanted criminal, so what, he was going to rebel, what were he afraid of?

Besides, there is no way to avoid this, and there is nothing to say to people, when the gentleman does not show some real skills, how can it be convincing!

Yao Changsheng looked at them with obsidian-like shining eyes and said, "What I want to say is that in order to facilitate trading, there are often wealthy businessmen from other places who borrow money to live in the local area, and even go to the county government to go through the relevant procedures and settle down, that is, they temporarily hang their household registration in the village, and they have lived in the village for decades, and their sons and grandsons are born here, and when the grandson marries a wife and has children, the old businessman has not been able to buy even a single acre of land in the village." ”

"Why? It won't be that no one will sell the land, right? Tao Qini looked at him curiously and said.

Yao Changsheng looked at them and said unhurriedly, "There must be, but it's not his turn, as Uncle Zheng said, sell land first ask the clan, family, neighbors, and neighbors don't want to sell others, and the character and reputation of the land buyer must also be recognized by the neighbors, and this transaction can be considered successful." If his character and reputation are not good, the neighbors have the right to unite and sue the county government to disrupt the deal. ”

Tao Liuyi looked at him in disbelief and said, "Is there such a thing? How can other people's land be sold as much as they want, but can't it be sold to a high price? ”

"If your neighbor sells his land to a scoundrel who steals chickens and dogs and behaves badly, you will not be able to be a neighbor with such a person in the future." Yao Changsheng looked at him and said unhurriedly.

"Don't do it, don't do it!" Tao Liuyi immediately said when he heard this.

"Another thing, how long do you have to save this money to buy land!" Uncle Zheng looked at them innocently and said.

"If that doesn't work?" Tao Liuyi scratched his head and looked at them and said, "I have the strength, can't I open up the wasteland?" Didn't the rebels encourage the opening of the wasteland? ”

"Hehe......" Uncle Zheng suddenly laughed, "Do you know how difficult it is to open up wasteland?" This requires your family to let you do it together, and the time it takes is calculated in years, and you will have to lose your life. ”

"Is this as exaggerated as Uncle Zheng said?" Tao Liuyi looked at him with pure eyes full of doubts and said, "Isn't it just farming?" I have been planting, but this harvest has been given to the landlord. ”

Uncle Zheng smiled when he heard this, looked at him, and said in a calm tone, "Let's settle the score, you will know how difficult it is to open up wasteland." Let's go south, right? The south is not like our Central Plains, which is a flat river, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles. Most of them are mountainous, and there are many people and few lands, but if they are a little smoother, within a mile from the water source, the horns and ditches are almost all occupied by people, and the children and grandchildren of the more land will have more food to eat. His gaze swept over the four members of the Tao family and said, "You father and son, you are hardworking and capable, and it will take thirty-five years to open up twenty acres of land." He looked at Tao 15 and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Six out of thirty." Tao Fifteen looked at him and replied honestly.

"Seventy years of life are rare." Uncle Zheng looked at them with compassion and said slowly.

"Where did it take so long! That's too slow, right? Tao Qini couldn't help but complain.

"Don't slow down." Yao Changsheng looked at her and shook his head and smiled, "Not everyone is like you, with more strength than men. Do you have to think about how many people who have escaped from the famine, and how many of them can eat enough, so that they can cultivate the land and have the strength? With a wry smile, he said, "As you calculated, it takes thirty or forty days to travel from Tokyo City to Qilu, what about you!" ”

Tao Qini scratched her head when she heard this, and said embarrassedly, "I always ask others based on my situation." He looked at Uncle Zheng and said, "Uncle Zheng, you continue, what do we need to pay attention to when we open up the wasteland?" ”

Tao Qini, who has never farmed, really doesn't know anything about this, and with him telling you the precautions, you can also avoid detours.

"We are penniless, people settle down, even if you live in a shack, you have to start by saving money and food, and when you are ready, you can open up the wasteland. But there is a way that no one cultivates the thin field, and there are people fighting for it. At this time, we who are not familiar with life will suffer. Uncle Zheng looked at them and sighed softly.

"What then? We will eat this loss, and no one will make the decision for us? Tao Liuyi said unconvinced, "There is always a place for reasonableness!" ”

"Be reasonable, who told you, people are very close, call all the three relatives and six relatives, you can't fight alone. What's more, people don't have to fight, as long as they have the right in the local area, pinching us to death is as easy as pinching an ant to death. Uncle Zheng looked at him and said bluntly, "Since the ancients, people talked about human feelings, where did they come from so many truths, people have the difference between relatives and relatives, and you must also help your own people." ”

"What then?" Tao Qini looked at him and said unwillingly.

"Open it again." Uncle Zheng looked at them and continued, and said in a gentle voice, "But generally no one will come to rob it, and the land opened up by the wasteland is basically a wild wilderness, a mountain forest swamp, and a saline-alkali barren beach. It's useless for people to grab it. Even if you come to grab it, just hit it out, nothing else, but it is more powerful than the young master in the city. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tao Liuyi nodded hurriedly and said, "I don't lack strength." Looking at Tao Qini, he said, "It seems that you have to rely on your fists in the end." ”
