Chapter 117, the grace of the great lord
The gist is to thank the lord and the court for their kindness, but now Taoyuan Valley does not need to register for the time being, after all, everyone will disperse after that, and no one will want to live in this 100,000 mountains.
After such words, although the house official was a little hesitant, he had to leave with a smile.
No way, just rely on the few officials behind him with chattering teeth, want to do something here, I'm afraid it's not pretending to be a ghost in front of the king of Hades and doing death!
However, after leaving Taoyuan Path, the household official turned his head to look, and the hatred in his eyes could hardly be contained: "Hmph! When the imperial army arrives, I'll see what you do! ”
He didn't know that at this moment, not far from his footsteps, a woodcarved grasshopper transmitted all his words back.
The army of the imperial court?
Fang Xiaoyue frowned, it was obvious that the Pinggui Kingdom was stationed in Subei County to prevent the Beiyue Kingdom from invading again.
But the problem is that Pinggui's army is not a good stubble.
It is very appropriate to describe them as victorious as bandits and defeated as rogues.
Let's put it this way, if you compare the military discipline of several surrounding countries, Pinggui is probably the last.
It is precisely because of this that the combat effectiveness of the army of Pinggui is notoriously weak.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't care about the imperial army at this time.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Taoyuan Valley became a little chaotic.
Some of the more excited women went directly back to the wooden house to prepare for the move, but the men in their family were a little brainy, and after a few scoldings, they became honest.
But Fang Xiaoyue also knows this kind of thing, and it is not a way to rely on strong pressure alone.
There are only a few people who like to live in the deep mountains and old forests.
Besides, people, the homeland is difficult to leave, including Zhang Dahui, if he is resurrected, maybe he will be ready to pack at this time.
"Everyone come to the dam to get together, and I'll talk about it."
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyue immediately got angry and yelled around.
Soon, men, women, young and old gathered around the dam.
More than 700 people seems to be a lot.
"Folks, what do you think about today's matter?"
Fang Xiaoyue did not directly state his opinion, but let these villagers speak first.
As soon as he asked, the villagers below immediately boiled.
Some said they wanted to go home, some said they wanted to go with Zhang Dascoop, and some were hesitant and didn't know what to say.
Even in the back, those who wanted to go home and those who wanted to stay quarreled, and Fang Xiaoyue had to shout to stop.
"You want to go home, and I want to go home, but have you thought about what to do when you go back? It's about to enter winter, houses, farmland have been burned to ruins by the Beiyue Army, don't expect disaster relief food from the imperial court, have you seen a disaster relief food? You have seen the appearance of those officials and masters in the past, and when you go back, they will come and take away your only food, and if you can't hand over the food, you will arrest them and torture them in prison........."
Fang Xiaoyue tried her best to describe the terrible scene after she went back.
Many villagers who were originally excited to go back did not have any smiles on their faces at this time.
They think back to what life they used to live.
In addition to paying a lot of grain to the landlords every year, there is also a lot of grain to be paid as taxes.
Anyone who could not pay the taxes would be arrested and taken to the county office, and every day they wore heavy shackles and displayed in the square in front of the county office.
Every year after the autumn harvest, a large number of ordinary people who can't afford to pay agricultural taxes will die in the county government square wearing shackles!
It is not surprising that the shackles are not allowed to drink or eat, and only after the shackles have been removed.
In such a situation, even if a person in good health has to pass out if he stands for a day in a row, not to mention that the new county order has been in place since it was in place, and the title of cool official has been passed out, and he is extremely ruthless in pursuing taxes.
In this way, those villagers who were originally a little excited felt a basin of cold water splashed on their heads, and their thoughts that were originally boiling as if they had just come out of the oven suddenly cooled.
They weren't stupid, but their previous nostalgia for their hometown had overwhelmed their sanity.
But now as soon as reason returned, they immediately understood that the words of the housekeeper were evil.
If he went back, as soon as the villagers dispersed, they could only be blackmailed and tortured by those officials.
And here, in Taoyuan Valley, even the household official didn't dare to take any offense.
Perhaps this is what Uncle Zhang said that unity is strength?
After Fang Xiaoyue took some pains, most of the villagers calmed down and decided not to move back.
Of course, they are not stupid, there was a bumper harvest of rice before, and now there is a bumper harvest of potatoes, so much grain in Taoyuan Valley, if you want to eat, it is enough for them to eat for several years without starvation.
You know, when you go back, those fields may not be able to produce such a high yield.
And the most important thing is that Uncle Zhang said that Taoyuan Valley does not pay taxes!
This undoubtedly made the villagers eat a reassuring candy!
But the problem is that the vast majority of villagers are willing to stay in Taoyuan Valley, but there are still very few people who want to leave Taoyuan Valley.
For example, Zhu Dasheng's son-in-law Shao Niu has two sons, and several families with some fields.
That Shao Niu is the most determined homecoming, and his wife Zhu Daohua is the husband and wife who followed him.
On the contrary, Zhu Dasheng himself resolutely opposed going back.
But the problem is that the young couple wants to leave, and he can't control it as an old man, after all, in this plane, if you want to control Shao Niu, you have to Shao Niu and his son.
But Shao Niu's father had already been killed when the Beiyue Army invaded.
Therefore, as far as his small family is concerned, Shao Niu is the head of the family and the head of the household, and he has the final say.
As for those families who have some fields to leave, Fang Xiaoyue can't stop them, and he is not a slave owner.
Of course, he didn't insist on leaving, but when they left, each family sent two hundred catties of potatoes from Taoyuan Valley according to their heads.
These two hundred catties of potatoes can be eaten by one person, and they can also eat the crops harvested.
And Fang Xiaoyue also sent someone to send horses to send their family and potatoes home directly.
The thorns in Taoyuan Valley, the unstable factors were sent away, and Fang Xiaoyue was also relieved.
They are willing to go, and whether it is good or bad in the future, it doesn't matter what happens to him.
In fact, the people who left Taoyuan Valley really didn't end well.
As soon as they arrived home on the front foot, the garrison of the village on the back foot came.
The so-called garrison is a trick made by the new county lord, which probably means that in order to verify the population of the villagers in each village and implement the distribution of disaster relief food, a temporary worker was placed in each village, probably a serious servant's follower, who has no salary, but can use the fame of the government to bully the people.
