readx;? On the small bridge in Yong'an Village, the children running back and forth to play are not yet April, but the weeping willows by the river have been dyed with new green, and under the eaves, patches of copper money grass are swaying slightly, stretching their bodies.

It was a beautiful afternoon, but the group of people gathered in front of the Land Temple at this time obviously didn't think so.
"Thirty taels, that's two taels of silver higher than last year. The old farmer said to himself, Lu Nancheng's ears heard this sentence very clearly, if the village chief said that this land was a Chinese New Year's Eve and three taels of silver, he would still be a little unconvinced, but now the old man's words made him understand that this land is really being rented and sold!
"Now those who have paid the money should go over there and get a certificate. The thin village chief's son pointed to the village chief next to the two officials.
Many people who had come forward to hand over the silver went forward to line up again to get the vouchers.
"Uncle, what is this certificate?" Lu Nancheng opened his mouth with questions.
"Oh, it's the voucher for renting and selling the land, and you can look at it later when I get it." The old farmer also knew that this thing could not be explained in a few words, so he explained it to him.
Lu Nancheng nodded, and continued to look at the few people sitting at the front, now even if he has thousands of different guesses in his heart, he must first watch this drama at this time.
After a while, the village chief said, "Now we are renting and selling the few pieces of land that are a little farther away from the village, and each mu is twenty taels of silver." Whoever wants it, come forward and hand over the money over there. ”
The village chief twisted his beard, there was no expression on his face, he still looked like a more dignified elder, the old farmer on one side heard this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to rent and buy land, Lu Nancheng was not good to follow and take a closer look, so he motioned to Ying Yi to go and watch quietly.
As soon as Ying stepped forward, he saw that some people stepped forward one after another to line up in front of the skinny guy, and those who arrived first could add more money to rent and buy additional land on top of the fixed amount, of course, in most cases, everyone could take out about the same amount of money, after all, they were not rich farmers, and there was only so much money that could be taken out.
Then, after taking out the money, he went to the official side to line up to receive the so-called voucher, and when he came back after a busy circle, the village chief over there had already begun to announce the situation of the other part of the land. At this time, many people had already left one after another, only Lu Nancheng continued to mingle in the crowd because they still wanted to see the situation, carefully studying the situation.
The old farmer looked at them with a curious look, and originally wanted to go back, but then he thought that this person was brought by him, and many people in the village knew about it, so it was better to accompany them here, otherwise if the village chief found out that there were outsiders here, would he be able to do it?
The price of the land here is getting lower and lower, and it is getting farther and farther away from the village, and finally the four taels of silver land is almost in other villages, and the rental and sale of this land is over.
Among the people who went back this time, they were happy that the whole person looked very kind, but there were also those who looked extremely unnatural, and they walked with their heads down, and they couldn't see the figure when they turned the corner.
When I went back to the old farmer's hut surrounded by a wooden fence, the eldest lady was busy in the vegetable field, and when she saw them coming back, she said hello, and cleaned up for a while before returning to the house.
"Uncle, has this land been rented and sold all along?" Lu Nancheng began to inquire after he came back, and all he had to do now was to understand the whole thing first.
"I didn't have it before, but at that time, land was also expensive, and everyone couldn't afford it, so I said that it would be rented and sold. The old farmer sighed and said.
"Then the money that is rented and sold now is not cheap, is it?" Shen Yuan also asked.
"That's right, the land that is planted well is expensive, Nong also saw it, the better the land, the more expensive it is, and those who are close to the village will cost thirty taels of silver. ”
"Ah, has the price of the land at the entrance of the village risen again?" The busy lady on the side heard the latter sentence, and hurriedly walked over and asked the uncle.
"Yes, it's not going up, I still want to rent this, but it's all in vain. The old man sat on the stool, and he was a little helpless, and took out the certificate of the land from his arms to show the eldest lady.
After the eldest lady finished reading it, Lu Nancheng and the others also hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, after all, they wanted to see it before this, and now they could be regarded as seizing the opportunity, so they hurried up.
I saw that the paper was also very simple, first it was written the village where it was located, and the name of the old farmer who rented the paddy field, then the number of acres of the paddy field and the place where the paddy field was located, and finally the name of the village chief was signed, and then the seal of the county official was stamped.
Now it is clear at a glance, what the situation Lu Nancheng is also clear, this has the official seal, isn't it just that someone is mixing it up again? sneered in his heart, I am afraid that none of the six counties of Jiangnan County is clean, fortunately, he chose Jiangnan Parade before, just considering that if something happens, it is better to turn to the thunderclouds that are relatively close.
No, it always makes sense to plan ahead, and in the current situation, he may need to turn to some of the forces of the thunderclouds.
The latter people had a detailed understanding of the situation with the old peasants, and it turned out that it was a land deed that the court had said that the land could be owned by private individuals, so the local government was responsible for buying and issuing land deeds for everyone, so that many officials privately purchased a large amount of land for personal gain.
But the situation in Jiaxing is a different story, and what is the situation of whether this is rented or not sold? Lu Nancheng first ordered him to return to the Qingfeng Shangyuan in Nanhu.
At dusk, the scenery on the South Lake is still extremely beautiful, the South Lake is divided into two lakes, the east and the west, there are still a few mandarin ducks on the lake, there are a lot of pavilions and pavilions built on both sides of the lake, at this time, there are still a lot of literati and ink writers chanting poetry in that wine.
Shen Yuan sat in front of the window, looking at the small island in the middle of the lake, now it is a verdant corridor surrounded by rockeries, back then, it was just a piece of land that looked more different, this Jiaxing is still a lot different, and I can't help but sigh that the years are fleeting.
Lu Nancheng was a little bored at this time, Jiaxing here just encountered such a thing, and the Changzhou county order over there came to the fold, saying that he heard that the holy dragon was not in good health, and the people of Changzhou City spontaneously chanted the scriptures for the emperor, and now they are together on the petition of the people, asking the saint to participate in the release meeting in Kaifu Temple seven days later, so as to pray for the saint.
Looking at the letter that came from the excerpt, the last sentence was, "The minister will not dare to resign." ”
Lu Nancheng laughed angrily, this county order in Changzhou is really okay, if it hadn't happened so much, he might have been moved by the kindness of the people of Limin.
But now, he already knew the situation in Changzhou, could he still be deceived by him like this?
"Master, ...... this?" Ying Yi on the side looked at Emperor Zhaohua standing there, with a mockery on his lips, a little worried that he would start a fire again.
"This excerpt says that my people are going to hold this release conference for the sake of my dragon body, and they also say that they dare not give up if they die, heh, this is forcing me......" Lu Nancheng let out a long sigh.
"Master......"
Ying Yi just called out to the master again, but was interrupted by Lu Nancheng's mouth, "Go, tomorrow I will send a boat to Hangzhou first, and then transfer to Changzhou!"
"What about Jiaxing?" Ying Yi hesitated.
"Leave someone here in Jiaxing, contact Lei Yun again, and let him send someone to deal with it. Emperor Zhaohua responded coldly, and Ying Yi could personally feel the displeasure that continued to emanate from his body.
So after he responded, he hurriedly went to order the arrangement, and the master at this moment should be handed over to Concubine De to appease him.
On the second day, after having breakfast at the inn, I was ready to set off to the pier, but I didn't expect to encounter a chaotic scene, I saw an old couple on the street, and a man in his twenties who seemed to have been beaten and a group of people gathered in a heap, the old couple knelt there crying something, and the man was also pulling.
But the group of people also looked impatient, back and forth, and finally did not know what they said, so they left, and then looked at the couple, let go of the corner of the robe that was dragging one of them, the woman had already fainted from crying, and the man wanted to do something more, and when he turned around, he saw that the old woman had already fainted from crying, and hurriedly picked up the person and ran across the street......
Early in the morning, Lu Nancheng frowned, and Ying Yi looked at it and hurriedly motioned to the people below to inquire about the situation.
It turned out that the mayor of Nanhu Town was in charge of the distribution of paddy fields in each village below, but the land in this village this year was not very good.
As soon as the village chief came to the town mayor to listen to the news, he found that it turned out that it was a relative of the town mayor's family who fell in love with a girl in the village and wanted to take a concubine back.
However, this is not enough to suppress the mayor to put pressure on the entire village, and the paddy fields rented in the village this year are not very good, which makes the people of the village dumbfounded. The village chief had no choice but to comfort them earnestly, and the family was crying and making trouble, but they still had to compromise and prepare to send their daughter to be a concubine.
Just now, this farce is that the girl's brother got the letter, and he was angry and wanted to go to the mayor to ask for an explanation, in addition to the people in the village kneeling and begging, begging them to send their daughter, and the people under the mayor just now, they were all kinds of evil words against them.
Then the woman fainted from crying, and it became a farce.
Shen Yuan felt a little sympathetic to the family when he heard this, this town mayor is also a calculating, it is useless to force the family, if he is ruthless, he can secretly leave his hometown, but this is a little unreasonable to force the livelihood of a village.
In this way, in addition to resisting the coercion and temptation of the mayor, this family also has to be accused by a village, "What kind of evil is this?" Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Emperor Zhaohua thought to himself, since this is to deal with the situation of land rental and sale in Jiaxing, this extra thing cannot be ignored, but it is also important to hurry at this moment, so he arranged for Ying to keep one more manpower again and again, so that he can be regarded as relieved to get on the ship and prepare to leave for Hangzhou.
