The Lai family of this Xinghua Village is a famous gentry within a radius of 100 miles, it is said that during the Taizu period, there was a Langzhong in the family, although there are no famous people since then, but there are also a few talents and people, the Lai family has been entrenched here for many years, the foundation is very deep, the nearby gentry can not be back, last year, Mu Sheng attacked Sichuan, the Lai family also made a contribution, and raised money and food for the official army, but these things, in the past, were great merits, but now they dare not mention it again, because the former thief, but now he has become a soldier, because of this black history, The Lai family has been at peace for a few days.

It's just that when the holy law is promulgated, the Lai family can't be at peace if they want it.

There are only nine members of the Lai family, but the land is more than 14,000 mu, which means that if the holy law is really implemented, then the 13,000 mu of land of the Lai family will not be able to be saved, and everyone is not selling the land at the moment, but even if you sell it, this field will be ignored for the time being, and the loss is so heavy that it is almost equivalent to digging up the foundation of the Lai family.

Originally, the Lai family and many gentry had a tacit understanding, that is, they would neither oppose it, but they would never ignore it, and simply make hob meat, anyway, the government's decree is one thing, but when they go to the countryside, many things can not be done by them.

Could it be that the government would still carry a knife and put it on its neck?

Even if the officials in the government go to the countryside, they don't dare to make things difficult for themselves, so they have no choice but to hide it from the authorities, so as long as this so-called holy law is not fermented, it will be difficult to move an inch.

In fact, in all dynasties, many decrees of the imperial court have been perfunctory in this way, and it is precisely because of such stubborn diseases that Zhu Yuanzhang has often been angry. He believed that the root of the problem was that the officials were not doing well, so he treated the local officials as weeds. cut stubble after stubble, but in the end, the once invincible Emperor Taizu. After all, he still lost, because of course, the problem also has the responsibility of the local officials, and a certain kind of Cheng dù also comes from the gentry of the Lai family, and without the support of the gentry, any decree can be implemented in a thousand difficulties, and it is extremely difficult for the imperial court to cultivate a school, everyone is willing to support it, and the imperial court wants to build bridges. It's not that they don't want to donate, but if the imperial court wants to move their land, or raise taxes, or even involve their fundamental interests, it is wishful thinking.

In the past, this was done, and now in the face of Hao Fenglou, it is naturally the same.

But the problem arose again, as long as everyone kept silent, the matter could pass. It's just that in this countryside, there are variables, and the variables are these students who have been sent down, and the Lai family quickly discovered it. A student arrived in the village, rented a village community, and began to teach. He brings his own dry food and does not charge any tuition. Help people with half-grown children, and sometimes help some tenant farmers write letters on their behalf. Occasionally, in the evening, I actually went to the grain field to chat with some idle men.

Gradually, this person gained the trust of the villagers, and this person began to talk about the holy law in a colorful way, telling everyone that relying on the fields and being prosperous and rich for generations is the greatest injustice in the world.

How can it be improved? That is to compress the value of the land to the minimum, so that the originally unattainable land price, everyone can afford to save some money, because each person must not own more than 100 acres of land, so that there will be a lot of surplus land on the market to sell at a reduced price, and those who have a lot of wealth, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, the land they can own can only be limited, and the price of this land will naturally plummet.

If a household is only allowed to own two properties at most, then the 'homeowners' who own dozens or hundreds of houses will have to sell a large number of their excess properties, and the supply of a large number of properties will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in housing prices, and because hoarders can only buy two sets, most of the new houses on the market are purchased without houses, and the collapse of the old supply and demand system will naturally lead to a sharp drop in housing prices.

Naturally, the things involved in the houses of later generations are more complicated, but there are not many things involved in this land now.

In the past, where did someone sue these peasant households, at this time, after listening to the words of the student, many people couldn't help but start to think, people have a mind, this original system can not be maintained, the Lai family only then found that if this kind of connivance continues, there is no need for the government, then these farmers will eat themselves alive, after all, they are lawbreakers, once they are instigated by someone with a heart, who knows what will happen in the end. On the other hand, they couldn't withstand the pressure of the government, and on the other hand, the tenant farmers and farmers began to think actively, and if this continued, how could the Lai family maintain?

In fact, all the gentry faced this situation, so many small actions came out, but the Lai family took the most drastic means, they directly bought the people, found the student and beat him, and then drove him out of the village.

Of course, Mrs. Lai knew that it was not so easy to deal with the aftermath, so at the first time, he began to look for a relationship and greeted the people in the government.

Early this morning, as usual, Mrs. Lai wants to take his eldest son to the village to inspect his own oil mill, on the way to the oil mill to pass through a piece of land, every time he passes by here, Mrs. Lai has a sense of satisfaction, some time ago, he invited Mr. to see, said that this land is an extremely rare treasure cave, so Mrs. Lai's posthumous things have been settled, thinking that he can also shade his children and grandchildren, for the benefit of all generations, his heart feels a lot more refreshing.

He is old, he should have arranged a lot of things after his death, the inheritance of his ancestors came to his hands, although it was not carried forward, but it was more than enough, as for the matter of the living member, he had long forgotten about it.

But when I arrived at the village, something happened to me.

The men began to appear, they were all soldiers, not armed with guns, but they were all armed with knives, they did not march in formation, but in a battle form of skirmishers, in groups of three or five, along the ridges, along the paths, or in the nearby mountains and forests.

Mrs. Lai's eyes were dizzy, but his eldest son could see it clearly, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, it's a thief...... No, it's the officers and soldiers ......"

In fact, it is not only the head of the village, but also the end of the village, there has already been a Lang Son army, there is a team of people appeared in the Lai family's mansion, and then a few people directly kicked the door with their feet, several long-term workers saw this, shocked, saw these people holding bright and dangling long knives, frightened directly to the ground, the people in each room were surprised, and there were family members who came out to see, and they were greeted by flashing blades.
