Chapter 893: Breaking Ground
Mrs. Lai was already stunned.
He is an old man, and of course he expected many consequences, but he never expected it to be like this.
At this time, someone had escorted him back to the mansion, and he found that this place had been charged, and there was a resisting villager on the ground who fell in a pool of blood, and all the rooms of the house were also charged.
Xiucai met the soldiers, and by this time, Lai Taigong was furious, and he was already a little unbearable.
Immediately afterwards, he saw many people, many of whom were officials from Chengdu Prefecture, and a few were old acquaintances with Mrs. Lai, but now, everyone's faces were indifferent, and they all pretended not to have anything to do with Mrs. Lai.
One of them, dressed in a python suit with a murderous face, put his hands behind his back, and came in in a crowd of people, and said bluntly: "Which one is Lai Youbao." ”
When Mrs. Lai heard this, he had to bow down and said, "The villain is guaranteed, but I don't know what crime the villain has committed and why he has violated it." ”
Hao Fenglou just glanced at him, and said: "Is there a crime is not up to you, it is this king who has the final say, now there are people who have been killed in this Xinghua Village, this king is not looking for others, of course he is looking for your Lai family, this account is not counted on your head, is it not counted on the head of this king?" This king has carried out the holy law, and you have repeatedly obstructed it, and violated the living people, and the sin has been increased by one degree, do you really think that this world is still your world? You still have the final say on this royal law? It's really stupid, I don't know how high the sky is, and I still don't know how to repent, and I still come to ask this king what his sin is, isn't it ridiculous? ”
Hao Fenglou continued slowly: "When this king came, Haosheng visited your family business, not bad, not bad. is indeed a huge family business, and it is rare to see that your Lai family has today's industry. The ancestors had a hard time starting a business, in their hearts. This king also knows that none of the things in your house are blown by the wind, but since you have to ask what the sin is, then this king might as well tell you that you are in the way, and since you and your people have become stumbling blocks, you must obediently roll aside, if you are obedient. This king can still let you linger, but if you don't obey, this king will kick you away. ”
These words were so strong that Lai Youbao's face suddenly changed.
But I heard Hao Fenglou say: "Come here, copy the Lai family, the land is confiscated, and all the men are not slaves on Chongming Island." ”
Lai Youbao's face was depressed, and his color suddenly changed, and his whole person couldn't help but wither.
This good end of a home is gone.
And the officers and soldiers who fought in the open fire were naturally not polite. In the screams of the women, they all moved.

The news has spread in Chengdu Prefecture.
Although many people began to scold in private, at this time, a strange phenomenon appeared. on the countertop. No one dared to make a sound, and these people finally knew that this guy surnamed Hao was unreasonable. With the experience of Lai Youbao, the huge pressure was put on the heads of all the gentry.
Now those students have begun to become unscrupulous. These students spread the Holy Dharma everywhere in the countryside, even the most unenlightened old peasants. Now we all know what the Holy Law is.
In this way, the gentry not only suffered from the pressure of the upper authorities, but also from the lower tenant farmers.
Finally, the Zhou family in Dongping began to sell land, totaling more than 7,000 acres, and it was still two percent lower than the market price, and as soon as the Zhou family made a move, the families finally couldn't hold back.
The land is falling, plummeting, like an avalanche, once an acre of fertile land, tattooed silver thirty taels, but now, it has fallen to twenty taels all of a sudden, but even if twenty taels, still no one cares, the land is so rotten in the hand, but it has to be sold, and more and more people began to enter the boom of selling land, so the plunge continued.
Plummeted for a month, the land price was only seven taels of silver, the price of the land was cheap, it can be said that it was unprecedented, so Langshan money village began to haunt, they issued a special land purchase loan, but all farmers, can ask the money village for loans, purchase land, loan 70 taels of silver to buy land, loan 20 years, repay 12 taels of silver, I have to say, this money village to do some losses, if not to cooperate with the king of Dingnan, money village is impossible to do such a deal.
After all, the interest rate of only five taels of silver in 20 years is basically upside down at the current rate of inflation.
Of course, the money village is not completely unprofitable at the moment, in normal times, ordinary farmers have been in contact with the money village, want to promote the money village, become a thing closely related to everyone, there is surplus money to save it, the money issued by the money is recognized, when the silver is needed, no longer in the township to borrow usury, but to borrow from the bank, this kind of living habits, just from this time to start cultivating.
As a result, the craze for buying land finally began, and those tenant farmers finally stopped renting the landlord's land, and began to borrow from the money bank, buy land, and then use the land as collateral to repay the loan on time every year, and ordinary small farmers and middle peasants also began to eat some land.
The so-called holy law has finally been promoted, not only Chengdu Mansion, even other prefectures, also began to appear a similar situation, Dingnan King has implemented the holy law in Chengdu Mansion, many people predict that sooner or later this holy law will be implemented everywhere, with the experience of Chengdu Mansion, if you don't take the opportunity to get rid of the excess land, I am afraid that once the knife of the holy law is on your neck in the future, and then you want to sell the land, it will be too late.
The original gentry are now mourning, they have lost the land as an economic basis, and naturally it is no longer possible to affect the government, the so-called patriarchy, now it has become a joke, the patriarchs and chiefs drawn from all over the country finally began to gradually have prestige, if the former village, is one strong and many weak, one family occupies the vast majority of the land, other families are just vassals of the family, and half of the people in the village may be the family's long-term workers and tenant farmers, in this case, naturally, They became the uncrowned kings of the village, and now that these resources were scattered, the government-appointed chief of the armor began to become extremely important.
Hao Fenglou's mood gradually improved, these chief armor chiefs have now become his tentacles, and after taking over the countryside, he finally made the government decree accessible.
Hao Fenglou began to promulgate the literacy order, of course, in the name of the Holy Law, requiring all children aged ten to learn to read and write, and the school officials in the government will conduct an annual assessment and certification.
After this measure, more and more children are sent to the village to study, and any measure taken by Hao Fenglou, a certain kind of Cheng dù is not forced, not like those old men, who think that reading and writing is for your own good, for your long-term consideration, you should be grateful to Dade and obedient.
In fact, reading and writing is a long-term consideration, but for many farmers, let children go to study, the long-term benefits are too far away after all, there is no real benefit, it is better to let children do farm work at home, multiple helpers, but now it is very different, reading and literacy, through the guò assessment, in fact, it is not difficult, but in the village school to learn for a year and a half, plus arithmetic, full of calculations is also a year, but a lifetime can enjoy the preferential treatment of grain tax, which is for the vast majority of farmers, It's all a good deal.
Therefore, the village schools are now overcrowded, not to mention half-grown children, and young people in their twenties are also among them, and they are babbling students every day, which is very lively.
At the same time, the prefect's yamen began to book newspapers in Langshan, and there were all kinds of newspapers, and a whole car would be delivered on time every month, which was full of all kinds of news, the latest edict of King Pingnan, where there were rare things, the recent sharp rise in food prices, or the collapse of iron prices, or the arrival of a certain fleet on an uninhabited island, and many customs and customs on the island, etc., not only these, but also many stories of gods and ghosts, etc.
These newspapers will be sent to the villages, and the teacher of the village school has no textbooks to teach after all, so he naturally uses these newspapers to teach.
Many things in the newspaper are vividly spoken in class, but a certain kind of Cheng dù seems to open a window for everyone, in this village community far away from the hustle and bustle, these people who may have been farming here for generations, and can never be separated from a radius of a hundred miles, actually passed guò these, began to have contact with the outside world, maybe their imagination of Langshan, for the king of Pingnan, for the train, for the sea ship is ridiculous, but once this imagination through the guò words finally formed a kind of reverie, A new world, and even a new worldview, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
For example, in the grain field, in the evening, many people will gather together to enjoy the coolness, in the past, men always talk about the length of the family, whose women are in the vicinity, whose men are how, but now there are people who are dancing and talking about many military affairs, what railways, what bonds, what Langshan army, what conquest of Tianzhu, although these people always exaggerate, even ridiculous, and even in later generations, if some people listen to it, most of them will have to sarcastically say a few words, you untouchables are not the ruling class, but there is the idea of the ruling class, which is sad and sad. But for Hao Fenglou, it is an extremely remarkable progress.
