The old man was embarrassed to answer, and then the latter looked at Song Nan and the others with puffed eyes, and shouted, "You still don't want people to live?" ”

Song Nan squinted his eyes and said: "If people want to live a nourishing life, they don't rely on people's charity, but they have to fight for themselves; You are also a young man with strong blood, why don't you say it happily, but you shrink your head and brain. ”

Then Hou Sheng said angrily: "Is it useful to say it? You are all all along the way, and you are just working together to oppress our people. ”

Song Nan said: "I just got the real estate here, and I don't know how it was before, how can I say that I am a partnership?" ”

Ye Fanggu said: "My son-in-law is not a mean person, it is good for you to say it, otherwise you have to take back the field and let others cultivate it." ”

The latter gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just say it." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Ping'er, no." ”

Hou Sheng said: "Dad, I can't live anymore, so it's better to say it happily." ”

The old man sighed, squatted aside, took out his cigarette pouch, and smoked it, his face full of sorrow and worry.

Song Nan said: "Say, tell me why you are so poor, it is said that each household rents dozens of acres of paddy fields to cultivate, and after paying the rent, there should be a lot of surplus, and life should be good." ”

The latter said, "Boss, don't you see anything when you come out of that Wan Jue's house? ”

Song Nan said: "I don't know him, and I don't know his details, but it seems that his family business is not small." ”

Hou Sheng sneered: "It's all our blood and sweat that raises this hungry wolf." ”

Song Nan said: "What do you say? ”

Hou Sheng said: "Did Wan Jue tell the owner about renting?" ”

Song Nan said: "Naturally, I originally planned to let him continue to do things for me, after all, he is familiar with these affairs." ”

Hou Sheng said: "What is the yield of rice per mu? ”

Song Nan said: "Two stones, five or six, our fields here are fertile, I think it should be about the same." ”

Hou Sheng sneered and asked, "Then what did he say about collecting rent?" ”

Song Nan said: "In addition to the official tax of one bucket, pay the rent of one stone, I will calculate, so that you can have a balance of four or five buckets of one stone per mu, dozens of acres of land, and there should be a grain balance of seventy or eighty stones a year." ”

The latter laughed, bowed his waist like a shrimp and said: "According to what you say, wouldn't we have an income of dozens of taels of silver every year, if so, why are we still wearing tattered clothes, living in a broken grass house, all of them are yellow and thin, and we have already become the landlord of the land." ”

Song Nan said: "This is also my question. ”

Hou Sheng sneered: "Then I will tell you, the yield per mu of this land is less than two stones, and the official will pay one bucket, Wan Jue will collect one stone and six stones, and each household will have a surplus of four or five buckets of land for one acre of land for a year, and it will only be more than twenty stones of grain in a year, and it will only be more than ten taels of silver." ”

Song Nan exclaimed: "Less than two stones per mu? Why did Wan Jue collect one stone and six stones? ”

Hou Sheng sneered: "The yield is so much, we can't help it, the ground here looks fertile, and there is a sour smell when it turns, and the soil quality is different from other places; As for why Wan Jue received one stone six, isn't that obvious? Give the owner a stone, and the remaining six buckets are his own, otherwise do you think his high-rise mansion compound is paper-paste? Are the vicious dogs in the house raised on dung? ”

Song Nan frowned and said nothing, things are basically clear, Wan Jue has been operating here for more than ten years, and this kind of rule has been formed from Fan Heng's hands, anyway, the rule set by Fan Heng is to collect one stone of grain per mu, he only needs to hand over the rent of the owner, and the excess part will all fall into his own pocket.

A rough calculation, six buckets per mu, six or seven hundred acres of paddy fields can get three or four hundred stone of rice a year, every year Wan Jue alone will receive nearly two hundred taels of silver, plus the part given by the owner, it is not difficult to understand why he eats a brain full of fat and lives in a high-rise mansion compound.

The latter said sadly and indignantly: "Do you think we are willing to rent sixty or seventy acres of land per household? There are eight people in the family, young and old, and when the farming time comes, the whole family gets up early and works in the dark, and the tired bones and legs are too busy to be busy; Look at my father, who is nearly seventy years old, and should have been living for a long time, but he also had to come out to help with the farming; My seven-year-old child has to come out to help, and if I plant an extra rice with a pair of little hands, I will have an extra bite to eat. All year round, the whole family is tired and tired, and they can't leave a few taels of silver, what do you say we are for? ”

Song Nan frowned and was silent, but Ye Fanggu was already in tears.

"Forget it, it's useless to tell you, you are all the same people, and you won't care if we live or die; If you hadn't forced me to say it, I wouldn't have said this nonsense. The latter turned around and helped the old man to walk back slowly.

Ye Fanggu watched Song Nan pull his sleeve, Song Nan patted her hand for comfort, and said loudly: "This brother, since you know that Wan Jue is deprived of it, why don't you tell the original owner to denounce him?" ”

Then Housheng stopped and sneered: "Is it useful? The original proprietor didn't care whether we lived or died at all, as long as he paid the rent, how could he take care of the next things; Besides, Wan Jue's family is powerful, and his son is said to be an official in the capital; It's not that no one in the village has exposed him, but what is the result? The acres of land were recovered, and the family couldn't even eat, so didn't they kneel down and beg Wan Jue for forgiveness in the end? Now no one dares to offend Wan Jue inside and outside, he let the vicious dog bite people without paying the rent, and the old Yang family can't pay the rent at the end of the year, so Wan Jue forced Lao Yang to take the daughter as a mortgage, and the daughter of the Yang family, Xi'er, was ruined by this dog thief, Lao Yang was angry and hanged himself, but Wan Jue still lived a nourishing life. ”

With tears in his eyes, he stared at Song Nan and the others with angry eyes, as if this qiē was also related to Song Nan and them.

Song Nan's heart was shocked, he never expected that such a tragic thing would happen in an ordinary village, it can be seen how the contradictions of the Ming Dynasty have accumulated, this is the case with a Wanjiazhuang, such a tragedy in thousands of villages must not be very numerous, the people's livelihood is difficult, bullies are rampant, and the officials above are busy competing for power and wealth looting, in this case, how can the world be peaceful; It is no wonder that the news of the civil unrest was received everywhere, and the officers and soldiers of the local guard posts were busy suppressing it, but they did not know the root cause, and it was useless to suppress it alone.

"Brother's name."

The latter said vigilantly: "Do you want to take me?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "No, I want to help you, I will follow you into the village, you gather the whole village at the entrance of the village, and I will seek justice for you." ”

Hou Sheng said: "No, no, no, although you are the owner, you don't know how powerful this Wan Qi is, his son is an official in Beijing, if you don't use him as a manager, he will find a way to make your field unharvested, or teach people to deal with you." ”

Ye Fanggu said: "Does he have this ability?" Do you know who my son-in-law is? ”

Hou Sheng said: "What kind of person?" ”

Ye Fanggu said: "It's a big official who specializes in punishing bad people, does Jinyiwei know?" ”

Hou Sheng's face changed drastically and said: "How don't you know, the owner ...... The owner is Jinyiwei? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi Zhen Fu Envoy, thousands of Jinyi Wei are under my control, not to mention a local tyrant, even if it is a minister in Beijing, I am not afraid." ”

Hou Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that the owner is the one in charge of the big officials, now it's okay, Dad, the owner is going to support us." ”

The old man's face was gloomy, and he sighed: "Hey, you bastard, what's the use of what you say? Disaster is coming for our family. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said, "Uncle, don't be afraid; Let's go, let's go to the village. ”

Then the latter said, "What about the rest of you? I'm afraid that a few of you won't succeed, Wan Jue's vicious dogs are fierce. ”

Ye Fanggu said coldly: "What are a few dogs, this girl is still afraid that they won't do it, as long as they dare to do it, this girl just has a reason to kill them." ”

Hou Sheng looked at Song Nan in a panic, and saw that Song Nan and the other three had no fear on their faces, they were bold and strong, and said with their chests straight: "That is the case, my Wan Dabao is not a coward, Dad, don't be afraid, if you survive like this, sooner or later you will die, it is better to believe them once." ”

The old man stomped his feet again and again, but he was helpless.

That Wan Dabao took Song Nan and others to the village, and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they obviously felt that the atmosphere was not right, and a few short-clothed families stood at the entrance of the village and seemed to be waiting for a few people to arrive.

"Wan Dabao, Wan Laofu, Master Wan invites the two of you to go to his house for a while." A family member stepped forward and shouted at Wan Dabao and his son.

Wan Dabao's face turned pale and turned his head to look at Song Nan, Song Nan frowned and shouted, "Call your master to come to see me." ”

Seeing that Song Nan was angry, the family hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Song Dongjia, these mud-legged people are cheap-mouthed, and they can't listen to anything, my lord has set up a banquet in the mansion, and invited Song Dongjia to have a few drinks, don't believe the nonsense of this group of mud-legged people, they can't wait to just farm the land and not pay rent." ”

Song Nan shouted: "Don't I have a brain? Do you want to teach? I still have other things to do, don't bother you waiting. ”

As soon as the family Ding squeezed his eyes, the rest of the family members stepped forward and dragged Wan Dabao's father and son away, and Ye Fanggu said coquettishly: "Let them go." ”

The family Ding sneered: "Master Song, honestly collect your rent, why bother to make trouble." ”

Song Nan said coldly: "Aunt Fang, it's up to you." ”

Ye Fanggu flew out when she heard this, her body rose into the air at the point of her toes, and she kicked three times in a row, and the three family members were each hit by a kick in the chest, and they flew away, holding their chests and unable to speak.

The leading family Ding said angrily: "Song Dong's family doesn't give face? ”

Song Nan scolded: "Give you face? Dog stuff. With that, he stepped forward and slapped him twice.

The housekeeper scolded angrily, turned around and ran towards the village, shouting, "Wait, you fucking wait for me." ”

Song Nan ignored it, turned his head and said to the stunned father and son: "Can you relieve your anger this time?" Go and gather the villagers to gather at the entrance of the village, I have something important to announce. ”

The old man was stunned and said, "They ...... They're calling for helpers. ”

Song Nan said: "It's okay, I'm afraid that they won't come, even if your father and son go to do something, things have come to this point, if you don't listen to my orders, you won't be able to live in peace after I leave." ”

The latter shouted: "What I said is that the villain will go to gather the villagers, Daddy, you follow the Song Dong family and them, I am fast." ”

The old man's face was full of horror, and he looked at Song Nan and said, "The owner, you can't hurt us." ”

Uncle Zhong stepped forward to support the old man and said, "Brother, you can relax and let you see the methods of my young master." ”
