In fact, in Xinghua County, it is not only the Xu family manor that has achieved a bumper harvest.

Because this year's wind and rain are still smooth, coupled with the promotion of a large number of high-yield crops, the entire Xinghua County has achieved a bumper grain harvest this year.

There has been a good situation that has not been seen in the past few decades.

Families were piled up with surplus food.

It's just that compared with the Xu family manor, the land of those landlords, the land of a small number of self-cultivated farmers, the grain output increase is generally only two or three percent, even if high-yield varieties are used, the highest yield per mu of rice is only four or five stones, and the yield per mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes is only a dozen stones, which already makes them laugh and lose their eyes.

But what about the Xu family manor?

Rice yields 10 stone per mu.

The yield of potatoes per mu is more than 40 stones.

The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is more than 30 stones.

With a total of only 60,000 acres of land, more than 1.27 million stone of grain is produced.

The 11 Xujia manors, which cover a total area of about 150,000 mu, have harvested more than 40 percent of the grain with less than one-sixth of the cultivated area.

With the population of 148,000 registered in the Xu Family Manor, the staple grain harvested in August alone can be divided into as much as 8.58 stone per person, which is equivalent to 536.25 kilograms per capita, which is enough to eat well.

And such a dazzling harvest results, the Xu family manor did not hide it, but publicized it widely, held a grand celebration, commended and rewarded the good performance of the villagers, selected hundreds of model workers, rewarded 50 silver dollars, a set of brick houses, and 20 catties of meat, and called on all the villagers to learn from them.

Zhang Gufeng, who drove the harvester for 15 days in a row and only rested for an average of six hours a day, stood among the representatives of these model workers, holding the honorary certificate of the model worker and the real estate certificate in his hand, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten when he heard the applause from the audience and the cheers of his family.

He felt that his life was getting more and more promising, and suddenly felt that he was still young, that he should live longer, work hard to get more model worker certificates, and bring a better life to his family.

Among the countless audiences in the audience, many yeoman farmers and tenant farmers of landlords who came to see the surrounding area of the lively manor were envious one by one, and chattered in private and heated discussions:

"I knew it was so good to join the manor, and I should have applied to join."

"I've fallen for Li Juren! He said that the collective estate was a conspiracy, and after joining, all the fields would be returned to the estate, and all the silver would be collected, and he had to work hard for the estate, which was harder than cattle and horses, which was equivalent to selling himself into slavery, who knows...... I was deceived by Li Juren! ”

"Originally, I was going to sell the land to the manor, but Song Xiucai asked me to dedicate it to him, saying that he would only charge me 30% of the rent, and slandered that he had joined Xujiazhuang...... Song Xiucai, a dog day, deceived me like this! ”

"Now I apply to join Xujiazhuang, I don't know if I can agree? I regret it, it's better to join the manor, I was confused, I just didn't want to sell the land, hey! The man slapped himself on the head and repented of his mistake.

"The Xu family manor is not something that you can join if you want to join, it was the manor who begged you before, and now it is useless for you to beg the manor, at least during this time, the manor will not expand." The farmer explained, with his chin raised.

"Can it be accommodating?"

"Li Juren harmed me from joining Xujiazhuang, I want to fight with him!"

"Song Xiucai, this dog day, I want him to compensate for the loss that I can't join the manor!"

"The words of these readers are all lies, and we must no longer trust them."

These peasants immediately gritted their teeth with hatred for those talented and well-behaved masters.

……

Xinghua County, the county government yamen.

The good news of Xujiazhuang's bumper agricultural harvest and the harvest of millions of stones of grain is boiling in Xinghua County, and it is also well known in Yangzhou Prefecture, which has aroused heated discussions.

Naturally.

This news inevitably reached the ears of Xin Shiqi of Xinzhi County, Xinghua County (the previous county commander Huang Yi has been promoted to another party).

Inside the conference room.

"Congratulations, my lord, Xujiazhuang has a bumper harvest, this year's autumn tax in this county, it will be completed in full, and you will get the best exam!"

Cheng Yunpeng, the main bookkeeper, congratulated the county order sitting at the top.

"I heard that the owner of Xujiazhuang is a talent, rich and rival the country, and there should be a lot of backers, if he comes to urge the department, he will obediently pay grain and taxes?"

Xin Shiqi was very calm, and was not carried away by any bumper harvest, but swept everyone with triangular eyes and asked.

"Lord Zhixian, Xujiazhuang is very well-behaved, and the amount of tax prescribed by the state will be paid in full, and someone will be sent to the county office, and an additional silver will be given to the adult, even if only the Xujiazhuang family pays grain and taxes this year, you can also get the best test!"

Sun Gui, the county who knew the local situation best, immediately got up and reported.

"Oh, how many are there?" Xin Shiqi asked.

"This is a good calculation, Xujiazhuang produces 1.27 million stones, according to the tax of 30 taxes and nine centimeters of silver (0.9%), 53,763 stones of grain need to be paid, Xujiazhuang has more than 60,000 registered men, each person pays a penny of silver, you can get more than 6,000 taels of silver, and the quota of the autumn tax in our county is 50,000 stones, 8,064 taels of silver, as long as Xujiazhuang pays the money and grain, and then levies a little, you can complete the quota, and even exceed a lot."

Cheng Yunpeng, the main bookkeeper, exerted his professional ability, calculated on the spot, he smiled, as if he had seen the scene of making a fortune, after all, the quota was basically completed, wouldn't the rest be more levy, how much they would net earn?

Fat difference, big fat difference.

It was in vain that Lord Xin went bankrupt and threw down 30,000 taels before he sat on the position of the Xinghua County Order.

Seeing that his subordinates were all happy, Xin Shiqi still didn't move, but asked about Xu Yuan, the owner of Xu Village, what is his identity and what is his background?

Overseas wealthy businessmen.

There are no roots and no roots in the local area, no relatives and no support.

It was only last year that he won the fame of Xiucai.

Although he has made many friends with big businessmen in the business world, he really has no connections in officialdom.

In addition, there are many Xujia Zhuang Ding, extremely sophisticated, practicing firearms every day, and also inviting people to buy people's hearts, playing the trick of big fights and small fights, and there is a suspicion of plotting rebellion.

"Smack!"

Xin Shiqi slapped the table, and his triangular eyes released a snake-like ghostly light: "Xu Jiazhuang is unpredictable and bold!" If it is not exterminated, it will become a great disaster for the country in the future, and the three classes of servants will be immediately convened to discuss how to exterminate Xujiazhuang. ”

"Your Excellency!"

Sun Gui was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Although Xu Jiazhuang has ill intentions, he has not yet revealed his negative form, and we have not collected enough evidence of the crime, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

Cheng Yunpeng, the main bookkeeper, also hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, this matter must not be impatient!" Really forced Xujiazhuang to rebel, the matter is big, the sin of 'forcing the good people' will definitely fall on our heads, please think twice, for Xujiazhuang, you still have to slowly figure it out. ”

"Hahaha, the official didn't say that he would take someone to level Xujiazhuang, you guys are too worried."

Xin Shiqi smiled, and changed his words: "The official just sent them to Xujiazhuang to urge grain to pay taxes, they only need to pay 300,000 stone of grain, 500,000 taels of tax silver, and not a single cent!" In addition, a few people were sent to the state capital, to Nanjing to command the envoys, to contact some noble officials, and said that the rich and invincible Xujiazhuang merged with the land to resist taxes, trained thousands of families, and plotted to rebel, if it was not taken as soon as possible, it would become a monstrous disaster! The official thinks that there should not be a few adults who will stand on the side of overseas wealthy businessmen. ”

Airplanes~

At this time, Cheng Yunpeng, Sun Gui and others all understood Xin Shiqi's plan.

The pig in Xujiazhuang was already fattened and was ready to be slaughtered, so Master Xin decided to be the pig killer.

The excuse is that Xujiazhuang resists taxes.

The pig-killing knife was borrowed from the Nanjing Metropolitan Command Envoy.

The person who divides the meat can be a member of the DPRK and the Central Committee, or a Nanjing noble, in short, for Xujiazhuang, a fat pig who has no big backing, I believe that there must be many people who want to divide the meat.

Poison.

It's too vicious.

Poisoned to Cheng Yunpeng, Sun Gui and others, their backs were full of cold sweat, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Xin Shiqi's triangular eyes, and also realized that no matter 300,000 stone grain and 500,000 taels of silver, whether Xu Jiazhuang was willing to take it out, as long as he was targeted by Lord Xin, Xu Jiazhuang would be finished sooner or later, and if he didn't want to rebel, he would have to rebel!
