"Ahh

Pingshou County, Chensheng Township, is located on the left side of the Ping'an River next to more than 100 acres of irrigated fields.

An old man who was a little crazy sat by the ridge with a dejected face, and suddenly, he shivered, and instinctively sneezed.

"Who's cursing me?!"

Sheng Zhongxian scolded a few words, then continued to squat on the ridge, reluctantly staring at this whole field, which belonged to Jiang Chen's more than 100 acres of fields.

At the right time.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man from the Sheng family approached and sighed:

"Uncle, go back." Diaphragm

"This field is no longer our Sheng family."

Sheng Zhongxian's eyes were still firmly attached to the more than 100 acres of water on the ground in front of him, and he shook his head resolutely.

See this.

The young man said helplessly:

"Alas......"

"As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor, young is capital, why do you provoke a young and strong young man like Jiang Chen?"

"You see, it's only been a few months since it was released, and he has become a dignified Qingzhou hundred generals." Diaphragm

Hear the words.

Sheng Zhongxian couldn't help but explain the reason, explaining:

"I originally wanted to include this riverbank under the name of our Sheng family, there is a word called 'Tian Lianqian Mo', isn't it bold?"

"The whole West River Bank, Tian Lianqian Mo!"

"When I first contacted my colleague in the county town and asked him to send Jiang Chen's kid into the people's team, I kept saying that it was Tian Lianqian Mo, and we have been preparing Tian Lianqian Mo."

"So we thought, as long as it takes twenty days, or twenty-five days, when the Jiang family's boy with thin arms and legs dies on the road, these three acres of land can be naturally included in the name of our Sheng family, hey, the price of our field will rise a lot!"

There has always been a big difference between the price of whole fields and broken fields. Diaphragm

Just because—

Land Sale!

For example, Zhang San's family had five acres of land, and the children in the family needed to go to school, so they sold it to Li Si'er acres of land.

Maybe Li Si needs money urgently one day, but Zhang San has no money in his hand, so he can only resell one of the acres of land to others.

With the passage of time and the frequent buying and selling, the land deeds of the major towns and villages have changed from whole fields to broken fields, from large pieces to small pieces.

In the end, the farmland plots are scattered and intertwined, which is prone to various disputes due to competition for water and fertilizer, and various troubles are also easy to cause in planting and harvesting.

Thereupon. Diaphragm

The price of the whole field is getting higher and higher.

Sometimes, it can even be sold at three times the price of broken land, and only those who own hundreds of acres of land are truly qualified to be called:

"Sir!"

Other words.

Once he swallowed the three acres of watered land under Jiang Chen's name, Sheng Zhongxian could transform himself into a real master of Chen Shengxiang.

But what I never expected.

The person who really became the master was Jiang Chen. Diaphragm

As soon as the Qingzhou soldiers arrived, whether it was the landlord or the merchant family, as long as the landlord himself did not have the Qingzhou soldier status, he could forcibly annex it.

Rebels, die!

"The Qingzhou Army is the biggest master in Qingzhou!"

Sheng Zhongxian's face was sad, and he finally recognized the truth of this world.

No matter how much wealth you have accumulated and how many connections you have accumulated, if you don't have force, you will be a castle in the air.

Although the ancestors of the Sheng family were too wide, there was a thousand commanders, two five hundred masters, and six or seven hundred generals, but those were all tens of hundreds of years ago.

Now. Diaphragm

Only eight or nine young people from the Sheng family successfully held the "Ceremony: Qingyang" and promoted Qingzhou soldiers, but they could barely maintain the family from continuing to decline.

Right now.

Several Qingzhou soldiers strode into the village.

Lang Dao:

"Who are Sheng Yaowu's relatives?"

This scene made many villagers in Chen Sheng Township feel a sense of familiarity, wasn't it the scene when Jiang Chen was promoted to Qingzhou Hundred Generals dozens of days ago?

Soon. Diaphragm

Dozens of Sheng clan members shouted, "I am, I am", what seven aunts and eight aunts, relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, all ran out, wanting to claim the glorious title of "Sheng Yaowu's relatives".

Sure enough.

A young man called "Sheng Yaowu", when he followed the partial general Liu Chuanzhi to conquer the Northern Desert City, the medicinal properties were successfully digested and made great contributions.

Now, he has become a hundred generals in Qingzhou.

"Huh?"

Sheng Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed, the original frustration was swept away, and the whole person was in good spirits, and laughed:

"Okay, our Sheng family also has a hundred generals!" Diaphragm

Between words.

The whole territory of Chen Sheng Township, crackling, the sound of firecrackers, laughter, and slapstick, endlessly, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is a festive atmosphere in an instant.

And the Chen family, as well as the thin Jiang family, mostly chose to close their doors and exclaim their bad luck.

For a while, most of the people in Chen Sheng Township gathered and congratulated the patriarch of the Sheng clan.

"Hahaha, great!"

Sheng Zhongxian suddenly raised his eyebrows, stood up and clenched his fists, and said excitedly:

"That kid from the Jiang family, the family is thin, one has no money, the other has no power, and he can't cross the threshold of five hundred masters even if he dies!" Diaphragm

"But my Sheng family is different, as long as I can produce a sergeant, with the hundreds of years of our Sheng family, no matter what, I can also elevate him to a five hundred masters!"

"If this kid Yaowu fights for luck and becomes a thousand-commander, it is also very possible!"

After speaking.

Sheng Zhongxian made up his mind and took the lead in giving up all his family property, about three thousand taels of silver, anyway, there was no land, and he couldn't keep eighty percent of this money.

With himself taking the lead, the remaining eight or nine hundred people of the Sheng family also have to contribute money and force, and then sell some of the clan property, make up 20,000 taels of silver, and send it to the army!

Such a huge amount of money is enough to help any Qingzhou hundred generals go further.

"I've got it ...... figure."

"Lord County Cheng heard that he has a lot of relations with the Qingzhou Army, and he can use his way to make some connections and help me as soon as possible to promote the Sheng family Qilin'er to the five hundred masters!"

"When the time comes, Yaowu will develop in the army, and I will plan in the local area, be a master together, and be a master!"

Sheng Zhongxian's face was full of excitement and entered the fantasy time.

He continued to imagine:

"The old man surnamed Chen is immortal, he has occupied the position of the third elder of the township for 20 years, he ate a bowl of cold rice a few days ago, he suffered from a cold disease, and now he is terminally ill."

"When Yaowu becomes the five hundred masters, this position should also be done by me!"

The three elders of the township are the township officials established by the Han Dynasty. Diaphragm

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu ordered each township to place three elders and one person, called the three elders of the township, which needed to be served by people who were more than 50 years old, virtuous, and able to be handsome and good.

The third elder of Chen Sheng Township is served by an old man surnamed Chen, who is close to his old age.

It was also the "old man surnamed Chen who is immortal" in Sheng Zhongxian's mouth, who deprived Sheng Zhongxian of more than 100 acres of watering land and handed it over to Jiang Chen.

But the next moment.

This wonderful illusion bursts at the touch of a beautiful bubble like a beautiful bubble......

Distance.

Entrance to Chensheng Township. Diaphragm

Under the big locust tree.

A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly on the country road, but the special thing was that there were ten cavalry and more than 20 servants around, hugging in front and back, guarding the left and right.

Obviously, the position of the owner in the ox cart is not simple.

A moment later.

The carriage stopped in the shade of a large locust tree.

The curtain was lifted, and out came a man about fifty years old, wearing a high crown, although he was slightly old-looking, but his face was white and clean, and there was a beautiful beard under his chin, giving people a feeling of extraordinary bearing.

In Kyushu, beard has always been a sign of men. Diaphragm

For example, if he has a pair of slender hair, then this person is probably as virtuous and respectable as Guan Erye;

If he has a bearded beard, then this person is probably as short-tempered as Zhang Sanye;

If you have a sparse goatee, most of you can't get rid of the sour smell of poverty;

And if he has two whiskers, it is certain that this person likes to be clever and has a low realm......

The moment the man in Chinese clothes stepped out of the carriage, his extremely characteristic hair made Sheng Zhongxian recognize this person.

"Lord Xiancheng?"

Sheng Zhongxian chuckled in his heart, and there was always an ominous premonition that haunted his heart, but he still secretly comforted himself and said: Ah

"I have also met with the county lord a few times, maybe I saw that my Sheng family came out of Qingzhou Baijiang again, and came to congratulate me?"

Think of it.

Sheng Zhongxian couldn't help but be a little bold, and was ready to get up to greet Shangguan.

Many villagers also weakened their legs, knelt on the ground in unison, and shouted:

"Kowtow to the county lord!"

And at this time.

Jiang Chen's uncle, Jiang Fengfan, was also alarmed. Diaphragm

He hurriedly rushed out of the door, and when he saw the legendary county prince, he couldn't help but tremble, and instinctively knelt down.

It was a surprise.

Seeing this situation, the county Cheng burst out with deep blood, and in just a moment, he quickly stepped dozens of steps, came to Jiang Fengfan, held the hands of the old farmer, and said with a smile:

"According to my David's rules, as the third elder of the township, you don't need to bow down when you see me."

Jiang was stunned:

"When did I become the third elder?"

The county man laughed and flattered: "Ah."

"From this day forward, you are."

said.

He waved his hand.

The two officials took out a document from the package, which was clearly stamped with the seal of the county order, and appointed "Jiang Fengfan from Pingshou County" as the third elder of Chen Sheng Township.

Connection.

Nearly 2,000 people in the township were babbling.

The three or four hundred people of the Chen family couldn't understand why they lost their position as a township official although their old man was terminally ill, but he was not dead. Diaphragm

The Sheng family of eight or nine hundred people, almost all of whom were present, made a fuss, obviously their own Qiliner "Sheng Yaowu" became a hundred generals in Qingzhou, why did the position of the three elders of the township fall into the hands of the thin surname Jiang?

There are only a few dozen people surnamed Jiang, and they are also at a loss.

Until this time.

Jiang Fengfan was holding the paperwork in his hand, still looking confused, he couldn't figure it out, he was just an ordinary farmer, how could He De become the new third elder of the township?

And then.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Jiang Fengfan's mind, and he said in surprise: "Isn't it my nephew, Jiang Chen, who made any movement again?" ”

The county nodded with a smile and waved his hand. Diaphragm

The two cavalrymen in green armor turned over and dismounted, took out a crimson silk book from their pockets, and said in an urn voice:

"Congratulations, your nephew Jiang Chen, who accompanied the Western Army to the east and the west, made great contributions, and was awarded the title of five hundred lords of Qingzhou, and his rank was higher than the seven grades!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like hot water poured into the oil pot, and it exploded Chen Shengxiang to boil in the sky, and the exclamations continued.

David came from the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, and the soldiers and generals had great power and status, so they established the country by force.

Military attachés are generally inflated in rank, while civilian officials are inferior and powerful.

If the county order is a part-time county lieutenant, it is a positive six products.

But if a county commander does not have the strong force of a part-time county lieutenant, and he is powerless, even if he has the talent to govern the place, he is often only a vassal of the county lieutenant, and he only has seven grades. Diaphragm

The David-Wu Dynasty also has an unspoken rule, if a civil official fails to promote a military pawn of any sequence, no matter how intelligent he is, he will stop at the seventh rank throughout his life.

In other words.

The five hundred lords of Qingzhou, although their actual power is inferior, their status on the surface is already on an equal footing with some county orders!

In fact.

This is also the real reason why Sheng Zhongxian would rather sell his family property and spend 20,000 taels of silver, but also promote his family member Sheng Yaowu to five hundred masters.

The weight of the martial profession is too heavy!

Just the words "Jiang Chen was promoted to the title of five hundred masters" were enough to make the county Cheng personally go to the countryside to feed the illiterate farmer Jiang Jiang and send him the post of "three elders of the township". Diaphragm

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Suddenly, in the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.

Everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be the former tax collector Sheng Zhongxian.

Sheng Zhongxian was immersed in a beautiful fantasy time, where was he willing to believe that Jiang Chen could be promoted to the title of five hundred lords in just a few dozen days?

His eyes were red, and he said in disbelief:

"In late October, Jiang Chen's kid only became a hundred generals, how could he have made great achievements in just a few dozen days?"

"Fake, it must be fake!" Diaphragm

said.

Sheng Zhongxian was like a drunkard, acting a little crazy, and he actually reached out in public to grab the silk book of "Jiang Chen was promoted to five hundred masters".

"Look for death!"

Xian Cheng snorted coldly, his whole body was full of blood, and he stretched out his hand to slap Sheng Zhongxian's face.

hit Sheng Zhongxian like a spinning top, and he turned several times in succession before he fainted.

Xian Cheng stared at the surrounding Sheng clan people, and said coldly:

"I forgot to say that the five hundred masters of Jiang won the Qingzhou Army's commendation, and the land annexed is Chen Shengxiang, the field of your Sheng family." Diaphragm

As soon as the words fell.

The hundreds of people of the Sheng clan around were silent for a moment, and their cold, silent gaze fell on Sheng Zhongxian.

In the midst of thousands of cold or sneering eyes.

Sheng Zhongxian sat on the ground in a daze, laughed strangely, and finally went crazy.

…………

It's night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high. Diaphragm

A madman called "Sheng Zhongxian" died quietly in his sleep.

"Did it happen on purpose, or did it happen accidentally?"

"Or is it an acquaintance?"

Nobody knows.

There has never been a Sheng family report to the official.

…………

Jiang Chen stood on the high place of Beijiao Mountain, scanning the four realms, not knowing that the tax collector who had bullied him in the past had been half a month ago

"What a thousand people are referring to, they will end up without a problem!"

Beijiaoshan is named because there are dragons infested all year round, but most people think that it is a folk chisel association, and mistakenly regard the dryland tornado as a dragon.

It wasn't until the moment when the three dragons died that the world knew that it was not a legend, but a real one:

"If there is a Jiao, it will be named!"

But now.

On the periphery of this huge mountain range, there are 2,000 Qingzhou soldiers, who have laid a net of heaven and earth, waiting for the remnants of the Loulan capital to jump here.
