The Bai family.

Lu San's face was happy: "Shaodong, thanks to Xiaoqiang, otherwise, our grain would have been detained." ”

"Yes, if the grain is transported to the county seat, it will definitely be detained." Bai Jiaxuan was also a little lucky.

The grain to be sold in Bailu Village was not transported to the county seat, but was sold to Zhou Qiang.

Not only that, but the grain from several nearby villages was also sold to Zhou Qiang to avoid being robbed.

The grain from other villages, transported to the county seat, was robbed by the soldiers.

The statement given: It's time to pay the public grain. In addition, this year's deficit will be made up for three more truckloads of grain.

(Why is there a deficit, and the people have to pay for the grain?)

What is the shortfall?

Is this incident written in "White Deer Plain" also a common phenomenon in other eras?

There should be a lot of similar things, in fact, I can associate many scenes. ）

Every village has to pay public grain, and in addition, it has to pay three or more truckloads of grain.

With so much food handed over at once, the common people can't survive.

What if you can't survive?

can only flee into the mountains, or the government forces the people to rebel, and there is no other way out.

"Young owner, do we want to pay the public grain?"

"The public grain should be paid, but we can't pay the additional grain."

"Yes, if you pay so much food, you won't have anything to eat."

At this time, Lu Zilin came.

"Jiaxuan, Tian Fuxian is here, I want to see you."

"Tian Fuxian?" Bai Jiaxuan is not familiar with Tian Fuxian.

Tian Fuxian is a native of Bailu Plain.

has been messing around in the county.

Now, I don't know whose relationship I climbed, and I have become the dog leg of the county official.

Return to Bailuyuan to collect grain, fish and meat neighbors.

"Tian Fuxian is the one who, his hometown is here." Lu Zilin pulled Bai Jiaxuan away.

Ancestral temple.

Tian Fuxian was waiting here, and he also brought two people with guns.

Tian Fuxian is slightly older than Bai Jiaxuan, with a medium build, and his appearance and temperament can be seen as a dog's leg.

"Fuxian, this is Bai Jiaxuan." Lu Zilin introduced.

"The contemptible Tian Fuxian, who is also our original, is now an envoy in the county seat."

A few people exchanged a few words.

"I'm sure you've all heard about the requisition.

This is the prestige of the two of you.

Please help the two of you to ring the gong and collect food. Tian Fuxian also carried two gongs in his hand and handed them to Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin.

"It's okay to pay the public grain, which is no problem, but we don't have the three truckloads of grain to be paid." Bai Jiaxuan directly singled out and said.

"This." Tian Fuxian hesitated, "Jiaxuan, I'll open the skylight and say something."

A while ago, Fang Sheng, the dog thief, also fought back with Qing soldiers.

Now is not the time for peace.

You still have to cut back and make some contribution to the revolution, right? ”

Tian Fuxian looked at Bai Jiaxuan after speaking, but Bai Jiaxuan didn't say a word and didn't reply.

"This" Lu Zilin answered, "If there is another war, everyone has to flee, and they should make some contributions." ”

"It's okay to contribute, but there's not that much food. If you really want to pay so much food, everyone will starve to death. Bai Jiaxuan's tone was not very good.

Previously, the Qing army attacked Chang'an City.

Before the battle was fought, there were already so many victims.

Therefore, Bai Jiaxuan did not want to have any more military disasters.

However, if you have to pay so much food, you don't need a military disaster, and everyone will have no way to live.

This is where the contradiction comes in.

Perhaps, the rich should be allowed to contribute more, rather than the common people to pay more.

Rich people pay more, that is, it affects the deposit figures.

If you don't have money, you pay more, it's a matter of life and death.

In fact, the same is true for encouraging consumption.

Rich people should still be encouraged to spend more.

If you don't have money, you just want to spend, and you don't have money to spend.

But rich people don't pay more, and they don't spend more.

They may also ask: Why should we pay more and spend more?

Without further ado, let's get down to business.

Tian Fuxian hurriedly said: "No, no, just pay three more truckloads of grain, everyone can make it together, and you can always make it up."

By the way, isn't there a man named Zhou Qiang in your village?

I heard that he still has a shop in the provincial capital and has made a lot of money, so let him pay more. ”

Tian Fuxian hit Zhou Qiang with the idea.

This is also what Lu Zilin reminded.

Zhou Qiang has a good life and earns a lot of money every month.

made Lu Zilin envious.

Lu Zilin was thinking about how to pit Zhou Qiang.

"Why do you want Zhou Qiang to make more friends?" Bai Jiaxuan didn't agree, "Besides, he's only a half-old child, so he didn't bully people like this."

Again, the public grain can be paid, but the supplementary grain is not. ”

Bai Jiaxuan finished speaking and left.

Tian Fuxian and Lu Zilin were left, and their faces were a little unsightly.

Lu Zilin's eyes rolled, and bad water bubbled out of his stomach, "Fuxian, that Zhou Qiang is here, do you want to go to his house to have a look?" His family sells cooked food and wine, which tastes good. ”

"Then go check it out." Tian Fuxian also wanted to go to Zhou Qiang's house to fight the autumn breeze, and by the way, asked Zhou Qiang to donate money and food.

Of course, with the money and food donated, Tian Fuxian can be greedy for a lot.

A moment later.

Zhou Qiang's house.

Tian Fuxian, Lu Zilin, and two people carrying guns came together.

"Xiaoqiang, come, let me introduce to you, this is from our county, Tian Fuxian, Chief Tian."

"Tian Fuxian? I haven't heard of it, but I've met the county magistrate Shi of Zishui County. As soon as Zhou Qiang saw Lu Zilin and a few people coming, he probably guessed what was going on.

Zhou Qiang also heard about the grain requisition.

Tian Fuxian, this guy, wants to 'help the abuse' and 'suck the blood of his neighbors'.

Therefore, Zhou Qiang is ready to brighten his muscles.

"What? Have you met County Magistrate Shi? Tian Fuxian was a little surprised.

"Yes, I'm in the liquor shop in the provincial capital, not far from the governor's palace.

The gun-bearers in the Doge's Mansion often come to me to buy wine.

I also go to the Doge's Palace.

Once, I went to the Governor's Mansion to deliver wine and meat, and saw County Magistrate Shi doing business in the Governor's Mansion, and I chatted with County Magistrate Shi for a few words.

This governor's palace, I have lived before, and the road is familiar.

There were a lot of gun-bearers in there, I knew them, and we used to eat meat and drink wine together.

I have also met and spoken to the Governor.

The Governor is a kind man. "Zhou Qiang's east sentence and west sentence are not coherent.

But the meaning was expressed.

Tian Fuxian also heard what was going on.

There are people in the Governor's Mansion that Zhou Qiang knows.

Zhou Qiang also spoke to the governor.

It's not ordinary, it's very unusual.

Zhou Qiang is not easy to mess with, he can't afford to provoke!

"It turns out that your liquor shop is near the Governor's Palace, it's good, it's good." Tian Fuxian was a little embarrassed. He was going to play with his majesty. But before I started playing, I was scared back.

"Are you here to buy wine or meat? I'll give you a cheaper price. "Zhou Qiang is very enthusiastic.

"This, some wine and meat." Tian Fuxian responded casually.

"Okay." Zhou Qiang neatly slapped some wine and cut a piece of meat, "Recently, the price of wine and meat has risen, I'll make it cheaper for you, give"

"What? So expensive? It wasn't that price last time. Lu Zilin knew that the price was high as soon as he heard it.

"Yes, I said, the price has increased, and I'm still cheap." Zhou Qiang smiled slightly, revealing his snow-white teeth.

Tian Fuxian took out the money, gave it to Zhou Qiang, and left with wine and meat.

"Fuxian, why did you leave like this?" Lu Zilin chased after him and asked.

"Zilin, Zhou Qiang has lived in the Governor's Palace?" Tian Fuxian asked rhetorically.

"Oh, yes. As for the matter of Fang Sheng's last time, didn't Mr. Zhu go to retreat from the Qing Army.

Zhou Qiang and Bai Jiaxuan went to the provincial capital.

Then, Bai Jiaxuan followed Mr. Zhu to the Qing army camp.

Zhou Qiang lived in the Governor's Mansion and waited for news. ”

Tian Fuxian hurriedly asked, "Bai Jiaxuan also went to the Qing army camp?" ”

"Yes, Bai Jiaxuan went with Mr. Zhu."

"So, the Governor also knows Bai Jiaxuan?"

"Yes, Bai Jiaxuan has seen the Governor."

Tian Fuxian was silent.

He didn't expect that in a small Bailu Village, several people had seen the governor and talked to the governor.

"Fuxian, in fact, this is nothing, I also saw the governor, but I didn't speak." Lu Zilin's words stimulated Tian Fuxian again.

Although Tian Fuxian had been to the provincial capital several times, he had never met the governor.

Seeing that Tian Fuxian didn't speak, Lu Zilin then asked: "Fuxian, what should I do about the grain requisition?" ”

"There is no urgency to collect grain, let's collect from other villages first." Tian Fuxian was a little unsure of his idea, and he didn't dare to forcibly requisition the grain from Bailu Village.

Tian Fuxian didn't stay long, had a meal at Lu Zilin's house, and left.

Went to other villages to collect food.

Bailu Village will wait and so on.

Not a few days.

Tian Fuxian came to Bailu Village again to collect grain.

Because, other villages have opinions, why don't they levy grain from Bailu Village?

Therefore, Tian Fuxian had to come to Bailu Village to collect grain, and he couldn't take care of anything else.

Similarly, there was too much grain to be levied, which suddenly caused a backlash from the villagers of Bailu Village.

A group of people came to Bai Jiaxuan's house, looked for Bai Bingde, and asked Bai Bingde to take the lead in making trouble.

Bai Bingde is not stupid, he knows that the gun shoots the first bird.

If it doesn't work out, the leader will be settled by the autumn queen, so Bai Bingde refused.

But Bai Jiaxuan's eyes lit up.

He is to take the lead.

He felt that it was okay to break into the camp last time, and it would be okay to take the lead in making trouble this time.

So, in the middle of the night.

Bai Jiaxuan just got up and was about to use the chicken feather letter to contact people to make trouble.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the Bai family.

There was also a chicken feather letter stuffed in.

"Who?" Bai Jiaxuan asked in a low voice.

"The goods have arrived!" Someone replied.

Bai Jiaxuan was shocked when he heard this, he understood what was going on in an instant.

Chicken feather post!

The words "the goods have arrived" are the code.

This is when the bandits were fierce in the past, the villagers of ten miles and eight towns went up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

The chicken feather letters are in the hands of the village chiefs, and they are usually placed in the ancestral hall.

This is the patriarch of another village passing on the chicken feather letter.

Bai Jiaxuan didn't expect that someone would use the chicken feather letter earlier. (Other villages were requisitioned earlier, and some people couldn't wait and took the lead.) In the TV series, the person who takes the lead is Bai Jiaxuan. ）

Bai Jiaxuan didn't say anything.

He walked to the door and picked up the feather letter, but did not open the door or the envelope because there was no letter inside.

The people outside seemed to hear the movement, and said again: "Jiaonong uprising, Sanguan Temple, before noon tomorrow, three gongzi will sound as a trumpet." ”

"Got it." Bai Jiaxuan replied softly.

Footsteps outside rang out.

The messenger is gone.

"Who's the head?" Bai Jiaxuan pondered and returned to the house.

"Jiaxuan, what's wrong? What's wrong? Xiancao hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, you can sleep."

"What's in your hand?" Xiancao saw the chicken feather letter.

"Nothing." Bai Jiaxuan hid the letter.

"It's a chicken feather letter, right?" The fairy grass was unexpectedly broken.

Bai Jiaxuan was taken aback, "How do you know?" ”

"I heard my dad say that. Jiaxuan, what did Ji Maoxin say? ”

Bai Jiaxuan hesitated, knowing that he couldn't hide it, "Someone wants to hand over the farmer." ”

"Jiao Nong's uprising? Is it because of the levy of grain? ”

"Yes, Tian Fuxian came to collect grain, but there were too many levies, and everyone had no way to live."

"Jiaxuan, our family's food, even if it is handed over, it is enough to eat, so don't make trouble." Xiancao didn't want Bai Jiaxuan to make trouble, because the people who made trouble had no good end since ancient times.

Bai Jiaxuan thought about it, shook his head and said, "I can't help but do this." ”

"Don't you think about the baby in your belly?"

"I'm also thinking about the baby. Fairy grass, you sleep first. ”

Bai Jiaxuan pondered for a while and went out again.

Walk to the backyard.

Bai Jiaxuan woke up Lu San.

"Young owner, what's wrong?"

"Look at this."

"Chicken feather letter? What's wrong? ”

"I just received a letter from Ji Mao, and someone wants to hand over the farmer's trouble."

"What? Jiao Nong Incident? Who picked the head? ”

"I don't know. Third brother, our village, these households., you go and notify now, Jiaonong Incident, Sanguan Temple, before noon tomorrow, three bells will sound as a trumpet. ”

"Okay."

"Remember, don't show your face."

"If you don't show up, everyone knows it's me." Lu San smiled and walked away excitedly. He was happy to be able to do such a bold thing.

It didn't take long.

Someone from Lu Zilin's family came.

"What? Someone wants to hand over the peasant uprising? Lu Zilin received the news. He's always well-informed here.

After dawn.

Lu Zilin found Tian Fuxian.

"Fuxian, it's not good, something is going to happen, someone is going to hand over the farmer!"

"What? Someone wants to hand over the peasant uprising? Tian Fuxian was taken aback, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"I don't know, I only know that it's a chicken feather post, I don't know who picked the head."

"That's it," Tian Fuxian pondered, "I don't know, it doesn't matter, as long as I hold down these few people with heads and faces in each village, the others won't be able to achieve any big things." ”

Tian Fuxian thought of a solution in an instant. He's also quick-witted.

It's just that the wisdom doesn't use the right way, and it is used on how to deal with the people.

(PS: The common people seem to be "heinous", and all dynasties seem to regard the common people as enemies and are thinking about how to deal with the common people.) ）

"It's high, Fuxian, it's high, or you can go out if you don't say it." Lu Zilin looked impressed.

Because Tian Fuxian's method is very effective.

It's like herding sheep, as long as the leader is controlled, the flock is controlled.

Tian Fuxian looked puzzled: "But who sent the chicken feather letter?" ”

"Listen to what my dad said, the chicken feather letter is in the hands of the patriarchs of each village, hiding the ancestral hall, I want to call the patriarch when the time comes, take out a pair of chicken feather letters, isn't it right?" Lu Zilin came up with a great idea.

Tian Fuxian was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Lu Zilin on the shoulder, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Talent! ”

"That's not as good as you." Lu Zilin flattered.

"Zilin, as long as you pass this hurdle, I will ask the county magistrate to promote you as the patriarch. Even if everyone in Bailuyuan disagrees, I will also let you sit on the patriarch. ”

"You see that you have a very bad reputation with me, at least half of you agree." Lu Zilin bragged. There are not many people who support him as the patriarch, and they are all fox friends.

Maybe for the sake of Lu Taiheng's face, there can be a few more people, but it can't compare to Bai Jiaxuan.

"Let's go, let's go to the Bai family and ask if the chicken feather letter from Bailu Village is still there." Tian Fuxian suspected that Bai Jiaxuan picked the head.

Just when these people are busy.

Zhou Qiang is already in the provincial capital.

He knew that the requisition of grain would inevitably lead to conflict.

Zhou Qiang was too lazy to get involved.

I will come to the provincial capital to stay for a few days, and by the way, I will deal with the affairs of the shop here.

On this day, Captain Zhang from the Governor's Mansion came. He was Governor Zhang's bodyguard.

"Brother Zhang, are you here?"

"Xiaoqiang is also there?" Captain Zhang has a beard and is more bold. He is also very good at marksmanship.

"Yes, there has been a recent grain collection in the village, so I'm here to hide and relax."

"Asking for food? What's going on? ”

"Come Brother Zhang, let's have a drink together, and I'll tell you carefully." Zhou Qiang said while asking people to prepare wine and food, "Recently, the county has asked each village to pay three more truckloads of grain.

It is the grain that is handed over after the public grain is paid.

If the people pay this extra amount of food, they will not be able to live.

So, someone wants to make trouble. Zhou Qiang said briefly.

"And this?" Captain Zhang was a little surprised, but he didn't take it to heart, ate and drank with Zhou Qiang for a while, and bought a lot of wine and meat and left.
