"Your Majesty, due to the drop in the price of rice, many landlords feel that they are losing money by planting rice, so they are ready to take back their arable land and plant garlic or sugar cane instead..."

Speaking of this, Luo Fangbo looked at King Zhu Ming with some complaints.

You say too.

This life-sustaining water is a good thing.

It's also expensive.

Even in the north, there are many merchants who come to buy and smuggle them back.

It's a real lifesaver.

In later generations, it can only be regarded as a small cold, but in this era, it can easily kill people.

And this life-saving water is really a bit of a cure-all.

For example, dysentery and the like are cured by medicine.

Medicine is good medicine.

But it has pushed up the price of garlic.

Coupled with the large price drop of rice.

So that many landlords began to change rice to garlic.

This kind of garlic is not easy to collect rent, and garlic is grown to make money, and renting the land to tenant farmers is not a very efficient means of management.

On the contrary, it is necessary to hire people to engage in plantation-style farms in order to better save costs and allocate resources.

Capitalist relations of production are, of course, more efficient than the tenant economy of the agrarian era.

But also more... Cannibalism.

Especially if this kind of thing happens continuously, if one is not handled well, it will be a lot of fun if there is a mess.

"Right Minister, this land belongs to the landlord, and we can't care what they do." Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said, "And this king is not without a way out for small farmers, this is a good way out to go to the railway company to build a road, or to Lanfang Tunken." ”

Luo Fangbo shook his head when he heard this.

This king is good at everything.

I just really don't seem to care much about the small people....

You are a good Ming king, and you will be the Ming Emperor in the future.

How can you be on the landlord's side?

The group walked along the ridge at the foot of Lotus Mountain.

Zhu Daohua looked at the surrounding scenery very qualitatively.

Lotus Mountain was developed into a scenic spot in later generations.

It is indeed a great place with beautiful scenery.

"Huanxiang, what village is ahead?"

Zhu Daohua asked a middle-aged scribe in his thirties on the side.

Huan Xiang is his character, named Song Xiang.

The reason why Zhu Daohua knew this person was because he had heard of the name of "Meizhou Eight Sages" when he traveled to Jiaying Prefecture.

This Song Xiang is a native of Jiaying Prefecture, came to Guangzhou to study, and also took the Qing Dynasty Xiucai.

Originally, according to the original history, Song Xiang would be Xie Yuan in the 56th year of Qianlong, and then Jinshi in the 4th year of Jiaqing.

However, now the Ming army occupies Guangdong.

It seems that Mr. Song, a famous man in Guangdong Province, has no hope of becoming an official of the Qing Dynasty again.

But it's not bad now.

In the eyes of many people, Song Xiang of Jiaying Prefecture has also become a "close minister of the Son of Heaven".

Now he is Zhu Daohua's secretary, responsible for transcribing dictations, writing royal decrees and other secretarial work.

Although the official position is not high.

However, it is very envious of many students who are studying in the government affairs university.

"Wang, this is Gangwei Township in Panyu, and in front of it is Daling Village."

"Whose land is here?"

"It's from the Chen family of Yimen in Daling Village."

"It's all theirs?"

"Your Majesty, Yimen Chen is a big family in Panyu, and there are hundreds of men in each room. Part of Daling Village is the clan land of Yimen Chen, and part of it is the private land belonging to each house, and more than half of Daling Village is the land of the Chen family. ”

Song Xiang said.

Although he is a native of Jiaying Prefecture, he came to Guangzhou Mansion very early and enrolled in Yuexiu Academy.

Chen Tingxuan, the third eldest of the Chen family's big house in Yimen, was his classmate, so he still knew a little about the affairs of Daling Village.

Just as a few people were talking.

I heard a burst of crying in front of me, and after taking a few steps forward, I saw a large group of people gathered to watch the excitement.

"It looks like another eviction has happened..."

Song Xiang frowned and said.

"Look at it."

Zhu Daohua walked forward with his hands behind his back.

...........

Zhu Daohua and his entourage came without attracting attention.

After all, Zhu Daohua was only visiting in micro-clothes, and the guards who followed him were also dressed as servants.

The short-piped firecrackers are hidden under their robes.

Zhu Daohua hasn't approached yet.

I heard a cry ahead.

Although the vernacular in the suburbs of Panyu is slightly different from that in Guangzhou.

But it's relatively easy to understand.

"No, no, Steward Chen, what did you eat for my family when you drove me away."

A middle-aged farmer sat in a field, crying and yelling.

Next to him was a stout woman with thick hands and feet and a thick neck trying to pull him up.

"My family has never been short of renting."

Steward Chen also said helplessly: "Xu Sanjin, it's not that I don't rent it to you, it's that my head of my family said that this kind of rice is a loss, and I want to take it back and hire someone to grow garlic." ”

"If I continue to rent it to you to grow rice, then the master's family will lose money, can you do this business?"

"I can't live, I can't live." Xu Sanjin was still sitting on the ground wailing.

Seeing that Xu Sanjin couldn't communicate, Steward Chen had no choice but to look at the strong woman next to him.

"Miss Xu, you look at your old beans a little, I can't help it, you should hurry up and find a way to live by yourself, go to the construction site as a worker, or go to Lanfang, it is a way out."

Steward Chen shook his head and said.

"Well, what kind of world is this?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that the county magistrate doesn't care about this...."

"Alas, there was no expulsion of tenants in the Qing Dynasty before."

"Then Steward Chen is right, I heard that the salary for repairing the railway is quite high."

"The road is not built for a long time, what will be done if it is not repaired? It's better to farm. ”

"Then go to Lanfang, I heard that Lanfang's land is all wasteland, and it will be your own to plant it for five years."

"There are a lot of barbarians in Lanfang, and you have to learn how to use muskets to go, I'm afraid that you won't have the life to go back."

The onlookers were talking.

Luo Fangmei also looked worried.

The tenant farmers were driven away and had no food or clothing.

If you don't handle it well.

If it gets messed up, it's going to be a big problem.

She looked at Zhu Daohua and found that her husband didn't seem to intend to stop this kind of thing.

When Zhu Daohua saw this scene, he thought of three words: sheep eat people.

Sheep cannibalism occurs in the United Kingdom.

With the opening of new shipping routes, international trade has expanded rapidly.

The wool textile industry was brought into play in the UK.

The rapid development of the wool textile industry has gradually increased the demand for wool, and the price of wool in the market has begun to soar.

As a result, sheep farming is becoming more and more profitable compared to agriculture.

At this time, some wealthy aristocrats began to invest in sheep farming.

Raising sheep requires large tracts of land. The aristocrats drove out the peasants who had rented their land, and even demolished their houses and enclosed the land where they could raise sheep.

For a time, meadows divided into patches by wooden fences, fences, ditches and fences were everywhere in England.

Farmers who have been evicted from their homes have become homeless vagrants.

This is the enclosure movement.

This is almost the same as the demand for garlic in the pharmaceutical industry, which has driven up the price of garlic, causing a large number of landlords to reclaim their fields to grow garlic.

"Chen Xiucai is here, Chen Xiucai is here."

"Let it all, let it go."

"Chen Xiucai, Chen Xiucai, your family's second room is tenants, you have to go and talk to your nine uncles."

"Yes, yes, Yimen Chen didn't do this kind of thing before."

Just when the big guy is yelling.

A young official wearing a green official uniform, a square hat, and a short-barreled firearm on his waist hurried over.

The Ming official system basically followed the previous dynasty and was divided into nine grades.

The style of the official uniform is similar, it has been slightly improved, and the hem is not so long for easy movement.

The difference between the official uniforms of various products is mainly in the color.

1st to 4th grade, scarlet robe; Fifth to seventh grade, green robe; Eight and nine grades, green robe

Now Chen Xiucai Chen Zhongliang of the Chen family is the eldest of the Chen family's third room, he was selected for Xiucai at the age of seventeen, and he is a well-known genius boy.

But embarrassingly.

Chen Zhongda, who had been hit by Xiucai early, failed to even try, and the name of this talented young man Chen Xiucai is now becoming more and more ridiculous.

However, with the Ming Dynasty occupying Guangdong.

This Chen Xiucai quickly got the official of the Ming Dynasty - a nine-grade cabinet colony dispatch officer.

The so-called dispatch officer is a miscellaneous official who does not have a fixed official position and will be dispatched wherever there is a need for manpower.

Now this mung bean official embroidered with a small quail has been sent to do a hard job: pull people's heads to Lanfang Tun to reclaim.

Specifically, recruit people here in Guangdong, and after recruiting enough 100, get on the ship and go to Nanyang, and hand over the people to the local officials of the Reclamation Division.

It's really not a good job.

First of all, it is difficult to recruit people.

If it weren't for the fact that after half a year as a dispatch officer, next year's big exam is said to have a 10-point bonus.

The thirteenth young master in the second room of the Chen family in Yimen would not do this kind of errand that was done by officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Xiucai has been wandering around his hometown for more than two months, and he hasn't recruited a few.

However, with the end of the autumn harvest.

He's been able to recruit a lot more smoothly – and that's what quit the tenants.

Chen Xiucai is obviously very experienced in dealing with this matter.

He stepped forward and looked at the women of the Xu family, his footsteps paused slightly.

Frankly.

He wasn't afraid of these three catties.

I'm afraid of his daughter Xu Hongxia.

They are all from Daling Village.

Chen Xiucai was beaten by Xu Hongxia once when he was a child, leaving an indelible shadow on the young young mind of the young Thirteenth Young Master.

This Xu Hongxia is a well-known old leftover girl in Daling Village.

It's nothing to be five big and three thick.

More strength is still a big advantage in a farmer's family.

It's just a bad temper.

No one can control the splash.

The young masters of the Chen family sometimes walked around when they saw her.

At the end of the gang, there are two surnames of Chen and Xu.

Although the surname Xu is not as prosperous as the surname Chen, it is also a major sect in Daling Village, and the number of people is much higher than that of the Chen family.

Although the house of Xu Sanjin's family has declined, it has been reduced to the extent that he wants to be a tenant farmer for the Chen family.

But the young masters of the Chen family didn't dare to bully the Xu family casually.

This is characteristic of the clan.

Even if Xu Sanjin is very poor, and the family is not prosperous, this house is basically the last in his generation.

But he is a member of the Xu family, you can look down on him on weekdays, but if you want to say that you dare to kill the life of his girl, then the Xu family will definitely not agree.

Therefore, Chen Xiucai was beaten when he was a child, and at most he could only call his own brothers to beat him back, but there was no way to do anything with the power of the Chen family - it was okay to bully people from other places with power, but it was unrealistic to say that they were bullied to the heads of people from the big clans in their hometowns.

In fact, Chen Xiucai was embarrassed to beat him back.

The other party is a female streamer.

I haven't seen Xu Hongxia for a long time, and the thirteenth aunt of the Xu family is getting thicker and stronger.

Suppress the faint sense of fear brought by the shadow of childhood in my heart.

Chen Xiucai stepped forward.

"Xu Sanjin, what are you howling. You don't go to inquire, there are tenants everywhere in Guangdong. There's no way, now I'm losing money on growing rice, and I can't even pay the field tax! ”

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
