South Monroe City.

In the chaotic alleys, the houses are built only of broken planks and thatch, and they look crumbling.

Ding Ze said while leading the way: "Childe, I asked someone to follow Luo Qingxiao, but I didn't expect him to live in Luocheng, the environment here is really bad, or I should call him over?" ”

Xu He waved his hand in a plain robe and said with a smile: "It's only been an official for a few days, and it's not like I haven't lived in such an environment before, let's go, let's go and meet him!" ”

When he came to the door of Luo Qingxiao's rented house, he suddenly heard someone arguing inside.

Ding Ze was about to step forward and knock on the door, but was stopped by Xu He.

Xu He stood outside the door, politely nodded at the people passing by, and just listened to the movement in the courtyard.

"Luo Qingxiao, how many months has it been since you promised your mother six hundred dollars? How many six hundred dollars? You are so poor and want to be an official, why don't you go home and dig up the ancestral grave to see if there is anything like a person......"

Xu He frowned when he heard this, it seems that this Luo Qingxiao is really exhausted.

When Luo Qingxiao heard this, he was probably also a hero with a short of breath, and he had no face, so he could only beg bitterly: "Aunt Kuai, the gang of bitches in the former military governor's mansion are stuck with me, and I really can't help it, don't worry, I've been making trouble every day these days, and if I don't give me a guard, I won't leave!" ”

"Phew, can you pay for the transfer of texts? You poor soldiers, just a small judge, even if you are in command, the old lady will not take a look at him, what do you say today you must pay back the money owed to the old lady, otherwise you will be pulled to see the official! ”

"Aunt Kuai, and the grace period is a few days, just a few days......"

Hearing this, Xu He nodded to Ding Ze.

Ding Ze knocked on the door, and Luo Qingxiao inside asked angrily, "Who!" ”

With a "bang", the door was opened, and Luo Qingxiao saw that Ding Ze was dressed as a person with status, so he slowed down and said, "May I ask who the honorable driver is?" ”

Ding Ze didn't speak, took two steps back, Xu He turned out of the door, and looked at Luo Qingxiao with a smile.

When Luo Qingxiao saw Xu He, he didn't recognize it for a while, he only felt familiar, and the next second he was so frightened that his eyes were about to pop out: "Experience a big ......"

Before he finished his words, Xu He waved his hand, turned to Ding Ze and said, "Go and send that stinky mother-in-law away!" ”

Ding Ze walked into the door when he heard this.

Xu He looked at the courtyard: "Don't you invite me in?" ”

Only then did Luo Qingxiao react, and hurriedly opened the door to let him in.

As soon as she entered the door, the woman walked towards the door with a smile, and said to him happily when she saw Luo Qingxiao: "You have a good fate, you have met a nobleman!" ”

Xu He said with a smile: "This aunt, in the future, she will be good to others and herself, accumulate some virtues, and if you want the house money, you will ask for it, how can you scold your ancestors?" ”

The aunt was stunned, and when she saw Xu He, she frowned: "Talk a lot!" ”

After saying that, he twisted his ass and left.

Xu He beckoned Ding Ze and said, "Go, palm mouth, stop when the teeth are gone!" ”

Ding Ze was stunned when he heard this, but turned around and was about to leave.

Who knew that Luo Qingxiao stopped him at this time, turned his head to Xu He and said, "Xu ......"

Xu He smiled: "Just call me to speak brightly." ”

Luo Qingxiao suddenly knelt down: "The villain doesn't dare, after experiencing the adult, although the woman has a bad mouth, but she also let me live in vain for three months, otherwise the villain would have been living on the street a long time ago, begging the adult's subordinates to show mercy." ”

Ding Ze looked at Xu He!

Xu He nodded and said, "Well, that's it!" ”

After speaking, he found a tree root for chopping wood in the courtyard and sat down and said, "This official came today to ask you why you are experiencing a big fuss!" ”

Luo Qingxiao didn't expect Xu He to be so straightforward, and after pondering for a while, he knelt down in front of Xu He again and said, "Ask the adults to be in charge." I spent money to take care of the two most difficult yamen, the military department and the official department, and I thought that with some money, the former military governor's office would not be embarrassed, who knows......"

"I asked Liu Shuban from the Experience Division before, and he promised to do it well, but two days ago, he suddenly changed his mind and said that he would let me wait a little longer!"

"Ask him how long he will have to wait, and he says at least March or May!"

Speaking of this, Luo Qingxiao said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, when I came to Beijing, I had already heard that it would cost a lot of money to attack the job in Beijing, I hollowed out all my family funds, and Tian Dudian went out, but I never thought that it would be half a year, and I would have to wait so long!" ”

"The field I am in will expire next month, and if I don't go back, our family will have no place to eat and have food!"

Xu He frowned and said, "You pawned Juntun?" Taizu stipulates that the military tun cannot be pawned, you are so bold! ”

Don't look at Xu He's youth, he speaks slowly, but the faint, non-negotiable tone when he speaks made Luo Qingxiao sweat profusely!

After a while, Luo Qingxiao stammered: "Returning to the experience of adults, villains, and villains in their hometown guards are all doing this!" ”

"I remember that most of the military tuns you guard in Xiangyang are in the Xishui generation near Yiyang, where is your home in Xishui?" Xu He asked.

Luo Qingxiao originally heard Xu He, a young colt, ask why he pawned this kind of question, and thought that the other party was a little white-faced nerd who didn't understand anything.

But as soon as he heard this, the other party even knew where the military camp of his own guard was, and suddenly extinguished the contempt that had just been bred in his heart.

He replied honestly: "Exactly, in the upper reaches of the muddy water!" ”

Xu He nodded: "Although the upper reaches of the river are mountainous, there are also three river dams such as Zhujiayan, and the acres of land on both sides have always been rich, how much silver have you paid?" ”

Even Zhu Jiayan knew this, Luo Qingxiao was even more panicked, and he vaguely felt that the other party was not just here to solve the matter of his transfer.

But when he thought that the lieutenant had just arrived, he would help him settle the rent, which showed that the other party did not mean to harm himself.

After thinking about it, Luo Qingxiao lowered his head and said: "My family has more than 60 acres of good paddy fields, and one acre is worth two taels of silver." ”

"Two taels?" Xu He was surprised.

Hailing has a good paddy field on one acre, and the silver is at least more than 4 taels, and it can be sold for more than ten taels at the peak.

And he was only two or two!

That is to say, the exchange for silver was only one hundred and twenty or thirty taels.

"How can it be like this?"

Luo Qingxiao secretly glanced at Xu He and said in a low voice: "Juntun can only be used as the commanders of the guard, and others don't accept it!" ”

Xu He understood that the Luo family had been the judge of the Xiangyang guard for generations.

Equivalent to the judge of the Honke.

It is estimated that only those heads in Weizhong can eat their fields!

"Are there many people who are in the field?"

"Not much!"

This answer surprised Xu He: "Not much? ”

"Well, Tian is almost all the commanders of the guard, the Tongzhi and a few servants, I, because my family is a judge, the daily chewing is enough......"

Xu He understood that the Luo family was originally a big landlord like these minds of the Xiangyang guards, otherwise how could they have sixty acres of land.

Now because of the attack, he is about to be destitute, but once the attack is successful, Luo Qingxiao, who became an official, loses his land, what will be the end?

Intensify their efforts to seize the land of lower-level officials and ordinary military households!

As for why there are not many people who pawn the fields?

Because most of the military tuns guarded by Xiangyang are already in the hands of these heads!

The situation is worse than Xu He imagined, as far as he knows, at least in Hailing, there are still many ordinary military households who have land.

But after all, it was Nanzhili, and when it came to Huguang, which was farther away from Emperor Tiangao, the situation had reached a precarious point.
