Chapter 17 Cover the gods and Buddhas, the great sage of heaven (please follow!) )
…
About an hour later, Song Wan invited more than a dozen people who were highly respected in Song Jiazhuang.
These dozen or so highly respected people of Songjiazhuang brought hundreds of Songjiazhuang soldiers to be brave.
The group came to Song Baozheng's house in fear.
At this time, Jiang Hongfei had already changed into a new set of clothes made by Song Baozheng's son Song Mo.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold.
Jiang Hongfei, who was already good in appearance and had an elegant temperament, changed into a good dress of this era, and immediately changed his body, becoming quite a bit of a Ximen official.
Seeing that Song Wan had come back with a respected person from Song Jiazhuang, Jiang Hongfei immediately greeted him politely from Song Baozheng's house.
After coming out, Jiang Hongfei saw that the hundreds of soldiers from Songjiazhuang had driven dozens of cattle and sheep.
Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei asked Song Wan: "What does this mean?" ”
Song Wan smiled bitterly: "The little brother has already told the old lady that I have sent troops to Liangshan here, just to find Song Baozheng's family to take revenge, and will not harass the good people, but the old lady still insists on coming to the labor army, I can't shirk it, I can only ask them to drive these livestock here." ”
"Nonsense!"
After saying Song Wan's words, Jiang Hongfei immediately hugged his fist at the old man headed by Song Jiazhuang, that is, Song Taigong: "I've seen the old lady." ”
Song Taigong hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Little Lao'er has seen the king." ”
Jiang Hongfei hurriedly helped Song Taigong up, and then pointed to the apricot yellow flag that had been hung: "Old lady, please take a look." ”
Song Taigong looked in the direction of Jiang Hongfei's finger and saw the four big characters "Walking for the Sky" on the apricot yellow flag.
"The faint monarch is poor and extravagant, the corrupt officials are in charge, the world is difficult, and he does not give me a way to live for the good people, forcing me to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. However, the husband has something to do and something not to do, and I Jiang Yan doesn't care how the cottage next to me acts, but as long as I, Jiang Yan, am still the owner of Shuibo Liangshan for one day, I Shuibo Liangshan will only do the right thing for the sky, and will never do anything that harasses the good people. ”
When Jiang Hongfei said this, he was upright and dignified, so that Song Taigong and other people in Songjiazhuang wanted to believe what Jiang Hongfei said from the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang Hongfei clenched his fists again: "Please also ask the old lady and all the fellow villagers to drive all the livestock back, this livestock will not be wanted." ”
Song Taigong, who was more cautious, was still not very relieved, so he tried again: "Some livestock are my Song Jiazhuang's sincere filial piety to the king, and I hope that the king will not refrain from resigning, otherwise I will not be able to kneel for a long time." ”
After speaking, Song Taigong took the people of Songjiazhuang to hula and knelt down.
Jiang Hongfei hurriedly helped Song Taigong up, let the others get up, and then said: "Since it is difficult to resist a few courtesies, then Xiao Ke is disrespectful." ”
"That's no longer a prevarication?"
Song Taigong and other people in Songjiazhuang originally thought that Jiang Hongfei was really a hero as he said, and he would not loot them as poor.
No, Jiang Hongfei turned out to be a villain with a different heart and a sweet belly.
At the same time, Song Taigong and other people in Songjiazhuang still regretted a little: "If we had just driven these livestock back according to his words, instead of kneeling and begging him to take back his life, wouldn't we have to suffer this huge loss?" ”
At this time, Jiang Hongfei didn't reply: "Brother Zhu Guixian." ”
Zhu Gui immediately stepped forward and came to Jiang Hongfei's side: "The little brother is here." ”
Jiang Hongfei ordered: "Collect the villagers' livestock at the market price." ”
As soon as he heard that the peak was turning, Song Taigong hurriedly said: "Since these livestock are my Song Jiazhuang's filial piety to the king, how can I ask for the king's spiritual money again?" ”
Song Taigong's words attracted several people from Songjiazhuang on the side, who frequently gave him a look, signaling him not to talk nonsense anymore, what if Jiang Hongfei really took back the spiritual money?
Jiang Hongfei didn't seem to see the small movements of those people in Songjiazhuang, and he said to Song Taigong in a gentle voice: "Please listen to me." ”
"These cattle and sheep should not be wanted by me in Liangshan, and they are not trustworthy, and they are not small. It's just that, first, this is a good intention of your village, and if you don't accept it, the people of your village will not be at ease; Second, don't hide a few, my village brothers, do need meat to regulate their physique and cultivation, don't buy this cattle and sheep from your village, but also need to buy cattle and sheep from other places. In this way, Xiao Ke collected the cattle and sheep of Guizhuang. But there is one thing, this spiritual money must be accepted. Otherwise, the cattle and sheep in Guizhuang must not be wanted. ”
At this time, Zhu Gui also brought enough spiritual money over, and he helped: "I don't know a few, my brother is righteous and thin, if Guizhuang doesn't accept this spiritual money, Guizhuang cattle and sheep, my brother will never accept it." ”
Seeing this, Song Taigong and others collected the spiritual money from the sale of cattle and sheep on behalf of the people of Songjiazhuang.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Gui is very good at doing things, and he pays the price of sheep according to the market price, but he pays the price of cattle according to the price of beef.
- Because cattle can help humans cultivate the land, the Zhao and Song dynasties forbade civilians to kill cattle at will, resulting in the price of beef being five times more expensive than that of cattle. Zhu Gui settled the bill to the people of Songjiazhuang according to the price of beef, obviously letting the people of Songjiazhuang make money.
encountered a robber, not only was he not robbed, but he also made a lot of money, and the people in Songjiazhuang were all smiling.
After settling the account of buying cattle and sheep, Jiang Hongfei said to Song Taigong and other people from Songjiazhuang: "Xiao Ke please come over, there are a few things to discuss with the people of Guizhuang." ”
Although the people of Songjiazhuang estimated that Jiang Hongfei, who valued righteousness over profit, should not be difficult for them, after hearing Jiang Hongfei's words, they instinctively raised their hearts again!
Song Taigong pretended to be calm and said: "The king has something to do, but please command, I, Song Jiazhuang, will definitely do my best to do it for the king." ”
"Don't be nervous."
While saying this, Jiang Hongfei stretched out his hand.
Ruan Xiaoqi on the side saw it and hurriedly handed a large box of IOUs to Jiang Hongfei.
Jiang Hongfei casually grabbed an IOU from it and showed it to Song Taigong and other people in Songjiazhuang:
"This is the IOU that the people of my village found at Song Baozheng's house."
When Song Taigong and the others in Songjiazhuang heard this, they all said secretly: "When he comes, he must want to take over this debt, and he wants a few of us to come over and help him collect the debt." ”
No, Jiang Hongfei beckoned to Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaowu brought a brazier, and then Jiang Hongfei threw all the IOUs in his hand into the brazier, and then took the box containing the IOUs in Ruan Xiaoqi's hand, and poured all the IOUs inside into the brazier.
Watching the fire in the brazier burn the IOUs that were about to drain their blood into ashes, many people in Songjiazhuang cried with joy!
Although he already knew what Jiang Hongfei meant, just in case, Song Taigong still asked: "Dare to ask the king, this is ......"
Jiang Hongfei didn't care about Song Taigong's question, he still replied with a warm face: "Xiao Ke forgave everyone from the debts owed to him on behalf of Song Baozheng." ”
In the past, when I borrowed from a loan shark, not only did I not have to repay the black hole-like interest, but I didn't even have to repay the principal.
The people of Songjiazhuang, who could hold back their crying just now, can no longer hold back, and they also cry along.
While crying, these people kowtowed to Jiang Hongfei desperately like pounding garlic to thank Jiang Hongfei:
"The king is merciful, the king is the living bodhisattva, I kowtow to the king!"
"The king saved the lives of my family, and I thanked the king for his kindness on behalf of my family of nine!"
"Song Baozheng's family's debt, I thought I would not be able to repay it until the day I died, I was ready to send my mother-in-law and daughter to Song Baozheng's house, and I also went to Song Baozheng's house as a long-term worker to pay off the debt, I didn't want to be bumped into such a benevolent and righteous person as the king, and I went to the debt that I would never be able to pay off, woo woo ......"
“……”
It can be seen that the people of Songjiazhuang are really grateful to Jiang Hongfei, and some of them even broke their heads.
Jiang Hongfei and the leaders of Shuibo Liangshan helped the people of Songjiazhuang up one by one.
The people of Songjiazhuang continue to be grateful.
When the people in Songjiazhuang calmed down, Jiang Hongfei waved at Ruan Xiaoer.
Ruan Xiaoer saw it and hurriedly brought a large box of land deeds.
Jiang Hongfei grabbed a handful of land deeds from it, let Song Taigong and other people from Songjiazhuang look at it, and then said:
"This is the land deed that the people of my village found in Song Baozheng's house, two acres of spiritual field, four hundred and twenty-three acres of superior fields, seven hundred and thirty-three acres of medium fields, and one thousand four hundred and eighty-six acres of inferior fields, a total of two thousand six hundred and forty-four acres, this land deed has entered the hands of my Shuibo Liangshan, and this field naturally belongs to my Shuibo Liangshan.
"Is this rent? The two acres of spiritual field, Guizhuang will send a few fine people to help me Shuibo Liangshan plant it, and in the autumn I Shuibo Liangshan will send someone to collect spiritual rice. For the rest of the fields, the first three years are rent-free, and after three years, 10% of the grain is paid as rent. Luckily? ”
Although the title deed of Song Baozheng's house has a remark in the government, but those corrupt officials dare to bully and bully the good people, how dare they come to collect the land of Liangshan?
Taking a step back, there is really an idea of daring to come to Shuibo Liangshan's land, and it's a big deal that Shuibo Liangshan will kill a few more typical Liliwei, and by the way, he can make some extra money for Tianxingdao.
The key is that in this world, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the local government is completely autonomous by the villagers, the clan power is greater than the sky, the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, and the chaos will affect the assessment of local officials.
Therefore, as long as Shuibo Liangshan is willing, the people of Songjiazhuang can divide the fields of Song Baozheng's family equally, at least in a short time.
And even if you don't have to pay the rent that can crush people for only one year, it can make people like Songjiazhuang who are difficult to live take a big breather, let alone three years.
Moreover, three years later, he only paid a rent of 10% to Shuibo Liangshan, which is almost the same as letting them use these fields for nothing compared to giving Song Bao a rent of 578% of the rent.
In this case, the people of Songjiazhuang hope that Shuibo Liangshan will never be exterminated by the government, so that they can live a good life forever.
Suddenly, all the people in Songjiazhuang knelt in front of Jiang Hongfei, crying and shouting:
"The king is noble, overshadowing the gods and Buddhas, I will set up a shrine for the king!"
"The king is really a great sage of heaven, save my people from fire and water!"
"The king is righteous and thin, and he will live forever!"
“……”
In short, what sounds good, the people of Songjiazhuang will say anything.
The people of Songjiazhuang are like this, not only because they have received great benefits from Jiang Hongfei, but also because they are truly grateful to Jiang Hongfei, the person who pulled them out of the dire situation and gave them the opportunity to live a good life.
Jiang Hongfei struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Tonight, I came to Liangshan to do the road for the sky, disturbed the rest of the people of Guizhuang, and caused the people of Guizhuang to suffer a lot of fright, and also caused some people to suffer unjustified disasters. Please rest assured, all the things damaged by my Shuibo Liangshan will be compensated according to the price, and those who are accidentally injured will also pay for the treatment of my Shuibo Liangshan. Moreover, all the people of Guizhuang, regardless of men, women, old and young, Song surnames and different surnames, I will send two stones of grain to Liangshan. There are not many things, even if I am sorry for talking about Liangshan, please Haihan. ”
If you mix some wild vegetables, two stones of grain are enough for an adult man to eat for a whole year!
A family of five or seven may not be able to harvest two stones of grain in the end, even if it works hard for a whole year!
What's more, Jiang Hongfei still gets grain according to the head, which household can't get ten stones and eight stones of grain?
And with that large population, a family can get more than 20 stone of grain!
This time, the people of Songjiazhuang were really bought by Jiang Hongfei from the bottom of their hearts, and many people were even willing to go to the soup for Jiang Hongfei, and they did not hesitate to ......
