Wanli Xinming

Chapter 109 Nostalgia
Wang Peng was afraid that the Huo family would move away, and the family's land would be abandoned.He poured cold water on the side and said, "Old man, you guys moved out in a hurry, but don't say I didn't warn you. It's cold in the northeast!"

Seeing that everyone was listening to him with curious eyes, Wang Peng gave an example: "I heard from a businessman in the county who went to the northeast to collect old ginseng leather goods. In the winter in the northeast, you need a stick to poop and pee."

The fool Huo Lin interjected: "What are you doing with a stick, circling the ground before urinating?"

Wang Peng said with a snort, "That's not true. I heard that the urine came out of the dick and immediately froze. You have to hold the stick and tap while urinating. The frozen tip of the cake can tear the butt off."

When the Huo family in the ancestral hall heard it, they all felt a chill under their crotch.Huo Laoshuan sneered and said with a smile: "Student Wang is talking nonsense. If it's that cold, can you still go out to pee? Besides, who doesn't poop and pee in their hut and go out to the fertile fields?"

Wang Peng was blocked by Huo Laoshuan's ingenious thinking, so he could only smile bitterly and stop talking.

Hearing what Huo Laoshuan said was reasonable, everyone in the old Huo family nodded.Mrs. Huo pounded the tunnel with a spade: "Cold?! If you can't serve the land in the cold weather, they are all cats at home! Calculate how much you can collect for so much food. If you eat beautifully for a winter, we won't be happy to die?"

The men in Huojiazhuang were all excited when they thought about the bright future described by Mrs. Huo.A man with a big belly remembered the pain of starving himself every year, and he cried out loud.

So everyone agreed that the move must be moved.After a lot of talk, we finally settled on the plan for the migration of the family as follows:
This spring, the land was planted at home first, and then Mrs. Huo led 55 strong men to go to the northeast to plant half of the land circle and open part of it.

This group of people will also bring two carpenters and bricklayers to guide the strong men to build houses and warehouses in the northeast.In the fall, this group of people first collect the grain from the northeast, and then come back to help the family to collect grain and spend the winter.When the lease of the land is revoked next year, the whole family will go to the northeast to live happily.

The old lady Huo finally mobilized: "This year, the whole clan must work hard and work hard! The fields on both sides must be harvested, and no strong man is allowed to go out to work for long or short-term labor! The newly opened fields are all raw fields, how much food can be harvested? Everyone knows what they have in mind. After moving in next year, we will have to eat the leftover grain from spring to autumn. If there is no grain here, we can't move!"

When Huo Da heard it, he shouted in the crowd: "What the old man said! Our ancestors came here with five broken bowls, all of which have splintered and scattered. We have houses and land, where can we live? This year, we All with [-] points of strength!"

After the Huo family's ancestral hall meeting was over, Wang Peng went back and asked his wife, and ran to the home to ask to see Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang was a top-ranked Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing. He served as county magistrate for two terms.

He saw that Wang Peng, this family, was sloppy and generous, and he didn't humble himself because of his poverty, and secretly admired it in his heart.

Hearing him talking about the Huo family, the old man said with emotion: "I guess the old Huo family has to leave. It's all right. I have arranged for people to go to Zhili and call refugees to replace them."

Seeing that Wang Peng didn't understand why, the old man said indignantly: "Years ago, I asked the county officers to go to Huojia Village to talk about the Northeast in detail, and I wanted them to move out! This group of Huo people are all bandits. For his grandmother's, other families pay [-]% of the rent, and the old Huo family relied on the fact that there are many strong people and they have the same heart, how many years have passed, they will pay [-]%!"

"The head of the grain is dispatched by the head of the grain, and the head of the ward is dispatched to serve as a servant. The Huo family is a thorn every time! Every year in the market and in the county, as long as there is a fight, his family is indispensable!"

When old squire Wang talked about his excitement, his hands trembled: "You just moved to Huojia Village, I don't know what this Huojia is - every year they charge him some rent, and the money is not enough to manage the yamen! If you don't help his family To catch people, the old woman lays on the ground right in front of my house. Where am I a tenant, these are my ancestors!"

When Wang Peng heard this, he was speechless and had a new understanding of his neighbors.Master Wang shook his hands and complained, took a sip of tea, wiped the white foam from the corner of his mouth, and said to Wang Peng with a smile, "Brother Xian is here to report, you have a heart."

Wang Peng hurriedly said that he should. Although it was a side branch and was far from his home, he could not write two characters of king in one stroke.

The old man nodded and asked the housekeeper to come in and give a few words in a low voice.

He smiled again and said to Wang Peng, "Can my virtuous brother still study? This career—"

Wang Peng heard it and said, "Brother is joking, how can my family afford me to go and start my career, I have already given up."

Master Wang said: "This is my fault. I am my family, but I don't move around. If my wise brother wants to start a career, I may sponsor one or two."

Hearing this, Wang Peng clasped his fists and said, "Brother Xie is concerned. But I have no intention of doing it. I have watched the emperor's accession to the throne for two years, the government has been greatly improved, and the image of the prosperous world has been revealed. How can I make a family business in this world! I originally planned to sell my family's thin fields to go to Fucheng next year to do some business. Maybe I can make a way out, and it is better than watching the sky in the countryside. "

When Master Wang heard this, he was in awe.He sighed: "I don't want to be at home, but I meet a wise man in the wild! My wise brother."

Just about to say a few words of encouragement, the butler came in, holding a wooden tray in his hand, on which were placed four snowflake silver ingots, a total of 80 taels.

Wang Peng was taken aback and asked with anger on his face, "What is the meaning of this, old brother?"

Master Wang stroked his beard and smiled: "This family of bandits surnamed Huo has no literacy. When they arrive in the northeast, they must not let the local subordinates bully them to death? If my brother has some feelings from the village, the old man wants you to accompany them to the northeast. After a walk, I also experience the experience - these money, the right to be entangled. I don't know if it is feasible?"

Wang Peng's heart was like charcoal, and he couldn't tell what it was like. He bowed to the ground and responded, "Brother Gao Yi, does Peng dare not to obey orders?"

Seeing his promise, Mr. Wang put his mind at ease.He said with a smile: "Since brother Xian is interested in business affairs, there is a big businessman in our family in Henan, called Wang Congyun. When brother Xian comes back from the northeast, if he doesn't dislike it, I can recommend a letter and go to him to find something first. Do it, practice your hands, and feel the way.——Leave the few acres of land in your house for now."

After hearing this, Wang Peng was convinced by the five bodies of the family, and patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, brother, I will not let the Huo family suffer in the Northeast!"

The landlords and tenants on the Shandong side look like this, but in the first month of the third year of Wanli, Songjiang Mansion is a different scene.

In the autumn of the second year of Wanli, the Xu family also held a clan meeting.Lao Xiangye Xu Jie struggled to no avail, was forced by the emperor's knife around his neck, and finally decided: retire!
Old Xu Jie, who had been calmed down by the emperor after finishing his family's fields, was also frightened to death, and he understood the emperor a little more.My heart said that if I was still in power, I would also clean up my own house.

I haven't measured it carefully, but simply added it to the account book. My family actually has 26 mu of arable land and 11 mu of mulberry fields. Not to mention half of the land in Huating County is under my own name, and it also occupies 13 mu of neighboring counties!
Although Xu Jie knew that he had a lot of land before, but when Cai Guoxi and Hai Rui were suppressing his family, Xu Jie had just retreated, thinking that Gao Gong was going to clean him up and prevent him from reviving—political disputes, not even an inch.When his influence in the DPRK has completely subsided, he will wander around the garden every day, regardless of housework.Besides, he has high self-esteem, and the court treats old ministers favorably. With the examples of Hai Rui and Cai Guoxi, who can treat the Xu family?
But the human mind is so strange.This year, Xu Jie was first deposed by the emperor, Xu Yuanchun, and then reinstated by Cai Guoxi, and the two big ears were beaten sober.No matter what he thinks now, the emperor is justified in cleaning up his own family, but when he was so ashamed and angry, he couldn't turn around psychologically.

In the end, he made a final decision. According to Xu Yuanchun's suggestion, except for the original [-] mu of land, the rest of the land that he had donated to the Xu family after he took power will be cleared.

When a post arrived at the county government, the magistrate did not dare to neglect it, and urgently reported it to the Songjiang prefect.Songjiang prefect Wang Yixiu was from Sichuan, and when he saw Yang Ruiyun's submission, he was moved to tears.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the back hall, Wang Yixiu knelt down and kowtowed to the north, shouting, "Your Majesty!

After Wang Yixiu kowtowed his head, he calmed down and said in his heart that in the third year of Longqing, the imperial court tried a whip method in Songjiang, which almost sparked a civil uprising.why?Because the land is all in the Xu family, the imperial court's annual tax burden of 120 million shi falls on the rest of the small landlords and ordinary people!

Let alone 120 million shi now, if all the fields of the Xu family are withdrawn, I, Lao Wang, can pay all the taxes and taxes, and pay back the debts accumulated over the years during his term of office!At that time, no one will be able to take away the number one performance appraisal in the world!

The withdrawal of the Xu family from the fields was the largest, most complicated and most sensational event in the southern part of the empire in the second year of Wanli.From the beginning of November in the second year of Wanli to the first month of the third year of Wanli, it lasted more than three months, and the field has not yet been returned.

The first reason is that after accepting the donated land, the Xu family planed away the dams and ridges that separated the original land, connecting the land into a whole piece.When the fields were withdrawn, the markers could not be found, and many adjacent ones fought, and there were a lot of lawsuits.

Second, the previous donation process lasted for many years, and some families had broken the incense, and the family members who had the right of inheritance competed for land, resulting in a large number of land rights confirmation lawsuits in the process of returning the land.

The third is that the Xu family alone has more than [-] servants. Among these people, those who are closer to the Xu family have abandoned Jiaqian for many years.After the Xu family retired from the fields, they could no longer support them, so they were sent out to live abroad, and many families had no food and clothing.

Fourth, many tenants have rented the land of the Xu family for many years, but many of the new landlords who have taken back the land have to cultivate the land themselves, and a large number of tenants have also lost their livelihoods.

These things are messy and mixed together, making Yang Ruiyun and Wang Yixiu miserable this year.Looking at the beginning of spring, half of the land could not be confirmed and planted, and the two were so frightened that they could not wear the black gauze hat securely.

No choice, Wang Yixiu, who had been holding on for two months, had to report to the capital urgently, and asked to send an imperial messenger to supervise the Xu family's withdrawal from the fields.As a result, Ling Wang Yixiu shed tears of remorse in the future. After that, the decree that the official career was extremely bumpy came down, and the court raised Hai Rui as the imperial commissioner, and went to Songjiang to break the lawsuit and clear the land again!

　Hai Qingtian said: Mojie is a good boy, otherwise it will take ten years for the old man to recover.Those of you who have the votes, watch and give points. This has nothing to do with clean government, but to implement the old man's consistent partiality towards Kuwazi!

　　Lao Mo: I was criticized by the editor today, saying that I have too few words.Lao Mo finally wrote [-] words and vomited blood to ask for votes.
