Chapter 353 Food
"How could this be?"

Zhao Ran let out a low cry.

Zhao Xing and Jiang Yuanzhan also frowned.

Farming is the foundation of people's livelihood.

How can cultivated land be taken away so easily?
The imperial court has also clearly stipulated that the farming land in the hands of the common people shall not be taken back by the prefectures, counties and towns without an order from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

However, the cultivated land in Xiaohezi Village was confiscated by the land security two years ago.

Zhao Xing asked Wang Liu in a deep voice: "The imperial court does not allow governments at all levels to confiscate the people's farming land at will. In 2000, your land was guaranteed to be confiscated. Didn't you go to the government office to ask?"

Mrs. Wang and Liu said why not: "It was my man who took the lead. He is young and strong, and he has been hunting in the mountains all year round. He is tall and strong. The old, weak, sick and disabled in the village are willing to listen to him.

Our family originally had a bit of Susukada, but we were actually able to live on, self-sufficient, planting land, and my husband went to hunt some prey, and I could be a little rich. I took down the mountain and went to the city to exchange some silver back.

As a result, when this incident happened, the family suddenly became difficult, and my husband was the first to refuse.

But they went, and they were imprisoned for ten days as soon as they went, saying that they were troublemakers, lifting weights and looting government offices. This is a flagrant rebellion!

But since my husband and the others are first-time offenders, they will not be severely punished, and they will only be imprisoned for ten days, with minor punishments and major punishments. "

When she said this, she shook her head and sighed: "After that, no one dared to make trouble anymore.

At first, everyone comforted each other, thinking that it was only taken back temporarily. Since we talked about redistribution, we would not take over our land and refuse to return it to us.

But who would have thought that this matter would drag on for two years.

All of our land has not been returned, and we dare not make trouble in the yamen.

Can only accept fate. "

She pinched her fingertips, folded her hands, and rubbed them together: "That's why the lady just said that, why didn't we think that way before?

If it wasn't really desperate, who would be willing to accept fate easily.

Our family is not the worst.

After all, I was a capable man in the early years. After two years without land, he went to the mountains to hunt more diligently. In fact, he had some savings in his hand. "

That's it.

When you go hunting in the mountains, you can take one home to wrap your belly, so you don't have to worry about food for the whole family.

Second, if the hunted animals were of high quality, the skins could be stripped off and sold in the city.

In addition, there are five members of Wang's family, and they don't know how to live a life of extravagance. People who are careful and live on money will definitely be able to save their savings.

But now that he is so poor, Wang Jiadalang even ran away without a trace, it must be because of Wang Erbao's father's injury.

Always have to see a doctor and get medicine.

The whole family is counting on him, and they must want to be cured.

As a result, the money was spent, the savings were emptied, and the injury on the leg failed to heal.

Jiang Wan fell silent upon hearing this.

She really didn't know what to say.

She grew up in Shengjing, even though she only went to Liaodong for a year, she still lived in the general's mansion, and everything she saw and heard was rich and noble.

Never thought that there are still such poor people in the world who can't survive.

After Zhao Xing Yuji in her previous life, she helped Zhao Yi plan the rebellion, and she also paid special attention to the affairs of the court.

At that time, Daye was already rich and strong.

In the past, Jiang Wan didn't think it was a big deal, he only thought that Zhao Xing had inherited a peaceful and prosperous world from Emperor Jinhe, as long as he wasn't a jerk, he wouldn't ruin it.

Now it seems that is not the case.

That was the situation that Zhao Xing worked so hard to manage.

Zhao Xing seemed to see through what she was thinking, and knew that she was suffering, so he covered the back of her hand and patted it quietly twice.

Jiang Wan didn't even have the energy to smile at him, and asked Wang and Liu Shi in a low voice: "Do you know what your lands will be used for after they are confiscated by the land security?"

Wang Liushi shook her head and said she didn't know: "I'm a woman, and my man doesn't tell me these things, and I don't understand what he said about things outside.

But after a while Erbao called someone over, you can go ask Father Gao.

He has a lot of experience and knowledge. When an accident happened in the village two years ago, although the man who listened to me took the lead, it was Gao Daddy who made the suggestions.

Later, when my husband and the others were released from the government office, it was Father Gao who stopped them and forbade them to make any further complaints, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, and their lives might not be saved.

Ask him about those things, he probably knows. "

·
"Those lands? People take them back, plant the land and grow fruits by themselves, and rent it out, and they will just lie down and collect money all year round!"

Father Gao is 50 years old, with early hair on the sideburns and white beard.

But he was in good spirits, and he was cleanly dressed, and among the crowd, he was the only one who had cotton clothes to keep out the cold.

Probably in Xiaohezi Village, he has the best family background.

Zhao Xing and the others only found out later that this old man Gao was the former village head.

Later, many accidents happened, and the village head was changed.

When there was a disaster this year, even the village head ran away.

Father Gao is still in charge in the village.

Each family is helping each other, and it will be a day if it lasts longer.

His own family has taken out a lot of grain, and now the grain store is empty.

At this moment, Father Gao was holding a white steamed bun in his hand, and took another big bite: "It's been a while since I've eaten this white steamed bun. You guys are really living Bodhisattvas. I'm afraid you're not a fairy in the sky. Seeing our little river Zicun is suffering, and he came down to earth to rescue us from our dire straits!"

Zhao Xing didn't answer this question, so Zhao Ran took it: "Don't talk about it, dad, we are not gods, but the road is rough, and the villagers of Xiaohezi Village have such a hard life."

Father Gao sighed again: "Then what can we do? People say that your arms can't twist your thighs. They have power, what do we have?
If you want to survive, you have to learn to shut up.

If you want to survive, you have to find a way to make a living by yourself.

Fighting with the officials in the yamen?
That's because I think my life is too long! "

"Is there no kingly law?"

Zhao Xing reprimanded in a cold voice.

Father Gao didn't take it seriously, and followed his words: "Isn't it just that there is no kingly law? But the emperor is far away from Shangao, and in our poor place, the nobles still think that we are the poor and wicked people. Who will give us Early?

In the officialdom, all officials protect each other.

Those of us who can't even offend the land security guards dare to offend those big shots? "

"Father, were the confiscated lands confiscated by the local governors and rented out, or was it ordered by the governor of Kuaiji?"

Father Gao let out a yell, and quickly waved his hands: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, sir, don't dare to talk nonsense!

Mr. Lang is a good man, don't let misfortunes come out of your mouth, and cause big troubles. After leaving our Xiaohezi Village, don't dare to bite the adults of the imperial court indiscriminately! "
