Chapter 287 Land Merger (Eighth)
"That's great, this is delicious!" Yao Raspberry said stupidly, "It's better to be taller than a man."

"Little fool." Ye Sanniang looked at her distressedly and said, "I will definitely do it."

In her eyes, a man is as tall and strong as a mountain, with a strong sense of oppression, and makes her fearful.

She is taller than a man, and this psychological advantage gives her an incomparable sense of security.

This countryman can't keep up with his nutrition, and he does heavy physical labor, so his height is generally not too high.

Most of the men are about the same height as Ye Sanniang.

And women are even shorter.

Ye Sanniang watched her finish the goat's milk tea, and said with an empty bowl, "Go ahead, I'm leaving."

"I've delivered this bowl." Raspberry Yao said embarrassingly.

"It's easy, stay indoors and don't come out, it's cold outside." Ye Sanniang smiled softly when she heard this.

Yao Raspberry picked up the eyebrow pencil, her face was hot with excitement, "I will study hard, and I will definitely live up to Aunt Ye's hopes."

"Take your time, don't rush." ​​Ye Sanniang said, looking at her softly.

Yao Raspberry jumped off the kang, sent Ye Sanniang out, and then returned to the kang, shaking the eyebrow pencil in her hand, "I must draw well, so that more girls can see that they dared to resist injustice before they were alive."

Goat's milk tea is acceptable to the children, so don't waste a sentence, and pour it into your stomach even if you pinch your nose.

After drinking it, there is no lactose intolerance, so you can drink it with confidence.

After putting the baby down, Ye Sanniang and the others drove out again in a mule cart.

Passing through the baby tower this time, I still couldn't help but sigh, how many girls and babies were left to fend for themselves in the dark and small place.

"I hope the magistrate will hurry up and destroy this baby tower." Ye Yanxing said with extreme disgust.

"Destroy it, and you can throw it somewhere else, or drown it directly." Ye Sanniang looked at them with quiet eyes and said, and said with deep eyes, "We still have to solve food and clothing, of course, don't scold women at all. The child is a loser."

"This kind of concept, the life of Hedong Village is still passable, and it still hasn't changed." Ye Luoxing pursed his lips and looked at them and said, then suddenly remembered, "I remember that the Song Dynasty did not raise children, and the per capita tax was heavy. One thing is that there is less land and more people." Looking at Ye Sanniang with big wet eyes, she said, "Now we encourage more children, if there are more children, in the Song Dynasty, the population is large, what if there is no child? Is there no way to solve it?"

"There are two ways?" Ye Sanniang stretched out two fingers and said, "One is to increase the yield of crops, as long as there is food, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, you won't die of hunger."

After an autumn harvest, Ye Luoxing had an understanding of the yield per mu, "It's too difficult. From ancient times to the present, the yield of this grain has been pitifully low, not exceeding five hundred catties."

"Then the world is very big, let's find new land to cultivate!" Ye Sanniang turned her pearly eyes.

"Ah!" Ye Yanxing looked at her dumbfounded and said, "Where is there new land?"

"What's wrong, where did the prairie wolf go west?" Ye Sanniang said simply and briskly.

"I don't know the specifics, but it is written in the book that the west is far, far away, farther than Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures." Ye Yanxing thought about it seriously and looked at her with bright eyes.

"That's right! This piece of land with a large population can't fit it, so find another place! A living person can be suffocated to death by urine." Ye Sanniang looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "Trees move to death, people move live!"

"Actually, sometimes it's not that there is not enough land, but that the land is gathered in the hands of powerful people." Ye Sanniang said, stroking her fluffy hat.

"The land annexation that mother mentioned yesterday." Ye Yanxing turned around with dark eyes.

"Yes! Do you know how much land is under his name?" Ye Sanniang looked at them with raised eyebrows and asked again.

"I don't know, there are a lot anyway." Ye Luoxing smiled cleverly.

"Tricky!" Ye Sanniang shook her head and laughed, "It's 30 mu."

"Hiss..." The two brothers gasped when they heard the words.

"This... so much?" Gao Mancang exclaimed.

"That's right! That's all." Ye Sanniang looked at the two of them with dark eyes like ink and said, "There are only so many prime ministers. In this world, officials big and small, as well as country gentry and rich households, you think they can Is it less?" He took a deep breath and said, "These people have worked so hard all their lives to plant for them, and I can't even eat a white flour steamed bun."

"There is no idle land in the world, and the peasants still starve to death." Ye Yanxing recalled an ancient poem.

"It's no wonder that in the last years of the dynasty, the peasants rose up and couldn't get enough to eat?" Ye Luoxing pursed his lips and said.

"There is nothing to eat!" Ye Yanxing corrected him, "As long as ordinary people can gnaw tree bark and dig grass roots, they are very satisfied."

"But the land is not distributed to farmers now." Ye Luoxing looked at him suspiciously and said.

Ye Sanniang raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly, "Think about the price of our land being lowered by the big family in the town and let us sell it. It's fortunate that our family has a shop and rent, so we bought grain early. If we didn't Any preparations will be forced to sell the land cheaply."

He looked at them with cold eyes and said, "Don't look at the fact that every family has divided the land. This agriculture depends on the sky for food. When a natural disaster comes, there is no harvest in the field, and there is no food in the house. The landlord came to buy your land with a golden abacus, you Sell ​​it or not? If you don’t sell it, you will starve to death immediately, or you sell your son and daughter. If you sell it, you have to plant land for the landlord, and you can only take as much as the harvester tells you. You will farm for the landlord for the rest of your life.”

"In this way, the land will be bought by the landlord through legal means." Ye Sanniang said with a cold snort.

"Legal means?" Ye Yanxing looked at her with doubts in his eyes and said.

"Buying and selling is voluntary." Ye Sanniang closed her eyes and looked at them and said in a strange way, "We didn't buy and sell by force, it was the peasants who wanted to sell, but I saw them pitiful and bought it with tears in my eyes."

"What mother said, does this farmer have to be grateful to the landlord for saving his life?" Ye Luoxing said incredulously, looking at her with wide eyes.

"That's right! Without the kindness of the landlord Laocai, your muddy legs are ruined." Ye Sanniang looked at them with condensed eyes and said sarcastically, "You have to thank the landlord Laocai."

"What about the government! I remember that there are disaster relief in the history books, open the official warehouses to help the people affected by the disaster!" Ye Yanxing recalled the records in the history books.

"Disaster relief, there is a lot of knowledge here." Ye Sanniang mocked Laman, "Do you remember Wagang Village at the end of the Sui Dynasty?"

"I know, I really like reading the stories about the Wagang Army." Ye Luoxing said excitedly with green eyes.
