late han empire

() 29 refugees joined Liujia Village, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

The Wang family has settled down in Liujia Village, and they are absolutely loyal to Liu Ming as the system said.

From the next day, Liu Ming gave them wages and asked them to help with logging.Seeing this, the other villagers suddenly realized that this method was used to solve their problem of no food income!

It's just that everyone is very strange, why does the village chief need so much wood?

No one knew that Liu Ming personally summoned Gao Shun and the members of the Wang family to open up five acres of farmland on the mountain and handed it over to the Wang family for cultivation.Gao Shun was somewhat able to bear the miracle of ripe fields suddenly appearing on the flat land, but he was very surprised why Liu Ming handed over these 'kanda fields' to these 'outsiders' to cultivate them.

Liu Ming didn't hide it from him, he only said that these were enlightened by the gods, otherwise it would be impossible for someone to take them in only here after traveling thousands of miles.Inspired by the gods, this group of people is absolutely 100% loyal to themselves, and they can even be used directly as dead soldiers.

Hearing this explanation, Gao Shun came to a sudden realization: these are the real 'ones of my own'!

Regarding the power of the gods, he also doubted for a moment, but then he accepted it with a wry smile.Miracles occur frequently, one time may be a coincidence, how can "coincidence" be used as a perfunctory for more than two times?This poor child's world view has obviously been completely destroyed.

After one month of cultivation, five mu of land actually harvested fifteen shi of grain.Gao Shun, who knew how to farm, couldn't help being stunned by this harvest. As for the Wang family, they were surprised, but they quickly recovered their composure, as if it should have been the output.

At that time, the income of one mu of cultivated land was only one stone, and three stones was naturally considered a high yield.Not to mention, the corn matures within a month after being planted. This is not a miracle and nothing is a miracle.

At this moment, the autumn harvest has also been completed, and the township officials and subordinate staff began to come to collect taxes. The 29 people are newly added population, but the township head is kind and righteous, mainly for the sake of Grandpa Liu Ming, these 29 people are exempted from taxes this year.

The villagers left behind the seeds for next year's sowing, and the grain that would probably last until next year's harvest, and the rest were piled up in carts, and Gao Shun took the lead to send them to the county town for sale.

Originally, it is usually to wait for the grain merchants to sell directly, but the price directly sold to the county is higher, and the county is not too far away from Liujia Village, so the grain is basically sold in this way over the years, and then by The people in the convoy stopped by the county town to buy what the villagers needed.

Originally Liu Ming was going too, but Gao Shun asked him to train hard in the village.

Liu Ming also learned the reason later. It turned out that this kind of food transport team occasionally encountered robbers due to bad luck, and it was inevitable that someone would be killed during the fight.Liu Ming is the village head, so Gao Shun naturally couldn't let him put himself in danger.

But before knowing the truth of the matter, Liu Ming did complain about Gao Shun for several days.

The days went on, and Liu Ming sold fifteen shi of grain for ten shi, and distributed the rest to the Wang family who cultivated the fields.The leftover grain does not need much, anyway, it can continue to be harvested next month.In contrast, he needs to sell grain in exchange for coins, otherwise other buildings cannot be developed.

According to previous understanding, the ten stones of grain can be sold for about three pennies.After knowing this number, Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad. At this speed, he doesn't know how long it will take to develop.

About three days later, Gao Shun and others returned to the village.They came back with seven carts and a lot of groceries.But what attracted the most attention were the dozen or so boxes.

"These are the additional investments of the Zhang family. After a period of time, that guy Zhang Fei has obviously carefully investigated the actions of the aristocratic family and the actions of the Taiping Sect, and found that what you said is very likely to happen.

Just for this, it is worth additional investment. After all, knowing the news in advance, the Zhang family may also be able to develop rapidly with the help of this incident, and the benefits are far greater than the money of these ten boxes. "Gao Shunru said.

Information is money, and it seems that the ancients also understood this truth.

Carried the box back to the room, opened it and scanned it with the system, and found that there was an additional [-] yuan of income in his account.Zhang's family property is indeed very rich!

I thought about continuing to build the farmland, but at this time, a visitor came to visit.

Liu Ming naturally didn't know who he was, but Gao Shun knew, and explained in a low voice: "This is your third uncle!"

"Third Uncle, please sit down quickly!" Knowing that the other party was close to him again, Liu Ming immediately entertained him warmly.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for half a year, and the house has been rebuilt?" Liu Jing said with a philistine expression.

"Hehe..." Liu Ming didn't bother to explain to him, anyway, as long as he looked it up, he would be able to know how this new house appeared.Knowing directly from Liu Ming's mouth, it seems that he is a bit showing off or showing off.

"Forget it, seeing that your life is going well... The patriarch and I are relieved. My visit this time is just for one thing, and that is to invite you to attend the clan meeting at the ancestral temple of Lousang Village." Seeing that Liu Ming was silent, Liu Jing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so she directly explained her reason for coming.

"Oh, I don't know what this meeting is about?" Liu Ming asked curiously.

"It's nothing, the most is to let the descendants of the Liu family from all over the place reminisce about the past, so as to save a lot of time. But for you, there may be something about being raped, and you will know when the time comes." After Liu Jing finished speaking, she got up and planned to to go.

"Third uncle, don't you want to stay for one night?" Liu Ming asked kindly.

"No, I still need to contact other members of the Liu clan..." Liu Jing shook her head and left.

"What's going on with this third uncle, he's in a hurry." Seeing him leaving quickly, Liu Ming couldn't help feeling amused.

"Maybe I felt embarrassed, so I left first." Gao Shun's face was full of sadness.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ming felt that something was wrong.

"By the way, you have lost your soul and don't remember... Let me tell you!" Gao Shun sighed, and told Liu Ming exactly what happened two years ago.

At that time, the village encountered barbarians attacking Caogu, and everyone escaped into the mountains and forests, and 52 people survived by chance.The rest were either killed or fled far away.

It was also the autumn harvest at that time, but after the Huns' horseshoes raged, the fields naturally had no harvest.

But the county magistrate just took office, and the official position bought with money needs to be paid back quickly, so Liujia Village was not exempted from taxes at all.He also threatened that if Liujia Village did not pay taxes, all the villagers would be sold to rich families as slaves.

It was against this background that the old village head knelt at the Liu's ancestral temple for a day and a night, in exchange for the sympathy of the old head of the Liu family, and supported a large amount of food, and finally managed it.

I heard that the old patriarch learned that the old village head passed away not long ago, and he passed away not long ago.The new village head came to the throne, and he was indeed the emperor and the courtiers. Presumably, he already had the idea of ​​recovering the loan.

Repaying debts is of course a matter of course. Liu Ming can only laugh bitterly at why he is so miserable. He has only opened Goldfinger for more than a month, and creditors have come to his door.

Suddenly, Liu Ming realized something, and immediately asked: "Master, how much is this grain worth?".

Gao Shun was surprised why Liu Ming asked this, and then thought for a while before answering: "It's worth five hundred guan..."

Speaking of this, he just wanted to understand the key to the matter.It's just that he really wanted to know, how did the patriarch of the Liu family know that there happened to be five hundred coins in these ten boxes?

Immediately, a figure appeared in his mind...

"Liu Goudan, that damn thing is actually eating inside and out!" Gao Shun said angrily.

"It's him?!" Liu Ming was shocked when he heard that.

Liu Goudan was quickly taken into custody, Gao Shun interrogated him personally, and it turned out that this guy was indeed the one who informed him.

The reason is simple, the systematically constructed farmland has still been discovered.In fact, there are no protective measures around, and the Wang family has been farming in such a mysterious way, so it will naturally arouse the curiosity of others.

In fact, the reason why Liu Goudan followed at that time was mainly to prevent these guys from doing anything bad to Liu Ming, but the starting point was for Liu Ming's sake.

Who knew that when such a miraculous farmland was found, Liu Ming, such a "kanda" was not handed over to his "confidant" to manage it, but was handed over to an "outsider" who had just arrived, and he couldn't be more angry.

They all said, "Sheng Mi's kindness fights against Mi's hatred." He didn't know how to treat him well before, so he knew that Liu Ming had betrayed him.

Afterwards, according to his confession, it was said that the new patriarch had found him a long time ago, and hoped that Liu Goudan could become his eyes in Liujia Village and monitor Liu Ming at close range.At first, he refused, but later he agreed, because he could make money by joining the team leader Liu An!

The course of the matter is so surprising, but also so dumbfounding.

"You go..." Liu Ming didn't explain anything, but just said something to him silently.

"Huh, I don't keep my master here, I have a place to keep my master! Today you blame me, and then you will die of poverty and starvation, so don't come to find me!" Liu Goudan cursed a few words, went home, packed up and left Liu. home village.

Soon, other villagers came to ask Liu Goudan why he was leaving, and of course someone soon mentioned the farmland.Obviously, there are more than one or two people who know about this matter.

Liu Ming secretly scolded Gu Gu for having a poor sense of secrecy, and then announced to everyone with a smile: "Kanda just appeared in the world, and I don't know exactly what happened, let alone you. Under such circumstances, we Is it necessary to delay everyone's time to try planting for a month? If there is no harvest, will it delay everyone's autumn harvest? !

Kanda only has five acres, and the small amount is just because of the high yield and quick harvest.Now I declare that each household in Liujia Village can take turns occupying one mu of Kanda for one month if they can afford it.The food was harvested a month later, and the villagers and I will share it in half! "

Everyone is not a fool, and they also know that this may be Liu Ming's way to appease people's hearts.

However, with a harvest of three stones a month, even if you can only have one stone of grain in the end, considering that you can basically come back again in three or four months, you will have an extra harvest of three or four stones a year, which is quite affordable!

It just so happened that Liu Goudan's departure saved an opportunity, and everyone had no objections.

Liu Ming, who finally comforted people's hearts, breathed a sigh of relief. The next day, he explained a few words to Gao Shun, and soon packed his bags and set off for Lousang Village.This is his first time attending a clan meeting, and he doesn't want to be late.
