Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 13 Merger
Although Liang Xiao felt that the prisoner was taking things too seriously, he didn't dare to neglect them.After all, his opponent is a well-known dandy in Guangling City.Don't look at him acting like a nobleman now, who knows how low his bottom line is.With your own life at stake, you can't be too cautious.

Killing people is not uncommon in this day and age.When you kill someone, you have to worry that it's not the government—find a place to hide for a while, and wait for the amnesty to come out again, so the government won't bother to take care of the old accounts—it's the victim's family.If he killed Hu Lai, many people would avenge Hu Lai.If he was killed by Hu Lai, only my wife would be left. Could it be that my wife and a woman should avenge him?
Therefore, Liang Xiao still followed the prisoner's instructions, first went to scout the terrain, and then tried to find out the purpose of Hu Lai.

With a hero and three gangs, Liang Xiao naturally thought of his buddy, Tu Niu'er.

Tu Niuer was being beaten again.

Tu Niu'er covered her face, howled ghostly and howled with tears, "Don't fight, don't fight, it's not that I'm going to a duel, I'm just passing on a message."

"It's not okay to send a message." Aunt Shi pinched the waist of the bucket with one hand and swung a green bamboo with the other, and greeted Tu Niu'er with enthusiasm. "Because you spread a few words, the Hu family is not willing to take our land. The land can't be sold. Where can I get the money to buy your sister's dowry? Your sister is eighteen. If she doesn't marry out, she will eat up the family's property. It's empty, what will I give you as a wife in the future?"

"Grandmother, what are you talking about? It seems like I'm eating and drinking for nothing at home..." Tu Niu'er's sister, Tu Hua'er, rushed out of the house, pinching her waist with one hand and waving a broom with the other. Stop in front of Aunt Shi. "Mum, you have to speak clearly today, or I won't obey."

"Oh, I said Hua'er, so don't join in the fun. When did I blame you? Don't I blame your brother?"

"My brother is a fool, what does he know?" Tu Hua'er insisted. "You obviously told me what you said."

"You are a fool." Tu Niu'er became anxious, and scolded loudly: "It is because you are stupid that no one wants you. You stay at home and eat and drink for free. Alas, you crazy woman, how can you beat someone... "

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.He originally wanted to ask Tu Niu'er for help, but now that the Tu family is in a commotion because of good things, he is embarrassed to go in.Fortunately, Tu Niu'er's old lady said that Tu Niu'er's older sister, Tu Hua'er, was a pungent woman, and when she played aggressively, even Tu Niu'er would give way.

Most of the women in the Han Dynasty got married relatively early, usually married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and some even went out at the age of thirteen or fourteen.Tuhua'er is eighteen this year, according to the custom, she is a big girl, and she may become a leftover woman.What she hates the most is when people say she can't get married, this is almost her inverse, and it will explode at any point.If Liang Xiao goes in now, if he fails, he will be beaten up by her.

Liang Xiao had no choice but to cup his hands to his mouth and imitate a cuckoo call.The door of Tu's house slammed, and a figure rushed out. Before Liang Xiao could speak, he covered his face with two broomsticks, and cursed: "Where did you come from, I don't even look at the months, but I am like cuckoo barking!" .”

Liang Xiao saw that something was wrong, so he turned around and ran away.Tu Hua'er swung her broom and chased after her, cursing at the same time: "You bastard, you peeped at me last time, and I haven't looked for you yet, and you're here to fool my brother again, to see if I don't beat you to death."

Liang Xiao was embarrassed.And this?The original Liang Xiao's taste was not very high.

"Hua'er, Hua'er..." Liang Yu stood in the distance and raised her hand, a piece of brocade in her hand was shining brightly in the afternoon sun.When Tu Hua'er saw it, her eyes straightened immediately, she immediately let go of Liang Xiao, changed her smiling face, and went up to her, and from afar she called enthusiastically, "Auntie, are you calling me?"

"This is a small change left over from last time. It's useless. I'll make you a handkerchief." Liang Yu took Tu Hua'er's hand and touched her face affectionately. "What a handsome girl, I don't know who will have this blessing in the future. If I can marry you back, I will give birth to a few fat boys. Hua'er, when will you get married, tell my aunt, and my aunt will make you a belly hug, and I will also touch you." Be happy."

"Auntie, I'm still young." Tu Hua'er twisted her waist, took the brocade, couldn't put it down, and the fierceness on her face immediately turned into a delicate peach blossom.

Liang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.This Tu Hua'er is the queen of the movie, and the expression changes too quickly.

"Look, don't run fast, if you don't run, your family will go bankrupt again. My sister dreamed of having a double-faced brocade, so she sent her to your house to steal it." Tu Niuer hopped in the distance and called up.

Liang Xiao suddenly realized, turned around and ran away.The double-sided brocade woven by my old lady Liang is a masterpiece. It is sold in the market for a piece of gold. The small piece of handkerchief for Tu Huaer is worth more than a piece of clothing. It is not affordable for a girl like Tu Huaer. of.A bellyband is a bellyband, and for Tu Huaer, a double-sided brocade bellyband is like a Xiapei, which is enough to make her stand upright in front of her little sisters.

"Why did your family sell the land again, and sell it to the Hu family?"

"If you don't sell the land, how can I buy my sister's dowry?" Tu Niu'er said angrily, "It's eighteen now. If I don't get married, I'll have to eat my daughter-in-law's money. The land in my house is almost gone." Surrounded by the Hu family's land, if it is not sold to the Hu family, who would dare to take it?"

"But selling land is drinking poison to quench thirst. If there is no land, there will be no food. If there is no food, how can I pay rent?"

As far as Liang Xiao knew, the land tax in the Han Dynasty was very light in name, but in fact it was very heavy.Because when the land tax is collected, no matter how many fields your family actually has, it is collected according to the standard of 150 mu. The harvest is so much for [-] mu, and so much for [-] mu. The less land, the heavier the burden of land tax.Selling land is a vicious circle. Once it starts, it will basically be unstoppable until it is sold out.

My old lady, Liang Yu, has always refused to be registered, and she also has this consideration in it.If you don't lose your nationality, you don't need to grant land and pay taxes, you just need to get the Lizheng done.If you lose your registration and become a registered household, you must grant land, and if you have land, you must pay taxes.Even if you don't get the land at all, the land tax of this hundred mu is inevitable.

The benefits of light taxation in the early Han Dynasty were all taken by those tyrants who owned a large amount of land.In fact, they don't even pay the [-] mu of land tax, and pass it on to the powerless people.Because of this, land annexation was already extremely serious in the prosperous age of Wen and Jing, and the suppression of tyrants became a political problem that Emperor Wu of the Han had to face after he ascended the throne.

Tu Niu'er sighed, and said with a deep expression, "I've thought about it, but I really can't, I'll just rob a few more tombs. I heard that a few new tombs have been added to the west of the city."

Liang Xiao was a little ashamed. "Niu'er, I'm the one who got you down."

"Hey, what are you talking about, we are good brothers." Tu Niu'er waved his hands disapprovingly. "Even without you, the few pieces of land in my house would not be able to keep. Sooner or later, they would all be sold out. Oh, it's not the state of Wu now. The good times, our brothers, didn't catch up."

Liang Xiao was startled, and quickly covered Tu Niu'er's mouth.Tu Niuer broke free from him and looked at him in surprise. "What are you doing, surprised?"

"Can you keep your mouth shut?" Liang Xiao said solemnly, "What about King Wu? That's treason. Someone accused you and chopped off your bull's head."

"I'm not the only one who said that." Tu Niu'er shook his head nonchalantly. "I've heard several old people say that it's better to be a citizen of Jiangdu than to be a citizen of Wu. During the time of King Wu, there was no need to pay land taxes, and you could eat salt as you wish. How nice it is."
