Farm with space

Chapter 25 The Farming Crisis
Yuxi went out to the top of the mountain in charge, weaved a mat for a while, picked some wild vegetables and wild mushrooms in Lishan, and then pulled out two spring bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest and sent them to Dr. Yun's house, and visited Wanwan along the way.

Yuxi chatted with them for a while, politely declined the evening meal, and before reaching the village entrance on the way home, he heard Bian Jinlang and Bian Jinyu shout anxiously: "It's not good, it's not good! The newly appointed Southern Hubei General Soldier wants to recruit Juntian. Wudong Village, [-] miles away, has already been conscripted, and our Bianjia Village will be conscripted soon.”

This is a big event!

Family relatives gathered here to ask about this matter.

Bian Wenjiulang, Bian Wenqi, among the relatives, discussed with everyone: "Is it because the Nanman invaded intentionally? The court needs a large amount of military farmland as a backing for food and grass. Could this be an opportunity for Bianjiacun to turn around?" You must know that they are the most powerful .

Uncle Bian Wen shook his head vigorously, and said, "There is absolutely no possibility of fighting at present. The Nanman has been peaceful for a long time now. It is estimated that the military land is expropriated according to the usual practice."

The relatives gathered around the village entrance and talked about the topic. In the end, more people felt that what Uncle Bian Wen said was reasonable.

After hearing this, Yuxi's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously. He saw Bian Lingqian, the son of Bian's second eldest son, and several relatives, sweating profusely, driving four cows to the entrance of the village in a hurry. .

The middle character of the second branch of the descendants is "Ling."

The relatives of all clans "coaxed" after seeing the cattle driving, like ants on a hot pot exploding, and then their expressions were more restless before the storm was about to come.

There are a total of 100 households in the two branches of Bianjia Village, and more than [-] people only have these four cows.

Because the grandparents all died in exile, because the eldest son of the first family, the father Bian Yiye, died in battle, and the second master Bian refused to be the patriarch because of the surprise attack. The head of the patriarch was Bian Lingbo, the father of the second eldest house.

These four cows are therefore assigned and managed by their house.

Now that the relatives see Bian Lingqian hurriedly driving the cattle back to the village, combined with the land acquisition, it is inevitable to have pessimistic thoughts.

What does this mean?
It means that the army is about to enter the village, not only to requisition fields, but also to rob cattle.

How can they plow the fields without cattle!

Another family member said that the eleventh lady Yuling, who was married to Zhou Jinsi, the warehouse official, could think of a way to see if she could move around the military department through the warehouse official.

Yuxi shook her head after hearing this.

Not to mention that it is difficult for Yuling to contact her in the pass. Even if Yuling wants to return to Bianjia Village, she will enter and leave the pass through someone else's identity, and she is not free.

Even if you can get in touch, so what, one is that the villain Zhou Jinsi will not be busy with a concubine's entertainment, and the other is that the dignified commander-in-chief doesn't need to give Wupincang the face of the official, whether he can meet or not is still a problem.

Uncle Bian Wen's idea coincided with Yuxi's, and he denied this idea, saying: "The expropriation of military land is more beneficial than harmful for Wudong Village, but for those of us who do not want to become exiled households For the people, it's just the opposite."

Yuxi felt that Uncle Bian Wen's words were not groundless, but she was puzzled about this question, and asked: "As long as the newly appointed Southern Hubei General Soldier is not too black-hearted, and increases military food and military pay by requisitioning military land, In order to fill his own pockets, the situation should be fairly optimistic."

Uncle Bian Wen looked at Yuxi and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Yuxi is still very smart, but there are some things that need to be pointed out by the elders.

He looked at the onlookers and said, "Everyone should understand that Nanzhang belongs to the buffer zone for the battle between the Nanman and the Southern Hubei Army. It should be noted that the two sides fight first with food and grass. Those of us who open up wasteland can grow food for the army. food reserves."

"That's why not only the court wants to reclaim Nanzhang, turn it into a real county, and expand the country, but the Nanman in the area south of Nanzhang also wants to plunder the reclaimed land for their own use, so as to have a fighting base."

The latter sentence aroused the fighting blood of the clan members, and they all raised their fists and said, "Nanban must not be allowed to succeed!"

"Yes! Nanban must not be allowed to succeed!"

Even though they have been abandoned by the court and exiled here, the idea of ​​loyalty to the country is deeply rooted and has long been integrated into their blood.

In order to keep these unclaimed lands from being harassed by the Nanman, and at the same time increase military food and military pay, each newly transferred general of Nanhu sometimes confiscated military land in Nanzhang, and asked some troops of Nanhu to cultivate for six days and train for six days. Garrison system.

In this way, there are troops garrisoned in the land near Juntian, and the Nanman dare not harass at will. At the same time, it serves as a warning. Once the Nanman tries to invade Nan'e Pass in large numbers, these Juntian garrisons will be the first to report the news to within the pass.

In this way, it is true that as long as the newly appointed Southern Hubei General Soldier is not too black-hearted, expropriating military land will do more good than harm to households outside the customs.

The second uncle Bian Wen saw everyone's fighting spirit, and seemed to see the former demeanor of Bian's army, and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

Then, he explained in a sad voice: "Since we are already exiled people, we have no freedom. Without freedom, we have no right to use and belong to the land. Even if all our land for reclaiming wasteland is confiscated, the Our expulsion to the south is also reasonable and in line with the court law, this is just a further expulsion." After the words, there was endless emotion.

Assuming that all the cultivated land is requisitioned, the rice seedlings will be planted in vain, and they will be driven farther south to reclaim the wasteland for farming.In this way, Bianjia Village has returned to the days when they first came to Nanzhang three years ago and had nothing. By then, a group of people will starve to death.

The Bian family will be in danger!

The onlookers' expressions dimmed after hearing this.

Uncle Bian Wen changed the subject and encouraged everyone: "But, no matter what, we must persevere. We have passed the most difficult time three years ago, what else can bring us down. Swear to the death not to become outsiders, he After the amnesty decree, our Bian family will return to Beijing to serve the country and make a comeback!"

"Serve the country and make a comeback!"

"Serve the country and make a comeback!"

The onlookers raised their farm tools and shouted their comrades.

After hearing this, Yuxi deeply felt that these people in Bianjia Village were tough guys, and they would rather break jade than tile.

There is still a way for the Bian family to avoid another expulsion, and that is to apply to become a household outside the customs before the military land is expropriated.The court has regulations that cannot collect more than half of the military land from households outside the customs who pay the grain tax.This can avoid starving to death due to lack of food.

But in this way, the Bian family's household registration in Beijing will be removed by political opponents. Not only will they not be able to return to Beijing after the amnesty, but they will also not be able to conduct scientific research. up to the counties.

I don't know how many generations have passed by then.The people of Bianjia Village would rather deport a group of people and starve to death again than submit to exile and become outsiders.

More and more clan relatives rushed back to the village upon hearing the news.The patriarch Bian Lingbo called on the fathers to hold a family meeting.

Second Master Bian didn't come back from the door with a heavy expression until Haishi.Seeing the whole family sitting on the small bench in the courtyard waiting for him to come back, Second Master Bian's expression eased, "Let's all go back to bed."

Relying on being favored, Aunt Zhang was worried and couldn't help asking out of curiosity: "Master, tell me about the arrangements within the clan. This will allow the whole family to make arrangements in time." Aunt Zhang meant to prepare to go south in advance migrate.

After hearing this, Second Master Bian glared at her angrily, "The wife-lord didn't make any inquiries, but you, a concubine, interjected. You haven't gone back to your room yet."

When did Second Master Bian accuse her so seriously?Aunt Zhang looked at Second Master Bian eagerly with tears in her eyes.

Yuxi thought to herself that although this aunt usually acts perversely, she is a master at changing her face, and she can be gentle to the bones when she should be gentle with men.Seeing Aunt Zhang like that, if it wasn't for the two not being in tune, Yuxi would have been confused by her weak expression.

Sure enough, when Second Master Bian saw it, he couldn't bear it, and then he heard Liulang Yujing's pleading voice, his angry and dissatisfied expression was swept away, and finally he asked her to go back to the room to rest.

Yuxi thought that maybe the second lady was too dignified and serious, and it was difficult to untie the second master Bian's heart knot after Yao's family fell into trouble, and she couldn't get his understanding.

Because of this sudden land expropriation incident, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Lin, who had already inquired about suitable candidates for the Yi family, had to postpone the matter.

Uncle Yi's family also received the news, so they were still thinking about discussing the marriage proposal in Yuxi with Aunt Zhou.Yuxi's marriage was suspended.
