Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 466: Family tenants

The wind blows Liu Yu's messy hair in front of his forehead, fascinating his eyes, and the sound of the chanting mantras of the Taoist believers came from that day, monotonous, boring, which made Liu Yu's heart more and more chaotic , More and more irritable, Lu Xun's words have been echoing in his heart. For the first time in his life, Liu Yu's faith has been shaken. Is this heavenly master who does nothing evil, really better than the humble and gentleman Wang Xie family, Can it bring benefits to the people at the bottom?

Xiang Jing's voice brought Liu Yu back to reality. The noise, like a buffalo, was unique, even in the Beifu Army. Liu Yu returned to God and looked at the iron tower General Jing Jing, hooked the corner of his mouth, saluted and said, "I have seen Xiang Zhengzheng."

Xiang Jing stunned for a while, and instead punched in Liu Yu's chest with annoyance: "Junu brother, are you so cold and iron bull? Whether you are the master or the master, or the most ordinary sergeant, you all I ’m the leading brother of Tie Niu, but now it ’s just a moment of frustration, just like you go to the blacksmith camp, as long as you make a contribution in the war, you will be able to rise back immediately. "

Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't care about the ups and downs in this army. What I want is to defeat the Huru and protect my home. As a military leader, it's okay to be a soldier or a soldier. There are rules in the army, now I am a soldier, and you are a team, these rules must not be broken. "

Xiang Jing sighed, nodded, and returned to Liu Yu for a military salute: "This is always okay."

Liu Yu looked at Xiang Jing, and his heart moved: "Xiang Zhengzheng, I want to ask you something. Before you came out as a soldier, you were also a tenant of the Xi family, right?"

Xiang Jing stunned slightly and nodded: "Yes, my ancestor used to be a general who guarded Beijing's mouth. Xi Jian, a founder of the founding family, was the chaos of Yongjia, Shen Shen Lu Shen, our family had no support in the north, it was Xi The general took us south and survived. Later, Jingkou was classified as an overseas Chinese, and our family also settled down in Jingkou. It ’s just that you like the free slave, and our family is Xi ’s. After that, he became a tenant and became a tenant. He can only rent the land of the owner ’s house just like aquatic life. "

Liu Yu nodded: "No wonder a strong man like you has never participated in the Jingkou Fight Competition before."

Xiang Jing haha ​​smiled: "We private soldiers in the trilogy only participate in the contests within the main family, not the civilian ones. This time, in fact, like the aquatic, the Xi family nodded before I could come out to be a soldier. Alas, think of Aquatic brothers, I do n’t have a taste in my heart. "

Liu Yu couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about the death of aquatic life by himself, but he quickly raised his head and said, "Tie Niu, how has your family lived in Xi's house for so many years, has it been bullied? "

Xiang Jing shook his head: "It can't be said that he is bullied. Every year, Xi's family will take away 70% of our land output, but if someone in the family is serving as a soldier for Xi's family, then just pay three achievements. After all, it's not ours, Moreover, the cattle farming tools are also the responsibility of the Xi family, and after giving up 70%, they can also mix food and clothing. "

Liu Yu nodded: "When I was in Jingkou before, I was in a field where you did not collect taxes, so I am not very clear about the situation of you. I just have time today. , You also said to me. Is your family going to be a part of the Xi family for a lifetime, tenants, not to turn over from generation to generation? "

Xiang Jing smiled slightly: "That's not true, after all, the Xi family gave us land for farming, and also gave us agricultural tools and cattle. Although they have paid more, they can always afford food and clothing. When they encounter a famine year, they will also How much will help us a little, or a little less tax, in fact, in my generation, if you want to leave Xi ’s house, you can do it at any time, but if you leave, you will have to re-enter Huang Ji and pay taxes like you. "

Liu Yu smiled and said: "So you can regain your freedom, you don't have to be the master of others, isn't it?"

Xiang Jing shook his head: "How can there be such an easy thing? What do we eat and drink after leaving Xi's house? The first is the problem of land. For so many years, Xi's family has planted it for us. If we left Xi's house, where would we go? Buy land? Now an acre of land can cost hundreds of dollars. We ca n’t afford to buy it. "

Liu Yu nodded: "Yeah, if it were ordinary people, they would have to pay taxes, and they would have to do their duty. The burden is not light. However, like bottles, they go south from the north and they have no land. Why can they stand on their own? What about? "

Tan Pingzhi's voice came from one side: "That's because our northward migrants from New South can be exempted from taxes for three years. Didn't the slave slave forget?"

Xiang Jingyi seriously paid a military salute to Tan Pingzhi: "I have seen the owner."

This time it was Tan ’s turn to push Jing Jing angrily: “What a blame.”

Liu Yu also smiled and gave a gift to Tan Pingzhi: "I have seen Tan Tanzhu."

Tan Shaan shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, no one here, you don't have anybody here, so you can avoid these gifts. By the way, why are you suddenly interested in these?"

Liu Yu sighed: "Because I heard Lu Xun say just now, our family in Dajin is very greedy and exploits the people and tenants, so that everyone has no life. I said that at least it was not the case in Jingkou. He said he left Jingkou everywhere. So. I do n’t know if it ’s true or false. "

Tan Pingzhi smiled and waved his hand: "I also traveled all the way south. I have seen many counties and counties in Dajin. The taxes in the six counties in Jiangbei are not high, but the work is very long, which is more than 20 days longer than ordinary places. ~ Www .ltnovel.com ~ No way, because the Hu people often go south, and the south of the river is mostly the private manor of the family. The majority of the exiles in the north are farming here and become tenant farmers, just like iron cattle and aquatic life. I cultivated for the family and the family. It ’s okay to mix food and clothing, but it ’s impossible to buy an industry for Xiaofu. ”

Liu Yu frowned deeply: "That is to say, is there really no chance to start in life, do you want to be the slave of others forever?"

Tan Pingzhi and Xiang Jing looked at each other, shook their heads, and said, "There are still opportunities to get ahead. The most realistic one is to do like we are now. After you return home, you will buy the capital of Tiansan. Send your brother, you are in the army to achieve your ideals, but most ordinary people just want to be a step in the pursuit of wealth. "

Liu Yu hooked the corner of his mouth: "Na Luxun seems to be telling the truth, he became a tenant under the family, and unless the battlefield is built to build merits, it will be difficult for the eternal life to turn over. The tenants have given Xiao En Xiao Hui to win the hearts of the people? "

Tan Pingzhi sighed: "Although I hate this group of people now, but at this point, he didn't brag, send his slave brother, maybe you don't know, out of the Three Wus in Jingkou, the influence of Tianshidao Power, especially the influence among the lower people, exceeds your imagination! "
