317 Wolf-like eyes
"Dad, the Zhang family, the Yan family you mentioned, and the Gongsun family you didn't mention have all divided their fields. Now our family is the only one left. Can't you understand the development of the situation?"
"Besides," Boya asked in a serious tone: "Did we really earn our family fortune with hard work? Who is cultivating the fields and land, and who owned these fields thirty years ago?
How did you get it into our hands later? Don’t you have any idea?"
Father Liang was shocked, "The Zhang family and the Yan family have divided their fields? How is this possible!"
He doesn't believe it!
He still believed the Gongsun family. After all, the Xu Jiajun and the Gongsun family were relatives. He had already guessed that Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Yu were not firm in their stance.
But how could the Zhang family and the Yan family lose to the Xu family army?
"Where are their troops? With so many people, is the Xu Jiajun so powerful?" Liang's father looked disdainful, and even suspected that his own son was making up lies to scare him for the so-called political achievements.
Boya looked at his father's stubborn expression of trusting the strength of the Yan family and the Zhang family, and smiled helplessly.
"Dad, haven't you gone out to the village to have a look? Do you know how the tenants look at us now?"
"That's like a wolf! When I first entered the house, the tenants stared at me with their eyes, as if they wanted to pounce on me and eat me!"
Mr. Liang was startled. It was still very cold in the first month of the year. He stayed in the fire room to warm himself by the fire every day. How could he dare to go out and wander around?
If you catch the wind and cold, it can be fatal.
But, if he is cold, don’t the tenants know how cold it is?
Boya sighed: "Dad, the new decree has come down. The Xu family army will divide the fields for the tenants. They will divide the land according to the head. One person has one acre of land. This is the land, and what the people care about most.
Do you really think they don’t want it?”
"How dare they!" Mr. Liang's eyes glared with a fierce look, "This is all my land. It's good enough to let them rent it. What else do they want? They don't want to rent my land and just drink the wind."
!”
Boya said: "That's because no one supported them before, so everyone didn't dare! Now there are Xu's army who are like heavenly soldiers and generals. For the working people at the bottom who already have nothing, this is a gamble that they can risk their lives for!"
"Dad, do you know how the Yan family and the Zhang family divide their land?"
When Mr. Liang heard this, he still didn't believe it and asked in disbelief: "Are they really separated?"
Boya nodded heavily, "Dad, those Buqu you raised are really useless. The head of Zhangjiaqushou was given away by the tenants of Zhangjia's Wubao. The tenants themselves opened the door of Wubao. They
Directly put the fifty Xu Jiajun led by Xu Dalang into Wu Bao and personally lead the Xu Jiajun outside the Zhang family mansion."
"What do you think those tribes are for? They are just a little better off than ordinary tenants. They still don't have enough to eat or wear, and they still want to divide the land!"
"If you don't believe me, just go out and see how these tenants and tribesmen look at you!"
"Now Yuyang belongs to Xu Jiajun. On Xu Jiajun's territory, everyone can grow fairy rice with a yield of 700 kilograms per mu. All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted. Businessmen only need to pay commercial taxes, and farmers only need to pay grain taxes."
"It's fine if the tenants don't know the news, but the Xu family sent people to the countryside and went around Wubao with loudspeakers to spread the word. Now even a three-year-old child knows that the Xu family not only gives fairy rice, but also allocates fields. You
Do you think they can still sit still?!"
Listening to what his son said, Mr. Liang felt panicked for no reason. After so many years of running the family, this was the first time he felt that the power and status he held were in danger of collapsing.
That night, Mr. Liang couldn't sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see the horrifying scene of the tenants surrounding him with hoes and sickles, clamoring to take his head and sacrifice it to the Xu family army.
Mr. Liang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He didn't dare to close his eyes anymore, so he simply sat up and stayed up until dawn.
In fact, Boya didn't sleep well either. He got up early in the morning and came to his father's room to try to persuade his father again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, he saw two dark circles on his father's face, his eyes were red, and he looked haggard.
"Dad, are you okay?" Boya quickly stepped forward, squatted in front of Mr. Liang and asked worriedly.
Mr. Liang waved his hand and said that he was fine. His heart was firm and unshakable yesterday, but he was a little wobbly today. He asked Boya to talk about the specific details of Xu Jiajun's land purchase.
Boya nodded, first helped his father to the warm stove, and then explained the details of the land purchase.
First of all, Xu Jiajun will not do things too badly. Landowners who take the initiative to sell their land will leave part of it for the landowner's family to cultivate themselves according to the number of people in the family.
Secondly, an acre of low-grade land is 50 cents, an acre of medium-grade land is 200 cents, an acre of high-grade land is 500 cents, an acre of low-grade land is 100 cents, an acre of medium-grade land is 350 cents, and an acre of upper-grade land is 800 cents.
Xu Jiachou paid.
Finally, landlords who actively cooperate can obtain the right to bid for the Xu family's bulk circulation commodities and participate in the bidding.
"Xu Jiajun wants to do business?" Mr. Liang, who had turned pale after hearing the previous two items, his eyes lit up.
Boya nodded, "The Xu family's army has sea ships. You know Gongsun Hao, right? He has been on the side of the Xu family for a long time. These sea ships were built by Gongsun Hao. The sea ships brought tons of salt and sugar.
It’s all refined salt and snow-like icing sugar.”
In addition, there are kelp, grain, and local ironware. Each of these things is necessary in people's lives.
Boya doesn't need to talk about ironware, Mr. Liang has already thought of it.
The iron ore mine in Yuyang has always been in charge of the Xu family, and this time the Xu family's attack was so sudden that Gongsun Zan, who was far away in Bingzhou, had no time to react. The iron ore plant has now become the private property of the Xu family's army.
Over the years, the landowners in Yuyang all know that the Xu family has fine iron tools - especially the iron plows used by the villagers in Xujiazhuang. Mr. Liang has been thinking about it for a long time.
Unfortunately, over the years, the Xu family has not sold any ironware. However, Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Yu, through their relatives, were able to obtain ten iron items from the Xu family.
This iron plow is very easy to use. It plows the ground very quickly, and the other gentlemen are all jealous of it.
Thinking of this, Mr. Liang became even more shaken.
Bo Ya saw that his father was obviously relaxed, so he kept up his efforts and hit him hard.
"Dad, before Xu Jiajun comes, please quickly agree to sell the land. At least our family can retain some capital like the Gongsun family. Although it has lost the hard work of you and our ancestors, it is still better than the Zhang family, Yan
Everyone’s property will be wiped out immediately and it will be a blessing if someone dies!”
Someone died?
A chill ran down Mr. Liang's spine, "Come on, let's go to the farm and have a look now!"
