Chapter 18 Tenant(1/2)
After everyone dispersed.
Su Xiaoyue tidied the pot and stove.
In fact, there is no need to clean it up at all, even the last bit of soup water has been scraped out of the entire pot.
There were even other people from the village who wanted to come and ask if there was any leftover broth.
When I saw the bottom of the pot with no trace of oil on it, I left angrily.
Zhang Bao was sitting on a chair, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
The sunshine at noon was dazzling and warm, and it felt very comfortable on my body.
Plus I ate a bowl full of meat.
At this time, Zhang Bao felt that his energy and blood were slowly recovering.
Lao He stood aside, with a rare rosy face.
Lao He also ate a lot of the pot of wolf meat just now.
But he was frowning at this moment, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Uncle He, are these tenants unreliable?"
Zhang Bao slightly closed his eyes and asked Lao He.
For Zhang Bao.
In the past, I had no choice but to take the initiative to gather people.
If he doesn't.
Everyone who heard the noise last night would definitely come to join in the fun.
When the two wolves are here, something might happen.
It's better to take the initiative to make arrangements.
We can also use these two wolves to find some help.
But Zhang Bao found that his thinking was a bit simple.
Although a whole lot of people came to the yard, half of them were half-grown children.
There are only twelve adult men.
So many people gathered at this time.
It would be easier if there was food, but if there was no food, it would be impossible to restrain everyone with just a thin land deed in hand.
Zhang Bao felt a little regretful.
We gathered people together so early.
After listening to Zhang Bao's words.
Lao He was a little surprised.
"reliable?"
"Master, what's so reliable about this?"
"They are just tenants, and they will do whatever they are asked to do, without any hesitation!"
Lao He said to Zhang Bao.
He was just regretting what Zhang Bao said before about dividing the land.
If they lose their land, will the Zhang family still be considered landlords?
How will Zhang Bao and the others live in the future?
"oh……"
Zhang Bao nodded silently.
For Zhang Bao.
Perhaps he has accepted this body.
But for some of the rules of this world, it is impossible to get around them for a while.
In Daxia, the status of tenant farmers was low.
A tenant who offends his master is treated as a mortal.
For those who are the main offender, no matter what they are, they will be treated as a subordinate. For those who are more than a disciple, they will be reduced to the same level as a mortal.
Landowners can kill tenants without having to pay with their lives, so some "rich people dare to kill exclusively" and even regard the lives of tenants as nothing.
This kind of physical restraint on tenants was common in Daxia.
But Zhang Bao couldn't accept it for a while.
In other words, we will not place our own safety on this deformed social structure.
"Ms. sir, this is the year of great famine, and they still owe a lot of rent."
"I'm not good enough at all. I'm naturally obedient to my husband's words, but I can't believe them all. People are in a bad state these days!"
Su Xiaoyue interjected from the side.
Before Zhang Bao died.
Su Xiaoyue was a weak woman who had suffered a lot.
"Uncle He, Xiaoyue is right. Although these people can be used, they must be guarded against."
"That's what I think. Instead of secretly preparing something to eat, we should think of a solution together."
"After all, we have been doing this ourselves, and it is not a long-term solution. The secret will inevitably be exposed in the future."
"I went to the cliff of the back mountain that day and took a look towards the back mountain. The mountain was covered with dense dry forest. Maybe I could harvest something. Grass roots, bark, dead branches, and grass clippings could all be used to temporarily satisfy my hunger."
"Let's all think of ways to survive this period and have some hope when spring comes."
Zhang Bao opened his eyes, sat up, and said to Lao He.
Listen to Zhang Bao's words.
Lao He looked at Zhang Bao with some suspicion.
As far as martial arts are concerned since ancient times.
Perhaps there is also the saying that once the meridians are opened, martial arts can be accomplished.
But in other respects, not really!
Could it be said.
That move by the young mistress happened to open a certain meridian of the young master?
But it shouldn't be.
Even if the meridians are opened, one should not suddenly know so many things.
Could it be that he is possessed by some evil spirit?
It seems that I will have to make a basin of black dog blood to try some other time.
While Lao He was thinking, he subconsciously took a few steps back.
After all, Zhang Bao's change was so great that he couldn't accept it for a while.
"Uncle He?"
Zhang Bao looked at Lao He and said hello.
"ah?"
"ah!"
"I'll make arrangements right away."
"Master, you've been taking a good rest recently. I...I'll go first."
After Lao He finished speaking, he hurried out.
"Lao He, what's going on?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
"Ms. sir, maybe you've become too good and scared Uncle He all of a sudden."
"It will be fine as soon as he gets used to it."
Su Xiaoyue could see clearly from the side.
She has passed this stage.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Bao watched Su Xiaoyue busy and busy, not stopping for a moment.
