The aristocratic families don't like a tough emperor. They chose to support Li Xiao instead of Li Jian because Li Jian is stubborn and has always managed the military force, which makes him have a tough personality. However, when the fourth prince went to Jiangnan, he seemed very good.

Sleek and a small acceptance of the old aristocratic families in Jiangnan. In their opinion, Li Xiao is a more suitable candidate. But the development of the world is beyond people's expectations. Once Li Xiao takes office, the weakening of the aristocratic families will be shown.

The strong desire is even better than that of Li Jian. Li Jian may just think about it, but Li Xiao has now begun to implement it. It is obvious that Cao Yi’s refutation to let the aristocratic family form a private army to support the king and lead the Shu army into Sichuan.

Examples.

Xie Shilin, Shuzhou, is a relatively special family. It is essentially different from other families. Do you want to use the Xie family to suppress people?

Xie Shilin naturally knew it well, but he was happy to see it. He was always the local emperor who lived in Shu and could not have great development. Only by coming out can the Xie family be carried forward.

As soon as he left Shu, he took Yuzhou and Jingzhou, especially Jingzhou, which made Xie Shilin very satisfied. This is a rich place, and the degree of gathering of rich people is almost comparable to that of Shangjing. I have to thank Cheng Qun, who has already met King Yan.

General Cheng, when he used a big knife to move the wealthy families in the northern Qin Yiliang Pusi to Jingzhou, he used a big knife to force the Xie family to move. He didn't expect that in the end it would be cheaper.

Although these wealthy families arrived in Jingzhou, they had no land, but they had a lot of money. However, even if they had money, they could not buy a lot of land. While the land prices in Jingzhou soared, they also made these people move here.

Rich families had to find another way, and many people were unwilling to live in vain and began their business journey.

This made Jingzhou's business extremely active.

After Xie entered Jingzhou, the first thing he did was to increase the commercial tax, and he turned from the original twenty tax to ten taxes and one ten taxes. In a short period of time, he accumulated a lot of money for the Xie family.

Of course, behind prosperity, there is also instability.

Doing business is risky, so you must be cautious when entering the industry. Many of these landlords who have just entered the business path have lost all their family business within a few years, and have gone from being a rich family to a poor man.

Jin Gui was exhausted. At the moment when the Jingzhou city gate was closed, he finally walked back to the city. His ragged clothes pocket contained the labor money he had worked hard for today, fifty cents, which was his family's living expenses for tomorrow.

Jin Gui turned out to be a wealthy landlord in Yizhou. He had more than a thousand acres of land at home, which was not considered a great wealth. However, with the tenancy of more than a thousand acres of land, his family could live an extremely leisurely life.

It made him frightened, but the short transit of the man was immediately defeated. This made him extremely happy, thinking that a peaceful life would continue, but he never expected that what changed his life was the first one.

He believed that the savior General Cheng Qun was the general.

When he was holding the neck of the steel knife, he had to clean up the fines and soft things with tears in his tears, sell the food stored at home to General Cheng's army at an extremely low price, and then gave up his land in Yizhou and brought his wife and children to Jingzhou.

The family had accumulated a lot of assets since my father. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he bought a courtyard house to settle down. It was not that he didn't want to buy a good house, but that compared to those who moved to Jingzhou at that time, he could only be considered one.

The poor man can't buy a good house at all, nor can he afford it. By the same token, he originally planned to re-buy his property in Jingzhou, but found that there was no land for him to buy it. Those richer people raised the price of the land

He reached an incredible point and had no choice but to live at home for a year, and finally had to face a problem. He could eat up the whole family in this way. No matter how big the family is, he would have to finish his meal for a day, not to mention that he is not the kind of rich and powerful family.

.

Gritting his teeth and taking out some money from his savings, he started his business journey, but his luck was extremely bad. The intrigue in the shopping mall caused this man who had never been to business to go into business for the first time.

The disaster not only lost all his capital, but also owed a large amount of foreign debt. After selling the courtyard and even taking out his wife's gold and silver jewelry, he finally paid off his debt. But at this time, he had nothing left.

.

Several concubines in the family ran away without a trace overnight, leaving only the mother over 60 years old, her wife and three children. The eldest was fifteen years old, the eldest was twenty years old, and the youngest was only eight.

age.

They moved to Dishui Lane where the poor lived, rented two very small houses, and barely settled down. Jin Gui, who was over 40 years old, had to go outside to take on work every day, if he was a day

I couldn't find a job, and the next day, the whole family would have to go hungry.

Jin Gui's original fine skin and tender flesh has long turned into bronze. His shoulders, which have never been held by heavy objects, are covered with scabs. His fat hands are now calloused and his face is full of wind and frost. At first glance, he is over 50 years old.

The old man is now.

But he still had to go out and fight hard every day, otherwise his family would starve to death.

He opened the fence door at home and smelled a scent. He sniffed and actually had the fragrance of braised pork. He felt very surprised that he could buy rice for the family every day and add a little bit of side dishes.

Not bad, why did my wife buy meat today? She sniffed hard, it was indeed braised pork. This was something he didn't want to eat before, but now he wanted to eat it but couldn't.

A few steps to the door of the house, the door was wide open, and the three children sat at the dining table, staring at the dishes on the dining table. There were not only braised pork, but also fish on the table. Today's dishes were really rich, but compared with

From the past, what was it? Looking at the greedy appearance of several children, he was not only very sad.

"Master, are you back?" My wife came up with a smile. Since the family declined, she rarely saw her wife's smile. What's wrong with this today?

Pointing to the table, "Is this?"

The wife quickly said, "Original, you are here to have a friend. This is what your friend bought out."

As his wife spoke, a man stood up in the dark corner. The oil lamp was placed on the table. The light inside was too dark. Jin Gui didn't see clearly the corner of the house and there was still a man sitting there.

"You friend, you are pitiful. Not only did you buy some meat, fish, but you also have dozens of kilograms of rice and grain!" The wife said in a low voice.

No one is asking about the poor in the downtown area, and rich in the mountains have distant relatives. Since the family declined, the former friends have long disappeared. Are there any relatives? Apart from these in the house, are there any other ones? Looking at the man walking out of the corner of the house,

Jin Gui blinked. He couldn't remember when he had such a friend?

"Brother Jin, I am Yang Er. Do you recognize me? When I was in Yizhou, I rented dozens of acres of land in your family!" The visitor bowed and smiled: "Brother Jin is kind to you, the old man."

The harvest of tenant grain was extremely low!”

Jin Gui couldn't remember when he looked at this person who claimed to be his own tenant.

"Brother Jin. If I hadn't seen my sister-in-law buying vegetables at the market, I would have really never expected that you would have fallen into this place. What would I say?" The person who called himself Yang Er was obviously a familiar person and enthusiastically pulled him.

Jingui's hands kept shaking.

The wife, who was on one side, turned red and she lowered her head. At that time, she was not buying vegetables, but picking up rotten vegetables and leaves that others don’t want. When she came back to tidy up, she could always eat them.

When Yang Er held his hand, Jin Gui's heart moved. That man's hand was definitely not the one who farmed all year round. Jin Gui was a delicate person. He was also a person with a thousand acres of land back then. He had seen many tenants who farmed, and those hands.

The calluses on it were too obvious. This person also had calluses on his hands, but they were not the kind of farming ground. It seemed like... he suddenly shook, which was the hand that often held a knife.

He suddenly started to tremble.

Yang Er noticed his abnormality, took his hand and smiled, "Brother Jin, the children are hungry. Why don't you let them eat first and we will talk to the yard for a while?"

Feeling Yang Er pinched himself hard, Jin Gui's heart shook even more. He glanced at the three children on the table and his wife on the side, and nodded quickly. "Okay, let's go to the yard to chat for a while."

Yang Er echoed: "Sister-in-law, bring us the pot of wine on the table."

Jin Gui's wife not only brought the wine, but also brought out the bowl of braised pork. "Official, you work hard every day, and you can only have the strength to eat some meat."

After looking at the pitiful three children in the room, Jin Gui shook his head and said, "No, I drank a bowl of meat soup from my boss at noon, so let the children eat the meat!"

Yang Eryi smiled and said, "Yes, yes, look at how greedy the children are. My sister-in-law just needs to give us the plate of cooked salt beans on the table."

The two of them held hands and seemed to be intimately in the yard, sitting on the millstone.

"Brother, who are you? My family must have no tenant like you before. I am now penniless and have nothing. What do you want to do with me?" Jingui was a little nervous and looked at the three children who were eating voraciously in the room and stuttering.

typical.

The smile on Yang Er's face had already been curled up, and he looked at Jin Gui, "Of the Jin family, of course I am looking for you!"

"Me, what good pictures do I have?" Jin Gui was a little panicked.

"If Brother Jin is willing to help us, I can help you return to Yizhou. The thousand acres of land you had in Yizhou back then could also be returned to you!" Yang Er picked up a broad bean and threw it into his mouth, slowly politely

Answered.

Jin Gui jumped up suddenly, "You, are you from the north?"

Yang Er glanced at him, "For you, is there any difference between me from the north or the south?"

"I don't know anything, you, what do you want me to do?"

Yang Er glanced at the room and sighed: "You were also a person who was rich and well-off back then. Now it's hard for children to eat meat. Jin Dang's family, do you want to continue like this? Let your children be the same as you in the future.

, go and carry the work with someone?"

Jin Gui burst into tears after a few words. He turned to look in the room. A large bowl of braised pork had already reached the bottom. The youngest one was holding the bowl, licking the remaining oil and water.

"I can't do anything!" he said in pain. "Of course I want to go back and get my own fields back, but how is that possible?"

"There is nothing impossible. As long as you do something for us, everything I just said can be fulfilled."

"What do you want me to do?" Jin Gui glanced at the room again and finally made up his mind.

"You have lived in Dishui Lane for two years, have you?"

"yes!"

"You know all the neighbors?"

"Of course I know that like me, they are all pitiful people, many of them are the craftsmen of the Gutai Shipyard. Now there is no shipyard, and these people have no work to do. Like me, they have today and tomorrow!

With your mouth, you'll be a day of trouble!"

"Very good. All we want is these people, Jin Dang's family. You are from the Northland. I have delivered this credit to you. If you can mobilize these boatmen to the Northland, you will have completed the mission!"

"It's that simple?" Jin Gui was a little confused.

"This is not simple!" Yang Er whispered: "Although these shipwrecks are now in the downfall, there are still people in the Jingzhou government office staring at them. It is a bit troublesome to get these people away without knowing it.

I'm telling you that the people in the yamen are keeping a close eye on us, and we can't do anything publicly, so we ask you to do this."

Yang Er did not tell Jin Gui that he was from the Zhifangsi. In fact, it was impossible for Jin Gui to know what the Zhifangsi is. In Jingzhou, Luowang and the Zhifangsi are becoming increasingly fierce. Now Beidi requires them to try their best to do as much as possible.

It is indeed a difficult problem for them to bring the people from the original Gutai Shipyard to Jiangbei. This is not just a problem for boatmen. If you don’t get their families away, these boatmen will not be able to follow you!

After searching for a long time, they found a suitable candidate like Jin Gui.

"You need to do something secretly and find the right staff. We need to have those kind of masters, small workers, etc., so don't want it!" Yang Er smiled and said, "Jin Dangjia, tell you the truth, this is risky, if you fail, you will fail.

, It is certain that you lose your head, but if you succeed!" Yang Er glanced at the room again, "At least your child will never have to be like this in the second half of his life, and he will be so happy to eat meat!"

Taking a long breath, Jin Gui said, "I did it. Living like this is not much worse than dying. My Jin family will never have a chance to make a comeback. Take a try, either succeed or die!"

"Very good, Jin Dang's generous family!" Yang Er took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, "Let my sister-in-law improve the food for the family, see how thin the dolls are!"

Jin Gui took the silver, picked up the wine pot in one hand, sucked the wine in the pot in one mouthful, and his face suddenly turned red, "What are you doing, you said!"

When the Jin family's wife took care of the child to sleep, Yang Er had already left. Jin Gui walked into the house staggeringly, hugged his wife, and murmured: "Wife, I want to take a try. If you can't let you live in the past
