Chapter 4 Knock out the bone and suck the marrow

Chao Gai took Chao Yong and greeted several acquaintances of the squires. After standing there for a short time, he saw the magistrate walking out accompanied by his father-in-law, who had a white face and no beard.

When all the country gentry saw that the magistrate came out with the envoy from Kuotian, they all bowed to him.

But the father-in-law just glanced at the people in the hall and didn't reply, then he swaggered and sat down at the main seat.

Chao Yong couldn't help but curiously look at the eunuch sitting in the lobby. Although he had seen many "eunuchs" on TV in later generations, this was the first time he saw a real eunuch, so naturally he had to take a good look.

Her face is pale and beardless, less masculine than a man's and more feminine than a woman's, and not as charming as a descendant of the Thai shemale. It can only be said that she is neither male nor female, which makes people look a little scary.

Chao Yong shuddered and withdrew his attention.

The county magistrate bowed his waist and served the father-in-law a cup of tea himself, and then said to everyone: "The county has notified people about Kuotian a few days ago, and you must have brought the land deeds with you. Master Wang, go and collect them all."

Although the squires were reluctant to give up, the public land was notoriously dangerous, so they all brought the land deeds with them due to their lustful power.

Several squires, who were usually very filial to the magistrate, originally had some ideas, but after hinting to the magistrate several times, they saw that he completely ignored him and only served the father-in-law carefully. They did not dare to make any mistakes, so they had to hand over the land deeds in full.

.

"Sir, the land deeds have been collected."

After a while, the master collected all the land deeds and handed them over to the magistrate.

When all the squires saw that the magistrate handed over the land deeds to the eunuch, they knew that the land had nothing to do with them anymore.

The accumulation of several generations disappeared in one day, and several elderly squires seemed to have their backbones taken away in an instant, and they were crumbling.

Chao Yong looked at everyone's reaction and couldn't help but sigh. It seems that spending money to buy peace has been inevitable throughout the ages.

The father-in-law took the land deed, then put down his arrogance, raised his eyes to look at everyone, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Huang Zhixian has indeed done a good job in educating people. You and other people have also realized the majesty of the imperial court, which has saved our family a lot of trouble. Today

This time, the eight hundred miles of Liang Mountain and Water Park belong to the public land. Naturally, the things on the ground also belong to the public land. Our family will wait for you for three more days. After three days, the public land will send someone to take over your house in order to manage the nearby public land.

.”

A country squire was already heartbroken. When he heard that the house was being expropriated, he couldn't hold it any longer. He knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Excellency, you are aware that we have been living here for generations. Today, you are going to expropriate us."

Ancestral home, don’t you want me to leave my hometown? I hope you can take it back.”

Previously, the official document from the county did not mention the matter of houses. Everyone thought that if they donated their land, they would be safe. Unexpectedly, the public land office was so greedy and wanted to seize everyone's ancestral homes. They all knelt on the ground and begged.

Chao Yong saw a flash of anger on Chao Gai's face, and quickly pulled Chao Gai's sleeves and knelt down behind everyone.

Chao Yong has not fully integrated himself into this era, so he has been watching it as if it were a TV series. Naturally, he is a bystander and whispers: "Dad, calm down, there is no way around this matter."

When Chao Gai heard this, he was surprised and said: "Why did Yong'er say this?"

"If this matter was as irreversible as that of Kuotian, the county would have informed it immediately before, and it would have saved a lot of time. Why waste any more words here?"

"Then what did you say they did?"

Chao Gai thought it was reasonable when he heard it. Looking at his son who was much smarter, he felt much less sad and angry that his family's fields were taken away.

Nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic. Although the Chao family has lost its land, it still has a lot of wealth. However, the public servant is more vicious than the weeds in the rivers and lakes, seeking wealth and killing people at every turn. If Chao Yong had been reckless

Impulsively, Chao Gai was really worried that he would ruin the Chao family's business in the future.

"In my opinion, they just want to defraud some money. Dad, let's give it a try."

Chao Gai saw that Chao Yong's words were eloquent, nodded, and said loudly: "If you can save us from the pain of leaving our hometown, Chao Gai is willing to pay 500 yuan, and please choose another place to build and manage the house."

When everyone heard this, they quickly followed suit and said, "We are willing to pay."

The father-in-law listened to everyone crying for a while and became impatient. Seeing that everyone finally woke up, he pinched an orchid finger, raised a finger, and said sharply: "We don't want to embarrass you, but this is the rule of the public land."

, public land management also requires a house. But building a new house costs a lot, and five hundred guan is probably not enough. A thousand guan, if you can all contribute a thousand guan, our family will take care of it for you and choose another place to build a house.

"

At that time, people still valued their ancestral property, and they were all rich people in the countryside who were used to being comfortable. After experiencing this crisis, they were no longer willing to leave their hometowns to buy houses and fields. If they bought fields elsewhere, they would be excluded.

, wouldn’t he die unjustly?

Moreover, the roads are not smooth now and migration is not safe.

Hearing that there was room for maneuver, everyone immediately agreed.

In just one day, all the squires handed over the money in full, so that the house was safe and safe, and there were no unnecessary problems or changes.

Chao Yong returned to his old life, working hard every day and dancing with guns and sticks.

On this day, when Chao Yong was taking a rest, Chao Gai came over and said, "Yong'er, you used to make a lot of noises about going to explore the world. Why haven't you talked about it lately?"

"My child used to be young and ignorant, and thought that he could achieve such a great reputation with just a little strength. Now he is stronger than his father, but it is difficult to defeat him. Only then did he realize the importance of fists and sticks. Therefore, during this period,

The boy has been practicing boxing hard so that he can become famous in the future."

Chao Gai saw that his son's words were clear and logical, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, dad has been paying attention to you these days. Although you are just getting started with the boxing stick, with your strength, you are enough to protect yourself. Zhuang

There are not very good bankers in the world, so sparring with them is no longer of much use. Dad intends for you to walk around the world and meet heroes from all walks of life. On the one hand, you can improve your skills, and on the other hand, you can make more friends and brothers.

.”

At this time, Chao Yong knew that the weeds in his family would probably happen again. Without the huge income from land, the village had to support many people, and it would cost a lot of money for food and clothing.

In addition, Chao Gai was well-known for his righteousness and wealth, and many people came to visit him on weekdays. Every time Chao Gai would entertain him with wine and meat, and he would also provide money and expenses before leaving. It can be said that the expenses were very high.

In the Water Margin, Bai Sheng, the day rat who robbed the birthday card together, and He Qing from Huangnigang recognized Chao Gai, and they both came to Chao Gai's manor to win and dine.

Although the Chao family has accumulated a lot of furniture, they cannot afford to go through such trouble.

When there is no way to survive, if the birthday card comes to the door, Chao Gai will still have to take it for his own use, and the subsequent results will probably not be changed. After all, it is difficult to transport a lot of property, even if the official cannot catch Bai Sheng.

There are always traces to follow.

Chao Yong wanted to change the shame of Jingkang, so naturally he would not remind Chao Gai, but he would speed up the pace of recruiting heroes.

In Water Margin, Song Jiang brought many leaders up the mountain from the rivers and lakes, and then slowly ousted Chao Gai. As a result, Chao Gai was unable to gather a group of his confidants even in Zengtou City, and died inexplicably by arrows.

Chao Yong had long wanted to go out and meet some heroes, so as to lay the foundation for becoming the king of the mountain and rising up in the future. However, he felt insecure and lacked an opportunity when he just traveled through time. This time when Chao Gai took the initiative to bring it up, he immediately said: "Dad,

What I’m saying is that my child also feels that he has not made much progress with his boxing and sticks recently, and he wants to go for a walk in the world."

"Okay, then you go and talk to your mother. Tomorrow you will take Chao San for a walk around the capitals of Jingdong. Chao San followed the housekeeper across the states since he was a child. He has only returned to the village in these years, and he knows a lot about the customs of various places.
