Seeing Cui'er's nervous movements and expectant eyes, Li Jiawang rubbed her soft hair with his hand and said with a smile: "Who said that! If my brother takes action, one can stand up to the other, then there are things that I can't solve because of your brother!
"
Hearing Li Jiawang's words, Cui'er jumped up happily and said, "Brother is the most banging!"
When Li Jiawang returned to Zhou's house with the happy Cui'er, the world had dimmed. In this country where there were no computers, TVs or other entertainment programs, after the sky dimmed, there was only the human-creation movement as an entertainment activity.
In this world, Li Jiawang can only stay quietly in the room. Originally, he could practice the Diamond Art or spend the long night with Maya, but here, he can neither practice nor have Maya to accompany him, so he has to think about where he should be in this world.
World, do something to relieve your boredom.
Early the next morning, Li Jiawang and Cui'er went to the town of Luodan with Mr. Zhou to purchase some items for the wedding. They saw patches of deserted land on the road. Li Jiawang asked Mr. Zhou strangely: "Why?"
Dad, why are there so many wastelands here? Why don’t you mine some of them? In that case, your life won’t be so tight?”
Hearing Li Jiawang's words, Mr. Zhou sighed and said helplessly: "Of course we fishermen want to open up the wasteland here, but the wasteland here has an owner, and we cannot open up the wasteland without the owner's permission.
"
"How could there be an owner in the wasteland here!" Li Jiawang was immediately surprised.
"What you don't know is that hundreds of miles around us are under the jurisdiction of the town of Luodan. At the same time, except for the place where we live, all other lands are owned by the big families in the town. We fishermen are okay, we can
Kao makes a living by fishing. Although life is a bit harder, at least he still has personal freedom and is guaranteed not to starve to death. Farmers living in the interior can only cultivate the land of those families. Their life and death are controlled by those families.
If you have to hand over most of the harvested grain to the owners of the land, you can only get a little bit of grain. Even if you only eat two meals a day, it is not enough." Mr. Zhou shook his head.
Hearing this, Li Jiawang was shocked. He did not expect that on this countryless island, the life of farmers was even harder than that of farmers in ancient China. Although most farmers in ancient China did not have enough to eat, in some good places
Nian Jing might have met some enlightened landlords who could still afford food and clothing, so he couldn't help but ask: "Don't these farmers know how to resist?" Li Jiawang knew that in history, Chinese farmers had the power to resist.
He didn't believe that the farmers here were so oppressed that they wouldn't resist.
"Who said they wouldn't resist? They resisted many times, but each time they were brutally suppressed. Under the swords of those family warriors, they peasants had no resistance at all and could only become pigs to be slaughtered.
Sheep. In the end, after paying huge casualties, they were still unable to win. In addition, those families bought a group of traitors. Under the instigation of the traitors and the threat of the samurai swords of those families, they finally chose to compromise and farm honestly.
, use that meager amount of food to feed his family, and then begin to think of every possible way to let his descendants join the big family so that they can live a good life." Mr. Zhou said with gritted teeth, if it weren't for those families in Luodan Town
If you don't allow yourself to reclaim this wasteland, how can your family's life be so difficult?
"Dad, which family does this wasteland belong to?" Li Jiawang asked curiously. He saw that this piece of land was very fertile. If it could be cultivated, it would become a fertile farmland and produce countless grains.
"This wasteland! It belongs to the Wang family. I heard that the Wang family is one of the two major families in the small town of Luodan, and is also a distant branch of a big family in a big city. It is extremely powerful." Mr. Zhou looked at it with nostalgia.
Looking at the wasteland, he said that if the wasteland here could be reclaimed, his family's life would not be so tight.
Hearing Mr. Zhou's words, Li Jiawang couldn't help asking: "Godfather, how did you know these things?"
"Every time I go to town to sell fish, I will chat with acquaintances and customers. I hear these things from their mouths." Zhou Laoyi said with a smile.
Li Jiawang responded with an "Oh", and then stopped talking. Instead, he lowered his head and started thinking. The farmers here live in such hardship, and their resistance must be very high. If it weren't for the lack of strong military support, it would be impossible to say that
Maybe they have already woken up and put down their resistance. If this is used properly, you can definitely achieve unexpected results.
As for powerful force, although Li Jiawang does not have it now, as long as he can contact Maple Leaf City, he can immediately summon a large number of masters to come here. Therefore, his desire for force is not very strong. In his opinion, as long as he can
With the support of the farmers who account for 80% of the population here, he can control everything here. At the same time, he can also select a large number of young people with better qualifications and loyalty to himself from these farmers to train and serve as his ruler in the future.
forceful tools.
In his thoughts, Li Jiawang and his party came to the small town of Luodan. After arriving here, Mr. Zhou went alone to send invitations to some friends and purchase some items for the wedding, while Li Jiawang took Cui'er to a clothing store to buy some.
The clothes were gone, but after visiting several clothes stores, Li Jiawang couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "It's troublesome for a woman to buy clothes, and it's troublesome for a daughter to buy clothes." So he simply gave it to Cui'er.
A dozen gold coins allowed her to buy her own clothes, and then she went to Cui Er
With resentful eyes, he walked into a hotel to drink.
Li Jiawang sat down at a window seat in the hotel, casually ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of wine, and while looking at the people on the street outside the window, he listened to the conversations of the drinkers around him. After a while, he heard
A lot of useful information, and I sighed in my heart: "The hotel deserves to be a well-informed place!"
Just as he was sighing, a young man dressed in a poor manner walked into the hotel, walked straight to Li Jiawang, sat down and asked: "Brother, can you sit here?"
Hearing his question, Li Jiawang couldn't help but look at him. Seeing that although he was dressed in a poor way, his eyes flashed from time to time, knowing that he was not a simple person, so he said lightly: "Okay."
At the same time, he shouted to the waiter: "Bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and serve some special side dishes and a bottle of wine."
After the waiter set out the dishes, the young man picked up the jug and got himself a glass of wine. Then he raised his glass and said to Li Jiawang: "Come on, brother, I want to toast you." After that, he poured out the wine in the glass.
After finishing the drink, he sighed and said: "To be able to gather with my brothers today is a hundred years of fate. It's a pity that there is no fine wine to accompany me. It would be great if there was a pot of maple leaf wine."
When Li Jiawang heard what the other party said, he smiled excitedly. Since the other party knew about Maple Leaf Wine, it can be seen that this place should be connected with Maple Leaf City. It should not be difficult for him to return to Maple Leaf City, so he poured the wine into the cup.
After finishing the wine, he pretended to be m-hu- and asked: "Brother, what is this maple leaf wine? Why do you think so highly of it?"
The other party raised his head and glanced at Li Jiawang, and said in a disdainful tone: "You don't know about Maple Leaf Wine. It seems that you are not a person of my wine generation! Let me tell you that Maple Leaf Wine is a newly produced wine in mainland China. Everyone who has the ability will
They are all proud to drink this wine, but it is a pity that the price of this wine is too expensive. I also drank it once."
"Brother, do you know where this maple leaf wine came to us?" Li Jiawang asked with concern.
"This maple leaf wine was delivered by a merchant from Pearl Island. Each bottle costs one thousand gold coins, which is extremely expensive." The young man may have been stunned by the price, and shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Li Jiawang put aside his nervousness and asked calmly: "Jia Wang, what do you call me brother?"
"Zhong Weiming"
Next, Li Jiawang and Zhong Weiming chatted slowly. Li Jiawang learned a lot of information about the island's geography, power distribution and resource status from him. As the chat progressed, Li Jiawang couldn't help but admire him.
Unexpectedly, although the other party is not very old, he knows a lot and has his own unique opinions on some things.dd
