Chapter 452 Autumn Fu (VIII)

All in all, the yield per mu of the [-] mu of paddy fields planted by Tiandihui is [-]% higher than in the past.This performance is enough to make people jaw-dropping -- no wonder people say that Australians have secret methods of farming.

"If Zhang Tian didn't make trouble, this year's annual harvest would be much higher." Liu Guangbiao expressed regret, "San Bo! I will lease all the land to Tiandihui in the spring of next year..." He stopped suddenly , probably felt wrong.

Liu Youren didn't say anything, all the land was contracted to Tiandihui, wouldn't the Australians know exactly how much land they have?He sighed, this is really a dilemma.

"Guangbiao, I think it would be better if the Australians did the work of Zhangtian themselves."

"Uncle San?" Liu Guangbiao was puzzled.With the attitude of the Australians who will kill every inch and their terrifying ability to handle affairs, I am afraid that not to mention only half of the report, even the treacherous fields under their own name will not be able to escape.

"Australians are strict in handling things, but their governance is more lenient than the government." Liu Youren whispered, "Where it should be strict, it should be strict, and where it should be lenient, it should be lenient-the so-called 'combination of leniency and strictness'. In contrast, the government is somewhat Recklessly……"

"Third Uncle!" Liu Guangbiao was taken aback. What San Uncle said was almost rebellious. Although Lingao is a place far away from the emperor, the government still has prestige. "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hmph, of course this is between you and me." Liu Youren said.Let's deal with the matter like this for the time being, and listen to what he has to say after Chief Yun arrives before making any further plans.

For more than half a month, such negotiations and bargaining have been going on in every big household in the county.An atmosphere of tension and uneasiness hangs over the heads of each family, and the families who have some relationship with each other are walking around to inquire about news.The big family that had contacts with Tiandihui immediately became the focus of the whole county, and the people who came to visit almost broke through the threshold.Even the nouveau riche that the rich have always looked down upon: Lin Quan'an, who made his fortune by purchasing goods for Australians, "Quanfuhang", suddenly became a favorite. People came to visit every two days, some left gifts and left, and some Sit down and talk nonsense all over the place.It was so loud that he didn't know what to say.

In addition to Lin Quan'an, there is "Runshitang". The business of this pharmacy suddenly became very good. Suddenly, someone in a wealthy family became "sick" and asked Yang Shixiang, the owner of "Runshitang", to see a doctor by name. Doctors come from the same source, and he usually helps the world with his pot, but he didn't expect so many people to suddenly get sick.

Of course, no specific information could be obtained from these people.Not to mention people like Lin Quanan and Yang Shixiang who have nothing to do with the fields, even Zhang Youfu, who claims to be the closest to the Australians and the most well-informed, has not been able to disclose the content.

On the contrary, the small grain households with no wealth and power did not disturb this time.They have no extra acres to report, and some even bear the food tax of fields that are not their own at all, so there will be no big oil and water if they are squeezed.Of course, this is not because Chen Minggang let them go out of kindness—the subordinates are masters who cannibalize people without spit out their bones. There is a lot of oil and water, and oil is squeezed out of the stones—but Chen Minggang thinks that the Australians mainly want to rectify For big households, it doesn’t make much sense to crowd out small households who have spent a lot of time and effort. They can’t achieve results, and it is easy to cause rebounds from small households.Chen Minggang felt that the attitude of the Australians towards the common people was completely different from the attitude of the Ming government towards the common people.If something really happens, it is certain that I will make it boring.

The frequent tandem traffic of big households gave the General Administration of Political and Security an excellent opportunity. Based on this, the monitoring department of the Operations Department drew up a "map of the relationship between large households in the county".When Chinese people encounter difficulties, the first thing they look for is their relatives and friends. This time, we can get a general idea of ​​how close they are to each other.

Liu Dalin's family also became the focus of the vortex.When Huang Tikun visited his home for the first time.Liu Dalin was noncommittal to the question he raised.In his opinion, the matter of clearing up the fields is reasonable-no matter whether there are Australians or not, such tricks as Yin Tian and Gu Ji will damage the revenue of the court.

Of course, from a personal emotional point of view, vital interests are always taken care of.When the interests of individuals and the government collide, most people still choose to protect their own interests.In the past, Liu Dalin's family was just a middle-class property. Since his father's generation began to have a family name, the official exemption amount was enough to exempt all his family's money and food, but people always have relatives and friends to take care of.They were all from close relatives and close friends—he was not a saint after all, so he agreed.Over time, unconsciously, the land under the name of the Liu family has increased to a thousand acres.

This time, Liu Dalin himself was not harassed about Zhang Tian's incident—Chen Minggang knew that the Australians respected this Jinshi and wanted to use him, so he did not send food as in previous years.Even the old practice of coming to the door at this time to ask An Daqiufeng to get some money is avoided.

But Chen Minggang still planned to kill the prestige of this Liu Jinshi who no one dared to touch in the past.He didn't send food to Liu Dalin, but the landowners who secretly sent it under his name were not so lucky this time.Chen Minggang had a very clear list in his hand, knowing the amount of land that each family had entrusted to Liu Dalin, so he directly sent these landowners Liangyou, asking them to report the amount of land within a limited time in preparation for the expropriation.

Now, the Liu family's three relatives, close relatives and friends all fell out.Everyone knew that Chen Minggang was a vicious and difficult person, so they hurried to the city to see Liu Dalin, asking him for advice.The Liu family's house in the west gate of the county was suddenly crowded with sedan chairs and servants.

Like all scholars, Liu Dalin prefers to be quiet and not to be noisy. Since his legs and feet are inconvenient, he rarely goes out. Now that many relatives and friends have come here all of a sudden, they all want to see him and ask him to make up his mind and find a way , Do negotiations.The commotion made him bewildered, and he only asked the housekeeper to deal with it, and hid in the study by himself.

Hearing the noisy voices in front of him, Liu Dalin felt helpless.He felt ashamed of his relatives and friends, but also hated them.It seems that my help is a matter of course.

His family is full of scholars for many generations. His grandfather has no scientific name, but he has a literary name.His father was a magistrate.He is a Jinshi again.It can be called the home of the famous gentry in this county.In the past, as long as you write a film and send it to the county government, you can do anything.Now, no matter how many films are sent to the county government, it may not help—you have to negotiate with the Australians.

But dealing with Australians is the last thing he wants to do.

In terms of the Australians' preferential treatment and respect for him, if he is willing to come forward to deal with him, the Australians will always buy him some face, and there is room for things to change.But he really didn't want to do it.

Although the Australians have never done anything bad, they are always alienated people, disobeyed by the king, and built cities and buildings in Lingao without authorization, which is like a separatist force.I had always avoided it, how could I easily provoke them!If the Kun thief intends to use him and asks someone to do things himself, he will inevitably fall into the trap.His fame will be ruined once.

But his relatives and friends had to explain something, otherwise he couldn't afford a "mean" reputation.

While he was worrying, he saw a servant girl who was serving his wife came. Seeing his gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak, but stood at the door of the house and poked his head around.

"What's the matter?" Liu Dalin still found him, "Come in and talk about something."

"Yes, master!" The servant girl hurried in, "Several uncles and concubines have come to see Madam. Now we are talking in the back hall, and they all want to come to see you. Madam is afraid that you are not feeling well, so I stopped you first..."

"Understood," Liu Dalin waved his hand, "You can step back."

The servant girl hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Madam, please see if you can take care of the relatives of your natal family..."

"You go back to serve Madam first, I have my own idea about this matter."

The maid backed out.It is said that it is "own idea", but in fact, it is not known where the idea is.Liu Dalin suddenly felt that there was no one around him to discuss with.

Of course he has friends, but these friends are not talking about sex and teaching, or poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.To say these things clearly and logically, when you really encounter practical things, you can't come up with any useful ideas.Everyone flattered him that "the morals are high and the conduct is clean, and the aspirations are bright."

After much deliberation, only Huang Tengkun, the second son of Mr. Huang in Huangjiazhai - he visited several days ago and asked himself how he would deal with the Zhangtian incident this time.Because the Liu family has enjoyed preferential treatment for the second generation since his father became an official, and apart from dealing with the subordinate staff who beat the autumn wind during New Years and festivals, they have not asked about food and taxes for a long time.For a while, I couldn't tell why.

Thinking about it now, the Huang family and his son can discuss it.Although the Huang family is a local tyrant, they have worked hard to defend their hometown for many years.Liu Dalin is quite enthusiastic about the affairs of the county, so he respects the Huang family father and son very much, and celebrates with each other.When Huang Tinkun passed the entrance examination, he even came to the door to congratulate him personally, which gave the Huang family a great deal of face.

Thinking of this, he felt a glimmer of light.Quickly turn the wheel of the wheelchair to the door and call the servant:

"Go and tell the masters that I know everything about them, and ask them to go back first, and there will be an answer at that time."

"Yes!" The servant was about to leave.

"Slow down!" Liu Dalin knew that most of the people in this group had sent gifts, "All the gifts given will be returned."

"Yes--"

"For the guests of Madam's natal family, don't accept gifts, just say the same thing!"

After finishing the order, he called a book boy who was close to him and ordered:

"You go to the county school and invite the second young master of the Huang family to come and talk."
