Chapter 796 The old nobleman
In the evening, the family was eating delicious rice, dried salted fish, and two vegetables, and tears were shedding from joy.
This day is like a dream, and it is unbelievable.
Nowadays, this life is not only something they dare not imagine when they ran away in tears, but also something they have never experienced when they were in the early years of their great cause.
One hundred and fifty acres of land, plus Xu Ling's 150 acres, that is three hundred acres of land.
"Leng'er, you said that our family only has six people. What kind of land is there for these 300 acres of land?"
No matter how extensive and harvested it, I even took out a lot of land to plant mulberry, hemp, locust dates, etc., and then fell a little, but there were still a lot of these lands.
"Dad, I got rewards a few times before. His Majesty ascended the throne and the superiors sent back rewards, so I planned to take some money out and buy a cow first and then a horse."
Cattle can plow the land, horses can also plow the land, pull carts, and sometimes transport them.
"Isn't it cheap?" Mr. Xu said with some concern.
"Our general said that the soldiers of the government can be purchased through the military government, and there are discounts. The cattle and horses transported from Liaodong are all from Xi Qi and others. We have an internal price. A big cattle is only four or five thousand yuan, and the horse is not much more expensive."
"It's so cheap?"
My father exclaimed, he used to rent land for the landlord's family, and the landlord had cows, but the cows could not be borrowed. If he borrowed his cows to plow the land, he would have to rent a cow for 10% of the income in the field.
"It's hard to raise cattle and horses, especially this horse, who eats a lot and eats essence."
"Dad, it's hard to raise a war horse. If it's just an ordinary horse, it's not that expensive."
"You have a fire now, don't you still have to prepare horses and mules? You still have to prepare armies, right?"
"Don't worry about this. The army was prepared before, and the armies, horses and mules were all matched. From now on, I will pay the money in installments every year and make up for it slowly, without any extra interest."
Mr. Xu was surprised, "There is such a good thing. No wonder Your Majesty can win the world. He treats the people of the world so well."
Xu Len thought to himself that it was not good to everyone, and it was not that good to the Goguryeo people. "Dad, I remember that we all commanded the commander and said that a large number of slaves would be transported over from above. At that time, I would probably be able to get a Goguryeo slave. If you want to buy it, there would be discounts."
"How much does it cost? Men and women, old and young?" Mr. Xu was moved. If these people in the family went to train for war, he would be the only one strong man in the family. He was older, and his second son was only fifteen and had not yet grown up.
It would be nice if you could buy slaves to help with your work.
"I heard that if you sell outside, a young and strong Goguryeo male slave in Qingdao Port would cost twenty cents. However, if we buy it, it might only cost more than ten cents and can be paid in installments."
"Is this installment payment really reliable?" Dad was always a little worried.
"Don't worry, this is the emperor's preferential treatment for the soldiers of the government. For example, buying a Goguryeo slave can be divided into 18 periods, one season and one period, and only one period will be paid for the same period, and there is no interest."
My father thought to himself that if he had paid back in four and a half years, he would have eighteen guan coins and 300 acres of land, but he would not have to pay it back. If there was no interest, he would have no worries.
"Son, the saint is such a kind emperor. You must repay your kindness."

Chang'an.
Yin Shi Zheng had a secret meeting with more than a dozen nobles including Gu Yi.
"We are so kind to the Dutch country, and we are deeply grateful to the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty. Now that Li Yuan wants to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, how can we sit down and watch?"
Gu Yi also stood up and said, "Even if the Great Sui Dynasty has been exhausted, we should do our best to protect the emperor."
Seeing that it was almost done, Yin Shishi Master said, "When we waited to capture and kill Li Yuan's traitor, then we would like to represent Emperor Fan Yang as the righteous minister of Guanzhong, protect Yang's room, and also find a way out for everyone."
Everyone didn't understand the current situation at this time. Basically, those who could come here were Li Yuan who was excluded after entering the pass. Because of this reason, they could not stand in Li Yuan's new dynasty. So under the instigation of Yinshi Master Gu Yi, they simply united to kill Li Yuan, and then surrendered to the Emperor of Qin with Guanzhong, and also sought a position in the Xin Dynasty.
Luoyang.
Wang Shichong was like a trapped beast with red eyes at this time.
"Mr. Zheng, Luoyang has no food, please open a warehouse and release the grain."
An official asked Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong said with red eyes, "Get out? Where can I put out the grain? Just a little bit of food, and I have to guarantee the soldiers. If I put it for the people, it will take a few more days to eat, do I still want to fight?"
"Mr. Zheng, now the grain in Luoyang City has been sold for ten thousand yuan, and there is even a price of no grain. Only with gold can you exchange for food. The people are going crazy, and some people have already started eating human flesh."
Some bold people in the city joined forces to go outside the city to slaughter and sell meat, and act as pork. Who doesn’t know that it is human flesh? But if you are hungry for a few times, who will care about it?
There is even the more abominable person who goes to the mass grave outside the city every night, dig out the bodies that were discarded after starving to death, and then transported them back to the city to slaughter and sell meat.
People have already eaten people, and Luoyang has become hell.
Wang Shichong was also helpless.
He attacked Li Mi four times, but ended up being defeated four times.
Every time he loses his troops and generals. Although he relies on his ability, he retreats every time. If this continues, Luoyang will become a dead city. If Li Mi comes again, what will he resist?
"Prime Minister, it really doesn't work. Why don't we just join Fan Yang!"
A minister said helplessly.
Wang Shichong stared at the man fiercely and waved his hand.
"Put down this traitor who dares to surrender and kill him. If anyone dares to surrender again, he will be killed."
However, after killing one person, the chaos in Luoyang City did not stop.
Even Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, who were both the prime ministers of the regent, were already secretly discussing to reign Luoyang and surrender to Luo Cheng.
These people followed Wang Shichong's encouragement and refused to accept Li Yuan's orders and established another emperor. In fact, they wanted to fight for orthodoxy. If Luoyang won in the future, they would naturally be rich and noble.ww.
But no one expected that they could not even deal with Li Mi. At the moment, no one still imagined that Luoyang could still win the world.
Therefore, the people who woke up, especially the nobles of Yuan Wen, were even more unwilling to follow Wang Shichong to be buried with them. They just wanted to retain their aristocratic status and their power and property.
Under the contact of those who are interested, Yuan Wendu Lu Chu and other ministers in Luoyang City had gradually reached an agreement.
But now they want to surrender Luo Cheng, there is another big problem, that is, Wang Shichong, who has fully grasped the military power of Luoyang.
All the officials of the small court were willing to surrender to Qin, but the generals of the military were all Wang Shichong's confidants, so he didn't want to surrender.
late at night.
A letter suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Wendu's desk.
He opened it in surprise, and after reading it, he took a few long breaths.
