The Lai family in Xinghua Village is a famous gentry with a radius of hundreds of miles. It is said that during the Taizu period, there were a doctor in the family. Although there were no famous figures since then, there were also several scholars and juren. The Lai family has been entrenched here for many years and has a deep foundation. The nearby gentry cannot bear the favor. Last year, when Mu Sheng attacked Sichuan, the Lai family also made efforts and raised a lot of money and food for the official army. However, these things were great contributions in the past, but now they dare not mention them again, because the thieves in the past have now become soldiers. Because of this dark history, the Lai family has lived in peace for some time...

But when the Holy Law was promulgated, the Lai family would not be able to settle down.

The Lai family has only nine people, but the land is more than 14,000 acres. This means that if the Holy Law is really implemented, then the 13,000 acres of land in the Lai family will not be preserved. Now everyone is in a tense position to sell the land, but even if you sell it, the land will not be cared for now. The loss in this way is so great that it almost means digging out the foundation of the Lai family.

Originally, the Lai family and many gentry had a tacit understanding, but they did not object, but they would never pay attention to it, so they just made a hob. Anyway, the government's government orders were the same, but when they went to the countryside, they could not help them.

Could it be that the government still wears a knife and put it on its neck?

Even if the servants in the government go to the countryside, they dare not make things difficult for them easily. As long as they have no choice but to conceal the information from the superiors, they will be unable to move forward as long as they do not ferment.

In fact, in all dynasties, the court has been perfunctory in such perfunctory decrees. It is precisely because of this stubborn disease that Zhu Yuanzhang was often furious. He believed that the root of the problem lies in the unfavorable affairs of officials, so he treated the local officials as weeds. He cut them one after another, but in the end the arrogant Emperor Taizu lost in the end, because the problem is certainly the responsibility of local officials, and to some extent it comes from the gentry of the Lai family. It is difficult to implement any decrees without the support of the gentry. The court wants to study, everyone is willing to support, and the court wants to build bridges. They are not unwilling to give up, but the court wants to move their land, or raise taxes, or even involve their fundamental interests, which is delusion.

This was done in the past, but now, in the face of Hao Fenglou, it is naturally the same.

But the problem arose again. As long as everyone doesn't say anything, things can pass. However, in this country, there are variables. The variables are these sentencing students. The Lai family soon discovered that a student went to the village and rented a village and started teaching. He brought his own dry food and did not charge any tuition. He helped people take their half-aged children, and sometimes helped some tenants write letters. Occasionally in the evening, he went to the valley to chat with some idle men.

It's okay. Gradually, this person gained the trust of the villagers, and this person began to talk about the holy Dharma vividly, telling everyone that relying on the land and glory and wealth for generations is the greatest injustice in the world. Although His Highness, Dingnan, is not equally in power, needs to improve this situation.

How to improve it? That is to minimize the value of the land so that everyone can afford to save some money because each person owns no more than 100 acres of land. In this way, many surplus land will be sold on the market at a lower price. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, the land they can own is limited, and the price of this land will naturally plummet.

This so-called method has a lot of reasons for housing prices in later generations. If a household only allows only two properties to own at most, then the "homeowners" who own dozens or hundreds of houses have to sell their excess properties in large quantities. The supply of large amounts of property will inevitably lead to a plummeting housing prices. Because house hoarders can only buy two, most of the new houses on the market are those who have no houses. The collapse of the old supply and demand system will naturally lead to a plummeting housing prices.

Naturally, the things involved in houses in later generations are more complicated, but the land is not involved in much at present.

In the past, no one told these farmers about these things. After hearing the student's words, many people couldn't help but start to think. When people have thought, the original system could not be maintained. Only then did the Lai family realize that if they were indulged in this way, there would be no need for the government. At that time, these farmers would have to eat themselves alive. After all, they were violators. Once they were instigated by those who were interested, who would know what would happen in the end. In the face of the superiors, they could not withstand the pressure of the government. In the face of the superiors, the tenant farmers and farmers began to be active. If this continues, how could the Lai family maintain it?

In fact, all the gentry faced this situation, so many small actions came out, but the Lai family took the most intense measures. They directly bribed the person, found the student and beat him up, and then drove him out of the village.

Of course, Grand Master Lai knew that it would not be so easy to deal with this matter, so at the first moment, he began to seek relationships and greet the people in the government. If he really couldn't handle it, he would probably hand over the few Laizi who beat people to punish him.

Early this morning, as usual, Grandpa Lai wanted to take his eldest son to the village to inspect his own oil mill. On the way to the oil mill, he had to pass a piece of land. Every time he passed by, Grandpa Lai felt a sense of satisfaction. A few days ago, he invited his husband to see it and said that this land was an extremely rare treasure cave. So the matter behind Grandpa Lai was settled. Thinking that he could still protect his descendants and benefit generations, he felt much more refreshed.

He was old and should have arranged many things behind him. His ancestors' foundation was in his hands. Although he had not been promoted, he was still able to maintain his achievements. As for the matter of the student, he had already left behind him.

But when we arrived at the village entrance, an accident happened.

The scattered men began to appear. They were all soldiers, not holding guns, but wearing swords. They were not marching in line, but scattered soldiers in combat form, swaying along the ridges of the fields, along the paths, or in nearby mountains and forests.

Mr. Lai's eyes were blurred, but his eldest son could see clearly and couldn't help but say, "Dad, he's forgiven the bandits... no, he's an officer and a soldier..."
