Chapter Eight hundred and Ninety-Three: Open up the world

Grandpa Lai was already shocked.+◆

He is an old man, and of course he expected many consequences, but he never expected this.

At this time, someone had already taken him back to the mansion. He found that it had been controlled. There was a rebellious villager on the ground lying in a pool of blood, and the rooms in his house were also controlled.

The scholar met the soldiers, and at this time, Lai Taigong was furious and could no longer bear it.

Immediately afterwards, he saw many people coming, many of whom were officials from Chengdu Prefecture, and a few of them were old acquaintances with Lai Taigong. But now, everyone's faces were cold and they all pretended to have no involvement with Lai Taigong.

One of them was wearing a python suit and murderous face. He carried his hands behind his back and came in crowded with everyone, saying bluntly: "Which one is Lai Youbao."

When Mr. Lai heard this, he had to bow down and said, "The villain Lai Youbao, but he didn't know what crime the villain committed, so why did he infringe on it."

Hao Fenglou just glanced at him and said, "You have the final say whether there is a crime or not, but I have the final say. Now that there are students who are killed in Xinghua Village, I don't look for others, of course I am looking for your Lai family. This account is not on your head. Is it not on your head? I have repeatedly obstructed the holy law and infringed on the students. The crime is a little more than a little. Do you really think this world is still your world? You have the final say on this king's law? It's really stupid. I don't know the world is high and the earth is rich. I still don't know how to repent. I still come to ask me what sins are there? Isn't this ridiculous?"

Hao Fenglou continued slowly, "When I came, I visited your home business very well. It's not bad, it's really rare to see that your Lai family has today's property. It's so difficult for our ancestors to start a business. My heart said that I also know that your home's things are not blown by the strong wind, but since you have to ask what the crime is, I might as well tell you that you are blocking the way, and since you and your people have become stumbling blocks, you have to go aside obediently. If you are obedient, I can still let you survive, but if you are disobedient, I will kick it away."

These words were stern, which made Lai Youbao's face change suddenly.

But Hao Fenglou said, "The person who came here was to confiscate the Lai family and the land was confiscated. All the males were sent to the Chongming Island as slaves."

Lai Youbao's face turned depressed and his expression changed suddenly. He couldn't help but wither.

This is a very good home.

The open fire-holding official army was naturally not polite. Amid the screams of female members, they all took action.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

News has spread in Chengdu Prefecture.

Although many people began to scold in private, a strange phenomenon occurred at this time. No one dared to speak on the table. These people finally knew that this guy named Hao was unreasonable. With the lessons of Lai Youbao, huge pressure was pressing on all the gentry.

Now the students have begun to become unscrupulous. These students promote holy Dharma everywhere in the countryside, so that the most uninformed old farmers now know what holy Dharma is.

In this way, the gentry not only endured the pressure from the superior government, but also endured the bad intentions of the subordinate tenants.

Finally, the Zhou family in Dongping started selling land, with a total of more than 7,000 acres, and the price was 20% lower than the market price. As soon as the Zhou family took action, each company finally couldn't hold on.

The land is falling and plummeting, just like an avalanche. From the past, a mu of fertile land was thirty taels of silver, but now it has suddenly fallen to twenty taels, but even twenty taels are still ignored. The land is rotten in its hands, but it has to be sold out. Moreover, more and more people have begun to enter the craze of selling land, so the plummet continues.

After a month of continuous decline, the land price was only seven taels of silver. The land price was unprecedented, so Langsan Money House began to appear. They issued special land purchase loans. However, farmers could claim loans from the money house, purchase land, and borrow seventy taels of silver to purchase land. After 20 years of loans, they had to say that the money house was doing some losses. If it were not for the purpose of cooperating with Dingnan King, the money house would never have done such a transaction.

After all, the interest rate of only five taels of silver in twenty years is basically considered to be a reverse payment at the current inflation rate.

Of course, money houses are not completely unprofitable at the moment. In normal times, all ordinary farmers have come into contact with money houses and want to promote money houses and become something that everyone is closely related to. With the remaining money, they can be deposited in. Someone admitted the banknotes issued by the money house and needed money. When they needed money, they no longer borrowed usury in the village, but instead borrowed from the money house. This kind of living habit can be cultivated from this time.

So, the land purchase boom finally began. The tenant farmers finally stopped renting the landlord's land, began to borrow from the money house, purchase land, and then used the land as collateral to repay the loan on time every year. Ordinary small farmers and middle-aged farmers also began to eat some land.

The so-called holy law has finally been promoted. Not only Chengdu Prefecture, but even other prefectures have begun to have similar situations. King Dingnan has already implemented holy law in Chengdu Prefecture. Many people predict that sooner or later this holy law will be implemented everywhere. With the lessons of Chengdu Prefecture, if you don’t take the opportunity to take off the excess land now, you are afraid that once the holy law is put on your neck in the future, it will be too late to sell the land.

The original gentry is now full of grief. They have lost their land as their economic foundation, so it is naturally impossible to affect the government. The so-called patriarchal law has become a joke now. The parents and security guards drawn from various places have finally gradually gained prestige. If the villages in the past were strong but weak, and the family occupied most of the land, the other families were just vassals of this family. Perhaps half of the people in the village were the long-term workers and tenants of this family. In this case, naturally, they became the uncrowned kings in the countryside. Now, these resources have been broken up, and the security guards appointed by the government have begun to appear extremely important.

Hao Fenglou's mood gradually improved. These chiefs and chiefs have now become their tentacles. After taking over the countryside, they finally made the government orders accessible.

Hao Fenglou began to issue literacy orders, of course, in the name of the Holy Law, requiring all ten-year-old children to learn to read and write. The school officials in the palace will conduct assessments and certifications every year. If a male student in the family passes the literacy assessment, the grain tax can be collected by one bucket per mu.

With this measure, more and more children were sent to the village school to study. Any measures taken by Hao Fenglou were not forced to some extent, nor were they like those men. They thought that reading and writing were for your own good and for your long-term considerations, so you should be grateful and obedient.

In fact, reading and writing are certainly a long-term consideration, but for many farmers, the long-term benefits of letting their children study are too far away and there are no real benefits. It is better to let their children do farm work at home and have multiple helpers, but now it is very different. Reading and reading and reading and passing the assessment is actually not difficult, but it only takes a year or two to study in the village. With the calculation, it only takes one year to make a full calculation, but you can enjoy the preferential treatment of grain tax for the rest of your life, which is a good deal for most farmers.

Therefore, the school in every village is crowded now. Not to mention half-aged children, young people in their twenties have also joined in. Every day, they are babbling scholars, which is very lively.

At the same time, the prefect began to book newspapers in Langshan, with all kinds of newspapers, and a whole truck was sent on time every month, with all kinds of news inside, including all kinds of news, the latest edict of King Pingnan, where something rare happened, the food prices have soared recently, the iron prices have plummeted, or a certain fleet has arrived on an uninhabited island, and many customs and customs on the island, etc., not only these, but also many stories of gods and ghosts, etc.

These newspapers will be delivered to each village, and the teachers in the village do not have textbooks after all, so they naturally use these newspapers to teach.

Many things in the newspaper were vividly spoken in the classroom, but to some extent it seemed like opening a window for everyone. In this village and community far away from the noisy, these people who may have been farming here for generations and never could have been separated from a hundred miles had begun to contact the outside world through these. Perhaps their imagination of Lang Son, King Ping Nan, trains, and sea boats was ridiculous, but once this imagination finally formed a certain kind of imagination through words, a new world and even a new worldview would undergo earth-shaking changes.

For example, in the valley, in the evening, many people gather together to cool off. In the past, men always talked about the length and short matters of the family, what women are nearby, and what men are like. Now, some people are beginning to talk about many military and national affairs, such as railways, bonds, Langshan Army, and conquest of India. Although these people always exaggerate and even ridiculous, even in later generations, if some people hear them, they will probably have a few sarcastic words. You untouchables are not the ruling class, but have the idea of ​​the ruling class, which is sad and sad. But for Hao Fenglou, it is a very incredible progress.
