Chapter Three Hundred and Twelve: The Disaster

It is understandable that Liu Yefa is anxious. He is a small family and business, so how can he withstand the trouble?

Seeing that this place is getting cheaper, how can we still live here?

His son has been staring in the county town recently, but was called back by his father. He asked, "I heard that a good acre of land is only thirteen pounds now? Do you know this?"

"Dad..." His son just complained, saying, "Now is the Thirteen Guan. When my son just came, he had just sold two acres of land in Dongcun. They were all fertile land, and the seller was the Thirteen Guan."

Liu Ye was so scared that he had only been one night. His face turned pale and he said for a long time: "You said, is this place still sold?"

His son was startled and thought his father was testing him: "You can't sell it. This is the land of our ancestors, how can we sell it?"

Who knew that Liu Ye stepped forward and shaved him directly and scolded him: "Rebellious son, can the things left by his ancestors be practiced like this? If this continues, the land price is not worth a dollar. I will sell it quickly. If we don't sell it, our Liu family will really lose. It depends on what you eat. Anyway, I will not be alive for a few years."

So the father and son went to ask for a guarantor in a hurry and went to the county seat. Unexpectedly, the place was already crowded. Several familiar faces, when everyone saw each other, they looked at each other. They also came to sell land, but there were very few people who came to buy land. They bought it up or down. Two days ago, the land price fell a little, and there were still some people who wanted to take advantage of it and spent more than 20 guan to take over. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, they fell more than ten guan. At this time, everyone knew that this land was probably worthless, so who would dare to buy it? If you buy it today, you would throw the money into the water, which was a tragic death.

At this time, someone shouted: "Baguan, Baguan, is there anything you want? Baguan is sold, the fertile land in Hedong, and the ones you want are delivered directly."

Unlike the powerful people like Liu Ye, there are also some small families who almost jumped off buildings and sold them. Some of them only had thirty or forty acres of land, which was just a little more than the thirty acres of land. Just because there were a few more acres of land, the treatment was very different. So for them, this land was just a hot potato, and I really wish I could give it to them for free. In fact, it is popular now that it is popular for free. Some people simply gave it to their poor relatives and kept it for thirty acres. Now there are all free gifts, and those lands that sold for more than ten cents are even less popular.

Liu Ye's face changed, this is about to end.

Eight stakes...just one acre of land. When I first came, didn’t I say thirteen stakes?

His son lowered his eyebrows from the side and said with a pleasing look: "Dad, there is one more thing I forgot to say."

"You said that." Liu Ye smiled bitterly.

"Several tenants in the family ran away early in the morning."

"Running?" Liu Ye was stunned. He couldn't help but angrily: "If I hadn't taken them in, they would have been experiencing the northwest wind. Running? Where could they run?"

"Today is different from the past... Now the land price is so low and the grain price is so low. They rented our land, and they had some extra money. They were waiting for the land price to be cheaper and bought a few acres of land. It is better to plant their own land than to plant it for others. Besides, Mengjin is also recruiting people, and it is said that the treatment is good."

Liu Ye's face turned pale: "That person surnamed Qin is really not a thing. This is to force us to death. Isn't he afraid of losing all the hearts of the people or the punishment of God?"

His son spread his hands: "The human heart has been lost a lot. Look at the Chen family, the Zhou family, and the Wang family are scolding him, but many people praise him for his goodness. Those small families and tenants always account for the majority."

Liu Ye thought about it and said that there were not many small households. After receiving the exemption from Shence Mansion, he also gave them all kinds of gifts and helped them grow cash crops. Isn’t this a big improvement? It’s really a good life. As for those tenants, they may not expect a piece of their own land in their lifetime. Now that the land price is so low, he has hope in his heart, and he should not give the thanksgiving to the Qin surnamed.

He smiled bitterly and said, "All tenants have to run away. If they don't run away, they have to offer them like Bodhisattvas. But the price of grain is so low. How can they provide them? The fields are not valuable, and there are no one to cultivate hundreds of acres of land in the family. Isn't this dead? I think this is not enough. I quickly sell the land and leave thirty acres of land... We still have a winery, so we won't starve to death."

"There is one more thing, the price of wine has also plummeted, plummeting half."

At this moment, Liu Ye couldn't hold on anymore, and almost didn't sag, and the price of wine also dropped.

In fact, wine is made of grains. If the grains fall, the price of wine will naturally fall. However, Liu Ye didn't expect it to fall so quickly.

"Mengjin has also been stocked up for a long time, and it is sold at the price of capital, and it is also sold as much as it is."

"This...this..." Liu Ye suddenly felt dizzy and suddenly realized that he was going to be finished. He staggered, and his son was busy supporting him. Many people were still shouting: "Qiguan, someone wants Qiguan. If no one wants it, just give it to his family, Qiguan... is the lowest."

The wind... was so cold that it was chilly. When Liu Ye saw the high plaque in the county, he suddenly felt like the sky fell.

The sky...it really collapsed.

What has been affected is not only the powerful people in various counties, but the Hongnong County is already full of wailing.

Their family has a great business and can hold on to it, but they can hold on. Anyway, they are self-sufficient, making wine, growing vegetables by themselves, and raising cattle and horses by themselves, but they can withstand such blows.

Even if the land price is cheaper for a while, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the land price fluctuates, and one day it will rise. Some people even made a wishful thinking at first, wanting to take advantage of the low land price and collect more land, but they have made all the plans, but they have forgotten one thing and people are trying to move.

A large number of tenants resigned.

This is a matter of course. Who is willing to farm for you? Your land is not worth much money. If I plant it for you, it is better to buy your own property. Even if you have a few relatives with a lot of land, they will give it to you for free. If you have land, who is willing to farm for you? Everyone is not fools. Besides, it is said that the price of grain has plummeted so much now that the land of renters is often the only one who gives to the land owner. But the problem is that the grain is not valuable. No matter how much you grow, the grain is still the same as grain. What's the point?

If you get rid of it, you will not only be free from the tuition, but also provide tools to help you grow mulberry and cotton. You can exchange mulberry cotton for money in the coming year. It is no better than renting land for the master.

At the beginning, there were people asking for peace of mind, but more and more people were like this, and they were about to leave, but they couldn't stop them.

After all, the gentry is not ordinary people. If you want to leave, it is not easy. They have private soldiers. Of course, they are all obstructed by all kinds of people. They are gentle and gentle and incisive, or directly activating and strong. However, no matter how many tricks are there, people's hearts are not here, so how can they stop them? Some tenants' houses will respond well today, and there will be no trace tomorrow. The whole family will run away.

Some young and energetic children of the gentry took private soldiers everywhere to catch people. They beat them to serve as a warning. Although this had the effect of killing chickens and intimidating monkeys, they finally stabilized the hearts of the people, but the hearts of the people were lost. Later, not only the tenants ran away, but even the slaves ran away. At first, a few of them ran away and sued the county seat and asked the county seat to get people. Who knew that the county seat said they were powerless. Since the government was "powerless", they had to do it themselves. They began to gather private soldiers and planned to catch people, but found that even the private soldiers had fled many.

The situation of the Wu family is the most miserable. Their family can be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Of course, it is far inferior to the Yang family, but it is still quite reasonable. The most common ones in his family are not tenants, but slaves. Therefore, the slaves escape the most. The head of the family Wu Han was not old, so he was naturally more energetic and wanted to summon private soldiers. Who knew that these private soldiers, those who came from Mao, actually fled three times.

Wu Han was stunned. It was understandable that the tenants ran away, and the frequent problems of escaped slaves were arguably, but these soldiers were all raised by themselves and were treated well. Why do you run away?

After inquiring, I found out that his mother Shence Mansion was also recruiting new recruits, so the treatment was naturally not to mention, and "military people" were preferred. Not only that, but the counties were also recruiting some catchers and servants, and the treatment was also quite good.

Although they are all men with strong spirits, the Shence Mansion is rich and has good treatment. Following the head of the family, they have no status and can barely have a good meal. It is only more comfortable than the tenant. However, if the Shence Mansion likes it, it will be different.

In private, many people are saying that if the private soldiers of each family go, it is almost necessary. Older ones directly recruit them to be catchers, servants, and young ones directly join the Shence Army. They have a fixed monthly salary, wearing leather armor and Mingguang armor, and they are also majestic when going out. After all, the Shence Army is an imperial guard, which is equivalent to the flying cavalry, not to mention that the treatment there is also excellent, and there will be no worries for the rest of their lives.

Someone went first, and it was true. So countless people scattered and went to Mengjin, bustling, always for profit, and for profit. I am begging you. Now that I have a good way out, who can recognize you?
