Protect Our Patriarch Chapter 65

　　 A few days later.

　　 Only talking about the Changningwei area, there has been a lot of chaos.

　　 Every one or two days, Wang Shouzhe will receive a letter from Wang Shouyi telling him what happened in Changningwei. The City Guard House has reached an agreement with the two celestial families, several top lingtai families including the Xu family in Changning, as well as Qian's commercial houses and other forces, and began to open warehouses in the city for disaster relief.

　　 However, there is a large population in the Acropolis. It is a big city with a population of more than 100,000. The amount of food consumed every day is astronomical.

　　 There are several groups of bold businessmen who have joined forces to stock up and secretly sell food to the people in the city at five or six times the price. As a result, he was caught upright by the city guard house. Not only was he beheaded to show the public, but the food he had hoarded was also confiscated by the city guard house.

　　 There are even rumours, because this time the disaster spread to the outside of Longzuo County. Therefore, in a short period of time, it is difficult for the grain from outside the county to be dispatched to suppress the grain shortage, so that there is also a grain shortage in the large county and city.

　　 Legend has it that the county town of Longzuo Prefecture is a big city with a population of over one million. The food shortage in this city must be a big deal. It can also be seen from this that the overall situation in Longzuo County has eroded to what extent.

　　 Now rumors and rumors are everywhere, it is said that Zifu Academy cannot raise food outside. It is also said that the county city ordered the collection of grain from the subordinate city guards to ensure the county's food supply.

　　 The biggest rumor even said that [Emperor Changlong]'s birthday is approaching and that the Dagan Empire is about to end. This insect plague is a sign. Let Wang Shouzhe sweat in a cold sweat, and it is true that the situation is in a mess, and all ghosts and monsters will run out.

　　 But I dared to say that Emperor Changlong was about to hang up. He was quickly picked up by the city guard, hung on the city gate and executed Ling Chi.

　　 In Wang Shouyi's letter, he only dared to express it implicitly. Wang Shouzhe still heard the messenger talk about it secretly.

　　 in a word.

　　 mess!

　　While the Ping An Wang clan is in this chaos, he can only be honest on the surface. Taxes and taxes should be collected, food should be paid, and there will be a lot of guarding the government. In fact, even if Wang wanted to pay less food, he couldn't do it.

　　 Even if the Sanbo Wangding clan served as the deputy guardian in the guard mansion, he would never dare to have any selfishness in this kind of knotty. Just because the city guard mansion had already sent people down to supervise the grain payment process, who would dare to favor favors at this moment?

　　 This summer tax, Wang paid a lot of food.

　　 One load of one load of grain hit the wagon and was transported to Dingpu Ferry. Under the supervision of the emissary of the city guard, the guards of the mansion weighed it one by one, and finally loaded it on the grain ship.

　　The three major farms add up to a total of 7,650 acres of fertile land on the register. Each acre of land is collected at a four-tax system. A total of 3060 dans of wheat in a single season is required. Fortunately, the total harvest was good this time. Apart from the problem of honey bugs, this year is actually a season with abundant rains in the early period and good sunshine in the middle and late periods, which is very conducive to the maturity of wheat.

　　 Therefore, the total output of the wheat harvest from the three major farms has actually reached more than 26,000 quintals. The average yield per mu is about three and a half quintals, which is barely a bumper harvest.

　　 The summer tax was introduced. The previously invested [Exterminator Tax], amortization of seed farming, and the share of tenant farmers, there is an additional net income of 145,000 quintals. Of course, food is actually much more than this number.

　　Because of the previous expenses such as dispersing insects, they were paid with dry gold before, and in the follow-ups, I will not go to buy the insecticides. This is just one quarter's income.

　　 By the way, the four old ladies were scattered by a batch of exterminators that had been stored up before. When the price was high before, I sold it at three times the price and made a fortune.

　　 This made the four grandfathers Wang Xiaozhi very proud, and boasted when he met everybody. With his outstanding vision, he made a lot of "big money" for the family and made great contributions.

　　 Except for the summer tax on the wheat fields of the farm, the taxes on the rest of the farm's properties are paid before the year. And because it is not a produced food crop, there is no need to use food to subscribe.

　　 In addition, the jurisdictions within the Wang's sphere of influence collect taxes on their behalf.

Because of the small area of ​​influence of the Wang clan, the civilians in the area under his jurisdiction only had 16,000 mu of fertile land. These are the implementation of the five-tax system. However, the Wang clan considered that the self-cultivators in the area under his jurisdiction had less losses than the outside world, but also suffered a lot. Big.

　　 Therefore, I decided to only charge four taxes on food, which belonged to the family's tax, and it was enough to use the big copper angle to deduct it. This time, the Wangs worked so hard to collect 6,400 pallets of grain, all of which were loaded and transported to Dingpu Ferry, and then transported by large ships one by one.

　　Wang Shouzhe stood at the busy and enthusiastic Dingpu Ferry under the guardianship of the general at home, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. These years, the Xuanwu family and the free people have worked so hard to farm, and the income from them is really far less than the tax collection.

　　 It is estimated that some of these grains will be transported to the Acropolis, and some will be used to "relief" the people of higher-level states and counties. You know, the living conditions of the people over there are far better than those in Ping'an Town.

　　 Speaking of it, it is also a kind of irony.

　　 What's more, such a shipment of grain by one ship will make the town of Ping An, which is already short of grain, even worse. In particular, many of their savings are invested in purchasing farmland, or spending huge sums of money to send their children to school, or having just experienced weddings and funerals and other expensive self-cultivating families, this time the crisis will be particularly sad.

　　 The conditions of the homeowners' families are not bad in theory, but their consumption level is much higher than that of the tenant farmers. The cost of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, food, clothing, housing, and weddings and funerals will also be higher.

　　 And most of the self-employed farmers, with a little savings, will find ways to expand their fields, build houses, train their children to read, and learn skills. It consumes money, and most don't have much savings.

　　 Normal conditions are okay. Unexpectedly, this insect plague came so fierce and sudden.

　　 But, even so.

　　 Except for a small number of homeowners, most homeowners find a way to boil for a while, until the next season of grain production, even if they are overwhelmed. But among them, someone can't stand a demon.

　　 Whenever natural and man-made disasters occur, there are always some powerful and inadequate greedy people. Take this opportunity to engage in large-scale mergers, devour the people and strengthen themselves.

　　 Wang Shouzhe glanced at it from a distance, and Liu and Zhao's convoy, which kept coming to pay taxes, narrowed their eyes slightly. Previously, they only used the style of the two jackal families of the Liu family and the Zhao family, as well as some wind noises, to estimate their actions.

　　 But with the development of intelligence work, some conclusive information gradually spread to Wang Shouzhe. He is almost certain that the opponent will indeed make big moves.

　　Ping An Liu's family.

　　 In the main hall of the main house of the Liu family, Liu Shengye, the head of the Liu family, is listening to several waves of people reporting the incident, including Liu Yongzhou, who is a relatively good younger generation.

His brows frowned: "What did the Sun Clan in Changning do? He clearly promised to lend us 15,000 pallets of wheat. After the autumn harvest, we will return 30,000 pallets of rice. Why don't you cash it out now? Isn't it satisfied?

　　 "The Changning Sun family said that they were all rushing to buy Dichongsan, and they barely managed to keep a little production." A 50-year-old tribe replied, "They said the Sun family's loss was too great."

　　 "How much does it take?" Liu Shengye's expression was a little gloomy. This time Liu's loss was too great, and if he couldn't find it, it would be too damaging to his vitality.

　　The face of the tribe is also ugly: "Sun said that we don't want us to double the return of the grain, and that it is illegal to speculate on the price of the grain. It is better to barter and exchange 1,500 mu of fertile land with us.

　　 1,500 acres of fertile land?

Liu Shengye's face turned green and white, and he was so fainted that he fainted: "They are mad, and 15,000 tons of grain will be exchanged for 1,500 acres of land?" Their Liu family has accumulated from the ancestors to today, how many years It's just over 10,000 acres of fertile land.

　　 This opening is one-seventh of the land, how cruel, this is a huge profit of several times.

"Patriarch, or else, forget it?" The tribe said helplessly, "According to our original plan, we can also acquire a 2,000 acres of fertile land. We are so swayed by the Sun family, so why don't we bear the infamy and marry someone? clothes?"

"I can't forget it. My Liu family has lost too much this time." Liu Shengye said with a fierce look, "Then this time I simply don't do two things, then merge with the figure of 3,000 mu. Even if it comes to mortgage loans, or We are also making a lot of money by replacing people with others."

　　 His elder brother Liu Shenghao is at the critical moment when he is attacking Lingtai, and there are still some resource gaps. Once rushed to the Lingtai Realm, it was a double Lingtai, and it was able to break the wrist with that Sun Clan. UU Reading www.uukananshu.com

　　 Liu Shengye, this person, has always been good at drilling the economy, and he must compare the baht and baht, never willing to lose money. Moreover, the family has worked hard to accumulate wealth over the past 50 years. While making the family strong, doesn't it just want to cultivate a second spiritual ancestor?

"Patriarch, such a big move, I'm afraid it will cause people's grievances?" The tribe said with some worry, "What's more, because the Wang family had a psychic master this time, they did not suffer a disaster. There must be a lot of surplus food left in their hands. .Will you take the opportunity..."

"They dare not!" Liu Shengye believed, "We Liu and Zhao work together. How can the weak Wang family dare to move half a claw? Besides, I have heard that Wang has shipped excess grain to Donggang in exchange for high returns. A sum of training resources is a wise move. When the surplus food is left in the hands of the next season, it will certainly not be so popular."

　　 "How can the head of the family determine this?" the tribe said strangely, "According to this trend, not every family needs a doubled dose of Michongsan."

　　 "The owner of the family has received news that Zifu Academy has begun to improve the next generation of Michongsan. And to apologize, the next season's Michongsan will only be allocated to the families who have lost 10% of the price at a loss."

　　 This news is considered relatively secret, but this chamber is the core of the Liu family, so naturally I am not afraid of leaking it.

　　 "Since this is the case, then this opportunity should not be missed." The tribesmen said one after another, "The Sun family is too dark."

Liu Yongzhou, who had not spoken all the time and held his hands, suddenly said: "Patriarch, uncles, Yongzhou has a way, you don't need to cooperate with the Sun family. Some time ago, my fishing boat was on the riverside and saved one. The troubled daughter..."

　　 When I mentioned this eldest daughter, Liu Yongzhou's eyes flashed through the scorching, obsession, and even fanaticism...
