Chapter 14： Picture poor see

the next day.

The wind in Ishikawa Prefecture was rumbling, and there was no one on the street.

The arrests in Yali County are all waiting.

The Zhao family and the Zhang family have been grudges for a long time. A few days ago, the Zhang family master encountered a killer, which completely detonated the grievance between the two families.

The two families fought on the street several times last night, and the street was full of blood.

In this case, who dares to go out?

……

But Shitou Village is not peaceful at the moment.

There are dozens of tall horses at the entrance of the village, and each of them is a sturdy king.

These family members are equipped with war swords around their waists, and they exude a fierce aura. They are completely different from those doglegs brought by the Prince.

"The village chief, the second lady of my family has come, and she won't come out to meet her."

Accompanied by a loud roar, the village head cowered and walked out.

Seeing this battle, even if he lived for so many years, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

In the past years, when the land rent was collected, the steward Wang brought a few ordinary householders over.

What are you doing this year? Tucun?

"Old man...respectfully welcome the second lady!" The village head bent down and made a gesture of arching his hands, with a very humble attitude.

The villagers in the village also all walked out of their homes at this time. Seeing so many people, they were all scared to speak out.

The head of the village bent over for more than a minute, and when he was so tired that he was shaking, a white horse slowly came out from the herd.

White horse, Wang Suqin is wearing red soft armor, his expression is cold and his eyes are indifferent.

" Steward Wang had an accident. This year, this lady came to collect the rent in person. I hope you will not embarrass me.

In the past, butler Wang treated you generously, it was because of the peace in Ishikawa Prefecture.

Nowadays, there is turmoil in Ishikawa Prefecture, and our king’s life is not easy, so this year’s land rent will be increased by 50%. "

As soon as Wang Suqin's words fell, there was an uproar among the villagers.

The butler Wang is not generous, so put it aside first.

The key is that there was a flood this year, and there was no harvest. In order to collect enough land rent, they went bankrupt and owed a debt.

Now they have to add another 50%. Isn't this driving them to the absolute path?

The village chief was also angry when he heard this, and tremblingly took out a contract from his arms: "Second Miss, we are planting land for the Wang family. The amount of land rent paid is agreed in advance. How can you add it at will? What?"

Before the village chief had finished speaking, there was a bang of swords, and the contract became two halves.

Wang Suqin took the sword and returned it, and said coldly: "I said, now Ishikawa County is in chaos and the rules have changed. I don't want to go through similar things a second time."

A group of villagers looked at each other, their faces pale.

Let them pay 50% more, and they have to hand it in. They can’t change it out of thin air.

It seemed that this situation had been anticipated a long time ago, and a housekeeper next to Wang Suqin spoke at this time.

"Our Wang family is not trying to drive you to a dead end. It is okay if you don't want to pay the land rent. After signing this lease, you will become slaves of our Wang family.

The village chief coughed violently when he heard this.

The people in Shitou Village are tenants, but tenants are also free citizens, not slaves.

But if they sign the contract of selling, they will become slaves of the royal family. In the future, whether they live or die depends entirely on the king's decision. How can they be willing?

"Let's go to plant the Zhao family, the Zhang family farm!"

"Our Stone Village has always been free people, why should we be slaves?"

"Yes! I don't want my child to be a slave before he is born!"

A young and energetic villager shouted.

The Ding sneered when he heard the words, his eyes flickering.

"Zhang family, Zhao family is now at war, do they have time to take care of your mud legs?

I tell you, this Ishikawa Prefecture is in chaos right now, and if something happens to you on the way to other families, no one will care! "

The warning sign of what he said was very obvious. The few villagers who had just spoken all turned off, their eyes desperate.

The village chief was already in tears at this time, he knelt down with a puff, and begged Wang Suqin: "Second Miss, please be kind, there are some children in the village who haven't grown up yet, so they can't become slaves to others since they were young. !"

Wang Suqin's eyes were full of disgust.

A group of untouchables are always picking and choosing here. Does it mean that being slaves to the royal family will humiliate them? It is outrageous!

The family on the side was good at observing words and colors. Seeing that the second lady was upset, he quickly roared: "It would be good to give you a bite of food. Don't want to be slaves? Look at these crooked melons and cracked dates in your village. When you are a slave, the second lady is to make the best use of what they have. If you are not grateful to Dade, let’s forget, what are you doing?"

Jia Ding patted the village chief's cheek with the scabbard, his face was provocative.

At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly stopped in front of the village chief, pulled the scabbard away, and looked up at the house.

"Is it necessary to pay 50% more rent, so I don't have to sign the contract of sale?"

"Of course, pay the land rent, sign the deed of sale, you must choose one today."

That Jiading carried the knife on his shoulder, his tone contemptuous.

In his opinion, this group of untouchables have difficulty paying the amount they had in previous years, let alone paying 50% more.

Today they are trying to force these mud legs into slavery.

You must know that the Zhang family and the Zhao family are fighting each other. By then, the strength of the two families will be damaged, and their Wang family can take the opportunity to rise.

Maybe you can get a lot of new farms.

How to grow the new farm is the most cost-effective? Of course, let these untouchables contribute more.

As long as these untouchables become slaves, then their royal family can exploit them to death, as long as they are not exhausted.

As for some old, weak and sick, they should also go to the ground.

Instead of dying at home, it is better to die in the ground. That is the best value.

After hearing this, Chen Chen took a deep look at the family, then suddenly laughed and said loudly, "I have a total of 50 families in Shitou Village, and each family should pay 1,200 liters, which is 60,000 liters in total. .

Now you have increased by 50%, that is 90,000 texts. UU reading www.uukanshu. cm

The extra 30,000 wen, which is thirty taels of silver, I will give it for everyone. "

After saying this, Chen Chen took out thirty taels of broken silver from his arms and placed it on the stone monument at the entrance of the village.

As the saying goes, the money picked up is not money, so Chen Chen doesn't feel sorry for it.

In addition, he has been in Stone Village for so many years and has received a lot of care, so he should pay such a small amount for the villagers.

The most important thing is that he knows that even if he pays out the money, he cannot avoid a battle today. In this situation of the Wang family, it is impossible for him to slap his **** and leave at thirty-two.

He wants to take this opportunity to establish absolute prestige in Stone Village. In the future, when he goes to cultivate immortals, his parents will be taken care of by a group of loyal people.

……

Looking at the white silver, whether it is the crowds or the villagers present, they are all stunned.

Thirty taels of silver does not sound like a lot, but it is a huge sum of money to the villagers in Shitou Village, and it may not be possible to collect a few households after selling it.

But Chen Chen took out his eyelids without blinking, which made them suspect that they were dreaming!

"Little Shen! You will be the village chief from tomorrow!"

The village chief trembled with excitement and directly gave the position of the village chief to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen is a bit speechless, is he like the kind of person who is rare to be a village chief?

Jia Ding headed by 　　 saw this scene, his face was hard to see the extreme.

Does their Wang family care about these thirty taels? What they really want is to make all the villagers in Stone Village become slaves, who can be exploited for generations to come.

The value is not comparable to thirty-two.

Thinking of this, Jia Ding glanced at Wang Suqin.

Wang Suqin did not speak, but looked at Chen Chen who was standing in front of the stele coldly, the long sword in his hand slowly unsheathed.
