"On this day, there is finally hope." It was already midnight, and Xu Xun and He Cang were walking home together. Chang'an is still under curfew, but the two of them are the chief and deputy catchers of Chang'an County, and they can walk freely.

Ordinary catchers have hundreds of dollars a year, which was unimaginable before. In the past, the miscellaneous land issued to them by the government added up, and there was a remarkable thirty or forty run. Of course, their income also depends on people, if you are a little darker and use the power in their hands, you will end up with far more than that.

Like the previous head catcher Chen Jiu, his family has a lot of money.

And Xu Hyun used to be the deputy catcher, his heart was not so dark, and he couldn't do it, so he didn't live so richly. After so many years, dozens of acres of land have been placed outside the city, and it is not a high-quality field for irrigation, but only some dry land, which is only three or four taels of silver per mu, and the income is limited.

And now, according to his level, the total number of items added up every year is about one hundred and fifty.

"One hundred and fifty times, it's a lot." He Cangdao, he was a lieutenant in the army, although he didn't need money for food and clothing, but his annual income was only about fifty yuan, and that's all, he had to take out a part of it to honor his superiors. At his level, the amount of soldier blood he can drink is really limited, and there are only dozens of brothers, all of whom are also from the township and neighbors, and they are also difficult to start. "But the rules are too strict."

Looking at the thick law book in his hand, he looked at Xu Xun with a wry smile and said: "As long as you pass the ordinary catcher exam, you and my brother must be above the top to pass the test, and this money is not easy to take!" ”

"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, Inspector Yang is also reasonable." Xu Hyun smiled: "Although I also have a headache when I read a book, no matter how painful it is, I have to go back and carry him down." This position, how can I keep it, you see, now so many people in Chang'an are crying out with hunger, we can still carry a bag of dried sweet potatoes back, this thing is the same as food! Top hunger. ”

On their backs, both of them carried a small bag of dried sweet potatoes, about four or five catties.

"But it's not easy to do the work in the future!" He Cang said: "I know that you used to have white servants and helpers, but now it is strictly forbidden to do such things, which means that we have to do big and small things ourselves, which is to use people as animals!" ”

"One hundred and fifty a year!" Xu Hyun smiled and said, "If you are bitter, you will be bitter." He Cang, I'm going to wait for a little leisure, and then buy some good water outside the city to water the ground. ”

"Where is the turn of us to buy the good watering ground outside the city?" He Cang shook his head and said: "That's all owned by the owner, and how high is the price, our salary, even if someone sells it, how much can we buy?" A big family doesn't eat or drink? ”

Xu Xun said in a low voice: "Now is the time when the land price in Chang'an is the lowest, and in the daytime today, the county lord said one thing, Shou Chunhou was arrested." ”

"Shou Chun Hou?"

Xu Xun nodded: "That's a big landlord." I heard that it was the nobles who returned to the north to send him to open the city gate to welcome Zhu Wen into the city when Zhu Wen invaded Chang'an, and then persecuted and resisted the righteous soldiers, and there was a lot of blood on his hands! At that time, the county lord sneered and said that all the property accumulated by the Shouchun Hou family over the centuries had been confiscated. ”

"Where is there any property, haven't they all been robbed by the puppet emperor?" Speaking of this, He Cang suddenly reacted: "Land." ”

"Yes, it's land, and the county said that these lands must be sold." Xu Xun said: "There are hundreds of hectares of land in Shouchun, and they are all watered with good water. ”

"The price? There are a lot of people coming from the north side, right? The people of Chang'an have no money, but they have money. ”

"There are only a limited number of people coming from the north right now. I can't say for sure. Xu Xun said with a smile: "And I guess, Shou Chunhou falls, and next, I'm afraid that more people will fall, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of these confiscated fields." There are many fields, but there are few people who buy them, so the price naturally cannot rise. And now Datang has a rule that no matter how big an official or how rich a family is, the land owned by a family is not allowed to exceed 1,000 mu. ”

"So, we have a chance." He Cangdao.

"Shouchun Hou's land, more than half of our Chang'an County, when the time comes, it will be sold, it must also be presided over by our county, when the time comes, we will be the first to register, as long as we don't buy much, it will not be eye-catching, you can also pick it in advance!" Xu Xun said: "But I only have fifty taels of silver, so I can't buy much." No matter how cheap these watered lands are, they will never be less than ten taels of silver. But it's not bad to be able to buy five acres, at least not less than my income from dozens of acres of dry land. ”

He Cang was silent for a while, and said: "Five acres of land is too little, Brother Xu, I still have some money at home, I will lend you another hundred taels, so that you can buy fifteen acres." ”

Xu Xun was taken aback: "You rely on you alone for a large family, where did you get so much money?" ”

"It's not much money, it's only three hundred taels in total, it's the last few months' salary, I've been dragging it out without paying, didn't everyone run away in the end? And no one wants it. He Cang said: "I will lend you one hundred taels, I will buy twenty acres myself, and you can also buy fifteen acres. ”

"You guy!" Xu Xun smiled and shook his head: "Then even if I take advantage of you, I will pay you back slowly in the future, and the interest will be calculated." ”

"You and my brother, what interest do you want!" He Cang said: "I don't dare to buy too much, otherwise it won't make people feel strange, I have more than a dozen people in Chang'an City." ”

"I see!" Xu Hyun nodded.

Entering Fang City, the two parted ways, Xu Xun quickened his pace, the room was still bright, he just knocked on the door, the door opened, and his wife Tian had been leaning on the door and looking.

"I'm back, look what I've brought back!" Xu Hyun was full of joy and handed a bag of dried potatoes to his wife.

The world is about to change.

Seo Hyun already felt this.

And he was lucky enough to catch the tail of this change.

This is the reward for the kind thoughts I had in the first half of my life! Every time he thought of this, he was full of emotion.

Although God is often blind, he occasionally opens his eyes and looks at the world.

Although well-meaning people may not all have good rewards, when good rewards come, only these people can be blessed with luck.

I'm a little person, and it's good to be able to do that.

When the little man Xu Hyun hugged his wife and slept beautifully, the prime minister's office in the imperial city was still brightly lit. Li Ze, who was struggling to write and review the chapters, saw Chen Wenliang walking in with a thick stack of papers, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why are there so many? Gongsun, Zhang Hui, Cao Xin, Xia He and the second uncle, don't you do anything? ”

Chen Wenliang leaned over and put these documents in front of Li Ze, and said with a smile: "Several Shangshu Fan Zhigongsun Mr. Sun are still in office, these are all approved by them, and after you read them, you can sign them." Some of them need to be retried by you, and the lower officials have clips in them. ”

Li Ze threw down the pen, stood up, rubbed his face vigorously, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and pushed open the window again, letting the cold wind outside blow in.

At this moment, Chen Wenliang had already changed a cup of strong tea for Li Ze, looking at the tea with at least half a cup of tea, Li Ze sighed: "Look like this, are you going to let me sleep tonight." ”

Chen Wenshi said with a smile: "Several Shangshu have said that we must wait for your approval today, and we will hand it over early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Ze sighed and nodded.

Ordinary people probably think that they must have a very comfortable and comfortable life, but do they know that they want to sleep beautifully?

Every piece of music here is related to hundreds of millions of people in the world, as long as they are not too stupid, they will understand that once there is a mistake in a decision, the impact will be incalculable.

"Tell me about something interesting that happened outside today that makes me happy?" Li Ze closed the window again.

"There are interesting facts, too." Chen Wenliang said: "Today, the Criminal Department raided Shou Chunhou's home, what do you guess makes Chun Yushangshu most excited?" ”

"What rare books have you found?"

"No, tens of thousands of loads of grain came out of the cellar of Beizhuang outside the city of Shouchunhou, although it was old grain, but it also made Chun Yushangshu very happy!" Chen Wenliang said: "Of course, there are a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings at home. ”

"Tens of thousands of loads of grain!" Li Ze gritted his teeth and said: "Don't say anything else, just say that at this time, he still has so much food hidden at home, and it is not unjust to cut off his skull." In this way, these bastards in Chang'an still have a lot of private treasures? Shou Chunhou is certainly not alone. ”

"Chun Yu Shangshu also thinks so, so tomorrow, there will be a second unlucky ghost who will appear." Chen Wenliang said with a smile: "These people really don't cry when they don't see the coffin, but if they are smarter, when they see the fate of Shou Chunhou, and then look at your praise for Yongjibo, they don't taste a little taste!" ”

"The ancestors of these people, everyone is a hero, but after generations, most of what is left is some wine bags and rice bags!" Li Ze sighed: "There are very few people who are really knowledgeable and disciplined. Everyone has a fluke heart, and the knife does not cut the head, where will there be real repentance? No, no, no, even if the knife does hit their heads, they must still be confused. ”

"That's true!" Chen Wendian nodded.

"You should now understand why I am holding a meeting of the Righteous Society, and I want to elect the governor who rules our country every five years? This is an example, think about the power of Datang in the past in the hands of such some people, how can Datang not collapse? Only by opening the upward channel and constantly introducing fresh blood into the ruling class can we keep our empire alive forever. ”

"But Zhang Shangshu also said that in this way, I am afraid that the internal political struggle in the future will also be very fierce!" Chen Wenliang said cautiously.

Li Ze laughed: "As long as you fight and don't break, it doesn't matter." It is a good thing to confine the struggle to ourselves, to resolve it in a conference room, to resolve it above the General Assembly. ”
