Chapter 331: It Could Be Like This
He Renlong was extremely happy to drink, that is, when he was promoted to this garrison, he was never so happy, without him, for the sake of face!
A martial artist can be treated like this by these literati squires, then he has a big face when he says it, and he has a long face for himself!
Everyone drank each other, and when the banquet finally ended, Ai Zhao asked the housekeeper to give He Renlong a small wooden box, and said: "It is not easy for the virtuous nephew to come and go, a little heart, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will accept it, and the virtuous nephew must not refuse."

"This, this, my uncle is too outside, how dare this little nephew!"
said this in his mouth, but the hand had already taken over the small wooden box, and he felt that the weight was not very much, He Renlong couldn't help but be a little surprised, this shouldn't be, these squires are all overlords of the earth, and they have always been generous, but this time everyone is together again, it doesn't make sense to be so little!
Lao Tzu came all the way with hundreds of soldiers, eating horses and chewing along the way, and he had to explain to Shangguan, how could these be enough! Fool and call Hanako!
The instinctive He Renlong just opened the wooden box and looked at it, and as soon as he opened it, a golden light suddenly came into view, which made people very excited.
It turned out to be gold, it's about the same, look at this amount, if it is converted into silver, it is a thousand or a hundred taels to say the least, but this time it is earned.
He Renlong smiled and said, "Uncle and the old men are too polite, how can this be done!" ”
Ai Zhao smiled and waved his hand, and said: "It's just a little yellow and white thing, it's okay, it's okay, the virtuous nephew is far away, I have ordered someone to find a few singers to wait for the virtuous nephew, it's getting late, the virtuous nephew should rest early." ”
What else does He Renlong have to say, this woman doesn't love her! He is also a soldier, and he deals with some big-headed soldiers every day, and he is an ordinary woman, and he is beautiful and tight in his eyes.
So He Renlong was not polite and said, "In this way, then thank my uncle." ”
Ai Zhao smiled slightly, although his face was enthusiastic, but his eyes still couldn't help showing a trace of disdain, Qiu Ba is Qiu Ba, I heard that there are women, and my soul is gone, no wonder I am looked down upon by literati and ink writers such as me, it is really a hungry ghost in my chest.
Ai Zhao then said to the housekeeper Ai Yang: "You take General He and a few guards to rest, and you must entertain you well, and you must not lose your courtesy." ”
"Yes, sir, the little one understands."
Ai Yang said, just led He Renlong and his group of five out of the restaurant and went to rest.
After they left, Zhao Xiangen said to Ai Zhao: "Uncle, it's not early, my uncle still rests at my house for one night, and tomorrow is good to meet the county honor, these days are a lot of things, it's better for my uncle to stay in my house for a few days, so as not to go back and forth." ”
Ai Zhao nodded and said, "It's okay, then I will live in your house for a while, and I can walk around the county office." ”
The other squires saw that it was not early at this time, so they all came over to say goodbye, and Ai Zhao said goodbye to them one by one.
When everyone left the restaurant, they each went home in their own carriages.
Unbeknownst to them, several pairs of eyes were staring at them in the dark, and as they left, these pairs of eyes also quietly followed and returned home with them.
After Ai Zhao and the others were all gone, one person also came out of the restaurant, and after a closer look, it was Li Jie,
It turned out that from the moment he He Renlong stepped into Mizhi, Li Jie came to watch him in person, and looking at Li Jie's face, he knew that Ai Zhao's words and deeds just now had not escaped Li Jie.
Soon, Li Jie returned to Huzhai and reported the situation to Wanhua, and Lao Tan and Tangshan were also present.
After listening to the report, Wanhua and the others were all relieved, it seems that the situation is not as bad as everyone thinks, at least the killing of officers and soldiers has not been revealed, otherwise, with his He Renlong's temperament, where can he still sit still, he would have called a long time ago!
But he came all the way here, he didn't come to string relatives, this must have a purpose, no matter why he came, Wanhua didn't dare to be careless, he congratulated Renlong for a day if he didn't leave, Wanhua had to be ready for a big fight at any time.
Wanhua looked at Li Jie, Lao Tan and Tang Shan, and said to them: "According to you, this He Renlong and Ai Zhao hooked up together, what are they trying to do?" ”
The three of them were pondering in their hearts, and after a while, Lao Tan said: "Big boss, could it be that these squires are dissatisfied with us, this is why He Renlong was invited to act as a thug, but there has been no entanglement between us and the squire!" ”
Wan Hua also couldn't understand, could it be that they were making such a big formation, wasn't it for themselves?
But it doesn't make sense, apart from himself, who is worthy of such an arrangement of these squires like Ai Zhao?
At this time, I saw Tang Shan say: "Maybe things may be like this." ”
When Wanhua and the others heard this, they all looked at Tangshan, and Wanhua asked, "Mr. must have expected their purpose, and asked Mr. to solve my doubts." ”
Tang Shan smiled slightly, didn't dare to say anything, and then said: "It may be that the leader has contracted these thousands of acres of land, which touches the interests of the squire, and the squires take into account the strength of the leader, which is why he Renlong was invited." ”
Tang Shan paused, and then continued: "The county government only has those people, the annual collection of imperial grain tax, lack of manpower, the county government will entrust the squires from all over the country to collect on their behalf, so that the squires can get up and down their hands, profit from it, now the leader has contracted more than 5,000 acres of land, does the leader still need to pay taxes through the hands of the squire?"
In the past, the leader contracted a thousand acres, now it is 5,000 acres, and what about next year? 10,000 mu or 20,000 mu, and how much is the year after? With so many fields, where can they sit still, and if this continues, won't Mizhi become the private domain of the chief, and then let their squire's family live! ”
When everyone heard it, it suddenly dawned on them, it turned out that the matter was here, so it seems that this conflict is inevitable, because Wanhua wants food!
This food is the root of troubled times, without food, you can't eat, who will give you your life! Shouting slogans, you also have to eat, after eating, then you shout slogans, everyone also has the spirit to shout a few words,
If you don't have anything to eat, what can you do with all the extravagance you say? Others will only treat you as a fart!
Wanhua couldn't help but smile, and then laughed at himself: "In this way, this is the trouble I found myself." ”
After speaking, Wan Hua sighed and said: "But what can we do if we don't do this, if we don't hold the field in our hands, we won't have a stable source of food, then, what do we use to feed the team members, what do we use to help those people, if I can watch them starve to death, why should I work so hard, wouldn't it be nice to be a rich man." ”
