Chapter 377: Forced Buying and Forced Selling

In half an hour, Cheng Xiaolian and his team walked through several villages and asked a lot of people, and basically every village was restored to its vitality and vitality, which made Cheng Xiaolian feel very gratified.

Although these people have gone through hardships, but once there is hope in life, they will immediately go all out, this is the simplest idea in the hearts of the most ordinary people in this era, as long as there is a chance to live, most people still prefer farming.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, if we rush back, we can also rush back to Qutang Pass when we ride a fast horse now." ”

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "There is nothing important in the pass, let's not go back for the time being, just spend the night in the village." Let the brocade guards in the back find a place to rest by themselves. The two of them said that there were still people who were in a hurry, and if there were more people, I was afraid that they would scare people, and they didn't look like outsiders in a hurry, but like strongmen in the mountains.

Yang Youcai was a little worried: "Although this is under our rule, after all, I am not familiar with life。。。。。。 ”

"I believe in Lord Yang's ability."

Yang Youcai had a bitter face: "If His Highness is missing a single hair, they will have to cut me." ”

The two of them went to the house of a larger house, explained the reason, and the family was very hospitable, and immediately cleaned up a room for them.

Yang Youcai glanced at the house and said with a smile: "This house is not small. ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him: "What did you show up again?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think that such a big house doesn't have a family and few long-term workers, which is a bit wrong."

Cheng Xiaolian was also stunned: "It's really a bit strange for you to say this, but if it's a person from a village, it's no problem if you don't live here." ”

"In short, it's not a big mistake to be careful, if you come to eat for a while, don't worry, wait until I try it."

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "You see that before you become a king, you have already been guarded by layers, and we have not revealed our identity, besides, even if they know our identity, we will not be hated to this extent, if everyone wants to kill me, we will be too unpopular." ”

While speaking, the host's family had already walked in with a food plate: "There is nothing delicious at home, let's make do with a meal." ”

"The host's family is polite, this bit of silver is a little bit of our heart, disturb the night, trouble the master's family."

"No need to do this, you can also see that my family is still passable, when everyone has a night out of the house, I just make it convenient, don't be restrained, just eat and drink, and then look for me if it's not enough."

"Master, I have a question that I don't know if to ask or not."

"Just ask if you have anything to ask, where are there so many taboos in the Zhuang family."

"I see that your house is not small, why don't you even have a long-term job at home."

Hearing that the master's face here was ugly, he forced out a smile: "The village is not so expensive, and now is not the time to be busy with farming, and it is useless to hire long-term workers, so the family is not invited." He waved his hand: "Two slow use, I'll go see what else to eat at home." ”

Looking at his departing back, Yang Youcai laughed: "The owner of this house also has something unspeakable. ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, who doesn't have one or two things that can't be said to people, you still don't have to be too sensitive, let's eat."

Yang Youcai picked up the chopsticks and insisted on tasting every dish before letting Cheng Xiaolian put down the chopsticks, and Cheng Xiaolian had no choice but to go with him.

After eating, Yang Youcai waved his hand: "Your Highness, please." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Are you so useful, wouldn't it be too low-level if people poisoned you to taste it." ”

"Your Highness, most of the poisons in this world are fishy, and there are a lot of slightly bitter, colorless and tasteless poisons that I really haven't seen, these foods are what we usually eat, I don't know what they taste like, if there are other tastes, you can tell them, and if you are poisoned, you must take enough poison, these poisons are not enough to poison me."

Yang Youcai said this, Cheng Xiaolian understands, is there a chemistry course in this era, who will refine and extract poison, so the colorless and odorless liquids or powders in later film and television dramas are all fabricated, otherwise it is estimated that those folk sects would have come up with this thing a long time ago, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I am still afraid that I will not be invincible?

The two of them had eaten and were sitting in the middle of the room, when suddenly there was a quick knock on the door outside, and then they heard the master instructing outside the door: "Two of you, there are some private matters at home, no matter what sound you hear, don't go out." ”

Then a woman next to her said, "Boss, didn't you say that it took seven days to come, and it's only been five days." ”

"Hey, these people are vicious, don't talk too much for a while."

Saying that, he walked towards the door, and Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian resentfully: "Your Highness, follow the customs of the countryside, since people don't let us go over to see, let's not go over." Of course, he was worried that there was a group of strong people outside, and if there were many people on the other side, it would be difficult for him to protect Cheng Xiaolian's thoughtfulness.

Cheng Xiaolian laughed and pushed the door and walked out, Yang Youcai had no choice but to follow out, muttering in the back: "Nosy things cause trouble." ”

The two men crept close to the door against the wall, and heard a man's rough voice at the door asking, "Is the silver you have prepared ready?" ”

"A few masters, our family is a farmer's family, how can we get so much silver, even if we want to sell the land now, no one in the village can afford it."

"Nobody can afford it? Not necessarily, didn't Master Li in the east of the village buy your land with money? ”

"A few uncles, eighty acres of land in my house are all good land, and Master Li only gives one or two pieces of silver for one acre of land. It's not about buying land, it's about grabbing land. ”

"We don't care if you buy land or grab land, our lord said, if you don't have a hundred taels of silver today, we will demolish your house!"

"Guys, can you give a few days of grace, our Zhuang family, who can take out a hundred taels of silver in cash, and the silver has been used to buy land."

Yang Youcai was a little puzzled: "Listening to this tone, it seems that someone from the government is helping a landlord to buy and sell." ”

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Don't rush to conclusions, it's impossible to tear down the house casually by buying and selling, and it's not that there is no place to reason, I think it should be this master who let the family hold the handle." ”

"Even if people take the handle, they can't pay a tael of silver per acre, which is too deceitful."
