In the golden autumn of October, the cicadas have gradually stopped chirping, the leaves have turned yellow, and the fruits are abundant. It is also time to harvest the large areas of crops outside Xuchang City. Farmers harvest, thresh, and dry They are diligent and busy day and night. They must do it before the rainy season. , causing the particles to return to the warehouse!
Most of the fertile fields around Xuchang City are privately owned by the powerful. After harvesting, farmers not only select the best corn and wheat to pay the land rent, but also prepare fat sheep, pigs, fresh fish, fruits and send them to the city. The master calls it: filial piety!
Therefore, farmers from all over the country come to the city every day, driving their carriages, horses, and things, in an endless stream. In addition to paying the tax for entering the city, they also have to be interrogated by the soldiers who defend the city. Because of their number, There are too many vehicles, and they are often crowded and there is a long queue at the city gate!
"Drive! Drive! - Go into the city to deliver food, and keep out of the way!"
"They are the convoy of Shuangshui Village, get out of the way quickly and let the city gate pass!"
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
At noon, another convoy appeared, with about thirty large carts, all driven by strong young mules. The carts were filled with various agricultural products, and there were more than a hundred strong young men wearing shabby cloth clothes. , specially responsible for escorting goods!
The motorcade crossed the moat and did not wait at the end of the team. Instead, it went straight to the city gate. The white-haired man in the first car took out a bronze identity medal from his arms and handed it to the city defenders for inspection. Travel without any hindrance, even without inspection!
Seeing this scene, the surrounding convoys were full of envy, but they did not dare to step forward to ask anything, because they all knew that Shuangshui Village served the Wuchou Hou Mansion, and with the face of Da Sima, they could pass without hindrance!
"We have already arrived in Xuchang City, and I have to go to send my filial piety. Sir, please help yourself!"
"Thank you very much for sending me this gift. I am very grateful. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely thank you very much!"
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
After the convoy entered the city, the last young man driving the car suddenly tightened the reins. At the same time, an old man jumped out of the car. The two saluted and waved goodbye to each other, but they did not address each other by their first and last names. It was obvious that they had met by strangers. man of!
The old man wears a bamboo hat, coarse cloth, and straw sandals. His face is full of weathered colors, and his hair is mostly gray. Regardless of his clothing, appearance, and temperament he is no different from an ordinary rural farmer!
But if you look closely, you will find that the old man has broad shoulders and a thick back, and a straight waist. The veins on his arms are like bulges, and there are thick calluses at the tiger's mouth. There is also a simple sword hanging on his waist. It is silent and has a sharp edge!
The book secretly explains that the old man is none other than Wang Yue, a man with an invincible sword, a peerless reputation throughout the world, and known as the Imperial Master!
Wang Yue was superb in swordsmanship and once taught two emperors, Huan and Ling. Unfortunately, although he had famous teachers, he had no great disciples. One emperor regarded wealth as his life, while the other emperor was dissolute. Wang Yue had worked hard for decades in vain, but his teachings had not yielded any results. Come, I have no choice but to resign and go into seclusion!
Over the years, Wang Yue has traveled far and wide. In addition to further honing his sword skills, he has also done a lot of things to eliminate violence and bring peace. This time he came to Xuchang City because he was invited by his friend Yang Biao to kill a big shot - Xiao Yi!
However, Wang Yue's sword skills are superb, but he never kills innocent people indiscriminately. Every time he uses his sword to kill someone, he will conduct a detailed investigation. Those who commit the most heinous crimes will be killed without mercy. Those who make occasional mistakes will be punished with small punishments and large warnings, which can lead to serious consequences. Convincing yourself will never lead to death. This is also the way of swordsmanship he has learned - the benevolent are invincible!
The deeds of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang have long been widely circulated. Wang Yue also inquired about it in many ways, but the answers were different:
Some people say that Xiao Yi is murderous, has bloody hands, and likes to collect ¡®skeleton lamps¡¯. He is a demon that escaped from hell. If he is not killed, the people will not be angry!
Some people say that Xiao Yi is a god-given general of the Han family who is both civil and military. He performs benevolent government at home, loves the people like a son, and conquers princes and expands territory externally. I pray that he will live a long life!
Some people say that Xiao Yi is kind on the outside but treacherous on the inside. Although he has made great contributions to the country, he also has a disobedient heart. Sooner or later, he will replace Cao Cao and become the next traitor to steal the country!
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Right and wrong, good and evil all kinds of news, like landslides and tsunamis, filled Wang Yue's ears, making it impossible for him to distinguish between true and false. In desperation, he had no choice but to check it out in person, to see that seeing is believing!
If Xiao Yi harms the country and the people and commits many crimes, he will risk his own life and behead his head to eliminate harm for the country!
On the contrary, if Xiao Yi benefits the country and the people and has a noble character, he will live up to the invitation of his old friend. Although the sword in his hand is sharp, he will not kill the innocent person!
Wang Yue came all the way to Xuchang City and happened to meet the Shuangshui Village convoy, and the driver wasThe lady was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see an old man walking on foot, so he invited him to sit in the carriage. Unexpectedly, while talking and laughing along the way, he drew a black circle for Xiao Yi!
In Wang Yue¡¯s view, life in a small mountain village must be very miserable if it pays so much ¡®filial piety¡¯, and if the Wuchou Mansion extorts excessive amounts of money, they are cruel and cruel powerful men!
According to normal thinking, Wang Yue's guess was correct, but what he didn't know was that although Shuangshui Village gave a lot of 'filial piety', their life was not miserable at all. On the contrary, they were very wealthy, because their rent was very Low!
In the early Han Dynasty, people's livelihood was poor, so taxes were light and low. Under Emperor Wen, it was 15 taxes per yen. Under Emperor Jing, land rent was halved and changed to 30 tax per yen. The burden on farmers was very light and they had enough food to raise their children, so the population increased significantly. , the society was extremely prosperous, and this created the "Government of Wenjing"! ¡¯
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there have been years of wars, a sharp decline in population, desolate land, food shortages, and the original land tax system has disappeared. Since Cao Cao came to power, he has implemented the farming system, recruited refugees, reclaimed wasteland, accumulated grass and stored grain, and conquered all directions. !
The farming system stipulated that after farmers harvested grain, if they used public cattle - six for the officials and four for the people; if they used private cattle - half for the officials and the people. Compared with the taxes in the early Han Dynasty, the farming system was more exploitative. However, in troubled times, the land was starved to death, and the people I will be happy if I have food to eat, and I can tolerate the heavier taxes!
Shuangshui Village is Xiao Yi's private estate. You don't have to pay taxes to the state. You only need to give the owner a little 'filial piety'. Xiao Yi's ratio is: two points, which is one-fiftieth, which is better than the land tax in the early Han Dynasty. It¡¯s still low. If there is a drought or flood, the land rent will be completely exempted!
As for the melons and fruits, cattle, sheep, fat pigs, and fresh fish offered by the manor after the Wuchou Mansion accepts them, they will also double the rewards. Therefore, for the farmers, going to the city to send a tribute is not only not exploitation, but also It¡¯s a beautiful job!
The tenants' clothes are shabby, which is actually understandable. First, when carrying agricultural products, they are reluctant to wear new clothes to avoid getting dirty and torn; second, the wives and ladies of the Marquis are kind-hearted. Seeing the shabby clothes of the tenants, they The rewards are often more generous!
"Some people can't help but ask, the Wuchou Mansion has a large population and its life is considered luxurious. Xiao Yi's salary is limited and he does not exploit the lower-class tenants. Where does the money come from? The answer is twofold: one is to make money, the other is to rob!
As early as in Crouching Tiger Mountain, Xiao Yi and Liang Xiaoyu formed a partnership and started the business of "Wuchou Liquor". Over the years, it has been sold all over the world and is said to be making a fortune every day. Wuchou Hou Mansion has a business in Xiliang. Gold mines, pastures, and salt drying fields in Xuzhou also bring in huge amounts of income!
Zhen Mi is in charge of the real power of the family. She uses the Zhen family's caravan to earn countless money every year, and most of them enter the Wuchou Hou Mansion. Regarding this matter, no one in the Zhen family objects, because there are people with different opinions. The world has evaporated!
In addition, Xiao Yi fought in the south and north, and every time he conquered a city, he would get a lot of loot. From the commander-in-chief and generals to the soldiers and grooms, everyone was full of food. Especially when he pacified Hebei, he also got the treasure of the Yuan family. , it is the existence of gold and silver!
To put it bluntly, with the family fortune of Wuchou Hou Mansion, Xiao Yi would not be able to spend enough to give birth to ten prodigal sons for ten consecutive lifetimes. Naturally, he would not exploit the tenants. Instead, he would treat the common people well and change him. Good reputation!
Without further ado, Wang Yue inquired along the way and soon came to Baihu Street. He saw a magnificent mansion with carved beams and painted beams. There were six pairs of large iron halberds in front of the door, symbolizing great military achievements. On the door was a The gold plaque with four big characters on it - Wuchou Houfu was written by the traitor himself!
"Cao Mengde's calligraphy - the pen moves like a dragon and a snake, vigorous and powerful, as if there are millions of heroes hidden in it. No wonder it can defeat the heroes and unify the Central Plains!"
"It's a pity that the Han Dynasty declined and the emperor was weak and incompetent, unable to control this person. A good minister who was good at governing the world turned into a traitor in troubled times. Shi Ye?" Fate? Good luck! "
As the emperor¡¯s master, Wang Yue was not only an exquisite swordsman, but also excelled in tactics, yin and yang, calligraphy, and music but it was a pity that he could not display them all his life, leaving him full of regrets!
After sighing, Wang Yue walked around the Hou Mansion, using his extraordinary hearing to investigate the situation inside. The result surprised him. In addition to the sound of bells and cauldrons eating, there were also the neighing of horses and the sound of gold. Eagles crow, wild wolves howl the chaos reaches the extreme!
For a high-ranking official, it was not a big deal to loot heavily or lead a corrupt life. If he was sentenced to death on this basis, I am afraid that no one in the court would have passed the test. But what happened next made Wang Yue extremely dissatisfied. Then he developed murderous intention!
"Da da da!"
Amidst the rapid sound of horse hooves, a team came onto Baihu Street. They had bright armor and magnificent weapons. The queue was also very neat. However, the rider on the horse was not a tomboy, but a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old¡ª¡ª Detachment of Women!
Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors till now, we have never heard of a woman becoming an army. However, the House of Marquis Wuchou has raised hundreds of beautiful girls. They often gallop around and show off their power, which makes people think of four words - excessive debauchery!
There are two groups of people behind, both of them are foreigners wearing furs, carrying bows and arrows on their backs, and holding large wolf-skin banners. One is carrying the banner of the Xiongnu Royal Court, and the other is carrying the banner of the Xiqiang tribe. They are all running toward Wuchou. The Hou Mansion is coming!
¡°Those who are intoxicated with money, lose their ambition in playthings, lust after women, and collude with foreign racessuch people who bring disaster to the country and the people, it is really not a pity to die!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?She is a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old - the Detachment of Women!
