Chapter 10: The love of a man and the love of a concubine, the spring night is short
Because, at least in my own generation, the fields I cultivate are my own.
In the same year, Zhang Erniu's family expanded the original two acres of thin farmland into five acres of thin farmland when they had only one cow. In addition, they also established one acres of vegetable gardens and one acres of orchards.
In autumn and winter, the freedom of fruits and vegetables is realized.
His friendship with Wang Xiulan became more and more profound, and with the help of her, he established a relationship with Mr. Wang.
At the age of fifteen, as the wave of land reclamation continued, large areas of unowned forest in Niutou Village were turned into dry fields, orchards and vegetable gardens.
It was also in this year that the expected wave of contract terminations came, and Zhang Shoutian's family faced a major crisis, and the long-simmering anger exploded.
"Damn it, it's all the fault of those idiots from the Li family. I must let them die without their bodies intact."
Zhang Shoutian's wife was shocked and quickly dissuaded her: "Sir, Sangou Nawa is the reincarnation of Xingjun. If you touch him, you will suffer disaster. We must not mess around."
Even his son Zhang Bucai was hesitant: "Dad, although that boy is hateful, his food is quite delicious. Why don't you kill him and recruit him as a cook?"
"Fart, what do you know? Short-sighted things, if that family doesn't die, we will die." Zhang Shoutian stared at his small eyes and spat angrily: "Bah, what kind of star king reincarnated and took my job, even if I am the king of heaven, I
We have to fight him tooth and nail."
"Zhang Fu, Li Yong, where are they? Come here..."
"Dad, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet."
"Go ahead. I'm either eating or having diarrhea every day. Why did I give birth to a useless son like you? He's not like me at all. He's talented, smart, and handsome."
At Li Erniu's house, when Zhang Bucai informed Li Feng of the news, Li Feng asked him to go find Wang Xiulan. He had made an appointment in advance with Wang Xiulan waiting by the river.
There was such a good thing, Zhang Bucai ran to the river happily.
After he left, Li Feng took out the prepared animal traps, toothpick crossbows, traction locks and other hidden weapons and quickly installed them. He also called Pheasant, Haonan and other big brothers who were friends with him to come over and ambush them together.
Including Da Gou, Er Gou and Li Erniu, there were already more than a dozen young and strong men on his side, all holding iron bars, more than twice as many as the men in black in his memory.
Da Gou, Er Gou and Haonan were ambushing in a hidden corner outside the house. Li Erniu and several elder brothers were ambushing on the left side. Zhang Sancai, a cousin, was ambushing on the right side with several young men. He and Pheasant were on the right side.
Three people lurked in the house.
As for the mother, Zhang Xiaohua and several children, Li Feng hid them in the back room.
"Sangou, do you think Zhang Shoutian's men will really come and kill your family tonight?"
"Brother Pheasant, he will definitely come. You are familiar with the leader. It is Zhang Fu."
"Okay, how dare you seek wealth and murder, I have to arrest them today and report them to the official."
If anyone in the village, except Mr. Wang, is the least afraid of Zhang Shoutian, it must be this guy. When he heard that there was such a good thing tonight, his eyes were extremely excited.
In the middle of the night, screams like a slaughtering pig rang out. The trap he set at home worked. People swarmed out and surrounded them on all sides, and easily caught these people.
They took out the confession that had been prepared and beat the pheasant a few times before Zhang Fu and Li Yong signed and pledged it.
"Brother Pheasant, you escort these people to find Mr. Wang, and find the county magistrate through his old man. This can be used to cancel the contract with the big guys, and maybe you can divide the land of Zhang Shoutian's family."
Pheasant was puzzled: "What about you?"
"Me? I still need to prepare something."
Pheasant is speechless, what time is it, why do you still want a gift?
However, this did not hinder his inexplicable trust in Li Feng, and he escorted Zhang Fu out.
Mr. Wang would not miss such a good opportunity and began to prepare actively.
……..
A few nights later, Mr. Chen, the county magistrate, counted the gifts on a red cloth list with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the small Niutou Village would have such a transparent child like Zhang Sangou. Yes, I appreciate it very much."
.”
The master nodded and bowed at the side: "What I'm saying is that this Sangouzi said that he will give you a gift every month, but there is a prerequisite."
Mr. Chen's face condensed: "What conditions."
"He and his fellow villagers are allowed to freely open up wasteland and produce freely in the village. The government cannot interfere too much. Of course, the taxes that should be paid to the court and the gifts given to us will only be more."
As he spoke, he took out something: "Look, sir, this is the letter that boy asked Mr. Wang to give you. He said that he guarantees that Niutou Village will bring you more and more income in the future, otherwise you can cure him."
crime."
After a long time, Master Chen read the letter, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Well, with Lao Wang as your guarantee, everything can be said easily."
Soon after, the county magistrate came to the conclusion that Zhang Shoutian was seeking money and killing people, killing people wantonly, and had a crossbow and armor hidden in his home, with evil intentions and a heinous crime.
However, thinking of his many years of service, he was demoted from the position of head of the village, leaving two acres of paddy fields. The other 40% of the land belonged to Mr. Wang, 20% was given to the people in the village, and the remaining 40% was turned over to the county government.
Moreover, the county magistrate also said that in accordance with the imperial court's instructions, all the acres acquired by oneself from reclaimed land can be privately owned in the future, but in the future, 20% of the output value of these newly reclaimed fields will have to be handed over to the county government.
The taxes that the imperial court had to pay every year were divided equally among the acres of land, and were collected uniformly by Mr. Wang on his behalf.
The so-called handing over to the county government actually means turning it over to the county magistrate.
This was the result of a compromise between many parties. The people who gained the most from this matter were Mr. Wang and the county magistrate. However, the villagers were already very happy. Not only did they terminate the contract, but they also gained more acres of land for nothing.
Tihuazhixiu, hello, hello, hello, hello to everyone.
The only bad thing was the Zhang Shoutian family who was almost tortured to death.
"We must kill them, we must."
Zhang Shoutian frantically threw things at home.
The tenants were gone, the family nurse was gone, damn Zhang Fu and Li Yong even took his two concubines and ran away overnight, taking away most of the family's belongings.
Only his old and beady wife and brother and sister Zhang Bucai were hiding in the corner and shivering.
Zhang Bucai's eyes were also full of hatred. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that it was Li Sangou who had caused his family to become like this.
"The situation is over and everyone has deserted me. What else do I have to lose?"
Zhang Shoutian's eyes flashed dangerously, and a crazy idea appeared in his mind.
……..
When he turned sixteen, his two brothers already had children and the family's income was stable. Li Feng had to consider his life-long affairs.
Judging from the previous rounds, life partners and children are very important bonus points.
