In fact, as Yang Junshan expected, when Shi Nansheng chose to lead the Shi family to move, those who were finally willing to follow him to Huangqiu Town only accounted for two-thirds of the Shi family's households, about two hundred and a thousand households.
People with the surname Yu Shi chose to leave.
According to the news from the clan members, after the Shi family began to move, the monks from the Shantian Villa appeared openly among the Shi family members, assisting and escorting the Shi family members along the way to Huangqiu Town.
After Yang Junshan got the news, he just sneered. With the Shi family's beginning, I'm afraid there are other people in the village who won't be able to sit still. Even those who don't want to leave may wonder if there is any intention of expelling the Yang family behind the Shi family's move.
Inside.
Although he had expected it, Yang Junshan still did not expect that on the night when the Shi family began to move out one after another, someone would come to the door, and there were two of them!
"Uncle Li, Brother Xu, do you two also plan to move your clan and leave Xishan Village?"
Xu Lei and Li Shaoqun looked at each other with a smile, and Xu Lei said: "It is true that they plan to move away, but the Xu and Li families do not plan to go to Huangqiu Town, but want to rebuild the village in Huangtu Town."
This idea was a bit beyond his expectation. Yang Junshan asked curiously: "This makes me a little confused. The county government is in Huangtu Town to attract more spiritual farmers to cultivate spiritual fields, but
They offered extremely kind conditions, but since the Xu and Li families don't plan to go to Huangtu Town, why bother to relocate and rebuild a new village?"
Xu Lei smiled and seemed to be thinking about what to say, but Yang Junshan was not in a hurry and waited patiently. After a while, Xu Lei said: "I don't know if the young patriarch has noticed that the county government uses bears.
The conditions for recruiting spiritual farmers to work on the spiritual fields of the family are extremely favorable, but in fact the ownership of the spiritual fields is still in the hands of the county government. In other words, no matter how long the spiritual farmers cultivate a spiritual field, as long as the Shantian Sect wants
, this spiritual land will be taken back from the spiritual farmers at any time!"
Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment, but he had not expected this.
Li Shaoqun laughed at the side and said: "Most of our rural monks' ancestors were spiritual farmers. As long as the ownership of a spiritual field is in their own hands, even if the grain tax is heavier and the output is lower, these are acceptable. It's nothing more than
It's just that you have to work harder; and those spiritual fields in Huangtu Town, even if they are handed over to you for a hundred years, but when you think about the county government having to hand over the spiritual fields in your hands with just a word, how can such spiritual fields be able to let people
Feeling at ease?"
Yang Junshan nodded with understanding, and then said: "But the Shi family also moved the spiritual fields that originally belonged to them to the north of Huangtu Town near Huangqiu Town. These spiritual fields are still theirs, even if they are
In the future, when the county government takes back these spiritual fields, they can continue to live off their own spiritual fields!"
"But will they still have a village to stay in? Will the Yang family allow them to rebuild their village in Huangtu Town, or will they be generous and allow them to return to Xishan Village?"
Xu Lei had a sarcastic smile on his face. The young patriarch of the Xu family had become increasingly gloomy in recent years, and the city was getting deeper and deeper. He didn't know whether it was because of the death of his mother or because of Xu Jing.
It was because of the humiliation and blow brought to him by breaking off the engagement, but Yang Junshan secretly and maliciously believed that it was more likely to be the latter.
"One day, once the Shaking Sky Sect takes back the spiritual fields they farmed, without the support of the spiritual fields, the village they built in Huangqiu Town will definitely not be able to exist, and the entire Shi family will probably be reduced to a tenant without property!
"
"So what do you two mean?"
Xu Lei's expression perked up, he took out a map of Huangtu Town from his pocket, pointed to a place in the southwest on the map, and said: "Here, there was originally a spiritual field of the Yu family, and in this spiritual field
There are two outdoor spiritual fields nearby, and these three spiritual fields should be under the control of the Yang family. The Xu and Li families are willing to free up all the spiritual fields in Xishan Village in exchange for the three spiritual fields here, and hope that
We got two promises from the Yang family to help us build a village!"
Yang Junshan knew all the spiritual fields under the control of the Yang family in Huangtu Town. He only looked at the map and knew the quality and area of these three spiritual fields. He couldn't help but said with some surprise: "The area of these three spiritual fields
Although it’s not small, as far as I know, it’s still a bit smaller than the area of the spiritual fields the two families have in Xishan Village now, right?”
Xu Lei said with a smile: "Although it is a little worse, the establishment of our village still cannot be separated from the help of the Yang family. What's more, the young patriarch can give a stone spirit valley to every household of the relocated Shi family. It makes no sense for us.
Isn’t it true that I favor one person over another?”
"What's more," Xu Lei suppressed the smile on his face, and his expression became more solemn: "We are still within the Yang family's sphere of influence in Wasteland Town, and our two families can still be regarded as vassal families of the Yang family!"
Yang Junshan took a deep look at Xu Lei, suddenly laughed, and said, "It seems I have no reason to refuse!"
He sent Xu Lei and Li Shaoqun away, and when he came back, he saw Yang Tianlei and Han Xiusheng waiting for him.
"Why, another two families are leaving?" Yang Tianlei had obviously heard the previous conversation between Yang Junshan and the two of them.
Yang Junshan nodded and said: "Sooner or later they have to leave. Instead of using means to squeeze them out of Xishan Village, it is better for everyone to get together and be separated now, and there will still be a favor in the future!"
Han Xiusheng spoke at the side to change the topic and said: "Let's talk about the situation of the caravan first. I always feel that the situation in Yu County is not good now!"
Yang Junshan looked solemn and said, "Why, did the second uncle and uncle find out some bad news this time?"
Yang Tianlei said angrily: "I didn't listen to your boy's instructions and went to Jiayu County to set up a line with the powerful Ou Feng. I found Ou Feng and the deal was completed, but when I turned around, Ou Feng was found."
The family rebelled, and our caravan was almost detained by the Jiayu County government on charges of collaborating with the enemy. We lost all the jade coins we earned from the district family, and then we were lucky enough to escape."
"The Ou family also rebelled?"
Yang Junshan was stunned at first, and then his expression became serious.
Han Xiusheng said quickly at the side: "We can't even talk about rebellion. In short, the real monks of the Ou family had a falling out with the magistrate of Jiayu County, which made the relationship between the county government and the Ou family tense. But I heard that Jiayu County
The local forces have already stepped up their mediation, but our caravan just happened to catch up, and the people from the county government took the opportunity to make things difficult for us!"
Yang Junshan's expression softened slightly, and he glanced at his second uncle Yang Tianlei with some dissatisfaction.
Yang Tianlei was obviously unaware and said loudly: "Now this business can't be done. How come it has only been a year? It seems that everything has become unstable, whether it is internal strife or external border conflicts. This Tianshao Sect cannot be destroyed one day."
Stable? How can this No. 1 sect in Yuzhou hide its face?"
Ever since Chen Jizhenren took the lead in wiping out the powerful Yu family in Mengyu County last year with strong methods, expelling the powerful Xiong family, and single-handedly facilitated the merger of the powerful Ning family into the Shaking Heaven Sect, it seemed that the three or four years of Yu County's rule had been broken all at once.
Peaceful time.
First, the Tianlang Sect provoked people at the border, and then the Xiong family members who fled into the Kailing Sect in Yao County began to frequently harass the border in the name of revenge.
Immediately following the influence of Mengyu County's linkage, the other four counties in Yu County, except Jinyu County, which did not have powerful families, including Wang Qianzhen of Chenyu County, had to take tough measures to curb the powerful families in the county.
.
However, this time it was obviously not a unified action coordinated by the Shaking Sky Sect. Each county magistrate had different priorities in suppressing local powerful people. This also gave local powerful people a chance to breathe. Some of them fled into neighboring counties in advance.
Some defected to other sect forces, some mobilized the network of relationships that had been operating in the county for hundreds of years to mediate, some simply openly rebelled and stood on their own feet, and some chose to swallow their anger for the time being...
But no matter what countermeasures these powerful forces take, they are secretly preparing troops and accumulating supplies. Perhaps it is not necessarily out of rebellion, but in their view, this is more like a last ditch effort after they have cornered themselves.
prepare for.
But this situation has also made the situation within the entire Yu County suddenly become tense. According to Yang Junshan, Chen Jizhen, who was the first to initiate the suppression of powerful forces in the territory, is now almost the target of public criticism and is under tremendous pressure.
Not only were there accusations from powerful powers from all over the country, but there were also accusations from within the Shaking Sky Sect, which shows the chaos within the Shaking Sky Sect at this time.
However, things often go hand in hand with blessings and misfortunes. Just when the Shaking Sky Sect was still debating whether to suppress the powerful powers in each county in a short period of time, almost every border of the six counties in Yu County was attacked by neighboring sects.
Small-scale tentative harassment.
This time, the Shaking Sky Sect once again failed to take unified measures to deal with small-scale border conflicts in each county. Each county went its own way. In Mengyu County, Chen Jizhen, with the cooperation of Qingyi Zhenren, still fought back resolutely. Jinyu County was in Cangwu
Under the auspices of the two real people, Zhenren and Zhu Balong, they also gave a powerful counterattack to the invading enemies.
Wang Qianzhen of Chenyu County was busy with his family's affairs and had no time to take care of him. The Tanxi Sect even sent people directly across the border of Yuancheng Mountain and seized several good-quality mines. However, it is said that there was once a group of Tanxi Sect.
The monk tried to pass through the Nanxuan Swamp to sneak attack a warehouse in Fangshi Town, Chenyu County, but he ended up missing in the swamp. At that time, the Tanxi Party denied this, but the truth is unknown.
The magistrate of Jiayu County is the most indecisive among the six counties of Yu County. The powerful forces in the county have not yet been settled, and there is an invasion from the outside by the Wuyuan Sect of Lin County. He actually invited monks from the powerful District family and Bi family.
They jointly resisted, but it was said that the people of the Bi family had a secret conspiracy with the Wuyuan sect and escaped with some excuses. However, they sent people from the county government and the district family into an ambush, and they were killed and returned defeated.
Siyu and Huaiyu counties are also suffering from internal and external troubles. Compared with Chenyu and Jiayu counties, the situation is not necessarily much better.
"It looks like it's about to start!" Yang Junshan muttered to himself.
"What started?" Yang Tianlei interrupted and asked.
Yang Junshan did not answer, but instead ordered: "Starting from tomorrow, the family caravan will bring enough jade coins and spirit grains, as well as the spirit ores mined from the Luoxialing mine during this period, and go out immediately to start collecting as much as possible.
Purchase all kinds of elixirs, whether they are magical elixirs or spiritual elixirs, whether they are used to assist cultivation or heal injuries, even if the price is higher, you must buy as much as possible!"
