Chapter 1015: The attitude of the surnames towards the Han army
"Hey, have you heard that the Han army has begun to capture young men?"
"Have you caught a young man? Isn't it time to fight again?"
"A war? No, I have to pack up my things and run away!"
In the rear areas of Daqian and Taiping Dao Kingdom, I don’t know what is going on, but stories of Han troops capturing young men are circulating everywhere.
Moreover, these stories are all conclusive, as if the Han army will attack soon.
Not only that, along with the rumors that the Han army was capturing strong men to prepare for war, there were other rumors.
"Hey, Lao Qin, why don't you run away quickly?"
Lao Qin, who was working in the fields, was very curious when he saw his neighbors carrying large and small bags.
"Run, why are you running? The tax collector is here again?"
The neighbor said mysteriously: "Why are the tax collectors coming? The Han army is coming!"
Lao Qin was very confused, "The Han army came as soon as it came, will he still come to the village? Anyway, it will just be a new official, and we will just pay taxes as usual!"
The neighbor looked at Lao Qin as if he were a fool.
"You haven't heard that the Han army wants to divide the land. Your family has more than twenty acres of land. When the Han army comes over, it will divide your land!"
"And you will be killed by the Han army. It is said that you will die miserably!"
Lao Qin's heart trembled when he heard this, but he quickly figured it out.
"Where did this news come from?"
"I heard it from people. It's spreading everywhere now. You just don't know because you are busy in the fields all day."
He said that the neighbors were afraid that he would not believe it, so he added: "There are also landlords in the town who want their tenants to practice. Many tenants have to use their own hands. Otherwise, if the land is divided, they will not even be able to cultivate the land owned by the landlord." ”
Lao Qin was able to have more than twenty acres of land without letting it be swallowed up by the landlords, so he was naturally clever.
So he quickly discovered the problem, but he didn't know how to solve it.
He turned his head several times before he hesitated and said: "You said that when the Han army came, I took the initiative to divide the land. Will the Han army still kill me?"
When the neighbor heard this, he looked at him as if he were a fool.
"You are stupid. Why should you give your own land to the Han army?"
Lao Qin spread his hands and said, "But if you run away, won't your land be divided by the Han army?"
The neighbor was stunned and couldn't turn his head around. "But, but, but..."
Finally, he thought of a reason, "But at least we can survive this way!"
Lao Qin was very surprised, "But I gave the land to the Han army, and I can still survive!"
"The most important thing is that if I run out of land, the Han army will give me land, so I only lose a few acres of land!"
"And you, although you survived, you have nothing left?"
The neighbor was even more confused now. He stretched out his hand repeatedly and said, "Wait, wait, you made me think!"
He thought about it and thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the daughter beside him asked: "Father, why are we running away?"
"Nonsense, of course the Han army is calling...wait a minute!"
This spiritual realm suddenly seemed to think of something, and he patted his head.
"I just said I forgot something. Have you forgotten that a soldier is like a grate? Do you want to die?"
Lao Qin also laughed, "Of course I know, but do you think why the landlord doesn't run away? Isn't he afraid of death?"
The neighbor was disdainful, "Of course the landlord is afraid, but his family has a big business and he can't run away!"
Lao Qin shook his head, "No, why can't they run away?"
"Not only can they run, but they can also run faster than us. After all, you only know so much and others know so little, how can you compare with others!"
"So the landlord won't run away, why are you running away?"
"You are afraid of death. Isn't the landlord more afraid of death than you? You know, his family also has a nursing home!"
When the neighbor heard this, he seemed to be thinking a little and seemed to understand something, but not too clearly.
In this regard, Lao Qin reminded: "Have you forgotten that your family still has three acres of land in Hexi?"
The neighbor's eyes suddenly widened, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Fuck me."
"Fuck, I was cheated!"
After that, he took his family back again.
After watching his neighbor leave, Lao Qin sighed, but this time he did not lower his head to work.
He is a bit clever, otherwise he would not be able to keep his land from the landlord.
But the situation is different now. In the past two years, the twenty acres of land at home have become increasingly unsustainable.
Old Qin rubbed his hoe and thought quietly.
He very much hopes that there will be no more wars, but now wars are happening everywhere in the world, and taxes are increasing.
So what I hope now is that the Han army will come over.
For no other reason than because the Han army is very powerful, and after they are defeated, perhaps the world will soon be at peace.
When the time comes, what will happen even if the fields are divided?
It's better than now when it's almost impossible to keep the land!
"Ugh!"
He finally let out a long sigh. His third son was working in the city and seemed to have joined some kind of society. Anyway, he was not allowed to tell anyone about it, lest he risk being beheaded.
In this case, I looked for the third child that day. Since he dared to do this business, there must be a way.
At that time, he sold his land and ran away to seek a living under the rule of the Han army.
He didn't believe it. How could a living person be choked to death by urine?
Yes, just do it!
Lao Qin made up his mind. When Lao San came back, he would persuade Lao San to quit that society and join the Han army!
Not to mention anything else, it is said that if you are a top soldier in the Han army, you can be popular and drink spicy food. It is not much better than being in this or other company!
Just leaving home, this decision is still too difficult!
At the same time, this kind of thing happened frequently in Taiping Daoguo and Daqian, and even caused a lot of troubles.
But the driving forces behind these things are those who are rich and powerful.
They do this kind of thing for no other reason than to annex land.
Are you saying they don’t know the Han army’s policy?
they know!
They also knew that if the Han army came over, these lands would definitely not be able to be saved, but they just couldn't hold back!
The current opportunity is really, really good. If the land is not annexed as soon as possible, it will be struck by lightning.
Moreover, when they have enough land and are powerful enough, will the Han army divide their land?
Even if it's divided, the worst case is handing over a share for peace of mind.
They still don’t believe it. The Han army doesn’t need their help in governing the world?
Is it true that they are all idiots as rumored?
It's not that they look down on Mud Legs, Mud Legs are just a bunch of trash no matter what their abilities are.
At most, they are just a different kind of animal that eats less than animals, does more, and doesn’t need careful care!
The most important thing is that these mud legs are many.
It can’t be used up, it can’t be used up at all!
Therefore, if the Han army governs the world with mud legs, it is not because they underestimate the Han army, and the Han army will inevitably perish.
Again, what does a mud-legged person know?
The world is governed by landlords and gentry like them!
However, most of these are the thoughts of those on the home front.
As for the landowners and gentry near the front line, they don’t want the land you give them, and they even want to sell the land in their hands as soon as possible.
If nothing else, just say that among the landowners closest to the border, many simply bought their fields, packed them up, and sneaked directly into the territory of the Han army.
Generally speaking, this kind of people are not big landowners. They just have a small landowner of about 100 acres at home, raise livestock at home, and hire a long-term laborer.
I did all the other farm work myself, and I was very diligent.
Although this kind of person is reluctant to part with the land, he is still courageous. After all, the Han army also has land.
So the worst case scenario was that he would abandon his own land and join the Han army.
Isn’t it just about going to the fields to do farm work?
You can work on more than a hundred acres of land, but how many acres of land can’t be worked on? Can you still do it well?
Starting over from scratch, as long as you work hard and work hard, it’s not impossible to make money in this business!
