The general idea is to thank the great master and the court for their kindness, but now there is no need to register for household registration in Taoyuan Valley. After all, everyone will break up in the future, and no one will want to live in this hundred thousand mountain. It is better to wait until everyone returns to their place of origin, and the household housing It would be more appropriate for Mr. Lidian to register again.
After these words, although the house official was a little hesitant, he had to leave with a smile.
There is no way, just relying on the few government officials behind him with chattering teeth, what they want to do here, I'm afraid they are not pretending to be ghosts in front of the King of Hell, seeking death!
However, after leaving Taoyuan Trail, the household official turned around and looked around. He could hardly contain the hatred in his eyes: "Humph! When the imperial army arrives, I'll see what you do!"
He didn't know that at this moment, not far away from him, a wooden grasshopper transmitted all his words back.
The imperial army?
Fang Xiaoyue frowned. It was obvious that Pinggui would station troops in Suping County to prevent Beiyue from invading again.
But the problem is that Pinggui's army is not a good one.
It is more appropriate to describe them as better than bandits and as defeated as rogues.
Let's put it this way, if you compare the military discipline of several surrounding countries, Pinggui Kingdom probably ranks last.
It is precisely for this reason that the Pinggui army is famous for its weak combat effectiveness.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue didn't care about the imperial army at this time.
As soon as the house official left, Taoyuan Valley became a little noisy.
Some of the more excited women went back to the cabin to prepare for the move. However, the men in their families had some brains and calmed down after scolding them a few times.
But Fang Xiaoyue also knows this kind of thing, and force alone is not the answer.
There are only a few people who like to live in deep mountains and old forests.
Besides, it’s hard for people to leave their homeland, including Zhang Dadao, who might be ready to pack his bags at this time if he comes back to life.
"Everyone come to Shaiba to get together, and I'll talk about things."
Thinking of this, Fang Xiaoyue immediately piped up her luck and shouted towards the surroundings.
Soon, men, women, old and young gathered around the dam.
More than seven hundred people seemed to be a lot.
"Folks, what do you think about today's matter?"
Fang Xiaoyue did not express her views directly, but let the villagers speak first.
When he asked this question, the villagers below immediately became excited.
Some said they wanted to go home, some said they would follow Zhang Dadao, and some looked hesitant, not knowing what to say.
Even at the back, those who wanted to go home and those who wanted to stay got into a quarrel, and Fang Xiaoyue had to stop it sharply.
"You want to go home, and I want to go home, but have you thought about what you will do after you go back? Winter is about to enter. Houses and farmland have been burned to ruins by the Beiyue Army. Don't expect disaster relief food from the court. You see Have you ever had to provide food for disaster relief? You have also seen the behavior of those officials in the past. When you go back, they will come and take away your only food. If they cannot hand over the food, they will be put into prison and tortured... .....”
Fang Xiaoyue tried his best to describe the terrifying scene after returning.
Many villagers who originally wanted to go back with great interest no longer had smiles on their faces.
They thought back to what life they had lived before.
In addition to paying a lot of grain to the landlords every year, there is also a lot of grain paid as taxes.
Anyone who cannot pay their taxes will be taken to the county government and put on heavy shackles every day in the square in front of the county government.
Every year after the autumn harvest, a large number of people who cannot afford to pay agricultural taxes stand in chains and die in the county government square!
This is not surprising. People who wear shackles in public are not allowed to drink or eat. They can only drink and eat after taking off the shackles.
Under such circumstances, no matter how healthy a person is, he will fall into a coma if he stands for a day continuously. What's more, the newly appointed county magistrate has been known as a cruel official since he took office. Extremely cruel and ruthless.
As a result, the originally excited villagers felt like a basin of cold water was poured on their heads, and their minds, which were boiling like molten steel just out of the furnace, suddenly cooled down.
They are not stupid, but their longing for their hometown has overwhelmed their sanity.
But now that their senses came back, they immediately understood that the words of the house official Dian had evil intentions.
If he went back by himself, once the villagers dispersed, they would have no choice but to let the government officials extort and torture them.
But here, in Taoyuan Valley, even the household official Dian did not dare to offend in any way.
Maybe this is what Uncle Zhang said: Unity is strength?
After Fang Xiaoyue spent some time talking, most of the villagers calmed down and decided not to move back.
Of course, they are not stupid. There was a bumper harvest of rice before, and now there is a bumper harvest of potatoes. There is so much food in Taoyuan Valley, if they want to eat it, it can keep them from going hungry for several years.
You know, after returning, those fields may not be able to produce such a high yield.
And the most important thing is that Uncle Zhang said that Taoyuan Valley does not pay taxes!
This undoubtedly gave the villagers a piece of candy!
But the problem is that the vast majority of villagers are willing to stay in Taoyuan Valley, but there are still a very small number of people who want to leave Taoyuan Valley.
For example, Zhu Dasheng's son-in-law, Shao Niu, and his wife, or several families with some land.
Shao Niu was the most determined to return to his hometown, while his wife Zhu Daohua just followed her and left.
On the contrary, Zhu Dasheng himself firmly opposed going back.
But the problem is that the young couple is leaving, and as the father-in-law, he can't control them. After all, in this dimension, if you want to control Shao Niu, you have to have Shao Niu and his father.
But Shao Niu's father had been killed long ago when the Beiyue Army invaded.
Therefore, as far as his small family is concerned, Shao Niu is the patriarch, the head of the household, and he has the final say.
As for those families who had some land and wanted to leave, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't stop them. He was not a slave owner.
Of course, even if they wanted to leave at all costs, he did not force them to stay. However, when they left, each family was given two hundred kilograms of potatoes from Taoyuan Valley on a per-person basis.
These two hundred kilograms of potatoes can be eaten by one person, and the crops can be harvested.
Moreover, Fang Xiaoyue also sent people and horses to send their whole family and potatoes directly back home.
The thorns and unrest in Taoyuan Valley were gone, and Fang Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.
If they are willing to leave, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad in the future.
In fact, the people who left Taoyuan Valley really didn't end up well.
As soon as they arrived home, the village garrison came.
The so-called garrison is a trick created by the new county boss. It probably means that in order to verify the population of each village and implement the distribution of disaster relief grains, a temporary worker is placed in each village. He is probably a follower of a regular government servant, without salary. , but you can use the reputation of the government to bully the people.
