The eighth uncle is very senior in the village and is fair in dealing with things. The most important point is that he and a few old people in the village are in charge of the Li family ancestral hall. If he is really offended and kicked out of the clan, it will be more than worth the loss! So Li Yaozong's mother tried hard to hold back her crying, wiped away her tears and called her two daughters-in-law into the back room, and the room became quiet.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief and waved to Li Yaozong to come forward. Then he said to him: "Yao Zong, you have been outside and become an official, so I have something to say to you. You can explain it to your family later! These people only know how to farm." , I don’t understand what’s going on at all!”
Although Mr. Li Yao was also angry at what the eighth uncle and the village chief had done, he felt that since two people were explaining it, there should be room for maneuver, so he calmed down his anger and said, "You tell me, I'll listen to that! "
The village chief sighed and said: "Don't blame me for not helping you just now. Instead, he pushed your family into a pit of fire. There was nothing we could do about it! You also know that if our village only relies on farming, it will really be a disaster." We don’t have enough to eat! The entire village can make some money by raising silkworms, so this is a big deal that can’t go wrong! If something goes wrong, half the village will starve to death. Do you understand this?”
Li Yaozong nodded and said, "I understand this. Uncle, please continue!"
Somehow, the village chief sighed again. It seemed that he sighed a lot today! However, he still cheered up and continued: "I heard from the elders before that the nobles in the court used to make a lot of troubles because of the opening of the sea and the ban on the sea! In fact, no matter whether it is opening the sea or banning the sea, this matter is not good for the nobles. It may be just an excuse for them to fight, but for us ordinary people, it is a matter of life and death! And you happened to be part of one of them! Otherwise, you wouldn't have said so many big words while drinking! "
Li Yaozong's expression changed when he heard this! He was listening to the officers' explanations in the military camp, and he still knew a little about the whole opening of the sea. However, the man in front of him, who had only been as far as the county seat, and who could only nod and bow to the officers, actually saw through the battles in the court at a glance. thing!
So he couldn't help but wonder, maybe the village chief is a hermit? But what he actually doesn't know is that this is just the wisdom he has accumulated through his struggle to survive!
At this time, he heard the village chief sigh and say: "Yao Zong, since you are involved in this, you cannot avoid the waves involved! If you say something to everyone, it is equivalent to vouching for the nobles on your side. So if the village is really affected by the fight between nobles, in order to prevent the whole village from starving to death, I can only push your family out to calm the anger of the villagers!"
When he said this, everyone in the Li family turned pale with fear! Their family has been an honest farmer for several lifetimes. How could they have imagined that they would actually be involved in the struggle between the nobles of the imperial court! Although they don't have much wisdom, they also know that when they participate in such battles, ordinary people like them often die without a burial!
At this time, Li's mother grabbed Li Yaozong and said loudly: "Son, we don't want to be a soldier anymore, and all the money will be returned! Let's..."
At this time, the eighth uncle slapped the table again and said loudly: "Li family, what are you talking nonsense here? Things have come to this point, and you can just stop doing it if you don't want to do it? If you continue to do it, there will still be half If you say no to the hope of achieving good things now, the noble man will only become angry and take his anger out on your family!"
Mother Li seemed to be frightened by her eighth uncle. She was holding Li Yaozong's arm and didn't know what she was thinking! At this time, the village chief took the opportunity to say: "Li Lao'er's family, you don't have to worry too much. We are all local relatives in our hometown, especially since our family has not yet released the fifth server. I will not harm you! If someone really does it in the future, Everyone will be happy if they come to collect raw silk. If no one comes to collect raw silk, and you go out of your way to kowtow to the villagers and try your best to make some compensation, can I still watch your family hang themselves?"
With these words, Li Yaozong's family came to life, especially Li's mother knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her eighth uncle and the village chief! After the two of them suffered a blow calmly, they called on Li's father to pull his mother-in-law up. At this time, the eighth uncle said again: "Yao Zong, are what you said accurate?"
Li Yaozong thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "I believe what my commander-in-chief says! My commander-in-chief is willing to
You can definitely do what you say! If something happens by then, I will collect the raw silk of the whole village. Even if I go overseas to sell it, I won’t watch everyone starve to death! "
The village chief clapped his hands and said, "Okay, he is a man! This is the man of our Li family! But remember, your uncle and I keep our word and will never let anything happen to your family!"
Hearing this, everyone in the Li family was filled with gratitude! As a result, the village chief didn't appreciate it at this time and sent the whole family outside. Then he and the eighth uncle interrogated Li Yaozong from the beginning about the whole incident.
It wasn't until Li Yaozong was asked that his face was covered with sweat. After that, the two of them didn't say anything to him. They just looked at each other silently and turned away, leaving Li Yaozong to explain everything to his family.
And what Li Yaozong didn't know was that there were many people like him, and they sent people to almost every village in every state and county! If there are people from the same village in the navy, people from the same village will be sent back. There was no one serving in the navy in this village, so someone was sent to preach.
The main purpose is to tell them that no matter whether the sea is open or closed this year, someone will definitely come to collect their raw silk, and tell them not to worry and to do whatever they need to do! Although there are many places that cannot be preached, it is enough to open a breakthrough in one area and open up the situation.
At the same time, in a large restaurant in Nanjing, two private rooms were opened, with two large tables placed in them. The people sitting around the table were all middle-aged men. Some of them can still see traces of their military background, but more of them are wearing military uniforms, and it is no longer possible to tell that they are soldiers!
These people are the commanders of the various David posts in the south of the Yangtze River. They received military orders some time ago to report their duties to Nanjing City. They were very surprised when they first received the news, because it was not time to report on their work at all, which meant that there was something else to do when they went to Nanjing to report on their work!
However, most people have already speculated that it must be related to this sea ban! Now the news about the forbidden sea has spread in Jiangnan, and many coastal defense command rooms stationed on the seaside have seen a large number of warships swimming on the sea, searching for pirates and smuggling ships, so they are even more worried. Countless! But what they don't know is, which side is Wei Guogong on this time?
