I

Zhang Tieniu wiped off the blood on the ax body, looked at Chen Maosheng, and immediately smiled: "What are you doing with the firewood?"

"ah?"

Chen Maosheng looked dull, looked at Zhang Tieniu, and then looked at his hands. He suddenly let go of his hand, and the firewood fell, hitting the ship's deck with a muffled sound.

Chen Maosheng has no memory of the entire battle.

This guy screamed and rushed forward, waving firewood and striking randomly. He didn't touch any enemy, and he was fighting with the air the whole time. He shouted and slapped, and the checkpoint was seized by Zhao Han.

At that time, my mind went blank and I didn’t even know how to get on the ship.

Chen Maosheng finally regained his consciousness at this moment, and quickly touched his whole body, and was surprised to find that he was not injured.

"Where are we going?" Chen Maosheng asked.

Zhang Tieniu put away his ax and said, "I don't know."

Yan Jiu walked over and said: "The mountains ahead are the boundary of Xuanhua Township, and beyond the mountains is Yongxin County. After Yongxin County, it is the boundary of Huguang."

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Lijia system has been in parallel with the Dutu system.

The Lijia system is calculated based on household registration and is mainly used for tax collection.

Capital mapping, calculated by area, was mainly used for military purposes.

There is a capital in the countryside, and there is a map under the capital. They all belong to the regional concept, and there will be no administrative positions.

The area under the jurisdiction of Xuanhua Township is very large, including a large area from Tianhe Town to Yongyang Town in later generations.

outside the cabin.

Fei Yinggong looked at the mountains and said, "The feng shui is good ahead. I'll get off the boat there and come and share the money."

The box of broken silver that Fei Yinggong snatched from the inspection department's yamen was the bulk of his harvest.

As for the money snatched from the bank checkpoint, it was all tax revenue for the past few days. There were several boxes. Although they were large in size, most of them contained copper coins. All the money had to be sent to the eunuch.

"Weigh the silver." Zhao Han took out two scales, one large and one small.

Fei Yingcong smiled and said, "You are already prepared."

Zhao Han said: "I came here from Chaoguan."

The silver box was quite large, filled with scattered silver. There was a lot of space in the gaps, and it was not full.

Weighed it several times with a large scale and found about 3176 taels.

Zhao Han complained: "This eunuch is really poor. The Qianshan tax inspector only collects door-to-door tax. I heard that he can earn more than ten thousand taels."

"Is this place comparable to Qianshan?" Fei Yinggon sat down and said, "Let's stop chatting and start dividing the silver. I agreed to split the money half and half, and I will never change my mind. The silver will be half to each person. After the distribution is completed, the copper coins will be divided."

"Easy to say." Zhao Han smiled.

Each side got a little over 1,500 taels.

There is a difference between good and bad quality of copper coins. No one takes advantage of anyone. Just reach out and grab a few strings and count them slowly. You have to recognize them no matter they are good or bad.

Fei Yinggong asked: "You won't go into the mountains with me?"

Zhao Han was a little confused about the geography and asked: "Are there mountains in front of you?"

Fei Yinggong said: "There are many mountains. Beyond the mountains is Yongxin County."

"I won't go there. Let's get off the boat before entering the mountains." Zhao Han has admired Yongxin County for a long time, and he doesn't know if Sanwan Village existed in the Ming Dynasty.

Fei Yinggong asked curiously: "You came all the way from Qianshan, and you didn't come with me when you got the money. What do you want to do?"

Zhao Han grinned and said, "I said I wanted to rebel, would you believe me?"

"Well……"

Fei Yinggong was at a loss for words. He looked around and saw that Zhao Han didn't seem to be faking it. He immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are so ambitious. I have never thought of rebelling."

Zhao Han pointed to the mountains and said: "You are in the mountains and I am outside the mountains. We can take care of each other. If you want to go down the mountains to rob, just go to Yongxin County and don't come to my side to rob."

"I want to see when your rebellion will succeed." Fei Yinggon said with a smile.

Zhao Han said amusedly: "If you kill the eunuch, doesn't it count as rebellion?"

Fei Yinggong slapped his head fiercely: "I forgot about this, I can be considered a fucking rebel now. Okay, we are all rebels, take care of each other, I am in the mountain, you are outside the mountain."

"Brothers in charge of the boat, please come to the shore ahead!" Zhao Han shouted.

Fei Yinggong said: "Let me remind you, the front is called Huangjia Village, also called Huangjia Town. Half of the people in the town have the surname Huang, and their ancestors were Jiedu envoys in the Tang Dynasty."

Well, it’s another big family that can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.

Hundreds of years later, there was the Gongge Hydropower Station here.

At this time, there were no hydropower stations, dams, or reservoirs, and the area of ​​cultivated land was much larger than in later generations.

There is a small wharf in Huangjia Town, which serves merchant ships heading to Huguang. The specialties are agricultural products and handicrafts.

Zhao Han and Zhang Tieniu worked together to carry 1,500 taels of silver, which weighed a full 80 kilograms, or 95 kilograms in pure kilograms.

Then he carried more copper coins, which were two big boxes.

When we arrived at a small inn by the river, the waiter greeted us warmly: "Are the four of you staying at the hotel?"

Zhao Han said: "I have been here for a long time. I have collected a few boxes of goods and are waiting for the shopkeeper to load them."

"Then please come in." The store clerk was even more happy.

Two rooms were chosen, Zhao Han and Pang Chunlai lived in one, and Zhang Tieniu and Chen Maosheng lived in one.

After checking in, the meeting started immediately.

Zhao Han sat cross-legged on the bed and said straight to the point: "As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. Let's set the rules first. Establish an organization first. I'm too lazy to think of a name. Let's call it Datonghui, which means the world is unified. Who? have opinions?"

Zhang Tieniu looked at Chen Maosheng, and Chen Maosheng looked at Pang Chunlai. Pang Chunlai chose to close his eyes and rest.

"Since we all have no objections, it's settled," Zhao Han continued, "These coins are neither mine nor yours, but belong to our Datong Association. In this operation, rewards will be based on merit, and you, Maosheng, will be responsible." Accounting, Tieniu, you are responsible for taking care of the money, and Mr. Pang is responsible for checking the accounts every month."

Chen Maosheng couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, why don't we leave here?"

Zhao Han explained with a smile: "There is no need to leave for the time being. First, we will inquire about the news and find out the situation in the villages and towns, and then look for opportunities to form a farmers' association."

"What is a peasant association?" Zhang Tieniu asked.

Zhao Han explained: "The Iron Foot Association is a porter's association, and the peasant association is a peasant association. We help the farmers speak up and support them, and then form peasant soldiers to force the landlords to reduce rent and interest, and force the landlords to give farmers permanent tenant rights. If there is If any landowner disobeys, then he is a black-hearted landowner. He will kill the clan leader, distribute his land to the clan's children, and force the family to divide the family and divide the property! Aren't half of the people surnamed Huang? I just see how many people want to separate the family. of."

Pang Chunlai suddenly opened his eyes and nodded in approval: "This is a good method. It doesn't take away their property, it just forces them to separate their families. The bigger the family, the more clan branches and branches, and the children in the clan are all ours." .”

Zhao Han said: "Let's see if there is a private school here. Sir, you can apply for a tutor."

"I'm old enough, so it shouldn't be a problem." Pang Chunlai said with a smile.

"What about me?" Zhang Tieniu asked.

Zhao Han said: "You just keep the money, a few thousand taels, I wouldn't worry if it were someone else."

Zhang Tieniu felt that he was trusted, and immediately said happily: "Put it on me, let alone 1,500 taels, even 15,000 taels. I, Tieniu, will never run away with money."

"Should I...shall I sing in an opera?" Chen Maosheng covered the scar on his forehead and said with some inferiority complex, "But I'm disfigured, so I can't sing in an opera."

Zhao Han comforted him: "Wear a big hat and you won't be able to tell. You don't have to sing, just follow me every day, watch more and learn more, and I will teach you something."

"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Zhao." Chen Maosheng nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Han felt so tired. He had traveled thousands of miles to different places and was unfamiliar with the place. There were only three people around him. Among the three, only Pang Chun came to give him peace of mind.

I don’t know what level this rebellion difficulty is.

Damn Master He, I originally wanted to start an uprising in Qianshan!

That night, Zhang Tieniu stayed in the guest room to take care of the money, while Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, and Chen Maosheng went downstairs to eat.

After the food and wine were served, Zhao Han asked the waiter not to leave: "Brother, I want to ask something."

The waiter said: "Guest, feel free to ask."

Zhao Han said casually: "My hometown is Jishui, and I used to do business in Nangan. The farmers in Nangan were making trouble and business was not easy to do, so I wanted to take the Huguang business route. My family sent me to set up a front station, and I wanted to do it here. If we want to set up a transshipment warehouse, who should we contact to discuss purchasing land and building a warehouse?"

"Then you asked the right person, I know everything." The store clerk shut up after saying this.

Zhao Han took out a few coins and said, "After everything is done, there will be benefits for you."

"You are so proud," the store clerk happily accepted the copper coin, "our Huangjia Town was formerly called Huangjia Village. There is a large Huang family ancestral hall outside the town, and the Huang family's ancestral home is next to the ancestral hall. All major events happen to the person in the ancestral home. Mr. Huang has the final say. You must not build a warehouse too far away from the river. The good land by the river belongs to Mr. Huang. There are some gravel lands on the river beach that cannot be planted with crops, so no one has ever wanted them. Since no one wants them If you want, it belongs to Mr. Huang. If you give Mr. Huang a sum of money, he will sell you the gravel beach to build a warehouse."

"I see, thank you for your advice, brother," Zhao Han said, cupping his fists, "What's your surname, brother?"

The shop assistant smiled and said, "My surname is also Huang, and my name is Huang Daliang. When my mother gave birth to me, she had to wait all night to give birth to me at dawn."

Zhao Han complimented: "Since this is Huangjia Town, the Huang family must be from a wealthy family. It turns out that Brother Huang is also a descendant of a wealthy family. Disrespect, disrespect."

Huang Daliang sighed: "We all have the same ancestor, but I don't have that blessing. People in the ancestral home said that our ancestor was a military governor named Huang in the Tang Dynasty, but I have never seen a Dalian genealogy in my life. Yes. I don’t even know them, so I can only write my own name and only recognize the names of the dishes on the water labels.”

Zhao Han continued to ask: "How long has it been since Brother Huang separated from the family?"

"I don't know," Huang Daliang said, "Anyway, my grandfather's grandfather has been cultivating those few acres of thin fields. Later, the thin fields disappeared and I could only work as a tenant. My family wanted me to work as a waiter in an inn. I even lent money to give the landlord a chicken."

Zhao Han said angrily: "We are all from the same clan and have the same surname. How can we bully others like this? We should help each other."

Huang Daliang smiled and said: "In this world, no one helps whom. If you don't starve to death, God will open your eyes."

Zhao Han asked again: "Are there no other big clans around here?"

Huang Daliang pointed behind him: "There is a person named Li in the northwest. The ancestral graves of previous generations were smoking, and a Jinshi was born. The Li family has risen and occupied more and more land..."

"Man, why hasn't my food been served yet?"

Suddenly, a diner banged the table.

"Hey, here we come!" Huang Daliang responded and said, "Sir, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to rush to serve the food."

Zhao Han raised his wine glass, smacked his lips and said, "Master Huang? Just don't ask Huang Silang."
