Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 210 Twists and turns

The Xia family had just held a funeral and a happy event. Although the two heads of the family had separated, to outsiders, this kind of treatment was still a bit novel.

Xia Dalang became more and more silent.

He knew that Zhou Yunniang had a showdown with Erlang over the matter of this title, so he shouldn't blame Erlang for holding a wedding at this time.

But after all, he had just lost a lot of relatives. Not only his mother and father passed away one after another, but his wife and sister were also uncertain whether they were alive or dead. It was more likely to be a disaster than a disaster.

Even if Zhu is still alive and falls into the hands of the barbarians, what kind of situation awaits her?

Whenever he thought of these things, Xia Dalang felt like his heart was twisting in a knife.

Although everyone was congratulating Erlang, he also knew that his face was so heavy that it was too embarrassing, but he really couldn't put on a cheerful face.

When everyone was drinking wedding wine, Xia Dalang didn't drink a glass. Instead, he got up and left the table.

He was very upset.

But he also knew that Erlang would not blame him.

Erlang is a kind man.

If the family had not decided to move away in the summer and had no status, Zhou Yunniang would not have followed Erlang, and Erlang would not have held a wedding banquet at this time.

Erlang's marriage was very simple.

On the treat table, most of the dishes are home-cooked vegetarian dishes. There is only one pork belly stewed with beans, one cabbage stewed with fish, one kelp stewed with tofu, and one pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms, which are considered outstanding hard dishes.

However, those red colors that were not extravagant still stung Xia Dalang's eyes.

With red eyes, he hugged A Liu tightly and coaxed her to drink some millet porridge with the rice grains filtered out.

Li Gan was also a little depressed.

Among the three waves of assassins he got the news from, there were still some who hadn't arrived all the way!

It's none other than my stepmother.

Li Gan was worried for several days, and almost ten days later, his subordinates got the accurate information:

That group of assassins, when walking to Beiguan Village, somehow got lost in a detour and ended up in Tonghua Village under the jurisdiction of Huazhi County.

By chance, he even met Xiao Silu's subordinates.

They were so frightened that they hurriedly fled into the mountains and forests to the west, not even bothering to kill Li Gan.

In Beiguan Village, the Xia family repeatedly encouraged their close relatives and friends to leave together and move to Guan, but basically no one was willing to listen to them.

The Xia family planned to leave after the Chinese New Year. After all, it is difficult to travel in the cold winter months. If they miss Sutou and sleep in the open air, they will suffer a lot.

However, things like disposing of property must start now.

After the land was sold, they felt a lot more at ease - but they were used to working hard, and now that they had some free time, they felt uncomfortable all over.

The house couldn't be sold for a while, so it was just enough for my family to live in.

Wait until next spring, after February 2nd, the whole family will set off.

Before that, a few mule carts must be purchased.

The carriage is too expensive and not cost-effective.

Bullock carts are too slow and not suitable for traveling.

Mule carts have a strong load-bearing capacity, are cheaper than horse-drawn carriages, and are faster than ox-carts, making them suitable for moving.

After all, the old Xia family has some elders at the top and younger ones at the bottom. If they just rely on one pair of feet to walk slowly, they may not be able to hold the place, and they will have to reduce their number on a large scale.

Their family moved away, just like when they fled to Bohae County in the past, just to find a way to survive. Of course, they did not want to let their family members lose their lives in vain due to lack of preparation.

Mr. Xia sold the cow in his house with tears in his eyes. In order to keep the cow, he even dug a tunnel in his house that was as high as one person and as wide as two people.

Cattle are very valuable, young and strong ones are especially valuable.

But right now, this cow is only enough to exchange for one set of cars.

After selling the cow, Mr. Xia felt so empty that he couldn't sleep for several nights and got up in the middle of the night to smoke a pot.

In the Xia family's reluctance, they disposed of one piece of property after another. Gradually they gathered money and prepared to spend this winter frugally. When spring began and the weather got warmer, they started on their way.

The Xia family took Li Gan's advice into consideration and decided to move to Ping'an County near the capital.

The biggest advantage of Ping'an County is that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the remaining side facing the capital. Ping'an Mansion, the capital of Ping'an County, is only a day and night away from the capital by horse racing.

The place Li Gan suggested they go to was at the junction of Ping'an County and Zhili County in the capital, Jixiang County, which was affiliated with Ping'an County. Jixiang County was stable and prosperous, the land was flat, and the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were much less than elsewhere.

The county magistrate of Ping'an County is a capable person, and the magistrate of Jixiang County is the county magistrate's confidant. He has also learned seven points of the magistrate's skills. He manages Jixiang County in an orderly manner and does not close his house at night.

Moreover, the entire city of Ping'an County has a common feature, that is, the city has high walls, thick walls, and a deep moat. There is also a water source in the city. However, no matter which direction you look from the southeast to the northwest, Ping'an County is the hinterland, not the front line.

There will be no war.

It's just that it's not easy to move to this place.

The land price there is more than twice as high as the land price here in Beiguan Town. The houses there are also much more expensive than the houses in Beiguan Town. Even if you build it yourself, the cost of hiring people and the money spent on buying materials will be too much.

The cost is much higher than that in Beiguan Town.

But the Xia family has made up its mind.

Xia Daohua also entrusted him to help buy land in Jixiang County. The requirements were not high, and the fertility of the land did not need to be very good. It was enough for the family to fill their stomachs and build workshops and houses.

However, although the Xia family had a good idea, things did not go so smoothly.

First, the tax collectors collecting autumn taxes went to the countryside.

Beiguan Village has experienced war, and many people's houses have not been repaired, so they only have to dig temporary underground cellars to live in.

But the tax collector turned a blind eye to all this, including the destroyed fields.

Villagers are only required to pay taxes according to the book.

The Xia family was actually doing well. Whether it was food, silver, or cotton, linen, and silk, they paid everything according to the amount, either early or late.

But other families in the village were not so relaxed.

Although the villagers escaped death by hiding underground, many of their houses and fields were destroyed and their belongings burned.

At this time, the tax collectors came to force them to pay taxes, but they naturally could not pay them.

Not to mention paying taxes, I don’t know where the rations for this winter are!

However, the tax collector was more arrogant than anyone else, and he was accompanied by county government servants. Although the villagers were dissatisfied, no one could do anything to them.

Although the tax collectors saw that Li Gan and others happened to be staying overnight in the village and did not dare to be too arrogant in front of them, it was their task to force the villagers to pay taxes. Although Li Gan was lenient, he could not control them.

.

Xia Daohua did have the ability to teach them some lessons, but there was no need.

Because the Xia family has decided to move away, they naturally don't want to delay their own business with these trivial details.

The tax collector stayed in the village for nearly a month before leaving.

After the tax collectors left, the village did not calm down. A new wave of military service and labor arrived in Beiguan Village about four or five days after the tax collectors left.

The chapter has been replaced. Good night, sweet dreams, and see you tomorrow.
