I’m The King Chapter 1248: : Carry on the past and open up the future (138) There are bandits in the mountains
Wen Yi and Wen Cheng didn't get a job in the town, but they rushed back excitedly. The good news they got in the town was enough to make them excited. The government wanted to distribute land to the common people at ten mu per square meter. Wen Yi made some calculations. Although his family only had three members, thirty mu of land was enough to support his family, and he didn't need to pay any more rent.
In the past, they rented the land of Master Yao’s family. Not only did they have to pay 40% of the rent every year, but they also had to bear the taxes and corvee of the country and the Linlin headquarters in the county. Later, the He and Liang families rebelled and killed Master Yao’s family. There was no one left, but these lands were finally closed, and they became tenants of the official land again, but the burden was not relieved at all. Instead, they fled Cang'er Mountain because of the remnants of He Liang's rebellion. They had to bear an additional cost of suppressing the bandits.
Now I can get 30 acres of land, but I don’t have to pay any more rent. The "Pig>Pig" Island" novel ww.m only bears taxes and corvee, which relieves most of the burden at once. In the future, there will be more Looking forward to it.
Wen Cheng's family has a larger population. There are two elderly parents and three children in the family. After all, they will get 70 mu of land. Compared with Wen Yi, he is more excited.
"Brother Cheng, I still need ten taels of silver per mu of land. My family needs thirty taels of silver for 30 mu of land. I still can't get this money out." As he walked, Wen Yi suddenly remembered Suddenly, he couldn't help but slow down.
"Ayi, you are confused again, aren't you? Isn't it clearly written on the notice? The money can be paid off in three years, and there is no interest. Your family has thirty acres of land, and you He is a good farmer, and in three years, can he still pay off thirty taels of silver, maybe in one year." Wen Cheng was still immersed in excitement.
"Yeah, I was so happy and confused when I heard it, did you really say that later?" Wen Yi asked.
"Of course I said that. Otherwise, my family would have to take seventy taels of silver. Even if I peeled my skin, I wouldn't be able to get it out!" Wen Cheng said with a smile.
The two people immersed in the excitement quickly returned to the village, stepped into the courtyard gate, and Wen Yi saw the woman leaning on the door frame, seeing Wen Yi returning empty-handed, the woman's eyes couldn't help but look pale He looked disappointed.
"Mother, our good days are coming." Wen Yi said happily, and impatiently told the woman what he had seen and heard in the town.
"Really? Can we have our own land?" The woman also became excited all of a sudden, "Is it really possible to do without money?"
"Well. At ten taels of silver per mu, our family of three can have three mu of land. Thirty taels of silver will be paid off in three years without any interest. Our king is really wise!" Wen Yi said sincerely : "When we get the land, let's work harder, and we will always have a good day."
The woman nodded happily and had her own land. Then everything will be there.
Wen Yi walked to the side of the water tank, scooped up a ladle of cold water, and drank it clean in one gulp, but at this moment his stomach growled uncontrollably.
"Damn. Is there anything else to eat in the house?"
The woman shook her head. "There's nothing left, just sit down for a while, I'll go look in the field and dig some wild vegetables back."
Wen Yi was stunned for a moment. Although we need land, it is still a matter for the future, and now we have to solve the problem of food. After thinking for a while, after thinking for a while, I walked to the corner and picked up a lamb fork, "His mother, go dig some wild vegetables. I'll go to the Cang'er Mountain to try my luck. Maybe I can bring back one or two wild game. You can improve the food."
"Don't go!" The woman grabbed Wen Yi's clothes all of a sudden, "There are bandits in Cang'er Mountain, it's very dangerous."
"Don't worry, I won't go into the old forest, I just wander around the edge for a while, besides, even if I do encounter bandits, they belong to the He Liang family. What else can he really do to me?" Wen Yi said with a smile.
"There are officers and soldiers stuck on the mountain road. If you let them catch you, they will say that you are also a bandit." The woman shook her head.
"It's so mysterious. I, Wen Yi, am an old family here. Who doesn't recognize it? Besides, those soldiers guarding the checkpoints are not real officers and soldiers, but rural soldiers in the county. I avoid it. Take the big road, take the small road and go into the mountain."
Getting rid of the woman's entanglement, Wen Yi picked up the sheep fork and strode towards the distant Cang'er Mountain.
All the roads into the mountain were blocked by officers and soldiers. Since the officers and soldiers attacked the bandits in the Cang'er Mountain and suffered a loss, the officers and soldiers no longer entered the mountain, but blocked them instead. The officers and soldiers wanted to starve these bandits to death .
Wen Yi is very familiar with Cang'er Mountain. He used to go into the mountain to buy small animals such as rabbits and pheasants. However, after the officers and soldiers set up traps, he never went there again. He was afraid of being caught by the officers and soldiers. That said, even if you are not a bandit, if you fall into the hands of these people, you will lose all your skin.
However, Wen Yi was a little hungry today, and seeing the woman's yellow and thin face made her feel even more uncomfortable. After she followed him, she never had a good day.
Avoiding those big and small checkpoints, Wen Yi slowly climbed up the mountain along a cliff. The terrain here is so dangerous that it is really rare for ordinary people to climb up, but the officers and soldiers didn't care about it.
It is difficult to enter the mountain, but as long as you enter the mountain, the sky is vast and there is no one to care about it. Wen Yi carried the lamb fork and walked slowly in the woods. Along the way, he found a lot of wild vegetables. These days, even wild vegetables are rarely seen outside. Every family has nothing to eat. I am digging wild vegetables. No matter how fast this wild vegetable grows, no one can eat it fast.
Quickly packing up the bulging bag, Wen Yi grinned happily, even if he didn't catch any prey today, taking these things back, women can fill their bellies.
There was a rustling sound coming from the front, Wen Yi approached lightly, and pushed aside the thick leaves, his brows were brimming with joy. He actually saw a deer grazing leisurely there. . After killing this deer, the family will no longer have to worry about food for at least a month. The antler on the deer's head is worth tens of taels of silver. Wen Yi just feels that God has favored him too much. The money to buy the land has been settled.
He lay on the ground and crawled forward bit by bit. The deer is a very dexterous and extremely agile beast. He only has one chance to hit him. If he misses the first hit, he will never have another chance. , In the mountains, I ran a race against a deer, even if I ran to death, I couldn't keep up.
Wen Yi almost held his breath, as he got closer, and got closer, the lamb fork in his hand became tighter and tighter.
The deer seemed to have sensed something, turned its head to look at Wen Yi's side, and shrugged its ears, Wen Yi knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he jumped up suddenly, holding the sheep's fork high , exhausted all his strength, and threw it forward, and almost at the moment he jumped up, the deer jumped up on the spot, and sprinted towards the depths of the forest.
"I hit it!" Wen Yi was so happy that he almost cried out, but immediately, the smile froze on his face. The son jumped into the jungle.
Wen Yi shouted and chased after him. This is the next ration for his family. The deer was injured and couldn't run very far. Seeing the blood on the ground, Wen Yi quickly chased after it.
Turning around a few big trees, he saw his fork fell to the ground. It seemed that in the process of running, the sheep fork hit the tree and fell off from the deer. He picked up the sheep fork and looked at it. The bloodstains on it were deep enough, and the deer would definitely not be able to run far.
Carrying the sheep's fork, Wen Yi chased along the blood spots on the ground.
He had long forgotten his idea of not going deep into Cang'er Mountain, but this pursuit was as long as a cup of tea. The deer's body became more and more sluggish, and its speed became slower and slower. On the contrary, Wen Yi became more and more vigorous. Flying over the bushes half a person's height, he saw the deer finally fell down, Wen Yi was overjoyed, slowed down, put his hands on his chest, panting continuously, and slowly walked towards the deer go.
Damn it, it really killed me, but it's really worth it.
He straightened up, and then saw two people turning out in front of the big trees where the deer fell.
Wen Yi froze all of a sudden. Among the two people, he recognized one of them, He Yong, the third son of the He family, the guy who became a bandit.
"Wen Yi!" He Yong obviously recognized him and called out in surprise. "How did you come into the mountain?"
Wen Yi swallowed with difficulty, "Brother He San." The breath he had held back before dissipated, and Wen Yi felt his legs go limp, and he sat down on the ground.
Both men carried knives, the one next to He Yong was even taller and thicker, half a head taller than He Yong, with a scar on his face, looking extremely vicious.
"I, I have nothing to eat at home. I want to go to the mountains to try my luck." Wen Yi sat on the ground and pointed at the deer. Not being able to go out smoothly is still a problem.
"Wen Yi, what's going on outside now? We've been locked up in the mountains for half a year, and the dog officers and soldiers have sealed it tightly, so we can't get out, but there's no news at all." He Yong walked up to Wen Yi, and He pulled it up, reached out and took a water bag from his waist, and handed it to Wen Yi, "You're tired enough, drink some water."
Wen Yi took the water bag, but his eyes fell on the man next to him, and he was trembling a little.
"Don't be afraid, that's my brother. Despite his fierce appearance, he's a good guy." He Yong laughed.
"Brother He, you, how are you doing?" Wen Yi asked bravely.
"Okay, what's wrong, I'm thinking about how to get revenge on those dog officials every day!"
"Don't go to Third Brother. There are still thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in the county. Even around Cang'er Mountain, there are still many officers and soldiers guarding you, pointing you out!" Wen Yi blurted out.
"Thank you Wen Yi, we can save ourselves, we won't take any risks." He Yong laughed. (to be continued...)
