……
In this insect disaster, those who suffered the most serious damage were naturally those low-ranking Xuanwu families who had no way to resist the disaster.
For example, Zhao and Liu.
A rough calculation will make it clear. Still based on the previous typical calculation, if the production of twenty acres of land is reduced by 70%, there will only be a profit of 90 coppers. The tenant farmers will have to share the minimum of 30 coppers, and then there will be a tax of 40 coppers. , 10 coppers for farming tools and seed amortization, 20 coppers for pest control powder. With these alone, the Zhao family and the Liu family not only had no harvest this season, but also had to pay out 10 tons of copper for every twenty acres.
As for the Liu family, their several farms combined have about 10,000 acres of fertile land. Therefore, not only can they not earn even 1 dime, but they have to pay 50 thousand gold in return.
This amount of dry gold does not include the expenses of Nong Sang, etc. The total amount is more than one hundred dry gold.
It sounds like a hundred thousand gold is not a lot of money, but in fact, they are going to vomit blood this time. Because in a normal year, these 10,000 acres of fertile land could bring them a net profit of eight to nine hundred thousand gold this season, but this time, they have lost hundreds of thousands of gold in net profit.
Under normal circumstances, a family like the Liu family's annual expenses are also very large. They can save an extra five to six hundred gold a year. The loss of just one thousand gold had already wiped out their two years of savings.
"There is another fatal news, Shouzhe, I'm afraid you don't know." Gongsun Hui added, "The Changning Guards have issued an order to all the families. This summer tax cannot be deducted with dry money, and must pay in real money. ."
Wang Shouzhe also took a breath of air at such news. This was driving the bottom Xuanwu family to death. In previous years, you could pay food or money, as long as you paid the equivalent amount.
However, each aristocratic family is short of food this year. If they pay for it in earnest, it will make things worse for the Xuanwu family at the bottom. But this does not include the Wang family and some of Wang's in-laws and allies, because everyone can still afford to pay for the food they have maintained this time.
The ones that really hit were families like the Ping An Liu family and the Zhao family. They don't have much food to begin with, and if they pay tax on food, their inventory will be emptied. What should we do if we are in a hurry? Of course we can only transfer the pressure to the lower class civilians, or even sharecroppers.
"I understand the government's order." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, "For the Changning Guard area, there must be an overall food shortage. If the government does not use this order to mobilize food from the aristocratic families, chaos is very likely to break out in the guard city alone. situation."
"Is Shouzhe interested in seeing the good show of the Zhao family and the Liu family this time?" Gongsun Hui asked, "Land annexation will inevitably lead to chaos, and the Zhao family and the Liu family taking chestnuts from the fire may not be without risks."
"No!"
Wang Shouzhe's eyes were stern, "This peaceful place is the place where ancestor Zhou Xuan killed ferocious beasts and opened up the wasteland, and spent hundreds of years to build the foundation. How can I watch it being ruined by two jackals? I want to take advantage of the chaos. Play land annexation, ask me if Wang Shouzhe has ever asked me! This time, I am going to attack the Zhao family and the Liu family, and let them take a good look at my Wang Shouzhe's methods."
"Shouzhe is indeed very courageous. I saw you right." Gongsun Hui's eyes flashed, "No matter what your decision is this time, Wei Niang will support you. At this critical moment, Wei Niang will definitely find a way. Please invite Patriarch Jie to visit our Wang family."
"Anti-Ancestor?"
Wang Shouzhe's face was filled with joy, "Auntie can actually invite the Ancestor to be killed?"
Between aristocratic families, ancestor-level figures would never interfere in the fights between other aristocratic families at will, otherwise it would be extremely easy to trigger a larger-scale fight between in-laws and factions.
Gongsun Hui said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that our aunt Lingdie, the fourth generation eldest daughter of the Wang family, married the Gongsun family as the mistress, and Ancestor Jie is her biological son, half of the blood? Being from our Wang family, we are naturally close to our Wang family. And don’t forget that Patriarch Jian is my biological grandfather. When I returned to my parents’ home some time ago, I also met with him. He also felt very sorry for Elder Longyan back then. During Zu Na’s battle, I only regret that he was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm at that time, and it was too late when he heard the news.”
After a pause, Gongsun Hui added: "Ancestor Jie also heard what your grandfather said about you. He was full of praise for you and wanted to find a chance to meet you. I believe this time I just asked him to come as a guest. , with his old man’s temperament, he should not refuse.”
"Okay, okay, this way it will be more stable." Wang Shouzhe was overjoyed. He originally thought that Longyan Ancestor was not in good health yet, so he wondered whether he could intimidate the opponent.
If Ancestor Jie is willing to come and sit in charge for a few days, how dare the two ancestors of the Liu family and the Zhao family dare to make trouble?
Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui talked for a while and then left.
Sniping at the Zhao family and the Liu family at the same time is a big deal. You have to plan carefully, otherwise you won't be blinded by the goose peck by accident.
Information!
It has always been the basis for the war between the two armies.
Wang Shouzhe called Wang Zhong over. Wang Zhong was not very strong and was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining Realm. But recently I have gradually discovered that this person has a relatively calm personality and handles things properly, and his mind is also very flexible.
"Meet the master." Wang Zhong saluted after entering the door.
"No gifts." Wang Shouzhe said, "I have to do something before you can reunite with your family. Thank you for your hard work."
"It doesn't take hard work to do things for the family." Wang Zhong was very high-spirited, and his eyes lit up when he heard about doing things.
This is not just a matter of the family head being generous, but also feeling that every time the family head makes a move, it turns his hand into clouds and his hand into rain. The Wang family has signs of great prosperity in the hands of the family head. The relationship between the family general and the master's family is one of prosperity and loss.
Wang Shouzhe smiled and explained what he needed to do.
Wang Zhong thought solemnly for a while and said: "Master, intelligence work is not the specialty of my subordinates. I recommended a general to the master - Wang Mei. She is only twenty-three years old, but her cultivation level reaches She is at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. But she is meticulous and observant, and is very good at disguised and sneaking in to collect clues."
Wang Shouzhe was noncommittal and sent someone to summon Wang Mei to conduct a personal assessment.
Not long after, the family leader Wang Mei arrived, and she saluted with fear: "Greetings to the master of the family."
Wang Shouzhe looked around and found that this woman had an unremarkable appearance, as if he would forget what she looked like as soon as he turned his head. However, she has a good figure, with curvy and slender legs, slender and strong legs, and obviously has good explosive power.
Immediately asked with interest: "Without courtesy, Wang Zhong said that you are good at infiltrating in disguise and have a delicate mind. Can you tell me about the situation?"
"Go home, Master." Wang Mei said calmly, "This subordinate is indeed good at infiltrating in disguise."
"Oh~ you are quite confident." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Can you show it to me?"
Wang Mei said yes, but she needed to make some preparations.
Wang Shouzhe became more interested and asked her to be more prepared. After she retreated, Wang Shouzhe calmed down again and began to plan this plan.
This plan is not something profound, it is just a small business sniper. This kind of thing happens all the time on the earth.
But Wang Shouzhe planned very carefully, and this God-given opportunity could not be missed.
The steps of the plan are gradually taking shape...
"Meet the head of the family." A rich man's voice sounded.
"No..." Wang Shouzhe suddenly turned around, only to see a strange man, a general, standing with his hands in his hands. He was not tall but had an imposing appearance. His face was fair and handsome, and he had the aura of a Confucian general.
"Who are you?" Wang Shouzhe didn't remember that the Wang family had such a general, and immediately frowned.
"Master of the house, I am Wang Mei." The male general changed his voice to a female one, and Wang Shouzhe immediately felt that his painting style had changed drastically, and he even had goosebumps. He said in amazement, "Your skills are really unique and interesting. Interesting."
Hearing the master's praise, Wang Mei was happy and said: "Master, please wait a moment, and I will change another one."
An hour passed.
When Wang Mei appeared again, Wang Shouzhe was stunned, as were Wang Zhong and Wang Gui.
What appeared in front of them at this time was a graceful young woman. She was dressed in tulle, wearing lotus shoes, and holding an antique flower umbrella in her hand. She was swaying with every step she took. The faint fragrance comes.
The most surprising thing is that her face has become more beautiful, with crimson lips and cheeks, and long hair pulled up, she looks like a beautiful woman.
She bowed with a graceful posture and her voice was as gentle as a spring: "Meimei pays homage to the master of the family."
"Gudu." Wang Gui, the boy beside him, swallowed his saliva and his eyes widened.
Wang Shouzhe was well-informed and quickly came to his senses. At the same time, I was amazed that this woman's makeup skills had reached the level of proficiency. Compared with those monster-like makeup techniques I saw on a certain music app in my previous life, it is actually not inferior.
This Wang Mei's makeup skills are comparable to those of some monsters in a certain voice, which makes Wang Shouzhe mentally shocked. This Ping'an Town is a countryside within the countryside. Which of the children of the Liu family and the Zhao family have ever seen such a scene?
I'm afraid that if Wang Mei makes a little plan, the information will come one after another.
