In this insect disaster, the most severely damaged are naturally those low-level Xuanwu families who have no way to resist the disaster.
For example Zhao and Liu.
A rough calculation will make it clear, still based on the previous model, if the production of 20 acres of land is reduced by 70%, there will only be 90 copper income, and the tenant farmers will have to share 30 copper as a guarantee, and then there will be 40 copper tax, 10 large copper Amortization of seeds of copper farming tools and tools, and 20 large copper insecticides. These alone have made the Zhao family and the Liu family not only have no harvest this season, but also have to post 10 large copper for every 20 mu.
In the case of Mrs. Liu, their several farms add up to more than ten thousand mu of fertile land, so instead of earning a dime, they have to pay 50 thousand gold.
This sum of dry money does not include expenses such as Nong Sang's head, and it adds up to more than one hundred dry gold.
It sounds like paying back one hundred dry gold is not a lot, but in fact, they are going to vomit blood because of this wave of losses. Because in a normal year, the 10,000 mu of fertile land could bring them a net profit of eight or nine hundred thousand gold this season.
Under normal circumstances, a family like Liu's has a huge annual expenditure, and it is their ability to save an extra five or six hundred thousand gold a year. The loss of a thousand gold alone has already discounted their two-year savings.
"There is another fatal news, Shouzhe, I'm afraid you don't know." Gongsun Hui said again, "The Changning Wei government has issued an order to all the families. This time, the summer tax cannot be offset by dry money, and it must be paid in real money."
With such news, Wang Shouzhe also took a deep breath. This is forcing the bottom Xuanwu family to death. In previous years, it was fine to pay food or money, as long as the equivalent amount was paid.
But this year, the families themselves are short of food. If they really pay for the food, it will make things worse for the bottom Xuanwu family. But this does not include the Wang family, and some of Wang's in-laws and allies, because everyone can afford to pay for the production this time.
The ones that were really hit were the aristocratic families like the Liu family and the Zhao family in Ping An. They don't have much food, and if they pay taxes on food, their stocks will be emptied. What should I do if I am in a hurry? Of course, the pressure can only be passed on to the low-level civilians, or even tenant farmers.
"The government's order is understandable." Wang Shouzhe said solemnly, "As far as the Changningwei area is concerned, there must be a general shortage of food. If the government does not use this order to mobilize food from the aristocratic families, chaos is very likely to erupt in the Weicheng alone."
"This time, Shouzhe intends to watch the Zhao family and the Liu family play well?" Gongsun Hui asked, "The annexation of land will inevitably lead to chaos, and the Zhao family and the Liu family may not be without risk."
"Do not!"
Wang Shouzhe's eyes were stern, "A safe place is the land where the ancestor Zhouxuan slaughtered beasts to open up wasteland, and spent a hundred years to build his foundation. How could I just sit and watch being ruined by two wolves? I want to take advantage of the chaos to annex the land." , Ask me if Wang Shouzhe is! This time, I will attack the Zhao family and the Liu family, and let them take a good look at Wang Shouzhe's methods."
"Shouzhe is really brave, I didn't misread you." Gongsun Hui's eyes flashed, "No matter what your decision is this time, my mother will support you. At this critical moment, my mother will definitely find a way to invite the old man The ancestors came to visit our Wang family."
"Old Patriarch?"
Wang Shouzhe's face brightened, "Auntie, how can you invite Patriarch?"
Among aristocratic families, ancestor-level figures would never intervene in the struggles between other aristocratic families at will, otherwise it would be very easy to trigger a larger-scale struggle between in-laws and factions.
Gongsun Hui said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that Grandma Lingdie, the fourth generation eldest queen of the Wang family, was married to the Gongsun family as the mistress. The old ancestor Wu is her biological son, and half of her blood comes from our Wang family. He is naturally close to our Wang family. And you must not forget that the old ancestor Wu is my own grandfather. When I went back to my mother’s house a while ago, I also visited his old man. He also regretted the old ancestor Longyan’s death I only regret that he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Realm at that time, and it was too late to hear the news."
After a pause, Gongsun Hui said again: "My grandfather also heard your grandfather talk about you. He is full of praise for you and wants to find a chance to meet you. I believe this time he is just a guest. His old man His temperament should not refuse."
"Okay, okay, it will be more stable this way." Wang Shouzhe was overjoyed, originally thinking that the ancestor Longyan was not in good health yet, so he wondered if he could deter him.
If the ancestors of Wu are willing to come and sit in town for a while, how dare the two ancestors of the Liu family and the Zhao family dare to mess around
Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui talked for a while, then left.
Sniping Zhao and Liu at the same time is a big deal, one needs to plan carefully, otherwise one will not be blinded by wild geese.
intelligence!
It has always been the basis of the war between the two armies.
Wang Shouzhe called Wang Zhong over. Wang Zhong's strength was not strong, he 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 affairs properly, and his mind is also very flexible.
"Greetings to Patriarch." Wang Zhong saluted after entering the door.
"Excuse me." Wang Shouzhe said, "I asked you to go to work before you were reunited with your family. It's hard work."
"It's not hard or hard work for the family." Wang Zhong was very energetic, and his eyes lit up when he heard about the work.
This is not just a matter of the Patriarch's generosity, but that every time the Patriarch makes a move, he turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain, and the Wang family has signs of great prosperity in the hands of the Patriarch. The general family and the master's family are a relationship in which one prospers and the other loses.
Wang Shouzhe smiled, and talked about what he needed to do.
Wang Zhong thought about it solemnly for a while and said, "Patriarch, the intelligence work is not the director of the subordinates. The subordinates recommend a general to the Patriarch—Wang Mei. She is only 23 years old, but her cultivation has reached the third level layer. But she has a delicate mind and is very good at sneaking in under disguise and collecting clues."
Wang Shouzhe was noncommittal, and sent someone to recruit Wang Mei, wanting to examine it himself.
After a while, Wang Mei was rushed by the family, and she saluted sincerely: "Meet the Patriarch."
Wang Shouzhe looked at her for a while, and found that this woman was plain and inconspicuous, as if she would forget what she looked like once she turned her head away. However, she has a good figure, with exquisite bumps and slender legs, and she obviously has good explosive power.
Immediately interested, he said: "Wai Li, Wang Zhong said that you are good at sneaking in under disguise, and have a delicate mind. Can you tell me about the situation?"
"Go home." Wang Mei said calmly, "This subordinate is really good at sneaking in under disguise."
"Oh~ you are quite confident." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I'll see if you can show it."
Wang Mei said yes, but she needs to do some preparatory work.
Wang Shouzhe got excited and asked her to prepare well. After she retreated, Wang Shouzhe calmed down again and began to plan this plan.
The plan this time is not a mysterious matter, it is just a small commercial attack. This kind of thing is happening all the time on the earth.
However, Wang Shouzhe planned very carefully, and this god-given opportunity should not be missed.
The steps of the plan are gradually taking shape...
"Meet the Patriarch." A thick man's voice sounded.
"Mian..." Wang Shouzhe turned his head suddenly, only to see a strange man standing with his arms folded. He was not tall but handsome, with a fair and handsome face, and he had the air of a Confucian general.
"You are?" Wang Shouzhe didn't remember that there was such a general in the Wang family, and immediately frowned.
"Patriarch, my subordinate Wang Mei." The man's general changed to a female voice, and Wang Shouzhe felt that the painting style had changed drastically, and goosebumps appeared. He said in amazement, "Your hand is really unique, interesting and interesting."
Hearing Patriarch's praise, Wang Mei rejoiced in her heart and said: "Patriarch, please wait a moment, and the subordinates will change one more."
An hour passed.
When Wang Mei appeared again, Wang Shouzhe was stunned, and Wang Zhong and Wang Gui were also stunned.
What appeared in front of them at this time was a graceful and graceful young woman, wearing tulle, wearing lotus shoes, and holding an antique flower umbrella in her hand. Come.
The most surprising thing is that her face has become beautiful, with pink lips and pink cheeks, and long hair rolled up, she looks like a big beauty.
She bowed gracefully, and her voice was as soft as a spring: "Meimei pays homage to the Patriarch."
"Gudu." Wang Gui, the servant at the side, swallowed his saliva directly, his eyes straightened.
Wang Shouzhe was well-informed and quickly came to his senses. At the same time, I was amazed that this woman's make-up skills had reached the point of perfection. Compared with those monstrous make-up techniques I saw on a certain music app in my previous life, it was not inferior.
This Wang Mei was comparable to those monster makeup skills of a certain sound, and Wang Shouzhe was shocked. After all, this Ping'an Town is a countryside within the countryside. Who of the children of the Liu family and the Zhao family have seen such a scene
I am afraid that if Wang Mei uses a small trick, information will follow.
