Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 151 Where Is My Land? (one more)
Hearing that the common people were used as military rations, this soldier with a shallow stomach, "vomit..." has already started to retching, and he can't stand it anymore.

"So who is going to plant the crops here? Not by my daughter's house, by whom?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him sharply and asked in a high voice, "Who do you say you are relying on?"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, no one was reliable.

"You have also planted the land. It takes a lot of effort for the horse to pull the plough. How heavy is the plow and how hard the wasteland is. You have experienced it yourself." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bottomless black eyes and said, " Do you want to bully other people when you eat the food grown by your daughter?" He pointed to his clothes and said, "The sewing and repairing of our clothes are all made by women. After training, the wear and tear will be even worse. My daughter spins and weaves at home, and from now on, our clothes, shoes, and socks will all be connected by stitches.”

"No no no! It's too late to thank you!" Chen Zhongyuan said smartly.

"Yes, yes, thank you." Everyone agreed.

"This..." Lin Nanzheng stood up and said.

"General Lin has a different opinion?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with a smile and said.

"Uh..." Lin Nanzheng's hair stood upright when she laughed, and swallowed his saliva, "Actually, you can find aristocratic families for food and grass. They have more fields and more food."

"Yes! It's a little unbearable to let my daughter's family farm the land." Han Zhuhu echoed the words.

Lin Nanzheng and the others think this is normal. The characteristics of the feudal army, the soldiers are composed of self-employed farmers and recruited idlers and rogues, and the generals are mostly hereditary families of generals.

In the war, more emphasis was placed on the morale and personal bravery of the army, and more emphasis was placed on the army's salaries and rewards, and the stimulation of women and wine to the soldiers.In terms of equipment, most of the time, a mixed supply system is implemented.

That is to say, part of self-equipment, part of the aristocratic family.

The very famous one is Zhang Fei in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He is not a simple butcher who kills pigs and sells meat.

Zhang Fei wore silk and satin when he appeared, and he had a farm and servants.

With deep pockets, recruiting young and middle-aged people, it is easy to pull up the team.

For Uncle Liu's career, it is a matter of money and effort.

"You can't bear it?" Hong Lianshuo raised his eyebrows lightly, revealing his dark and deep pupils, looking at them and said, "Then where did the food and grass of these aristocratic families come from?"

"Of course it was planted in their farm." Lin Nanzheng said as a matter of course.

"Then who planted this land?" Hong Lianshuo asked with his bright eyes looking at him calmly.

"The tenant farmers planted it!" Lin Nanzheng said bluntly.

Hong Lianshuo nodded slightly, turned his eyes to the soldiers and said, "How much land did you have at home before you joined the army." He said encouragingly, "Tell me?"

"My family has a very capable population. It used to have more than [-] acres!"

"My family's more than 30 mu of land is also a good farmland. Now there are only five mu of Susukida left."

"My family has no land. I heard from my grandfather that my grandfather had a lot of land when he was a child. Later, an accident happened and the land was sold to the landlord."

……

"Once?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and asked, "Why is that place gone."

"The elders in the family were sick, and they sold the land in order to see a doctor."

"In the event of a disaster, I borrowed the grain from the landlord's house, and wrote a receipt. When it was not returned, the land was collected."

"I met a bully of the gentry, and I took a fancy to the good land that I had. I colluded with the government, charged my family with a crime, and took the land."

"There is no land, so I have to rent the land of the gentry."

"How?" Hong Lianshuo turned to look at Han Chuhu and the others.

"It's a very normal business. Of course, there are bullies who buy and sell forcefully. This is an individual phenomenon. You can't take it as a general phenomenon." Han Chuhu looked at her calmly and said, "I don't think there is anything?"

When Hong Lianshuo heard the words, his black eyes flickered, and he looked at the soldiers and asked, "What was the price of the land at that time?"

"In a hurry to use the money, it must be sold at a low price."

"I'm waiting for the food to survive! I don't understand what the loan is. It's what people say it is."

"Aren't you grateful!" Hong Lianshuo suddenly looked at them and said with a mournful expression.

"Yeah! I can solve my troubles."

"I'm really grateful, I'm grateful to Dade."

"But the land is gone."

Xing also knew that the ground was gone, Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and asked, "The price at that time was much lower than the usual price!"

"The price is kept low, and this is something that can't be helped. Waiting for the money, you have to sell it at a low price."

"How much is the rent to be paid for the landlord's land?" Hong Lianshuo asked in a deep voice.

"Where are we going to pay [-]%?"

"I will also pay [-]%."

"The landlord I met was not bad, and only paid [-]%."

"Is that enough to eat?" Hong Lianshuo continued to ask.

"Where can I get enough to eat here! It would be nice to have a dumpling of wheat bran and wild vegetables."

"I've grown up so much, and I've eaten steamed cakes made of flour these days. It's delicious!"

"Uh-huh!"

"It would be nice to have sorghum wowotou."

"A lot of times, we dig grass roots and chew tree bark."

"Miss Hong always says we have to live a hard life, but I don't feel bitter at all!"

"This is the day I never dared to dream."

Hearing this, Hong Lianshuo lightly stroked his forehead to cover his red eyes, pursed his lips and calmed down, looking at Han Jihu and asking, "What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Lin Nanzheng looked at her puzzled and asked, "They don't have all their days..." Under Hong Lianshuo's sharp eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller, "This way!"

"Miss Hong, what do you want to say? This is the way the big families in the world are!" Han Chuhu looked at her suspiciously and said, not feeling wrong.

"Of course it is!" Hong Lianshuo took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "Then let's break it, break it!"

"Did the imperial court provide disaster relief during the famine?" Hong Lianshuo asked Han Chuhu and the others sharply.

"Uh..." Han Yanhu was speechless when asked.

"No, I have never seen disaster relief in the imperial court, nor have I seen the food for disaster relief."

"We've seen it before." Si Xi said with a dark face.

"How did we meet Sixi? If we met, my mother would not starve to death." Mo Sanya said angrily.

"I forgot to burn the moldy grain with a torch." Jiang Shuisheng said with a dark face, "Those dignitaries would rather put moldy grain in the food than do disaster relief."

"I've seen the government's disaster relief food mixed with sand."

"I've seen expensive government food, but I can't afford it anyway."

"I don't have money, so I have no choice but to exchange the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law's for food. It's better to be a slave and a maid, and the good-looking ones are sold directly to the pickling place."

"This is all done by the government!"

"There is a disaster in our hometown, and those of us who escaped from the famine were driven away, and they were not allowed to enter the city. If they dared to break in, they would be killed without mercy."
