The talented lady is busy farming

Chapter 1772
Hong Daquan explained some truths to his brother-in-law, and it was true that this was the case, but Catcher Li slandered in his heart, who would be the one to suffer, not himself.

"Okay, take good care of me. I'll pick you up in two days. I can't really let you go to the quarry. Don't worry." Seeing that his brother-in-law bowed his head and said nothing, Hong Daquan didn't know he had listened. No.

The time he agreed with General Wu Shen was approaching, Hong Daquan turned around and left the cell, and told the prison chief to take good care of him. His father-in-law and mother-in-law would come over tomorrow, so it was not good for the old couple to look at his brother-in-law in a bad state.

No one knows what Hong Daquan went to Wu Can and the two said, but if anyone saw Hong Daquan's expression, he would know that Hong Daquan must have bled a lot, otherwise, he would not have a mournful expression up.

"This blood-sucking leech, bah, wait until you ask me one day." The relationship between Hong Daquan and Wu Canjiang is also on-off and on-off, who made Wu Canjiang have the temperament of plucking wild goose.

Zhao Ning began to secretly investigate the big and small things in Yanqingguan, and even found out about the Yanqingguan yamen. Although he was prepared in his heart, but when he learned that the county yamen's warehouse had no money or food, I couldn't help but hold my forehead.

"What's wrong? Got a headache again?" Xia Wan saw Zhao Ning rubbing her temples again. Since she came to Yanqing Pass, Zhao Ning's movements have become more frequent. Even when she first advised Li Chongguang to become a military adviser, Not so often.

"Wanwan, look, I'm really a pauper now, not only me as the county magistrate, but Yanqingguan is also a pauper, not to mention that Yanqingguan doesn't have so many strong laborers now, even if there is, I can't let them eat Have a full meal." Zhao Ning really has a headache, a smart woman can't cook without rice, even if he has a big idea, there must be something for him to use.

Let alone bringing back more people who left Yanqing Pass, the seeds and cattle for next spring will not be available.

"Didn't you leave a single copper coin? They are really ruthless, but don't be afraid. If you steal their home, you will have everything. Let's take a look at this. The news Xia Yi and the others got, yours Strong labor, it is estimated that [-]% of them are here." Xia Wan gave Zhao Ning a few pieces of paper, on which was the information obtained by Xia Yi and the others.

Zhao Ning looked at it, and it was a list, which recorded in detail the hidden households raised by the "Four Evils" in Yanqingguan. These people become hermits and are used by them.

They seized more arable land, even staking the land, and let these hermits work for them, extracting a very large value. These hermits have been protected by the four evils, and they don't have to pay land tax and poll tax, and they don't have to serve corvee and other things. Although he has to hand over his labor income to the master every year, it also protects the safety of his family to a certain extent.

Many of these hidden households are from Yanqingguan, and many people came from other places, and there is a line at the bottom of this list, these hidden households will be changed every once in a while.

Zhao Ning was a little confused, "What does this mean?"

"It means that many people disappeared quietly after becoming hermits. That's how many strong laborers in Yanqing Pass disappeared." Xia Wan also knew the seriousness of this matter, and the conspiracy behind it might be even bigger.
