After fleeing the wasteland and farming, he made a rebellion

"Fuxi, wake up! Wake up!" Sun Fuquan, who was sitting next to Sun Fuxi, saw her eyes closed and shook her desperately.Xie Fangfei on the other side also looked concerned, and wanted to shake her but was a little embarrassed because she was not familiar with her.

"Master, wake up!" Xiaobao anxiously wanted to betray the master and wake her up by hurting her.

The rest of the people in the shack also kept calling for her.

Fortunately, Sun Fuxi was quickly awakened by Sun Fuquan, only to realize that he was almost lost in a comfortable sleep.

No, she thought to herself, she must find a way to keep warm, otherwise not only her, but everyone here will be in danger.

Perhaps it was because of the cold that her head was a little dull, and it took a long time before she realized that she could use spiritual power pills to warm her body up.

Although there were not a few Lingli pills left, life and death were at stake, and the lives of so many people were at stake. She took out two pills and threw them into the gourd filled with water next to Sun Fuquan.

Knowing that the effect of Lingli Pill was slow after mixing with water, she took a small piece and took half of it herself, and stuffed the other half into Sun Fuquan's mouth.

It wasn't that she didn't want to give it to her parents, the other brothers, and Ji Xingze, it was because she was far away and her body was about to freeze, so it was extremely difficult to do just these few movements.

"Fourth brother, pass the gourd down and let the big guys drink the water in it. Remember: no matter who you are, don't drink too much! No matter who you are, drink!" , Familiar and unfamiliar, as long as they are in the vicinity, they must be rescued.

The first to benefit were of course the people in the shack, and the last one to benefit was Ji Xingze.For the convenience of commanding, he sat near the door, where the wind was the strongest.

His lips were already blue from the cold. The moment Sun Fuxi told Sun Fuquan to pass on the gourd, he guessed what was in it without any hesitation. A small slit was thrown towards Dakui.I haven't forgotten to paraphrase Sun Fuxi's words.

In fact, there is no need to tell everyone not to drink more. In such a cold day, with such ice water, even if you want to drink more, you can't drink it.

In this way, the gourds containing the spiritual power pills were passed on one by one among the crowd.It didn't take long for these people's bodies to have a warm airflow slowly flowing. It was this warm airflow that slowly recovered one stiff body after another, and rekindled everyone's hope of life.

It wasn't until the sun rose the next day that the temperature gradually rose. Even though it was still very low, at least people could move around, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have we survived this?" Some people couldn't believe it, but they shed tears of excitement.

"Yeah, we finally made it through!"

Then one after another felt ashamed and did not forget to thank Ji Xingze and the Sun family, saying that without their reminder and help this time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

And that's before they know the real consequences.When the guards who had managed to slow down began to count people, they found that more than [-] people died of the cold wave among the exiles alone, and countless people died among the victims.This includes Taifu Xie, the key criminal in exile, and his wife

When Xie Yunfan and Yang Shi took their children to see Taifu Xie and his wife for the last time, they found that the faces of these two people were very calm like the vast majority of people who died this time, without even a trace of struggle or pain. It has something to do with them being suddenly frozen and unable to react in time.

But the question is why Xie Yunfan's elder brother, second elder brother and children are all fine, and these two just died?

After many inquiries from Xie Yunfan, he found out that at the critical moment, his elder brother and second elder brother only cared about their own lives and ran to the fire burned by the guards to keep warm, and no one cared about the old couple.

Although Xie Yunfan hated the two elder brothers for their ruthlessness, what could he say?Didn't he just take care of his own little family at the first time?

In grief, he became the main labor force again. With the help of Dakui and others sent by Ji Xingze, he wrapped Taifu Xie and his wife in straw mats and buried them hastily. A fate.Xie Yunfan racked his brains on how to divide the family, but in the end it was achieved in such a way.

Along the way, the people in the front and back teams were shrouded in deep grief and anger, but no matter how sad they were, the road still had to be walked, and those who left voluntarily or passively in the middle could only be passers-by in their lives .

Sun Chen's family did not follow the exile team to the end.

When Chen Liehu led his men to hunt, he found that there were countless mountain goods in the mountains some distance away from Hengshan County because of the inaccessibility. If they want to settle in Hengshan County, they will need a lot of money. There is such a chance to stock up on goods and make money. How can it be wasted?In the end, several families decided to stay here to stock up some mountain goods and then set off a few days later.There are also some families, but most of them are dead relatives who have no one to rely on, and there are quite a few people who follow them, including Liu Huniang and his wife.

They ended up stockpiling mushrooms, fungus, pears, wild reds, and dates, as well as pecans, hazelnuts, and pine nuts.Little Treasure even hoarded a lot of nuts, enough for him to eat for a long time.

They hunted wild boars and roe deer under the leadership of Chen Orion, Dakui and others, as well as many pheasants and hares.

Ji Xingze also harvested a lot of rare herbs and collected a lot of rare herbs. In the end, the storage bags for these things couldn't fit at all, and even their carts were full.

In order to take more things, everyone was carrying big and small bags on their backs, which caused them to move very slowly in the last section.

But that's it, when they sell these things for money, since they have been following the exiles before, they still belong to the earlier group of people who arrived in Hengshan County.

"What are we going to do next?" Despite Ji Xingze's young age, he has already become the backbone of everyone, and any problems encountered will be handed over to him to solve.After entering the city, Sun Wangui asked him.

"Let's not be in a hurry to go to the government to settle down, we will talk about it after we find out what the policies are." Even though he is only one step away from Anjia, Ji Xingze still thinks more than others.

"Okay," Sun Wangui nodded, "but with so many of us, we can't wait too long." Although it's only October, snowflakes are already falling in Hengshan County.In order to keep out the cold, all the animal skins hunted a while ago were tanned by Chen Liehu and Dakui and made into leather clothes to wear on everyone.But we have to find a place to stay as soon as possible, and we can't freeze outside in the cold.There are so many of them staying in the hotel all the time and they can't afford to live.

In order to get the news as soon as possible, all four of Da Kui were sent out to inquire.The rest of the group were not idle, and they planned to take a walk in the market to learn about the local market.

After inquiring, it was found that because there was no disaster here, the price of food was cheaper than any town they had visited before, even more than half the price.It may be because there are salt mines in the local area, and the people are used to pickling ingredients to preserve them for the winter. The salt here is only [-] yuan a catty, and there is no limit.However, in order to prevent outsiders from going here to buy and sell salt, they need to register every time they buy salt, and no matter where it is, salt can only be sold legally in salt shops under the jurisdiction of the yamen.

It is said that the above prices were increased after the refugees gradually flooded into Hengshan County.

The four of Dakui were very efficient in their work, and they quickly inquired about the news and joined the crowd.

"My lord, we have inquired about it," Dakui reported to Ji Xingze on behalf of the others, "The local households are settled by family, and those who are separated are settled by small households. After settlement, there is no division of housing or ready-made land, but you can Choose sharding to open up wasteland.”

After a pause, he continued under the expectation of everyone: "There are more land here, but most of them are wasteland. In the past, so many exiles were exiled here to open up wasteland. Not surprisingly, the same is true for the exiles who came with us before. .”

He added: "The reason why they took in us disaster victims is also to open up wasteland. What I said before is to open up wasteland by piece, which means that after we settle down, we can freely choose a piece of wasteland to open up wasteland. After the land is opened up, we can build houses and farm. , there is no limit. That is to say, if you have the ability to reclaim ten acres, then the ten acres will belong to you, and if you cultivate twenty acres, then the twenty acres will also belong to you.”

"Is there such a good thing?" Someone was secretly delighted.

Da Kui glanced at the man, "Do you think it's a good thing? Then what if the open fields don't produce crops?" At that time, it will be useless to open more.

"That's true." The enthusiasm that was overflowing from that talent disappeared again.

Da Kui comforted him again: "However, there is another possibility, that is, can the cultivated land be cultivated into fertile land?"

Ji Xingze asked: "How can we be sure that the land that has been opened and the house that has been built belong to us?"

Seeing that it was him who asked the question, Da Kui hurriedly replied with a smile: "At that time, you only need to pay some money to the government to handle the house and land deeds."

Ji Xingze nodded and asked again: "What else did you find out?"

"The government gave us a total of five years to open up wasteland. During these five years, there is no need to pay taxes to the imperial court. However, during these five years, the imperial court will not control the distribution of relief grain and seeds. We can only rely on ourselves." It's about the same as what I've heard here.

"There is no seed, and no money, even if the land is cultivated, there is no way to plant it!" Sui Daniu sighed.

"This can be credited to the government at the beginning of spring, and it can be paid back in double at the end of the year."

"What about the tax after five years?" Ji Xingze asked.

"The tax is calculated on the basis of mu. No matter what kind of land it is, you need to pay four liters of corn per mu every year, and the rest goes to the individual. The tax is calculated on a household basis. Each household pays one person for labor service every year. Two taels." This is actually the same across the country, although it is not very reasonable, but it has been used in this dynasty to this day.

The author has something to say:

Don't worry too much about whether the tax is reasonable or not, it's just a setting of the author.
