Chapter 79: Landlord

Guiyang Prefecture, Hunan is adjacent to Guangdong, and it also clamps the southeast of Guangxi with Yongzhou Prefecture. Therefore, its border with Guangdong is in the Guangdong military defense line, connected with Lianshan and Lianzhou in Guangdong, and is set up as the Liangui defense zone. This defense zone is stationed in Sizhi Patrol Battalion, and the telegraph line has been established long ago.

Linwu County, Guiyang is connected to Lianzhou, Guangdong. The Guangdong army set up camps at the junction of the two places and stationed a battalion of troops. It also contacted many Yongzhou camps of the Southern Anti-Bandit Party established by Guanwen, and was preparing to set up telegram lines to support each other.

Nanshuangxi Town, Linwu County, has a population of thousands, which is one of the largest villages in Linwu. Recently, people have been in panic. It is probably because Mr. Liu sold all the fertile land in Shuangxi Village to merchants in Guangdong. Mr. Liu is the largest landlord in Shuangxi Town. There are hundreds of acres of fertile land in Shuangxi Town. The Liu family is known as the first Linwu family. Mr. Liu has moved to Changsha Prefecture long ago, leaving only the Zhuangtou to help him collect rent.

Who knew that there was a rumor in the town a few days ago that Mr. Liu sold all the land to a Guangdong merchant. The tenant farmers, long-term workers who rented the Liu family's fields were immediately furious and changed the owner. Who knew that the land was still not tenanted for them or hired small workers? Even if they were tenanted for them, would the rules such as renting land and renting land interest be changed?

In the past few days, these tenant farmers and small workers have come to Liu Axi, the leader of the Liujiazhuang. Liu Axi also smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to do, so how could he care about these hardships?

There is a willow tree at the entrance of Shuangxi Village. It is a hundred years old. How many people need to embrace it. The willow branches hang down, and there are afraid that there will be thousands of them. When the breeze blows, rolling green waves will appear.

At this time, Liu Axi hid under the roots of the tree tobacco pipes and hid out of the house. Her ear roots finally became clearer.

"Hey, it's okay if you hide out?" He said coquettishly behind him. Liu Axi knew who it was, his wife Chunyue, who had rekindled.

The fragrance was blowing, and a young woman with beautiful face walked over and sat next to him with light steps. She was wearing a blue cloth jacket and pants, which could not cover her plump body.

Chunyue was ten years younger than Liu Axi. She was originally a concubine of Master Wu Shuiwu in the neighboring town. She couldn't stand the abuse and beating of Master Wu and escaped from the Wu family. She fainted in front of Liu Axi's door and was rescued by Liu Axi. The widower and beautiful woman were killed by Chai Liehuo. When Liu Axi knew Chunyue's identity, she would almost be scared to death.

The Wu family is powerful, and there are even children who serve as commanders in the Hunan Army. They are a high-ranking official who ruled over thousands of people. If they have sex with a concubine who escapes privately, they will be beaten to death and no one will feel pitiful, let alone a concubine of the Wu family.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu was very kind to Liu Axi, and he personally came forward to make a fuss and compensated him. Mr. Wu reluctantly sold his favor, which was to resell Chunyue to him. Later, Liu Axi became a couple with Chunyue worshipped Tiandi.

"What should I do if I don't hide?" Liu Axi smiled bitterly, knocked on the upper part of her shoe, turned to look at Chunyue, and said, "Why don't we go?"

Seeing her husband's expression solemn, Chunyue was slightly stunned and asked, "Go? Where to go? Why do you want to leave?"

Liu Axi shook his head and said, "It's good to go anywhere, just don't be in Shuangxi Village." He didn't say anything in his heart, for fear of scaring Chunyue. After receiving a letter from Mr. Liu, the Wu family wanted to buy it when Mr. Liu sold the land, but the bid was too low. Mr. Liu sold it to the Guangdong merchant, for fear that the Wu family would hold grudges and then regained the old accounts of the past.

"Did you hide something from me?" Chunyue stared at Liu Axi for a moment.

Liu Axiqiang smiled and said, "Where are you? You are just suspicious." Even if you go far away, you have to wait for the matter in Shuangxi Town to be done. You always have to explain to the new master that after eating the rice and grain of the Liu family for so many years, you must do things with all the beginnings and ends, right?

"You are lying, you have something in your heart, so I can't tell it?" Chunyue frowned.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The two of them turned their heads and saw dust flying on the loess road coming south, and twenty or thirty riders were coming to speed.

Liu Axi's heart tightened and stood up: "Let's go back." He grabbed Chunyue's hand and walked towards the village. Chunyue's already gentle temperament, and saw that his face was frightened, he did not dare to ask again, and stood up obediently.

But these riders arrived very quickly. In a blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the entrance of the village. They pulled the reins one after another. With the long neighing of the horses, a man in green robe shouted: "I wonder, how can I get to my brother Liu Axi and Liu's house?"

Liu Axi was slightly stunned and turned to see that these riders had already dismounted one after another. Among them, there was a young man in a gorgeous costume, with a graceful and wealthy, with clear eyes like lightning. He was the best. Even among thousands of people, the first thing you saw was him.

"You, are you all from Guangdong?" Liu Axi asked hesitantly.

The man who was the first to talk to him smiled and said, "Yes, my master came to visit Zhuangzi."

The people came naturally and even took Ye Zhao to count the oxen and farm tools. In this era, wealthy tenant farmers might have farm tools, but most tenant farmers hired workers to rent their owner's livestock and equipment.

Ye Zhao didn't know before, but when he saw Liu Axi counting how many hoes and plows in the storage room, he couldn't help but be stunned. Such simple means of production were all amazing property in this era?

"Master, do you see if the number is right? It's just a hoe. The little one accidentally jumped and the little one had already lost money and could find it in the account book."

In fact, the hoe was broken by a long-term worker. Liu Axi despised his poverty and counted it on his own account.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "It doesn't matter."

Liu Axi said anxiously: "This, why doesn't it matter? Master, I have been in the banker for twenty years, but no child has made any mistakes."

Seeing that his black face became so angry, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "So, I hope you will work for another twenty years. What a pity, you have already made a fortune."

Liu Axi lowered her head and said nothing.

At this time, a pretty well-dressed farmer suddenly ran into the yard and was stopped by the guards.

But he said anxiously: "Brother Ah Xi, please leave quickly. The Wu family has come. It must be coming to you. You can leave quickly. It's too late not to walk!"

Liu Axi's face turned pale, but she still had a few things on her hands that she didn't explain clearly. What should I do?

Seeing the fear in his eyes, Ye Zhao frowned and said, "Wu family? Who is?"

For the new week, please recommend tickets

There is another update tonight. I didn’t think I would like to update one chapter separately. It’s really because the time has not been adjusted well. I’m sweating. This period of time has been updated twice a day. Starting tomorrow, I will write more accounts for each chapter. I can only make up for accounts when I join the army to make up accounts slowly. I can write more such things every day. It’s impossible to write ten thousand words at once to make up accounts.
Chapter completed!
