The only qi trainer

Wait, wait, spring is almost over, and there is still no drop of rain.

The drought that lasted for a year cracked the earth, only the corners were green, and only the trees took root in the ground to keep green, but the leaves were baked and curled in the sun!

Continuous severe drought, plants are sad, animals are also sad, people are even more sad!

After nearly a year of study, Li Yuanying has completely mastered the characters, and can accurately read the daily writing. Not only that, but also inquired about the common sense of this world, such as history and humanities, in the study with the old man Li!

Of course, Li Yuanying also knew that Old Man Li intended to teach him, otherwise he wouldn't chat with him at all.

inherited!

Although the old man Li's ancestors were all common people, he still didn't have the dream of being an aristocrat, a dream of a big family, even though the current aristocratic family and the old aristocrats have been deprived of their names and powers...

But the old man Li has been educated anyway, and he knows the importance of knowledge. Why did the former gentry survive for thousands of years!

Knowledge!inherited!

Old man Li attaches great importance to the cultivation of future generations, but since the founding emperor left, the literacy school was abandoned, and he was busy with his livelihood, so he had to educate his two sons in his spare time, and Li Tiezhu and his brothers were not very competitive, so they managed to learn seven Seven or eight will not learn.

As for the ignorance of his two sons, old man Li doesn't blame them. They are only literate, so what if they are literate?I am literate, but I don't travel around every day, what is the difference between illiterate and illiterate!

Thinking about it, old man Li was a little self-deprecating, but he didn't dare to give up the cultivation of his offspring. It doesn't matter if he can't do it, the offspring will always be better than himself!

How can I do without literacy!

In case the knowledge I taught is used by future generations, it is always right to learn more!

Following the old man Li's narration, Li Yuanying has a basic understanding of this vague world.

The Great Xia Kingdom in this world is similar to the ancient one in the previous life, and the dynasties changed more frequently, but more than 100 years ago, a god-man came to the world, and this person was the founding emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom!

The emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom rose in the troubled times, pacified the Quartet, and ended the troubled times.

After ascending to the throne, the emperor boldly reformed, because he was the emperor on horseback, his military strength reached its peak, and no one dared to surrender to the direction of the soldiers, because those who did not surrender lost their heads!

Building schools and literacy campaigns, this is something unprecedented, and it is the first time in the world!

The consequence is that the scholars are basically rotten!

Although many people persuaded him, the prestige of the founding emperor was too grand, and objections were invalid!

Li Yuanying whispered to himself, this is too reckless!

The aristocratic family who mastered the patent of literacy was directly stunned. In this way, being an official and becoming an official is not the patent of the aristocratic family!

Directly offend the family to the death!Li Yuanying respected this man, admired him!

It's just too far away from the emperor's affairs and the country's affairs. Li Yuanying's current predicament is lack of food.

Hunger is the first big thing to face!

Another month has passed, and summer is here.

The day became hotter, the sun hung high, cruelly baking the earth, and many people in the village had already started selling land to big households for food.

"Father! The food is almost finished, what should I do!"

"Why don't we sell the land too! The land tax and the head tax have been collected in the spring, and the food is really not enough!"

Li Tiezhu looked sad, and Dou Da's tears fell down.

"Although the land is important, if a person dies, is the land still useful?"

Old man Li trembled when he heard his son's words.

"Sell the land..."

Old man Li is in a heavy heart. This land was passed down by his parents back then, and he worked tirelessly to open up wasteland to get it. These lands are the foundation for a family to exist.

If the land is gone, it can only be used as tenant farmers by large households and landlords with land. How can tenant farmers be better than free people with land? After a year of hard work, they can barely make ends meet.

Old man Li closed his eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Li Yuanying on the side looked at the dignified family in front of him, and felt uncomfortable. In the modern society of the previous life, how could he encounter such an embarrassing situation? was cornered.

I want to speak up, but what can I say, relying on those so-called black technologies, what kind of soap, essence!

Not to mention whether it can be made, even if it can be made, how can we find raw materials in this severe drought environment!

Oh, go with the flow!

After a long time, old man Li thought about it and said tremblingly:

"Sell it, sell it!"

"People always want to survive. At worst, they will be rented and farmed by tenant farmers, and they will always survive!"

Hearing the old man Li's affirmative reply, everyone in the Li family finally showed a rare smile. Looking at the expressions of the people, the old man Li felt sad and twitched in his heart.

It doesn't hurt to sell Ye Tian!

Soon, a few days later, after some digging, a few people came from the city, they were the housekeepers and servants of the big family.

There are big and small housekeepers in the big households, similar to administrative officials of different levels.

These people had yellow complexions, black eye bags, and looked quite overworked. They were wearing short jackets, and one of them was more gorgeous, obviously higher-end than the others.

I didn't say much when I came, just let me take it to see the place.

"Master Zhang, this is the farmland of the old man's family, and it's all good farmland." Old man Li hunched over and said in a low voice, while speaking, he did not forget to wink at Li Tiezhu and his brothers.

The two Li Tiezhu brothers were not stupid, and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, they are all good lands, all good lands!"

The housekeeper surnamed Zhang just smiled when he heard the words of the three old men Li, and didn't say anything. He knew exactly what old man Li was up to.

Looking at the cracked field in front of him, which is about ten acres, and the newly purchased field is connected to it, Zhang Steward stroked his beard, feeling extremely happy.

"This is dry land, the price is cheaper, let's count it as one, two, five cents!"

"How can this work? I usually don't sell it for ten taels of silver!" Old man Li shouted anxiously.

"Humph!"

"You've already said that it used to cost ten taels of silver, but now it's different. One tael or five cents is too much."

Butler Zhang gave a cold cry, like the cold wind from hell.

"Old man Li, don't be too greedy!"

"Also, I want you to sell all the ten acres of land to my Gao family, otherwise, hum!"

Hearing Steward Zhang's threat, everyone in the Li family shrank their heads, and even old man Li shivered.

The Gao family, this is a big local family, with a large number of people, and I heard that there are still people in the family who are officials in other places.

Old man Li didn't dare to offend, and couldn't afford to offend, so he had to smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. The words that people don't fight with officials are not protecting officials, but protecting the people themselves!

Li Yuanying was listening, his teeth almost gnawed, and he was short of breath, this is too bullying!

There is such a big gap between the big family and the small people in Shengdou!

Li Yuanying saw it in a book in his previous life, but he didn't experience it personally. He didn't feel it before, he just thought it was something in a book, but now he is placed on the side that is bullied, and even wants to take a knife to chop these villains who oppressed his family. die!

After taking a few deep breaths, Li Yuanying turned around.

strength!

The power is still too weak. At this time, Li Yuanying is extremely eager to have strong power!

Under the intimidation of the Gao family, the Li family was a small family, and everyone dared not resist, signed the paperwork, handed over the land deed, and got 15 taels of silver.

A few more days later, the old man Li and the three returned from the county town in a state of despair.

When entering the door with gloomy eyes, she burst into tears and wailed endlessly.

"Don't sell food, they don't sell food!"

"what!"

"How could this happen? We are starving to death. Whoever farms the land for them, they grow it themselves!" Li Pozi screamed, covering her head.

"These big families are determined to starve us to death!"

"Mom! We went to the county town to buy grain, and when we went around, all the big families said that they would not sell grain, saying that they had already sold enough grain, and they were afraid that they would not have enough for their own family!"

Li Tiezhu trembled, the news was like a bolt from the blue, the land was sold but no food was bought.

Everyone in the Li family was ashamed when they heard the news.
