Chapter 2309 Carefully Selected Targets

Han Du was lying at home with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling rapidly.

He vomited blood last night, and his wife shamelessly asked a man from the village who had studied medicine to take a look at him, for free.

The man checked his pulse and looked at his face, and then just said that Han Du was out of breath and was attacking his heart. It would be good if he could recover. If he could not recover, he would become ill in the future, which was hard to say.

This vague answer made everyone in the Han family breathe a sigh of relief, and his daughter-in-law was planning to go to her married daughter's house immediately to get some food back.

"do not go!"

Han Du did not open his eyes, and his voice was a little weak.

"If you don't go, there will be no rice tomorrow."

"do not go!"

Handu's eyebrows knitted together, his swollen eyes opened with difficulty, and he said, "Help me up."

His two sons came over and helped him up. Everyone was worried about how long the family could sustain.

"Dad, where are you going?"

Since potatoes became popular, hungry people are really rare.

But the Han family is like this. The land cultivated by their tenants is getting less and less. After paying higher and higher rents, it is difficult for the family to even have enough food to eat.

Han Du was helped out by his two sons. His wife probably knew what he was going for, but she didn't stop him. She just sniffed and called the remaining sons to get ready and go out to find some wild edible food tomorrow. thing.

Han Du, father and son, arrived at the gate of the Huang family all the way.

"Want to borrow money?"

Huang Da yawned, and then said coldly: "Master is still sleeping. Come back in two days."

Han Du immediately smiled and flattered him, and was about to go back.

Why is the master still sleeping? Not to mention that it is already three o'clock in the morning, but the little money Han Du borrowed, why does Huang Huan need to make the decision?

The master just set the rules: Our family will lend money to bankers, set the interest rate higher, and completely obtain the ownership of those fields...

As for the rest, the servants will naturally take action. The eldest master only needs to sit back and watch the family property continue to increase.

This is Huang Da fishing. In two days, the Han family will probably starve to death. Naturally, they will not argue about the interest rate being too high...

Seeing that Han Du had regained his energy and actually broke away from the support of his two sons and knelt down to kowtow, Huang Da snorted in disgust and turned around to go in.

He would rather see Han Du die. In that case, the brats in his family are no match for him. With just a few coaxings, the Han family can owe the master a debt that will take several lifetimes to repay.

This is one of the important ways for the gentry to make a fortune. Gradually, those people will become like slaves. When the time comes, they can be gathered under their subordinates just because they have a name, and they can live as long as they live and die as they please.

After making that decision, Handu felt relieved and happily said that he would cut some meat and go home in a few days.

The two teenage sons were still silly and happy until they saw a group of cavalry coming, and then they quickly helped Han Du and stood on the side.

This group of cavalry seemed to be on an outing. They didn't look sharp, and some of them were even joking.

When he got closer, Han Du boldly looked up and seemed to see Yuan Jie, the county magistrate.

Yuan Jie once came here when he first took office in Shangyuan County, and Han Du had seen him at that time. He was the biggest official he had ever seen. He was so honored that he went home and boasted about it for a long time, so he still remembers his appearance to this day.

But he just glanced at it, but he seemed to see Yuan Jie smiling flatteringly.

He was confused, thinking that Yuan Jie was the highest official, how could he be so polite to others.

He was already in a daze, so he took another bold look and happened to see the object of Yuan Jie's flattery. A man was looking at him. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

Fang Xing looked at the father and son kneeling beside him and frowned, "Why do you keep kneeling down so often?"

Yuan Jiedui smiled and said: "Uncle Xinghe, you have made great achievements in battle, how can they deserve your might?"

Someone told Han Du and his son to get up. Han Du thought he would meet a kind official again, so he was ready to go home and talk to his wife.

Fang Xing looked at the giggling father and son,

Feeling depressed in his heart, "Uncle Ben once visited the countryside with Emperor Wen and His Majesty today, but he never saw anyone kneeling."

Yuan Jie's flattery was in the wrong place, but he was an experienced official, so he immediately changed his mind and said, "Emperor Wen and His Majesty love the people like their own children. This is the blessing of the world!"

Fang Xing nodded noncommittally, and then the group arrived at the front door of the Huang family.

"Look, my family has done good deeds and accumulated good deeds. This is a blessing!"

When Fang Xing heard this, he turned around and glanced at Han Du, who was smiling, and asked, "Is your master good at doing good deeds?"

Han Du was stunned for a moment, then said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, sir..."

At this time, the gate opened. Huang Da saw Fang Xing and others riding horses, and there were more than a hundred cavalry behind them. He was immediately happy and asked, "I dare you to ask, sir, are you passing by? I have ice at home. If you don't abandon it, please stop and rest." horse."

This is the roadside, and there are often cavalry or caravans coming to ask for water, and many officials also come here, so when Huang Da saw the extraordinary momentum of these people, it was almost a flattering invitation.

After he recognized Yuan Jie and saw Yuan Jie's respectful attitude toward Fang Xing, his heart blossomed with joy, and he repeatedly called for his master Huang Huan, who was at home on leave.

Fang Xing dismounted and stood under the eaves in front of the door, looking at the courtyard inside, and casually said: "You are not looking for the wrong place, are you?"

Li Jing from behind said: "Xinghe Bo, this is it."

Xinghebo?

Huang Da's legs were a little weak. He had come forward to get close to him, but after hearing this familiar name, he quickly stepped aside, his face pale.

What is this evil spirit doing here?

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from inside, and the sound came before the person.

"Which lord is visiting my humble home? I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar!"

Fang Xing looked down and saw a slender middle-aged man walking quickly.

The man was dressed in cloth and had a warm smile. If it weren't for Yuan Jie and the East Factory choosing this place, Fang Xing would probably think he was a modest gentleman.

"Are you Huang Huan?"

Yuan Jie asked with his hands behind his back. Those flattering smiles had been replaced by majesty, majesty that could make people tremble.

Huang Huan was stunned, and came forward and bowed: "Hello, Lord Yuan, I took a leave yesterday..."

This question and answer seemed unrelated, but Huang Huan's words had something to say.

- I am an official in the government office. Although you, Yuan Jie, have a higher official rank than me, you can't control it!

"Master, it's Lord Xinghe..."

Huang Da, who was standing next to him, risked his life to let him know. Li Jing said to him with admiration: "Loyal and devoted, we like people like you the most. We will get to know you in person later."

Lord Xinghe, eunuch...

Huang Huan was frightened for a moment, then calmed down and bowed his hands and said: "Lord, I am honored to have you here. Please take a seat at home."

Fang Xing ignored him and just ordered: "Call those farmers."

Huang Huan felt that something was wrong, so he moved his face, then made his eyes look righteous, and asked: "May I ask Lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Even if the emperor came here, he had to ask the host before calling all the farmers.

After asking, the scene was strangely silent, and everyone was silent.

Not long after, those farmers came one by one, no, they were crying.

The soldiers shouted at the side, some said it was a good thing, don't cry and make trouble, but those farmers had never seen such a scene! So they cried even louder.

What bad luck!

When the farmers came closer, they gathered together automatically without being driven away, and the crying gradually subsided.

"I am Fang Xing!"

Fang Xing's self-introduction suppressed all the crying.

Everyone is in danger!

It is said that this uncle kills without blinking an eye. Is he going to take action when he comes to Huangjiazhuang today?

"I am here today because I have news to tell you."

Fang Xing knew that his next words would probably cause resistance from some farmers, so he said it more harshly.

"Your Majesty has an order, and after discussion with the important officials in the court, from today on, we will start to clean up the surrenders in the south!"

"What? Clean up that surrender?"

"Why? On what basis?"

Sure enough, Fang Xing's words were like a grenade, which immediately made some farmers emotional.
