In fact, as Yang Junshan expected, when Shi Nansheng chose to lead the Shi family to move, those who were finally willing to follow him to Huangqiu Town only accounted for two-thirds of the Shi family's households, about two hundred and a thousand households. The Yu Shi clan members chose to leave.
According to the news from the clan members, after the Shi family began to move, the monks from the Shantian Villa appeared openly among the Shi family members, assisting and escorting the Shi family members along the way to Huangqiu Town.
After Yang Junshan got the news, he just sneered. With the Shi family's beginning, I'm afraid there are other people in the village who can't sit still. Even those who don't want to leave may wonder whether the Yang family's intention to expel the Shi family is behind it. Inside.
Although he had expected it, Yang Junshan still did not expect that on the night when the Shi family began to move out one after another, someone would come to the door, and there were two of them!
"Uncle Li and Brother Xu, are you two also planning to move your clan and leave Xishan Village?"
Xu Lei and Li Shaoqun looked at each other with a smile, and Xu Lei said: "It is true that they plan to move away, but the Xu and Li families do not plan to go to Huangqiu Town, but want to rebuild the village in Huangtu Town."
This idea was a bit beyond his expectation. Yang Junshan asked curiously: "This makes me a little confused. The county government is in Huangtu Town to attract more spiritual farmers to cultivate spiritual fields, but They offered extremely kind conditions, but since the Xu and Li families don¡¯t plan to go to Huangtu Town, why bother to relocate and rebuild a new village?¡±
Xu Lei smiled and seemed to be thinking about what to say, but Yang Junshan was not in a hurry and waited patiently. After a while, Xu Lei said: "I don't know if the young patriarch has noticed that the county government uses Xiong and Yu Liang. The conditions for recruiting spiritual farmers to work on the spiritual fields of the family are extremely favorable, but in fact the ownership of the spiritual fields is still in the hands of the county government. That is to say, no matter how long the spiritual farmers cultivate on a spiritual field, as long as the Shantian Sect wants , this spiritual land will be taken back from the spiritual farmers at any time!"
Yang Junshan was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect this.
Li Shaoqun laughed at the side and said: "Most of our rural monks' ancestors were spiritual farmers. As long as the ownership of a spiritual field is in our own hands, even if the grain tax is heavier and the output is lower, we can accept it. It's nothing more than It¡¯s just that you have to work harder; and those spiritual fields in Huangtu Town, even if they are handed over to you for a hundred years, but when you think about the county government having to hand over the spiritual fields in your hands with just a word, how can such spiritual fields be able to let people Feeling at ease?"
Yang Junshan nodded with understanding, and then said: "But the Shi family also moved the spiritual fields that originally belonged to them to the north of Huangtu Town near Huangqiu Town. These spiritual fields are still theirs, even if they are In the future, when the county government takes back these spiritual fields, they can continue to live off their own spiritual fields!"
"But will they still have a village to stay in? Will the Yang family allow them to rebuild their village in Huangtu Town, or will they generously allow them to return to Xishan Village?"
Xu Lei had a sarcastic smile on his face. The young patriarch of the Xu family had become increasingly gloomy in recent years, and the city was getting deeper and deeper. He didn't know whether it was because of the death of his mother or because of Xu Jing. It was because of the humiliation and blow brought to him by breaking off the engagement, but Yang Junshan secretly and maliciously believed that it was more likely to be the latter.
"One day, once the Shaking Sky Sect takes back the spiritual fields they farmed, without the support of the spiritual fields, the village they built in Huangqiu Town will inevitably cease to exist, and the entire Shi family will probably be reduced to a tenant without property! "
"So what do you two mean?"
Xu Lei's expression perked up, he took out a map of Huangtu Town from his arms, pointed to a place in the southwest on the map, and said: "Here, there was originally a spiritual field of the Yu family, and in this spiritual field There are two wild spiritual fields nearby, and these three spiritual fields should be under the control of the Yang family. The Xu and Li families are willing to free up all the spiritual fields in Xishan Village in exchange for the three spiritual fields here, and hope that We got two promises from the Yang family to help us build a village!"
Yang Junshan knew all the spiritual fields under the control of the Yang family in Huangtu Town. He only looked at the map and knew the quality and area of ??these three spiritual fields. He couldn't help but said with some surprise: "The area of ??these three spiritual fields Although it¡¯s not small, as far as I know, it¡¯s still a little smaller than the area of ??the spiritual fields the two families have in Xishan Village now, right?¡±
Xu Lei said with a smile: "Although it is a little worse, the establishment of our village still cannot be separated from the help of the Yang family, not to mention that the young patriarch can give a stone spirit valley to each of the relocated Shi family. It makes no sense for us I favor one over the other, don¡¯t you?¡±
"What's more," Xu Lei suppressed the smile on his face, and his expression became more solemn: "We are still within the sphere of influence of the Yang family in Wasteland Town, and our two families can still be regarded as vassal families of the Yang family!"
Yang Junshan looked deeply at Xu LeiAfter one glance, he suddenly laughed and said, "It seems I have no reason to refuse!"
He sent Xu Lei and Li Shaoqun away, and when he came back, he saw Yang Tianlei and Han Xiusheng waiting for him.
"What, another two families are leaving?" Yang Tianlei had obviously heard the previous conversation between Yang Junshan and the two of them.
Yang Junshan nodded and said: "Sooner or later they have to leave. Instead of using means to squeeze them out of Xishan Village, it is better for everyone to get together well now and still have a favor in the future!"
Han Xiusheng spoke at the side to change the topic, saying: "Let's talk about the situation of the caravan first. I always feel that the situation in Yu County is not good now!"
Yang Junshan looked solemn and said, "Why, did the second uncle and uncle find out any bad news this time?"
Yang Tianlei said angrily: "I didn't listen to your boy's instructions and went to Jiayu County to set up a line with the powerful Ou Feng. Ou Feng was found and the deal was completed. But when he turned around, Ou Feng was found." The family rebelled, and our caravan was almost imprisoned by the Jiayu County government on charges of collaborating with the enemy. We lost all the jade coins we earned from the district family, and finally escaped. "
"The Ou family has also rebelled?"
Yang Junshan was stunned at first, and then his expression became serious.
Han Xiusheng said quickly at the side: "We can't even talk about rebellion. In short, the real monks of the Ou family had a falling out with the magistrate of Jiayu County, which made the relationship between the county government and the Ou family tense. But I heard that Jiayu County The local forces have stepped up their mediation, but our caravan just happened to catch up, and the people from the county government took the opportunity to make things difficult! "
Yang Junshan¡¯s expression softened slightly, and he glanced at his second uncle Yang Tianlei with some dissatisfaction.
Yang Tianlei was obviously not aware of it, and said loudly: "Now this business can't be done. How come it has only been a year, and everything seems to have become unstable, whether it is internal strife or external border conflicts. The Shaking Sky Sect cannot survive one day." How can this No. 1 sect in Yuzhou survive?¡±
Since last year, Chen Jizhenren took the lead in wiping out the powerful Yu family in Mengyu County with strong methods, expelling the powerful Xiong family, and single-handedly facilitated the merger of the powerful Ning family into the Shaking Sky Sect, it seemed that the three or four years of Yu County's rule had been broken all at once. Peaceful time.
First, there were provocations from the Tianlang Sect at the border, and then the Xiong family members who fled into the Kailing Sect in Yao County began to frequently harass the border in the name of revenge.
Immediately following the influence of Mengyu County's linkage, the other four counties in Yu County, except for Jinyu County where there were no powerful families, including Wang Qianzhen of Chenyu County, had to take tough measures to curb the powerful families in the county. .
However, this time it was obviously not a unified action coordinated by the Shaking Sky Sect. Each county magistrate had different priorities in suppressing local powerful people. This also gave local powerful people a chance to breathe. Some of them fled into neighboring counties in advance. Some defected to other sect forces, some mobilized the network of relationships that had been operating in the county for hundreds of years to mediate, some simply openly rebelled and stood on their own feet, and some chose to swallow their anger for the time being
But no matter what countermeasures these powerful forces take, they are secretly preparing their troops and accumulating supplies. Perhaps it is not necessarily out of rebellion, but in their view, this is more like a last ditch effort after they have cornered themselves. prepare for.
But this situation has also made the situation within the entire Yu County suddenly tense. As far as Yang Junshan knows, Chen Jizhen, who was the first to instigate the suppression of powerful forces in the territory, is now almost the target of public criticism and is under tremendous pressure. Not only Not only were there accusations from powerful people from all over the country, but there were even accusations from within the Shaking Sky Sect, which showed the chaos within the Shaking Sky Sect at this time.
However, things often go hand in hand with good fortune and misfortune. Just when the Shaking Sky Sect was still debating whether to suppress the powerful powers in each county in a short period of time, almost every border of the six counties in Yu County was attacked by neighboring sects. small-scale tentative harassment.
This time, the Shaking Sky Sect once again failed to take unified measures to deal with small-scale border conflicts in each county. Each county went its own way. In Mengyu County, Chen Jizhen, with the cooperation of Qingyi Zhenren, still fought back resolutely. In Cangwu County, Jinyu County Under the auspices of the two real people, Zhenren and Zhu Balong, they also gave a powerful counterattack to the invading enemies.
Wang Qianzhen of Chenyu County was busy with his family's affairs and had no time to take care of anything else. The Tanxi Sect even sent people directly across the border of Yuancheng Mountain and captured several good-quality mines. However, it is said that there was once a group of Tanxi Sect. The monk tried to pass through the Nanxuan Swamp to sneak attack a warehouse in Fangshi Town, Chenyu County, but ended up missing in the swamp. At that time, the Tanxi Party denied this, but the truth was unknown.
The magistrate of Jiayu County is the most indecisive among the six counties of Yu County. The powerful forces in the county have not yet been settled, and there is an invasion from the outside by the Wuyuan Sect of Lin County. He actually invited monks from the powerful District Family and Bi Family jointly resisted, and it was said that people from the Bi family were secretly communicating with the Wuyuan sect.?, he made an excuse to escape on the way, but he sent people from the county government and the district family into an ambush, and was killed and returned badly defeated.
The other counties of Siyu and Huaiyu are also suffering from internal and external troubles, and the situation is not necessarily much better than that of Chenyu and Jiayu counties.
¡°It looks like it¡¯s about to start!¡± Yang Junshan muttered to himself.
"What started?" Yang Tianlei interjected and asked.
Yang Junshan did not answer, but instead ordered: "Starting from tomorrow, the family caravan will bring enough jade coins and spirit grains, as well as the spirit ores mined from the Luoxialing mine during this period, and go out immediately to start as much as possible. Purchase all kinds of elixirs, whether they are magical elixirs or spiritual elixirs, whether they are used to assist cultivation or heal injuries, even if the price is higher, you must buy them as much as possible!"
