Chapter 45: It must be the Cai family

Food is the root of life. Once it is burned, it means there is no food to eat in the next six months. That's fine, there is no food to fish, just wait for a season.

But what should I do if I rent a large household? What should I do if I pay tribute to Feisha Village? What should I do if the official grain tax? No one knows what the result will be, and no one wants to bear the result.

The people are numerous and the power is great. With the efforts of most people in the town, the fire is quickly extinguished.

After seeing the fire fields, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others burst into tears.

In the crowd, Fang Chen's brows were frowning tightly, and Huang Wei and Zhou Qiang beside him were also frighteningly pale. If there was a firelight coming, he would think he was a ghost.

"How could this be?" Fang Chen thought hard, but was very surprised.

He had thought about the various methods of the Cai family and even directly destroyed the Weihai Gang by force, but he never thought about setting fire to the fire. In fact, it was not that he had never thought about it, but that he was rejected just after he had this idea.

Because no matter which dynasty or dynasty, destroying grain is a serious crime. In the previous life, Cao Cao, the treacherous hero, cut his hair and replaced his head. Looking at the ancient war period, in addition to the necessary strategic plans, wars rarely start in spring and autumn harvest. Even if it is Beifeng, the grass valley will come again after the autumn harvest.

During the Taiping period, farmers were exempted from labor service by spring sowing and autumn harvest. However, if those who privately demand labor service, even those who are powerful and noble will be severely punished once they are exposed.

The so-called people regard food as the most important thing, and food is the lifeline that no country or warlords do not lack.

Especially in this era when productivity was low and there was no hybrid rice, food was tight. In ancient times, there were many laws that "those who brewed wine with food will be executed." This shows the tension in food.

Although this world has a per mu output capacity of 500 kilograms, it seems that there are many ripenesses in the south a year. But don’t forget that this is a world where martial arts are prosperous. People who practice martial arts eat a huge amount. Just the huge army of warriors in the court, the food consumed in a year is astronomical, not to mention the consumption of major sects, forces, and folk warriors.

Let me put it this way, the term "country" is a modern name. In ancient times, they were called "jiangshan and society". "jiangshan" can be understood at a glance, but what is "society"? "society" means land, and "ji" means food.

Land and food are almost synonymous with the country, and the fundamental of a country.

Therefore, even though Fang Chen was not clear about the laws of the Taikang Dynasty, he never thought that the Cai family would burn grain.

The reason is very simple. If you have a grudge, burn the grain. I will burn yours today and you will burn mine tomorrow. Well, everyone will starve to death in the end, and the Taikang Dynasty will be over.

As a ruler, as long as you are not a fool, you will never allow such things to happen.

That's why it's very surprising!

What's more, the Cai family is so crazy that they think that the Weihai Gang can't afford to pay the money? This is not a big deal. Even if they don't burn grain, they still don't pay the money. The Cai family will show their appearance just by pushing them a little. Even if they really have to afford it, they can keep it the same and can still calculate slowly in the future.

There is no need to use such intense means at all. How could this be the Weihai Gang be driven away? It is obvious that they are dying together!

No, if the Weihai Gang can catch fish, it may not be dead, but his Cai family is absolutely dead!

At this time, Huang Wei leaned over and gritted his teeth and said, "Gangmaster, it must be no accident. Our beach is very wet at night, and even if there is a small fire, it is difficult to burn it. Someone must have set fire!"

Zhou Qiang did not speak, but stared at the Cai family in the distance, hoping to eat them.

Fang Chen was stunned, suddenly shook all his thoughts and laughed.

Yes! The food is cooked by the Cai family, and it must be cooked by the Cai family!

After his heart was clear, he curled his lips and said, "Go, go back, gather everyone below, the faster the better!" After that, he turned around and left.

Huang Wei and the others looked at each other and immediately went to recruit staff from each hall separately.

Half an hour later, a large group of people gathered together in the front yard of the Weihai Gang General Hall. Not only the original forty gang members, but also the newly joined gang thirteen Fang Xing were all listed.

Fang Chen stood at the high-level in front of the hall, looking down at the person below, and said, "I believe everyone already knows that the fire broke out in the field, and the grain that was about to be harvested was burned. The burning place was not big, but unfortunately, my Weihai Gang's 120 acres of land was within the range of the fire."

‘Wow’

The slut was originally a domineering person. Fang Chen immediately started clamoring.

"Gangmaster, how could it be such a coincidence? Someone must have set fire."

"Yes, just burn other people's land. Damn it, even the Weihai Gang's land is so tired of living!"

"Don't let me know who it is, otherwise I must kill him."

The bastards didn't think much, they only knew that the food was burned, and the loss was their interests, which meant that they would probably continue to eat fish in the future.

Although the gang bought a lot of food, where is the food enough? As for whether the gang leader still has money to buy after eating, and whether he is willing to buy it with his own money, there is no count.

For a large number of them, staying in the decaying Weihai Gang is just to eat food. Who can stay without food? They have learned how to catch fish. If they leave, they will save even the share handed over to the gang.

It was almost impossible to get over it, and the new food was gone, so how could they bear it?

Fang Chen looked coldly and glanced at Fang Xing from time to time. None of the newcomers spoke, but except Fang Xing, the others were a little confused.

They joined the gang for a while and didn't know much about the situation in the gang. They only knew that the Weihai gang had land and food, and the gang leader had the ability. They could live better than before with him, but now they were confused about the future.

After the sound below became quiet, Fang Chen continued to speak: "I don't know if it was an accident. I only know that after the grain was burned, the debt owed to the Cai family would not be paid. If the Cai family came to the door, they could only use the fields to pay. This means that there are only two roads left in front of us. One is to pay the fields to the Cai family. In the future, we will have no source of grain and rice, and we can only make a living by fishing."

"What?"

The gangsters were shocked and exploded again. They naturally knew about this, but they never expected it. Now Fang Chen's words reminded them that the burning of the grain is not a problem of having another season, but it is likely that there will be no more in the future.

"Gangmaster, how can you do it? What should we eat for the Cai family?"

"That's it! Gangmaster, didn't he have been twice when Huang Gangmaster was in power before, but he would have paid some first as before."

"Yes, let's talk to the Cai family, at most, you can give them half of it."

Fang Chen stared at the guy who said halfway and sneered: "Idiot, do you think the Cai family is short of this little grain and dozens of acres of land? What they want is not land, but that we have no food to eat, and we want our Weihai Gang to disband!"
