The three of them were tired for a day, and after eating dinner and bathing, they washed away their exhaustion, and only then did they feel tired and sore. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'll help you pinch, or you'll be uncomfortable tomorrow. ”

"Shall we go back tomorrow?" Qiao Lan lay on the kang and enjoyed the massage given by Chuanhu, squinting her eyes comfortably.

"No, I'm going to wait for the reply from the government office, and I won't come back tomorrow, so you can rest too. ”

"Okay, the adults value you very much, I always let you send official documents, doesn't he have anyone around him who believes in it?" Qiao Lan squinted her eyes and enjoyed it, she was very happy to have fun today, a little excited, and didn't forget to ask questions.

"Yes, the division of labor is different, I am smart and stronger than them, and I don't belong to cheap service, I am a farmer, I have served in the military, I am a fast catcher is conditional, I go to the household registration and still belong to the farmer, in addition, I went to the adults to see that my hands and feet are really good and can be used on the battlefield, he lacks effective manpower, so he left me, I put forward a condition with him, exempt two people from military service, which means that my Liu family can say that there will be two fewer boys to serve in the military in the future, and there is no need to go. There is one left, and the money will be waived in the future. ”

Chuanhu pursed his lips and smiled and told him a secret of his private negotiations with adults.

Qiao Lan opened her eyes, "Huh, that's okay?"

"Of course you can, the fast catch was originally a temporary recruitment, and the farmers also had to serve in the military, and the fast catch is one of them, which is quite popular, because no matter how tired it is, it is much stronger than going to the battlefield, and usually you see that I have nothing dangerous, that is, patrolling the streets, the people generally dare not provoke us, and it is enough to meet good adult rules, and we can still fish the people when we meet corrupt officials, but it is majestic." However, the general manpower is not enough, so many county officials will not change the place of origin of the peasant households casually, just accept them to work, and it is very troublesome to change them, so many people who catch fast are farmers, and they have not changed their lowly labor, and their children and grandchildren can still study and become officials, and it will not affect anything, and adults will not bear any responsibility for this, in fact, this management is not strict, and the restrictions are different in each place. Anyway, I am still a farmer and it will not affect future generations, so I said yes at the beginning, otherwise my father would not let me do it. ”

Chuanhu said with a smile.

"So that's the case, I thought it would affect the children and grandchildren, so won't the adults be blamed?" Qiao Lan asked curiously.

"No, some of the quotas belong to farmers, not all of them are lowly, this is allowed, it is within the scope of their rights, and there is no need to ask for instructions. Chuanhu continued to knead and massage Qiaolan to relax her muscles and bones.

"Oh, there are so many more ways. ”

"There's a lot of things, I don't know if I don't do it in it, it's better to always guard the house, not to mention that I can also face the pain of my two younger brothers who will serve in the military in the future, I can't really come back, in fact, the money to catch fast is not much at all, only fifteen taels of silver a year, this is also because I took two taels more than the head, my money is mostly earned from business, if it weren't for the fact that I can help my younger brothers get rid of the disaster of military service, I will go to the dart game to play, and I can earn more than this by doing anything. Chuanhu smiled.

"It's only fifteen taels a year, hey, hey! Qiao Lan sneered and was immediately happy.

"But we have other income, if we encounter a case to catch a thief, if there is money, we can take a percent, this is the rule, just like the emperor sent someone to raid the house will also allow the people below to take a little, if the special case shows that all the cases are brought to justice, then none of us will move, there are all things to pay attention to. In addition, the merchants of the store will give us a little filial piety on a regular basis, especially if I can say a few words in front of adults, they will beat us, because they are not qualified to meet adults at all. These are all the money given to us, and I will share it with my brothers below, so there is still a little silver all year round, although it is not much, but for ordinary peasant families, it is also a considerable income, and even the rations of the last person can be used a lot. ”

"Isn't it an adult?"

"Adults have a clearer future, they don't look down on these few silvers, they don't touch it at all, they all give us a share, people are ambitious and have a promising future, where can we see these money! As long as we don't go too far, the people below will keep to themselves, he won't get along with us. So these merchants can't talk to the county master, so they only come to talk to us, hoping to say a few words to the adults, or have a meal, but they don't have a chance. Adults pass on the word through us, they only have to do it, although businessmen are rich but their status is very low, especially in front of the official family is nothing, they want to find a backer the most, if you want to make a lot of money, you must find a backer, otherwise it is easy to kill you. Chuanhu explained the root cause in detail.

"It turns out that there are so many doorways in this officialdom, everyone has to abide by this rule, right, you can be different from the dirty, but you have to abide by the rules and can't break the rules, right?" Qiao Lan pondered for a while and said with some understanding.

"That's right, that's what happened, like my lord, he never takes other people's silver and expensive gifts, but he will not stop us from getting rich, we will also obey him, never make trouble for him, carry out his orders, and do things with one heart. He will give us convenience if he can give us convenience, and it will not affect each other, and everyone will cooperate happily. Even an official needs the cooperation of his subordinates, no, he can't fight against everyone alone, why bother with us little people about inconspicuous little things. Chuanhu said something about the other side of officialdom.

"I see, it seems that the adult is really from a family, and he understands the mystery very well, I'm afraid the Hanmen won't understand the doorway so quickly. ”

"That's exactly the case, or how to say that only three generations of officials know how to eat and wear, this is also a saying. ”

"Well, really, almost, you can sleep too. Qiao Lan was a little drowsy.

"Well, don't get up so early tomorrow morning, rest. Chuanhu leaned on her and lay down and explained.

"Hmm. ”

The next day, Chuanhu got up as if nothing happened, and went to see how the newly bought flower seedlings were doing, and found some work in the yard.

Qiaolan and Lingyu both got up late, they were really tired, they overslept in one breath, and when they got up, everyone had breakfast, which made the two of them very embarrassed.

"Madam, what do you eat, there are preserved eggs and lean pork porridge, fresh meat I bought early in the morning, as well as steamed buns and soy milk, I grind it myself, you can eat whatever you want. "Sister-in-law Zheng is very neat, she works very well, and she loves to be clean, so she came to clean up the kitchen inside and out.

"I drink soy milk and eat steamed buns, eat less and eat lunch for a while. Qiao Lan yawned, but she was still a little sore, and she didn't slow down.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, what are you eating. ”

"I'll eat porridge and aunt, I'll come by myself, you don't care, I'll serve Miss, you can be busy with yours." Lingyu washed her face and ran over and took the job.

"Cheng, I'm going to set up a shelf in the vegetable field, and you call me if you have something. Sister-in-law Zheng helped Uncle Zheng to build a shelf for cucumbers and beans in the vegetable field.

"You're busy. Lingyu saw that Qiaolan had left Sister-in-law Zheng and his wife, and her attitude became polite and respectful.
