Chapter 162: The World
"Daddy, come in, look at your snowstorm, it's the middle of the night, what do you say you're going to do in the field." A plainly dressed woman dragged this middle-aged man in, complaining and sweeping the snow for him.
"What do you mother-in-law know, all the food grown in this field is your own food, can I rest assured if I don't go to see it? In case it is ruined by a passing rabbit, I can't feel distressed to death. The middle-aged man said with an expression that you don't understand.
"Yes, yes, what you said is the master." The woman echoed, and did not argue with him, but turned around and brought a bowl of ginger soup from the stove, "Drink it while it's hot, go and get rid of the cold." ”
Xili snorted, the man drank ginger soup in a big gulp, and the woman watched from the side, and suddenly, she asked with a slight doubt between her eyebrows, "Master, why do you say that this Huangzhuang is so good that we are exempted from rent?" In the past, I couldn't wait to collect all the grain we planted. ”
"Mother~Mother~ I know this, I know, Da Zhuang They all said that the new emperor is the emperor of Ziwei in the sky, who came to save the people of the Ming Dynasty, and is the Ming monarch who comes out once in five hundred years, so they are free of rent for our family." A half-sized boy next to him came out to show off.
"The emperor descended to earth, that is an immortal in the sky, or once in five hundred years, no wonder we are exempted from rent, merciful!" Madame looked suddenly enlightened.
"You know the!" The man laughed and scolded, and then said what he heard, "What Ziwei Emperor, that is the purple qi coming from the east, it is a sign of the birth of a saint, the emperor is a saint, is it a saint, is this saint, is it ....... is ......" The man scratched his head, and he didn't know what the saint was for a while, I usually heard people say that Confucius was a saint, and everyone who read worshiped him, but when the emperor was also a saint, what should the emperor do? Do you also care about reading?
"It's to take everyone to live a good life, so the emperor exempted us from rent." Looking at the eyes of his wife and children looking forward to explanation, the man stiffened his head and made up a reason to say.
"Oh, I see, the Holy Monarch is just going to lead us to a good life! You are really knowledgeable, you know this. The woman's look of worship made the man very useful.
"Then the master, what does the housekeeper mean by the family package that the housekeeper said before?" Immediately afterwards, the woman asked another question, Xu was happy to see the head of the house today, and all the words she usually held back poured out.
"What is the contract, it is the household contract responsibility system, which means that the land in Huangzhuang will be distributed to our tenants, and each household will be distributed according to the population." The man had an expression that you don't know and don't talk nonsense, but his heart quietly wiped a sweat, fortunately, the steward told them the meaning of the word carefully, otherwise he would be blind, how could he show off in front of his daughter-in-law.
"Yikes! Is this to give us the field? The woman cried out in surprise.
"Divide the fart, this field is still owned by the emperor, but the emperor gives us planting, and does not charge us rent." The man glanced at his daughter-in-law, don't talk nonsense if you don't know.
"But...... Tian is still the emperor's, what if the emperor doesn't want us to plant one day? When the woman came to her senses, she had a sad face, and the emperor did not have such a good owner everywhere.
Hearing this question, the man did not answer immediately, but looked around as if he was a thief, and then lowered his voice and said, "Have you forgotten our eldest son, this will just be recruited into the Yulin Army?" ”
"Oh, why don't we forget the big baby, they are all people around the emperor, as long as you say a few words to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not drive us away, let's ......." Before the woman finished speaking, she felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, and when she looked up, the head of the house stared at her with a pair of bull's eyes, panting and looking at her.
"What's wrong?" The woman asked timidly.
Looking at his daughter-in-law's stupid appearance, the man hated that iron could not become steel, "I said that you also grew up under the feet of the Son of Heaven, why are you so stupid and can't see through?" ”
"See through what, the master, don't hide it." The woman still looked confused.
"Look at you...... Hey, forget it, I'll tell you. The man lowered his voice, "Do you know that the guard office of Beizhili has been abolished recently!" ”
"I know, we have been arranged to come to several dismantled guards, and I heard that they will put this kind of land in the future." The woman quickly interjected again.
"Ho...... I said, can you stop interjecting? The man said with a glare.
"Yes, mother, don't say it, I still have to listen to my father's story!" The half-grown boy next to him was not happy for the old lady to interject.
"Hey, you two...... Forget it, I won't talk about it, you can say it quickly. ”
"I'll tell you two directly, the emperor is stabilizing the morale of the army." The man didn't pause, as if he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would interject, and said without stopping, "It's hard to be in the guard, but there is still a little bit of land, plus working for the old man, life is okay." As soon as the emperor came up, he removed them, can they have no opinion? ”
"But if at this time there is a piece of land that does not belong to you, but does not charge you rent, and has been planted for you, will you be happy? Do you still have any opinions in mind? ”
"It should ...... No comment. The woman thought about it in her heart, and found that no matter how much she compared, she would have a better life after the cut.
"That's right, this is why the emperor is rent-free first, with our precedent, won't the removal of the guard office in the back be very smooth. That's a great move. After the man finished speaking, he smashed his mouth, as if he was reminiscing about the emperor's superb methods.
"Moreover, the army that helped the emperor ascend the throne, there are many people in the Yulin army who are the children of tenants of the Huangzhuang. For example, our family, which used to be a tenant of the Guogong family, has suddenly become a tenant of the Huangzhuang. And our eldest child should also be recruited into the Yulin Army, and the emperor is rent-free, so it is a stable person like our family who has a son in the Yulin Army. After the man finished reminiscing, he seemed to have heard something again, and showed off again.
"So, don't worry, the emperor won't drive us away, this rent-free land, we can keep planting."
"It's a !!" The complicated calculation made the woman dizzy for a while, but she also grew up at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and this point was still easy to understand.
"No, in charge." The woman suddenly became suspicious.
"What's wrong, I didn't say anything wrong." The man was a little confused by his daughter-in-law's expression, and secretly calculated his own words, yes, that's what Brother Li told me.
"That's right, but the person who spoke is wrong, the master, you tell me honestly, who did you hear these words from, you don't have the ability to think so clearly." The woman looked like I knew you very well, and pressed for the truth.
"Hehe, daughter-in-law, why didn't I think about it myself." The man was a little sneering.
The woman didn't speak, just looked at him, and my eyes that knew everything gave the man a lot of pressure, and finally he couldn't hold on, so he had to admit, "It was Brother Li who said it, and I was as worried about this problem as you that day, and that's how Brother Li explained it to me." ”
"Brother Li? Which Brother Li. The woman thought about it for a moment, and realized a little, "Is that the family that moved here some time ago when the guard was abolished?" ”
"Hmm. I'll tell you a secret secret, the eldest son of Brother Li's family is the same as our eldest baby, and he is also in the emperor's Yulin Army, but he entered much earlier than our eldest baby, and he entered it when the Yulin Army was first established five years ago. The man whispered another secret.
"What's his big baby's name?" The woman asked curiously.
"Lee fishing."
