Chapter 47 Exploitation of the public for personal gain

Dai Shuanglin's eyes were shining and waiting for Gu Xiaomin's answer, and her eyes were full of vigor and told Gu Xiaomin that she had already determined the truth of the matter.

Smiling slightly, Gu Xiaomin raised his eyebrows and looked back.

In the end, the foundation is good, and after only a few days, the complexion is already uniformly wheat-colored, instead of the original rough and dark, huh? It's also pleasing to the eye when it's dark.

"Did you really say that? That's right......" Dai Shuanglin slapped her hands and relaxed.

If it weren't for her father Dai Xiangen, how could she enter the eyes of the county adults, although Dai Xiangen's other conditions were barely okay, there was one thing that couldn't be made up anyway, that is, Dai Xiangen didn't know a single big character.

"Don't worry, the county lord is cautious, and it must have been decided after careful consideration" Although Gu Xiaomin didn't say anything that day, his eyes looked at the Dai family from time to time, how could someone who didn't even let go of such a subtle move make a hasty choice.

It may be that the Dai family is in it, in fact, the Dai family has many advantages, such as a small family property to eat and drink, the stone dome and carving skills at home are to raise a side of the people, Dai Xiangen is still the only talent in Puyang Town, the future Taishan Lord, so character, prestige, background, it is logical to be the pavilion chief

As for Dai Shuanglin's worry that he couldn't read a single big character, Gu Xiaomin took the dark little hand for public and private purposes, and gently wrote the word "Xian" on the palm of his hand.

Holding back the strangeness in his heart, watching his fair-skinned and slender fingers roaming back and forth in his palm, Dai Shuanglin's face burned unconsciously, but fortunately, his complexion was still dark.

Sun led Dai Shuanglin Meizizi home, and after dinner, he told the family the good news, Dai Shuanghong and Brother Xian both happily congratulated Dai Xiangen, but Dai Xiangen was not happy with a sad face.

"Dad, don't worry, I've been teaching Brother Xian to read, and I'll let Brother Xian follow you in the future, and you yourself will learn more on weekdays" Dai Shuanglin knew that Dai Xiangen was worried about more than this, but it was better to solve it a little bit.

"This ...... Can it be done? ”

Dai Xiangen's face was overjoyed, thinking that he would have to learn to read and write when he was old, the joy on his face suddenly turned sad, and he didn't trust Sister Lin's idea of holding on to Buddha too much.

After hearing this, Sun also said to Dai Shuanglin with some doubts: "You only know a few words, what can you teach Brother Xian to know?" ”

"Hmph...... Let's underestimate people. Dai Shuanglin "snapped" and put the three-character scripture borrowed from Gu Xiaomin on the kang table, casually turned a page and read it, and when he met someone he didn't know, Dai Shuanglin was vaguely confused.

After reading it, Dai Shuanglin couldn't help but sweat profusely, God, she couldn't recognize all the three characters?

However, Dai Shuanglin's half-bottle of swaying water has greatly exceeded the expectations of the Dai family.

Dai Xiangen omitted with a sad face, Dai Shuanghong and Brother Xian looked at Dai Shuanglin adoringly, and Sun was even more happy to hug Dai Shuanglin and shouted, "Ouch, how can my mother's Sister Lin be so capable!" ”

Dai Shuanglin didn't dare to answer, so when she taught Dai Xiangen and Brother Xian the next day, she silently circled the words that she couldn't remember, and prepared to take them to ask Gu Xiaomin another day.

It's just that she asked Cangtian speechlessly, the brothers after the crossing are extremely smart, not to mention the test for two or three years, even if the test is easy, and her brother is very hard but can only barely recognize the words.

On September 23, the official document of the county government was officially sent to Dai's house.

The news spread, distant relatives and neighbors all came to congratulate them, Dai Xianzhi and Dai Xianlan, who were scolded by Dai Xiangen last time and did not dare to come to the door, also came with baskets again, and even Sun's mother-in-law Zhong was pulled by Jiao's twice, and it was impossible for Zhong to shake his face in Sun's family, so down like this, the Dai family and various relatives slowly moved around again.

Things seem to be laughing and hating, but how can feelings be so simple?

After two years of difficult times, in the hearts of Sun and Dai Xiangen, these relatives have already separated from each other, but after the Sun family put together the gifts they received recently, they packed up two baskets of things separately, which the Sun family wanted to give to his sister Sun Xiaoxiang and eldest sister Dai Xianying, as for the other people, they just had a good face.

The Dai family is looking forward to the autumn harvest in the joyful door.

At the beginning of the summer, when the wheat was harvested, the Dai family except Dai Xiangen all went out to deal with the three points of land, and now the three points of land add a full 55 acres of millet and sorghum land, Sun discussed with Dai Xiangen to call Ge Dongyong and let him come forward to lead the short-term work, and the wages were still converted into rice grain according to the algorithm when hoeing and fertilizing the grass in the front, everyone knows that the Dai family has exhausted their savings in the past two years, and it is the best of both worlds to use the newly harvested rice grain as wages.

"This year's true evil sect...... In previous years, as long as it is not a disaster year, food can be cheap at this time! Thinking about it this way, the Dai family said that they would pay the big guys according to the grain prices of previous years, which was really kind.

A thin black man nodded and sighed: "No, in August, it actually began to get cheaper, at that time, I just thought that it would be cheaper, and now I think about it, it is better to buy more at that time, hey!" ”

Everyone talks about the price of grain, and the more they talk about it, the heavier their mood becomes, everyone knows that the price of grain is getting more and more expensive, but how many families have the ability to hoard grain? It's not easy to feed your stomach, but it's easier said than done.

"At this glance, Ge Dongyong's kid is the most blessed, hey, who would have thought that Pavilion Chief Li would fall after hula, if you know......" Someone saw Ge Dongyong get up and walk towards the Dai family sisters and brothers who were waiting in the distance, and said with a rather unpleasant feeling.

"Pull it down, it's hard to buy if you have money, you know it early...... "Hmph, if you know, the eldest girl still has to wait until she is fifteen years old to get married? Who doesn't know from Puyang Town now that Dai Xiangen and the Sun family prepared a dowry of five acres of land for the eldest girl, which is five acres of land!

The scene was quiet for a while, worried about food and clothing in front of the piles of grain, that is, these people.

Dai Shuanglin stood in front of two large buckets of boiled water, and when Ge Dongyong came over, he handed the water scoop over and said, "Brother Ge drank it first and then brought it over......

Ge Dongyong was also really thirsty, so he poured a big scoop of cold water, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile: "Then I'll bring it to them, you two go back quickly, don't let you ...... Your eldest sister is worried about ...... at home."

Ouch, why does such a big man stutter at the mention of her sister?

And on the day of settling wages, Dai Xiangen took out the ghost drawing talisman that Sun had made, and began to distribute food, even if they knew that Dai Shuanglin could write, the two were still used to using their own ghost drawing talisman.

"The big guys have heard about it, right? This season's grain tax is still collected as in July, so don't sell these grains when you take them back, so that when the county comes down to collect grain, you will be blind" Dai Xiangen first greeted the big guy before distributing the grain, this is an order passed down from above, he is the pavilion chief only to obey orders, and all he can do is to give one more order.

"Dai Tingchang ......" When the grain was halfway through, a servant came on horseback, and when he saw that Dai Xiangen was busy with his work, he dismounted and said hello.

Dai Xiangen, the new grassroots official, would feel stunned when he saw the officials, so he got up and gave up his seat.

The official didn't dare to sit down, took out the official document from his backpack and handed it to Dai Xiangen, drank the boiled water handed over by Sun, put down the big porcelain bowl and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I have to continue to go to Qiyang Town to deliver the official document and not sit...... I'll be nagging ...... another day."

"Okay...... When the time comes, my sister-in-law will make dumplings for you to eat......" Sun said and stuffed a few pieces of hair cake into the bag of the little servant, and said with a smile: "Don't dislike it, this is to make the new millet hair, you take it on the road to satisfy your hunger." ”

"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law", the little official was very happy, it happened that this time the official document was urgent, and he didn't have time to bring food.

As soon as the little servant left, everyone suddenly rushed up, all curious about what kind of official document Dai Xiangen was holding in his hand, but Dai Xiangen only recognized the word "notice" on it when he opened it himself, and the others were words that knew him, and he didn't know the other party.

And Dai Shuanglin, who was standing behind Dai Xiangen, saw the official document clearly and conscripted ......
