Chapter Seventy-Two: Deadly
He Heng came back at noon, Yuehua plucked up the courage to cook rice, the first time he cooked rice, the rice was cooked, but the pot was mushy, and the rice also had a mushy smell, but He Heng was very face-saving After eating, Yuehua felt quite shameless, as a woman, she couldn't cook, and she would make jokes when she passed it out, but living in the south couldn't always eat noodles and steamed buns, how to drag it and learn to cook rice.
As usual, He Heng led the horse, and Yuehua rode on horseback, but when he walked to a secluded road, He Heng turned over and got on the horse, Yuehua sat in front of him and sat in his arms, the sky was blue, Yuehua felt very embarrassed: "You go down, what if someone comes?" ”
"There's no one in this place, don't worry." Regardless of pulling the reins, he also took a light bite on Yuehua's ear at the end: "My ears are so soft." ”
"......" Yuehua twisted on the horse's back.
"I told you not to move." The dry-hot breath came, and Yuehua didn't dare to move again.
He smiled softly and kissed Yuehua's neck.
Yuehua saw that she was about to get on the road: "There will be a lot of people for a while, you come down." ”
"I hugged my daughter-in-law, who would dare to say." He Heng refused to go down, and only hugged Yuehua.
Yuehua was so angry that he pushed him, and a few people came over on the road, "Someone!" He Heng quickly pecked at the corner of Yuehua's mouth: "Listen to you, I'll just come down, but this is what you owe me, you have to pay me back at night!" He Heng is still restrained in the end, and he refuses to make love to Yuehua in front of people, so he will dismount when someone comes.
"you." Yuehua didn't know that he was such a scoundrel before, so she scolded angrily.
"Don't be angry, lady."
He Heng always has a kind of ability, he played a scoundrel for you a moment ago, and when it comes to business, he immediately becomes serious: "There are some things I have to tell you before I go." His face became stern, as if he was not the same as the Lai Pi just now: "Our Zhuangzi is in the river valley, not far from here, but there is a section of road in the middle that is not easy to walk, and it is inconvenient for you to go back and forth."
There are more than 50 acres of paddy fields, which can grow grain, and about 20 acres of mountainous land, which cannot grow grain, but you can grow vegetables and bud rice.
The rule I set for the tenants is that according to the general rules, when the rice is harvested, the tenants get half of it, we get half of it, and they take care of the taxes, but when the year is not good, the rice harvest is not so much, and it is not good for five or five points, so we get one-third or one-quarter, according to the specific year.
How to dispose of the mountains is handed over to the tenants, and the trees and prey on the mountains are also handed over to them, we don't care, but there is one point, every month's vegetables, melons and fruits, chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep must be sent on time and in quantity, and the dried cured vegetables for the New Year can not be less, and the rent of five taels of silver will be charged.
Let's be light, they are appropriate, and it is convenient for two times.
I'll tell you all these things, don't go there, your eyes are dark. ”
Yuehua was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, Yuehua was born poor and white, and she had never stayed in a farmhouse, and she also knew what it was like to buy bud rice, and she didn't know what it was like to grow in the ground.
He Heng is obviously from a family, and these things are also the first to say.
There is a kind of people! has a tenacity on his body, can enjoy wealth in a high position, take off his brocade clothes, he can also be like a fish in water, he looks very peaceful, but it seems that everything is under his control, He Heng is this kind of person.
"Didn't you say that the only land that was distributed to the military households was four hectares! Why did this change to more than 70 acres of land? ”
He laughed, regained his lazy appearance just now, and turned back to play with Yuehua: "Isn't this because I can do it!" It is not stolen and robbed, but earned by military merit. ”
Yuehua only then knew that this time the field was divided, according to the grade, more like He Heng has more than 70 acres of land, and there are also old houses that can be divided into hundreds of acres, most of the ordinary sergeants have more than a dozen acres of land, and the quality of the fields is not the same, this is a reward and punishment mechanism in the army, there are more military merits, and those without military merits take less, and at the same time, the army has taken out tens of thousands of acres to distribute additional to ordinary sergeants who have military merits and have not been promoted for the time being as a reward, to appease the dissatisfaction of the sergeants below who have less land.
It's like letting a donkey work and have to feed the grass, and the donkey sees the grass in front of him, and there is a lot of grass not far away, working desperately.
Moreover, there is only so much land, if it is divided equally, if one person has 40 acres of land, how many people, how many acres of land is clear, 10,000 people will have to divide 400,000 acres of land, and the sergeants below cannot divide more, and the army cannot rely on the subordinates.
This kind of method of dividing land according to military merits, the land issued by individuals is different, more like the older generation of the army can divide 1,200 acres, and the few have more than a dozen acres, ordinary military personnel do not know the exact amount of land at all, and only watch others take more and take less themselves.
At the same time, the most stable way to resolve the contradiction is to divert attention, seeing that you are less than your peers, you are either jealous of the people above your peers, or you think that you are not good enough, the most effective way to occupy a part of the people is to transfer a part of the interests of the encroachment to another part of the people, those who have gained more land of the upper officers and ordinary sergeants will confront that part of the sergeants in order to protect their own interests, so that no one will point the finger at the army.
In this way, the contradiction was transferred, and they did not know, but after calculation, each person was less than half of the forty acres on average, and only the army knew how much land there was.
This also solves the problem of insufficient actual land, and alleviates the contradiction caused by insufficient land, and I don't know who came up with this method.
Yuehua always thought that she had to work in the field when she arrived at the border, and she had to learn to dig the soil if she didn't know how to farm.
Maybe she got married, and she regarded He Heng as her own, but seeing the wound under He Heng's shoulder, as well as more than a dozen small wounds on her body, she felt that military merit was really exchanged for life, first of all, she also had to live, so many places, I don't know how many people I exchanged my life with, but I was not so happy, I didn't speak for a while, and after a while: "It's good, it's good, it's ...... Don't be too careful, I'm not going to be a widow at a young age. ”
At an awkward age, girls sometimes care about it, but they don't want to say soft words to comfort people.
He Heng originally thought that Yuehua would be happy to hear that she had so much land, but her face did not have much joy, but looked at him with pity.
In the past, when he was rich, everything came too easily, and the women around him were all 'gentle' beauties in the water, and he had seen a lot of things clearly in the past few years, and he felt that this daughter-in-law had found the right one, and this was a person who really loved him.
"Don't worry, I have to save my life for you!"
"What do I want your life for!? Bah! ”
"You almost killed me last night, and you said you didn't want my life." He whispered, and deliberately lengthened the tone at the end of the conversation,
"You ......" Yuehua blushed to the base of her neck.
He Heng's field is in the most fertile area of the river valley, and when he arrived at Zhuangzi, a couple greeted him, the two obviously knew that Yuehua and the two of them were coming, and they were all dressed neatly, the man was wearing a white cardigan short gown, and the bottom was a pair of fat leg pants, with a belt tied around his feet and neck, and a sweaty towel tied around his waist that hung down to his thighs, his bald head was wrapped in a white cloth turban, and he was wearing straw sandals on his feet, and the woman was wearing a blue cloth placket short gown, and she was not wearing a skirt underneath, a pair of navy blue trousers, and a pair of black square shoes. A black embroidered apron was wrapped around his waist, and his hair was also wrapped in a turban, revealing a very long peacock silver hairpin, which seemed to be from the mountains.
The man and woman humbly welcomed Yuehua and them in: "This year's rape has been planted, the rain is good, there is no disaster, and next year it can produce 200 catties of oil." He Heng regained his previous indifferent appearance, and only nodded slightly.
"This is my wife, in the future, the affairs of Zhuangzi will be handed over to her to take care of, what do you tell her, she can't adjudicate, ask me again." He was born in a family, how to play a scoundrel with Yuehua behind his back, and he still respects Yuehua as a guest in front of people: "In the future, I will have to bother Mrs. if I don't understand something, just ask me, only one point, I only have an idea, and Mrs. is in charge." ”
Yuehua knew that he was saying this in front of the tenants to give her power and face, and to establish prestige: "The affairs of the family, let you worry about it, it's not mine, leave it to me!" Yuehua turned to the tenant and said, "I just came, and I bother you to tell me everything about the Zhuangzi, so that I can have a score." ”
"It's natural, but it's not good to say. Mrs. Laborer went with me to the fields. ”
"It's nature."
