Fee Chapter (12 points)

Lian Man'er asked Zhang if he knew how much Lian Shouren's family had spent in the town for a year.

This topic is even more difficult.

"Your uncle has no rice, and he only has a dozen taels of silver a year to teach, which is still a good time, and the library is not always found, as far as I remember, there are four or five years without a library. There are pavilions in other villages, but he refuses to go, because the money given is small and the countryside is inconvenient. He also suspected that the accommodation given by the family was too cramped and he was not used to eating, so he took a large family with him, so he rented a courtyard in the town, and the rent for a year was six taels of silver. Your lobby brother follows your uncle to study, and he doesn't make money. ”

"If that's the case, isn't the life of the uncle's family supposed to be tight, don't skip words.

Lian Man'er was taken aback. According to this kind of income, Lian Jia Da Chapter 41 Lian Man'er lives in the town, but I am afraid that I can only ask for food and clothing, and I have to live according to the level of such a thrift of the Lian family.

"The grain that our family threshes every year on 30 acres of land, in addition to leaving it for the family to eat, as well as paying taxes, the rest will be sent to the town to your uncle according to the four seasons." Zhang said to Lian Man'er.

This means that Lian Shouren is actually unable to make ends meet, and to be able to maintain such a life, it is completely because the Lian family is frugal and supports them.

Lian Man'er asked Zhang a few more questions, and began to calculate the account in her heart.

According to the current 30 acres of land of the Lian family, because the old man Lian is diligent and capable, and he is a good crop, the harvest in the field is better than the average harvest. According to the annual output of 300 catties of sorghum per mu, 30 mu of land is 9,000 catties. The whole family of nineteen people, the adult male counting Lianjia Dalang and Erlang, is seven, even the family's life is thrifty, every day is mostly scarce and half dry, Zhou's look at it tightly, almost is the rationing system, according to the average of six taels of grain per person per day, a year to eat 4,161 catties of grain, plus the melons and vegetables produced in the vegetable garden, is the family throughout the year.

Chapter 41 Lian Man'er reckoned with the accounts Now the taxes in the Ming Dynasty are not heavy, and the fields of the Lian family are counted as middle and upper-class fields. After conversion, to put it simply, it is about 250 catties per mu and a tax of five percentage points is charged. In this way, 30 acres of land will be taxed and about 375 catties of grain.

In this way, more than half of the grain surplus remains.

Even if it was half of the grain sent to the town, part of it was rations for Lian Shouren's family, and the rest was sold for money.

"The uncle's family, even if Niuniu, who is less than two years old, is a family of seven, according to the ration of six taels per person per day, they have to eat more than 1,500 catties of grain a year, and there are still 3,000 catties of grain left, according to the average price of sorghum, five cents per catty, and there is a surplus of fifteen taels of silver." Lian Man'er asked Zhang's, "Then this fifteen taels, did the uncle pay it, and did the uncle give the money to the grandmother?" ”

"Over the years, I haven't seen them take money from their families." Zhang said, otherwise the life at home is so tight. "Oh, they have also taken the money back a few times, just like this time they are going to give out wedding flowers, not to take the money, and the same is true of your stepbrother's marriage that time." As a result, you will have to take several times as much. I don't have the money to do it, so I sell the land. As a result, the Lian family now has only 30 acres of land left.

"We give him our annual income, and he doesn't take it back at all?"

"You bought it for your grandmother and your aunt on your uncle's New Year's Day, just like today." Zhang's Road.

"It's not that the wool comes out of the sheep," Lian Man'er muttered to herself.

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, the money for the gift is also earned by our family. I usually can't bear to have one or two shochus, but today a jar of pears is white, and I am happy to be like that, but in fact, it is still the money spent in the public. Lian Man'er said.

Zhang was stunned for a moment. This truth is very simple, she hasn't thought about it, but it's all vague and hasn't studied it deeply.

"Your uncle is a talent, and it is common sense that life is better." Zhang said, like most rural people, Zhang has respect for scholars, and always feels that scholars should be blesser than their farming, and live a better life. "But, hey......"

Zhang was a little speechless and stopped.

"Mother, just say what you have to say, there are no outsiders here."

"Okay. …… According to me, your uncle's family is too bad to live. Just say that the house, renting a few houses is enough to live, but they feel that they live aggrieved, and say that it is inconvenient, so they rent a yard. Once I passed by and saw it, was it two or three? There are less than twenty or thirty houses. Your aunt said that it was going to be divided into front yard and inner house, which are the rules of big families in the city, and I don't understand. There is still food, and it can't be counted according to what you say, your uncle and they don't eat coarse grains, and the grain we sent was sold for rice and white flour to eat. ”

"Mother, are you doing all this?"

"They want to hide from people, but the town is too close, and there are rumors. Your uncle once passed by, saw it with his own eyes, and told me that I was just. ”

"Grandpa and grandma?"

Zhang's not this time.

"Didn't you work as a shopkeeper outside for many years, can you not be fine in the account, it seems that it must be."

"Your uncle is a showman, your aunt, and your sister-in-law are all golden nobles, so you should eat some good ones." Zhang's Road.

"Then we are born cheap?" Lian Man'er was annoyed.

Zhang's words come from the deep-rooted idea of Jin Gui, a scholar, but part of it is helpless to comfort himself. She saw Lian Man'er's eyebrows raised, and her little face flushed with anger, and she immediately regretted it.

After all, she is a mother, and the appointment is just that, and the child she really wants to talk about, she is not "virtuous" to that extent. I have to say that this is relatively lucky for Lian Man'er's children.

"No, of course not." Zhang quickly changed his words, and then sighed.

"Mother, your idea is wrong." Lian Man'er said, she felt that the Zhang family must have been brainwashed, "Since there is no separation, then it should be a bowl of water, without our bitterness, her family eats, drinks and has fun." ”

"We don't ask him to take out the money he earned, even if we don't want to. Let's go over it alone, and save it like this, how can we save some money every year, and we can also send my brother and Xiaoqi to study. ”

"If the surplus money from the food has been filled in to the uncle over the years, my brother and Xiaoqi would have been in school." Lian Man'er said again.

Zhang took a piece of cloth and rubbed it unconsciously in the basin, rubbing it harder and harder. It's not that she didn't think about it that way, but she suppressed it. No one had ever told her anything like that.

"My brother said he didn't want to study, and I saw him learning to write on the ground with a branch." Lian Man'er glanced at Gorou and said.

"I'll forget it, if I can do it, at least let Xiao Qi go to school." From the beginning of Lian Man'er talking about reading, Gorou lowered his head. Only now did he raise his head.

The mothers were talking, and even Shouxin came in from outside.

"What are you talking about?" Lian Shouxin saw Lian Man'er's face blushing excitedly, and Zhang's, Lian Zhi'er, Wulang, and Xiaoqi all had a sad look on their faces, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang finally put down the cloth in his hand, looked at Lian Shouxin and sighed.

Lian Man'er didn't care about that, let Lian Shouxin sit on the kang, and calculated the account just now for Lian Shouxin again.

Even Shouxin was silent, like Zhang, he also knew this account, this was the first time someone had calculated it to him so clearly.

"I don't have anything to say, Dad, let's ...... Let's plan for the kids. Zhang said.

"Dad knows it in his heart. Hey, isn't it just for the eldest brother to get ahead and fight for the Lian family. "Even keep the word.

"To get ahead, shouldn't you study hard? Go to the restaurant every day, pick and choose food and clothing, and you can get ahead? Ten years of cold windows, but I haven't seen anyone with a fat belly out of the cold window. Lian Man'er said.

Lian Zhi'er covered his mouth and laughed. Lian Shouren is not fat, but he has a belly early.

Even Shouxin and Zhang's have a straight face, and even some of the Shouren family's styles, they have the same thoughts as Lian Man'er in their hearts, and they don't agree.

"If you dare to say that you are separating, your lord has to split me." Even keep the word.

Lian Man'er's eyes lit up. Lian Shouxin said this, indicating that he was also inclined to split up in his heart, but it was just because of Old Man Lian.

"I've heard people say that the tree has big branches. The gap between us and the uncle's family is getting bigger and bigger, and it is long overdue to separate. Lian Man'er said.

Lian Shouxin sat there and thought for a while.

"I've thought about the separation, it's a matter of time." Even keep the word.

Lian Man'er sat up straight, and Zhang and several other children also quieted down and listened to Lian Shouxin.

"If the eldest brother gets the official and goes to office, my father, mother and Xiu'er will have to follow, and I think the second brother will also follow. The eldest brother will have to raise so many people by then, and the family will score no matter what it is. ”

Lian Man'er blinked, Lian Shouxin is not stupid, although he did not say it clearly, Lian Shouren will turn his face and deny people when the time comes, but it is obvious that he has a more objective evaluation of the situation and the temperament of some people.

"I thought, we'll split it up then. At that time, they didn't need the money we made anymore. ”

Lian Man'er rolled her eyes and leaned to the side against Lian Zhi'er.

"Man'er, what's wrong?" Lian Zhi'er thought that Lian Man'er was sick, and when she looked down, Lian Man'er's face was red and fluttering, and there was nothing wrong.

What's the matter, of course it's angry.

In the final analysis, even keeping promises is still a bun, a typical bun idea.

"I don't think people can see it now." Lian Man'er said. Even if they work hard and save money, they are not grateful at all when they look at the words and deeds of the big house, but they are high up and look down on them countrymen at all.

Lian Man'er said it very directly, and Zhang and Lian Shouxin couldn't refute it, because they also saw it, they were just kind, and they didn't want to think about it or say it.

"I think, it's better to divide it early." has to wait for Lian Hua'er to marry into the Song family, and then ask the Song family to go through the relationship, make up for Lian Shouren's prisoners, and then get the official, who will take how long. Divide early and clean early, and she can also devote herself to her small landlord plan.

"When the time comes, everyone should say that the uncle's family is developed, and he will not recognize people. It's not bad now, and people are not bad for the money we picked up from the dirt. Maybe it's because of our soil, dislike us and be ashamed. ”

Lian Man'er said, looking at Zhang.

"Mother, you said you passed by your uncle's house, but you didn't say you went to his house, and no one would let you in."

Zhang's face turned red.

"You kid, if you talk like this, you will definitely offend people in the future."

"There are no outsiders here," Lian Man'er smiled.

Zhang sat down next to Lian Man'er.

"What's the matter, listening to Man'er say this, it seems to be a lot happier in my heart." Zhang's Road. She is not stupid, she can see the height of her eyebrows, and she has always suppressed her true feelings because she is virtuous and virtuous, thinking about the overall situation.

"Fourth, let's cook." Zhou shouted at the door of the upper room.

Analyze steamed buns in depth and in all directions. Hehe.

Asking for subscriptions, pink, rewards, recommended tickets, and leaving a footprint is also a support for weak faces.
