The one who once said that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

If he was a county magistrate in the Great Song Dynasty, then Ding knew that he could naturally hide in the county office, and he didn't care about anything except for the things that the officials had confessed or the case that he was promoted to the court.

However, being a county magistrate in Yingzhou basically means that everything has to start from scratch, and everything has to be asked by the county magistrate himself.

Of course, it's not just Ding who knows this county that is troublesome. The rest of the people who had been relocated were just as troubled.

Chen Ergou stood on the ground of his house, and his face was almost full of the word unhappy. Zhang Ergou, who was standing next to Chen Ergou, also did not look very good.

Chen Ergou looked at his own field, turned his head and said to Zhang Ergou: "My family has a total of six people, but the government gave me 300 acres of land, how can I plant it." ”

Zhang Ergou also sighed and said, "Your family of six is also a family of six." Your family has divided 300 acres, and my family has also divided 300 acres. But you're better than me. ”

"Daddy's body is quite strong, and he can help you grow the land or something, and your eldest son can also help you do some work."

"But my father's health is not good, and now there is no way to help me farm, and the children in the family are also small, and the older girls are reluctant to let her go to the field."

"You say this person is a cheap skin."

"I used to always look forward to having my own land, but now that I have land, I can't plant it with a headache."

The two big men stood on the ground and were worried. After worrying for a long time, Chen Ergou's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's okay, your land can't be planted, I'll let my eldest son help you!" Besides, we can't take care of so much land alone, can't we take care of it if we find a few more people? ”

Zhang Ergou laughed and said, "The eldest son of the Kai family, like the girl of my family, has to go to social studies to study, do you dare to let them come back to farm?" The government can spare you! ”

"Also, now everyone who comes to Yingzhou is a person with a head of 50 acres of land, who doesn't have a 100 acres of land, and they can't take care of their own land, who else will help you farm?"

Chen Ergou laughed and said: "The baby's ability to study is a grace given by the official, which is a great thing, but I don't dare to delay the baby's learning." But you forgot, didn't that Ding Zhixian ask if we want a concubine? I used to be afraid that my daughter-in-law didn't dare to ask for it, but now I ...... Hey. ”

Zhang Ergou patted his head and shouted, "That's right! One more concubine to help farm the land can also save a lot of effort! ”

Chen Ergou sneered: "Look, you don't have a brain, right?" Since the government asked us if we wanted a concubine, it means that the government is not short of this. And the government also said that we don't want concubines, we can exchange them for five dollars. That is to say, this concubine is five guan money. ”

"We have the money from the government to settle down, and my family has sixty yuan, which is enough for me to buy ten concubines and be rich - as long as we buy two more, won't someone plant this land?"

"I've thought about it, the concubine can not only warm the quilt but also farm the land, which is very cost-effective. If it's good, buy two more, if it's not good, it's a matter of five dollars, even if you sell it for three or five times, at least you won't lose too much. ”

Zhang Ergou was a little dumbfounded, and after a while, he hesitated and asked, "Can you still do this?" ”

Chen Ergou said: "Why can't you?" The eldest son of my family is in the school, but I heard the gentlemen say that if the law does not prohibit it, it is a permit-this government didn't say that we can't buy a few more concubines, right? There are always some people who are afraid of their daughter-in-law's soft eggs and dare not ask for them, so let's pick up the extra concubines and buy them, why can't we? ”

Zhang Ergou slapped his head and shouted: "Sure enough, it's good to have a scholar at home, even your wooden lump has opened up!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ergou simply said: "Let's go, go home and eat, and after eating, we will go to the government together." ”

The two discussed while going back to the courtyard assigned to Zhang Ergou by the government, Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law was cooking, and heard the two of them muttering and discussing the matter of buying a concubine, Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law simply threw the rice spoon and entered the house angrily: "Okay, you Zhang Ergou, this has just arrived in Yingzhou, and you are thinking about taking a concubine on a dog's day?" Isn't it because my mother's maiden home is far away, and there are no brothers to give my mother a head?! ”

Feeling that he had lost someone in front of Chen Ergou, Zhang Ergou suddenly blushed, and wanted to beat up this stupid woman but didn't dare, so he simply snorted coldly and said: "You don't know, our family has divided three hundred acres of land, three hundred acres!" I just counted with Chen Ergou, the two of us are tired and tired, and one person can plant ten acres and eight acres, what to do with the rest? ”

"What to do?"

Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment and asked, "Besides, what does this kind of land have to do with your concubine?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law suddenly came back to her senses, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and she stared at Zhang Ergou coldly and said, "Don't you want to take the opportunity to accept a few concubines in the name of buying concubines and coming back to farm?" Besides, the government sells the natives, isn't there a man? Do you still specialize in selling concubines? ”

Chen Ergou saw that Zhang Ergou was speechless by his daughter-in-law, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! It's really just like you said, there are no men, only native women are sold. ”

Seeing Chen Ergou speak, Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law simply turned her head and shouted loudly outside the house: "Chen Ergou's family, your man is going to take a concubine!" ”

The distance between the two families made Chen Ergou's daughter-in-law hear Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law's shout. Different from Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law's shouting, Chen's second daughter-in-law came over directly with a kitchen knife: "Chen Ergou!" You dare to take a concubine! The old lady gave birth to two babies for your family and is not satisfied, is she? ”

Almost with a whoosh, Chen Ergou ran directly behind Zhang Ergou, and only after seeing that he had distanced himself from his daughter-in-law did he poke his head out and shouted: "What kind of truth do you know about a woman?" In the afternoon, you go with me to the government to see, if there is a man and a native to sell, who is willing to buy a woman back! ”

Chen Ergou's daughter-in-law slammed the kitchen knife on the table and sneered: "Still waiting for the afternoon? Could it be that you still want to go after eating? Let's go with my mother now! ”

Chen Ergou glanced at Zhang Ergou, and Zhang Ergou also looked at Chen Ergou, feeling a little sorry for his own table, and a little sorry for himself and Chen Ergou's two brothers.

When they discussed taking a concubine on the ground, both of them felt that as the head of the family, they couldn't do this little thing? However, it turns out that the two who are afraid of their wives really can't be the masters - they didn't even eat lunch, and they were dragged to the government by their own wives.

……

Ding knew that he wanted to cry.

On the first day of his arrival, someone came to beat the drum of injustice, what a mother!
