After the third sister left, Li Jing called Li Jue into the house, although he had a general understanding of the three relatives in his current family, but he still didn't know anything about this society, he was eager to know everything he could know.

Li Jue entered the house, helped Li Jing to the bed, and sat down beside him with a big grin.

Li Jing was dumbfounded, didn't he say that ancient people attached great importance to respect and inferiority? My cheap sister doesn't treat me as a big brother, so why doesn't this cheap brother seem to take me seriously?

As soon as Li Jue sat down, he found that Li Jing was squinting at him, and subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his clothes a few times, "Big brother, is there something wrong with my clothes?" ”

Li Jing came back to his senses, shook his head awkwardly, and said with a smile: "No, I feel that you are becoming more and more powerful, second brother." ”

Hearing Li Jing say this, Li Jue couldn't help but straighten his chest, "Big brother, is there anything wrong with you calling me in?" ”

Li Jing patted his head, and said that he almost forgot about his business, and smiled at Li Jue: "My brother's illness is not very good, and I can't remember what year it is." ”

Before he finished his later words, Li Jue snatched the words over, "This year is the thirty-second year of Qianlong, August 9."

"What? It turned out to be the prosperous era of Qianlong? ”

Li Jing's body that had just been lying down sat up suddenly, and his exertion inevitably affected the wounds on his body, making him grit his teeth in pain.

For the Qianlong dynasty, he knew something about it from TV when he was very young, Liu Luoguo Zhidou and Shen and Ziwei's mother Xia Yuhe.

Later, when I studied history, I knew more, what was the recovery of Xinjiang, the Siku Quanshu, the literary prison, the ten perfect old people who lived to be more than eighty years old, and so on. During this period of Qianlong's reign, the rebellions were basically petty fights, and they had no impact at all, and it was only after Qianlong's abdication in 60 years that a large-scale White Lotus uprising that lasted for nine years occurred. But now it is only 32 years of Qianlong, and it will take more than 20 years to wait for that opportunity.

"Now sixteen years old, twenty-nine years later, Lao Tzu is forty-five years old, and he has become an old man, and he still makes a hairy rebellion"

Li Jing pursed his lips, it seems that the path of Lao Zhu following the White Lotus Sect to fish in the water and strengthen his power will not work, and he can only start from scratch on his own.

For the self-made rebellion, Li Jing felt that five conditions must be met: first, there must be a large amount of silver, second, a large amount of grain, third, a large number of loyal talents, fourth, it must have its own base area, and fifth, it must build a large number of spears and cannons and train 100,000 modern soldiers. Only when these conditions are met can it be possible to attack the city of Beijing and capture Qianlong alive.

Li Jing formulated a rebellious policy for himself, and he felt quite proud in his heart, feeling that killing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establishing New China was just a matter of him turning over the rain, and he laughed proudly.

Li Jue saw Li Jing making a fuss for a while, and then smirking there again, and couldn't help frowning, "Big brother, are you scared again?" ”

Li Jing was in a good mood, and he didn't care about Li Jue's words, and waved his hand, "Big brother is planning big things, and in a few years, big brother will be very rich, so that you, your sister, and your mother will have a good life." Find seventeen or eighteen maidens waiting for you. ”

Li Jue was quite disdainful of Li Jing's words, pursed his lips and said, "Big brother, if you are so powerful, let's think about how to repay the debts owed by our family." The second dog said that the bastard said that if he came back in ten days, if he couldn't get the money, he would use our breakfast shop to pay off the debt. ”

Li Jue's words were like a basin of cold water that woke up Li Jing, who was dreaming, and pulled him back to reality.

He didn't know how many times he had heard the very rustic name 'Ergouzi', every time he heard this name, there would always be a surge of hatred in his heart, he knew that this was a reaction caused by the residual memory of the original owner of the body, and he subconsciously hated this person until he died. It seems that this guy named Ergouzi has caused very cruel damage to the body, body and mind of the original owner of this body, so that he disappeared into this world, and he still hates this Ergouzi.

"You also know that the eldest brother has a bad memory, who is the second dog, and why does our family owe him money?"

When it came to the second dog, Li Jue's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said hatefully: "Those two dogs live in the same alley as our family, just across three families, and the family was originally a carpenter, but this bastard is so idle, he messes with some ruffians all day long, and he hasn't learned his father's craft." Last year, he spent money in the county government to buy a card leader, and our family made up his card. ”

Li Jing's understanding of the Qing Dynasty is limited to a state of indignation, and he knows about celebrity biographies and some major events, and almost knows everything else. Hearing Li Jue mention the card commander, I thought that Li Jue was talking about the platoon commander, and for a while, I thought I was back in the army.

He interrupted Li Jue's words and asked Li Jue what the hell was the card leader.

Li Jue's face was obviously impatient, but he still roughly described the hukou system of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty was very strict with the management of the Han people, and each household would be issued a stamp with a record of the number of Dingkou, age, appearance, origin and social background of each household, and even what strangers had come to the family, and what people in the family had been to where they had been, all of which had to be recorded one by one, and updated once in one to two years.

Ten households set up a card, by the county government in the ten households in the selection of the card chief, ten cards and a long, ten in the long one, ten in the long one. Bao Chang Guan Ji Bao 10 A long, A Long Guan Bundle 1 A 10 brand long, 1 brand long 10 households.

The card chief and the first captain are changed every three years, and the power of the chief is relatively large, and most of them are changed every year.

They are mainly responsible for supervising and managing whether the people within the Baojia have committed illegal acts, whether they have added new dingkou, and whether they have called for taxes.

"Damn, what color of I pull has to be recorded." Li Jing said with some unhappiness.

Li Jue grinned, "Big brother really forgot everything about this illness, these are just superficial, no one does this." The imperial court also prohibits gambling and prostitution, but we still have less in Donghu County, there are at least dozens of half-hidden doors in the alleys of Beilan, and there are thin horses from the south of the Yangtze River on the Huangbai River and the cruise ships on the river. As for gambling, gambling is held every day in the backyard of the 'Jinfeng Restaurant' next to the alley, and no one knows about the whole alley, and I haven't seen the government come to arrest anyone. ”

Li Jing was very shocked, what shocked him was not these shady scenes of the Qing Dynasty, but that you are a fourteen-year-old little kid, who even knows very well where there are secret prostitutes and casinos in the city, and he will memorize English words day and night when he is fourteen years old.

"You, how do you know so much? Have you ever been to those places? Li Jing looked at Li Jue and asked with questioning.

Li Jue glared at his bull's eyes, and Huo Di sat up, "Big brother, our family has been plagued like this by the second dog, how can you still say such sad things to your brother." Isn't my good brother Dafuku's father running a boat, every time Dafuku's ship comes back, he will call me to help unload the cargo, these things are all things I heard when the sailors on the ship were chatting. ”

Li Jing also felt that his words were wrong, after all, this was in ancient times, and the joke was not made randomly, so he smiled awkwardly, "Second brother, the eldest brother is wrong, you go on, how did the two dogs bully our family." ”

Li Jue gave him a blank look, and then went on to talk about the two dogs and their family.

In the past, Li Jing and their card chiefs were very kind, and everyone has been safe and sound. However, since the second dog became the card chief, he began to collect protection fees with the ruffians on the street, and if he didn't give it, he would look for your family's mistakes all day long. Zhang Gui next door didn't take Ergouzi and a few ruffians in his eyes because he had practiced martial arts, and never paid protection money.

Ergouzi and a few ruffians are the lord who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, although he holds a grudge, but he does not dare to do anything with him, so he privately finds his fault, and finally finds them the matter of him drunk and scolded the county, reported to the county office, and was ruthlessly blackmailed by Zhang Bantou of the fast shift who came to five taels of silver. The second dog also became Zhang Bantou's friend.

Ergouzi relied on the name of Zhang Bantou, becoming more and more arrogant, and no one dared not pay him protection money. Li Jing's family sells breakfast, and the second dog and his brothers will come to Li Jing's house every day to eat and drink for nothing, and sometimes take some copper coins to leave. Li Jue couldn't see it, and wanted to go up and give Ergouzi a few punches several times, but he was stopped by Li Liu.

The waterways of Yichang Province are crisscrossed, and floods are very prone to occur during the rainy season in summer, and the government will levy people to build and guard the river embankment every year.

This year, it should be apportioned to Butcher Zhang's house, but Butcher Zhang used one or two pieces of silver to buy off the two dogs and was exempted from servitude.

Ergouzi thought about it, couldn't find a suitable person to repair the embankment, and when he walked to the door of Li Jing's house, he suddenly thought that Li Jing turned sixteen years old this year, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said that it was this broken sour.

According to the household registration system of the Qing Dynasty, the common people were called Ding by men, Kou by women, and by men under the age of 16. 'Kou' is not required to serve as a servant, and only men who have reached the age of 16 are recruited and sent to serve.

Li Liu heard that his family was assigned to this drudgery, although the government will have work and food supplements, so he doesn't have to worry about it, but Li Jing is weak after all, where can he withstand the toss, so he went to the second dog to intercede. The second dog bullied Li Liu's honesty and asked her to take five taels of silver to be exempted from this Ding service, and he was looking for someone else.

Li Liu felt sorry for his son, but he didn't have so much money in his hand, so he begged the second dog if he could pay it in two years.

Ergouzi originally deliberately shouted the price up to let Li Liu say good things, and then pretended to be a good person to lower the price. Unexpectedly, Li Liu was a wooden woman, and she didn't even see it, and her eyes couldn't help but roll, wanting to get more benefits from Li Liu. So, he pretended to be embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "Since my aunt has said so, how can you not agree to be a junior, you always sit here for a while, I will go to find a guarantor and write an IOU as a voucher." ”

In less than a day, Ergouzi and a squad with a waist knife walked in. Li Liu's acquaintance with that class is the second dog brother Zhang Bantou who often haunts their alley.

Zhang Bantou took out a note from his arms, handed it to Li Liu, and said that she should see it clearly, and don't admit it when the time comes.

Where did Li Liu know any words, and he was afraid of the prestige of the official government behind Zhang Bantou, so he pressed his handprint in a daze.

After everything was done, Ergouzi politely sent Li Liu away, and the next day he found another family to send a man to serve as Ding.

Li Liu was very happy to see that Ergouzi did not embarrass his two sons, as for owing Ergouzi five taels of silver, she can do more work, and the eldest son can help people write more letters, and the second son does not expect it, he can earn enough money for him to eat. If you beg someone to get more needlework for the third sister's tailor, and save some food, you should be able to repay the five taels of silver of the second dog within two years.

But she never expected that only three months later, Ergouzi came to the door with a few ruffians and asked her for forty taels of silver.

Li Liu was stunned for a long time and did not react, at that time, Li Jing happened to be in the shop, he didn't know that Li Liu had set up an IOU with the second dog, thinking that the second dog was here to ask for money, and this time he asked for forty taels of silver, which was the chewing of their family for several years, and he rushed up to find the second dog theory in a moment

Ergouzi has always looked down on Li Jing, a sour man who can recognize a few words, spat on his face, and then beckoned a few ruffians to rush up, pressing Li Jing to the ground, and slamming his fists on him like raindrops. That Li Jing was just a weak scholar, where could he withstand the beating, he quickly begged for mercy, but those ruffians were beaten and ignored at all. It wasn't until there were more onlookers that Ergouzi was afraid of arousing public anger or causing death, so he lazily stopped those ruffians, and then took out an IOU, claiming that Li Jing refused to pay back the money his family owed him, which taught him a lesson.

At this time, Li Liu, who had been held up by a ruffian, broke free, rushed up, saw his son lying motionless on the ground, and was angry, so he pounced on Ergouzi, grabbed his face with both hands, and immediately grabbed a few blood marks.

The second dog was furious, pushed Li Liu away, and was about to call the ruffian who came to teach her a lesson, but unexpectedly squeezed out a few people from the crowd, led by Li Liu's second son Li Jue, and he was with him are all men who ran the boat, these people are all five big and three thick, the second dog is a little scared, but he refuses to admit it, pointing to Li Liu's and saying that the IOU is written on a blank sheet of paper, Li Liu's owes him five taels of silver, which doubles every month, and now Li Liu's should pay him back forty taels of silver, and he is a debt collector. read a game in the neighborhood, and then give Li Liu half a month to raise money, if she can't raise it, she will have to take her shop.

Hearing what the second dog said, Li Liu knew that he had been fooled, and he sat on the ground and wiped his tears.
