Liu Min heard the voice of Liu Er shouting outside the door, and couldn't help but be happy and said silently: "It turned out to be Grandpa Huo!" Didn't Grandpa Fire go in the direction of Changbo Mountain? He said he was going to find Gong Mei silversmith, why did he come back so soon......"

Liu Min thought about Grandpa Huo going to Changbo Mountain Donkey Head Weir to find silversmith Gong Mei, and his face glowed brightly.

Grandpa Huo's intention in finding Gong Mei is very clear, that is, to drag Liu Min up from the fire pit; Liu Min was happy with Grandpa Huo's move.

Instead of staying in front of Liu Er and Xiao Hongping, two living dead who were lazy like pigs and fierce like wolves, they were beaten and angry; It's better to jump out of the fire pit as soon as possible.

But Grandpa Huo said that he wanted Liu Min to be a concubine for Gong Mei, and what it meant to be a concubine was that Liu Min didn't quite understand the original body; But later generations of medical doctors understood it like a mirror.

As long as you can get rid of Liu Er's environment that seems to be a home and not a home, there is nothing great about being a concubine.

Men in the Song Dynasty were allowed to have three wives and four concubines, regardless of whether they were rich or poor; Question: You have to have a fairly strong economic foundation to take a concubine, or do you want to marry several wives in a row, what do you eat and wear?

According to the family law of the Song people, there can only be one wife and there must be; As for concubines, they are dispensable.

Because the status of concubines is very low and can be bought and sold, many people are conditionally allowed to take concubines, but there are also many family laws that stipulate that no concubines are accepted at forty. That is, the husband can only take a concubine when he is over forty years old and has no children. From here, it can be seen that the concubine is just a fertility tool.

Since the concubine is only a tool for procreation, the concubine lacks many rights; For example, ownership of children.

Many family laws stipulate that when a wife has no children, a concubine cannot have sons for herself, and these sons must be counted as the wife's biological sons, and concubines can only be counted as aunts.

Moreover, unless the concubine gave birth to a son, the concubine will never be included in the family tree.

Liu Min wants to jump out of the tiger's mouth, and it is impossible to think about it so much; Besides, Gong Meineng mentioned to Grandpa Huo that the economic foundation of the concubine would definitely not be bad there.

Gong Mei's economic foundation will not be bad, this is a matter of lice on the bald head; He was a silversmith, and he used silver to make silver jewelry for everyone's ladies; A casual shaving of the skin on a piece of jewelry is also a big push for wealth, not to mention the expensive manual costs.

Liu Min has psychologically accepted Gong Mei, but she is only seven years old; But Grandpa Huo also has a way: first make a child daughter-in-law at the age of 13 and then round the house.

Grandpa Huo arranged Liu Min's future life, and Liu Min didn't know how to thank him......

Before Liu Min could finish thinking about the questions, Grandpa Huo walked into the door with his head held high.

Grandpa Huo is a merchant in the cypress forest, but their family, like Liu Er's family, rents the land of the abbot of Jixian Temple to grow wheat and rice; It's all sideways.

The problem is that Grandpa Huo's family is industrious and thrifty, chivalrous and righteous, and morality comes first; Liu Er's family is a rotten chicken, Liu Er and his wife Xiao Hongping are two lazy pigs, and the rented land has been operated by Liu Min since last year.

Liu Min is only seven years old, and he can't help but run more than a dozen acres of rented land in his family; has to go up the mountain to fetch firewood and sell money to maintain the food and clothing of a family of three, as for cooking and laundry at home, all the small things naturally fall on Liu Min's immature shoulders.

The side household is the tenant household, which is a kind of refuge household inherited from generation to generation; He was forced to be made like a slave.

In addition to paying rent to the wealthy people, the side households also have to bear the burden of tax exploitation.

Sichuan is known as the land of abundance, but it has been controlled by feudal separatist forces since the end of the Tang Dynasty; There were separatist regimes such as the former Shu and the latter Shu here, and the feudal separatist forces did their best to loot and plunder the people.

The Sichuan Basin is located in the southwest of China, surrounded by mountains and passes. The terrain is difficult.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huangchao Uprising moved to the Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River, and Pearl River basins, but did not sweep to Sichuan; As a result, the powerful landlords here have never been hit by large-scale armed peasant violence, and the contradictions between the peasant class and the landlord class are particularly acute.

When the Huangchao rebel army approached Chang'an, Tang Xizong led a large number of bureaucrats to flee to Sichuan.

During the Five Dynasties, the well-dressed clans of the Tang Dynasty mostly avoided chaos in Shu, and until the beginning of the Song Dynasty, this area still retained the relatively backward production relations before the Tang Dynasty; Land annexation is more prominent than in the Central Plains, and powerful landlords frantically annex land to occupy a large number of side households; for their brutal and barbaric servitude and exploitation.

There are many wealthy people in the Sichuan Gorge, and they use small civil servants as tenants to make them slaves; Families or dozens of households rent and adjust mediocrity, all tenants inherit it, and the side households are wealthy people, all of whom have been inherited for several generations.

This kind of side-household was fixed to the landlord's land for generations, and was enslaved like slaves; There is a strong personal attachment to the landlord.

In addition to paying rent to the landlords of the wealthy clans, the side households also had to bear all kinds of heavy taxes and servitude of the government; The side households were in fact low-status dependent peasants.

At that time, the number of such side households accounted for more than 70 percent of the total number of households in Yizhou, and in some remote areas, it reached 80 to 90 percent.

Many wealthy families often own more than thousands of side households.

Because the exploitation of the side households is more severe than in other areas, the life is even poorer; Therefore, their demand for the overthrow of the oppression and rule of the landlords became even stronger.

In addition, after the Song Dynasty destroyed Houshu, there were large-scale plunder; It also brought great disasters to the farmers of Sichuan.

The Song Dynasty transported the "heavy goods" such as gold, silver, jewelry, and copper coins stored in the treasury of Houshu Mansion and "light goods" such as silk cloth to the capital city of Kaifeng, known as the "Rijin Gang".

For this reason, a large number of people were forcibly conscripted, and it took more than ten years to complete the transportation; This has placed a heavier burden on the peasants.

There are many people in Chengdu and little land, and farmers "don't have enough to help"; Most of them are engaged in side businesses such as textiles and tea picking.

The government of the Northern Song Dynasty set up the "Bomaiwu" in Chengdu to monopolize the cloth trade; Individual peasants and petty traders were forbidden to buy and sell freely, while powerful landlords seized the opportunity to "free the cheap and sell the expensive," speculated, extorted the common people, and profited from it.

As a result, increasingly impoverished peasants continue to lose their family property, and many small traders are forced to lose their jobs; The cottage industry of the peasants was severely damaged.

The government of the Northern Song Dynasty also classified tea as a monopoly, buying tea at low prices and selling rice at high prices to tea farmers, so that the vast number of tea farmers went bankrupt one after another and cut off their livelihood.

Such brutal exploitation forced the peasants to revolt continuously, but the real peasant uprising was the uprising of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun in 993 AD, 18 years before Grandpa Huo proposed to Liu Min.

Liu Min was born in 968 A.D., and is now 7 years old in 975 A.D.

The fire grandfather who walked through the door was tall and around 60 years old; His bronzed face was covered with sweat, judging by his dusty appearance; Liu Min knew that he had rushed back from the silversmith Gong Mei.

Grandpa Huo, who walked into the gate, saw Liu Er, Xiao Hongping, and Liu Min frozen in the courtyard, arguing and shouting together; couldn't help but be stunned, and shouted in his mouth: "What ...... do you do?"

Grandpa Huo exclaimed in his mouth and walked up to Liu Er like a raging wind, even half a body taller than this guy,

Grandpa Huo's height is not only incomparable to Liu Er, but also stands out on the streets of Chengdu.

Grandpa Huo's surname is Renfu, although he is a side household in Cypress Forest Village; But he is righteous and kind, and likes to help others; Even in Chengdu Mansion, it is a corner that everyone admires......
