Fan's house is also a newly built thatched house, and most of the houses in this area collapsed in the earthquake, but a small number of people were able to live in it.

The conditions of Fan's family are slightly better than Wei Bao's, because Fan Lao's pimple and Fan's big head can be regarded as strong laborers, and his family has saved a little food for the winter, but he is still very nervous, and he can only eat a little bit in a few days, which can only be regarded as barely surviving.

"Wei Bao, why are you here?" Fan's head was adding firewood to the cart.

Wei Bao smiled and put a small bundle of firewood on his back on the cart with Fan's head, and said, "Go to Shanhaiwei with you to sell firewood." ”

Fan sighed, and then sighed: "I'm afraid that I will return empty-handed like last time, and now there are firewood sellers everywhere." ”

"So we increased a lot this time and sold at a low price! Half sell and half give, as long as you can sell it, as long as you are willing to work, you will not starve to death. "It was Fan's father, Fan's big head, who spoke. Wei Bao didn't know the name of Fan Lao Pimple, he only knew that his name was Fan Lao Pimple, and he was Wei Dakang's friend and old neighbor.

"I'll go too." Fan Xiaolin, the younger sister of Fan's big head, came out of the house and glanced at Wei Bao, "It just so happens that Qiu Ya said that her father has a market today and is going to Shanhaiwei to sell some food for some food, and Qiu Ya will also go today." ”

Fan Xiaolin is good-looking, but she is just a farmer's daughter, exposed to the wind and sun, and her skin is relatively rough.

In the past, Wei Bao was very shy when he saw Fan Xiaolin, but today he was very calm and did not avoid Fan Xiaolin's gaze, which made Fan Xiaolin's slightly dark face slightly red.

"Then you go and see Qiu Ya and her father, are you okay? We're on the road now, and her father's temperament is grinding. Fan Lao pimple tied the firewood that Wei Bao had just put on the car with a rope made of grass, and one action revealed his sharp personality.

"Okay." Fan Xiaolin agreed, went to Wang Qiuya's house next to her, and when she passed by Wei Bao's side, she glanced at Wei Bao again.

Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin are both three or four years older than Wei Bao, because they are neighbors, they grew up together, and in their eyes, Wei Bao is just a child.

When Fan's head pulled the car, Fan Laopimple and Wei Bao helped the cart go out, Fan Xiaolin still didn't call Wang Qiuya and her father, Fan Laopmpa said: "This old Wang is the most grinding and chirping, like an old lady, I'll take a look, you go first, we'll chase you immediately." ”

Fan Tou and Wei Bao agreed, and on the dilapidated small board car, a cart of firewood was swaying.

"Your dad and you are so diligent in getting so much firewood." Wei Bao laughed.

Fan said embarrassedly: "It was all cut by my father and Xiaolin, I didn't have much effort, Wei Bao, can you go such a long way?" Your family has been out of food for a few days, right? ”

Wei Bao hummed perfunctorily, because Luo San was stunned and explained not to talk about fish, listening to Fan's meaning, Fan's head should not have run out of food, so he didn't say anything about eating fish last night.

Fan's family is not out of food, but he is not able to help his neighbors, Wei Bao is not disgusted, he can understand this situation, people take care of their own families first.

"Then don't push the cart, I'll pull it alone, and when it doesn't work, I'll ask you to push it again." Fan said with a big head.

"It's fine." Wei Bao's heart warmed, and he felt that although the people at this time were poor, they had a strong human touch, and they were very good at thinking about others.

Fan turned his head and glanced at Wei Bao, and saw that Wei Bao seemed to be okay, so he didn't say anything more, smiled, and secretly thought that the young man had grown up and contributed.

Because the two of them had to wait for someone, they didn't go fast, and after a while, Fan Lao Pimple, Wang Qiuya, Wang Qiuya's father Wang Zhihui, and Fan Xiaolin followed, and there was one more Zheng Zhongfei.

Wei Bao knows Zheng Zhongfei, Zheng Zhongfei is the son of Zheng Jinfa, the head of the first class, and his family is a rich family, or a middle peasant, anyway, he is richer than ordinary people.

According to the memories of the original Wei Bao that he absorbed, Wei Bao was able to roughly sort out some of the relationships of this era.

The basic unit of A is ten households, and one is 110 households, which is the most basic element of the basic unit of the Ming Dynasty, there must be so many households, and there are also abnormal households, so a A and one, in fact, there are more than 10 households and 110 households, generally a family is about 5 people, some more and some less, plus a bunch of abnormal zero households, the population of one is usually about 1,000 people.

For example, there are more than 1,000 people in a large li like Jinshanli, and the li in the south is generally larger, because the population in the south is larger, and the densely populated li in the original will also reach one or two thousand people.

The society of the Ming Dynasty is actually a society composed of the emperor and so many people in the world, and the officials are just a bridge, at this time the sum of all the officials in the world is only twenty or thirty thousand, and the Beijing officials account for tens of thousands.

In this era, the money was used as the basic unit of silver, and one or two silver in the early years of the Ming Dynasty and the strongest time were probably worth 600 yuan in later generations, and even reached eight to nine hundred yuan, the more valuable the money, the higher the people's satisfaction with life.

One or two silver according to the official exchange of the past dynasties can be exchanged for consistent copper coins, consistent copper coins are equal to 1000 Wen, but in fact, it is never possible to exchange one or two silver for 1000 copper coins, this difference fluctuates greatly, because you can add more lead to the copper coins and less copper, the government and profiteers use this method to exploit the people, so, one or two silver at this time can actually be exchanged for nearly 2000 copper coins, everyone is still reluctant to use copper coins to trade, either use scales to weigh silver, or barter!

The disadvantages of these ancient currencies were derived from the feudal economic system, which seriously restricted economic development and industrial sprouts.

However, now the decline of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the continuous disasters, the value of silver has shrunk significantly, roughly equivalent to four or five hundred yuan in later generations, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, one or two silver is worth two or three hundred yuan in later generations.

If you want to divide the components, a family with 25 taels of silver is equal to a modern household of 10,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a middle peasant, and a family with 250 taels of silver, which is equal to a modern household of 100,000 yuan, can be regarded as a rich peasant.

A family with 2,500 taels of silver is equal to a modern million-yuan household, and in Wei Bao's view, it should be regarded as entering the ranks of landlords.

The landlord can be divided into small landlords, big landlords, if there is a 25,000 taels of silver at home, which is equal to a modern net worth of 10 million yuan, in this era, it is a big landlord!

Tens of thousands of taels of silver are very terrifying existences.

Up to 100,000 taels, one million taels, that is the level of corrupt officials and big corrupt officials, the existence of the prince level.

The emperor is the highest symbol of power in the world, but the emperor is not necessarily the one who holds the most wealth.

Wei Bao estimated that Zheng Zhongfei's family assets were more than 25 taels of silver, and according to his feelings, it might be less than 250 taels, which was between middle peasants and rich peasants.

For example, Wei Bao's family, Fan's big head family, and Wang Qiuya's family, which is a problem for eating, don't need to ask, they can only be regarded as poor peasants, and the combination of Luo Sanzi and Liu Chunshi is not even a poor peasant.

Zheng Zhongfei put a leg of mutton on the cart pulled by Fan's head, and greeted Fan's head, "Big head." ”

Fan's head obviously didn't want to pay attention to Zheng Zhongfei, and his attitude was not as warm as that of Wei Bao, so he hummed casually, and didn't look at Zheng Zhongfei.

Wei Bao didn't like people like Zheng Zhongfei either, but he thought that the young in ancient times should be polite when they saw the elderly, so he took the initiative to greet Zheng Zhongfei and called Brother Zhongfei, which was all based on the name in memory.

Zheng Zhongfei glanced at Wei Bao with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Lao Wei's son is also here, you also go to Shanhaiwei?" Your family has been out of food for many days, right? Have you traveled such a long way? ”

Seeing Zheng Zhongfei's frivolous attitude, Wei Bao hummed perfunctorily, not wanting to talk to him more.

Fan Xiaolin quipped to Wei Bao: "Wei Bao, when did you have such a sweet mouth?" Why don't you call me sister? ”

"Sister." Wei Bao didn't hesitate, anyway, he wouldn't suffer a loss, he was already small.

This made Fan's head, Fan Lao's pimple, Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya looked at Wei Bao together, Wei Bao never called Fan Xiaolin.

Wei Bao looked at Wang Qiuya, Wang Qiuya is obviously more beautiful than Fan Xiaolin, the same age as Fan Xiaolin, with a goose egg face, dark skin, and a little pale, the characteristics of a poor girl by the sea, but she is surrounded by a youthful atmosphere, not a small family.

is also a simple dress of a peasant girl, but it can be called beautiful and generous, not an ordinary small jasper.

In Wei Bao's memory, Wang Qiuya is one of the best beauties in this Jinshan area, and she can be counted as the top three in the entire Yongping Mansion, this beauty list is Luo San stunned and Fan Tou, Liu Chunshi This kind of singles group is discharged, the first one is said to be the Miss Wei Commander Si Wei commands the Wu family, the second place is the Miss of the Chang Family in Jinshan, and the third place is Wang Qiuya of his neighbor's family in front of him.

The Li Chang's family is at least a rich peasant level, or even a landlord level, which is a little rich, and Wei Commander Tongzhi is an official from the third grade, and he is an official, which is both rich and powerful, and his social status is naturally very high, so Wang Qiuya can enter the beauty ranking of Yongping Mansion with the other two beauties, which shows that his appearance is outstanding.

"Hehe, it seems that you have changed today, so you also want to call Sister Qiu Ya, right?" Fan Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Sister Qiu Ya." Wei Bao called as soon as Fan Xiaolin finished speaking.

Wang Qiuya smiled and hummed, holding a cabbage that their family was going to take to Shanhaiwei to sell.

Wang Zhihui said with a smile: "People say that girls have changed eighteen times, and boys have grown up faster, and Wei Bao is a bit like an adult." ”

"Uncle Wang, Wei Bao is taller than you, of course he looks like an adult." Fan Xiaolin said with a smile.

"When he gets older, it will be more miserable, if he is still a child, he can still consume less food, and the older he is, the more he eats, and his family's life will only become more and more difficult." Zheng Zhongfei came out of place.

Wei Bao estimated that Zheng Zhongfei reminded everyone that his family background was good.

No one answered Zheng Zhongfei's words, except for his family, they were all poor families.

Then Zheng Zhongfei went to talk to Wang Qiuya, regardless of the fact that the royal father was in front of him.

Wei Bao secretly noticed that the royal father and Wang Qiuya, as well as Fan Xiaolin, seemed to have a slight impression of Zheng Zhongfei, and secretly thought that Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin had reached marriageable age, and Zheng Zhongfei was indeed a good object.

Zheng Zhongfei obviously likes Wang Qiuya, but Fan Laopimple and Fan's big head don't look at Zheng Zhongfei very much.

Wei Bao only looks at these from the perspective of a bystander, Wang Qiuya is very beautiful, but he is not focusing on women now, how to change the status quo is the top priority.

The world is so big, I came to ancient times, and when I had a social status, there weren't many women, right?

"Twenty-eight beautiful people are like crisps, and they cut fools with a sword at their waists. Although I don't see anyone's head falling, I secretly teach the monarch to have dry bone marrow. I don't know if Zheng Zhongfei is too disgusting to speak, Fan Datou hummed a slang song while pulling the car.

Wei Bao secretly noticed that Fan Datou liked Wang Qiuya, it is estimated that Fan Datou saw Zheng Zhongfei and Wang Qiuya chatting hotly at this time, and was jealous, in Wei Bao's memory, it seems that there are few singles in this large area who don't like Wang Qiuya, and even feel that Wang Qiuya is the original Wei Bao's crush, Da Ming is only 14 years old, in fact, it can be equivalent to the sexual maturity of seventeen or eighteen-year-old men in later generations.

Wei Bao was very interested in Fan's big head's song, and after listening to it twice, he hummed along with Fan's head, which made Fan's head sing louder and louder.

Wei Bao and Fan's family exchanged firewood for food, the Wang family wanted to exchange some stored vegetables for food, but Zheng Zhongfei wanted to exchange meat for food, although he had just been hit by the earthquake, but no matter how sinister the place, there would never be a situation where the landlord's family had no surplus grain, at most, the landlord's family had a little unbalanced grain reserves recently, and there was still some meat, and there was not enough food.

Zheng Zhongfei does have proud capital, no matter what era it is, whoever has financial resources will have capital!

Wei Bao looked at this very lightly, but he was very disgusted by Zheng Zhongfei's repeated ridicule of Wei Bao and Fan in his words for selling firewood for nothing, you are a well-fed person, not to mention sympathy, at least don't show off and don't hit others, typical for being rich and unkind.

Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya don't seem to be disgusted with Zheng Zhongfei at all, which makes the impression of the two girls in Wei Bao's heart very much, and the poor family is also a little backbone, I really don't know how to walk with this goods.

Along the way, Fan Datou and Fan Lao Pimple took turns pulling the cart, Wei Bao and Fan Xiaolin, and Wang Zhihui would come over to help push the cart from time to time, Zheng Zhongfei and Wang Qiuya had been chatting on the side, which made Wei Bao dispel the impression that he had heard from books that ancient women were all out of the door, and felt that they were all more able to speak and open than modern women.

Chatting with Fan Tou, the stories Fan Tou told are also all cheating stories, why is the real Ming Dynasty like this?
