On the same day, the two officials gave all the land of Zhou Yuanwai's house to the people according to the regulations, and according to the capitation, two acres per person, that is to say, the six acres of land rented by the little girl and their family directly belonged to them.

In the future, there is no need to work outside the Zhou Yuan, there is no need to give the Zhou Yuan diplomatic food, six acres of land a year, six or seven hundred catties of grain, and then plant some vegetables, and the tax problem will be solved, then it will be enough for their family to have no worries about food and clothing for a year.

Therefore, on this day, the people of Zhoujia Village, and even the people of many villages around the imperial capital were overjoyed.

For many years, the land was controlled by some squires, and now the reform of the imperial court directly ensures that the land is in the hands of the people themselves, and it is absolutely fair and just.

And black-hearted people like Zhou Yuanwai cried bitterly all day this day.

Although they also made some money, they had no land, and they didn't have any work, and they would return to their original form in less than two years, so Zhou Yuanwai's family is worried now.

In the hall of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Yuanwai looked at his wife and wife below and said:

"Let a few people be dismissed, our Zhou family only has six acres of land, and we will have to live tightly in the future."

"Master, is it possible that we will also work in the field in the future?" Mrs. Zhou spoke.

Zhou Yuanwai nodded and said, "Otherwise? Eat the old book? There is no surplus food at home. ”

"Dad, what should I do, I still want to marry the head catcher......" Miss Zhou said coquettishly.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "Daughter, don't think about it, people also agree to see that our family is a big family in Zhoujia Village, and now that our family has no 1,000 acres of land, they will ask someone to bring a letter in the afternoon, saying that the family affairs are exempt!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Miss Zhou burst into tears and said:

"That'...... So what should I do? I can't marry an official, and my family has no land, so in the future, won't I be no different from ordinary women?

Father, mother, I don't want to be an ordinary woman, I want to have status, I want to be happy...... I don't want to work, I want to live a life where I stretch out my clothes and eat and open my mouth......"

Zhou Yuanwai was upset by the noise, and said: "Okay, stop it, you asked you to marry the young man I said, you didn't want to, you had to go to the official, now it's okay, right?" ”

Miss Zhou's eyes lit up: "Yes, Dad, isn't that kid still in our house?" Now in this situation, I agree to marry him, no matter what, at least I can be the daughter-in-law of a rich family. ”

Zhou Yuanwai nodded: "It's good if you agree, I'll go find him." ”

And at this moment, Qin Ming has already seen the results he wants to see, and the division of land here is in place, and Qin Ming is ready to leave here the next day.

But at this time, Zhou Yuanwai called him to the hall, and Qin Ming looked at Zhou Yuanwai suspiciously.

"Young man, my daughter is willing to marry you now." Zhou Yuanwai said.

Miss Zhou looked at Qin Ming and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Even if you are blessed, Miss Ben will reluctantly marry you." ”

Qin Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know where you got your confidence, and you are still embarrassed?" You don't ask, am I willing to marry someone like you? ”

Miss Zhou was stunned for a moment, then got up and glared at Qin Ming and said, "What do you mean?" You still don't want to marry me? Who do you think you are? I'm also the daughter of the Zhou family, you ......"

Qin Ming interrupted impatiently: "Shut up, you, the daughter of a village member outside the family, what are you arrogant about?" Do you really think you're a daughter?

Look at the one who gives you to you day by day, and you are not an official and do not marry, which official can take a fancy to you? How? Now bankrupt, the family business is gone, and you want to find Lao Tzu? Are you dreaming? ”

Miss Zhou's face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Qin Ming and said, "You...... What did you say? I just have no land at home, and I am also Miss Zhou, you dare to look down on me? ”

Qin Ming pouted: "Miss Zhou? Isn't it awesome? Isn't it time to go to the field and farm? Do you think you're really on top? ”

"You ......" Miss Zhou was about to explode in anger.

Zhou Yuanwai was also angry, got up and pointed at Qin Ming and said, "Boy, you said that you would be rich, otherwise, I would have taken the family's land." ”

Qin Ming smiled: "Natian, is it still yours?" ”

Zhou Yuanwai's body was shocked, and he wanted to say something, but he saw that Qin Ming had already turned around, and while leaving Zhou's mansion, he said:

"This is the end of oppressing the people, my Zhou family will probably be excluded in Zhoujia Village in the future, don't be arrogant!"

Looking at Qin Ming's departure, Miss Zhou was also angry: "Dad, what should I do now?" Even this kid, he doesn't want me to ......"

Zhou Yuanwai took a deep breath and said, "Your father and I, since we have taken a fancy to this kid's money, we will not let go easily." We have no land now, this kid must have money in his family, whether he marries you or not, I will scrape a sum from him. ”

Miss Zhou hurriedly asked, "Dad, how to do it?" ”

Zhou Yuanwai's eyes narrowed and said, "Early tomorrow morning, if you go to the county government with me, I will say that this kid has despised you."

The county order has received a lot of benefits from me over the years, and he will definitely help me, and when the time comes, I will give this kid three ways, either marry you, or accompany 50,000 taels of silver, or, go to prison. ”

"Fifty thousand taels?" Miss Zhou was taken aback, this is too much.

Zhou Yuanwai sneered: "He can easily take out 10,000 taels to pay taxes, and it is not difficult to take out 50,000 taels." ”

Miss Zhou bit her lip: "If his family was really so rich, he would have known that I would marry him......"

She was still here naively thinking that if she wanted to marry, Qin Ming would marry.

……

Qin Ming, who left the Zhou family, went to Xiao Nannan's house, was entertained by Xiao Nannan's parents, and spent the night.

The next day, Qin Ming was ready to say goodbye to this family, and he was going to the county to deal with the problem of the county official's private tax increase.

However, before he could leave, he saw Zhou Yuanwai coming over with more than a dozen catchers.

Qin Ming was still a little at a loss, so he listened to Zhou Yuanwai shouting: "It's him, who obviously agreed to marry my daughter, but after taking advantage of my daughter, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone." ”

At the same time, Miss Zhou came out and cried and said to Qin Ming: "You guy with no conscience, you ...... Give me back my innocence......"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood, couldn't help but his face sank, and said:

"I've seen a lot of shameless people, and it's the first time I've seen a father and daughter like you who are so shameless that they don't even care about their own face."

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't agree to marry my daughter today, we will arrest you and go to the official." Zhou Yuanwai roared.

Qin Ming had already seen through everything and said, "Do you see the official?" I happen to have this plan too, so let's go together! ”

At this time, the big man stepped forward worriedly and whispered: "Little brother, you still don't want to deal with him, the county officials don't know how much benefit they have received from these rich people over the years, they will definitely help Zhou Yuanwai, you will suffer if you go." ”。

Qin Ming smiled: "Brother, you don't have to worry, the more so, the more I have to go." ”

After that, Qin Ming took the lead and said, "Let's go, just let me meet your county officials, I want to see what tricks you have to play!" ”
