Chapter 20 The new landlords and upstarts
The princess's mansion was built very quickly, thousands of craftsmen and people worked day and night, in a few days, a magnificent princess's mansion has been slightly outlined, the villagers of Taiping Village were curious, tried to take a closer look, and found that the officials and guards who supervised the construction site were very kind, not only did not drive everyone away, but the officials of the Ministry of Industry took the initiative to talk with the villagers with a cordial face, chatting.
Small talk is still very useful, the old man Zhao in the village chatted with the officials for a long time, and then the old man Zhao came back with a proud face to tell everyone that the construction site of the princess's mansion is short of manpower, and if the young people in the village want to earn some grain, they can go to the construction site to work, three cents a day, or exchange for two catties of millet rice.
The farmers cheered, rolled up their sleeves and ran to the construction site without saying a word.
The construction speed of the princess's mansion is getting faster and faster, and it has taken shape in only half a month. The mansion is nearly six acres larger than the original Hu family, the main hall of the pavilion and the water pavilion rockery are all there, the main hall is more than a zhang higher than the original Hu family main hall, the corner eaves are added on both sides, there is a fireball in the middle of the top of the palace, and the tail of the kissing beast that is dedicated to the royal family.
A month later, the Princess's Mansion was completed.
In the evening when the afterglow was full, a team of more than 100 Jinwu guards played ceremonial cards, held five-winged high screens, followed by more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids, and more than 100 people surrounded by a golden soft chariot, quietly entered Taiping Village and stayed in the princess's mansion.
…………
"What does a princess look like?"
The king stump hung on a thick ginkgo tree, squinting his eyes and looking at the extravagant princess's mansion in the distance.
"I didn't see it, I haven't shown up since I entered the village, and no one in the village has seen it......" Wang Zhi's expression was also very yearning, and the young man's initial expectation was clear at a glance: "It should be more beautiful than Yang Widow/Woman......"
As he spoke, he made a very exaggerated gesture with his hands: "The butt should be as big as two grinding discs, so it's good to be healthy." ”
Li Su didn't want to deal with them, and everyone's generation gap was more than a thousand years, but now he couldn't help it.
"Wang Lao Er, be careful when you speak, it doesn't matter if we talk about this kind of thing, don't spread it to the village, otherwise you will be questioned by the government, and you won't mention the princess behind your back."
Wang Zhu was two years older than Wang Zhi, and he had also reached the age of sensibility, so he shook his head for a moment, and then swooped down from the tree and slapped Wang Zhi on the back of the head.
"Mouthful, dare to jump out if you don't want to die, don't drag your father and mother down, listen to your nonsense again, and waste your tongue."
Li Su ignored the two of them, and lowered his head and drilled holes in a long flat piece of wood with a small awl. As for the topics discussed by the two brothers, such as what the princess looks like, how magnificent the princess's mansion is, how majestic the team of Jinwuwei soldiers at the door is, etc., Li Su didn't want to talk about these topics.
It's too far away, it's not like living in the same world, and there is no need to mix the topic of princesses at all.
"Li Su, what are you doing?" The Wang brothers came over curiously.
Li Su didn't raise his head: "Toothbrush." ”
"What does a toothbrush do?"
Li Su sighed: "The toothbrush, of course, is for brushing teeth, is it used to wash the toilet?" ”
Tired of the wicker branches of this era, poke a few times in the mouth every day, and after washing, a mouthful of broken wood chips can't be spit out for half a day, Li Su's cleanliness habit is restrained and restrained, and finally can't bear it.
In the past few days, I have carefully collected some pig brown hair, built it neatly, and then drilled holes in the wood, stuffed the brown hair into small holes, fixed it with fish glue, and a simple version of the toothbrush is completed.
"How? Beautiful and sophisticated, right? ”
Li Su held up the masterpiece he had just made and showed off to the Wang brothers with a proud face. Under the sun, the toothbrush that had condensed the painstaking efforts emitted ten thousand golden lights like a magic weapon, and the treasure was very solemn.
Toothbrushes are available, but toothpaste is a problem, about its composition......
Forget it, use salt, Li Su only wants to live a leisurely and lazy life, and will never embarrass himself with too complicated questions, such as toothpaste ingredients or something.
"What's this?" Wang Zhu took the toothbrush in Li Su's hand and looked at it curiously for a long time: "For brushing teeth?" Stuffed in your mouth? ”
After speaking, Wang Zhu made a move that made Li Su want to kill him ten thousand times, he stuffed the freshly made toothbrush into his mouth, and then ...... Twitching back and forth.
Pulling it out of his mouth, Wang Zhu handed the toothbrush back to Li Su with disdain: "No, I'll give it back to you." ”
How do you practice the eighteen palms of the dragon? No matter.
Li Su went crazy and finished a complete set of dragon descending eighteen palms on Wang Zhu's body, and then threw the toothbrush on Wang Zhu's body.
"I've sent you, kill you!"
*********************************************************
Spring is coming, it is the busy farming season, and Li Daozheng and Li Su are even busier.
The imperial court rewarded the Li family with 20 acres of land, it is difficult to cook only by the father and son, when the spring sowing, Li Daozheng and Li Su were tired and tired for three days and three nights, and everyone was about to lie down, the father and son gasped and stuck out their tongues to talk about life and ideals for an afternoon, and finally came to a very money-hurting conclusion, - hire people.
There is no way, spring sowing must race against time, twenty acres of land are connected end to end and you can't see the end, Li Daozheng's body is okay to say, Li Su's body can only be said to be slightly higher than waste.
The tightly hidden ten pieces of money were turned out, Li Daozheng's lips trembled, gritted his teeth and counted one penny at a time, the muscles on his face couldn't help but tremble every time he counted one penny, and counted out three hundred wen in his hand, Li Su sensitively found that Li Daozheng's eyes were filled with tears, as if he was donating his own body organs, and put the money on the table.
Looking at the pile of copper coins on the table that were about to be spent, Li Daozheng sighed faintly, with a look of sadness for the white-haired man to the black-haired man.
"I can't live, it's too much to hurt money...... Li Daozheng said and said, tears really flowed down, and while he was sad, he pulled it down, and dozens of dollars were pulled away: "Tell them again, ...... less"
Li Su was also about to cry, his mood was extremely heavy, when the court rewarded the ten yuan he made a shopping list, the first thing was to buy a large bronze mirror, take a mirror every day, and appreciate his peerless face beautifully, now look at Dad's stingy appearance, the good wish to buy a bronze mirror is broken like a bubble in the sun......
300 yuan, invited ten village farmers to help with spring sowing, and the delayed farm work was completed in a few days. Li Su felt that the price was very fair, Li Daozheng obviously didn't think so, and after the money was spent, he had a gloomy face every day, looking like he had a Qingming Festival every day.
From a poor village household to a small landlord, I have to say that Li Daozheng's mentality has not yet been corrected.
If it weren't for that elusive magic weapon, Li Su would have wanted to talk to his father about life and ideals again, telling him what wealth is and what the world is bustling......
However, the unreasonable rattan has become a generation gap between father and son, Li Su decided not to say a word, and admired his father's tangled expression every day, which is actually quite pleasing to the eye.
…………
Princess Dongyang became the largest landlord in Taiping Village, and the holy decree said that "100 households in the real food town" means that 100 families in the village have become the Zhuang households in the princess Zhuangzi, and these 100 families will transfer the grain tax that was originally to be handed over to the government to the princess after working every year.
The new landlord's wife was very polite, did not put the royal shelf at all, and spent three days to take care of the internal affairs of the princess's mansion, Princess Dongyang went out in person, and visited several respected elders in the village in accordance with etiquette.
The old people were moved to tears, and swore that they would take care of the dealers properly, and whoever dared to be naughty and mischievous would take his head, and make the head into a wine vessel and send it to the princess before the case, considering that the princess is a daughter's family, the wine vessel can be carved a few peonies for the princess......
I don't know what the princess was feeling at the time, but when she heard that she left, her pretty face was a little pale, and the smile on her face was like crying.
Soon, the new rules of the main house**.
It is said that it is a new rule, but in fact, it is all Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and there is basically no change, but there is one more new policy, which is also the only bright spot.
Princess Dongyang decided to build a school at the east end of Taiping Village and set up a village school.
