Section 487 Qin soldiers propose marriage
When Feng Lang arrived at this tofu shop, the two little sisters were fifteen years old and the younger twelve years old, pushing the huge stone mill together.
Feng Lang took the stone mill and began to push, and the young one was happy to pour water for Feng Lang.
The older one blushed and hid in the house.
"Baby, here."
The man in charge of the family had a lame leg, which was injured when he beat Qi Guo, and the family was poor and couldn't afford to heal it, so he fell like this.
He is not yet forty years old, but he can't do heavy work because of this leg.
The man is also from a poor family, no surname, no no big family, only one is named Cao Tuanzi, and he is called Uncle Cao here.
"Uncle Cao, I have received an order, I want to leave here, where to transfer according to the military regulations of our Qin army, you can't ask randomly. Even if you guess casually, you just know that you have to leave. ”
The little girl who came out with the hot water bowl changed her face greatly, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground.
Soon, the little girl was anxious: "Then, what about my sister?" ”
It is not easy to find a good man, especially when Yan Guo first experienced the Qi State and almost destroyed Yan, and then the battle against Qi Le Yi was forced to rebel, causing more than 100,000 young men in Yan Country not to come back.
It can be said that the ratio of men to women in Yan Kingdom has exceeded one to three.
For one man, there are three or more women.
This ratio makes it impossible for a girl from an ordinary family to find a suitable person to marry.
As soon as Feng Lang said that he was leaving, it was no wonder that the little girl was in a hurry, her sister was fifteen years old, and she was sixteen years old, and she would already be an old girl if she waited for two years.
Cao Tuanzi's eyes also dimmed, he originally thought that the soldiers sent by the Qin army to the Lonely City would not leave again, but he heard that he was going to be transferred.
Feng Lang's tone changed at this time: "Uncle Cao, I came this time to discuss with you, if you agree, I will ask Sima in the camp to come over to help me propose." Although we used to be people without surnames, my family Dahejun said that as long as our Qin army is a regular soldier, we are all masters, and we must talk about three books and six rituals when we marry a wife. ”
"Three, three, three......" even said three threes, but the grass dumplings didn't say anything.
The three books and six rituals are only paid attention to by large families, and ordinary people like them can have an old man with a little fame to testify, that is a great joy.
Ordinary, give something to take people away, that's all.
I even asked for three books and six rituals.
Feng Lang continued: "There is no labor in my uncle's family, so I mentioned this matter to the above. The hundred generals told the military marquis again, and it happened that Dahejun had recently inspected Feiyi and knew about it. 200,000 horses of linen, millions of money, 30,000 needles, 30,000 iron tools, and 70,000 young and strong slaves and baby slaves were approved. ”
The unit of the slave is the mouth, and in the Warring States, the slave is an inferior person.
What's more, these slaves are dwarfs again, and they are right.
Cao Tuanzi was already stunned, he had been a soldier in Yan Kingdom, but when had he ever seen such an atmospheric general.
I heard that my own soldier wanted to marry a wife, a big soldier, but what he prepared was the same thing for a big family.
I have heard before that large families have bride price, and there will be slaves and maids in the bride price, when they have small families.
The grass dumplings are already stupid, and they don't even know how to answer.
Feng Lang scratched his head, and said in his heart that this is different from what Sima taught, the Cao Tuanzi family doesn't ask questions or speak, what should they do?
The room was silent for a long time, Feng Lang couldn't help it, and said: "Uncle Cao, look at this fine linen, one coarse linen, plus five hundred coins, ten needles, two iron pots, and a strong slave and a baby slave. No, it doesn't work. ”
The head of the grass ball, which was originally like a paste, is even more chaotic.
The little girl jumped out at this time: "Give, give me a household, I want less when I'm young." ”
"What's wrong with being young, brother will pick a good one for you, brother has a soldier under him who can fight and kill, so let him prepare a copy according to his brother." Just pick a family of men and women with two babies to send them, and my brother will give you five feet of flower cloth. ”
Cloth!!!
The little girl's eyes lit up, you must know that the flower cloth is only owned by Qin in the world, and many rich people can't buy it with money.
"No way!" Kusadanzi slapped his thigh and stood up.
Feng Lang was stunned.
This is different from what Sima said in the army, according to Sima in the army, such a rich dowry is enough to marry two at a time.
This is for the Yan girl who has real affection, just like Feng Lang and the eldest daughter of this household, who are affectionate and really want to live.
Feng Lang is also a little anxious in his heart, he really likes it.
Without waiting for Feng Lang to get nervous, Cao Tuanzi said: "Baby, you give so much, how will your family live in the future." ”
"Ahh Feng Lang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Uncle, I have money, and I still have 300 acres of fertile land under my name. ”
"Three, three hundred acres."
Cao Tuanzi, an ordinary soldier of the Yan Army, was really subverted by Feng Lang's words.
How could Qin Jun be so rich.
300 acres, how many people will go to farming.
Feng Lang didn't explain that the fields of the Qin soldiers were imaginary fields, that is, they had fields, but they didn't have to care about it, they were military governors of the big farms, and then according to the harvest of 300 acres, the soldiers of the Qin army were given food every year, and the actual harvest was about forty percent of their own farming.
Among them, there are various deductions such as farm management expenses, field tax, etc., and forty percent of the income that really falls in the pocket.
Let's put it another way.
It can be understood that the annual salary of a soldier is just a standard based on acres of land.
Cao Tuanzi sat there and thought about it for a long time, and he had an urge to escape from Yan Kingdom, that is, to follow his son-in-law to live in a different place.
However, the matter for the moment has to be settled.
Cao Tuanzi said: "Yes, all yes." Can you find a good home for Xiaoya? ”
"Yes."
"Can we go to you?"
"Yes, when I settle down, I will send someone to pick you up the two elders, you don't know, in our village of Qin, starting at the age of six, the village will give Mengxue and do not charge money. Only when you are literate and practice martial arts can you become a master. Feng Lang mentioned Qin Guo, and there was pride in his tone that could not be concealed.
After speaking, Feng Lang took out a piece of white linen from his baggage.
Seeing this fine white linen, the little girl's eyes straightened.
But I never expected that this white linen cloth was opened and it was a six-foot flower cloth.
Don't say that it is a poor family, how many people in Yan Country have seen beautiful fine linen with colorful flowers, and ordinary people absolutely do not.
For the aristocracy, each royal family had officials who were in charge of printing and dyeing, and they were called dyers.
