Wang Tiedan said: "I have a father and mother in my family, two brothers and a sister, how many people are there?" I'll do the math. ”

He flexed and stretched his fingers, and after a long time, he finally said, "There are five people in total." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Did you leave yourself behind?" ”

Wang Tiedan fiddled with his fingers for a while and said, "Really, I missed myself, it should be six people." ”

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "I first asked your family how much land they planted, but you haven't answered yet." ”

Wang Tiedan said: "My father and brother planted eighty acres of land in Mr. Wang's house. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Then can they be busy planting so much?" How much food can you harvest at home each year? ”

Wang Tiedan touched his head and said, "Dad and his brothers are very busy, sometimes I will help to go to the field together, grain?" My sister and I sometimes dig up some wild vegetables, and we can get by. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself, fifty acres of land, more than three laborers worked hard, and they couldn't support a family of six, how could they get rich with such an income.

Zhu You proofread Duan Ying and said: "Give each child a piece of candy, give Wang Tiedan two pieces, Wang Tiedan, are you willing to take me to your house?" ”

Wang Tiedan took the candy and said, "Okay, but my father is not at home, and there are only my mother and sister at home." ”

Several people followed Wang Tiedan to his house, the house was much worse than Sanzhu's, four dilapidated grass huts, but they were clean. Tie Dan Niang was taken aback when she saw the stranger, and Wang Tie Dan said: "This sister, they want to see where we live, so I'll take them to see it." Mother, this is the candy my sister gave me, you eat a piece and taste it. ”

Tie Danniang smiled: "Give your sister to eat, my mother won't eat it." ”

Tiedan's sister saw outsiders and hid in the house. Tie Dan took the candy to find his sister. Hakka Duan Ying and Tie Dan Niang talked for a while, Tie Dan Niang said: "Distinguished guests, please sit in the house first, I want to make some food for the family, they work hard, and they can't stand it." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "You do it, wait a minute, let's follow together to see the field where you are in charge." ”

Tie Danniang asked cautiously: "The noble man wants to buy the land of the king master?" Our family is willing to work hard, but don't quit our land. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "That's not it, let's just take a look." ”

Tie Danniang went to eat with a face full of disbelief, that is, a jar of wild vegetable soup, plus three pieces of cake, and it was quickly prepared.

Tie Dan went to deliver food, and Zhu Youxiao and a few people followed, more than half a mile away was the land rented by Tie Dan's family, and the three men were busy in the field. The weather was still a little cold, but they were all wearing only single clothes.

Tie Dan's father saw Tie Dan coming and said, "Rest first, eat something and then do it." ”

The three of them came to the field stalk, and Tie Dan introduced Zhu Youxiao to his father and brother. Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, and said, "You guys eat first, and I'll ask about something later." ”

After eating anxiously, Tiedan's father walked over cautiously and said, "What do you want to ask?" Xiao Lao'er has always been in the township, and if he has no knowledge, if he doesn't answer well, he also asks the nobles to bear with him. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "It's okay." You have rented the land of the king, how much is the rent? ”

Tiedan's father replied: "The land rent is four buckets per acre of land. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "How much can I collect that year?" ”

Tiedan's father replied: "In normal years, one acre of land can be harvested with one stone and two or two. ”

Zhu Youxiao calculated in his heart, if one stone is pressed, then the Tie Dan family can earn forty-eight stones, and if one stone is two, that is sixty-four stones, which is already a good situation for a family of six.

Zhu Youxiao then asked: "If the weather is not good, will the rent be reduced after the arrears?" ”

Tiedan's father smiled bitterly: "Four buckets will not become, only four buckets will be accepted, and four buckets will be handed over." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "The imperial court recruits people to immigrate to Taiwan, and divides fifty acres of land according to the people, and there is no need to pay taxes for three years, and they can lend you farm tools and seeds to help you repair your house, why don't you go?" ”

Tiedan's father said: "I heard of this last time, but I haven't heard of a house and furniture." Mr. Wang said that the government would deceive us first, and then it would collect taxes, and there would be no such good thing. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "If there is really such a good thing as what I just said, will you go?" ”

Tiedan's father said: "Then I have to discuss with one of my brothers and two younger brothers first, I can't go to all four of them, and I have to leave one person here to watch the ancestral tomb." ”

Zhu Youxiao listened to him, and he actually wanted the three brothers to immigrate together. He smiled and said, "Do you know where Taiwan is?" ”

Tiedan's father smiled and said: "It's no problem anywhere, the ancestors have people who put incense on the pillar at all four o'clock, and there is nothing in their hearts that they can't put down, and it is much better to rent their own fields than to rent other people's." As long as the government really says so, I still believe that the emperor will not lie to us. ”

Wei Zhongxian interjected: "Well said! The elder brother really understands things very clearly, the saint cares about the farmer, and only wishes that there is no hunger and cold in the world, that is the best emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and continued to ask, "Are there more people in your village who think like you?" ”

Tiedan's father said: "The last time I saw the Lubu of the government in Qinghe, I didn't recognize the words of the family above, and there was a Xiucai who said that the imperial court recruited the poor people from all over the world to immigrate to Taiwan, and one person gave fifty acres of land. At that time, I heard that several people discussed trying it, but later Mr. Wang said that it was a lie, and everyone faded their minds. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked again: "The front and back areas of your house are also quite large, if you raise some chickens and ducks and the like, you can also subsidize some households." ”

Tiedan's father shook his head and said, "It's already difficult for us to live now, and how can we have any money left over to support these things." ”

Zhu Youxiao chatted with him for a while, and then left. On the road, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I really thought that everyone was inseparable from their homeland, but it turned out that the publicity was not in place." Factory Chen, as soon as I go back, I will start to prepare for the business of the trading company, and I have thought of a name, so it will be called an agricultural cooperative. Not only do I lend them money, but I can also buy their output, sell them seeds, farm tools, and provide technical training in planting, and in ten years, I will see a rich and beautiful countryside. ”

Wei Zhongxian knelt down and said: "The slave and maid are congratulatory for the saint and congratulatory for Daming." The slave and the maid are willing to saddle the horse before and after the saint, and then die. ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Get up." It's all upside down in every word, let's do it well, let's transform the Ming Dynasty together, and let our Chinese nation become the greatest nation on the planet forever. ”
